“His majesty welcomed this opportunity of seeing the United States armies and air forces and the French army, with whom his own forces have been so closely associated in the recent memorable victory,” the London announcement stated. During his visit, the king invested Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, supreme allied commander in the Mediteranean theater, with the insignia of a knight of the grand cross of the order of the bath. The trip was the first by the king outside of Britain sinée he went to France aboard a destroyer in December, 1939, to inspect the ill-fated British expeditionary force and part of the Maginot line. The King, a commissioned pilot since 1919 and a veteran of many flights, landed at the Algiers airfield at 8 a. m. Saturday when there were only a few officers and surprised mechanics on the field.

Joan Barry Collapses as She Hears Report of Marriage.

woman who accompanied the bridal party. Lewis said the ‘party left immediately by automobile shortly before newspapermen descended en masse on the courthouse. Meanwhile, Joan Barry, 23-year-old accuser of Chaplin, was under physicians’ care after collapsing when hearing the report of the impending marriage.

“Strictly Esoteric”

Physicians hurried to the redhaired Miss Barry, fearful for the safety of her unborn child, whose father, she insists, is the whitehaired ,Chaplin. A Hollywood tipster brought on a check of marriage license bureaus by newsmen when he reported that

the multi-millionaire comedian and the sloe-eyed Miss O'Neill, had kept a rendezvous in a west Hollywood house late yesterday.

He said that Chaplin and’ Miss O'Neill, who had insisted her relations with the much-married comic were “strictly esoteric,” had driven to the house in separate cars with their baggage and had left to-

‘gether a few minutes later for

Chaplin's marrying shangri-la. The checking newsmen were jaded. They had spent hours, days, and weeks learning the details of Chaplin’s marriage years ago to Lita Gray. They had checked for six years, on and off, trying to discover where and when Chaplin married Paulette Goddard and never did learn the details even after they were divorced in Mexico ¢ few months ago. Miss O'Neill, daughter of the man who wrote “Strange Interlude,” “Desire Under the Elms,” “Emperor Jones,” and numerous other hit plays, had been studying the art of cinema under direction of the 54-year-old Chaplin for the last several months—or since he decided’ that the Brooklyn-born Miss Barry was not the actress ne had hoped.

Quizzed by Detectives

Miss O'Neill was questioned by detectives investigating the wierdly involved case of the freckle-nosed Miss Barry and said that she never had seen the British-born actor

‘| without her mother being present.

“Charles is a wonderful teacher, a wonderful man,” she said. “But I must say that our relations have been strictly esoteric.” The district attorney’s investigators, not having their dictionaries handy, let their inquiry go at that and nothing further was heard from Miss O'Neill, whose father long had been reported seeking to break up her friendship with Chaplin. Soon thereafter the ChaplinBarry paternity headlines collapsed when. they signed an out-of-court agreement providing for obstetrical expenses, support of the forthcoming child, and a blood test four

. | months after its birth to determine

its father. The agreement contained two contradictory statements: One by Miss Barry saying that Chaplin was responsible, and one by him insisting that he wasn’t.

Same Old Story: Reporters called Chaplin’s high-

answer. Not even comments from the butler who had testified as to his master’s innocence. Calls to Miss O'Neill's apartment were une Svailing and so were queries at the home of Chaplin's lawyer, Lloyd Wright. Mrs. Wright answered the phone and refused to waken her husband without knowing why.

Brown argued with Senator Robert A. Taft (R. O.) that there is specific authority for such subsidies in the two price control acts thus far passed by congress, and insisted that they must be exercised if the

* | stabilization control law is to be

effective. Corn Supply Jammed ]

Brown's defense of OPA came in the midst of: 1. Attempts by food administration officials to break a price-jam which is holding corn in the middle west and threatening eastern dairy and poultry production. Reports to farm organizations here said eastern farm co-operative elevators have only about a 10-days supply of corn and that shipments from the corn belt are small. Brown, War Food Administrator Chester C. Davis, Stabilization Director Carl Vinson and a corps of aides conferred yesterday and scheduled another meeting today to complete details of a program to “move” the corn. 2. A meeting of representatives of wholesale and retail food industries who are scheduled today to make price control recommendations. They have been studying the new com-munity-wide - prices under the auspices of OPA. Brown told them yesterday that the new price program “will be pushed with the utmost vigor.” “No More Conciliation”

Brown, who was appointed price administrator in a move to “appease” congress when OPA was under fire last year, made it plain yesterday that he had cast aside conciliatory tactics in dealing with the assaults against his authority. He told the retail and wholesale food industry representatives that price control is impossible without subsidies and that he fully intends to stand his ground on that issue. A few hours later he was backed up by Mr. Roosevelt who told his press conference that he had no intention of stripping OPA of its food rationing and price-fixing authority; that he would not give the food administrator . complete authority over food problems such as rationing and pricing; that the .OPA’s $1,500,000,000 to $2,000,000,000 price subsidy-rollback program would remain intact.

Asks for Ideas

He in effect challenged congress to devise a more workable scheme than is now operating on the field of food supply, prices and rationing. And house agriculture committee members who met with him earlier in the day hinted that they might accept. A senate group Monday also threatened to “legislate” a single food administrator. President ‘Rooseveit said -that despite the furore over the roll-back-subsidy program and the shouting about consolidating all authority over food problems in a single official, no one had offered any better way than subsidies to keep food prices down and had overlooked some important angles to the single food administrator question.

weathered committee scrutiny with only minor financial cuts and received warm praise for fulfillment of difficult jobs. OPA'’s request for $11,335,000 was

cut $12,335,000—money sought for|.

personnel increases in Washington. The committée specified that $59,551,042 of OPA’s money must be used for expenses incurred by local rationing boards and said that amount would allow 5189 additional clerks for local boards, but none for Washington headquarters.

Denies OWI Politics OWI Director Elmer Davis’ re-

quest for $47,342,000 was cut $12,869,496, but the committee promised

velopments.

Davis in his testimony said the OWI has not aided any “political

party. : Robert Sherwood, director of the OWI's overseas branch, testified that while his branch “has put out a lot of material about the president,” and some of it “was inexpert and ill-advised,” it is’ his “conviction that if our foreign propaganda were colored in any way by considerations of -domestic partisan politics we should be guilty not only of disloyalty, but of incompetence, because any form of political partisanship would, in the long run, be very bad propaganda.”

Land Wallace Agency

The most lavish praise for a war agency was reserved for the bureau of economic warfare whose chairman is Vice President Henry A. Wallace. It approved without

change the budget estimate of]:

$36,150,000 for BEW, an increase of $13,206,154 over fiscal 1943. The committee report said that “one of the most interesting and illuminating statements made by any witness during the entire hearings” on the work of the 18 war agencies was presented by the BEW’s executive director, Milo Perkins. The committee’s largest cut in a budget request was made in. the $2,300,000,000 operational! revolving fund of the war shipping administration. It denied $100,000,000 #for the purchase of Canadian cargo vessels without specific lanation. Officials of the WSA revealed that the war shipping fleet will be more ivy doubled by the end of June, 1944.

Reports on Production

Highlights of testimony: The united nations are producing $125,000,000,000 worth of arms and war supplies a year—almost double the axis rate of $65,000,000,000. This comparison was presented to a house appropriations subcommittee by War Production Board Chairman Donald M. Nelson. ! The same subcommittee heard testimony by BEW Director Perkins that “our economic strength is still rising while both Germany and Japan are beginning to show the first signs of ‘economic strain.” Nelson said that American military production will reach a peak rate of $90,000,000,000 a year in 1944. He added that it will be held at that level until the axis is crushed. And while the nation is producing $90,000,000,000 worth of war goods, Nelson said, it also will be producing $90,000,000,000 worth of goods for non-war purposes.

China’s Output Small

Nelson estimated British war production at $20,000,000,000, and added that the Soviet total is about the same as Great Britain's. . China’s production, he admitted, is “pitifully small.” Nelson praised both management and labor for American industry’s achievements. He said neither strikes nor absenteeism, although he did not condone them, had materially affected arms output. He added that absenteeism “is being licked.” ; Nelson sald he was confident that within the next year every small business which can be used effectively will be at work in the war

{production ‘program.

Emphasizing that the civilian economy must be kept healthy, if lean, he demanded a free hand in meeting civilian production proklems. Rubber Director William M. Jeffers told the committee that syn-

thetic rubber Jroduction will be

adequate to meet normal tire de-

mands by early autumn of 1944.

Then, he added, “we can forget rubber as a problem in this country.” New Ration Programs

Publication of testimony disclosed that OPA has no fewer than eight new rationing plans in the mill— including a coal program—and that it is committed to processors’ subsidies in rolling back prices. Price Administrator Brown and other witnesses clashed repeatedly. with subcommittee members, but refused to budge from policies which, they asserted, have been established either by congressional action or executive order. Judge Fred M. Vinson, new director of economic stabilization, told the subcommittee that the OPA’'S subsidy program is essential in the struggle to control “the fire of inflation”. which, he warned, “is dangerously near.” Disclosure that new rationing programs are in the offing was made by Louis J. Kroeger, OPA executive officer for rationing. Two of the new plans have been finally approved, he said, and the other six await only the necessary directives from various other agencies concerned.

No Data on Others

The two programs ready for promulgation involve the rationing of heating and cooking equipment, ordered by the war production board, and control of food sales by institutions, restaurants and hotels, ordered by the war food administration. Witnesses did not go into details of the six programs which still await the green light other than to say that most of them appeared “certain.”

Propaganda in Shells

Mr. Sherwood also revealed that American troops fired artillery shells crammed with propaganda leaflets over the axis lines in Tunisia as part of a carefully conceived plan to destroy the morale of German and Italian troops. He told the committee that the OWI “unquestionably achieved” its propaganda objectives in North Africa. Mr. Sherwood said three propaganda teams accompanied the expeditionary forces, landed with them, and initiated operations in Algiers, Oran and Casablanca. He said, leaflets were distributed in Tunisia at the rate of more than 2,000,000 weekly. “The great majority of these were. distributed by airplanes,” Sherwood said, but “about 50,000 a week were being fired over in artillery shells.” He disclosed that an OWI man in New York coined the word “Tunisgrad” to remind the Germans of their defeat at Stalin-

Tells of Wonder Drug

Pencilli n—the new “wonder drug” which is extracted from a green mold—has already effected almost magical healings of wounded American soldiers, Dr. A. N. Richards of the office of scientific research and development testified. The office recently investigated the effect of pencillin at the Bushnell veterans’ hospital in Utah on severely wounded soldiers back from the Pacific. The men were weak and delirious, and their wounds—compound fractures and shattered bones—had been treated with sulfa drugs and by other methods to no avail. When pencillin was injected, the wounds began to improve almost immediately, Richards said,

Highlights of other testimony:

The war shipping fleet will be more than doubled by the end of fiscal 1944.

“Bootleg” Raises Given Many employers. are giving “bootleg” wage raises in order to keep their employees. OCD Director James M. Landis believes saturation bombing like that over Germany is hastening the day when gas will be used against civilians. Among about 11,000 JapaneseAmericans given work leaves from war relocation camps there has not been a single case of disloyalty to the United States.
