 SCATTERING DEFENSE
 FACTORIES
 Weary Westerners who. have been dragging their maps around. to Army brass-hats and National Defense chiefs for months, trying to get new factories located west of the Mississippi, view the new Plant Site Board with 6 wary eye. They're wondering if the new board really will do some- thing about distributing defense industries, or whether It's just @ foxy piece of window dressing.
 The westerners heard Roosevelt promise that all sections of the country would share in the de- fense program, then watched the brass-hats cram factories into the overcrowded East. They have seen labor shortages, boom town headaches and mass worker rni- grations develop. Finally they have been tipped off that the Plant Site Board was set up to keep Congress from kicking over the traces and creating It's own locating committee.
 So naturally they're skeptical. And the first meeting of the Plant Site Board increased their skepticisn.
 At this closed door session, Don- aid Nelson, OPM, purchasing chief, who has crossed swords with the brass-hats more than once, pre- sented Q Defense Commission re- quest that the Board formally adopt a policy of scattering plants.
 s. R. Fuller, big rayon rnanu- facturer and chairman of the super Production Planning Board, demurred.

policy" Fuller asked. "All we're going tO do is pass on Army and Navy recommendations"
 "That wasn't my idea of the boards duties," drawled Clifford Townsend, OPM Agricultural Adviser. Tt seems to me we'd be running out on Congress and the President if we didn't take the bull by the horns and try to spread out defense work"
 "WeIl now," cautioned Fuller, "T don't believe we can make any hard and fast rule on 1o- eating factories. Tn some cases it may be necessary to build near existing facilities"
 "Why"
 Because of . shortage In plant superlntendents,' replied Fuller gravely.
 Townsend caught his breath, winked at Nelson, drawled: Tt would seem to me that 1t might be c little simpler either to train new superintendents or have each one supervise two plants by tele- phone or airplane, than to force thousnds of workers to migrate across the country to an already overcrowded community"
 This reasoning, apparently, made sense to the other Board members. Despite Fuller's protest, the policy proposed by Nelson of scattering plants was adopted. Also, Edwin Martin, crack young economist, was named as the Boards re- search director.
 Martin and his chief, Sidney Hilman, also favor dispersal of dee fense plants, but the Westerners, after months of disappointment, say that the Plant Site Board still has to prove 1t really can influence the brass hats. Seeing they say, is believing.

Canada Cuts Wheat

To those who remember the World War, nothing could more sharply underline the difference between this war and that, approaching the second year of todays war, is making a drastic cut in wheat acreage. Like the United States, Can ada has tremendous wheat carry-over. The war has cut off as many markets as it has created. So, instead of the cry, "Wheat will win the warl" which was heard in 1917, the cry is, Cut down wheat acreage to reduce surpluses!"
 There is a warning there for American farmers - especially those who remem- Der the call to turn under virgin sod for wheat in 1917. The farmer, or anyone else, who tries to gauge today's situation by yesterdays measure, is in for trouble.

@. When and by whom was the city of Buenos Aires founded?
 A. The land ct the mouth of the Plate River, the site of the city, was first explored by Juan Diaz de Solis in 1616, and the city of Buenos Aires was founded the first time by Pedro de Mendoza in 1886. However, because of hardships and the un- ceasing attacks of the Indians of the region, the settlement was abandon ed in June, 154i, when the last sur- viyors retired up-river to Asuncion On June il, 1880, Juan de Garay landed on the same shores from Asuncion, to found the city the second time. This time the settle- ment became permanent, and by the end of the year 1t Is recorded that there were more than 300 iahabit- ants.
 e. was born in the United States and have never been out oi this country. I married an alien on May l, 1917 and he was killed in Europe in 1918. Did ! lose my citi- zenship?
 A. The Immigration and Natur- alization service states that citizen women did not lose their United States citizenship by marrying aliens while this country was at war, from April s, 1917 to July 2, 1921. If your alien husband had lived after July 3, 1921, yuo would have lost your citizenship, provided he had not be- come natliralized before September 22, 1922.

DAYLIGHT SAVING
(Hartford Ti,nes)

(darttor0 T1meS)
 One in every four persons in this country lives, by majority prefer ence, under daylight saving during the summer months. The first ex- pertinent with this ciock-shifting device was had here In the first World War. The plan would be more satisfactory if the entire na- ton swung with the clock in that respect. But until some national emergency makes general adoption advisable, as in the first World War, large rural areas are likely to cling to standard time. misnamed Gods time.
 There Is e possibility that the question of nation-wide daylight saving may become an Issue as re- suit of the petition Of the Mer- chants Association of New York City that. as in the slrst World War, daylight saving be universal. It is now urged as 6 means ol promoting production under the na- tional defenge program.
 Tn view of the eight-hour day il most industries and double and triple shifts in some. 1t is not clear
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-04-03

The plan is not yet perfected, and still awaits .higher-up ap- proval. But here are details of the revolutionary idea.
 British experience in the North Atlantic has shown that scouting bombing planes are the most ef- fective protection for merchant vessels. Planes can sight an un- dersea boat at @ far greater dis tance than surface vessel, then drop depth bombs on 1t.
 Chief problem Is the refueling of these planes. Expensive air- craft carriers, requiring three years to build, cannot be used as air. plane bases in mid Atlantic. They are too easy targets for submar- ines.
 However, the flat-bottomed sCow does not have sufficient depth in the water to be Q target {, for Q submarine torpedo. The scow has a draft of only three feet, compared with Q 30-foot draft by a cruiser, and 35 feet by an air. craft carrier.
 Furthermore, in the relatively storm-free summer months, flat b0ttelned barges would experi- ence little trouble from weather. They would be subject to attack from the air, but on the ether hand each would be defended by its ewn scouting planes, and if 1t were sunk the cost Of re- placement would be insignifi- cant.
 Whether the barges and their accompanying planes would be constructed for use under the British flag, or whether the United States would risk it's own planes that far at sea has not yet been determined. But it is known that the Navy has the scheme under consideration.
 BRAINS, NOT MONEY
 Clarence Burlington Kelland is at the top of his profession when 1t comes to magazine fiction writ ing, but what he doesn't know about politics would fill the long, est serial written.
 Kelland, @ super Roosevelt hater, Is Republican National Committeeman from Arizona, where he lives on a model ranch. His efforts to spread the COP gospN there have been something less than sensational, since Ari- zona still remains one of the strongest Roosevelt states in the country.
 Last year, though, when polls showed the President lending in Arizona by Q wide margin, Kel- land adamantly insisted the state could be swung to Willkie. COP campaign chiefs paid little attention to him, but Kelland had better luck with the candi- date himself. WilIkie went 400 miles out of his way to make Q speech in Arizona.
 Election results confirmed the judgment of the campaign chiefs, but Kelland wasn't satisfied. Dur ing the recent National Commit tee meeting in Washington he post-mortemed noisiily to Q luncheon group which included Mrs. Worthington Scranton, Penn, veteran National Committee woman.
 Money was my problem" complained Kelland. q could have swung Arizona to Willkie

been able to do is to dispose of par ticular individuals who menaced so- ciety. Politics seems to have no technique for getting down to the basis of the problem and dealing with the conditions which permit the man on horseback to arise.
 The reason for this, of course, is that politics deal with the mechan- ics of social procedure while wars have their origin in the hearts of men. The desire for power. the love of money. the widespread will- ingness to exchange the humdrum of everyday living for the excite- ment of war, the callous indiffer- ence to human life. and the willing ness to perpetrate injustice If it brings immediate gain - these are the motives which produce war: and politics cannot deal with them.
 The solution lies only in the Christian gospel.

Gum manufacturers in this country are doing their part for national defense. No, they're not turning their busy plants over to Uncle Sam for other purposes, but they are sacrificing the tinfoil wrappers with which most gum-sticks are wrapped. This foil is being turned over to defense purposes and the gum manufacturers will depend entirely on waxed paper as a wrapper henceforth

FEATHERED FRIENDS

(BostOn Post)
 Among the amazing statistics compiled by the Department of Ag- riculture is the estimate that hawks, owls and gulls, during Q Nevada plague, consumed o0o,000 field mice, thereby saving c large part of the local crops from destruction. From an economic point of view, if the tree sparrow, bobwhite, sandpiper and other birds failed to return with spring, to carry on their good work of devouring vast quantities of insects, weed seeds and field mice Q large number of people would suf- fers severely. It Is worthwhile to treat these feathered friends kindly for the very sound reason that we eat only if they do.

THINGS ME DIDN'T DO ARE
 HIS HOLD ON LIFE

Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 Once again kneel and pray to thank the Lord for what I didn't do. The daily paper I just read is not of this date, but 1t tells tales of what happens every day. The good man of yesterday gone wrong today. He embedded thousands of dollars, the property of his best friends. The hard working man murdered Q wife younger than himself. He thought she should not be interested in other men. Just two of the many unfor- tunate humans who will be penalized mentally and physically from now on.
 I am sorry for them because I know it might have been me. As l write this @ stranger passed my cell. He looks as if he never slept in anything, but heavy marching order. Got a beard like one of the guys on the Smith Brothers cough drop box and just about so drunk that if he falls down he'll surely hang on. And he is speaking his little piece in the words of the song, Tt ain't gonna rain no more."
 Just the outward appearance of 2 living soul and so are the men I read about in the paper and so am I. Most of us get Hell in some way in some degree. Why? Well. I'll get mine when I go before the judge in couple of hours from now. Yes, I'm drunk again and I agree with the "Il ain't gonna rain" chap. It won't on us for about 90 days, but. 1911 still continue to thank the Lord for tho things didn't do and some day may be able to cultivate the friend ship of God.

WISHING FARM

WISHING FARM Prescott Hoard in the Christian Science Monito often wish to have farm Where COWS upon hill can graze, And sheep with soft wool thick and warm To meet the chill of wintry days. The house. low-roofed, with fireplace wide will snugly in the hollow lie, And up the chimney sparks will ride In swift ascension to the sky. An orchard and forest deep Where mystery lies in shadows dim; A brook that sings a pool to keep A silver ribbon on its brim. This may not be an easy thing To own g farm all set apart, Yet here are dreams that quickly bring Its acreage within my heart.
