Farm Relief Change Seen Shrinking F oreign Markets Will Force Major Changes, Com- j mittee Members Say. \ Washington, Dec. 24.—(AP)—Pic-, dictions that the war and shrinkingj foreign markets would force Cong- j less to make major changes in farm benefits came today from Chairman Fulmer and Representative I lope, oi the House agriculture committee. They said in interviews that con tinually increasing surpluses and ris ing wages for industry would compel a compensating adjustment for the producers of all crops, particularly those exported. "We've got to do something to get away from these annual appropria tions for parity and give the farmer some base for his income such as the certificate plan," Fulmer said. "I intend to put the whole pro blem before the committee as soon as possible after the new Congress convenes and hope that we solve it." Hope ^aid that he expected Cong ress to be asked to consider aid at' ltast for cotton, wheat and tobacco,! three major export crops, "if for no i other reason than the surpluses." "The certificate plan seems to be | the next best phin that has been o:- j fered that would give the farmer a I basic price and at the same time! would permit surpluses to move into j (Continued on Pa%e Seven) BILLY HILL DEAD j Boston, Dec. 24.— (AP) —Billy i Hill, 42, New York and Hollywood song writer whose best known work probably was his "Last Round Up", was found dead today in a hotel , room.

The children ranged in age from six ;o 15. Prince Georges county police said the children and their mother ap parently were asleep when the fire broke out around 6 a. rn. The fath er, Alton M. Heinbuck, 36, is a food warehouse manager and had been working at nights. Police said Heinbuck did not reach his home, a bungalow about six miles from Washington, until 8:20 o'clock.

I Mull of Shelby says he has the i speakership of the 1941 North Car i olina House of Representatives clinch ( ed yet George Uzzell of Salisbury re- j ; fused to concede him a thing today. Admittedly the Senate race fori 1 president protein is closer, with John D. Larkins, Jr., of Trenton, claiming I I 2!J vote.-, and Archie Gay of Jackson j ! asserting he has 27. ' Mull, veteran legislator, former | ! state Democratic chairman and .i close friend and counsellor of Gov I crnor Hoey and Former Governor O.J i Max Gardner, has claimed a ma-j j jority in the speakership race fori weeks and today estimated his j pledged votes as high as 95 of the ' 120 house members. "I am predicting that less than 20 ' votes wiil be cast against me in the: 1 Democratic caucus the night of Jan- j • uary 7," Mull told the Associated Pi-ess. Young Uzzell, who will be serving | his fifth term in the House though : lie is only 37 years old. said that he1 would be in the race "until the vote I if Counted" and said that he had re | ceived assurances that he would get i the vote of at least 61 House mem | bers. "It will only take 57 votes to elect [me," Uzzell said "I have 61 assur- j lances of support. I am receiving en- j couragement from unexpected sour-! ces." During the last week or ten days Uzzell has held numerous confer ences with small groups of his sup porters, he said, and invariably they said a canvass showed he had enougn votes to win. Veteran political observers here, however, give Uzzell little more than an outside chance. They concede his popularity and hedge with statements that they may be mistaken but they j also believe that Mull's close asso i ciations with Governor Hoey and Former Governor Gardner will be to ; his advantage. Nazi Chief In Address London Alive With Speculation That Hit ler Plans Attempt to Invade Britain; Axis Powers Ridicule Win ston Churchill. Hint (By The Associated Press.) Field Marshal General Walter von BrauchiU'ch, commander in chief of ! Ihe German army, told Germany'* armed forces today ho knew they were "just binning up with the de i sire at last to meet the English." i As he spoke in a radio broadcast from a nazi long-range gun emplace ment on the English Channel coasi, London was alive with speculation that Adolf Hitler might be planning a Christmas attempt to invade Eng land. "I know you are merely awaiting the fuehrer's command." von Brauch itseh said. Only a few hours earlier in a pic dawn raid, English warplanes had battered anew at nazi "invasion" ports across the channel and Berlin had served notice of • no truce" with Britain over the Yuletide holiday. Increased activity on the German held channel coast was reported in London. "The ocean can protect England only so long as it suits us." von Brauchitsch said, adding that he had visited all sections of the German army in recent days and convinced himself of "the excellent spirit and ever growing strength of our army." Churchill Kidiculcd. Both Rome and Berlin officially ridiculed Prime Minister Winston Churchill's broadcast appeal yester day to King Victor''* Emanuele and the Italian people to turn again:.. Mussolini and the German aliiance. Premier Mussolini's government flatly rejected the plea, declaring "Italy will continue the war on all Iionts until victory."' Kardia Pounded.
