rthe service, continued expansion of WASHINGTON, Feb. 12 (U.R) Both sides agreed today that the congressional farm blocs bill to outlaw the administration's consumer food subsidy program is headed for an early presidential veto. The Senate late yesterday uttered a vigorous "No" to the subsidy program by voting 43 to 28 to ban the use of subsidies for milk, meat, butter and wheat for flour after June 30, 1944, thus joining its voice to that of the House which has already passed a similar ban. With a veto almost certain, both "pros" and "antis" began almost immediately to muster their strength for the real showdown expected when the farm bloc attempts to override the President. Nine months ago when the same issue was at stake, the President's veto held the subsidies were continued.

This time the anti-subsidy forces appear stronger, but the odds are about even on whether they will be able to raise the two-thirds vote in both houses necessary to override. The bill now goes to the House for acceptance or rejection of the Senate amendments, chief of which is an increase of one to one and one-half cents a quart in the price of fluid milk to make up for the removal of the milk subsidy.

DERK TO BOY SCOUTS TO PREACH HERE ATTEND CHURCH By UNITED PRESS The raging snowstorms which moved east across the northern part of the country from the continental divide struck the eastern seaboard today, spreading a snow blanket from three to 12 inches deep and hampering rail, air and highway transportation. The cold wave, which followed the blizzards in the Midwest, claimed at least seven lives, and in New York, the storm, described as the worst in tftat state in three years, was blamed for an at least six additional deaths. Transportation returned to normal in the northern plains states, but extreme cold hampered highway traffic.

Slowly rising temperatures were forecast for the Midwest Sunday and the Atlantic states Monday.

The Nazis had some early success there last week, forcing the British to withdraw a salient which had been thrust to Campoleone. After regrouping on Monday the Germans began a new assault, but the British beat them off with the aid of American tank destroyers. The battle seesawed back and forth.

At one time a strong Nazi patrol penetrated as far south as a key intersection on the Anzio road (which was not identified.) Then the fighting swung to the Cisterna sector, where the Americans gave the foe a bloody nose. But the Germans continued to pour reinforcements into the area, and It appeared that the battle will be a long, hard struggle. The worst weather since Christmas grounded all Allied planes yesterday, depriving the hard pressed ground forces of urgently needed support. Clearing' weather was in prospect, however, and it seemed likely that the air assault on the Nazis might be resumed and the building and strengthening of the beachhead continued. In lieu of aerial backing, the hard-fighting troops got a hand from a number of British warships which steamed in close to the Ger special attention by teachers, Davison said.
