AAA CORN BATTLE

Inside the agriculture department
savage row is raging between AAA
advocates Of acreage control and
apostles Of larger farm production.
This time the battle is over corn.
A referendum has been set for
May 81 to permit farmers to vote
on wheat marketing quotas, and the
dispute is whether to conduct a sim
liar election on corn. Some Of
Claude Wickard's boys say corn is
threatened with a price decline due
to the loss of export pork markets
in embattled Europe, but experts
contend that pork is in for a big
boom under the defense and lend
lease programs.
Inside fact is that Secretary Wick
ard has just about decided to call
off plebiscite among corn-hog
farmers, unofficially scheduled for
next fall, despite the loud demands
from Triple-A boss Rudolph M.
Evans, that one should be held.
Evans, spokesman of the big "cash-
income" farmers, has been arguing
that it is Just as important to con-
troll corn as wheat.
For a time he seemed to have
Wickard convinced. Up to a month
ago, Wickard was planning to slap
10 per cent curb on this years
corn crop by declaring marketing
quotas, with stiff penalty taxes OIL
excess production. The matter was
to be put up to corn-hog farmers
in referendum next fall
However, Wickard now takes the
position espoused by small farm
champions, particularly Milo Per-
kins, aggressive chief of the Sur
plus Marketing administration, that
rising meat, poultry and dairy
prices will prevent a surplus this
year, since farmers always fatten UP
their stock when prices justify it.
Also, it is certain that a consid-
cradle portion of the huge 700, O00,-
000-bushel carryover of corn from
last year will be bought for foreign
shipment under the lend-lease pro-
gram The Commodity Credit cor
poraton, which owns, or has under
loan, about 10000, 900 bushels of the
carryover, is strongly banking on
this.
So it looks as if Evans, who has
been warning farmers of q corn
quota election this year, will have to
eat his words.

ITALIANS BITTER AGAINST

ITALIANS BITTER AGAINST
DUCE
Official and uncensored u. S. re-
ports from Italy tell an amazing
story Of resentment against Musso-
lini. II is so strong that, according
to u. S. observers, the present Fas-
cist regime could not remain in Of
fee without the support Of German
troops.
Most significant Of all is the fact
that most Of The Italian army is
heartily out of sympathy with II
Duce. and Field Marshal Badoglio,
ex-chief of staff, does not even at
tempt to conceal his criticism. APP
parently Badoglio is so popular that
Mussolini cannot touch him. for no
attempt has been made to Jail or
exile him.
The sentiment of the Italian army
explains in large part the recent fail
ures in Albania and North Africa,
where thousands of Italians have sur
rendered. On the other hand, fight
ms in Ethiopia has been just the OPP
posite, with the Italians putting up
a fierce resistance This is ex-
planned by the fact that the Italian
army in Ethiopia has not been in
touch with conditions in Italy.
There arc now more Gestapo of
ficers German secret police) in
Rome than in Berlin. Together
with about $4,000 Nazi troops, the
Gestapo are also stationed in every
other key city in Italy.
1t is the Gestapo which has been
particularly active in isolating the
American embassy, with the re-
suit that Ambassador Phillips at
present is able to see few people.
II found talking to Phillips, his old
italian friends are warned, then ar
rested. Even other foreign diplo-
mats in Italy have received Gestapo
warnings not to communicate with
American diplomats.
Americans, however, are ex-
tremely popular with the Italian
people, who remember the efforts OF
President Roosevelt to prevent the
war In the first place, and to keep
Italy from entering the war. Also
the state department has facilitated
the passage of certain Italo-Amer.
leans back to Italy. Their work has
been effective.
Meanwhile, food scarcity in Italy
has increased to the point where
even the upper classes feel the food
pinch. Poorer people are starving.
All the reports indicate that when
the break finally does come in Italy,
1t will be an explosion of major pro-
portions.

deemed this old rocker and re-
Vealed its hidden charms.
The cover is plain, medium
green glazed chintz tufted with
dark green yarn and three inch
dark green fringe is used around
the bottom. A long Upper makes
a center back closing. Each sec
ton of the cover was fitted on the
chair in the muslin lining first
and these pieces were used as
patterns for cutting the chintz,
also the cotton which was trimmed
to be A-inch smaller all around.
After the pieces were tufted, as
shown at the upper right, the
seams were stitched up. Long
stitches were then made on the in
side to catch the edges of the cot
ton in place.

DIVIDENDS VS.. WAGES

More altruistic than most big
business leaders is Dollar-a-Year
Man Edward Settinius, chairman
Of the giant u. S. Steel corporation,
which maintains cordial relations
with SWOC, a CLIO. union. Last
year U. S. Steel paid stockholders
500, 900, 900. This year it should pay
about $l56, 000,0 900.
But now the Steel Workers union
Is demanding q wage boost.
Stettinius wants to pay the addi-
tionsl dividends. Labor wants to get
the additional pay.

lRLS who are kept at home
\ T by strict maternal rule
and obliged to obey pretty
severe rules of conduct in the
matters of dances and dates
and late hours, are the luckiest
girls after all.
They may not see it at 10, but
ten years and fifteen years later
they see it. And it is then, in
happy young wifehood and
motherhood, with their own po-
tential responsibilities coming
along, that they turn to the older
woman with an affectionate
laugh and begin to repay the
debt they owe her for guarding
their girlhood.
Mother was Gorgon!" they say
proudly. Nancy and l couldn't get
away with ANYTHINGl Mother
had to know all about boys before
they could even take us to movies"
But Of course Sixteen and Eight
cen don't see this, and if they pos
sibly can they escape from home
control. Good heavens" they NUT

locks and paint their young mouths,

What's the harm in one cocktail!
never took too much to drink in my
life and neither did Nancy! You'd
think from the way Mother and Dad
talk that we were going right to the
bad!"
Too Much Freedom Harmful.
But there is harm in giving youth
too much freedom. The harm is
that no girl of Sixteen or Eighteen
knows what she is losing or jeopar-
dizing when she goes about with
reckless crowd. She is completely in
capable of judging how she will feel
a few years later, how this group of
men and women will impress her.
Even If she stops short of actual
improprieties with men, she has to
face infinite dangers. She sees men
drunk; she hears stories and
phrases that should never reach her
ears; she endures the stupid de-
lays of half-intoxicated women and
men who can't make up their minds
TO go home, or go anywhere, but
who remain drowsily drinking and
dancing hours after all pleasure has
gone out of the occasion. She risks
the return home with q driver who
is unfit to handle a car.
Must Pay Some Price.
Many a girl quite innocently in
vites danger and fright and harm to
herself in this way. She may ap-
parently escape actual injury, she
may not have to face the world with
a fatherless child in her arms; al
though even that Victorian situation
is not as unusual as today's girls
would like to think. But no girl
gets off scot free after few young
years of recklessness and license.
Her manner, speech, standards,
personality are all affected; other
women realize that the minute thew
meet her.
For the young years are very inn
portant years. 1t is in them that
we lay the foundation for the future.
And restraint and fneness and dis
elimination and self-control in those
years bear inevitable fruit. The
girl who deliberately makes herself
lawless and common at eighteen is
not going miraculously to emerge
from cheapening associations and
find herself admirable at 25, clean
of speech, clean of mind, clean of
soul.
Here is a letter some girls might
read to advantage this Sunday
morning. 1t comes from East ST.

Went With Wrong Crowd.
MY husband is a doctor, a year
younger than I. He was recently
offered a very advantageous posi-

oeeo ror two years before that, my
family has lived in this city, and I
met Tom here. have never been
back to the place where I lived as
girl, nor seen any of my old asso-
clates there. I went with the wrong
crowd, as see now, and was glad
to leave it all behind me.
I'm that old group, in those reck-
less days, was a man I will call
Larry. He was a rough, dark, vio-
lent sort of fellow, older by six or
seven years than the rest of us,
coarse and noisy, but fascinating,
and we all knew he was brilliant.

Fears to Move Back.
My husband knows nothing of
this. 1t was long ago, it was un-
important, 1t has been completely

being a beloved and honored wife.
Tom is proud, sensitive and fine in
every way; he would be shocked to
