FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 1944 LITTLE BIG SHOTS Just one more example, if it is needed, of the way bureau­ cracy works, has come-to light in Washington. Farmers are complaining that some of them are forced to join the Agricul tural Adjustment Agency program or else be denied draft de­ ferments or gasoline priorities, . . . This shakedown, of course, is-not general. Certainly it is not official. The AAA higher-ups in Washington probably knew nothing about it. As a matter of fact, they’ have hurried to • state that the practice is contrary to AAA regulations, and ,pol- " icy. • • What has happened is that some little big shots in some counties have been so impressed by their position -that they have taken it on themselves to issue orders. In their zeal to carry out the AAA program they have' overstepped their bounds. That, unfortunately, is the trouble with a centralized bu­ reaucracy. 'The long tenacles of the octopus reach down into every nook and corner of the country. Thousands of baby bu­ reaucrats lord it over the public and make up their own rules The whole thing has gotten out of hand, with the result tha the Ideal gauleiters have adopted the dictator methods of the Civil War carpetbaggers. The AAA racket is only one instance of a growing disease There are others. And they are a big reason why America should seek a change. Eleven years of little big shots are enough, unless this country wants to stop trying to be a democ­ racy. ‘ Cincinnati Times-Star < s H e • by • Dublin Do not trade horses in jnid-stream-- Sijik,- swim or perish. That is the-al­ ternative to the war situation, while we ride a “ dead' horse, the New Deal." One day we are winning the war, the next we are. losing it. . One day we get news of how many German planes are shot down and how few o f our pilots that escape a prison camp. In givirg the prison camp population we find more and more of our men held an German soil. Then we read . news that 410 of our boys’ were shot down by our.own jtroops, eight months- ago. Monday we read that 14 other service men on the Pacific are shot down by American soldiers .Tuesday we find our bombers dropping bombs on our good neighbors in Switzerland We do not lay all the blame .on our officers. The ti'ouhle is the double headed, Churehill-Roosevelt, plan­ ning, a thing that should be left with Gen. Marshall and his staff. A Hyde Park Squire commanding an army that is 3,000 miles away. Yet we hear—; “ Don’t trade horses in mid stream." We are not sure the Times-Star has made a very coirtpletc- survey as to the part the “ Little Big Shots*' have played in the charge the AAA used underhanded methods to sign up farm­ ers to the New Deal political agency while ladeling out gaso­ line. The same charge had been made about draft deferments among farm boys. Those who put their name on the Roosevelt AAA contract might not have been conscious of what all they were signing. , '■ In discussing the AAA-gasoline topic with numerous folks it seems there were two separate sheets of paper, ope for gaso­ line and one for the AAA compliance. By clever maneuvering -it was no trouble to get two signatures unless the signor read each blank carefully; The average, person seeking gasoline -for farm use probably thought of'nothing else and signed just where arid when he was told. * In as much as John Cunningham, Dean of Agriculture at O. S. U.,headed a petition protesting AAA methods, w.e won­ der if he was not aware that by signing two papers of different colors he was signing for the AAA at the same time he was a sk ­ ing for gasoline rations for farm use. Probably the “.black- market” talk about gasoline was. the method used to keep the farmer from being /overly interested in ,what he was sighing. . Now that a lot of farmers have signed up for gasoline, it Will be interestingxto learn just how many were innocently sign­ ing up for the AAA. Search your memory. You may belong tc something where the principals say. n o '. New Deal Tammany methods were used to.get farmers to sign. up. Under a receni ruling, if AAA county boards even used the above method o! getting your signature, there is a way you can get it off with out much trduble. The House has written a protection in a bill to cover such acts. AAA board members or those of any, other board or bureau doing the same thing must be cut off the pay roll. This action has fired the anger of AAA board members, which accounts probably for the protest letter of Mr. Mason to Congressman Clarence J. Brown, who was prominent in uncov­ ering such tricks being practiced on farmers. If you have been tricked in signing tip for the AAA innocently,, write to Cong. Brown at once and give him the details. World politics, is first with both Roosevelt and Churchill, and each is jealous and suspicious of the other. The British ,are whooping things up ‘reelect Roosevelt’’ among the Amer- "can forces. England wants our lend- lease terms revised and is sending i .■bmmission over. We are now furnish­ ing men and money for ,the army to invade Europe.' We'hear much about .vhat is ahead o f our boys but we are not being told what is to be expected of Britain’s boys/in the invasion. Are we to risk crossing the stream or. am old nag reported dead, or shall we ride a'fresh horse with new life and ?i new purpose—win the war first and settle, world politics later. Yet we hear, that hollow mockery, “ Don’t Tradji Horses—”, siona are packed with relatives o f Roosevelt backers. Tha manpower policy-^s as uncertain as our foreign ppliey,. Onp day McNutt is for con­ scription of labor-and the next he is against it; Tiie Selective Service has a problem in the- 4-F- boys. How to use them if they are called for duty. It is also proposed to take able farm boys and then regiment the 4-F .(disability) and assign them to farmers for .labor on farm at a price to be fixed by the government. The 4-F lad would only get his $60 a month and overalls and farm board. A new problem comes up on this and how can any government other than under dictatorship com­ pel a draftee to do private work. How can the government legally collect a certain sum per day for this labor and only pay the draftee army pay ? ■Under our present form of dictator­ ship it can probably be done. That is what Stalin, Hitler and Mussolini arc charged *vith doing. CONGRESS SHOULD MAKE PUBLIC AAA DOINGS Following events the past week; the complaints of the many thousands of farmers as to their treatment from the AAA of­ ficials. Congress should nyake a thorough house cleaning. The public has lost all confidence in the work of the bureau frpm top to bottom. The many conflicting reports eminating from Washington proves some one has given orders to local boards to carry out the regimentation or dictatorial plans. If not the local boards are guilty of malfeasance'in office and should be removed and penalized- If the trouble is in Washington then impeachment is-in order. Last week it was testified before a federal trade'commission that a Cap­ itol liquor company had sent five cases of bourbon whisky to 'f General Eisenhower in London. It was argued One of the best cures for aH-rsueh^-boa-r-dfli- and the entire --*heHiquoAvatr:ar-gifi-—some— one-h government being directed on the Hitler-Stalin line, would be for Congress to make'public all transactions , The AAA is a government‘agency supported financially from the income tax dollar and for that reason each man or woman that pays one cent of income taxes should know how his money is spent and for what purpose and who receive it. The continued cry a-, mong farmers about favoritism, the manner in which farm ma- chinery has been rationed, the farm control plan and the milk subsidy ail should be made public', or at least open to any one who wants to know. Under the Roosevelt- Wallace, dictatorship the AAA is a closed political institution. Every effort is made to line up farmers directly or indirectly for the New Deal. The farm deferment situation also needs airing, some reports in cir­ culation being the basis of a federal grand jury, investigation " All of these reports should be proven correct or false and the public given the truth which it is entitled to and not getting under the present management in any county. If Congress will call a lot of these AAA members to Washington with records and made to face the written complaints, the public could then have some idea'of the truth or falsity of the charges. Whether the AAA plan is acceptable is not the question now, The in­ come tax payer is entitled to know how his money, is used. Con­ gress should let more day-light in on the AAA management. Men and Women Needed for Factory and Office Work Frigidaire has many-attractive openings in factory and office departments foi’ both men and women. There are many jobs available on top-priority airplane parts production. There are also attractive openings on essen­ tial refrigerator repair parts production.

F R I G I D A I R Division of General Motors Employment Offices— 300 Taylor Street, Dayton The “ Doq’t Ti-ade Anthem” comes from the three million or more op the government pay roll eating up your income taxes and • advocating still higher taxes. It is the chant of the , ;cores of “ A-B-C” bureaus, the AAA ind the XYZ’s, fighting to retain .heir meal ticket at your expense. The scare raised by -Postmaster General Walker about sending ballots to our men anil women in service ov- jr-seas is nothing but an excuse to .‘vnde a law-Roosevelt would not sign because it would put the voting under the directing of each state instead of administration stooges and no guar-, jntee of a fair count. The New Deal does not want, the soldiers to vote. It makes little ' difference' whether we have a-law or not.- Under war time powers Roosevelt can, if he chooses, refuse to recognize any law. It will be up to him to order* the ballots de­ livered and order aripy and navy of­ ficers to protect the voting. If he does not do that it will prove his own plan that congress rejected was not on the square. ■■ '. The New Deal Supreme Court de­ cision this week when negroes were given the right to vote in Texas, and this means in all Southern states, is going to put Mr. - Roosevelt on the spot politically^ He has blown hot and cold' on the -issue but never used his executive.powers to see that the .“ lilly whites” south o f the Mason and Dixon line ^ave the negroes their con­ stitutional rights. The decision in. its- self will mean1nothing if the south does not want to recognize it. The states can set their own standard of requirement o f all voters, white, or black. The states can do away with the primary election and return to the old convention method. Here the negro can and will be barred. In as much as the south is Democratic it is up to Mr. Roosevelt to see that his party' becomes law abiding. Will he do it? He will not! , ' Republicans look upon the-Supreme Court decision as something that will reflect itself ip ,the coming election; Do hot be surprised if it does not be­ come an issue rfi the Democratic con­ vention, The southern delegation will demand to know what their Chief- proposes 'to do about negro voting. If there is.to be equality it shoukl-be in a military camp or on the battle­ field. Stories we get as to the treat­ ment of colored, soldiers in southern camps- border on what would be. ex­ pected in the days following the Civil War. The soldier in uniform,' who of­ fers h is-life-for his country, is still the “ nigger” as in slave days. In sev­ eral southern camp communities the colored soldiers are not permitted to go to town unless in a body for fear of lynching.^ They are not welcomed in southern stores. They are not per­ mitted to talk to other Southern coU ored folks on of . off- the post.- The white southern officer' does not al­ ways recognize the rank of the color­ ed lieutenant or even captain. He is often addressed as follows: . “Here nigger, addressing a captain, bring out your niggers” . The negro is not going to get to vote in the south. If he does Franklin D. Roosevelt never will get a southern delegation in the Democratic convention. It is generally known the South.is now urging Sen. Byrd of Virginia to be a candidate for the presidential nomination a- gaihst FDR. • the war department gave the neces­ sary priority for it was- sent by plane at a time the New. Dealers were tell­ ing the American motorists that we had a shortage of gasoline. It is es­ timated the weight of the liquor ship­ ment would be more than all the state ballots would be for two divisions of cur soldiers. The waste of this gaso­ line was no different than the jaunt the White House gadding mamma en­ joyed recently to the Caribbean Is­ lands. Maybe there has been an over supply of American liquor among our officers which resulted in’ giving or­ ders, tlint cost the live of 410 soldiers with American bullets. Should we or sh >uld we not “ trade horses in mid- stieam? Dead Soldiers and drunken officers will hardly win any war. It is up,to those who sifig the praise of the New Deal to do the explaining.

The simplest method of free­ ing the birds from such parasites is to paint a reliable nicotine prepara­ tion on the roosts about a half hour before roosting time. Then be cer­ tain all the birds are on the roosts, because if a few lice escape the en­ tire flock will become reinfested. ,The greatest losses from infectious colds are loss of body Weight and. egg production. If the disease oc­ curs, you may first notice that a few birds remain on the'roosts most of the day or particularly in the after­ noon when grain is hand-fed. The in­ fected individuals., should be re­ moved from the flock if possible. Check the litter and if it is top wet remove it and add a deep, dry jitter. If it is only damp add about an inch of dry litter to the top of it a;hd stir it-every few days. Do ev­ erything possible tp keep the birds eating at top pitch. The use of a moist mash at noon, or the feeding of mash pellets will- help.

Either keep • the litter stirred; or feed grain in the litter so. that the birds stir it sufficiently. This built- up litter is one guarantee against unnecessarily cold floors which cause lowered egg production. Cull the birds frequently and reg­ ularly. This practice conserves crit­ ical feedstuffs, provides more floor space per bird, tends to lower mor­ tality, and raises percentage of egg production. Take out the birds which aren’t contributing their share to your pocketbook and the war effort. The best method to conserve fowl paralysis is to remove any lame birds and those with gray eyes (pro­ viding the pupils are irregular in outline). If disease occurs,, act promptly and get an accurate diagnosis. Be certain that casualties are promptly disposed of by burning them, or burying deep enough so that dogs cannot dig them up. Plant Cover Crops Vegetable growers will find the -fall a favorable time to sow cover crops, either after an early market orop has been removed or just be­ fore the last cultivation of a late market crop, H. R. Cox, extension agronomist at Rutgers university, says. Being a nitrogen gatherer, hairy vetch is one of the best of the win­ ter cover crops, It will return to the spilt when plowed down next spring, the equivalent of several hundred pounds per acre of nitrate of soda.
