Taft Seeks 500 Million Rollback Fund Compromise
Senator Taft proposed a $500 million subsidy fund to raise production and hold prices, offering a middle path as Roosevelt and Congress clash over the food subsidy program. CIO chief Murray urged price rollback to last September’s level, while labor supports rollback as an alternative to broader subsidies. Brown testified rolling back farmer prices or targeting subsidies to processors or imports under a limited fund could be considered.

Romania Extends Peace Feelers as Axis Prepares for Allied Blow
London reports Romania extended peace feelers to gauge Axis and Allied reactions to withdrawal from the war. A neutral intermediary in Ankara allegedly approached Allied officials in Turkey with plans for a Romanian peace bid allowing withdrawal of certain territories if Romania could keep parts of Bukovina and northeast territories. British and German strategic moves amplify near East invasion fears as Ankara and Berlin respond amid suspected plans for a larger Mediterranean operation. A Stockholm edition cited a supposed Russian peace negotiation, dismissed in London as Nazi propaganda.
