charged James P. Byrnes, the
economic stabilization director,
with assuming the role of "the
master strategist" tn a back stage
battle by the administration for
the more than one-third support
Jt will need on a roll call to sus
tain the veto.
Byrnes Figures
Byrnes' name also figures In
proceedings of the agriculture
committee, which after threats it
would issue subpoenas to compel
attendance of witnesses, finally
got Price Administrator Prentiss
Brown and Secretary or Agricui'
ture Wickard before It an hour
late for testimony on the Pace
bill to boost parity standards by
including all farm labor costs.
Wickard told committee mem
bers he had not come earlier
when he was advised by Byrnes
that Brown and Chester Davis,
the food administrator, were not
going to appear. Brown was
told by the committee to be on
hand Thursday morning for testi
mony and excused till then.
Brown and Secretary of Agri
culture Wickard agreed to ap
pear after Chairman Smith (D
S. C.) described their failure to
appear as a refusal and raised
the possibility of subpoenaeing
them.
Committee Meets
The committee met to consider
the administration-opposed Pace
bill to include farm labor costs
in computations of parity prices,
even as the senate approached a
vote on overriding President
Roosevelt's veto of the Bankhead
bill to prohibit deduction of gov
ernment benefit payments before
fixing parity price ceilings.
The author of the latter bill,
Senator Bankhead (D-Ala.), said
today the outcome of the at
- tempt to override is in doubt
Senate Majority Leader Bark
ley said he had reported to Presi
dent Roosevelt at a White House
conference 'today that the chance
of substantiating the veto "looks
fairly good."
. , Newt Welcome
: He remarked that he thought
some good news probably would
be welcomed by the president. .
, "Disrespect toward a senate
committee" was charged to
Brown and Wickard by Chap
man Smith, but aides of the two
officials denied this.
Manning Shaw, executive as
sistant to Brown, told reporters
he had sought to have the price
administrator excused from ap
pearing before the committee to
day because of other engage
ments, and suggested that he ap
pear later in the week, prefer
ably Thursday.

a "new mass attack" in Tunisia

ECONOMY DRIVE
PUTS CONGRESS
ON LESS MONEY
WASHINGTON, April 6 P)
The Capitol Hill economy drive
struck home today as the house
appropriations committee recom
mendation that congress get
along with less money during the
fiscal year starting next July 1
than It had for the current year.
The congressional share of a
$40,659,273 appropriation bill
for the legislative establishment
and the judiciary reported by
the committee was $3,083,528 for
the senate and $9,527,598 (or the
house, an overall reduction ot
$217,374 from current year fundi
and $113,000 below budget esti
mates. Other Items recommendod In
cluded $2,070,680 tor the archi
tect of the capltol, $3,886,360 for
the library of congress, $8,422,
500 for the government printing
office, $635,200 for the supreme
court, $740,110 for miscellaneous
courts, $10,758,300 for district
courts and courts of appeals, and
$267,800 for United States court
administration.
The total in the bill was
$3,166,819 below current year
appropriations and $1,145,077
below budget estimates.
Reductions recommended by
the committee ranged all the
way from elimination ot 48 of
fices of clerks of district courts
to refusal ot funds requested by
the architect to paint the capltol
dome. The paint job, the com
mittee commented, could be put
off another year In difference to
the war effort and the shortage
ot materials.
"The bill as presented li re
duced to a pure malntenance-
and-operatlon basis," the com
mittee observed.
(Continued from Page One)
"in consequence of losses suffer
ed on the day before.".
Local Importance
("Fighting activity of local
hnportance only," it, said, "was
reported from the remaining
front sectors."
(In connection with the re
ported Kuban operations, the
Berlin radio broadcast a trans
ocean dispatch asserting that
German positions in this area
were strongly consolidated..
("Large parts of the German
army, which, during the autumn
and early winter were stationed
In tho Caucasus, had been with
drawn to the region of the Ku
ban bridgehead so that German
troops there would have at their
disposal particularly strong ar
maments for defense," the trans
ocean dispatch said
Threatening Cloud
(This defense position was
called by the broadcast a "threat
ening cloud" over soviet posi
tions in the Caucasus. The dis
patch claimed 230 Russians were
killed, more than 250 captured
and 13 tanks destroyed in the
latest action, and predicted new
Russian attempts to break the
German strong point.)
This Kuban country itself of
fers many natural obstacles to
speedy progress, including salty
marshes and swamps.
Tho Kuban river is wide and
at this time of year overflows its
banks, flooding or washing away
many roads.

MO one Is wholly satisfied with
what we have accomplished
In tho 16 months we have been
at war, but that is largely due to
the fact that tho task wo faced
on December 7, 1941, was so Im
mense that even the miracles of
production we have brought
about are not sufficient to meet
the needs that exist,
When we need so badly to do
the Impossible, we can't bo smug
ly satisfied merely with a re
markable record.
W7E ought to reallie, however,
that tho remarkable record
we have made Is duo WHOLLY
to the co-operation we have been
able to bring about and not at all
to the quarreling and the back
biting and the buck-passing we
have indulged in,
COME day the war will be over.
" When it ends, we will face
another task almost as hugo at
that we are now engsgod In.
When that time comes, It will
again be co-operation that will
enable us to meet and overcome
the difficulties we will face when
we tackle the job of rebuilding
our country AND A WORLD that
have been sadly wrecked by
war.
PROM where wo sit now, It
looks very much at if this
generation and the next will
NEVER be able to afford the
luxury of quarreling and fighting
and refusing to co-operate.
In the situations we will bo
called upon to fnce, such things
will be plain, inexcusable EX
