 What a travesty on the newspa- per publishers big advertisement which the same edition found room for-and rejected my tommyrot. $.
 Charles Llndbergh's st. Louis speech was In his usual defeatist vein ... England and the United States together, he said, cannot hope to equal German air strength by 1922 or l943 ... As proof of ths he said: Germany has @ head start and from the stand point of re- search and production alone 1t will require years to overtake her."
 Ts this true? Here are some facts not opinions, but facts-that pro- vide the answer. Last September the German and British air fleets clashed over London The best that German research had to offer
 met the best that British research had to offer Everybody, including Lindbersh. KNOWS what happened. The Spitfires and the Hurricanes swept Germans best from the skies Since then Ger many hasn't dared send her air squadrons over England during DAYLIGHT. The year in which that happened was lo40, MT. Lind- bergh, not 1922 or 1943.
 Another fact! ... On the very very same day that MT. Lindbergh made his statement, Richard W. Millar, the president of vultee Air. craft, was making @ statement, too --out in Downey, California : MT. Millar announced 6 new dive bomber which "outperforms any known plane of similar type In the world today"
 The year, MT. Lindbergh, was le41 NOT 1924 or i943.
 Another fact, about American rec searchl Rolling off the pro- duction line in San Diego is a boinb- ing plane with 6 new type of wing, which gives American bombers an enormous advantage over any cor- responding plane In the world today "a fact fully reported only c few weeks ago in the isolationiSt Sat- urday Evening Post.
 The year, MT. Lindberg, was 1o4i NOT 1922 or io43.

INCREASE in VEGETABLES AP
PROVED In AAA PROGRAM

Changes in the 1941 AAA pro-
gram will be made to allow tomato
growers full speed ahead" in ex.
panding their production, it is an
nounced by officials of that program
AAA provisions will be amended SO
that farmers who contribute to the
requested expansion will not incur
deductions from their farm program
payments because of increases made
this year in acreage of tomatoes
grown for processing.
The amendments will also apply
to corn, peas, and snap beans grown
for processing, it is stated, since
the food for defense program calls
for some increases of these crops.
In determining compliance with
vegetable allotments i'm 1941, acre
ages of tomatoes, corn, peas and
snap beans grown for processing in
any form will not be considered as
commercial vegetables. Acreage of
these four crops will not be CLASH
fed as soil-depleting in 1941.

SENATORIAL SNARLS
By J. E. Jones

Washington, May Ex-senator
Robert r. Reynolds of North Caro-
lima is described as one of the most
popular men in the upper branch OF
Congress, and according to the ira
ditional seniority rule he should be
stepped-up from his place as a men,
Der on the Military Affairs Commit
tee to the Craftsmanship, which
post was held by the late Senator
Sheppard. A reporter says that it is
impossible to imagine Senator Rey-
nolds as Chairman of this particular
Committee Sin the present emer-
gency''. The reason is that Reynolds
is an isolationist, who has the cour-
age of his convictions and never
did, and doesn't now, agree with the
Administration foreign policies.
He voted against the Lend-Lease
Bill and isn't at all enthusiastic
about the selective service.
A striking example of Orthodox
democracy, by Democrats, was dis
played the other day when Senate
leader Barley went to the front to
1
accept the statue of the late Huey
Long for place in the Hall of Fame
in the Capitol. Barley said that the
authority of selecting outstanding
persons from each State to be i'm
mortalized in granite in the Hall of
Fame was always decided, by the
State, itself, and that such selections
we're final, and not to be questioned
or denied. And so he did very
brave job, which he was brave
enough not to run away from. Mem
Der sof the family, and few init
mate friends of the late Kingfish,
attended the ceremonies. But the
two Senators from the State and all
but two members of the House did
not attend the ceremonies. The
Kingfish is dead, but long wave the
Kingfish.

FIRE-PRooF THE NATION

Mobilization of American thought
and action to strengthen national
defense through a more efficient fire
defense, is progressing rapidly, ac-
cording to a report by w. e. Malta
lieu. director, 18th Anniversary ac-
tivities of the National Board of
Fire Underwriters.
"Our desire to literally fire-proof
the nation in this time of crisis is
the keynote of our anniversary pro-
gram. he said. During the IS
wears of it's existence, the National
Board has dedicated itself to public
service. Today, our activities trans
cend ordinary aid and are a vital
contribution to national defense.
Public interest in this great fire
defense program is growing daily.
Since the start of the program, nun
dreds of nationally prominent 1ndl-
viduals and groups throughout the
country have actively participated.
The activities headquarters OF the
National Board is in constant touch
with newspapers, radio stations,
speakers, and others who have un-
dertaken to assist in making the
public aware of the need for more
intense efforts to reduce fire losses
as a contribution to national de-
Tense. The weekly and daily press
have widely pledged their coopera-
ton. Mayors of cities are officially
proclaiming participation in the OBJ
servance. Fire department officials
are especially active. Laboratories
and museums are doing their part
by displaying rare old fire prints.
This is the greatest and best or
ganized drive against fire ever I'M
dertaken. Men in touch with defense
know the ever-present menace OF
fire. It wastes more than money and
materials-it wastes time. Today's
defense battle is battle against
time.
In the long run, the success OF
this work will be up to the Ameri-
can people. And they are being given
a chance to do vital job, in the in
terest of all, right now.

NATIONAL DAIRY MONTH

The National Cooperative Mir
Producers Federation announces
that June has again been designat-
ed as National Dairy Month. AS in
the past, intensive effort will be
given to stimulating interest in
milk and milk products.
That is of great Importance to all
the states. Milk is the most univer-
sally produced farm crop. 1t provid-
es a part of the income for millions
of farm families, and all of the in
come for hundreds of thousands
From the consumers point of view
milk is among the most healthful
of foods, and dietary authorities
point out that consumption in this
country is substantially below what
it should be.
Marketing cooperatives will be
among the leaders in forwarding
National Dairy Month. These coop
eratives have achieved some of their
most notable successes in the dairy
field, and they have proven them
selves invaluable to profitable dairy
farming.
