WASHINGTON, Sept. 4 - Add
SPAB to the list of government
alphabetical agencies pasted in
your hat. 1t stands for Supply Pri-
critics and Allocations board, and
if more aid can be given China,
Great Britain, Soviet Russia &
Co. by throwing initials at them,
the war my be over sooner than you
think.
SPAB, as a matter of fact, looks
pretty good to Washington as a So
luton to some-not all-of the
troubles that have beset OPM and
the defense effort in the last nine
months.
Creation of this new seven-man
priorities boafc by the Presidents
latest re-shuffling order-it is not
a full reorganization-can be hailed
or damned as New Deal victory,
Just as you Ike. Three of the board
members-Vice President Wallace,
who is chairman, Leon Henderson,
and Harry Hopkins-are out-and-out
Roosevelt men. Sidney Hillman rep
resents labor on the conservative
side, but is pro-administration. Sec
retaries Stimson and Knox, eX-Re-
publicans IN the cabinet, have new
ertheless shown their colors and
sounded off their big guns so openly
as to leave no doubt about where
they stand. OPM Director William
S. Knudsen, alone Of the seven, can
be considered as a representative Of
business. and though Knudsen re-
minds you constantly that ne is

ness" he is Baruch's original choice
as the best production man in the
country, and there is no substitute
for him. even to New Dealers.

Strange things go on in this sorry
world-and where will you find one
stranger tnan a chapel built by
thieves within a prison, and given
the name of a thief?
Does this sound irreverent? Tt
is not meant to be, for few things
could be more reverent than the
dedication at Clinton Prison, DAN
nemora, N Y, of the Chapel Of
the Good Thief When the bells
rang out over DannemOra Cne
other day, it sign8lled break" no
emergency. 1t summoned ell pris-
oners who wished to come to q
sturdy stone Gothic chapel be-
meath the very machine-gun-guard-
ed walls. a chapel built over a per
iod Of three years by prisoners.
Some Gao convicts entered for the
first service, and not all were Cath
olics, the faitn whose service was
held; the organ OF the church
was donated by two Jews; one Of
the bells was given by a friendly
Methodist church.
over the entrance, over the altar,
hung portrayals OF St. Dismas, the
Good Thief.
To men confined in Dannemora,
his story means something that it
is not likely TO mean to the rest Of
US. We have, perhaps, forgotten
St. Luke's moving incident Of the
CrUcifiHiou.
And one of The malefactors
which We're hanged rallied on Him,
saying, II thou be Christ, save
Thysclf and us But The other,
answering, rebuked him, saying,

thou art in the same condemna-
tion? And we indeed justly, for
we receive due award of our deeds;
but this man hath done nothing
amiss."
This man had done wrong, but
he was repenant. And he said unto
Jesus, Lord, remember me when
Thou comest into Thy kingdom
And Jesus said unto him, Verify
I say unto thee, Today thou shalt
DE with Me in Paradise
That is the story the convicts
in Dannemora remembered when
they, with their own hands raised
the first chapel of its kind in a
maximum security prison in the
United States, and raised it with
stones taken from an old cell-block.
That is a story all America ought
to hear a story that shouts that
in all America there is no man SO
abased, no man SO fallen, that he
may not still labor for something
outside himself, may not still build
something greater than he.
Can free men outside the walls
see this thing and be satisfied?
Have we built, as nearly as within
us lies. what lies within our power
to build?

REAL STRENGTH
IN ONE MAN

At its best, however, SPAB is only
another holding company set-up,
and the real test of whatever it does
will come from the man whom the
President named as its executive
director Donald Mari Nelson, who
is also now the head of the prior
tiles division of OPM. It is Nelson
who will do the work. It is Nelson
who, if anyone can, will bring order
out of the increasing chaos develop
ing around the shift from civilian
to all-out defense economy He is
trusted and respected by big busi-
ness and the Few Deal, and by the
Army and Navy. And since he was
formerly vice president Of Sears
Roebuck in Chicago, he knows
what everyday folks want, what
they actually need, what they can
do without, what they'll have to get
along without during the emergency.
Nelson, in Washington, has won
the confidence of everyone and ar
rived at his present position of
trust simply by minding his own
business and doing whatever joo
was assigned 10 him without play
ing politics, without reaching for
more power, without becoming in
volved in any of the palace factions
which surround the White House
throne. As long as Knudsen was
boss, Nelson took orders from Knud-
sen and never went over his head
even TO correct things which he
may have thought all wrong. Several
times, it has been reported that
Nelson was fed up with Washington
and the cumbersome cid National

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. - out
Our Way' fans who also happen to
be movie serial addicts, or victims.
VIII have a chance to see Artist
Jim Williams new ranch home on
the screen-but under rather odd
circumstances. In a chapter thriller
called King of the Texas Rangers"
the ranch will be represented as the
hideout of the head villain.
Early one morning a location
company from Republic studio was
scouting northwest of Hollywood for
a place that looked like a hand
some ranch mouse n Texas. This
one, they agreed, was just the spot
a wide sweep of field in front with
horses grazing; a large barn and
corral at one side; the long, ram
bling White-walled and red-tiled
rcofed house (strictly early Cali
fornia) topping a hin. Photographed
from the south and framed against
the low mountains, it would look
isolated, too. They could avoid
showing the home of the Williams
nearest neighbors, Bob Taylor and
Barbara Stanwyck.
CALLS OFF DOGS
The location manager was all set
for some cough bargaining when
he went up and asked if they could
rent the place for a few hours.
"Rent-Why, of course not!" said
the Williamses. Just help your
selves, boys; only wait till we get
the dogs n"
Nobody explained about the story,
but it turns out that the ranch is
shown as the headquarters of a ne7
farious foreign agent Neil Hamil-
tom Wnos bent on sabtotaging
Texas oil fields. The hero who foils
him in the final episode is Slingin'

PIE DISCRIMINAT ION

(Berkeley Gazette)
There is no argument about the posi-
ton of apple pie as the favorite food
and dessert of this country. People never
dispute about it. they just eat it as often
as they have the opportunity. Of course
there are two schools of thought on the
subj ect-those who prefer it hot, and
those who want it cold. And then there
is the little question of cheese on the
side. But hot or cold, with or without,
apple pie is the Number One dish
A pie enthusiast now thinks it would
be fun to name pie No. 2. He believes
there might be considerable honest diff
ference about that. AS candidates for
second position in the pie honor roll he
lists mince, pumpkin, lemon, squash,
cherry or blueberry, and adds the rash
statement that they are "the only ortho-
doX pies" There are other Dishes he
states, baked in shallow pans with one
or two crusts and filling, known as
pies, and considered edible by some peo
pie, but which this connoisseur labels of
doubtful respectability'
Among these he names peach, raisin,
pineapple, cream, apricot, prune and
chocolate pies. Entirely Outside the
pale" are elderberry, vinegar, potato,
grape and what he terms such horrors"
There ought to be material enough for
a merry war in such statements, not to
mention ammunition in the pies them
selves. Come on, you pie eaters, speak
right up for your favOrite entry. What's
the mattery with strawberry pie, anyway?

MANY CALLS FOR
BEETLE TRAPS
FOR GARDENS
Foliage Of Most Plants Protect
ed By Maintaining A Spray
Deposit

Many calls have been received for
sprays to control Japanese Beetle in
the small gardens. It is possible to
protect the foliage of most plants
by maintaining a deposit of spray on
the plants during the period when the
beetles are flying. The sprays do not
kill beetles, but largely repel them
and prevent excessive damage. Sew
eral sprays have been found effective,
but it must be remembered that re-
CARELESS of the spray used the plants
must be kept covered with the spray
at all times. For the protection of
large trees and shrubs it is almost
essential that the work be done with
large power sprayer. On small
plants a hand spray may be used.
Three very simple and satisfactory
sprays may be made from arsenate
of lead, derris powder a per cent
rotenone), and hydrated lime. The
formulas for preparing the sprays in
small quantities are as follows:
/. Arsenate of lead, a level table,
spoonfuls; Wheat flour, 8 level table
spoonful; Water, gallon.
2. Derris powder a per cent rote-
none), 1 ounce; Water, / gallon.
8. Hydrated liwe, l pound, water
gallons.
busting with hydrated lime is also
effective. Corn can be protected by
busting tips of the ears with very
! fine 600 mesh) hydrated lime when
the plants begin to show silk, using
hand buster. Applications should
be made at day intervals.
While arsenate of lead is poisonous,
it is probably the most satisfactory
for repelling beetles. Two to three
applications at ten-day intervals, will
give excellent protection to most fol-
iage. Derris spray should be used at
least once a week.
