Gen. Lewis q. Hershey, acting d.
rector Of the Selective Service sys-
tenn.
But that is only half the story.
Lewis Hershey Is farm-born and
farm-bred and although his official
duties are concerned only with the
selective service. he is unofficially
familiar with the other problems
which affect the farmer.
The draft is his business and he
has told draft boards all over the
country to give serious considera-
ton to individual claims Of men en-
gagged In agricultural pursuits for
occupational deferment from mill
tary training"
Farm Workers important.
Zone reason why so many young
fellows are In the army today I'M
stead Of working in the fields" said
General Hershey to me. ''is because
even the farmers on the draft
boards, when n husky lad comes
along and says he Is willing to join
the army do not realize how hard 1t
will be to replace him.
at Is a lot easier to teach young
town boy the skills so he can replace
a man taken away from the produc-
ton line In q factory than 1t Ii to
teach him how to farm" said the
general.
''You can't just tell green hand
to hitch up the wagon and 60 down
and get a load Of corn. You know
yourself that a farmer can do in
three hours what 1t takes a green
hand 10 hours to do.
Its hard enough to keep the boys
on the farm anyhow these days."
the general went on. They don't
like to stick their noses into the hot
side of cow in July when they can
get a job in factory. work until five
o'clock. and then get off and 60 to
the movies. They soon get enough
cash to make a down payment on
a car and the first time they come
home in it to see the folks they take
two or three other young fellows
from the neighborhood back with
them"
But somebody has to feed the fac
tory workers and the soldiers.
I'VE have got to have food" Gen.
eral Hershey concluded. land the
draft boards will have to learn to
answer the question: Where can we
get another man to replace the farm

Our Course Is Set

The war in Europe has produced differences Of
opinion in the United States ranging from nsstence
force OF arms to calm and placid belief that this nation
should do nothing because it is not and will not be-
concerned with what happens abroad.
1t is comparatively easy to comprehend the position
OF those who have worked for peace through the years
as pronounced pacists and find themselves chal-
ienged by the trend Of actual events. It is more diff
cult TO understand the attitude Of other citizens who
say they dislike Adolf Hitler but dislike the British
so much they unwilling for the United States
70 40 anything that will in any way amount to assist
ing the British This view, which is more widespread
bilization.
The United States, by Congressional passage of the
iendeaSe BILL placed itself the side of the demo-
cratic states and in definite opposition to the tota-
tartan powers This act was no halfway measure
1t pledged, vast scale, the material resources of
the nation to encompass the defeat of Hitler Such a
piece OF legislation could not be passed by Congress
that believed that what happened in Europe was Of no
concern to- and could not endanger the United States
The President, in his recent freside address, made
plain the intent of this country to actively resist if
necessary Htlers acquisition of bases, anywhere from
which the Nazis could launch attack against the
Americas. He pointed out that control of the
was vital and that would actively resist Hitler's
efforts to seize control of the high He insisted
that materials secured under the lendease bill would
be delivered to Great Britain whatever the means that
might be required to accomplish the delivery
In view of the act of Congress and the stated poll
cies of the nation it is nonsense for an American
nowadays to say that we not interested in the war
in Europe The nation has made its pledge to the foes
OF totatarlansm and will keep the promise in good
faith. should be plain that this nation has gone
Tar that it has incurred the enmty of the Axis group
Hitler Mussoin and Japan originally intended
to be good after stealing Europe Africa and Asia Of
course it is hardly to be imagined that if had main
tanned the strctest neutrality just did Norway,
Belgium and other states, position would have been
any better
It is foolish for Americans, at this time to talk as
if the nation choose of action. That day
has passed. The nation has decided and the decision
is to resist world domination by the Nazs to the utter
limits of our power. For what other reason are we
arming to the teeth For what reason do we ask the
the British to hold out in order to get time to arm?
No useful purpose is served by those who preach
division in this country now, after the nation has
selected its course There may be Americans loyal
and patriotic who regret the national decision and who
question the wisdom of national but they

Another problem Of the emergen-
cy Is feeding the British.
There was some CONSIDERATION ex-
pressed In the department Of agri-
culture when 1t was learned that the
frst food ship from the United States
under the lend-lease law did not ar
rive in Britain until almost three
months after the bill had been
passed. Reports from London re-
Elected this surprise, too. It was
suggested there that perhaps the
United States might institute cheese
less and creamless days in order
that Britain might be supplied.
The ship carried 100000 shell
eggs. 10000 pounds Of cheese and
1000 tons of -four. This seemed
a drop in the British food bucket.
But the records now reveal that
the department Of agriculture had
$4,000. 900 worth of food on or near
the docks and has had ever since
shortly after the lend-lease act be-
came law. The trouble has been
lack Of ships.
There has been some surprise. too.
over the fact that shell-eggs, which
might be considered almost as per-
ishable as shells, were sent instead
Of powdered eggs.
Lord Woolton, food minister, who
met the ship. tasted the cheese when
1t arrived and said it was quite as
good as the English cheddar. He

Labor VS.. Public Opinion

Few Americans fail to approve the resolute action
OF the United States government in ordering soldiers
to take possession of the strike-bound North American
Aviation Company in California where small minority
OF striking workers tied up the production of arpanes
The cause of labor has suffered seriously in the
past few months through the ill-advised action of
various labor organizations most of which have been
local groups. It will take time to from the public
mind the evil picture that has been spread throughout
the nation sometimes by those nmieal to the Of
labor.
Nevertheless, one should remember that laborers
themselves, through improper action have done their
organizations and their fellow workmen serious
injury. After ALL even labor leaders will understand
the power of public opinion, the people of this
nation aroused. They might well get busy
Immediately and that some of these senseless
strikes ended.
The picture of grm-faced American soldiers, slowly
advancing upon massed picket line, may not be to
the liking of strikers but they will be utterly dense if
they do not realize that the people of the United States
are standing behind the men in uniform when they
take such action. Laborers have only themselves to
blame for what they do not like.

>aHAMPION Dam Builder Frank T. Grove
watched the whining cable-carriages
~ slap ffty-ton bucketfuls of concrete
into the Sacramento River canyon. When the
whistle blew, the weathered face of Engineer
Grove broke into grin. His crews had hung
up new record 8.267 yards of concrete
poured in twenty -four hours. That record was
particularly important at the moment. for the
United States Department of Interior had
just announced that Shasta Dam was to play
a vital part in national defense, and was
needed Just as soon as it was possible for men
and machines to do the job.
Ofhand, it is hard to see how huge block
of concrete in the Siskiyou Mountains at the
head of the agricultural Sacramento Valley
affects national defense. But decade ago
the same was true of Boulder Dam, which
Frank Groves exuberant crews completed
two wears ahead of time. And luckily, too,
because today Boulder's generators are life
itself for the busting aircraft factories OF
southern California, which produce half this
oountry's output of bombers and fighters for
the defense of the demouacies.
Shasta, twice the bulk of Boulder, is more
than new source of power for shipyards, steel
mills and magnesium plants in northern Cali
fornia. The Aoodwaters it will store will save
the most productive agricultural acreage IN
the land and double its output of key food
stuffs, particularly the canned and dried
fruits and vegetables which can most easily
be shipped to armies or embattled popula-
tons. So Grove is breaking all records for
concrete-pouring.
Frank Trenholm Grove has been racing
against time like that ever since the Univer-
sity of Maine labeled him Engineer back In
1905. Shortly after graduating, Grove decided
that he was in a Down East rut. Trekking
West, he paused long enough in Montana to
slip into real ''rut, the canyon of the lower
Yellowstone River. The infant U. S. Bureau
of Reclamation was building dam there.
Evening star., 1941-09-14

Groves first job was to help build 1t. Most
of the thrty-fve years since then. he has
spent in canyons or river bottoms, bossing
the building of dams that backed up flood
waters to feed powerhOuses and to rrigate
arid wastes. Grove built dams have not only
changed the agricultural map of the country,
but the destiny of cities as well. Without
Boulder's hydroelectric power, it IS doubtful
if Los Angeles could have become the un-
disputed aircraft manufacturing center of the
world. Shasta, which is Frank Groves eight
eenth dam. will generate billion and half
kilowatt hours of power annually. Engineers
expect it to change the map of northern
California even more than Boulder Dam at
fected southern CALIFORNIA; destiny.
He Doesn't Like Offices
Among engineers and contractors Frank T.
Grove is legendary figure, but few laymen
know him, for. as he puts it, he has lived IN
river bottoms" most of his life. Grove likes
it better there. Il can't see why anybody
would work in an office when he can be in
place like this" he shouted to me above the
screech of truck brakes and the rumble of
conveyor belts.
Even on the job Grove is hard man to
spot. In his inevitable baggy trousers, slip
on sweater, straw hat speckled with concrete.
he might be any one of the straw bosses. His
tin-hatted foremen and workmen, hundreds
of whom have followed Grove from dam to
dam for twenty years, have afectionately
called him The Old Man" since he was forty.
He's fifty nine now, but that nickname is mis-
leading Lean, 1.-THE and agile as youngster,
he looks closer to forty and refuses to send
any man anywhere he can't go himself.
Dams have been good to me. !" Grove said.
while was learning to build them, the
American nation got started on the biggest
building spree of all time. If I'd been
born sooner or later, l ID have missed the boat"
