British arm ored raiders sped undetected across trackless desert 10 days ago and struck telling blows at Axis bases and communications all the way to Bengasi, 500 miles west of the Egyptian front, the Middle East command announced tonight. On the same night that a sea borne Commando expedition and parachutists landed at Tobruk and British warship bombarded the Axis Libyan coast farther east, the British raiders swooped upon Bengasi and Barce, on the west side of the Cyrenalcan hump. They destroyed and damaged more than 30 Axis warplanes on the ground and inflicted heavy casualties upon enemy troops and transport, while supporting plan* es of the British and American commands shot down several German aircraft which tried to attack the raiders. That was the night of Septem ber 13. and 14.

FARM BLOCK WINS IN HOUSE Action May Bring Veto of Anti-Inflation Bill; Sen ate May Vote Today Washington. Sept. 23. ? A re bellious House tonight passed a bill granting President Roosevelt antl-inflatlonary powers, but in cited a Presidential veto by writ ing in an admlntstratlon-oppoeed amendment that would add ail (arm bloc costs to the price of ag ricultural commodities. The roll call vote was announ ced as 284 to 96. It was taken after the chamber rejected. 222 to 6G. a motion by Representative Frederick C. Smith. R.. O.. to re-i commit the bill to the banking commltte with initructlons to re port a substitute treeklng wages1 and prices for 90 days while Con-; gress drafed permanent legisla tiOD. The legislation empowers the President to stabilise prices, wag es and salaries ? i>ut not otherl cost-of-living factors ? at August 16 levels. But the farm bloc labor amendment, forced through by the powerful farm bloc, would nullify many of the President's powers because It opens the way for many farm prices to rise be yond limits ot the present price control law. | Twelve Per Oat Administration spokesmen said the amendment would boost the present farm jjloc price parity base by 12 per tent ? to ? total ot 112 per cent. Mr. Roosevelt thus wonld be prevented from fixing price ceil ings below that range. This action was completely contrary to his September 7 you do-lt-or-I-wlll ultimatum, and ad ministration leaders promptly ser ved notice that the amendment would compel him to veto the bill ? otherwise satisfactory to the administration ? and . act by exec utive order to stabilise farm prices and wages at their present levels. Administration adherents char ged openly that the farm bloc was election conscious ? that It had made out a strong case with the farmers even though Mr. Roosevelt nullifies their efforts with a veto. The President, in his ultima tum, warned against altering the parity price base and went furth er to declare that If Congress did not enact "adequate" legislation by October 1, he would assume full responsibility to the people and accomplish his objectives by executive orders. o T.

I Buddy Beam Still Champ In the final round of the Cham pionship Flight of the 1942 Oreen Hill Country Club Tournament, Buddy Beam defeated Joe Bar row 4 and 2. In winning this championship for the third con secutive ypar. Buddy shot the best score of his career ? 68, which is 2 under par and al though Joe played extra good golf, his 72 could not quite equal the sub-par score made by his opponent. Buddy's drives were exceptionally long ? averaging be tween 275 to 300 yards. He made a total of six birdies. These young players are not only good golfers but are good sports as well. Just prior to the game.. Joe presented Buddy with six of the twelve golf balls which had been sent to him by his brother, William B. Barrow, Jr. While they both played their best, the friendship between the two boys was so strong that the ulti mate victory was only a minor part of the game.

' ] PERMANENT WEED CEILING Gives More Elasticity To Prices On Tobacco Washington, Sept. 22. ? A per manent price regulation (or flue cured tobacco, superseding the temporary order issued August 31, was announced today by the Office of Price 'Administration. It will allow independent deal ers to pay slightly higher weight ed average prices for flue-cured, tobacco without in any way add ing to the smokers' costs, OPA. declared. The object of the or - der is to assure stable prices for the various grades. The new order is effective im mediately. It was drawn after seventl conferences between Prlca Administrator Leon Henderson and representatives pf tobacco producers and buyers from North Carolina and Virginia. Broader Buying Support "'Through three salient featur es' of the new order,, " the OPA announcement said. "Growers-. ? marketing the bulk of their bet ter grades during tlie next seven weeks ? may, enjoy a broader buy ing support Trom manufacturers, dealers and exporters than would have? been -+he case- under ttw temporary regulation." These features are described as follows: 1. Private buyers of flue-cured tobacco now may average their purchases for the entire season from August 31. T942. to Febru ary 28. 1943. so that they shall not exceed the average price paid by each purchaser during the Au gust 24-28. 1942. base period. In the original temporary order, buy ers were required to average out in two 30-day periods. Under ttre new^ and longer time provision, buyers may pur chase top grades nt higher than their ceiling levels and round out to the ceiling by averaging down wiien lower grades come fo mar ket later In the season. This av eraging down cannot be done to satisfactory advantage In many cases, it was felt, during a short monthly period. Aids Smaller Buyer* ? 2. The permanent ? order ? con- ? - ? lain? a provision similar to that in the previous temporary regu lation. namely that it any person had not purchased during the bare period, he could use the 34.86-cent per pound average (or that August 24-28 time, as deter mined by the Department of Ag riculture. However, the new regu lation also broadens this provis ion to alleviate certain hardship cases. Many smaller buyers were not 4n the market heavily during tha base period: some bought only lower grades and. thus, were caught with low averages ? below the 34.86 cents per pound, they may now increase their ceilings to that figure. This will allow small dealers ? particularly those selling to smaller cigarette manu facturers and for export ? to have a broader buying latitude. n RED CROSS SEWING ROOM The Red Cross Sewing room will be open on Wednesday and Friday afternoon at the home of ; Mrs. R.
