SEAL WASHINGTON, Jan. 24q.E Serious 'obstacles barred the way to final enactment of price control legislation today, but most congressional, con-gressional, leaders were confident that both senate and house would accept th; compromise bill. Speaker. Sam Rayburn predicted house approval. Yesterday, after the chamber had worked itself Into "bad humor" in parliamentary parliament-ary maneuvering on another bill, he decided to postpone the test until Monday. Some .house members were doubtful of the outcome because the compromise was not entirely satisfactory to the farm bloc -which riddled the original bill with amendments nor to the administration, admin-istration, , which was forced to make several important concessions conces-sions on farm price ceilings.. Senate leaders were more confident, con-fident, and some farm bloc senators sena-tors conceded that house approval would assure senate adoption of the compromise. Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoney, D., Wyo., author of a formula to link farm prices with wages and to ban control of farm prices until they reached 120 per cent of parity par-ity a feature eliminated in con-' con-' ference said he had not decided whether he would vote, for the compromise bill. Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, D., Mont., said he did not oppose tixh ing of farm prices, but he asserted as-serted that the cost "of farm machinery ma-chinery and everything else the farmer must buy has gone up out of all proportion in the last 20 years, in comparison with what the farmer gets." PEARL IIARBOR (Continued from Page One) ordinate their efforts, "it was a dereliction of duty on the part of each of them not to consult and confer with the other respecting the meaning and intent of the warnings and the appropriate measures of .defense required by the imminence- of hostilities." 8 "The attitudes of each, that he was not required to inform himself him-self of, and his lack of interest in, the measures undertaken by the other to carry out the responsibility responsi-bility assigned to each other under un-der .the provisions of the plans then in effect," the report continued,' con-tinued,' 'demonstrated on the part of each a lack of appreciation of the responsibilities vested in them and inherent in their positions as commander-in-chief, Pacific fleet, and commanding general, Hawaiian Hawai-ian department." Errors of Judgment "The Japanese , attack," the report re-port said, "was a complete surprise sur-prise to the commanders, and they failed to make suitable dispositions dis-positions to meet such an attack. Each 4f ailed properly to evaluate the seriousness of the situation. These errors of judgment were the effective causes for the success suc-cess of the attack." The presidential board stated that there were "deficiencies in personnel, weapons, equipment and facilities to maintain all of the defenses on a war footing." But. these deficiencies, the re-portcontinued, re-portcontinued, "should not have affected the decision of the responsible re-sponsible commanders as to the state of readiness to be pre-' pre-' scribed." The report also placed a modicum modi-cum of blame upon war department depart-ment officials who failed, the commission said, to reply to a message from Gen. Short concerning concern-ing possibilities of sabotage. This failure, the report said, "tended to lead Gen. Short to believe be-lieve that what he had done met the requirements of the warnings and orders received by him." The report exonerated all subordinate sub-ordinate commanders, said they "executed their superior's orders without question" and "were not responsible for. the state of readiness readi-ness perscribed." As for the rank and file personnel, per-sonnel, the report continued, officers of-ficers and enlisted men of both services "were present in sufficient suffic-ient number and were in fit condition con-dition to perform any duty." "Except for a negligible number," num-ber," the report said, "the use of Intoxicating liquor on the preceding preced-ing evening did not affect their efficiency." One-half of the flour and feed mills in Canada are located In the province of Ontario. SALE ENDS JAN. 31 on Montag Ranges Liberal Allowances, Convenient Terms Taylor Bros. Co.

ENEMY SHIP (Continued from Page One) tics sinoe their campaign to drive MacArthur out of Bataan started, immediately after the fall of Manila on Jan. 2. First, Japanese frontal assaults were attempted. MacArthur's artillery, ar-tillery, cleverly emplaced in almost al-most impenetrable jungies and in niches of the precipitous hills, blasted back the Japanese tanks and troop columns with heavy losses. After nearly a week of frontal attacks, supported by terrific bombardment of Corregidor fortress, fort-ress, the Japanese tried a new tack. The balk of their bombardment bombard-ment aircraft was shifted south for the developing offensive against the . Dutch East Indies and Malaya. Groups of specialist troops then attempted to infiltrate MacArthur's lines in small groups of 10 to 100 men. These efforts also met failure. The third phase of the campaign opened almost a week ago when the Japanese brought up heavy reinforcements, landing many of them directly on Subic Bay at the head of Bataan peninsula. These troops raised the Japanese numerical numer-ical superiority to crushing odds, estimated as high as 10 to 1. Japanese warships then steamed steam-ed up to the western Bataan coast and bombardment planes were thrown back into the struggle. strug-gle. Under cover of the naval and air bombardment the Japanese launched an all-out attempt to gain footholds along the Bataan coast, preliminary to an effort to strike against MacArthur's east-west defense line from the rear. Today's army communique indicated indi-cated that the Japanese numerical numeri-cal superiority plus the naval and air support has effected at least an initial gain.

The notes were intercepted by the fan mail department of Miss Darnell's studio, 20th Century Fox, and turned 'over to police despite the sender's warning "don't tip off the police." Miss Darnell was a star in the studio's film "Brigham Young," based on the life of the Mormon pioneer leader. She appeared here at its premiere. Haws saw her then. After the first note was received, re-ceived, Miss Darnell former Dallas, Dal-las, Tex., beauty who recently signed a new contract at $1,000 a week was placed under guard. The second note was traced back to Haws, despite his precaution pre-caution in mailing them from Logan, Utah, 90 miles north of here, where he was working during dur-ing his Christmas vacation. Haws was arrested last night. Today he was taken to the Ogden, Utah, jail to await federal action by officers of the northern Utah federal district. FBI Agent Jay Newman said the case would be treated "like any bther juvenile delinquency." He faces possible detention in the federal reformatory reforma-tory at El. Reno, Okla. Acquaintances described Haws as a normal ' high school freshman fresh-man and seemed surprised at his arrest. His parents live in a working work-ing class residential district, "across the tracks' from the main Salt Lake City business district. dis-trict. SOUTH AMERICA (Continued from Page One) by the government of the respective respec-tive nations will ... be placed immediately into efficient and closely coordinated service with the merchant marine fleets of the American nations." The political committee did not complete. its work 'today and unfinished un-finished projects were referred to a special committee which will work Sunday on resolutions including in-cluding adherence to the Atlantic charter and a declaration of solidarity soli-darity with the occupied countries. coun-tries. . A resolution for creation of a joint military staff was approved in principle. Uruguayan Foreign Minister Alberto Guani said that "failure to adopt this resolution makes a farce of the conference." Chilean Foreign Minister Juan B. Rossetti appealed to the conference confer-ence to call an Immediate meeting meet-ing of an inter-American general staff "because a Japanese attack at-tack against Chile is imminent and Chile is vulnerable." A strong effort was made to complete the unfinished resolutions resolu-tions Sunday so the conference could be ended Monday according to earlier plans, but some quarters quar-ters believed that the conference might be extended. Guani, in announcing Uruguay's severance of diplomatic relations with the axis, declared that "this is a war against America, against liberty and justice, brought on by totalitarian despotism." A message from President Alfredo Al-fredo Baidomir of Uruguay said, " . . .- it was my immediate duty to break off relations ... I only awaited the consultation confer Dinner Event to Precede Hospital Meeting Feb. 14 Plans for a "family" dinner and get-together for the men and women of the community were discussed by a Utah Valley hospital hos-pital guild committee which met Friday afternoon at the home of the chairman, Mrs. Kan E.

"We have reached a state in our national and international affairs where labor must form some sort of a functional coalition coali-tion ..." Murray and AFL President William Wil-liam Green proceeded with plans for appointment of three repre sentatives each on a committee suggested by Mr. Roosevelt to adjust jurisdictional and other dis pute involving both unions. The president advanced the plan at secret White House conferences con-ferences with Murray, Green and George Meany, AFL secretary- treasurer, after Lewis suggested that labor union peace negotia tions broken off in 1939 be resum ed. Lewis' proposal, however, drew support in several quarters. Sen! Burton K. Wheeler, D., Mont., de scribed it as "a fine gesture on the part of Mr. Lewis to try to bring peace in the interest oi national defense." He said that reports that he "had anything to do" with Lewis' plans were "ab solutely false and absurd." The Amalgamated Journel, of ficial publication of the Amalga mated Association of Iron and Steel & Tin Workers, said "The time is ripe and ready for unity and peace in the labor movement." Although Lewis motives "may be selfish in nature and character," the "issue of peace must be faced' the journal said. NEW YORK.

The snowfall during the two. month period was hailed as the heaviest to hit Utah since 1837-38, In 1880, old-timers related, the snowfall Was terrific, but ft was the winter of 1837-38 that Utah was visited by the worst and heaviest snow ever known in this section. At that time the snow was so deep and the weather so cold that all the buffalo were killed off and the carcasses whitened whit-ened the valley when the pioneers entered Utah 10 years later.

Jap Planes Shot Down at Rangoon RANGOON, Jan. 24 (Official broadcast recorded by UH at cnungking) American and British Bri-tish pilots today shot down all of a squaaron or seven Japanese oomoers vainly striking at Ran goon and also destroyed nine Jan. anese fighters for a total of 16 enemy craft. One allied plane was lost. The percentage of Japanese pianes snot down was even higher tnan the toll of 21 or more taken yesterday when 71 enemy aircraft, failed in an attempt to bomb Rangoon A total of at least 37 and probably prob-ably more enemy craft have been shot down in two days, it was understood. Reports from the fighting front southeast of Moulmein said there was no change today, but the front northeast . of Moulmein , was not mentioned ROBINSON x (Continued from Page One) not been for this condition, this camp would have been gone long ago. There are only a few camps left. I have been assured that this will be one of the very last to fold' up. There is some encouragement en-couragement in the fact that the enrollment at the camp has increased in-creased from 145 to 170. I will continue to work on this matter, and, of course, I am insisting that under no circumstances can this camp be moved. "I have also made careful investigation in-vestigation with reference to the steel plant, and have been assured as-sured by the officials here that there has been nothing encountered encoun-tered that will in any way retard the progress on this project. Options Being Taken "They are taking options on land at various places, but the one that seems to be out tn front is the Geneva location. They are now making tests to determine the condition of the soil as to its feasibility for building purposes. These tests will be finished in a short time, and if they are satisfactory, satis-factory, I am satisfied that this site will be chosen. "They are also making tests on the coking possibilities of the coal, but since this coal has been used for coking purposes for about 15 years, and since it is understood that there is even a better coking coal available, I do not anticipate any trouble in that regard. "I believe that within about two weeks things will be moving quite fast. Of course, when the construction is started, it will move extremely fast."
