Oldest Inhabitants Is Latest
Organization to Back
Movement.

The Cleanup week, May to II,
sponsored by the Washington Cham
Der of Commerce, Federation of Citi-
zens' Associations and other groups,
was indorsed last night by the Asso-
citation of Oldest Inhabitants at its
regular monthly meeting in the Old
Union Engine House.
In proposing approval of the Spring
cleanup, Fred A. Emery, who made
the motion, also expressed the hope
that the Chamber of Commerce would
get behind a movement to have the
city plan to do a Winter cleanup"
of snow on the city streets next
Winter.
The campaign was explained to>the
association by William H. Rodda,
chairman of the Chamber of Com
merce Committee. He said the objects
of the movement were to beautify the
city, increase employment, prevent
fires and promote health and sani-
tation.
Benefits Emphasized.
The speaker emphasized the benefit
of beautiful homes and grounds, eS-
pecially at this time of year with
tourists arriving from all points of
the compass. He recommended rid
ding premises of rubbish, ashes. old
newspapers and old clothes. He made
many detailed recommendations as
to what Improvements might be made
in homes, and on behalf of the un-
employed, left with the association
the catch phrase, Say, mister, have
you got a job for us?"

invited the participation of members
OF the association, especially in the
ceremonies at St. Marys City in
June, when will be celebrated the
300th anniversary of landing of the

John Clagett Proctor, vice president
of the association, who was presid-

address on Maryland. He said that
''as a matter of real fact we did
not have real simon pure civil liberty

You will taste the difference as soon as you
try LAND O'LAkES at home. Just imagine
the new delicious Aavor-that new freshness
you'll find in every food-in every meal-with
butter churned from fresh sUeet cream. Think
of the difference between hot toast covered
with sour cream butter and hot toast with
butter churned from fresh sweet-cream.
A NEW KIND OF BUTTER
Until recent years nearly all butter sold COM
mercially was made from sour cream. Butter
makers knew that butter churned from fresh
srOeet-cream had smoother, more appealing
flavor but thought it impractical to make it.
SWeet-cream butter was never made available
all over the country until LAND O'LAKES
was introduced, and today it is the most
popular sweet-cream butter in America.
At our stores today-ask for this sweet
cream butter with the high score. You'll find
the official score on the package.

FARMER LOANS
APPROVED

Directors OF the Southern
Maryland Production Credit As
sociation will approve their first
loans to farmers in their section
at a special meeting called for
Friday at Upper Marlboro, and put
into actual operation the agency
supported by federal funds that is
attempting to loan money freely
to farmers for production pur-
poses.
In its three weeks of prelimin-
Ary operation, majority of the
loan applications have come from
Anne Arundel and St. Mary'S
counties, said Maynard Roberts, of
Marlboro, secretary of the associa-
ton.
Farmers are urged to make their
applications soon so that the board
may pass on them before the
planting season arrives. Loans
are made for general agricultural
purposes, planting, cultivating,
harvesting, and marketing.
Loans are made for a year, for
which the farmer purchases five
per cent of his loan in voting stock,
which may be sold to another bor-
rover or person eligible to bor-
row.

GRAIN CHANGES
PROBE SOUGHT
BYFRAZ|ER
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
International News Servica

lnLefnaLlOnal NeWS SerVlco
A sweeping Senate investigation
Of gambling practices on the grain
exchanges, and on the Chicago
Board of Trade in particular, was
proposed today by Senator Frazier
(R.) of North Dakota, member of
the old Senate farm bloc.
Senator Frazier prepared a reso-
luton for introduction in the Sen
ate authorizing specific investi-
cation to determine "the effect of
operations Ion the exchanges) on
the cost of agricultural commodi-
ties to producers and consumers. I"
He also would have the Agricul-
ture Committee inquire into "the
fluctuations of the market prices
Of such commodities as a result
of gambling and manipulation
upon such exchanges"
Anticipates Approval
He anticipates approval Of the
resolution since the Administra-
ton favored the inquiry into prac-
tices on the New York stock ex-
change.
Senator Frazier declared an
investigation was justified by the
fact that manipulation of prices
on the Chicago Board of Trade
could offset all the benefits of
agricultural relief legislation, spe-
officially, he charged, price fluctua-
tions in wheat had amounted to
from so to go. cents a bushel in
the past year, while the Govern
ment processing tax amounted to
but 80 cents a bushel. AS a result,
he said, wheat spectators could
eliminate all benefits of the tax
to wheat farmers.
His resolution declared the
primary purposes of the Govern
ment's farm relief program were
to increase the prices of agricul-
tural products" He insisted this
program had mo chance of sue
cess so. long as gamblers 'manipu
late the grain markets" He pro,
posed that investigation to learn
whether the farmer could be given
an income Gin parity with his in
come of pre-war days" through
regulation of grain exchanges. He
said:
Farmer Entitled to Know
"The American producer is
entitled to know why he can
not receive an income in parity
with his prewar income, when
that is the purpose of all reme-
dial legislation. Is it because
gamblers on the grain ex-
changes are able to beat down
the price of his product so that
Government relief has no real
effect? The investigation 1
propose will reveal the truth
about grain gamblers and their
control of farm prices"
Senator Frazier intimated the
inquiry would be conducted to
determine whether the grain ex-
changes should be closed and a
substitute governmental agency
created to handle the marketing
of farm products, or whether the
exchange should be placed under
strict Government supervision.

Extension Of the aircraft con-
tract probe to include warship
contracts appeared certain today
as members of the House Naval
Affairs Committee tried to agree
on which subcommittee should be
instructed to conduct the investi-
cation.
Certainty of a searching inquiry
into shipbuilding profits grew
steadily last week as members
became more and more convinced
huge profits had been derived
from airplane contracts. Members
point out the sum to be expended
for ships is seven times as great
as for airplaneS with correspond
ing greater opportunity for profit
taking.
Navy yards have always been
ready and willing to construct
vessels and if private contracts
submitted appeared excessive, the
work always could be turned over
to the yards.

TAX HELD
ECONOMICAL
To COLLECT.
BY CHARLES I. FADDIS
Democratic Representtive From
Pennsylvania

Democratic Representtive From
Pennsylvania
Editors note. This is the Sep
enth article of q series by Rep
reSentdtiUe F1ddiS on the GdDGn-
tGgeS of a general manufacturers
sales tar.
In the opinion Of the writer,
no tax could be proposed which
would better meet the demands
Of conditions than general
manufacturers sales tax. The
idea Of such tax is not new
in this country, or the world for
that matter. Like every other
movement it has its supporters
and it's opponents.
At the present time the prop
osition is probably not favorably
regarded by the majority Of citi-
zens Of this nation. AS has been
stated above, at first glance, it
appears to place the burden Of
taxation upon the less wealthy
classes.
Anyone who believes our pres
ent system of taxation does not
result in the poorer classes pay
ing the taxes in the ultimate,
is misinformed on the situation.
Collection at Source
If a general manufacturers
sales tax succeeded in taxing a
millionaire five hundred dollars
a year, which he could not pass
down; it would accomplish that
much, which has never been ac-
complished before.
A general manufacturers sales
tax is a tax which would be col
lected at the source 1t would
therefore, be an economical tax
to collect. A much smaller per
cent of the tax would go toward
overhead and the people would
feel it less for this reason. Then,
too, owing to our present COM
petition in many cases the manu-
facturers would be forced to alb
sorb a part or even all Of the
tax.
It is also said that it Is such
a fertile means of taxation. that
once started it would never be
abandoned. but would mount
higher and higher each year, and
tend toward extravaganza. This
argument is just as applicable
to any other method of taxation.
They must all be closely watched
to keep them within bounds. On
the other hand. this would be
form of taxation which would
be very easily adjustable to suit
the demands.
Administration Simplified
Another argument which has
been advanced against this tax,
was that we, as a nation, have
always been reluctant to delegate
administrative authority to de-
partmentS.
During the last year we have
taken quite a different attitude
in this respect. It would seem,
therefore, that the administration
of it now could be much SIM
plified.
If a general manufacturers
sales tax were adopted, with a
certain per cent on each product
manufactured; the administra-
ton Of it should be a simple
matter. The budget for the year
could be prepared. The revenue
which the supplementary taxes
would produce could be approx
mately calculated and the per
cent of manufacturers sales tax
established for that year.
If a surplus or deficit resulted,
the per cent could be adjusted
for the following year to take
care of the difference.

WE CONTINUE today our attack
W on the vicious review of Grace
Hutchins' book, which appeared
few Sundays ago in the New York
Herald-Tribune.
The reviewer speaks of Women
Who Work" as a book designed to
draw supporters to Communism;
the same reviewer obviously has no
understanding Of or sympathy for
Communism. Then why does he or
she say it is rather pity" that
the book defeats itself?" This is
hypocrisy at its most nauseating.
Further, if "the facts are
significant and important" how can
their "hone structure" become soft"
through any manner of presenta-
tion?" A fact is a fact, isn't it?
How can the hard core of a fact be
rendered soft through manner of
presentation" 1t strikes us that
the bone structure of such book
reviewing is essentially soft to begin
with, regardless of manner OF
presentation.
Try as we will we can find none
of the highly emotional, highly
biased language" described by the
reviewer, and can only come to the
conclusion that in the hasty anxiety
to find fault with Communism
sympathetic book the reviewers
looked for faults with mirror in
CT Of TIo
The attempt to find contradic-
tions in the book are equally futile
and sickening. Capitalism draws
more and more young girls and
women into industry: under Com
munism they remain in industry.
SO WHAT? Where's the contradic-
ton? Grace Hutchins spent whole
chapter explaining the vastly diff
ferent conditions under which they
function in industry under Social
ism or Communism, and under capi-
talism. Remarks such as made by
the reviewer show one Of two things:
that the reviewer simply did not
read the book or that deliberate
and malicious attempt was made to
manufacture contradictions where
none exist.
What is funny about every cook
learning to run the government, and
where is that inconsistent with the
fact that under capitalism farm
wives have to work like horses?
When cooks will have learned to
run the government, cooks will have
short hours, decent conditions and
wages, so never fear they will be
cverworked!
As for the fact the steel manu-
1acturers took the steel out of the
corsets of American women because
steel was needed for war purposes
how is one naieve to believe that?
The statement was made on the
authority of reports in the Wall
Street Journal, which after all
should know bit about the steel
business.
I well remember how the styles
in corsets suddenly changed after I
had fought steadily for two or three
years against the determined paren-
tai attempts to put me into those
s5eel-stayed cages, customary for
women for centuries. I remember
further that light-colored stockings,
which had always been anathema
to the "well-dressed" gal, also sud-
denly were popularized during the
