Roundly Assails

Has Construed Power
To Sentence

Citizens, Is Charge
BY WILLIAM F. ARBOGAST
WASHINGTON — (AP) — The
Office of Price Administration was
roundly assailed today by a con
gressional committee whech accus
ed it of having promulgated “il
legal, absurd, useless and conflict
ing” regulations and of having
“construed its power to authorize
it to sentence citizens of the
United States to starvation.”
The committee, headed by Rep.
Smith (D.-Va.) and created by the
house to keep a check on activi
ties of executive agencies, recom
mended changes in existing law
to “retain and strengthen inflation
control and dt the same time
eliminate the abuses and injus
tices now apparent.”
Conceding a need for ‘extraor=
dinary governmental action” in
time of war to mobilize the mna
tion’s economic as well as military
resources, the committee said,
“There are right and wrong ways
to accomplish these purposes,” the
wrong way being the usurpation

Appendix A are those known

abuse of powers’ granted by con
gress “and the assumption of
powers not granted.”
Charges Made :
Against the OPA it made this
charge: ;
L. sephe Oftice-of Price Adminisira-
Itlon has assumed ‘unauthorized
powers to legislate by regulation
and has, by misinterpretation of
acts of congress, set up ~a nation
wide system of judicial - tribunals
through which this executive agen

citizens relative to its own regu
lations and orders and imposes
drastic and unconstitutional pepal
ties upon those citizes, depriving
'them in certain instances of vital
‘rights and liberties without due
process of law.”
I The OPA was not alone in seiz

Congress Hopes To Gel
Report From Hull
On Moscow (onference
WASHINGTON —(f)—Congres
sional hopes for obtaining a first
hand report on the Moscow con
ference depended entirely on Sec
retary of State Hull himself teday,
but the question stirred new in
terest in methods of obtaining in
formationp from cabinet officers.
Two resolutions have been intro
dueced in the House asking that
Hull report before a joint con
gressional session, but it was
learned authoritatively they will
be pigeon-holed unless the Secre
tary signifies a willingness to ap
peax.
Rep. Fulbright (D-Ark) express
ed hope that Hull woula “tell us
about- the conference”’ and added:
“In fact, I think it would be a
good thing if members of the cabi
net woud come up and adress
Congress from time to time to
explain what they are doing and
what they have in mind. It would
make for a feeling of mutual con
fidence.”
Rep. Kefauver (D-Tenn) has in
troduced to set apart a two-hour
period, one day each week, at
which heads of government agen
cies could be called and question
ed, His proposal has won support
from several members of both
major parties.
Chief reason for the decision to
leave it up to Hull as to whether
he will appear has been the fear
expregsed in some quarters that it
would open a general discussion
of foreign policy and politics.

Four more additions to the

that after today campaign

that citizens who have not yet

so by sending the contribution
to ‘Carter Daniel, treasurer, or

ESTABLISHED 1832
(A Berlin broadcast said today
’that a big battle was raging in
the Dnieper hend after the Rus
sians, hurling nearly 500,000 men
against the German defenses, had
broken through between Zaporozhe
and the area north and northwest
of Krivoi Rog.
(The Paris radio in a broadcast
recorded by Reuters also said that
the Russians had attempted new
crossings of the Dnieper on both
sides of Cherkasy, about 70 miles
northwest of Kremenchug.)
A Russian communique an
nounced that 50 towns were swept
up .in the continuing drive to
ward the old Polish border, now
less than 60 miles away.
‘While troops on the right flank
of Gen. Nikolai F'. Vatutin's first
UKkranian front pushed ahead after
capturing Chepovichi, 15 miles
southeéast of Korosten, central
units drove directly west past re
taken Zhitomir. This force yes
terday took Baranovka, 30 miles
west of Zhitomir, exceeding the
pace of more than 10 miles a day
which has been made between
Kiev and Zhitomir.
Vatutin's striking force is com
posed of tanks, cavalry and mot
orized infantry capable of pressing
closely on the heeis of the retreat
ing Germans. The Soviet com
lmunique said the swiftly moving
eßussia.p trcops had liberated 4,000
civilians whom the Germans were
driving to slave labor in Ger
many. i
Overcome Nazi Attacks
On the left flank Vatutin's men
were r ported to be meeting and
overcoming repeated German
counterattacks. On one sector,
the communique reported that
Russian troeps broke through en
emy resistance and captured a
populated place. - The Germans
then launched four fierce counter
attacks in swift succession, but
were thrown back after 500 of
them were wiped otit.
Close-locked fighting which hhs
marked all the combat in the
Crimea continued in the Kerch
Peninsula. Northeast of Kerch, thg
Germans launched 11 counterat
tacks with “infantry, tanks and
self-propelled guns, but all were
repulsed. - The communique said
the Russians captured two strong
ly fortified points near Kerch,
killing 900 Germans.
In the sector above Kiev, the
Red Army maintained constant
pressure south of Reichitsa, shov
ing the Germans back toward the
Pripet Marshes and broadening
their bridgehead west of the
Dnieper. About 1,500 Ciermans
were killed.
The broad lines of the Red
Army's next move has not vyet
emerged from the smoke of the
battlefield, but it is believed the
Russians are likely to fasten a
flank against the Pripet marshes
and swing southwest, driving the
Germans toward the Bug River

OPA Operations
In Report To House
WASHINGTON — (AP) — Re
fusal of the Office of Price Ad
ministration to ease price controls
for a Savannah, Ga. firm today
drew the ire of a shouse commit
tee. y
In a report critical of OPA oper
ations, the Smith committee to in
vestigate executive agencies, of
which Rep., Hugh Peterson D.-
Ga.) 8 a member, cited the case
of Alexander Brothers Company,
of Savannah as a “striking ex
ample of the handling of hard
ship cascs.”
This and similar cases, , the re
port said, ilustrate “a vice common
to the bureaucratic exercise of the
delegated congressional powers of
legislation. 2
‘¢Freed from the necessity of
considering the interests of the
regimented vorulation and from
effective judicial review of their
acts, regulations are conceived in
the interest, and to serve the con
venence of the administrator. The
individual if unfortunate, is left to
fall by the wayside,” the commit
tee asserted.
“There is today no compulsory
provision for adjustment in in
dividual cases, however grave the
hardship, and the subject’ remains
entirely within administrative dis
creton; a discretion which the ad
ministrator refuses to exercise.”
The report guoted from a letter
which former OPA Administrator
Prentiss M. Brown sent to Chair
man Smith (D.-Va.) of the com
mittee, on the Alezander Brothers
Company case,

Bio Nazi Refreat
May Be Underway
Already In Russia
Titanic Battle On ;
Russian Front Suddenly
Worse For Germans
By DeWitt MacKenzie
Associated Press War Analyst
Nazidom’s Great Man,
who claims to work his
wonder by intuition, in
deed seems to have had a °
flash of second-sight (01‘!.,“,’;-,‘%
was it horse-sense?) during
his recent beer - cellar
speech when he told his
people in about so many
words that they were head
ed for mountains of grief.
The titanic battle on the Russ J
sian front has worsened suddenly
for the Hitlerites. Two outstanding 3
developments indicate that this =
greatest of all armed conflicts is
in the midst of another far-reachs
ing crisis. These events are:
1. The Red avalanche has engulf
ed Zhitomir, thereby slashing Hits
ler's thousand-mile front virtually
in two, and pointing a spear-head
“o we roush border, some sixty
miles away. It is one of thg key
Vallpsiss Us LD Wl . Al
2. The Germans today anndunced
that Wall a million Hussian troops '
fuve bivken through the Nazi des
tenges in the Dnieper bend trap
which the Muscovites are trying
to close about the Hiilerites in
that region. This hasn't been con
firmed by the Soviets,
The berlin statement about a
break through at the trap would
Seem to be calcuiated to brepare
the German public for another big
withdrawal of their forces in that
area. As a matter of fact it
wouldn’'t be surprising if the re
treat already is well on its way,
Would Become Untenable
If this is true, there is direct
relation between the retirement in
the extreme ,south and the dangers
ous extension of the Red wedge
which has been driven into the
Nazi line at Zhitomir to the north.
A deep thrust through the front
above ‘the Dnieper bend would
render the German position on the
southern flank untenable. -~ *
