FARMERS URGED TO
ORDER PARTS NOW

Farmers are urged to survey
their needs for replacement ma
chine parts now and place their
orders for such parts with their
dealers at once, so as to be sure
that the necessary machinery will
be available to make good on the
1912 production goals.
This appeal is being made to
the Maryland USDA Defense Board
by authorities in Washington and
it is their desire to impress upon
the farmers the great Importance
OF giving attention to the matter
at once.
The fear is that farmers, not ap-
preciating the time that it will take
manufacturers to fill what is eX-
pected to be an unusually heavy
volume of part replacement orders
will follow their usual custom of
waiting until shortly before their
equipment is needed to place their
orders. This, it is said, would
create a bottleneck, that may we'll
handicap farm production plans
under the 1912 Farm Defense Pro
gram.
Farm machinery manufacturers
have been given an A-10 rating on
The Hagerstown globe., 1942-01-23

materials to manufacture repair
parts and it is expected that fur
ther steps will be taken to allocate
to them an adequate amount Of
the 16 or more types of steel that
are used in production of repair
parts for farm machinery. Faciii-
ties exist for processing this ma
terial into the needed parts, once
the demand for these parts is
known. But modern manufacture
ing methods, it is pointed out,
make it essential that manufac-
turers know we'll in advance what
demand to expect for a particular
part, such as a transmission gear
for a tractor. If the demand for
such part was to be 500, the
manufacturer would want to make
the entire lot at one time, as he
could not afford to assemble the
various machines needed the
necessary number of times to turn
out in small lots.
1t will be a satisfaction, as we'll
as a safeguard to have the ma
chimes in good condition for opera
ton when the time comes for their
use.

WISE MERCHANTS ADVERTISE
IN THE HAGERSTOWN GLOBE

compares with $14 billions paid
for war materials in the first IS
months of the defense program.
To increase the size of the armed
forces, equip them and continue
to supply goods for Lend-Lease,
can only mean that curtailments
will have to be made in the con-
sumption of all metal goods and
the manufacture of them. Until
new sources of basic materials are
discovered and new plants are
built to handle them, the produc-
tion of war goods can only be in
creased at the expense of other
lines which have been so active
recently. These curtailments are
being accepted more willingly now
that we are banded together ma
tionally in one common cause,
even though it means sacrifices of
many kinds.

INDUSTRY STEPS
Up ACTIVITY AT
LEAST SO PER CENT.

In retrospect, the year 1941 may
be divided into two uneven parts
The Japanese attack on December
U did more to make this truly a
United States than all that has
happened since the war began in
1889. A much more unified spirit
exists today than was present
when we engaged in the first
World War AS a result, all that
happened in the first eleven
months in business is insignificant
in contrast to what will develop
now that this country is on a full
time footing. Efforts are being
directed into channels where they
will be most effective. Any sacri-
fees necessary to that end will be
more cheerfully accepted.
In 1941 relatively few sacrifices
were made by the average citizen.
Retail buyers last fall, prior to the
limitations which were placed on
instalment credit or the higher ex-
else taxes, and the record volume
Of holiday purchases, attest to the
fact that not only was the mer
chandise available, but that the
record large payrOlls were being
spent. In many cases, purchases
involved goods which used strate-
gic materials that no longer will be
available for the manufacture o.
such items. When present sup
plies are liquidated, in some in
stances no more will be available.
To manufacture these consum-
ers' goods and to get ready to
make and actually turn out war
supplies, the country's total indus
trial activity has been raised
about 60 per cent since the wars
outbreak in 1889. However, it
was estimated that in late 1941
the equivalent Of only Is per cent
Of the national income was being
utilized in the manufacture of
war goods. Industrial employ
ment, on the other hand, increased
more than 100000 since the war
began, and payrolls have expand
ed disproportionately because of
wage increases and additional
hours worked.
A stepping up of the war produc-
tion program is under way to
where $50 billions and possibly
$40 billions of strategic goods is
turned out in a single year This

Army Airman Say Tanks Are Needed As We'll As Planes

CHICAGO, Aug. - A famous army aviator declared that tanks and artillery were as vitaIly nee essary to win the war as super for airpower.
 The statement was made by Col. Charles Kerwood. Col Ker- wood is chief of the army air force intelligence division.

Old Methods For Ousting Nippons In Aleutians

NEW YORK, Aug - Modern warfare with its tanks and bomb ing planes, won't work in the Aleutians but the old-faShioned bayonet will says Harold Nc Cracken.
 McCracken, nationally known archeologist who spent several years on the AleutianS, declar- ed here that the only way to oust the Japanese invaders from the land IS a sufficient force to chase them with bayonets into the Boring Sea.
 The Japs know every inch of the country and in case of a bombing, can disappear into thelr barbaras like gophers into their holes.
 The barbaras are native huts, part underground and covered by vegetation. They are natural ar rad shelters"

Blame For
 Meat Shortage Placed on OPA

OMAHA Nebr., Aug. - The The National Livestock Associa- ton council blamed the current me9. shortage in certain cities on OPA pr;ce ceilings forcing farm CTS 10 market their cattle before they had fully been fattened.
 The Livestock Council made the charge in an information brief filed with the Price Admin istrat.on office. The brief sum mariz-d testimony was taken from cat.Iemen of 18 states dur ing a meeting at Des Moines, Ia.
 The council declared that un- less the OPA acted soon the meat scarcity might become na- tion-Widc. with meat rationing possibly by December. One of reasons for the shortage cited by the report was the government threat of ceilings in livestock which fr ga.ened some farmers into marketing their cattle 100 or more pounds underweight to beat any price-tixing date.

Japanese Barbarity Shown Up

NEW YORK, Aug. - Thirty two years before Pearl HarbOr, Japanese raiding party struck without warning at an American island only 800 miles from Homo lulu and caused hundreds of deaths.
 The suprise assault, recalled by Alfred M Bailey in the cur rent issue of Audubon magazine, was directed at nesting birds and was accomplished with a degree of cruelty rarely recorded in this era.
 The island is Laysan, a little coral reef two miles long, a mile wide and then the nesting place of myriads of seabirds. There, in 1909, just after President Theo- dore Roosevelt had decreed it and other islands of the Leeward group to be bird sanctuaries, went 23 Japanese market hunt .ers. They had already plundered Midway island, leaving hardly a bird alive.
 At Laysan they found a sea- bird paradise, so crowded that various species took turn nest ing at different seasons of the year. Not only did it have un- counted numbers of albatross, man-o'-war birds and terms, but it had five kinds of birds found in no other place on earth.
 For seven months the Japs clubbed and shot birds without interruption. The wings of more than 100000 were cut off, pack ed in burlap and made ready for shipment to Japan to satisfy the millinery trade. Many were cut from living birds, which were then left to die.
 But the most revolting practice said Bailey, was to let the birds starve to death by the hundreds in a dry cistern so that the fatty tissues of their bodies would be used up, enabling the Japanese to cure the wings with little or no cleaning.
 These fruitful operations were
The Nome nugget., 1942-08-07

interrupted by a U. s. revenue cutter which hauled the raiding party and their bird wings back to Honolulu.
 Ironically enough, it wasn't this raid which caused the great est destruction on Laysan. It was a pair of rabbits released on the island by a well-meaning work man for the benefit of shipWreck ed seamen.
 They and their progeny ate so much of the vegetation that the island became in part a desert Some of the unique species were exterminated.
 Today the vegetation is coming back and-barring Japanese and rabbits - Laysan may regain much of her bird population.

HAvRE DE GRACE, Md, Sept.
19.-Omcials 1T this isolated race
track today anxiously watched at
tendance figures to see how q Fed
eral inquiry into use of rationed
gasoline by fans would affect their
crowds and wagering totals.
Already hard hit by tire and gaso-
line rationing, Havre de Grace suf-
fered new setback yesterday when
the Maryland branch of the Once
OF Price Administration announced
1t had asked several hundred"
motorists to explain the presence OF
their cars at the track.
The OPAs letter to car owners
seen at the track and at other pleas
ure resorts said this office Is ex-
pressing no opinion at this time as
to whether or not your trip was
necessary but 1t asked motorists to
I'LL out and return the attached
questionnaires.
The Qucstionnaires asked what
ration books were held by drivers.
what boards issued them, approxi-
mate non-essential monthly mileage
driven by the motorists, and basis on
which drivers felt they were entitled
to hold supplemental ration books.
Crowds and wagering totals al
ready have suffered at Havre de
Grace. No special buses or trains are
run and regular trains stop three
miles from the track. Several days
ago horse van operator started
hauling patrons from station to
track without charge.
