WASHINGTON. Feb. 20. Wi Secretary of Agriculture Wickard tonight directed the rationing of dry edible beans, dried peas, len tils and dehydrated and dried soups along with the . processed and canned vegetables and fruits to be rationed beginning March 1. . These foods were added to the ration list, Wickard said, because of "extremely heavy demands by the American armed forces and the Russian army." Stocks Frozen Pending start of rationing, retail stocks of these commodities were frozen tonight They will not be available to consumers next week. Wickard, the food administrator, said supplies of beans, peas, len tils and dried soups had dwindled considerably In recent weeks be cause of short supplies of meats and other high protein foods. Con sumers turned. to these vegetables as meat substitutes. These commodities will be ra tioned under the new point-system ration books to be distributed next week. The point values will be determined by the office of price administration. The office of price adminis tration said that housewives would not be required to declaTe the amount of dried vegetables they have on hand at the time they make their declarations on the rationed canned goods. While not forecasting quantities which might be available under rationing, the secretary said per capita civilian supplies of these foods for the marketing year end ed next September 1, as com pared with supplies in the previ ous marketing year, were about as follows: Dried beans, 7. and 8.8 pounds; dried peas and lentils, 0.9 and 1.2 pounds; dehydrated, soups 0.3 and 0.3 pounds. ' Under Wickard's directive to the OPA, dried edible beans and peas of all classes and varieties will be rationed.

FDR Calls Senate"; Proposal 'Meddling' WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 UP) President Roosevelt told congress in strong language today that the proposal to require senate confir mation of all federal employes paid $4,500 or more a year amounts to meddling in matters reserved to the executive branch of the government - Furthermore, he said it Would hinder the war effort and he thought In that event "the Ameri can people will not fail to real ize that it Is" the legislative branch" doing so. But Senator McKellar (D. Tenn.), sponsor, of the proposal, was not Impressed, nor was Chair man Van Nuys (D.-Ind.) of the senate judiciary committee before which the measure Is pending. McKellar issued a statement re plying to the president's argu ments and Van Nuys labelled as "bosh" one of them that, too much of the senate's time would be consumed with confirmations. Van Nuys told reporters he was "100 per cent for the bill" and hoped It could be reported to the senate next Thursday. POONA, Feb. 20 (U.R) Mohan das K. Gandhi's condition has taken a turn for the worse at the halfway mark of his 21 day fast In protest against his Interment, and now Is grave, an official bul letin said tonight The 73 year old spiritual leader of millions of Indian nationalists was reported to be falling rapid ly, accentuating fear that he could not survive the self-imposed or deal. At the same time concern mounted over the possible reper cussions if he should die. His own privy council warned that in such an event the task of reconcilia tion between Britain and India would be "extremely difficult" Sir Tej Bahadur Sapru sounded the warning at a New Delhi con ference which adopted a' resolu tion calling for the release of Gandhi "In the Interests of the future of India and international good will." The government stood fast, however, implicitly rejecting the new demand in a reply by the secretary of the viceroy, the mar quess of Linlithgow, who said: "The viceroy has considered the resolution. The attitude of the government of India In the matter of Gandhi's fast was set out clear ly and detalledly in a communi que on Feb. 10. No new . factor has emerged since that date. Re sponsibility in connection with the last rests solely with Gandhi, with whom but not with the government the decision to bring ittoVan-end must rest" ' , Friends' of Gandhi said his con dition had , become "alarming," and only faith could pull him through the crisis. "I find him hardly able to talk," Devdas Gandhi, his youngest son, said. "I was hoping that the cit rus juice which he permitted him self to take with water would pull him through, but he only takes about two ounces of lemon juice In 24 hours, that being hard ly sufficient even to flavor his water."

SO (U.B Amer ican forces dug firmly into a new line In central Tunisia tonight despite two stiff German thrusts to drive them out, while the Brit ish Eighth army, squeezing the enemy from the south, swung Into position to flank the formidable Mareth line at either end. . Gen. Sir Harold R. L. G. Alex ander, who planned the Eighth army's brilliant campaign In which the Afrika Korps was chased across Africa, arrived In Tunisia to assume his new duties as Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's deputy In charge of Jand operations of allied forces. Allied headquarters announced that the Americans had abandoned their positions in the Ousseltia valley in a line-straightening op eration and had taken a new posi tion commanding that central Tunisian area. Line 'Softened' While the Americans took up their new positions, 200 miles to the southeast the British were softening up the outer defenses of the Mareth line with their big guns and consolidated positions at both ends of the French-built for tifications. , - They were reported to have cap tured Djerka island, on the line's northern flank and only five minutes' flying time from the Axis-held port of Gabes. On the southern flank, they were In firm possession of Foum Tatahouine, captured two days ago. The middle eastern command said Eighth army forces were "In contact" with the Axis around Medinine, "Verdun of the Mar eth line" guarding Its outer de fenses midway along the fortifi cations. A communique said British artillery was duelling with the Germans in that area. North of Foum Tatahouine, British pat rols also had contacted the Afrika Korps, It announced. Two German attacks, evidently designed to test the strength of the Americans after their retreat of last week, were repelled with the aid of strong British forces. African dispatches said the Americans had completely res tored their position northwest of Kasserine, less than 20 miles from the Algerian border, Thursday night after the Germans, with tanks and artillery, had achieved some infiltrations. Allied headquarters reports said the American abandonment of the Ousseltia valley was inevitable after the loss of the semi-desert plain to the south earlied this week. The Americans now com mand the valley while the Brit ish hold the gap south of It The guardsmen Intercepted a strong German patrol, equipped with motorized Infantry and tanks and .knocked out six tanks and six self-propelled guns.

The New York sources have pre dicted that the French squadron at Alexandria will come over to the allies, joining the sizeable fleet of fighting ships already flying the French banner of Gen. Henri Giraud. Some reports have hint ed that the ships at Alexandria, commanded by Admiral ' Rene Coderoy, already may have left port enroute to allied naval cases for repair and refitting. Newspaper correspondents at Alexandria have been permitted by the censorship to advise their home offices that theytiave not been permitted to transmit dis patches concerning the French ships there for many days. The transfer of Godroy's squad ron, Including the 22,189-ton bat tleship Lorraine, three heavy and one light cruiser, two destroyers, two submarines and auxiliary craft, to the allies was first Inti mated In New York by Vice Ad miral Raymond Fenard, heading Giraud's naval mission to the United States. At a press conference at which he announced the arrival, of the 35,000-ton battleship. Richelieu, one cruiser and two destroyers In U. S. Atlantic ports from Dakar, Fenard included Godfroy's squad ron in his summry of at least 48 ships soon to be fighting with the allies or awaiting berths in allied ports for repairs. . Fenard did not say when the ships at Alexandria would leave that port, but he left no doubt that Godfrey would transfer his fleet , . , Cooking Fat Collection Falls Below Quota SALEM, Feb. 20 Wl Oregon housewives must redouble their efforts to attain the goal of 2, 840,000 pounds of cooking fats to be collected this year, the state salvage committee said today.

UP) President Roosevelt in a letter published tonight by the Post- Dispatch, said "we have now turn ed the corner In the - war" and "there Is an important job of edu calon to b done so that the tragedy or war will not come again. The letter commended the news paper on the occasion of its start ing a series of articles on "Wh are we fighting for." The arti cles are designed to encourage and clarify public thinking about the post-war world. "There cannot be too much dls cussion of this kind, and there could not be a better' time for It," Mr. Roosevelt wrote.
