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.

F.D.R. 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.
