Between bites the two discussed something very important to the people of the Pacific northwest the appointment of an admin istrator for all of the power generated by the government projects at Grand Coulee and Bonneville. It was, they believed a compromise which would meet with approval of the various factions in Washington, Oregon and Idaho who are at logger heads; appease the advocates of "home rule" as well as the free-power-for-nothing group. As Secretary Ickes walked In for his lunch and conference, Oregon's Senator McNary walk ed out with a commission from the president to see Washing ton's Senator Bone and learn whether the compromise would be satisfactory to that legislator. The Washington legislator, who lias m power nuinoruy qui oi nis own, left Walter Reed, hospital last week and as soon as able will return to his office on the floor of the senate.

Med CHIEF EXECUTIVE Main British Offensive In Libya RUSSIANS RETAKE SOUNDS WARNING tpi ROSTOV ATMDMTODNK r "vZ Belated Thanksgiving Din ner Occasion To Review Nation's Danger. Warm Springs, Ga., Nov. 29. (IP) President Roosevelt said to night it was always possible that "our boys in the military and naval academies may be fighting for the defense of American in stitutions" by next Thanksgiv ing. Then he conferred with Secretary Hull by telephone, and considered rushing back to Washington because of the latest turn in the Japanese situation. Mr. Roosevelt made his omin ous statement about the possi bility of fighting at a dinner at the Warm Springs Foundation for Infantile paralysis victims. Returning to the "little white house" on Pine mountain, he found a call from Hull awaiting him, and reached the opinion that he might have to leave here tomorrow afternoon, and arrive in Washington Monday morn ing, In view of a statement by Japanese Premier Hideki Tojo. He spoke of people in other lands overrun or attacked and those even in countries which are attacking. Then he added solemnly: "I think we can offer up a little silent prayer that these people will be able to hold next year a thanksgiving more like an American thanksgiving. That la something to dream about, perhaps." "In days like these, our thanksgiving next year may re mind us of a peaceful past; it is always possible that our boys in the military and naval acade mies may be fighting for the de fense of these American institu tions of ours." The president, who twice post poned trips to Warm Springs, where he had planned to observe Thanksgiving, said he could not help thinking of those things and the dangers overhanging the country while he was in Washington contemplating his Journey a week and a half ago. And he said he might have to go back tomorrow or the next day, but he did not know. Whimsically, the chief execu tive noted that he had been un able to be present here either on the Thanksgiving date he pro claimed or on the traditional date a week later. Tonight's dinner was something of a "third Thanksgiving dinner" for him. And, he said, this was a year for thanksgiving especially be cause the people in the Warm Springs dining room, in the com munity, the state and the United States were in a very unique position today.' The United States Is one of the largest na tions In the world, Mr. Roose velt remarked, and nearly all the other large nations are in volved in a war of some kind or normal lives within them are al most completely blotted out or controlled by dictator. Leading up to his remark that men from the military and naval academies might be fight ing for defense in a year, the president said he had . listened to broadcasts of two football games this afternoon, between Georgia and Georgia Tech at At lanta and the Army and Navy at Philadelphia. They were great games, run in the spirit of peace," he said. "And the right kind of national spirit of peace is necessary for the right conduct of either the Georgia .game or the Army-Navy game.

Washington, Nor. 29. (IP) Senator McNary (R., Ore.) call ed the 'administration's price control bill "toothless and tim orous" today as indications multiplied that bi-partisan ef forts would be made in the senate to rewrite the much amended measure passed by the house yesterday. Joining with McNary, the minority leader, in criticism of the bill. Senator George (D., Ga.) said that if there was to be effective control of prices the senate would have to write a much more drastic measure than that approved by the house. ' "I am afraid the measure passed by the house is toothless and timorous," McNary contin ued. "I am certain no price fix ing bill will be effective until we remove flagrant waste in defense exDendltures, decrease non-defense expenditures and Improve the pattern of our de fense and domestic program.. '. "The senate Is charged with the duty of passing more ef fective measure, one at least that has some practical means of enforcement and that has re gard for the neglected and often forgotten eonsumer." McNary Indicated his objec tions to the measure centered on the elimination by the house of proposed licensing provisions by which price orders would be enforced. However, senator Taft (R., Ohio) said he was glad to see that the house had not given the price administrator power to take away summar ily the right of a merchant to do business because he might have violated price order. The house approved measure provided no control over wages, but Senator George said it was his belief that all factors of cost. Including wages, . ought to be taken into consideration in any price fixing orders that were issued. PEOPLE BACK OF FOREIGN POLICY Washington, Nov. 29.
