: Jones Assures
-Adequate Price
For Farmers -
WASHINGTON, Oct 0. - (7 -'
War ; Food Administrator Marvin
Jones assured congress today the
- cation's farmers will set a "fair
. aad adequate price4 for producing
the greatest food supply in history
, next year.
Jones laid his food program be-
1 fore the house agriculture commit
tee and sat through hours of ques
tions on what the crop goals will
mean to farm pocketbooks. Prices,
- he said, wiU be controlled by the
president's hold - the - line order,
and the administration's ability to
support farm prices - through the
Commodity Credit corporation. I
"If the Commodity Credit cor--poration
is given adequate funds,"
- asked EP- Zimmerman4 (D-Mo)
"Do-: you assure this -.. committee
youll - do your best to see that
: farmers get a fair price as an in
centive to produce all the ! food
that is needed?" - . . f
-1 certainly do," Jones replied.-,
r While Jones was outlining his
. nrohlmi . before the .sericulture
committee, the house banking
committee struggled with the task
4 of shaping Commodity Credit cor
poration legislation in a form ac
ceptable to both congress and, the
i administration. It heard:
. 1. Rep. Crawford (R-Mich) de-1
mand an accounting of the loss and
spoilage in the huge stockpiles. of
government 1 held CrODS. Canned
goods and meats. : '., -J
2. J. B. Hutson, chief of the CCC,
report that all commodities now
are selling ' above parity except
barley, wheat, rye, cow peas, cot
ton, hay, peanuts and lemons.
3. Charles Wilson of the Na
tional Cooperative Milk Producers
federation assert in opposition to
subsidies that," unless, the" price of
; dairy products' is increased, "We
; may . wind up' with terribly . , de
creased production whoUy inade
. quate for civilian needs.
" .V 4. Rep. Monroney. (D-6kla) ar
gue that ah increase in the price of
dairy products would mean an in
crease in the price of corn, and in
turn to other, price ; boosts, thus
breaking the "hold-the-line pro
, gram. ..
i , Jones told the agriculture com
mittee's next year's, crop goals
still tentative call for the great
est food producing program in the
nation's history, with 380,000,000
acres planted.
" Committeemen countered Jones
. statement that present farm prices
generally were above' parity with
tht assertion parity - prices now
used do not take into account the
skyrocketed cost of . farm labor.
The war food administrator as
sured them, however, that "AU es
sential elements" will be consid
ered in calculating future farm
prices.'- V " ';'

The allied - swincine-eate at
tack in Italy gained another
.. nortant stride toward Rome
when the 5 th. army crossed the
Volturno, north of Naples. There
. is no obviously strong, natural
defense position b e 1 o w the
Rome-Chieti highway for a new
nazi delaying stand, and 8 th ar
my ; pressure ,"f up . the . Adriatic
' coast is already threatening the
Chietl anchor of that line.
;The - allied i crossing " of ... the
" Volturno means, deployment in
to the plains of. Volturno along
t the coast and access' to the. two
'-. main highways to Rome - from
Naples. They fork just beyond
the main Volturno road crossing
at Capua. The west branch, an
cient Via Appia of classical
' times modernized for modern
. motor traffic, runs up the coast
al, flank' of Mount Lepini
through the once dreaded Pon-
f tine marshes.' The .' east .-. fork
passes "inshore "of the Lepini
1 hump up the valley of -the Sac-
co. These two roads and the Chi
etl trans-peninsular highway, to-
ward ; which - the ' 8th army Is
"surging, are the main road con
nections South f and east from
necuons souin ana eas irom
Rome and -necessarily rnust
largely groove, the allied attack.
It seems obvious that it was
i the" fast-paced" 8th 'army i leap-
f r o e advance on the Adriatic
I L flank of the allied line that fore-1
j d nazi retreat from the Voltur-1

t ation of Naples.' That is the gen-
! his of the allied battle plan in8 10 mwan . me escape or wo
Italy as it has yet ' unfolded.
With the 5th army at the hinge,
the 8th army is the swinging
f gate that constantly threatens to
trap a considerable enemy force
i unless : the nazis keep retreat-
iing.
The ' report of heavy nazi-:
'British fighting along the Bifer-
no river fails to . indicate defi
nitely the scene of this action.
It seems likely, however, that it
is alone the unrter river. If so It
indicates that the 8th army has
made a sham advance alone its
center and left flank as well as
alone the coast
That implies that an 8th army
swing directly toward Rome via
the Rom-Foreia hirhwa v. th-
rnilrmam nuH svaHaM tnr th I
purpose, - is developing. It Is
dear that any substantial fur-
ther British advance above the!
Biferno must threaten the nazi I
right flank before the 5th army I
with entrapment To prevent
that, nazi reinforcements , must I
have been thrown in against I
the 8th army on the Biferno to
hold until the -escape from the j
Volturno could be carried out I
The allied swinging-gate tech-1
nique has again proved success-1

In an interview today review
ing the first two-and-a.-half
months 'of activity of the B26s in

that the nazis already, had been
forced to evacuate a large num
ber of key fighter .bases in "westr
era France, "and that service had
been, disrupted at m a n y. others
serving- as main springboards for
defense : -against allied - heavy
bombers. j
While the exact . number ' of
fields knocked . out of operation
