WASHINGTON-When the Vice President of the United States gets off the train to make his speech at the opening of the new powder fac- tory at Burlington, Iowa, today, it is significant that he will get off at a little station just outside of Burling- ton called Middleton.
 There is nothing much at Middle ton except a couple of freight cars, few houses and a station sign. It is a typical country crossroad flag stop.
 Yet suddenly, out of the flat Iowa prairies a new industry has come to Middleton, an industry as foreign to the corn belt as the philosophy of Henry Wallace is to war.
 All of which is indicative of what is going on both in the heart of the Middle West and in the heart of Henry Wallace.
 In the last war, munitions plants hugged the Atlantic seaboard. A few cities away from the coast, Pitts burgh, Detroit and Chicago. got a sprinkling of munitions orders, but no one ever dreamed of locating de- fence factories in Omaha, Tulsa, or Fort Worth.
 But fow the USA is confronted with bombing planes capable of fly ing 5000, even 1000 miles, and so the Middle West has become like the Ural Mountains of Russia, and ev- eryone knows that the more muni- tions plants Stalin has placed behind the Urals, the better are Russias chances.
 Just as great changes have taken place in the strategic location Of munitions plans. so great changes have taken place in the mind of Henry Wallace. War, even national defense, always has been anathema to him. He could see no reason for building an army and navy, regard ed them as destructive institutions.
 Then last winter he went to Mex ico, and came back changed man. The United States, he began to feel for perhaps the first time, could be in real danger of invasion. The Mid- dle West no longer was made inn

 Let's go back to the days of the "Ckies," when FSA was under the guns and trying to provide "tem- porary shelter" for the migrant workers flowing back and forth across the land. The trailer offered a quick solution and, in a compar- atively small way, it was put to use
 The problem had hardly been gotten in hand when along came national defense. Boom towns ap-

 The sculpture, under the auspices of the American Foundation for Polish Unity, is on the first stage Of its tour of the United States for the purposes of raising money to per- petuate in this country the ideals of Paderewski, and to bring to- gether by closer understanding of their mutual cultures the American and Polish people in the United States.
 Today, when the pages of the newspapers are filled with head- lines of war and devastation, 1t is of vital importance to keep alive the flame of liberty and democracy, and the knowledge of generosity gerater than self To all of us, whether Polish, English. German, Italian, American, Paderewski sym bolizes the truth within all these ideas, and 1t is he who has given and given until even his presence emanates his beauty. It is his ideal, and has always been, that the Polish people be free men with @ free country, that they stand united, that their names be known in pride to the whole world. He is working, and has worked all his life, to that end, and he has always triumphed, even in temporal defeat because the whole world knows and loves Poland through him.
 We, in our way, wish to help him, and the sculptor, Korczak Ziolkow- ski, knowing the need in this coun- try for unity at all time and now in particular, has visions of grow ing mutual respect between the Pol ish people here and the Americans, through @ new and vitalizing knowledge of the greatness of Pol isll history and culture in the past, a history which reaches far back into the Middle Ages and has al- ways been one in which knowledge and education glowed with 8 spirit of enterprise. MT. Ziolkowski has lent his valuable and famous sculp- ture of the great Polish leader for this purpose, and all may enter the exhibit free of charge and return again and again. Contributions are voluntary, and already the response has been great.

60 CENT HAIRCUTS TO START MAY 1
New Britain Barbers Claim Advance Will Iron Out
 Difficult Situation

New Britain, April 8.--Sixty-cents haircuts will come into being in town on and after May and even bald-headed men began talking about the why's and wherefore of 1t last night when word of the advance began to get round following Q meeting of the Independent Master Barbers Association. The advance has @ close connection with the heightened defense activity, 1t was explained.
 Better business affects the barbers in two ways, William Derderian, head of tAe IMBA said. First 1t has taken many barbers out of shops and into factories and second 1t has taken men off the streets and into jobs. As 2 result the master barbers have difficult situation. All week they may be more or less idle but on Friday night and Saturday they have more business than one man can handle. This limits the barber's earnings. The advance in prices will help the situation.
 The 60-sent rates will be in effect in centra.ly-located shops. In out lying shops the price will be 50 cents, an advance of IS cents from the 35-cents figure set some, months ago. Slaves will be 25 cents, up five cents in the outlying shops and chil- dren's haircuts will move up to 30 cents, from 25 cents.
