The small manufacturer who

gagged in production for civilian
consumption that are now affect
ed by priorities, are assured Of
quick financing for plant con-
struction, expansion, and equip
ment, and of working capital, when
such are to be used in the manu-
facture Of equipment and supplies
necessary to the national defense.
In addition to the requirement
that the .@unds be used for national
defense purposes, the only other
statutory restriction is that the
applicant be a corporation.
In the event that an applicant

nancing for defense contracts or
orders. the statute requires that
the application be approved by the
board of directors Of the Recon-
struction Finance Corp. at Wash
ington, D. c.

His work, Hellman writes, calls
for constant mediation between the
civilian demands of private industry
and the needs of national defense,
but the negotiation of compromises
is tonic to him, for as chairman of
the Board of General Electric he
has had much experience with such
matters. This work keeps him in
Washington five days a week, and
the pace there has left him "happy,
but not tired" He describes it as
"just machine gun proposition"

while he plays. Playing the piano is
an unfailing source Of relaxation to
him, and whenever he feels the least
bit tired or out of sorts after hard
week in Washington he has recourse
to this.

one which many a wise mother
uses for her own complexion as

this soap for its purity, the ease
with which it fathers; baby loves
it because its velvet suds feel so

At intervals during the day moth

with velvet soap suds to remove
traces of food or dirt from baby's
hands and face. She also employs
the pure Ivory soap in cake or

a soap pure and mild enough for

WHEAT FARMER
TO CAST VOTE
Poll of May End to Decide
the 1912 Wheat Quota
Problem
SUBJECT TO PENALTY

Now that the United States is at
war and needs all the food that can
be produced, demands are being
made that the Government remove
all restrictions upon what farmers
grow and produce. Those demands
are being voiced in Congress,
among consumers and by some
farm leaders. They are prompted
by proposals for food rationing,
fears of possible shortages and the
belief that if the war continues
long, shortage of farm labor and
materials might make it impossible
for agriculture to produce suffic-
iently.
Greater Control Than Ever
Yet the Government is exercis-
ing perhaps greater control over
farm production than ever before,
and opposes any le.ssening of that
control. Officials contend that the
control programs are designed to
assure maximum production of
the commodities needed most.
What do farmers themselves think
about it? No one is able to an
swer that question now. But a mil
lion or so tillers of the soil will be
given an opportunity to express
themselves in a nationwide refer
endum on May 2. On that date,
wheat farmers will cast secret bal
lots on an Agricultural Adjustment
Administration proposal to con-
tinue a rigid control program for
the important bread-grain crop.
Subject to Penalty
Under that program, the Gov
eminent has authority to tell the
farmer how much wheat he may
sell or use. If he does not comply,
he is subject to heavy cash pen
atty and to the loss of Government

Both m ming and commercial companies in the vicinity of Nome Alaska have had a successful and active season according to Carl J Lomen, chairman of the Lomen Commercial Company who arrived late yesterday from the company headquarters at Nome
 MT. Lomen is staying at the Bar anof Hotel while waiting for trans portation to Seattle where he will be in the company office during the winter. Mrs. Lomen, who has been visiting her father, former Congress man Andrew Volstead, in Minnesota during her husbands absence in the north arrived in Seattle yesterday to meet MT Lomen.
 Ralph Lomen, who has represented the family company in Fairbanks as Alaska representative of the Allis- Chalmers Company and the Chicago Pneumatic Tube Company during the last summer, expects to leave in the near future for Seattle as does Alfred Lomen, who heads the com- pany activities in Nome.
 The Lomen brothers have been among the most prominent residents of the Second Division for many years and both Alfred and Ralph are well knOwn in IlIneai1 ac forroer members of the Territorial Legisla- ture.
 The recent decision to stop all gold mining operations for the dur ation will of course, affect all min ing activities in the Nome district where mining has been very success sful during recent years. However the operators all expect to resume mining as soon as is possible, accord ing to MT Lomen.

 The editorial reviewed the Octo- Der Is statement of the Soviet gov ernment calling for immediate trial and punishment of any German ringleader who, in the course of the war, falls into the hands of the states fighting against Hitlerite Germany"
 Hess parachuted mysteriously into England some time ago, apparently a deserter from the Hitler cause. He is being held in custody.
 Soviet Statement
 The official Soviet statement on October Is was a blunt declaration for immediate trial and punishment with all the severity of criminal law" of any German ringleader all raedy imprisoned by the Allies, and specifically named Rudolf Hess, a captive in Britain, as one of the organizers of German atrocities" who should pay now for his mis- deeds.
 The announcement was made in the form ot a communique widely circulated by the TaSs Agency, con- taining the reply of Soviet Foreign Commissar Molotov to ten-month- old communication from number of European governments in exile.
 British official circles were star tied by this entirely new conception of international retribution. In Lon don there were expressions of fear that action along the line suggested by Russia would bring wholesale re- taliation against Allied nationals now in German hands. Already the Germans have initiated the mass shackling of prisoners Of war.
 A Foreign Office attache, while saying that Hess, of course, is considered vulnerable to Allied plans for indictment of war criminals, re- marked pointedly that the former deputy fuehrer made his parachute descent in Scotland on May 10, l94l more than a month before Germany attacked Russia.
