FELTON FDR Orders Price Meet President Personally Enters Fight to Get One-Ulan Farm Control (Continued from page 1) mention at that time, it was said, of a possible veto of the measure. The senate directed that ho price-fixing order on agricul tural commodities should be come effective until approved by the secretary of agriculture. Mr. Roosevelt had voiced op position to such a provision In letters to Senators Barkley (D Ky) and Brown (D-Mlch). Brown contended that various other limitations forced into the bill by the farm bloc would per mit food prices to rise 25 per cent above present levels. The president s call for a con ference went out to Reps. Stea gall (D-Ala), Williams (D-Mo), S pence (D-Ky), Wolcott (R- Mich) and Gilford (R-Mass). The senate conferees who will meet with this group later, prob ably Wednesday, are Senators Barkley, the democratic leader, Brown, Glass (D-Va), Bankhead (D-Ala), Taft (R-Ohio) and Dan aher (R-Conn). Before Mr. Roosevelt's opposi tion was made known, Secretary of Agriculture Wickard had asked senators for a voice in fixing of prices of farm products. Monday, he emphasised that ho was not opposing the presi dent. 'Whatever the president wants Is what I'm for," Wick ard said. Explaining why he made his original request, he said he felt it- was his responsibility to see that needed foods and fibers were produced, and department experts were in the best position to say what prices should be set to stimulate farmers to produce them in desired quantities. Besides the dual control over farm prices, the chief differences in the senate 'and house measures lie in various farm amendments tacked on in the senate. Both houses approved sections providing that no farm prices be fixed lower than 110 per cent of parity, below the 1919-29 average price of the commodity, or lower than the price on last October 1. The senate added the date of December 15 to the latter provi sion. Rumors of US Savings Grab Brings Denial WASHINGTON, Jan.

A storm broke In the early evening, blanketing the island un der dark rain clouds and ending the menace of Japanese raids. Losses were found to be negligi ble. Preliminary reports said there had been two casualties, a few rubber trees were uprooted and a few native huts battered. Most of Singapore's residents were unaware of the drama fought high In the clouds but occasional bursts of machine- gun fire were heard high above, prompting many to move into shelters.

Tuesday Morning, Januarr 13, 1212 Production Facilities Board Planned Following 0PM Meets Creation of a number of local production facilities commit tees, to cooperate with office management, production manage ment officials and other federal agencies, may be expected as a result of a series of meetings held last week, W. H. Crawford, di rector of the Oregon economic council, declared here Monday. The meetings were attended by a large number of small indus trialists and office production of ficials. The- latter officials stressed the demand for defense materials and explained how the small in dustrialist should proceed in ob taining a share of these contracts. Crawford said the . attendance at the meetings was larger than he had anticipated. Creation of local production facilities committees would be followed by a larger organisa tion representative on virtually all of western Oregon. Craw ford said it was the desire of the government to utilize all small industries capable ot pro ducing war materials. Other similar meetings will be held later in eastern Oregon and in some of the larger industrial centers .where labor displace ment is the most serious.
