Of 65 to 56.
Chairman Bland Of the House
Merchant Marine Committee told
the House Mr.. Dirksen's amendment
would complicate work already done
to solve the knotty problem of arriv-
ing at fair prices for ships requisi-
toned for war purposes.
Representative. Case, Republican,

sought to add an amendment requir-
ing monthly, instead of semimonthly
payment of Government workers

The amendment, he said, would save

|S4-Bi|Iion Supply Bill
Approved by House;
FEC Cut S1,654,000
Ry the Associated Press.

BY tne Associated Press.
The House unanimously passed
the first regular appropriation bill
of 1914, the $500, 900 ,352 independ-
ent offices supply measure, after
agreeing to a 1854 ,857 cut in funds
for the Federal Communications
Commission.
The only money change made in
the bill, which carries funds for a
score of miscellaneous agencies for
the year starting July and now
goes to the Senate for action, was
a reduction of $5OO,0O0 in admin
istrative funds for the Federal Home
Loan Bank, leaving that agency with
sl0.853,825.
A move to reduce the FEC funds
further in retaliation for the atti-
tude of Chairman James L. Fly in
refusing to testify before a special
House committee last year failed to
materialize.
FEC Gets $6,7I6,0O0
AS passed, the measure gave FEC
s6, 6,7l6,843,~ a reduction of $1,654,857
as recommended by the Appropria-
tions Committee from budget esti-
mates OF $8,37l 700 Representative
Taber, Republican, of New York, in
proposing earlier that the cut be
extended, called Mr.. Fly "a menace
to the war effort"
Most of the FEC cut, $1,000 900
was applied to the radio intelligence
division, which the Appropriation
Committee said had been doing work
that better could be done by the War
and Navy Departments. President
Roosevelt has held on the other
hand, that FEC should continue its
work in this field.
Most Of the money in the bill was
carmarked for the Maritime Com
mission. which received 1896 ,0OO.-
900. The Veterans Administration
got the next largest share, $l,259.-
310,500.

Yanks Blow Up Selves
10 Stop Nazi Tanks in
Beachhead Battle
BY REYNOLDS PACKARD,

representing lne ComDlneQ American PreSS,
Distributed by the Associated Press.
AT THE 5TH ARMY BEACH
HEAD IN ITALY, Feb. I've have
just run into some of the toughest
fighting on the beachhead since the
landings, knocking out enemy tanks
and self-propelled guns with hand
grenades and revolverS.
Some of the greatest stories of
heroism have been written by Amer
ican troops in this fighting During
one of several handto- hand skirm-
isheS some Yanks ran out of ammu-
milton, snatched weapons from the
enemy and, using the enemy arms,
kept on fighting.
In one place where enemy tanks
started firing into ditch which was
being used as a natural trench sew
eral American soldiers jumped out
and, running toward the tanks gave
up their lives in jumping on the
tanks and blowing themselves up
with the tanks.
NaZis Pay Heavy Toll.
Some wounded men who returned
from the scene of this fighting
described their comrades as swarm
ing over the tanks and killing the
Germans with anything from hand
grenades to pistols, regardless of
their cwn lives"
1t probably has been the bloodiest
fighting since the landings, with the
Germans paying a heavy toll for
their stiff resistance Whole fields
are scattered with German dead.
The Germans used tarmhouSeS and
siloS for machine gun nests in trying
to establish crlSS-CroSS fire against
the Yanks, who then made for the
houses, wiping out the enemy nests
inside them.
The enemy concentrated shell and
mortar fire around the area where
they were fighting.
Pinned Down by Mortar Fire.
Crossing the field with Chaplain
Capt Neil IS. eastman from St
Marks Catholic Church, st. Paul,
MINI. who was retrieving some
bodies of some dead Americans killed
in the fighting just ahead of us, we
were pinned down by mortar fire
The first shell landed 30 yards away,
splattering US with chunks of soil
We dived into a slip trench which
the troops had left behind and
waited for the deluge of steel to
let up.
The entire front in this sector is
like one of London's pea-soup fogs,

dust kicked up by the fighting and
