PAGE TWO HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALIfl, OREGON Fuhrunry 24. 1948 HARD ASKS GO-AHON -FARM PROGRAM WASHINGTON, Feb. 24 (Pi Secretary of Agriculture Wick ard asked congress today for a "clear mandate Immediately" to proceed with his announced 1943 farm production program along lines Intended to raise farm in come without raising prices to consumers. That program, which had evoked sharp criticism from members of the congressional farm bloc, was outlined before the house agriculture committee today. No Price Increase "1 take it for granted," the food administrator said, "that al most everyone feels that in creased costs to farmers neces sitate increased returns on many agricultural commodities during 1943. "Now I want to state frankly that one way to enable farmers to receive the returns necessary to cover their costs would be by increasing prices. I do not be lieve, however, all things con sidered, that this is the prefer able way. Three Ways "Substantial increases in form prices would inevitably lead to increases In prices and costs all along the line, and might result In an inflation, which, in the long run, would be even more ruinous , to farmer than to others." The "secretary said that there are other ways of giving farmers Increased returns. He outlined them as follows; (1) Government support of prices of all farm products need ed in the war effort (2) A government offer to pur chase certain products such as soy beans, peanuts, flax seed, canned vegetables, sugar beets, and perhaps others and resell them to processors and distri butors at prices in line with OPA price ceilings. (3) An offer to farmers of In centive payments on needed war crops in order to enable the pro ducers to meet increased costs without raising consumer prices. Wickard has not been able to proceed with the incentive pay ment part of his program be cause congress has refused so far to a p p rp p r 1 a t e $100,000,000 sought for such payments. Farm state congressmen have also criticized the idea of government purchase of farm commodities and resale at lower prices. Value of Sugar Stamp 12 Changed .

TORPEDOING CLEVELAND, Feb. 24 OP) Many persons who escaped to lifeboats in one of tho torpedo- sinkings of two passenger-cargo ships which left 850 "known dead or missing" In the North Atlantic early this month were found frozen to death tho next morning, Robert Wciknrt, 20 year-old navy signalman, said Tuesday. "We got word that a ship had been sunk during the night," said Weikart. "I was up on the signal tower when we reached the spot, just as dawn lighted the scene. Sub Moves Off "Life boats full of men swirled about us, and we saw hundreds of bodies in tho water. It took me a while to figure out why we didn't stop to pick any of them up they were frozen to death at the oars of their lifeboats. "I can't say how long they'd been in the icy water. But as we came up, a big sub began to move off, fast. It was trav eling all right, because it got away from us when we gave chase. Home To Rest 'The attack must have been a complete surprise, for by that time it was light enough to see that many of them hadn't even had time to dress. They jumped into their boats with their life jackets, if they had time to grab them. Weikart, here on leave, said "I carno homo to rest. I don't want to talk about it, but I'll never forget it. He tried to count the, bodies as ho saw them in tho wintry sea, but gave up when tho num bers got too high.
