(Continued From Page One) night from Africa to the main land of Europe without drastic revisions in armament." Critical Failure - Specifically, Patterson said industry failed by 5H per cent to meet production needs of the army ground forces last month. He said 'This failure of May production is the most critical single occurrence of the army supply program." This, he said, means that troops in training "must be de prived of critical equipment in order to supply troops being shipped overseas and those al ready overseas. If this situation continues, even our overseas troops will suffer from short ages of critical equipment." Patterson asserted that the decreased production was due, in his opinion, to "over con fidence and complacency" on the part of the country. Overconfidenee "I would attribute the let down in May," he said, "to overconfidenee inspired by the Tunisian victory and the suc cess of European bombings; to baseless rumors of vast quan tities of army supplies being stored here in America, far be yond our abilities to transport overseas, and to the mistaken belief on the part of many that materials in great quantities will shortly become available for the reconversion of many war facil ities to the production of less essential civilian items. And there are other reasons." He said the mid-western floods undoubtedly had some effect on production but "there is concrete evidence that deep seated intangibles had a far reaching effect. Stringent Liquor Rules Requested PORTLAND. June 19 (JP- The Oregon Methodist confer ence joined the campaign last night for more stringent liquor regulation in Oregon. A conference resolution asked the state liquor control commis sion to prohibit sale of alcoholic beverages in war plant and mili tary areas and to ban liquor ad vertising in the state. The Oregon Anti-liquor league and the WCTU made the same demand before the commission yesterday. The Methodists also protested use of "grain and other materials for the manufacture of alcoholic beverages while at the same time there is a growing shortage of foods." lipFPTTTfi now wmmmmj Continuous Prom liM P.

This meant martial law was extended to most of the Italian boot south of Naples, capital of Napoli. The Rome radio, in a report recorded by The Associated Press, said the affected prov inces were Foggia, Bari, Brind isi, Lesse, Taranto, Cosenza, Cat anzara. Matera and part of Reg gio Calabria. Sardinia and Sicily, besieged Italian Medi terranean outpost islands, long have been under martial law and "zones of operation." The Morocco radio asserted that the fascist party directorate had asked Mussolini to relin quish the entire conduct of the war to the party. This uncon firmed report, recorded by The Associated Press, suggested that strife within the party was rampant and that efforts might be underway to oust Mussolini in a move preliminary to event ual bargaining with the Allies. Due in Trouble During most of the week, re ports emanating from Italy have pictured Carlo Scorza, secretary of the fascist party, as the dom inant figure in the government. Trustworthy reports from in side Europe said a tide of Ital ian bitterness has been rising against Mussolini, whose adven ture into war already has cost Italy all her African empire and the Mediterranean islands of Pantelleria, Lampedusa, Lam pione and Linosa. Italy has been brought under devastating aer ial bombardment from Africa and from the British Isles, and the whole of the exposed penin sula is within range of bombers. Moreover, Mussolini's deals with the Germans have brought an increasing dominance from the senior axis power. These reports said Mussolini was attempting to shift the blame for his errors upon the fascist party national director ate and that this was the rea son for the eminence of the directorate in Italian affairs earlier this week. However, all members of the directorate were appointed by Mussolini, whose title of II Duce means "leader of the party. Circus Performers Hit by Poisoning WASHINGTON, June 19 W) More than 100 performers and employes of Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey circus were under treatment in hospitals to day for food poisoning which struck- many of them last night while the show was on. Officials of the circus said they expected to go ahead with this afternoon's performance. Many of the 103 still in hospi tals at mid-morning were trying to persuade physicians to re lease them but most were held until' noon as a precautionary measure. Substitutes were arranged for some of the acts, but many of those stricken planned to take their regular turns. Johann Strauss was the ori ginal "Waltz King." Invitlort of Iwipt" (World In Action) Davis Angered at House Move to End Domestic OWI (Continued From Page One) said the action would wipe out all wartime coordination of news releases for the radio and the press and eliminate the motion picture program. The OWI employs approxi mately 1500 persons in its do mestic bureau and around 3000 in the overseas branch. Called a Stench In his speech, Starnes de clared: "America needs no Goebbels sitting in Washington to tell the press what to publish. America needs no Virginio Gayda sitting in Washington to hand down news and tell us how to think. . . . "The type and character of the domestic propaganda foisted up on the American people, through publications printed and distrib uted at government expense by the OWI, is a stench to the nos trils of a democratic people. . . . "It is an insult to the Ameri can people to say they do not know what we are fighting for until they are told what and why by the OWI under the di rection of Mr. Elmer Davis of the American labor party. "It is more than a waste of public funds to permit the office of war information to spend $5,- 500,000 to inform the American people why we are at war and how to win it, when we have the only free and untrammelcd press in the world to give the facts without distortion. "We should thank God In our daily prayers for America's free press." Rep. Allen CD-La.) charged that OWI's recent pamphlet on the negro situation had cited race prejudice in the south. AGAINST JAPANESE (Continued From Page One) eral of India, Sir Archibald, who now becomes Lord Wavell, suc ceeds the Marquess of Linlith gow. The appointment is for five years. To take Wavell's place as commander-in-chief in India the British government appointed Gen. Sir Claude Auchinleck, who was relieved as British commander in the middle east in 1942. Field Marshal Wavell, now in Britain, will return to India to begin his duties when Lord Lin lithgow's term expires in Octo ber. General Auchinleck takes over at once as Indian military commander, a position he held in 1940-41 before being shifted to the middle east. As the first step in the plan to create the new east Asia com mand, the announcement said, "it is proposed to relieve the commander-in-chief in India of responsibility for the conduct of operations against Japan." This intention was viewed as one of the first tangible steps in development of the global strat egy evolved in the recent Wash ington conferences between 1 President Roosevelt and Prime i veil and the air and naval com manders in India took part.

Lewis went into session in the forenoon with his district presidents, but a spokesman said a statement of any kind is unlikely in advance of the full policy meeting late in the day. A delegation of six miners from Logan county. West Vir ginia, came to Washington with a request for admission to the White House to present their case.

OPA (Continued From Page One) bers of both parties seized the opportunity to blast Price Ad ministrator Prentiss Brown's agency.

Republicans almost solidly supported the amendment, which was adopted. 185 to 147. Anti-Subsidy Dirksen then wrote into the bill, on a vote of 160 to 106, his anti-subsidy amendment, which provided in effect that none of OPA's funds may be used for the salaries or expenses of any employes promulgating or ad ministering subsidy programs. He followed with a third amendment, accepted 188 to 144, denying salary or expenses to any price policy-making official, except the administration, who has not had at least five consecu tive years of experience in the field of business in which he is helping to shape OPA, policy.
