A serious drive to eliminate
fertilizer petroleum and farm
machinery from the stopgap
foreign aid program today gave
rise to the latest threat against
the bill in the House.
Backers of the $5sO,OO0 900 meas
ure for France, Italy, Austria and
China were hoping to head off this
threat by promising to submit q
more flexible substitute later.
The amendment they have in
mind would direct the President to
draw up regulations intended to
minimize "the drain on the natural
resources of the United States and
the impact on the domestic price
level"
Although they succeeded late yes
terday in defeating more drastic
amendment designed to keep all
scarce commodities in the United
States, those in charge of the bill
were fearful today they might not
beat the new amendment confined
to fertilizer, petroleum and farm
machinery.
Meanwhile, slow progress created
doubt that the bill would pass be-
fore tomorrow with the major fight
still to come over the amount of
money to be authorized.
Backers of the stopgap aid bill
warned the House that eliminating
products in short supply at home
would be equivalent to killing the
program. On a preliminary stand
ing count, the amendment to ban
export of all scarce commodities
was defeated by the narrow margin
of 122 TO Ill
Proposed BY War Veteran.
When sponsors of the amendment
demanded a recount by tellers, how
ever, they lost ground. This time
the amendment failed, 1856 to 109.
Friends of the bill also succeeded
in beating a move to limit the pro-
gram strictly to feed, fuel and fer
tilizer. Representative Coudert, Re-
publican of New York, had moved
to eliminate shipment of any 'in.
centive" goods. 1t was rejected.
145 to 1872.
The only amendment put In the
bill yesterday over the objections
of the hackers of the legislation was
the proposal Of Representative Case,
Republican, of South Dakota to
require this Government to do the
purchasing of supplies. He accom-
plished this by striking out a clause
which would have enabled the
President to establish in this coun-
try credits available to the recip-
lent countries. The Case amend.
ment also requires the President to
buy through existing Government
departments.
The House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee itself put through one
amendment, making the bill retro
active to December /, even though
it may not become law until near
the. end of the month.
Representative Vorys, Republican,
of Ohio explained that this will
save France from having to use

Reds End Strike
In France, Order
Back
CGT Chiefs Direct
Workers to Return
To Jobs Tomorrow
BULLETIN
PARIS (FJ.-The Communist
dominated French General
Confederation of Labor Or
dered Frances 100000 strik-
ers back to work tomorrow.
By the Associated Press

PARIS, Dec. 9.-Communist
labor leaders gave every indica-
ton today that they intend to
defy a cabinet ultimatum order
ing Frances 100000 strikers to
get back on the job by tomorrow
or feel the militant wrath of
their government.
Benoit Frachon, the Communist
secretary general of the General
Confederation of Labor (CGT), to
which the ultimatum was delivered
last night, expressed extreme dis
satisfaction with the terms of the
cabinet statement, offering bonuses
and promises to the strikers.
The Central National Strike Com
mittee, solidly Communist group
of CGT leaders operating independ-
emily, declared Immediately that it's
strike order still stood and added
that steps even were being taken
to strengthen effectiveness of the
work stopages, which have crippled
the French economy.
Provisions of Offer.
Premier Robert Schuman's new
offer to the strikers, made last
night, provided:
/. Strikers must return to work
by tomorrow.
2. For so doing, they will receive
as will the millions who did not
strike - cost-of- living bonuses of
1900 francs ($12.5O) a month, dating
from November "a.
8. In addition, the government
will undertake immediate studies in
an effort to stabilize salaries and
prices, retroactive to December /.
4. Further, the government will
not attempt to prosecute strikers
except those guilty of sabotage, vio-
lence preventing ponstrikers from
working, or for other violations OF
the new antistrike law.
5. Strikers will receive no Gay
for time lost during the walkouts,
which began nearly month ago.
Ultimate Concessions.
The strikers want the minimum
wage boosted to 10000 francs ($9Y)
which is 81 more than the govern
ment's best offer so far and $40 bet
ter than the present minimum.
Labor Minister Daniel Mayer, a
Socialist, who transmitted the ulti-
matum to CGT, declared:
These propositions constitute the
ultimate points of concession on the
part of the government.
On receiving it, Frachon COM
mented sourly:
I'VE have made an effort for con-
ciliation, but the government
hasn't"
The government Immediately gave
demonstrations of the force it in
tended to use to fight the strikes if
the offer is not accepted. At Mont
.pellier, 18 men were arrested and
charged under the new and drastic
anti-Strike law with obstructing
workers at an automobile plant.
Strikers Driven Away.
At Marseille, troops took over
the important st. Charles Railway
Station and drove strikers from
the district. Authorities said they
hoped to get trains running soon
from Frances second largest city
and greatest port, where the labor
troubles started last month.
Other soldiers moved in force into
the northern mining districts, oust-
ing pckets from coal mine entrances
and railroad stations at Bethune
Valenciennes and Douai. Strone

gets into any difficulty or has trou-
BILE, then the Army works in detail
with the club until the difficulty
ceases TO exist This is being done
with hopes We can teach each indi-

STATES SAVE FOOD FOR EUROPE IDEA

limiting sale to brewers and dis
tillerS..
This program is in line with
the one announced by President
Truman except that it calls for
greater cooperation on the part
of the farmers.
More wheat is wasted on Ohio
farms through inefficient rodent
control than is wasted in town
dwellers' garbage pals, the COM
mittee reported. All farmers are
urged to tighten their barns and
launch campaign to kill rats.
Insects, especially the common
weevil, eat lots of grain that
could be used for human con-
sumption, according to the COM
mittee. Farmers are urged to take
effective control measures.
Union county farmers can also
save wheat by marketing lives
stock at lighter weights and by
feeding soft corn now. Dairymen
can save wheat by reducing the
amount of grain in dairy rations
and by feeding ensilage.
Housewives can save wheat by
keeping bread in an alright con-
tainer or the refrigerator. They
can use old bread, instead oi
throwing it away, in puddings
They can substitute potatoes OF
whole wheat bread for white
bread on their menus.

The aid of Union county farm
ers and housewives is being en-
listed this week to save wheat in

provide food for the starving
people of Europe.
A program for immediate ac-

culture and will reach all of
'Ohio's 88 counties including
Union county, through county

dean of the college. "and the cas-
lest food to ship. Here in Ohio it
is a major crop-49,000 600 bush
els this year. 1t is the Bunckeye

the starving people abroad"

8. Save wheat by eating less
bread and wasting none.
