CIO. organized employees at two Torrington factories last night took action that may lead to walkouts.
 At the Torrington Company, workers voted overwhelmingly in favor of a strike to enforce their demands for a pay increase of IS l-2 cents an hour. The union unit at the Turner & Seymour Manufac- turing Company endorsed the &C., tion of its negotiating committee in rejecting a company offer.
 U. s. Conciliator J. Fl. DeCantillon has arranged a conference for to- morrow in the Torringtcn Company dispute. The company has offered an increase approximating 10 per cent, but this is unsatisfactory to the members of the Mine, Mill & Shelter Workers Union unit.
 Thomas Baccei, international rep- resentative for the M.M.S.W., said the union will press for a straight ls l-2 cent boost at Turner & Sey- mour. A strike had been Sched- uled to start Monday but was post poned indefinitely when the com pany said it was planning new offer. The offer, made Tuesday, calls for a 10 cent raise now, with an additional boost to meet any higher increase granted in Torring- ton industry.

 Voluntary Action ' Desired in D. 5.

Washington, March 2s. (uP)- President Trumans famine emer- gency committee predicted today that this country can fulfill it's food commitments for starvation relief if Americans voluntarily reduce their consumption of wheat by 70 percent and fats and oils by 20 per- cent.
 Chairman Chester Davis said he was confident that the job can be done by voluntary conservation measures outlined early this month by the committee"
 He said rationing was not being considered "at this stage because it would take at least four months to get a rationing program into operation"
 Davis pointed out that by that time Europe would have her first grain harvest and the critical stage of the war against famine abroad will be over"
 Meanwhile, government officials called on Americans to remobilize their wartime victory gardening program to make more food avail able for export.

 Now we've got wilson W. Wyatt, the housing expeditor, before the Senate Banking Committee, seeking a new law, which would give him the power to get built before the end of next year 2,700, 900 roofs over the heads of ex-soldlers,
 Everybory agrees the Ideas ele- gant. But everybody-and I mean that literally-has a different idea how to do it. So let's watch the dapper Wyatt sweat out the crease in his pants, rumple his hair, and unlock his collar pin arguing with some senators who think he's got what they call the c2ar complex.
 Sen. Homer Capehart of Ind, said the trouble with Wyatt was that hU was a hard-working, conscien- tious man. The Senator said he had no doubt Wyatt would build two million houses in two years,
 But give me the power that this bill gives you" added Senator Cape hart, "and I could build 5000, 900 houses. Why, you can upset the entire economy of this nation"
 "only I don't intend to-" Wyatt insisted.
 Tries to Get in Few Words
 And you could reQuisition every one of the l25,000 motor trucks that come of the assembly lines each month and use them in the building industry" the Senator continued. And :"
 "Yes, but ." Wyatt tried to interrupt.
 You could take all the plywood, all the copper, all the brass, all the light bulbs and use them in veter- ans housing" Senator Capehart added.
 But I wouldn't do all those things" Expeditor Wyatt insisted, not even noticing when his collar pin snapped open.
 Why, you could close down all the furniture factories in the United States because they use lumber, Senator Capehart said.
 But then we couldn't furnish tke houses" Wyatt retorted.
 "Oh, yes, you could furnish the houses" Senator Capehart replied You just couldn't furnish the fur niture."
