It must make accurate reports to its 60,000 shareholders, must know whether it is making or losing money. And then, at the end of the year the company must make accurate statements of the year’s results to the United States Government for income tax returns as well as for other purposes. Persons not connected with the management of Swift & Company go over its books and check the accuracy of the figures from which Swift & Company’s financial reports and income tax returns are prepared.

WHO AND WHY VJEW POINT Opposition To Fourth Term Explanation Needs Psychology By ARTHUR SHULTS According to a well established rule of science nothing “just happens,” everything is governed by and is the result of what is known as “cause and effect.” You often overhear someone remark that “it was a pure downright accident” or that “it just couldn’t have been helped,” and you so accept both of these declarations as authentic and final not realizing perhaps that the theory of accident is little members of society as a short-cut to the disposition of something mare than a delusion adopted by which they know of but know nothing about. If we place any confidence in those great characters who introduced us to the vast subjects known as psychology and psychoanalysis we must conclude that at no time do we as living creatures entertain certain thoughts or perform any definite acts without first having a reason for so doing. The reason might be perfectly clear to ourselves and also to an outsider, and we might not even hesitate for a moment to let it be known, or it may be known only to ourselves and to no one else, and it can also have its origin deep into the subconscious mind, the presence of which has either been completely forgotten by the person or he had never been fully aware of its existence. Therefore no man ever thinks so-and-so or does this-and-that unless there first be a reason, the presence of which can be in the conscious or the sub-conscious mind. He may tell you that his reason is thus, this or that for purposes of deception, and he may also be actually deceiving himself—he might even believe his own conscious mind

and yet his subconscious mtnd may reveal something entirely different and foreign to that which was advanced as constituting the true reason. Excuses are often quickly advanced as reasons too, the speaker or actor wishing to deceive others into accepting as authentic that which does not exist. In order to understand to the fullest extent the political picture as we will witness it for the year 1944, fully comprehend what is known as the “opposition to the fourth term,” assuming of course that the president will run again— we will need the aid of a little practical psychology. It’s not altogether an easy task but as the most of us have become accustom ed to difficulties in life I think the average man has learned by now how to handle each situation as it arises and do so with a minimum amount of mental and physical strain. By no means should one assume that the opponents of the fourth term idea to be found under a single and common classification. They vary considerably and are to be found in separate and distinct groups even though their goal is the same. Nor are they birds of a feather, ea,ch group being quite foreign to all others save the ultimate objective. The members of Group No. 1 are of the type who are forever seeking greener pastures. They are never satisfied with what they’ve got and when it comes to politics they always prefer the “outs” to the “ins”. They advance np concrete alibis for their state of mind; having merely fallen victim to the “change” complex through a long series of disappointments that have become lodged into the subconscious mind. They are not exactly selfish and seldom have any real ulterior motives. Those belonging to Group No. 2 differ somewhat from those above. They are less honest and sincere in their arguments. Having once more regained their position in society they now feel safe to dispose of their masks and appear in their true and natural light. They pro-

claim the “fourth term” as their reason for the turn-about-face but a look into their subconscious mind would reveal the presence cf a natural hate for their benefactor. Like the jackass, having been lifted to his feet, is now ready to kick the one who aided him. In Group No. 3, and the last group, are to be found the easiest ones of all to analyze. Their position is entirely too clear and obvious to need any explaining. They are against the “fourth term” of course, and why shouldn’t they be? They were likewise “against” the third term, the second term and even the first term. They are the class who benefits the most when the nations is suffefing great panics and depressions. Being the only ones who really have any money they r can buy up everything at' their own price and have the underdog at their mercy at all times. Of course this group is against Roosevelt. He rescued the man on the street from the clutches of plutocracy and made him self-respecing. That’s treason in any financier’s eye. It’s not the fourth term this class is againt, it’s Roosevelt. So if you are opposed to the fourth term that’s both your business and your privilege, but be honest about it and tell your neighbor which one of these groups you rightfully belong FOUND GUILTY OF VICE VIOLATION Gary Man Once Freed From Prison To Be Sentenced March 27

Hammond, Ind., March ly.—Eugene Sullivan, 32, once freed from prison by the suicide note of a soldier to a judge, today faced sentencing on March 27 for operating what the prosecution had called “the most vicious vice ring ever to operate in Lake 4 county.” The son of a former Gary policeman was found guilty of violating the Mann, white slave act by Judge Luther M. Swygert yesterday in federal court. Miss Dena Coffman and 19 others were indicted on the charge of a Lake county grand jury. Lake County Prosecutor Charles W. Gannon told the grand jury that the vice ring was “the largest and most vicious ever to operate in the country.” Indictments against the others are still pending except for Miss Coffman. She was released upon the request of federal authorities so that she could, testify in federal proceedings against Sullivan without incriminating herself. Sullivan was released from prison a few months ago after having served four months of a two to 21 1 year sentence for a holdup when

a soldier committed suicide leaving a note confessing that he committed the robbery of the Crown Point offices of the Northern Indiana Public Service company. The vice charges were brought after authorities investigated the story of Miss Marie Faultz of Elkton, Wis., who claimed that when her child was born, Sullivan gave Miss Coffman’s name as its mother. Miss Faultz said she escaped to Wisconsin with the child but that Sullivan and Miss Coffman traced her and filed action to obtain custody of the child. Miss Coffman testified that her story was true. She also admitted being an inmate of houses of ill fame in Benton Harbor, Mich., Gary, East Chicago and South Bend and taking trips to those points with Sullivan. HEARING HELD ON DEFERMENTS

May Recommend Legislation To Ban All Deferments Under 26 Washington, March 16. — The house military affairs committee resumed hearings on draft deferments today with the possible intention of recommending legislation to ban all deferments for men under 26. Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, selective service director, toolc a step in this direction last night by directing local draft boards to refuse to defer men in the 18-25 age bracket unless it is recommended by state or national headquarters. Chairman John M. Costello, D., Calif., of a military affairs subcommittee on deferments, announced that Col. Francis V. Kessling, Hershey’s congressional liaison officer, would be called to testify, and chairman Andrew J. May, D., Ky., of the full committee, said he may introduce a bill prohibiting deferments for “any man between 18 and 26.” Citing reports that War Manpower Chief Paul V. McNutt and War Production Board Chairman Donald M. Nelson were alarmed over the tightened deferment policy toward young men in industry, May said he would fight any effort to defer non-fathers if it meant drafting of more fathers. “Apparently the idea is to keep these young non-fathers in industry and put the older men — the fathers—into uniform,” May said. Hershey’s new order was interpreted as an attempt to slow down drafting of fathers over 25, and at the sfffme time to prevent indiscriminate drafting of younger men in key positions in industry. Effective immediately, Hershey £aid, no registrant 18 through £5may be considered as a necessary man for occupation^ deferment unless state or national selective service headquarters recommends

it.

Ft. Sheridan Fire Kills 2 Soldiers Fort Sheridan, 111., March ly. — Two soldiers were burned to death and three others were injured when fire of an undetermined origin swept through a temporary barracks at Ft. Sheridan early yesterday, causing damage estimated at $100,000, public relations officers reported today. The dead were listed as M-Sgt. William A. Lee, 50, (27 Farnham St.), Fall River, Mass., and T-Sgt. Guy S. Bleistein, 45, (607 W. Washington St), St. Petersburg, Va. Lee, a veteran of 20 years service, is survived by his mother, Mrs. Emma L. Lee. Bleistein, who enlisted in May, 1917, is survived by a widow and one child. Both men awaiting transfer from the 167nd

Subsidy Program Is Commended Washington, March 16.—The Office of Price Administration this week will recommend a $50,000,000 to $75,000,000 a year subsidy program to encourage continued production from “Stripper” oil wells unable to operate under present ceiling prices, it was learned today. Sumner Pike, OPA fuel price director, said the program, under study for two months, would be formally presented to stabilization director Fred M. Vinson within a few days. , Under the program, present ceiling prices for oil would not be changed but- operators of low-yield stripper wells would have their higher operating costs covered by receiving government premiums based on percentages of the present ceilings. Similar subsidies already are being paid producers of copper and other vital war mater-

ials.

Pike said the scale of percentages for premiums had not been completed but that they would be “somewhere on the lines”, of those mentioned yesterday by Rep. Leon H. Gavin, R., Pa.—30 per cent over ceiling for strippers producing five barrels or less per day; 20 per cent for six barrels; and 10 per cent for seven barrels. Vinson’s approval of the subsidy program probably would go a long way toward meeting oil industry demands for a direct raise of 35 cents a barrel in the ceiling price of crude oil for all types of producers. According to Pike, the price increases, to be taken care of by government payments, will range from around $3 a barrel fo;- certain Pennsylvania wells to 65 cents a barrel for certain Wyoming wells. He estimated that up to 12,000 old wells are abandoned each year because the yield is not sufficient to cover costs. The quality of oil from old wells is not inferior to oil from flush wells. o — Legal Notice

You hear a lot of talk about morale these days ... but have you found many people who knew exactly what “morale” was? Well, I was thumbing through my scrap book the other day, and I came on this verse I’d like to pass on to you... It’s the lift yon get from a friendly smile... A brand new hat in a jaunty style.., A letter from home that the postman brings... Morale is a lot of little things.

an occaslbnarrefreshing glass of beer with friends. From where I sit, if we take care to preserve these little friendly things that boost morale, we’ll be doing a lot to help our country in its time of crisis. And we’ll boost morale among our soldiers at the front, too. Because it’s these “important little things” that they look forward to returning to.

Isn’t it so? Morale is just a lot of little things. A flower in your button hole, a word of greeting,

Men Suspended At Ford Co. Plant

Washington, March 16. — HepMotor Co., said today it had discharged 1 man and suspended 10 others for participating in a disturbance in which 250 men des-’ troyed property in the aircraft building labor relations office Wednesday. The action, taken in the presence of high officials of the United Automobile Workers (CIO), came shortly after R. J. Thomas, inter-

national president of the union, wrote officers of Ford local 600 demanding “drastic and effective action” against leaders of the riot and those responsible for a walkout in the Production Foundry Tuesday. It was Thomas’ first crack-down on wildcat strikes since the UAWCIO’s international executive board adopted a stringent policy against unauthorized stoppages last month. The company said six plant committeemen were among those dismissed. The 10 employes suspended “pending further investigation” included five committeemen.
