 CIVIL DEFENSE TROUBLES
 Real reason for that mysterious visit to the White House of Dean James Landis, of Harvard Law School and former chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commis- sion, was to try to persuade him to become second man to Mayor LaGuardia as Civil Defense Ad- ministrator.
 With LaGuardia at his washing ton desk only one or two days a week, ciyi. defense preparations have been progressing at g limping pace. This has caused considerable undercover grumbling and in an effort to meet the criticism, La Guardia conceived the idea of mak- ing Landis his right-hand lieuten- ant.
 Landis is already regional di- rector of civil defense in New Eng land. But he declined subbing for LaGuardia in Washington. Landis excuse was that he couldn't leave special work he is doing.
 Failing to persuade Landis him. self, LaGuardia hustled him over to the White House in the hope that Roosevelt would nave better luck But Landis refused to be moved.
 The same day, also undiScloSed there was another eruption in La Gaardia's headquarters staff. Rus sell Davenport, Willkie braintrusteI in last years campaign, threw up the sponge and walked out. He is the fourth LaGuardia assistant to depart,
 Davenport was brought to Wash ington to work on plans for a morale campaign. After several weeks doing nothing. during which time LaGuardia was in town twice Davenport told him he saw no reason for staying any longer and left.

That is, this Board, consisting of Vice President Wallace, Secretar- ies Stimson, Knox and Morgenthau, OPM Chiefs Knudsen and Hillman, and OPACS Director Henderson, will be sort of general staff of defense production.
 The board will fix policies on all pr roduction issues and CPM OPACS, the Army. Navy and var ious other agencies connected with the defense program will put them into effect in their particular fields. Also. to further integrate OPM and OPACS in order to obtain smoother cooperative functioning between thems the civilian supply part of OPACS will be made an OPM division. Henderson will con- tinue to head as he does now a part of OPACS, but he will do so as an OPM official under Knudsen and Hillman.
 This will give him a dual role. On one hand he will be head of an independent agency controlling prices. and on the other an OPM divisional chief in charge of civil ian supply. In both capacities he will have voice in all priority questions as member of the seven-man policy board. In turn, its priority decisions will be enforced by the prioritles division of OPM.

represents balanced type of farm
ing. That's the well-planned meal
type of conservation.
Not only is the conservation well
planned for each year, but it is
worked out for five years in advance.
The Alabama Plan, like most
parts of the farm program, came
from suggestions from farmers
themselves who have observed the
operation of the farm program and
made suggestions on it from time
to time. Alabama farmers have felt
the need for more planning and
more balance in their conservation
work and the AAA program has
been adapted to make it possible
for this statewide experiment in
conservation to be undertaken be-
ginning in 1871.
The Alabama farmers who want
this type of program believe that
a farmer who does not take care Of
his soil should not receive the full
benefits under the farm program.
Requirements Of Plan.
Here's what the Alabama farmer
has to do to avoid deductions in his
conservation payments for 1941:
/. Grow erosion-resisting crops
each year on an acreage equal to
at least Is per cent of his cropland.
Q. Properly terrace all cropland
in the farm having slope in excess
of per cent.
3. Establish or maintain perennial
soil-conserving crops on at least one
acre for each IS acres of cropland.
4. Establish or maintain permanent
pasture on at least one acre for each
Is acres of cropland.
Requirement No. has to be car
ried out each year, of course, but
numbers 2, 8, and are to be done
over five-year period. One-ffth Of
the requirements under points 2, 3,
and must be carried out each year.
Deductions in the farmers con-
servation payments will be made on
the basis of cent Of the pay
ment for each 1U per cent by which
he fails to carry out the 1871 require
ments.
The Alabama Plan is resulting in
more cooperation among farmers
in many cases. For example. opera
tors Of small farms are not able TO
maintain heavy equipment required
in terracing. However, groups Of
farmers can form an association
to buy this equipment, and can pay
their share on the basis Of the
amount Of time they use it.
That is the story-told from the

(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
WASHINGTON.-You may have
heard about the Alabama plan" of
the Triple A which some have said
is an attempt of reversing the pol
icy of paying farmers for mot do
ing" and rewarding them for do
ing" I find that the department of
agriculture doesn't go that far. Of
fcials there describe it rather, as
paying farmers less for mot doing"
but assuring them benefits for taxi
ing part in a constructive program.
This is the way one member of
the Triple A tells the story:
Down in Alabama they're trying,
on statewide basis, an experiment
in balanced farming that may even
tually be a pattern for farm pro-
grams in other areas. It's known as
the Alabama Plan" and it's simply
a plan based on good farming prac-
tees, which over five-year period,
provides for building up the soil and
otherwise improving the individual
farm to the point where it becomes
a productive unit.
The Alabama plan is not compli-
Gated. 1t is part Of the AAA farm
program. It carries further than
ever before the conservation work
done under the AAA program. AS
under previous AAA programs,
farmers will receive conservation
payments for planting within their
acreage allotments Of special crops,
such as cotton, tobacco. peanuts,
wheat, and potatoes. However, I'M
der the so-called Alabama Plan, in
operation for the first time in 1941,
full payments made to Alabama
farmers will be contingent upon car
rying out Of certain good farming
practices.
Planned Conservation.
The difference between the Ala
bama Plan and the general conser-
walton program is about the differ
ence between going into cafeteria
and picking out dish or two that
you especially like and sitting down
to well-balanced meal. Heretofore,
farmers in Alabama and other
states have had available to them
certain practices which they could
use to earn the payments available
under the farm program. They
have used many Of these but natur-
ally they have not always picked out
the best combination Of practices
for the land. That was the cafeteria
method Of soil conservation. Under
the Alabama Plan. the conservation
program worked out for each farm
