| Missourian Tells of Promise *

To Make His Farm Yield 30 Per Cent Profit.

CHICAGO, June 3 (U. P)— Charles Smith, 69, farmer from the “Show Me” state of Missouri, was skeptical when officers of the

Universal Order of Plenocrats en-| |i

visioned 30 per cent profits from his farm. He told them to “have another vision.” Mr. Smith, from Niangua, Mo, testified in federal court yesterday as against five officers of the Plenocrat organization, who are charged with using the mails to defraud and with violation of the securities and exchange act. He said he was approached in the fall of 18868 by C. Franklin Davis, secretary-treasurer of the Plenocrats, and Justis Chancellor Sr.. Chicago attorney, both defendants. Mr. Smith told the court he'd already lost his farm on a mortgage foreclosure a year before “but 1 listened to them.”

But He Came Back

“Mr. Davis told me.” he testified “that he'd had a vision, and the Plenocrats would take over the farm and let me operate it on what they called a ‘scientific basis’ Mr Davis told me the farm should

all my life and it couldn't be done. I said, ‘Mr. Davis, you better go away and have another vision” But Mr. Davis returned. “This time” said Mr. Smith, “he told me he had bought the place from the bank for $7500. and I stayed on to operate it for the Plenoccrats. I proved what I told Davis in the beginning. Their realization for 1937 was just $37.50. The farm went into receivership later, Mr. Smith said, and he remained to work it for the receiver.

‘An Organizing Racket’

He reminded the members that the union laws provide they must not recognize a picket line unless authorized to do so by the international union. “The so-called picket line, since the passage of the Wagner act, in many instances can be honestly called an organizing racket that isn’t founded on legitimate trade unionism,” said Mr. Tobin. He said he realized that many of their unions have clauses in cons tracts which provide it would net be a violation of the agreement to refuse to deliver goods where there is labor trouble.

‘That Clause Must Be Set Aside’

“But let me say now, unless the international union orders you not to go through picket lines, that clause must be set aside during the period of the war” Mr. ‘Tobin warned. “Bven in non-defense industries every means within your power should be used before you stop work.” Mr. Tobin described an incident in the Middle West where an A.

20 FRONT TALK WORRIES NAZIS

Axis Radio Warnings Show Germans Expect Early

Invasion Attempt.

By HELEN KIRKPATRICK Copyright, 1942, by The Indianapolis Times and The Chicago Daily News. Inc. $ONDON, June 3—The size and weight of royal air force attacks, the number of American troops in the British Isles and the type of their equipment, combined with popular demands for a second front appear to have & convinced the §& Germans that an attempted landing may be made on the European continent during the § next few months. The Germancontrolled Paris radio broadcast a warning to the i French people that such an in- Miss Kirkpatrick vasion would be repelled. The broadcast, which began as a warning of the consequences to the French population if they joined allied expeditionary forces, ended with the conclusion that such an invasion would be really impossible. | First the Germans admitted that “important” United States reinforcements of troops and materials had reached the British isles lately.

Need Million Men

It was added that the R. A. F. had become a “very strong air force, thanks to American industry.” This air force would prepare the opening for a second front and then support troop landings, the French were told. No mention was made of an imminent American air offensive against Europe. The Germans stated that it would take 1,000,000 men to make an effective landing on the Dutch or French coast and in the view of the German general staff the British have not sufficient ships, particularly aircraft carriers. They conceded that there was sufficient shipping to land 50.000 men.

Fighters Increase Range

Despite the successful escape of the Nazi battleships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau to their home bases, the Germans must be aware of the folly of taking capital ships in narrow channel waters, particularly highly vulnerable aircraft carriers. It was *only possible for them to take those ships through the channel by giving them a formidable escort of small craft, both anti-sub-marine and anti-aircraft, and umbrellas of airplanes. Similarly, it can be assumed that a landing would be made on the continent within fighter range of Britain. The development of fighters is constantly increasing their range. These points were not, however, mentioned in the broadcast. The

Taxpayers Pay

By FRED W. PERKINS Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, June 3 —A large number of governmental brass hats of non-war agencies ride around Washington in publicly provided automobiles. Their tires and gasoline are provided at the taxpayers’ expense. And 31 of them also have private chauffeurs on the official payroll. This was shown today in a census completed by the joint congressional committee on non-essential expenditures, of which Senator Byrd of Virginia is chairman. That number is not all, by any means, for the census did not include the White House, the congressional establishment, the war and navy departments, nor the sprawling agencies under the office of emergency management and the war production board. Every cabinet member has a publicly provided private chauffeur, and one of them (Treasury Secretary Morgenthau) has two, working on a double shift. Others charged with just one chauffeur as well as just one car are Secretaries Wickard of agriculture, Jones of commerce (see below), Ickes of interior, Biddle of justice, Perkins of labor, Walker of postoffice and Hull of state. 2 n

Two Cars for Jones

JESS JONES, as secretary of commerce, has a 1940 Buick sedan with an $1800 chauffeur. But as administrator of the federal loan agency he is credited or charged with a Cadillac limousine, with a driver also at $1800. : Among the minor officials enjoying these perquisites the most puzzling case appears to be that of the three members of the railroad retirement board — Murray W. Latimer, M. R. Reed and Lee M. Eddy. Bach has a private car (a couple of Buicks and a Pontiac) and each has a publicly-paid driver, one with an annual salary of $1320 and two at $1500. The railroad retirement board has just been moved to Chicago. The members presumably took

Set Traps for Leaders

Of course the British would then say—the Paris radio added—that no attempt had been made to oe! a second front but that they had merely raided the French coast. This broadcast is considered sig= nificant here and confirms reports that the Germans are uneasy lest a landing be made. { Apparently, every attempt is being made now by the Germans to root out potential allied support on the continent. Bxecutions and arrests continue in every area. Traps are being laid to bring into the open the leaders of French resistance so as to eliminate them before an allied attack could develop.

BELLEVILLE, Ontario, June 3 (U. P)—Two entomologists sat in the swamplands of Hastings county today, letting mosquitoes bite them. Their task was to find a mosquito repellent for allied troops in the Far Bast, who are exposed to malaria and yellow fever bearing mosquitoes of that region. The entomologists, Graham Mackay and H. A. U. Munroe of Ottawa, exposed their arms to the mosquitoes but covered the rest of their bodies with nets and rubber gloves. Repellents of various types were rubbed on their arms and the reaction of the mosquitoes to each was carefully noted.

Christians Fighting Back In Nazi War Against Church

Germany with undiminished vigor, but the church still fights back, and will be an important source of anti-Nazi strength in the eventual overthrow of Hitler.
