PAGE EIGHT HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON July 8, 1048 WAR SPENDING INVESTIGATED BY BYRD GROUP WASHINGTON, July 3 (P) The first exhaustive investiga tion of what happens to the money that congress votes for war purposes was projected Fri day by the Byrd committee on reduction of non-essential fed eral expenditures. . Chairman Byrd (D-Va.) de clared the group intends to probe the records of $330,000,000,000 in army and navy appropria tions with the idea of putting the brakes on further bills such as the $71,000,000,000 war de partment measure approved by congress this week. "There are unexpended bal ances for war expenditures of $203,000,000,000," Byrd told re porters, "and we want to find out why it is necessary to keep making such large additional ap propriations. The war could be carried on for another two years without the appropriation of another- dollar and there doesn't seem to me to be any further need of giving blank checks." His view was shared by Sen ator George (D-Ga.), who said he felt the time had come for con gress to look thoroughly into 11 proposed military expendi tures.

Propaganda Encourages Italians to By THOMAS F. HAWKINS BERN, Switzerland, July 3 VP) Fascist propagandists, tak ing a new tack in campaign to bolster the Italian will to fight, were busily engaged Friday in developing the thesis that Italy has nothing to gain by a sep arate peace and her only course is to resist to the end. , No less an authority than Virginio Gayda, Italy's best known journalist and a fascist party spokesman, hammered home this idea in an article in the Giornale d' Italia which ap parently reflected concern over allied attempts to convince the Italian people they would do well to get out of the war now. An eventual exit of Italy from the war that is, the con clusion of a .separate peace, which would never succeed of 1943. "How's About It." star the Andrews sisters, opens iomor- the screen in this great double and Bud Abbott in Damon Fight to End would In no way free the Ital ians from the war, its tragedy and destruction," Gayda wrote. While making no direct ref erence to Germany, Gayda al luded to her indirectly in elabo rating this point when he de clared that in the event Italy made a separate peace the re maining belligerents would make Italy a battleground. Gayda's article was a straight forward exposition of the theme which the Italian press has been harping on daily that no mat ter what the Italian people wish they have no recourse but to fight and that their only hope is to string along with fascism.

FEDERAL FOOD OFFICIALS EYE SPUD BUYING WASHINGTON, July 3 UP) Administration officials were re ported Friday to be considering a proposal for government pur chase and distribution of the en tire 1943 crop of late potatoes, in order to forestall a prospec tive four-month "famine" in this staple next spring. An authoritative but unquota ble source said price and food officials were studying a plan for commodity credit corporation purchase of potatoes from grow ers at prices high enough to sus tain production, to be fcllowed by controlled sales throughout the year to wholesalers and other distributors. At present rates of consump tion, the 1943 crop can last only eight months, this source esti mated, leaving a four-month po tato gap early next year, com pared with the two-month short age which affected many areas this spring. Onions, which also disap peared for a time this year, could be brought under a similar gov ernment buying-and-sclling pro gram, and so could much of the 1S44 pack of canned vegetables, The government's potato sales to distributors and wholesalers would be at prices in keeping with present ceilings, with the government absorbing the differ ence between those ceilings and the price paid to growers. About three-fourths of the po tato crop grown in northern states remains to be harvested, Early potatoes, produced in the south, have been on the market for some weeks. The latter could not now be brought under controlled distribution scheme, nor could the crop produced in central growing areas of the country.

July Fourth By EARL WHITLOCK That was a brave thing they did thosu forefathers of ours, when they signed thut Declara tion, a little more tliun a century und n half ago, The odds ugulnst them were heavy. England was strong. Tho people of tho colonies wore nut all of them In favor of In d e p o n d o nee. They were perched dangerously on the edge of a vast, danger, ous. almost unexplored conti nent. They aro patriots in all history books because they suc ceeded In their effort toward freedom. If they hud fulled, they would have been tried for treason nod assuredly hungrd. They knew that. But they act ed. They dared. And they gave to the world a nutlon which hus set new standards of liberty. new measures of kindliness and good will, new concepts of A porttinlty for the common muti; new crltrrlons of progress. And enemies who thought, a year or so ago, that wo were weak through Indulgence, spine less through prosperity, aro learning something of tho pow er and the glory of the spirit Hint rules free men who hnt war but who can wage it mcrcU lessly. You might celebrate July Fourth appropriately by buying another war bond or two. It's a swell way to commemorate the day.
