WASHINGTON, Sept. 7 CD President Roosevelt tdemanded to day that congress legislate by October 1 to stabilize the cost of Hy ing. Including farm prices, with a blunt warning that otherwise he would Invoke drastic war powers to act himself. The presidents long-awaited message on the Inflation problem recalled the seven-point program re presented April 27 to curb rising prices and reproached congress fox inactivity on the two points. In lU field "an adequate tax pro gram and a law permitting the fix ing of price ceilings on farm product at parity prices." The greatest danger, he said.

Is In dairy products, butter, cheese and evaporated milk are exempt from price control, Mr. Roosevelt said, and prices have been rising so rapidly that the situation creates a "serious threat to an adequate auplly of fluid. He saw a certainty that milk prices in large cities would go up unless control 1 established over, prices of dairy -products. The other points -of- the "pro gram whieh" did not require con gressional action ne reported were being carried out by executive action. And.

ha threat to extend his executive action to cover the whole program, unless congress acted, with the forthright declaration: lMuet Act Adequately "In the event that the congress should fail to act, and act ade quately. I shall accept the respon sibility, and I will act." Thus Mr. Roosevelt delayed the promulgation of any executive or der to effectuate the program pending the response of congress. He promised, however, that as soon as farm prices are stabilized, 'wages can and will be stabilized also. This I will do." The president set October 1 as the deadline for congress to act because he said "we can not hold the actual cost of food and cloth- ng down to approximately the present level beyond Oct.

1" with out some legislation or executive order. Bluntly, Mr. Roosevelt told the legislators in a special message that unless they acted he would ecept the responsibility to act himself and "take measures necessary to avert a disaster which iwould interfere with the wining; of the oiuiw the. president said, -wlll leave me with an inescapable responsibility to the people of this country to see to it that the war ef fort is no" longer Imperilled by threaf of economic chaos."

Showdown Delayed The Immediate threat to the Nile valley thus appeared to he dissipated for the- moment, though military quarters warned that the decisive battle on which the ultimate fate of Egypt may hinge Is still to be fought.

Unexpectedly strong opposition.
