-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 .
By OPA Order
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24 (ff)
A slight reduction in the next
sugar ration will entitle each
person to five pounds for the
11-week period beginning March
18. This compares with the for
mer basic ration of one-half
pound per person per week.
Stamp No. 11, good for three
pounds, becomes invalid March
15. '
In establishing the five-pound
ration for stamp 12, OPA said
the larger package would save
manpower and require less handling.

Schools Will Take Active
Part in. March Bond Drive
The month of March will be
observed as "Schools at War"
month, according to Andrew
Collier, chairman of Klamath
county war savings committee.
All schools in both the city and
county will have special mate
rials sent to them and will lay
plans for helping in the sale of
stamps and bonds.
The Klamath Knights organ
iration of Klamath Union high
school, handling the sale of war
bonds and stamps in a capable
manner, will join hands with
labor during March and April
and will embark on an inten
sive campaign culminating in
the election of a "Klamath High
Sweetheart."
The sweetheart will be given
a free trip to Portland by or
ganized labor, In charge of the
March-April campaign, whose
goal is to raise a half-million
dollars to buy a sub-chaser for
Uncle Sam's navy.
Choice of the sweetheart will
result from a competitive sale
of stamps and bonds. For ex
ample, ns Collier explained, a
25-cent stamp will bring in one
vote, a $25 bond, 75 votes.
"The Knights have done a
wonderful job at the high
school," Collier said. "They have
sold about $5000 worth of
stamps and bonds."

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.
"Wo left thorn there that's
tha best thing, ami all sailors
want to be burled at sea any
way. . . .-
