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. Kneer Nominated
For Promotion
WASHINGTON, July 3 (-TV-Colonel
Hugh J. Kneer of Port
land, Ore., who less than eight
months ago was publicly repri
manded by Secretary Stimson

C. Hart, was nominated Friday

Kneer was retired for physical
disability in 1939 after serving
as chief of staff of the general
headquarters air force. Last No

separate air force, Kneer issued
a statement in New York criti

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.
