their forces, who against seem
ingly hopeless odds did. with
magnificent courage attack and

possible.''
What "later successes" he re
ferred to, whether they have al-
ready been won or are even now
in the making, was not disclosed
here.
The Vandergrift message, cou-
pled with previous reports,1
, showed that at least five admirals
. were in the battle area, and pro
bably in the action itself. Rear
. Adm. Norman Scott, like Callag
han, was killed in. action. The
other two mentioned by Vander
grift were identified by the navy
as Willis August Lee of Owen
ton. Ky- and Thomas C. Kincaid,
of Philadelphia. The fifth rear
admiral was" Kelly Turner, who
commanded a task force which
took part in the battle.
-The ipresence of these high
ranking officers and "possibly of
others gave a clue to the size of
the American forces in the main
encounter of the Solomons which
was fought out in the early dark
ness of last Friday , (Guadalcanal

The fact that Rear Admiral
Scott had been killed was dis
closed by the nary Tuesday

of CapL .Cassia Young, captain
of the flanhio of Rear Admiral

Scott, 53, was from Kirk wood,
Mo., and Young, 48, had recently
made his home in Coronado,
Calif. Young held the medal of
honor for exceptional bravery at
Pearl Harbor, during the Japan
ese attack on December T. He
was blown off his ship by a ter
rific explosion in the burning
Battleship Arizona, tied up along
side, but swam back, climbed
aboard and moved his vessel out
of a sea of flaming oil to safety.

Grange Calls
Farm Parity
Plan Obsolete
(Continued from Page 1)
is prices for farm products that
are in line with the cost of pro
ducing them.
The parity formula to which the
grange objected uses prices farm
ers received and paid in the 1909
14 base period. Farm wages, the
grangers said, were not included
in computing farm costs, although
delegates said the cost of farm
labor had increased at least SO
per cent
Grangers said that since 1933
parity had been the goal of na
tional farm programs voted by
congress but that farm prices did
not reach an approximate, parity
until the middle of 1942.
As an illustration, of how price
levels of 30 years ago were obso-4
lete, Goss used grapefruit In the
1909-14 period, he said, grape
fruit sold for $10 a box. Under
the 'parity formula today the price
would be $17, but because thou
sands of orchards have been
planted and production stepped
up, prices have been lowered to
between $3 and $4 a box.
Tuesday night the grangers
adopted a taxation resolution stat
ing that the ability to pay, and
the value of benefits derived,
should be the basis for levying
taxes.

Filibuster

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17
Southern senators ! filibustered
Tuesday against the; anti-poll, tax
bill in a bitter senate session which
saw Senator McKellar (D-Tenn.)
withdraw his, recommendation
that Majority Leader Barkley be
appointed to the supreme court.
By a series of roll calls and otiv
er delaying tactics, including read
ing .and correcting the complete
journal of Monday's proceedings.
the southerners : for the fourth
consecutive legislative day pre
vented Barkley from brfngingjorr
mally before the senate the con
troversial bill which would elim
inate payment of a poll tax as a
voting prerequisite In eight south
ern states. - ;.
As the " filibuster continued,
President Philip Murray, '.of the
Congress of Industrial Organiza
tions,' sent a letter to members of
the senate that the nation "stands
aghast and enraged at the tactics
of a small bloc which is seeking
to frustrate majority rule in this
nation.' ' .-'-Mfc :-,y. :
He called for speedy enactment
of the anti-poll tax legislation, as
serting: ; - . : i '
"In this period of national cri
sis, the ; opening of our ' polling
places to every qualified : citizen
in the nation by the elimination of
poll tax restrictions which dis
enfranchise' large r numbers of
American citizens Is a measure
essential to our war; effort
McKellar bitterly assailed Bark
ley for moving Saturday that Mc
Kellar and seven other senators
be arrested and brought to the
chamber in order to obtain a quor
um "Which he could not do any
thing with when he got it"
McKellar told, too, that last
month he prepared a petition' to
President- Roosevelt, signed v by
several other senators, ; recom
mending Barkley'a appointment
to the supreme court to fill the va
cancy created by the resignation
of Associate Justice Byrnes.
He said he never dreamed that
"the man I had recommended so
highly would single me out as
one of eight senators to be arrest
ed.' The whole episode, he said,
was "a shocking performance.'
