He ran into difficulty because the truck with which he was hauling these prisoners from Camp McClellan was about worn out. When his truck situation was called to the attention of the authorities at Camp McClellan, where there were some 400 abandoned trucks, he was told that the army would cooperate fully with him in trying to remedy his situation, as the army no longer had any use for these trucks. f These trucks however, had been turned over to the treasury de. partment for disposal and the farmer at once proceeded to get possession of one of them.

tained the approval of the OPA in the nearby city. His application was approved by the agricultural adjustment agency and by the office of defense transportation. He appeared to have clear sailing until his application went up to the office of emergency management in Washington. There he was promptly turned down, with the suggestion that he renew his application after the expiration of three months. Asa result he had to abandoned the operation of his 1500 acre farm, although 400 trucks stood idle at Camp McClellan. The irony of this amazing situation was emphasized by the fact that on tne same day that the owner of the farm received notice of the rejection of his application for a truck, he received! a letter from the department ofi agriculture, through his county agent, urging him to put forth maximum effort in the production of food, c “Every farm person in mn: country,” said the letter, “has a real responsibility to do an important work for our great cause the American way of living”. Because the farmer could not have a truck, to haul the German prisoners to work ; on his farm, not only was the production of foodstuffs abandoned, but two carloads of pulp wood which he had cut, he was unable to haul to town because of the lack of a truck In this predicament of the Alabama farmer we see the endless detail and complicated workings of the new deal bureaucratic government. Similar instances are happening all over the country and seriously reducing the production of foodstuffs, the supreme need of the hour, as well: as interfering with other produc-| tion efforts to relieve emergency! situations in other fields. This Alabama farmer had a herd of! 250 beef cattle, which he was i conditioning for market. His only i recourse was to sell off his herd' of cattle and give up raising i cattle at a time when beef is of tremendous importance. It all goes to show that there is a need of some common sense somewhere in our government machinery to eliminate such as-' tounding and alarming futility j frcm being practiced by those! who are shaping our agricultural policies. It is no wonder that the farmers generally throughout the country have turned against the mw deal. MORE CONFUSION Morganthau and Roosevelt have tossed in 17 New Deal tax bills! since March 4, 1933. The ink! was hardly dry on one measure' before another was started' through the legislative mill.! These tax bills have been piled, one on top of the other until the; whole structure is top heavy.! Now, the President is trying to | push it over on Congress. | Listen to what Congressman: Daniel A. Reed (Rep., N- Y.) has! to say alftmt this: -r> W " “I wish to call attention to the ■rapidity with which the New Deal under its loose fiscal policies has each year increased the tax load, and how at the same time; it has increased the national ! debt by its annual deficits.

HELLCATS TAKE ZEROS

Somewhere in the Pacific Official U. S. Navy Photograph In the recent smashing attack on Wake Island, one of the first brushes whic hthe powerful Hellcats, shown in action at the top above, have had with Jap Zeros, the score was 30 to nothing in favor of the U. S. planes. The two girls in the lower picture, using tiny flashlights, are making a final inspection of a 2,000 horsepower P. & W. supercharged aircraft engine at the Kenosha, Wis., plant of Nash-Kelvina-tor. This motor will be wrapped and boxed and then be on its way to become the fighting heart of a Navy Hellcat like those shown above in flight “Somewhere in the Pacific”. Each of these engines contains more than 12,000 pieces —and they must fit together with tolerances of practically “minus or plus nothing”. In a Navy Day Itelepgram to employees who build these special engines for the Hellcat and Corsair fighter planes, Rear Admiral Ramsey thanked the workers and urged them to keep the engines coming. At odds of 30 to nothing these engines are mighty profitable war products and make good hunting for our fliers.

“Chips” famous War Dog Hero being “reviewed” by Gen. Eisenhower will be allowed to fcpep his decorations War Department officials have announced, but in the future medals will be awarded only to humans. “Chips” is the hero of dogs provided for service by Dogs for Defense. These dogs are highly trained for both homefront and battle service. Major General Edmund B. Gregory, Army Quartermaster General, recently congratulated owners of dogs supplied for service, and said that advances made with dehydrated dog food have made it possible to provide energy for Army dogs without relying on foods where quantities are limited. Dehydrated food has also helped to solve the feeding problem for American pets, many of which are going into service, and are proving to be “man’s best friend” on the battle fronts of the world.

- Somewhere in England The Flying Fortress shown here has been forced down in an English fanner’s oat field. It will soon be on the wing again, as it was quickly reached by a mobile repair unit. lln the background is a N trailer made in the United States, equipped with a complete repair shop.. The crew of this mobile repair unit consists of about eighteen men, usually twelve soldiers of the U, S. Forces and six American technicians. While this crew handles the repairs from the Fruehauf Trailer traveling headquarters, an engineering outfit is constructing a temporary runway so that as soon as the Fortress is repaired/it will be able to taka off and rejoin its squadron.
