Mr. Roosevelt said the purpose if the Legislation "should be to hold farm prices at parity, or at levels of a recent date, whichever is higher." He said "at the same time that farm prices are stabiliz ed, wages can and will be stabi- ijed also. This I will do." The President recalled that two points of his original seven-point anti-inflation program required leg islation "an adequate tax pro gram, and a law permitting the fixing of price ceilings on farm pro ducts at parity prices." He said in enacting this Legislation now reached the point of dan ger to our whole economy . . . We :annot hold the actual cost of food and clothing down to approximate ly the present level beyond October 1. But no one can give any as surances that the cost of living can beheld down after that date . . " He renewed his request of last April for an individual net income limitation of $25,000.

For those people who licenses this may be welcome for the county are only $1.10, non-resident $15.25.

In the raids the fortresses destroy ed five enemy fighters and prob ably destroyed 13 more, and dam aged another 25. The bombers were escorted by 400 allied fight ers, three of which were shot down.

The Navy also announced the sinking of nine more United Nations mer chant vessels by enemy submarines in the Atlantic. WAR AIMS AND FOREIGN RELATIONS President Roosevelt, in an ad dress broadcast to an international student assembly in Washington and short-waved to other parts of the world, stated the war is "go ing to be long and hard and bitter (but) this time we shall know how to make full use of Victory" to build a better world. He said the government will see to it that men returning from the fronts can resume their interrupted careers and education atid that work is provided for those willing and able to work. ARMY AND SELECTIVE SERVICE Assistant Secretary of War Mc Cloy said that between February 1 and August 30 U. S. Army planes destroyed 234 Japanese planes in the air, compared with American losses of 109. This record, togeth er with the "flying tigers," record of 218 Japanese planes destroyed as against losses of 84, is due mainly to the performance of the P-40 fighters, he said. The army said it has developend a system of technical inspection and main tenance supervision of aircraft that is undoubtedly the finest in the world. The War Department sent 36, 000 dependents, allowance checks totaling $4,500,000 to relatives and dependents of enlisted men in the four lower grades of the service. Selective Service headquarters in structed State SS boards to place their calls so that most men right now will come from local boards with the most single men or men with dependents other than wives and children. .-' NAVY AND SHn'BUTLDING Navy Secretary Knox said the submarine menace "is not by any means solved," but there has been Canton Plays Hickory In Opener On Friday Special to The Mountaineer CANTON The Canton high school Black Bears will open their 1942 football schedule here Fri day night with Hickory high school furnishing the opposition. The kick-off is scheduled for 8 o'clock on Canton's new football field. The new concrete stadium, with a seating capacity of 2,500, will be used for the first time and a record opening game crowd is expected to attend. The Canton school hand ...ill kn.l rt Ki.niri.U niiiaii and extra color, and an added fea- ure of the gme is the fact that SJm the invaders. New and higher-powered flood light have also been installed on Canton's gridiron this year for the benefit of both players and spectators, making it one of the finest football plants in this sec tion. The Black Bears have been dril ling hard for the past three weeks, under the direction of Coach C. C Poindcxter who is beginning his seventh year as mentor here. His team has been hard hit by the loss of such veteran performers as Eugene Grogan, ' all-conference end, Wilfred Tucker, end, Wiley Poindexter, Alvin Rarton, James Bryson and Alton Phillips, tackles, Pierson Wilson, guard, and Clar ence Smathers, fullback. However Poindexter has eleven lettermen returned around whom he is rebuilding the team. They are Charles Carroll, all-conference center, and Carroll Rickman, cen ter; Roy Stamey, Calvin Shope, and Jatk White, guards; C. S. Owen, Billiard Smathers, . Clyde Rhine- hart, Bobby Smathers, German Mil ler, and Kenneth Sutton, backs Two more letter-men end Bill Harrison and guard Billy Matth ews were expected to return from summer jobs today to report for duty. Several experimental shifts of the veterans have been made in practice sessions in order to put together a well balanced machine. The boys have shown a fine spirit in their daily workouts, and their followers are predicting for them a better season than the even break they had last year. Several stars from the '41 fresh man team are looking so good on the practice field that it is highly probable that some of the letter men will find themselves relegated to the bench when Poindexter an nounces the starting lineup Friday night. The Bears have eleven games on their schedule now, with seven of them at home and six against Blue Ridge Conference teams. The schedule: Sept. 11 (night) Hickory here Sept. 18 (night) Bryson City here. Sept. 25 Brevard there. Oct. 2 (night) Morganton here. Oct. 9 (night) Swannanoa here. Oct. 1C (night) Wayneaville there.

A shipbuild- ng compilation for Labor Day showed 174 launchings and 49 keel ayings during the day for many cinds and sizes of combat and car go ships. The Maritime Commis sion reported 68 vessels were put nto service in August and there s "every indication" the goal of three completed ships a day will be reached in September. RATIONING The War Production Board re eased 50,000 of the refrigerators which have been frozen in the hands of dealers and distributors since February 14 for sale to the general, public after finding that hey were not needed for "essen ,ial" purposes. Another 50,000 will be released by authorization of WPB for delivery to dealers and transfer to ultimate consumers". The WPB food requirements com mittee recommended to the board the following meat conservation program (1) Limitation of the amounts of meat packers may sell to the civilian trade so that each civilian will be able to buy 2 pounds a week; (2) direct consum er rationing to be started as soon as possible- in about four months; (3) an interim voluntary conserva tion program. PURCHASE OF WAR BONDS The Treasury Department an nounced sales of War Bonds in August totaled $697,255,000 in bonds through the ten percent pay roll savings plan, compared with 18,000,000 persons and $200,000,- 000 in July. Treasury Secretary Morgenthau announced State War Bond quotas for September, total ing $775,000,000 for the country. TAXATION AND PROFITS The Treasury Department rec ommended to Congress a reduction In individual income tax exemp tions to $500 for each dependent. The Treasury also proposed a ten See Gen. Marshall As Commander At "Second Front" By CHARLES P. STEWART (Central Press Columnist) WASHINGTON. Of course the chances of an additional United Nat i o n s continental European front against Herr Hitler has been all the talk of Washington, Lon don, and doubtless in the Axis cap itals also ever since British Prime Minister Winston Churchill's visit to Moscow, presumably to discuss the matter with Russian Chief Jo sef Stalin, with W. Averell Ham man sitting in as President Roose velt's representative. It's speculative talk, naturally. It scarcely requires saying that the American, British and Mus coviet high commands will sup press the news as far as they can, for the sake of taking Adolf as much by surprise us possible. How ever, it's difficult to see how a formidable Yankee expeditionary force can be smuggled across the Atlantic without attracting a good bit of the Fuehrer's attention. I.n fact, he must have his suspicions already. Nevertheless, the mili tary complex is strongly for all the secrecy it can manage until the psychological moment arrives for its bomb to go oil' and blow the unprepared enemy to smitheration. Still, there's plenty of gossip. That the question arises, "Is Adolf fixed to put up a pretty stiff fight against an attack from his westward?" goes without quoting it,' ' Some authorities theorize affirm atively. There are others, though, who believe it would disorganize him frightfully. Internal Help In the first place, it's argued, the people of nil the countries he's conquered temporarily, would grab the opportunity to rise up against him solidly, their number considerable and they could make him a deal of trouble, more or less armed from here and Britain. The Free French, it's a fore gone conclusion, would be with 'em. As has been remarked previous ly, the Fuehrer's been trying to get Spain into his totalitarian partnership and Caudillo Franco doesn't seem unwilling. An Anglo American continental invasion, though, would be fairly certain to scare him out of it, at least until convinced of tho Nazis' ability to defend themselves. And what would be the internal effect on the Axis? The guess has been ventured be fore that Germany's own morale is increasingly a trifle rickety. The last war demonstrated that those Teutons can crack up in a hurry. What mightn't a run of bad luck do to it this time? It's been known all along that Italy's feet are cold. Maybe .Duce Mussolini's personal pair of 'cm are, or, if not, his home folk might apply some refrigeration. Japan's a consideration. Those Japs, it's recognized, want to invade and gobble Asiatic Rus sia. With the Soviets, hard push ed on their German frontage, the attempt probably wouldn't be a poor gamble by the Mikado. That would be decidedly calculated to make Moscow fold up as one of the United Nations. But it wouldn't be at all a healthy experiment for Nippon, with Russia's Siberian hands left comparatively free by United Nations' activities in the opposite direction and with the United States hammering at the island empire from our side of the Pacific, plus China in its imme diate neighborhood- Doolittle Over Germany? It's noteworthy that Gen. James H. Doolittle, who bombed Japan's chief cities not long ago, has been in London recently. He was so successful and so rattled Jap morale that it's been wondered why he didn't do it some more, but apparently he's been figuring that he could do more good as a second-frontist over Germany and is doping out that program. If so, okay. Germany's closer to the bull's eye than Japan is. From all accounts. Chief of Staff George C. Marshall of the United States army will be the percent tax on consumer spending and high penalty rates for luxury spending. At the request of Con gress, the Treasury outlined a sales tax levied against the retailer who would pass it on to the consumer. War expenditures in August were $43,900 million, more than three times greater than the amount spent for national defense a year ago. Income payments to indi viduals in July were 21 percent more than July, 1941 and were at the record annual rate of $114 bil lion a year, the Commerce Peparf ment said. "; .'
