They may not have any 1943 convention.

They may be too busy. With a unity never before seen in American Legion history, the convention recorded demand after demand for a more vigorous war effort.

Legislation urged by the convention would provide: Job security for all returning from the armed services. One compulsory military training for youth after the war. Fewer deferments of young, able- bodied men in essential jobs; and no deferments at requests unless substitute employes cannot be found. POPE RECEIVES TAYLOR BERN, Switzerland, Sept.

FARM BLOC IN PARITY BATTLE Barkley Confident Upward Revision Can Be Defeated By Jack BeU WASHINGTON. Sept. (JP resurgent farm bloc fought a nip and tuck battle with administration forces today to inject a new and higher basis for agricultural parity prices into the anti-inflation bill.

Although Democratic Leader Barkley (Kentucky) and others remained confident they could defeat a proposed upward revision of 4.6 percent, the Senate was reported so evenly divided on the parity question that a handful of votes might decide the issue. looks all Barkley told reporters before the Senate began its second day of debate on the measure. The House, a day behind, arranged for general discussion today with amendment coming up for a vote tomorrow. Parity is a price standard which, when reached, is calculated to equalize the return the farmer receives for what he sells with the prices of the things he buys. In the past, it has been used as the basis for making government loan and as a goal for a fair return to the farmer.

It has assumed paramount importance now because, under terms of the pending bill, it would become the lowest point at which price ceilings could be placed on farm products by President Roosevelt in carrying out the prospective con- gressal directive to stabllilze prices, wages and salaries. Despite the assertion that he was to any change in the basis of computing parity. Senators Hatch (D- NM) and Thomas (D-Okla) submitted amendments which would included farm labor costs for the first time in computing parity.

They said that if the pending anti-inflation legislation and regulations set up under it to control farm prices are not carefully prepared to allow for the many peculiarities of grain marketing, the private trade may be strait-jacketed. Then complete federal operation of a vast and complex business might become necessary. Difficiulties associated with adoption of price restrictions for cereals resulted, they said, principally because grains differ widely in value.

Under pending legislation, the range of prices of wheat technically would be exteremly narrow. Farm parity price is around $1.34 a bushel, which would be the celling. Government loan rates would be 90 percent, or about $1.21. The actual price of wheat on the farm now is well below either figure and would not necessarily rise to the loan rate, grain men said.

Amnesia Victim Recovers, Finds Married To Man She Remember HOLLYWOOD, Sept. The widow of a Binghamton, N. editor suffering from amnesia for almost a year, recovered her memory yesterday to find herself married to a man she remember.

The mixup came to light when Mrs. Glory Weller Miller, 25, awoke in the unfamiliar surroundings of a motor hotel. Bewildered and not certain of her identity, she appealed to the hotel manager for assistance. He took her to the police station. There police speedily identified her through a picture supplied by her husband, Henry Miller, a mercial photographer who had reported her missing.

But Miller was a stranger to his wife. She had no recollection of meeting him, of their marriage in Las Vegas, May 1, or of her life with him since. The shock which led to her plight occurred November 4, 1941, she said, when she entered her home in Atascadero, and found her first husband, H. Pierce Weller, 50, dead. That was her last remembrance until her recovery in the motor hotel.

She know the nation was at war; she had no recollection of the attack Pearl Harbor. know what to she told interviewers. stay with someone I know. I realize all the evidence indicates I was married to Mr. Miller, but I know him.
