TASK FORCE

Winter has finally arrived at
the headquarters of the army
ground forces Arctic winter
testing unit, Task Force "Frig-
i'd" While it is a scientific fact
that winter does not officially
arrive in Alaska until December
81, members of the task force,
including Pfc. Walter Pantoja
of Lodge Grass, are convinced
that it is already here.
With the fall of the first
snow and the accompanying di-
receive concerning the wearing
of shu-pacs, the task force per-
sonnet prepared to settle down
to work and take whatever win
ter has to offer this year in the
Fairbanks area.
Testing personnel are prepar-
ing to take the various types
of army ground forces rolling
stock and equippage into the
field and subject them to the
Arctic weather.
Located less than 100 miles
from the Arctic circle, Ladd
field, near Fairbanks, can ex-
pect temperatures which may
plunge to minus sc degrees and
snow that may exceed so inches
during the winter months.
Since it's arrival at Ladd field,
the task force, which was or
ganized and trained for its Arc
tic venture in the milder tenn
peratures of Fort Ord, CAL, has
been awaiting the commence
ment of it's job as the largest
of the army ground forces win
ter testing units. Other winter
tests are being conducted by
task forces WilliwaW at Adak
and Frost at Camp Mccoy, Wis.
The tests got under way on

ASKS USE OF
MORE POTATOES

The U. S. Department of Ag-
r%iculture, through r.. J. NC
Kenna, Montana state director
for the Production and Mar
keting administration, this week
called upon the restaurant
trade and individual consum-
ers to cooperate in the nation
wide program to increase dur
ing the month of November
consumption of potatoes, which
this year were produced in the
record = breaking quantity of
All ,000, 900 bushels.
Potatoes" said McKenna,
"are one major food item
whose price actually is lower
than the average price at this
time last year. In these days
of fluctuating costs, there is
considerable satisfaction to be
gained from the knowledge
that you can purchase a bag
of potatoes at your grocer'S
without having to speculate at
a drastic price rise common to
so many other foods in recent
weeks.
80 abundant has been the
production of potatoes this year
that the price received by pro-
ducers has lowered around the
minimum levels below which
the government would be OBJ
liged to step in and make out
right purchases to support the
price. Eating more potatoes
right now while they are album
dant and reasonable in price
simply means getting more for
your food dollar"
The governments program to
increase spud consumption is
scheduled to peak" around the
middle of November, supported
by newspaper, radio and trade
organization publicity and adj
vertising throughout the nation.

CHICAGO, April 2O-P)-Amer-
leans may have to cut their con-
sumption of bread and other wheat
products even more than the Is pei
cent ordered by the government
unless a Federal bonus induce
ment brings rush of stored wheat
from the farms, milling sources in
dicated today.
A survey of the government S
program for 25 per cent slash
in flour consumption to combat
famine in Europe brought these
reactions:
&c. D. Mckenzie, president of
the Miller's National federation,
said unless farmers release their
stores of whea+ it is extremely
doubtful sufficient grain would be
available at the mills to produce

ed out last year.
Sees Big Reduction
2Dr. Franklin Bing, director od
the American Institute of Baking,
the scientific and educational arm
of the American baking industry
said the wheat slash probably
would mean a horizontal one-fourtt
reduction in all products contain
ing flour. There was no prospect
he added, that bread production
could be kept up with cores
ponding additional reduction II
other bakery goods.
3-Most farmer, milling ane
grain trading sources said the.
believed the plan for a bonus pay
ment of 80 cents bushel would
succeed in bringing stored grair
from the farms although a "wai

some.

POLITICIANS AIM
AT MAJOR STATES
Expect Issue OF House
Control To Be Settled In
November Elections

WASHINGTON, April 2O.-P-
Both political parties are aiming
their biggest guns today on a hall
dozen states where they expect
the issue of House of Representa-
tives control to be settled in the
November elections.
Although there will be hot con-
tests in many other areas, Demo-
cratic and Republican leaders ap-
parently are in one of their rare
agreements that the results in New
York, Pennsylvania, California, IL
linois, Ohio and Missouri will pret-
ty well tell the tale of who is 60
ing to control the next congress.
Republicans say they think they
can gain in these areas a major
portion of the 27' seats they now
need for mum arical control of the
House. Democrats counter this
with, the assertion that they. will
more than hold their own on these
main backgrounds.
Democrats further contend that
they are almost certain to retain
control of the Senate, where with
35 members running for reelection
the Republicans must make a net
gain of ten seats to organize that
body. Republicans are hopeful, ra-
ther than convinced, that they can
turn the trick because only five
of the posts at stake are to be
filled in the solid south.
New York, with the biggest
number of House places to be fill
ed, As, offers the best prize for
either party. Now representatio is
split equally with % Democrats,
% Republicans and one American
labor. New York elects a Senator
also.
Chairman Sidney Hillman has
said the CIO political action COM
mittee will support progressive
Democratic ticket in New York.
The Republicans Immediately took
up that challenge with an assertion
by National chairman Carroll
Reece that the CIO group is "a
spearhead of reactionism" against
Which the Republican party of
liberalism" is fighting.
Pennsylvania promises to be a
tough battle-ground, with the Repub-
licans more hopeful of House gains
there than in New York. AS it
stands now Republicans fill 18 of

DAILY PRICE HIKE
SEEN DURING YEAR
OPA Still Holding To
Theory OF Orderly
Readjustments

WASHINGTON, April 20.-U.D-
Even if Congress should let the
price control act alone, daily price
boosts would be in the cards for
the rest of this year, an OPA Of
ficial said tonight.
Forecasting a continuing pro-
gram of steady price increases, the
official said OPA had granted more
boosts in the past two months than
ever before in a similar period
since price control has been in ex-
istence. -,
But, he insisted, price increases
granted in an orderly manner by
OPA are far less inflationary than
the abrupt rises that would result if
congress insists on s'crippling
amendments to price extension
Legislation.
In the past 10 days. the OPA has
announced about so price increases
on such items as automobiles,
work clothes, citrus fruits, cam
eras, furnaces, wool rugs, beans,
peas and pet foods.
Meanwhile, the Senate Banking
committee has been conducting
hearings on price control extension
and farm state senators have been
predicting even more drastic cur
tailments of .OPA's power than
those voted this week by the house.
The house approved nine-month
extension of price control but at
tached so many curbing amend
ments that OPA Chief Paul Porter
said the measure, it finally enac-
ted, would boost living costs 4C
per cent. %
Sen. Allen j. Ellender, D., La,
declared that the time had come
for the administration to fix new
wage-price stabilization line ''in the
light of higher wages" He said
it was unfair to let the line bulge
for wage, increases without letting
it give also in the form of price
boosts.
In explaining the hundreds OF
price increases that OPA has
granted since VI Day, an official
of the OPA Price department
made these points.
/. Most of the increases were
not on major cost-of-living items
rents, food, clothing, fuel.
2. 1t is OPA policy to grant in
creases to correct inequities and
to spur production of certain items.
