EUROPEANS TOLD
LIBERATION NEAR

LONDON, April 30.-R-The
United States inaugurated its pre-
invasion broadcasts to Europe
from troop-jammed Britain today
with a message to the conquered
people that their day of liberation
is mot far Distant and that the
Germans soon will "really learn
what overwhelming force can be-"
''In this great historic year OF
1914 the Allied radio will bring
you tremendous news" said Rob-
ert E. Sherwood, director of the
Office of War Information's over
seas operations, in opening the
program of "ABSIE" - Ameri-
can Bradcasting Station In Eu-
rope.
"And the day is not far distant
when your own radio stations will
be free to tell you the truth in
stead of tremendous lies of the
Nazi collabora tionsists and Quis-
lings."
Then in a word of caution to I'M
foreground workers in France and
call countries including Germany
and the satellites" Sherwood adj
ded:
do not be premature. Do not
reveal yourselves until the prop
er time. Remember we shall give
you the signal when the hour
comes for you to rise up against
the enemy and strike"

The government took over OPP

directive of the War Labor Board
and a request from President
Roosevelt to extend the company S

bill, now in conference. Chief Diff
ference is the senate-approved pro-
posal of Senator Kenneth Nickel
lar, Democrat, Tennessee, requir-
ing the Tennessee Valley Authority
to come to congress for it's ap-
preparations instead of utilizing
support money from the authority $
revolving fund.
Before the senate acts upon con-
tlnuation of the lend-lease pro-
gram, already approved by the
house, the Foreign Relations Com
mlttee, headed by Senator Tom
Connally, Democrat, Texas, is ex-
pected to look into charges that
Americans are living in luxury in
Mexico as a result of lend-lease
expenditures south Of the border.
The charge was hurled Saturday
by Representative Fred Bradley,
Republican. Michigan, who said
he had been informed by "a ma
tionally known engineer and con-
tractor" that certain persons are
living in Mexico, paying no taxes
and profiting from "a multitude OF
so-called good neighbor projects,
large and small"
An atte pit is to be made by
the Senate Agriculture Committee,
when the agriculture appropria-
ton bill is brought up during the
week, to provide for continuation
of the Farm Security Adninistra-
ton and the school lunch program.
The house previously declined to
appropriate funds for FSA's rural
rehabilitation loan program and
school lunch cor tinuation under
a reaffirmed policy not to ap-
propriate for any agency not au-
thorized by specific legislation.
Senator Richard e. Russell, De-
mocrat, Georgia, chairman of the
Senate Agriculture Appropriations
subcommittee, said he would lead
a floor move "to add funds for the
FSA and school lunch program. p"
FSA Administrator Frank w. Han
cock, a North Carolinian, appeared
Thursday before the house agri-
culture committee to repor1 on the
work of the agency.
Senator Ellison D. Cotton Ed
Smith, Democrat, South Carolina,
chairman of the senate agriculture
committee, is ready with meas
ure providing for greater federal
assistance in control and eradica-
ton Of animal and plant pests and
diseases, facilitate forest fire con-
troll, encourage greater conserva-
ton and provide more cooperation
in administration of farm credit
and rural identification. The bill
will probably be considered during
the week.
The problem of war contract ter
mination is still under considera,
ton, with the House Rules Com
mittee having declined to bring to
the floor two measures because OF
a deadlock between the house mi
litary and naval affairs committees
concerning provisions. A military
