Turkey Given
Allied Pledges
London, Aug. 14 (U.R) Joint British-Russian
notes to Turkey, prom
ising to defend her from aggression
by any European power and to res
pect Turkish independence as well
as the status quo of the Dardan
ell -. were believed today to have
opened a period of Anglo-Russian
collaboration in the Near East.
One purpose of the notes, it was
believed, was to lessen Turkey's anx
iety over British and Russian pol
icy toward Iran (Persia). Represen
tations made to Iran last month by
Britain and Russia, protesting the
presence of some 2500 Germans in
Iran, some of them holding import
ant posts in the Iranian railways
and communications services, had
failed to achieve any results. It has
been reported that Britain and Rus
sia vere about to renew their de
mands that Iran rid Itself of Ger
man agents, and rumors that these
demands might lead to more drastic
action have disturbed Turkey, which
borders Iran and has a treaty with
ner.

Knudsen Says
Defense Peak
By July, 1942
New York, Aug. 13 W) Director
General William s. Knudsen of the
office of production management
predicted today that, If the nation's
defense program hit the half-way
mark by January 1, 1942, "we should
hit peak production by July and
after that, America can write Its
own ticket on war material."
And this ticket can, as far as I
am concerned, be twice what any
body else's ticket is," Knudsen add
ed. Greater speed In subcontracting
defense orders will be required to
accomplish the objective, he assert
ed, in an address prepared for de
livery before the New York division
of commerce production clinic.
Decentralize that procedure bus
iness and let each manufacturer
handle his Job and his business with
as little of I could almost say-
Washington as possible, and we will
get It done," the OPM chief declar
ed.
All we need Is the will to get
this job done and we have one great
advance nobody is going to bomb
us much while we are doing it. I
think it is too late for that. All we
need ... Is to get together stop
bickering over procedure."
Knudsen praised the work of the
defense contract service in attempt
ing to bring small manufacturers
into the defense program and cush
ion the shock of transition from
civilian to defense production.
To hasten the Job, he said, the
armed services must agree to accept
subcontracting as part of the pro
curement program and "it is only
fair to say that In the preliminary
conversations we have had. . . they
have shown themselves perfectly
willing to go as far as their powers
permit even to go further and ask
for legal powers if required."

Price Control
Needed to Stop
Washington, Aug. 13 (P) A ser
ies of legitimate demands for wage
Increases in many industries, will
be Inescapable, Leon Henderson told
congress today, unless the adminis
tration price control bill and other
regulatory measures are put Into
operation.
The head of the office of price
administration testified before the
house banking committee that the
question of future wage Increases
would depend on how quickly con
gress acts on the pending price con
trol blU.
"If we allow things to go on
as at present," he said, "I don't
believe we could escape a set of
legitimate demands by the first of
the year when many contracts ex
pire for wage Increases, based on
cost of living Increases.
It seems inescapable that you'd
have this kind of pressure, regard
less of whether it come from organ
ized or unorganized labor, federal
employes, school teachers, or what
have you."
Henderson was asked by Repre
sentative. Crawford (R-Mlch) whe
ther he "would go along" on i
price control system that would al
low farmers to make even more
than the 110 per cent of parity pro
vided for them in the bill so as
to help them, as Crawford put It,
recover the losses of tlie last ten
years. The witness replied:
"It's not the price administrator's
job to balance a scale of Justice
and equity. I don't think that's
the purpose of the legislation before
you. That is to prevent inflationary
tendencies."

charges of "consipring to fix the
price of ham at Easter time in vio
lation of the Sherman anit-trust
act."
It was the fourth and largest In
dictment returned here since a na
tion-wide inquiry into food prices
was begun eight months ago. Pre
viously 12 defendants were charged
with conspiracy to fix certain hog
prices; 12 others with conspiracy to
fix sheep prices and 69 with con
spiracy to fix the price of canned
peas.
The indictment today alleged that
a conspiracy in ham prices had ex
isted for the last five years; that
the meat packers named sold more
than 80 per cent of the hams in
the United States, and that they
had plants in some 30 states. Among
the 82 corporate defendants were
the American Meat institute and the
"big four" meat packers Cudahy,
Armour, Swift and Wilson.

Heretofore the public had asked
"Will we have war?" Now the ques

start?"
All are convinced war is coming.
Civilian defense forces are prepar

OK Increase in
FHA Insurance
Washington, Aug. 13 (Pf A sen
ate banking subcommittee today
aDDroved a $200,000,000 Increase in
FHA insurance for defense housing
after learning that more than $1300
new units were started last week,
Senator Taft (R Ohio), who voted
for the increase, said he thought
this was "utterly Inconsistent" with
administration proposals for a curb
on Installment buying of refrig
erators, stoves and other things that
go Into homes.
Abner H. Ferguson, federal hous
ing administrator, said new homes
did not have the "same inflationary"
effect as the buying of automobiles
and other goods, because homes
were an Investment while many of
the other articles were In the lux
ury class.
Charls F. Palmer, coordinator of
defense housing, testified that gov
ernment insurance of these mort
gages had "demonstrated how pri
vate enterprise" could aid the de
fense program. He said that 9630
houses already were underway and
that the original $100,000,000 of FHA
mortgage Insurance voted by con
gress in April for this purpose was
nearly exhausted by applications on
26,000 defense housing units.

that rail connections around .Len

places.
On Northern Front
In the Lake Ilman sector, below
Leningrad, DNB said nazl troops
encircled the 103rd Russian infan
try regiment and killed all but a
few wounded, who were taken pris

declaring there had been prodigious
losses on both sides, said that while
the Germans were seeking a bat
tle of annihilation it is not clear
yet who has been annihilated in
many of the large scale battles.
The spokesman said German
troops driving down the northeast
shore of Lake Ladoga from Finland
toward Leningrad had been halted,
in the last few days, and that on
the Estonia front, other German
forces were making some progress,
threatening the important Soviet
naval base at Tallinn.
He pictured Leningrad's defenses
as "too strong" to be taken and ex

mans were aiming primarily at the

Defense Board
Meets at Capital
Washington, Aug. 13 (F.i The eco
nomic defense board called today
lor reports from several government
agencies preparatory to Initiating
two international projects, the na
ture of which Vice President Wal
lace, board chairman, declined to
disclose.
Set up to coordinate economic
defense activities in the foreign
field, the board organized at a mass
meeting attended by secretaries of
war, navy, treasury, commerce, agri
culture and Francis Biddle, acting
attorney general, and Dean Acheson,
representing Secretary of State Hull,
Wallace told reporters the group's
discussion covered the field of In
ternational economic action, but de
clined to say what decisions had
been made.
"Tills is like a game of cards' he
said. "You don't show your hand
to the other fellow in advance."
Calling of the Initial session at a
time when President Roosevelt was
away from the capital caused wide
speculation. In creating the agency
by executive order three weeks ago,
the president said it would develop
and coordinate "policies, plans and
programs designed to protect and
strengthen the International econo
mic relations of the United States."
Hint Seizure
Of Martinique
Berlin, Aug. 13 (JP) Authorized
German sources charged today that
certain American groups which "for
a long time have cast covetous eyes
on Martinique," may seize upon
French Chief of State Pctain's
speech as an excuse to "satisfy their
lust" for that West Indian Island.
Marshal Petaln's speech Is consid
ered Important by the German for
eign office, it was said, mainly for
two reasons:
1. Because powerR outside the
continent "which desire to establish
guardianships over France were're
buffed." 2. Because Pctaln solidly allied
himself "with Europe and Its effort
to establish a new order."
Authorized German quarters de
clared they considered it a great
compliment that the British press
likened Petain and French Vice-Premier
Admiral Darlnn, respectively,
to the late German President Mar
shal von Hlndenburg and Adolf Hit
ler.
They ridiculed American editorial
commentators who, they said, wrote
'as though France ought to have
planted herself under United States
protection."
These German sources also said
that at the moment they could not
comment on British-Russian assur
ances that "we hear their words
but lack the faith to believe them."

packed galleries during the day long '
house debate. Scores of women
called members off the floor when
the amendment stage was reached
and besought them to vote this way

'What do you think of Roose
velt?'"
"'Why, he's doublecrossed us by
keeping us out of war.' "
Urges Revision
Of Profits Tax
Washington, Aug. 13 (VP) R. V.
Fletcher, general counsel of the As
sociation of American Railroads,
urged the senate finance committee
today to revise the house -approved
excess profits tax so as to make
invested capital the single standard
for computing the levy.
Under the $3,236,700,000 house rev
enue measure, corporations could
compute excess profits either on the
basis of Invested capital or on aver
age earnings during the period 1936
39, Inclusive. The treasury has
recommended the Invested capital
basis.
Fletcher testified that, under the
house measure, a corporation which
would pay no tax when excess pro
fits were computed on invested capi
tal still would be required to pay
10 per cent on profits In excess of
those for the 1936-39 base period.
Railroad profits during the base
period, Fletcher said, were "prac
tically zero." Dpclarlng that "the
railroads are making some money
now," he added that 1941 "probably
would be the best year since 1929."
Fletcher said he did not object
to the house-approved 5 per cent
tax on transportation tickets but
urged that commuters traveling dis
tances up to 60 miles be exempted.
The house approved a 30-mile ex
emption. Fletcher also asked that
soldiers in uniform be exempted
entirely.
