7 (AP) Representative Fred A. Hartley Jr. told the House today that for the protection of 10- cal self-government in every municipality "it is high time that the Congress take appropriate steps to curb wanton abuse of authority by the War Labor Board."

To Evacuate Sicily "Bomber formations bombed the (Algerian) port of Bone and Philippeville at night," the German command said. Nazi fighters were declared to have shot down six planes in the Mediterranean area without loss to themselves. Indications, however, that the Nazis regarded as inevitable the ultimate loss of all North Africa were seen here in reports that they had told the Italian high command order the evacuation of civilians from Sicily, strategic Mediterranean island which might conceivably be used by the Allies as a stepping stone to invade Italy. The Morocco radio, which broadcast the reports, said the Germans planned to establish a strong military garrison in Sicily, which they already are using as an air base.

WICKARD NAMED FOOD DICTATOR Agriculture Secretary In Complete Charge of Record Program WASHINGTON, Dec. 7 (AP), Secretary of Agriculture Claude R.

President Roosevelt directed the 49 year old Wickard day to assume "full responsibility for and control over" the nation's food program, an undertaking that must reach unprecedented proportions next year in order to help feed the armed forces, the Allies and liberated countries. Wickard, who estimates that up to 25 per cent of the 1943 output will be required for lend-lease and the armed forces, takes over the marketing and distribution supervision formerly exercised by the War Production Board. Included in this is supervision of food rationing, although the transfer of authority is not expected to mean any changes in the present rationing programs of sugar and coffee and the prospective rationing of meat. These programs wil continue to be administered through the Office of Price Administration.
