Nazis Prepare
Malta Assault

i LONDON. Tuesday, Jan. . 13-
(yP)-The Daily Mail, in a dispatch
datelined Madrid, said Monday
reports - from Home indicated
; German shock troops would at
tack Malta within "ten days or

The dispatch, by Special Cor
respondent Harold Cardozo, said
German reinforcements had been

points from Brindisi to Syracuse,
'and that scores of coastal vessels
'were, carrying "vast quantities"
of ammunition and supplies for

"The assaul on Malta will be

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

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.
Crawford Monday sent letters
to the office production manage
ment officials expressing appreci
ation for the part they played in
the recent meetings,
