ROOSEVELT ASKS VAST INCREASE IN NAVY FUNDS Over 6 Billion More Wanted Record Omnibus Bill Receives Final Signature. Washington, Jan. JO President Roosevelt today asked congress to add $6,016 300,000 to the record-breaking navy ap propriation bill already passed by the house. . A senate appropriation! sub committee approved the new requests and the house-passed bill a few minutes later and the full appropriations commit tee will consider the record pending measure tomorrow. The president made the re quest a short time before sign ing a bill appropriating $12,- 855.000 000 including funds for 23,000 combat planes and 10,000 training planes for the army. The army air corps would get about $9,000,000,000. Largest Appropriation The measure, largest single appropriation ever passed by congress for one military arm. also carried $30,000,000 for con struction of the Douglas dam on the French Broad river In TV A territory. Later the house completed legislative action on two meas ure! authorizing $3,500,000 000 for naval expansion and sent them to the president for sign ing. They would authorize con struction of 1.799 minor combat, fatrol and auxiliary vessel! and expansion of existing shore fa cilitiea and construction of un designated new facilities. The new naval estimates were received by a senate appropria tions subcommittee after Chair man Overton (D La.) an nounced that he would try to put an additional $4,000,000,000 in the huge bill for additional naval aircraft. The committee also added a flat $300,000,000 for the navy to use for reservoirs of emer gency supplies, which with the presidential request pushed the total appropriation to $26,494, 363,474, compared with $19. 877,965,474 voted by the house. Mrs. Grigsby to Open Victory Beauty Saloi Mr!. Mabel Grigsby, formerly of the Craterian Beauty shop, an nounced today the opening on Feb. 2 of the "Victory" salon of beauty at 24 South Grape street. Mrs. Grigsby said experienced operators would be available, in eluding Mrs. Pearl Chord, for merly of Adrienne's, and Mrs. Alpha McClure. The salon will specialize in all types of beauty culture, the owner stated.

Signs Price Control With Critical References To Farm Price Provisions Washington, Jan. 30 UP) President Roosevelt in signing the price control bill today declared in a formal statement that it "does not mean that the battle against Inflation has been won," and expressed doubt as to the wisdom and ade quacy of certain sections. Amendments may become nec I essary later on, he added. Earlier at a press conference he praised all sections except those relating to farm prices, saying the provision permitting farm prices to rise to 110 per cent of parity before ceilings could be applied was not so good and tended to raise the cost of living. No Inflation Cure In his formal statement, the president declared that price control legislation alone "cannot successfully combat inflation. 'To do that," he asserted, 'an adequate tax and fiscal pro gram, a broad savings program, a sound production program and an effective priorities and rating program are all needed "Finally, all bulwarks agalns inflation must fail, unless all of us, the business man, the worker, the farmer, and the consumer are determined to make those bulwarks hold fast In the last analysis, as Woodrow Wilson said, 'the best form of efficiency is the spontaneous cooperation of a free people, Mr.. Roosevelt described the new act as "an important weap on in our armory against the onslaught of the axis powers." The total effort needed for vie t ry, he added, meant increasing sacrifices as an ever larger por tion of goods and labor Is de voted to producing ships, tanks, planes and guns, and said: "Effective price control will insure that these sacrifices are equitably distributed.1 Leon Henderson, the price administrator, sat behind the president and when Mr. Roose velt was asked who would be appointed administrator under the bill, he tossed his head at Henderson and replied In Latin. ecce homo, or this man. Few Hit Collins Few farm products have reached price ceilings of 110 per cent of parity authorized bv the law. An agriculture department report on prices received by larmers in mid-Januarv indi cated that only rice, beef cattle, veal calves, wool, and peanuts and soy beans for vegetable oil production, had reached the minimum celling level. The approximate minimum ceilings and the January 15 farm prices, respectively, of principal commodities included: Cotton 21.47 and 16.93 cents a pound; cotton seed $50.36 and $43.24 a ton; wheat $1.42 and $1.06 a bushel; corn $1.03 and 72.7 cents a bushel; oats 64 and 50 cents a bushel; barley 99.4 and 60.8 cent a bushel; rice $1,439 and $1,576 a bushel; rye $1,156 and 65 cents a bushel; flag seed, $2.71 and $1.95 a bushel; potatoes $1.24 and S7.6 cents a bushel; sweet potatoes, $1.41 and 93 cents a bushel. Hays $19.06 and $10.15 a ton: apples $1.54 and $1.18 a bushel; hogs $11.59 and $10.55 per hun dred pounds; beef cattle $9.38 and $9.77 per hundred pounds; veal calves $11.22 and $12.14 per hundred pounds; lambs $11.12 and $10.30 per hundred pounds; butterfat 44.5 and 36.3 cent! a pound; eggs 32.7 and 31.3 cents a dozen; wool, 37.1 and 37.2 cents a pound: sov beans $1.53 and $1.63 a bushel; peanuts, bpanish type, for oil, $77 and $82 a ton; chickens, 21 and 17 cents a pound. Nothing Radical Office of Price Admlnlstra- tion officials said "nothing sweeping or radical" In the way of the new price ceilings need be expected Immediately. jne etieci on tne consumer will be negligible for the time being, they said, except insofar as the new enforcement powers vested in Price Administrator Leon Henderson may have the psychological effect of dissuad ing producers and dealers from edging prices up. No new food price ceilings are imminent; no spurt of price fixing activity is contemplated. and no wholesale dive Into the retail price field need be look ed for, Henderson aides asserted. For the time being the prin cipal Job of OPA executives will be that of converting the exist ing price schedules covering 78 commodities, mostly raw ma terinls which are enforced by what Henderson calls Jawbone authority, into full-dress price regulation enforceable by law. 8KI RACES OFF Spokane, Jan. 30.
