AUSTIN, Tex (UP) -- Sen. Joe
He did not reveal details of
his understanding with congres-
sional leaders. It was learned,
- however, that he signed the
measure on condition that con-
gressional farm leaders would
cut the parity payment item. in
the pending farm appropriation
from the $450,000,000 Senate
figure to the $212,000,000 orig-
inally planned for in the budget.
"Ihaye taken up the construc-
tion of the law with certain
legislative leaders chiefly respon-
sible for it and have received
from them letters stating in ef-
fect that for the 1941 crop the
broad intention is that parity
payments should, if necessary, be
so curtailed as to avoid a price
above parity when added to the
loan and the soil conservation
payments,” Mr. Roosevelt said.
"I am therefore confident that
in the pending appropriation bill
this clear interpretation and in-
tent will be carried out.
"I am approving this joint
resolution on the distinct undel-
standing that parity payments
will be limited to the amount
necessary to bring the basic com-
modities to parity but not beyond
parity.
He added that "it should be
obvious to all that the govern-
ment ought not now to change
the existing policy by giving to
farmers a total remuneration
greater than parity.”
The bill will assure farmers
who cooperate in the 1941 Agri-
cultural Adjustment Administra-
tion programs loans equal to 85
per cent of parity on the five
basic commodities.
The loans, combined with soil
conservation and parity pay-
ments, will assure growers of the
five major farm commodities a

WASHINGTON, (UP) — The
German Gestapo maintained an
elaborate card index of American
citizens tagged as "enemies” or
ALriends" of the Nazi regime,
Richard Krebs (Jan Valtin),
fugitive former German Com-
munist, told a Dies subcommittee
today. .....
The author of the best seller,
“Out of the Night,” related how
he had, under Communist direc-
tion, wormed his way into the
Gestapo.
Later he broke with the Com-
munists and a year ago fled to
this country.
He testified that the Gestapo
had compiled elaborate records
on Germans living in America,
particularly those working in im-
portant ams plants.
The Gestapo maintained an
“industrial records department,”
he said, which trained special
agents to use the information
compiled.

Authorities feared today that at
least five persons were killed in
two “flash” floods which buried
parts of Carlsbad under 25 feet
of yellow water, and left 1,500

The bodies of Mrs. L. W. Smith,
60, and an unidentified child were
recovered yesterday. Mrs. Smith’s
negro maid, another child, and
an aged) unidentified man were
still missing, and Lieut. Col. E.
L. Safford, assistant Adjutant-
General of the New Mexico Na-
tional Guard, in charge of relief
operations, said he believed they
were drowned.”

negro and the old man disappear-

away six cabins in a tourist camp

Three others were not account-

they were in refugee camps.

WASHINGTON. (UP) — Sec-

U. S. Atlantic patrol, it was dis-
closed today.
This was revealed when the
treasury announced that the sec-
retary would not hold his regu-

ference.
A treasury spokesman said that
Morgenthau was at sea with Ad-
miral E. J. King, commander of
the Atlantic fleet.
The treasury would not discuss
the purpose of the secretary’s trip.
Morgenthau, as head of the
treasury, has top jurisdiction over
the Coast Guard, from which a
substantial number of cutters
were taken recently and assigned
to navy duties.
