ROSEBURG NEWS-REviEW, ROSEBURG', OREGON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1941'. Farm Aid In ! Smashing Of Hitler Urged Allied Nations Require U. S. Material, Not Men, Wickard Tells Grangers WORCESTER. Mass., Nov. 13 .f APISecretary of Agriculture Wickard declared today that the "adequate defense of America means nothinn less than the de feat of Hitler." Therefore, he told the nation's farmers, they must run the risks of overproduction In the Interests of national defense. The cahlnet member also serv ed notice that the United Stales was ready to show Its "force" In both oceans, If necessary, should the country's Interests be men aced. In an address prepared for the 75th anniversary meeting of the national erance, Wickard said that Hitler "can be defeated only by n superior force of materials and men. The men are tnere to day, In Russia, in China, In Enu land. Our greatest need is to get materials to these men and get them there fast enough. If our production is "too little and too late' it may be too late for us to hope for freedom in our generation. The United Slates, he went on, desires peace "but not at the price of slavery." Farm Problem Unsolved Grange leaders, asserting that Improved prices had not solved the farm problem, called lor leg lslutlon which would offer farm ors "something better and more respectable than government gratuities and subsidies. Louis J. Taher, master, told the convention, that when the war ends "agriculture will face great er losses than those following the last war unless In the meantime wo take steps to correct some of the basic causes affecting agricul tural Income." "Today, prices of most farm commodities are approaching parity, but this is due to war con ditions, i Tills Increase In farm prices must not give us n false sense of security," he said. Taher suggested a "two-price" syslom under which farmers would be free to produce abun dantly and sell to the domestic mnrket at "parity-protected" pric es and abroad at competitive world prices. U. S. Food Pours Into Britain But Still Short of Needs WASHINGTON, Nov. 13 (API Some '.'50,000 tons of American food are reaching Eng land each month now. but even so Secretary Agriculture Wick ard said today that an average American could consume an Eng lishman's weekly ration of fresh meat, bacon, ham. eggs and cheese at one meal "without feel ing he's overeaten.'' . Agriculture department of ficials said that English house wives can buy all the flour they need and that England was pro ducing all I he potatoes and most of the vegetables required, hut they addeil "It was this country's job to produce the meal, eggs, and dairy products required for ship ment abroad under a SI .000.000, 000 fund ear-marked for food un der the r-.'cnnd lease-lend fund. While officials here discussed what they said were "mistaken" Ideas in this countrv concerning British food supplies. Wickard told a national grange session at Worcester. Mass., that in spite of American shipments the "lirilish still are on very strict rations of most vital foods." Department officials who have been In England in recent months listed these diet limits for an in dividual: cheese, 3 ounces a week: meal, 7 ounces a week: bacon and bam. l ounces a week; eggs. 2 a month when available. They explained that English people formerly obtained a large part of these supplies from Hol land and Denmark, sources now cut off hv German conquests. England still gets meat from Ar gentina and Canada was said lo lie supplying large amounts of meat and dairy products. force to keep open all news channels." John J. Moran, president of the Independent Federation of Long Lines Telephone Workers, said 'the decision to call a walkout of 15,000 workers followed a meet ing with the U. S. conciliation ser vice and representatives of the American Telephone and Tele graph company to discuss the. union's demands for a 4 per cent wage boost and narrowing of geo graphical differentials In pay.

Roosevelt Calls Parley White house action of some sort appeared certain in the soft coal dispute. Involving the CIO United Mine Workers' demand for a union shop in the captive coal pits operated by the steel companies. President Roosevelt invited I'MW president John L. Lewis, CIO chief Philip Murray, UMW secretary-treasurer Thom as Kennedy, and the heads of three large steel companies to confer with him tomorrow. Murray and Kennedy resigned Tuesday from the defense media tion hoard, in protest to that group's H-to-2 recommendation against the UMW's demand for the union shop In captive mines. There was no Indication of what action Mr. Roosevelt had In mind, hut the conference was called for the very day that Lew is summoned the UMW policy committee to a special meeting, presumably for a decision on union action In view of the media tion hoard recommendation. The UMW so far has shown no sign of giving up lis demand for a union shop clause in the cap tive mines a provision which would renuire every miner to join the union after a probation- uy period of employment. Tank Production Halted Carl Poktorich, president of the CTOUnitcd Auto Workers ol America local at New Brunswick, N. J., asserted yesterday a strike had "shut down completely" the Mack Manufacturing corporation plant, where 2,000 were employ ed on $10,1100,000 worth of army tank transmissions.

While saying that "we have enough votes," Speaker Ravburn declined to estimate specifically what the margin would be. House Tension Mounts. Despite disaffeclions from nd ministration ranks, the house heard a bi-partisan appeal today for revision of the neutrality act, with representative Woodrum (D Va.) asserting that "we are silting on a keg of dynamite and yet we quibble." Amid mounting tension ns the voting hour approached, Speaker Ravburn predicted the chamber would give a majority to the senate-approved measure permitting American merchant vessels to carry arms and sail anywhere in Ihe world. Woodrum. who left a hospital bed to attend today's momentous session, referred pointedly to southern democrats who announc ed yesterday Ihey would oppose Ihe legislation because the ad ministration had failed to take "slrong action" to curb defense strikes. Such a viewpoint, Wood rum declared, represented a desire lo "spank" President Roosevelt for something he had or had not done. The Virginian asserted that de feat of the legislation would make the nation's highest leaders "heavy-hearted," and added that it would be (he occasion for "ex- Ira" editions or ucrnn papers. Opponents Also Heard. Two more republicans who vot ed for the arming of American merchant ships took the floor and announced they would vote against the changes made In that measure by the senate to allow the ships to enter belligerent ports. They were the veteran Representative Treadway (R., Mass.) and Representative Can field (R., N. J.) Asserting passage of the broad ened measure would give the "green light" to all-out war, Can field said that when he served in the World war ,a favorite expres sion of the soldiers was "don't kid the troops." "I say to vou," he added, speak ing directly to the democratic membership, "don't kid America." Broken Neck Ends Life Of Football Player PORTSMOUTH, Va., Nov. 13.
