POST-DEMOCRAT, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1943.

Advises Americans To Revise Opinions Boston, Oct. 1. — Assistant Secretary of the Navy Ralph A. Bard today advised Americans to revise their outmoded ideas about the Russian Communist program of 10 years ago, lest they wreck the world peace program of the future. “Russia as our ally makes sense in a big way,” he said. “Russia as someone else’s ally raises consternation in the breasts of those who are vitally interested in the world our children will have to

live in.”

Bard spoke before the annual convention of the Metal Trades Department of the American Federation o.f Labor. He combined his advice to Americans on their attitude toward Russia with sharp words to management and labor to forget their differences before they become just “colorful but useless ornaments of American industrial society.” He emphasized that just as cooperation with Russia is the paramount international issue facing this country, the most important domestic problem is creation of labor-management cooperation that will assure a prosperous and hap-

py America.

PLAN TO PROTECT DAIRY FARMERS Prices Of Dairy Feeds To Be Maintained At

Sept. Level

The War Food Administration

announced on September 25, 1943, effective for the period October 1, 1943 through December 31, 1943, the general provisions of a program to protect diary farmers against increases above the September 1942 level in the prices of

dairy feeds, including hay. A payment based primarily on

the increased cost of feed since . September 1942 will be made to dajiryt producers. Considerations

will also be given to the difference icils for this purpose will be made

A driver with alcohol in his system doesn’t have much system about the way he does things. In the grade crossing accident illustrated here, three young men had alcohol in their systems and the three men and their systems, including the alcohol, were in a car, one of them as the driver. At 3:20 a.m. the driver steered headon into a freight train at a (grade crossing. The impact derailed an oil car and threw it into the path of a speeding passenger train coming from the opposite direction. The passenger engine was derailed, and jack-knifed the baggage car, turning over a coach and derailing five additional cars. Forty persons were injured, the three young men were killed and traffic on the mainline — a vital war goods artery — was tied up

for several hours.

Alcohol and gasoline don’t mix —nor does a car mix well with a speeding train. But 34 per cent of the grade crossing accidents are due to cars running into the side ,of trains, and three-fourths of

these occur at night.

The National Safety Council is conducting a special campaign to

stop these accidents which every day delay 38 trains a total of 22 hours—a serious drain on the nation’s war transportation effort. Driver carelessness is the cause of almost all grade crossing acci-

dents, according to the Council. To help win the war — to save yourself and others needless suffering— the Council asks you to be sure the track is clear before you start across.

SOAP WILL BE MORE PLENTIFUL

Soap Production Will Be

Increased At Least

28 Per cent

The War Food Administration announced September 22 that a program will be inaugurated soon to bring about a 28 percent in- 1 crease in soap production for civilian use. The program assures consumers greater soap supplies with-

in a short time.

Additional quantities of fats and

between prices now being received for milk and those received during the immediate prewar year$. Thus, the payment will be higher fn areas where the quantity of pui’Chased feed is larger and feed costs have advanced the most, and where the advance in prices received for milk since the period immediately preceding- our entry into the war. In any event, the payment will not be less than the equivalent of 25' cents per hundredweight of whole milk delivered, except in areas where other programs for dairy producers are now in eTfect, and Hot in excess of 50 cents per hundredweight. W T hen butterfat rather than whole milk is delivered, the minimum and maximum rates will be 3 cents and 6 cents per pound of butterfat, respectively. The payment rate in areas where a milk subsidy is already in effect, or where a hay program has stabilized hay prices to dairy producers, will be adjusted to take these pro-

grams into account.

In some cases, it may be desirable to make the payment to the producer through cooperative marketing associations or other marketing agencies. In all other cases, the payment will be made direct to the dairy producer. All farmers in an area will receive payments at the same rate even though there may be some variations among individual farmers in the area in the proportions of purchased feeds

fed dairy herds.

From September 1942 through June 1943, the margin between feed costs and dairy product prices was, in general, well above the long-time average. This advantage declined rapidly after June and by September the margin was slightly below the long-time average. The program announced is designed to restore feed costs to the •September 1942 level without disturbing the prices of milk or oth-

er dairy products.

WAF officials advise dairymen to keep accurate records of their sales of milk and butterfat and of their purchases of dairy feeds, in1943. Where payments are made eluding hay, beginning October 1, directly to the producer;, this record of sales and purchases and the supporting evidence will be filed with the county AAA office. The WFA points out the feed payment program is for a threemonth period. It is expected further consideration will be given to the whole milk production program by Congness and appropriate administrative agencies before the expiration of this period.

available to soap manufacturers, the WFA said, and the larger soap supidies should reach consumers within a few weeks. Soap production for civilian use has been at reduced levels this year, officials pointed out, but consumers have had no reason to indulge in “scare buying.” Stocks in 1942 were the heaviest in history, and some of them w r ere available until the middle of 1943. Absence 9f some types of soap from retail shelves in recent months has been caused primarily by consumer hoarding on the basis of unfounded rumors, WFA said. The soap supply under the proposed program will provide 25.4 pounds per person compared with 23.4 in 1942, and 25.3 pounds in the prewar years, 1937-41. Household packaged and bar soaps will be increased from the 17 pounds per person at present to 22 pounds. While the proposed increase in civilian soap production, on a per capita basis, will provide enough' soap to exceed the 1942 supply and equal that of prewar years, WFA emphasized the fact that there still will be no excess in overall supplies and urged conservation by every possible method. Military demands, which are in addition to the civilian allocation, are increasing in proportion to increases in personnel, and, too, large supplies soon will be needed to effect a large synthetic rubber program. Officials reiterated an appeal that consumers buy supplies only as needed and gave assurance that if this is done, production will be entirely adequate to meet all needs. o Electrocutes Son Pittsfield, .Mass., Oct. 1. — Evi deuce to support charges that John F. Noxon, Jr., electrocuted his mentally sub-normal infant sou will be presented by the prosecution Friday at a hearing for the socially prominent attorney and World War veteran. Testimony was expected from Miss Theresa Moss, 77, a maid who said she w^as in the kitchen at the time the infant died. A metal tray, radio parts and an extension, cord will be the state’s major exhibits. The Boston Children’s hospital has reported that the baby, six months old Lawrence Noxon, was mentally deficient. Medical examiner Albert C. England found that the child had been electrocuted and said that third degree burns were found on his left arm near his elbow and on the buttocks. The prosecution contends that the elbow burns were caused by contact with the live end of an extension

cord.

From where I.sit

Jfj/ Joe Marsh

One of the best-liked farmers in these parts is Bert Childers! And he has the best way of beatin’ the man shortage, too. Come husking time, Bert invites all of his farmer neighbors over to have a glass of beer. When they ask politely "Where’s the beer?” Bert points to a bucket-full of frosty bottles in the middle of the field. “All you got to do,” he says, “is work your way out to it.” Well, Bert’s idea has caught on all over the countryside.

Folks are pitching in to help their neighbors harvest grain, and fruit, and vegetables — and are taking their reward iu sociability when the job’s done. And from where I sit, that’s a mighty healthy picture of American life —people working together to get in the food this country needs — and afterwards, sittin’ around like good friends, over a moderate glass of wholesome beer. I’m for it!

* “Unreality” is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, Oc-

tober 3.

The Golden Text is: *Tf God be for us, who can be against us” (Romans 8:31)? Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: “Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that, the eveidasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and he weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be wearv; and they shall walk, and not faint” (Isaiah 40:28-31). The Lesson-Sermon also includes I he following passages from the Christian Science textbook,“Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy: “The meaning of that passage is not perverted by applying it literally to moments of fatigue, for the moral and physical are as one in their results. When we wake to the truth of being, all disease, pain, weakness, weariness, sorrow, sin. death will be unknown, and the mortal dream will forever cease” is, 218) c

velopment which, if it comes, will f be revealed at a time determined | to be appropriate in its relation to

war strategy.

The President said he would not be stampeded by press reports into, making announcements about transfers of general officers. But he conceded that information sometimes gains premature currency because about 10 per cent of government personnel constitute

news leaks.

First report that Marshall would he transferred to London to command the European theater appeared here on September 6. It has been current since, accompanied by implications that pressure o.f some kind was being exerted to oust him. The chief of staff, himself, is on record now with an indirect plea to the Congress and the press for fairness in dealing with reports that the personal ambitions of other officers or pressure from British or other sources have any bearing on his own future. Marshall denounced suggestions of disunity in the high command and, in particular, spoke of his confidence in Lieut. Gen. Brehon Somervell, who has been mentioned as a possible

chief of staff,

Marshall told house members, who relayed his sentiments to their colleagues, that reports of disunity in top military levels was damaging the war effort a,nd, furthermore, that they were not true.

STATE UVER TUP IN BONU DRIVE

Eugene l\ii II i a m Announces Results At Evansville

I ies and to make his concluding speech of the Third War Loan Drive.

Evansville, Ind., Oct. 1. — Indiana has over-subscribed its $257,000,090 sales quota in the Third War Loan Drive, stated War Finance Chairman Eugene C. Pulliam informed Secretary of Treasury Henry F. Morgenthau, Jr., today at a huge rally at the Evansville shipyards. “The Hoosiers have done it again,” Pulliam said in introducing the secretary to thousands of war workers during the launching of an invasion barge. Pulliam, however, did not announce a definite figure for Indiana war bond purchases. “It is safe to, say that Indiana has exceeded its goal by several millions of dollars,” the state chairman said. “We are proud to tell you this, Mr. Secretary.” Pulliam pointed out, however, that the state exceeded its quota because corporations and insurance invested heavily in bonds and added that “the quota for individual sales has not been reach-

ed.”

Pulliam also announced that banks and other issuing agencies still were swamped with individual orders, but the state was far short of the $70,000,000 E bond purchase quota. He urged that before Saturday, every Hoosier purchase one “invasion bond.” Morgenthau arrived by plane from Washington for the ceremon-

NATION OVER TOP. Secretary of Treasurer Henry Morgenthau, Jr., announced today that the nation has over-subscribed the $15,000,000,000 Third War Loan, but he appealed to, the home front to purchase more bonds during the next two days. The secretary said that the treasury department had informed him an hour ago that the nation had gone oyer the top in war bond purchases in the drive which ends Saturday midnight. “What happens tomorrow and Saturday will measure for us the patriotism of the American people and mo,re than that, measure for us the nation’s understanding of the principle involved in this war,” Mongenthau said. “We know now why we are fighting. “This is no longer a war of defense, if it ever was such a war! Nor it is any mere war of resistance against aggressors. This war is a struggle between two ways of thought. “The lesson we have in mind for the dictators is that our way of life, our democratic principles can and will be theirs, has crushed them in the past, will blast them this time, will halt them if they ever dare to challenge it again,” Morgenthau said. “Every word, our every deed must reaffirm that our armies are in fact the people’s armies, that the world of our future will he in fact a world for all the people all of the time. “Let us in the long, grim months to come, months which will bring us bad news as well as good, make sure the victory will be ours,” he concluded. ——,——o—-—-— .

Synthetic Rubber Used On State Cars Indianapolis, Oct. 1. — The Indiana Department of Public Safety, after experimenting with 158 synthetic tires on state police automobiles since July 6, announed today that approximately onethird of the total required replacement within 1,500" miles of driving. Don F. Stiver, department head, said the state agency had been conducting the experiment in cooperation with a tire manufacturer because the department has been unable to buy No„ 1 prewar tires and because the tests would aid the manufacturer in solving problems associated with the development and use of synthetic tires. Heat generated by even slightly excessive driving speeds forms blisters and offers the chief difficulty, Stiver said. One tire developed a blister after less than 50 miles of driving. Top mileage of any of the tires has been 9,000 miles. The factory gives the agency— the only state department with a No. 1 priority rating on tires—replacements for all tires which fail to, hold up. o The California conuor battery uses up enough ammunition in one minute of intensive firing to fill a three-ton truck.

Workers Urged to Determine Status Indianapolis, Oct. 1.— Col. Robinson Hitchcock, Indiana Selective Service director, urged Hoosier workers today to determine whether their jabs support the war effort before transferring to more essential employment. Hitchcock said that some local industries had reported that through misunderstanding, workers now in essential jobs have attempted to transfer to other occupations. The draft director explained that any occupation providing necessities for the civilian or military population may be considered as essential and that it was not necessary for workers to be employed directly in the manufacture of planes, tanks, ships or munitians to be considered essential. Hitchcock said that draft boards have been furnished lists of essential activities and would be permitted to, use discretion in classifying workers. He advised Selective Service registrants to stay on necessary jobs unless they were certain they could contribute more to the war effort by transferring. He said that any person who leaves an essential job unnecessarily for another was thwarting the purposes of the War Manpower Commission and the draft boards.
