SIX ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURC, 0RE50N, TUESDAY, MARCH 10, 1942. Roosevelt Sees Inflation Danger In Rising Prices WASHINGTON, Mar. 10-1 AP) - Administration loaders In tlio house pointed today to a sober warning by President Roosevelt against Inflation and profiteering as one good reason why the farm bloc should agree to abandon farm price restrictions In an ag ricultural appropriation bill. The president, In broadcasting a message last night on the ninth anniversary of the national farm program, made no direct refer ence to the current effort of farm state legislators to bar the sale of government-held farm surpluses at sub-parity prices. "But If all prices keep on going up," he emphasized, "we shall have Inflation of a very danger ous kind we shall have such a steep rise In prices and the cost of living that the entire nation will be hurt. "That would greatly increase the cost of the war and the na tional debt, hamper the drive for victory, and Inevitably plunge ev eryone city workers and farm ers alike Into ruinous deflation latw on." Says Food Costs Would Rise, r Mr. Roosevelt has been out spoken In his objections to the surplus alparlty restriction de manded by the farm bloc. He declared recently that such a concession would raise the na tion's eating bill by a billion dol lars a year. Ills leader on the house floor, Ropresentatlvs Mc- Cormack of Massachusetts, uri nounced he would try to eliminate the restriction tomorrow, when debate on the bill will be resumed (Parity prices are computed levels at which farmers real in come, In terms of non-farm pro ducts, would equal their income In 190914.) The fight against inflation, the chief executive declared In his broadcast, is as vital as any fought with bullets and bombs. House Rejects Two Plans. After tentatively approving a $1,000 top on soil conservation payments to individuals, the house .refused yesterday to limit parity payments to farmers and to de duct from them soil conservation benefits. Amendments (o the agriculture appropriation bill by Representa tive Tabcr to limit the authoriza tion for parity payments commit ments to $212,000,000 and to de duct conservation payments in computing parity payments were rejected, 74 to 37 and 83 to 64. Opponents of the Taber proposals termed them the opening wedge In a movement to eventually ! eliminate parity payments com- pletely and criticized economy advocates for singling out farm- icrs. ' The present limit on soil con .sorvation payments is $10,000. Representative Johnson (D., Okl.) sponsor of the amendment reduc ing the amount, said It would re sult In savings of approximately $50,000,000 annually which would "build a lot of bombers." The house agreed to permit sales of deteriorated grains for use as feed and in the manufac ture of alcohol at below parity prices. Carrie L Chambers Dies in Roseburg Carrie L.

Threat of India Revolt Adds to Britain's Worry 'Continued from page 1) which might be continuing. Aneta, the Dutch news agency, said N. E. I. officials were work ing out plans for continuing the struggle against Japan from out side the overrun Indies and de clared "new machinery" for that purpose would soon be set up In "certain parts of the world.' Australian planes kept sharp watch for the expected approach of a Japanese Invasion Armada toward Australia from New Guinea, where the enemy had al ready established three beach heads on the Australian-mandated island. Sea borne Japanese forces made a third landing on New Guinea today, and enemy bombers blast ed anew at Port Moresby, New Guinea, only 280 miles from the Australian mainland. It was the tenth attack there. Jap Cruiser Shells Cebu. In the Philippines, Japan's as signment of her most successful army commander to lead the cam paign against General Douglas MacArthur's heroic defenders in dicated that a supreme attempt was forthcoming to wipe out American-Filipino resistance on Iiataan peninsula. A Japanese light cruiser shelled the port o Cebu on the Island of the same name in the central Phlllpnlnes, the war department at Wuihlngton reported today, but only slight damage was in dieted on the city. Burma Warfare Kept Up. British military quarters virtu ally conceded the loss of the en tire southern tip of Burma from Rangoon to the bay of Gengal, but declared that British Imperial troops would fight on in central Burma "side by side with our Chinese allies." British forces isolated in the Pegu sector, 40 miles north of Rangoon, were reported slashing their way through Japanese lines to the main Imperial army, which, In turn, drove through enemy col umns astride the Rangoon-Promo road after "heavy fighting." Promo lies 90 miles northwest of Rangoon. British withdrawal from all of southern Burma was indicated as British demolition squads wreck ed public utilities at Basscln, key city of the Irrawaddy river delta, 90 miles west of Rangoon, and American engineers also prepared to smash the great Irrawaddy oil fields 300 miles northwest of Ran goon.

THAW, MUD MAY UPSET HITLER'S SPRING PLANS LONDON, Mar. 10 (AP) Russia's vast battlegrounds of snow and ice were yielding slow ly to the spring thaw and mud today, and the clogging communi cations made It douiilful whether Hitler's armies could launch his promised offensive before the end of April or May. A Swedish correspondent wrote from Berlin that the thaws were giving the "Germans a foretaste of what it will be like when all the greats snows which have massed during the severest win ter in nearly 100 years begin to melt. 'The German spring offensive will not be able to be launched before the end of April or May or pcrhapt the beginning of June, but isolated attacks where the ground has dried may occur earli- the Swedish reporter said. Maneuvers Prevented Thaws already have prevented wldescale troop movements in some sectors, and fresh snow storms were reported to have brought a virtual - standstill to the Kerch pcnnisula and Donets basin where previously the ice had started to crack. Hitler launched his initial at tack on Russia last June 22, and the German juggernaut rolled re lentlessly onward until the mud which preceded the frosts halted it. Then with the full onslaught of winter, the red army's un checked counterotfensive began. Substantial fresh Russian rein forcements were moved into the area southwest of Lake Union, where the German Kith army is trapped and other new armies were massed behind the frozen Kholm marshes. Smashes at the Leningrad siege lines were pressed hy the reels with growing fury.

Axis U-Boats Increase Their Caribbean Toll (Continued from page 1) hold accountable for the subma rine sinkings of two Brazilian ships, the Buarque and Olinda, both of which went down off the United States coast. An inquiry was announced al so over the torpedoing of a third Brazilian merchantman, the 878 ton Arabutan, which was lost Saturday afternoon with a coal cargo valued at $200,000.
