make such equipment, he said,
but alio an effort will be made
to obtain more adequate distrl,
button facilities for the (mailer
plant. Previously, the big man
ufncturcra had been converted to
war production and had stopped
making arm machinery.
The president released today
the executive order setting up
the new office of food produc
tion and distribution, of which
Davis will take charge of Mon
day. Davis will cooperate with
Agriculture Secretary Wickard,
Mr. Roosevelt said but In final
decisions, Davis would come to
him. This will remove nearly all
phases of the wartime food pro
gram from wickard i control
and leave him to handle the old
line bureaus of the agriculture
department.
Price Authority
To make clear another point,
the president said Davis also
would have authority over farm
prices. '
This authority, he said, will be
exercised through the office of
price administration.
Near the close of the confer
ence, the president expressed a
thought that we are not going
to starve In this country. He
said he had heard all sorts of
speeches and noted headlines
bout food production falling off.
Davis' Job
On the question of a land
army, the chief executive assert
ed that this is one of the things
Davis is going to take up upon
his arrival in Washington. The
chief executive cited Britain's
success In Increasing food pro
duction about 60 per cent
through the use of such an army.
He indicated that It would
have to be recruited from among
high school boys and girls and
women.
The farm labor supply In ad
dition will be augmented, Mr,
Roosevelt said, by the probable
release on furlough of a great
many thousand of servicemen.
He said this would help very
much in alleviating the labor
shortage.
Furlough Farmers
It la possible without too much
disruption, he said, to furlough
men in divisions which have
been in training only three or
four weeks. But he said it
would spoil the army to break
up combat divisions ready to
leave within two weeks for over-
teas duties.
Just what size a land army
would take, the president did
not say.
Breaking down the 3,000,000
man total of prospective defer
ments of farm workers this year,
the president said 400,000 would
be single and 2,000,000 married
with wives or with wives and
children. He did not account
for the other 600,000.
The men deferred, he said, will
be in the 18 to 37 age group.

fidence. Rep. Dewey (R-Hl.), a former
assistant secretary of the treas
ury, told the house that "the
primary objective" is to place
individual income tax payments
on a current basis and he said
the Carlson bill, which embodies
principles of the Ruml plan, "is
the only measure which equit
ably achieves this objective at
one stroke."

senate agricultural committee
for "further study."
McNaryi who usually votes
with the farm bloc, says its
passage would be used by organ
ised labor to force wage In
creases that would break down
inflation controls.
A FEW minutes later, the sere
ate passes and sends to the
President (the house had passed
it already) a bill to prohibit de
duction of government benefit
payments made to farmers in
computing parity price ceilings.
Its purpose Is to RAISE the ceil
ings. AT the same time, before an-
other senate committee, John
L. Lewis defends his demanded
heavy wage increases for coal
miners. The session, at times,
gets so hot it sizzles.
JOHN P. FREY, AFL Metal
J Trades president, tells the sen
ate war Investigating committee
he ADVOCATES SUSPENSION
of the Wagner labor relations act
for the duration)
He adds:
"I'm of the opinion that noth
ing would be more advantageous
to the production of war ma
terials!" At first glance this looks like
one for the book.
THE mystery clears when Frey
the National Labor Relations
Board (which handles adminis
tration of the Wagner act) have
encouraged and assisted CIO
unions in RAIDING the member
ships of AFL unions in West
Coast shipyards.
The issue back of these raids
Is WHO COLLECTS THE DUES.
AFL Is collecting them now.
CIO wants them.

voice vote, and without vocal
dissent. Chairman Smith (D-S.C.)
said the committee would call
farm leaders, and Senator Tho
mas (D-Okla.) predicted the bill
would be back on the senate
floor in a week.
Take Revised Measure
Without pause, the chamber
took up a house-revised measure,
which it had passed previously
by an overwhelming vote in
slightly different form, and
passed it. This bill, which goes
now to President Roosevelt,
would prevent the deduction of
benefit payments made to farm
ers In calculating parity price
ceilings, a change Brown con
tended would raise food prices 7
per cent and boost the cost of
living $1,500,000,000.

An official of the state de

"I have found war production

commented.
He said he had been advised
by the U. S. attorney-general's
office that the responsibility for
releasing this idle equipment
rests with the U. S. department
of agriculture, but, he added,
there appears to have been "a
great deal of buck passing' in
dealing with the problem.

Anti-Strike Rule
Not Binding, Says
Lewis to Truman
(Continued from Page One)
court of appeals had held that
under the wage-hour law no con
tract was valid that did not pro
vide for paying the men for all
the time they spend In the mine.
(At present they are paid only
for time actually worked.)
No Pay Jnorease
Then Lewis declared that the
mine operators were not willing
to give that Increase In pay, and
asserted that under the Little
Steel formula the increase could
not be granted because the min
ers already had received a 18
per cent boost.
"1 want to point out that there
Is a conflict between the legis
lative and Judicial branches of
government," he said.
Heatwd Exchanges
In heated exchanges with sen
atorial investigators, Lewis turn
ed on Senator Ball's (R-Mlnn.)
mention of demagoguery today
tto shout "when you call me a
demagogue before I can reply, I
hurl it back in your face, sir."
This give-and-take was only
one of many which punctuated
the testimony of the United Mine
Workers leader before the senate
war Investigating committee.
At another point, when Sena
tor Brewster (R-Me.) asked him
if he was "stalling" before an
swering a question, Lewis de
clared: "I wasn't stalling with you,
sir, but I foolishly believed you
wanted an answer to your ques
tion." It was after an assertion by
Lewis that coal miners weren't
"getting enough to eat," that
Ball remarked:
"When you say that, It's dem
agoguery, pure and simple."
This brought Lewis' sharp re
ply and contention that Ball had
not given him an opportunity to
substantiate his statement.
