 Wickard visited Chicago t9 erga that MidWestern Farmers feed their stock some of the na- tons wheat surplus instead of carn which he said might not be so profitable. He explained that the corn supply was needed to feed 18t2 million more hogs be- .rg raised this year. Wickard laughed at the threatened short age of prime beef, a small per- cantage of the total beef produc- ton. Said the agricultural chief:

League of Women Voters
NEWS LETTER
(by Mrs. J. B. Yaukey)

Approximately fifty women
gathered at the Gaithersburg fire
house Monday afternoon to discuss
the work of the Women's Division
Of the Maryland Defense Council
end to hear Mrs. Bernard Oliver
Chevy Chase, explain the purpose
and plan of the Citizens Informa-
tion Service, wartime program OF

of Women Voters. Mrs. Oliver was
invited to meet with this group by
Mrs. George Young, of Washington
Grove, herself a member of the
league.
Mrs. Fred Snyder, Glenbrook
Road, Bethesda, recently visited
Atlantic City and came back dis
couraged because of the unthinking
propaganda spreaders she had
heard there and determined at once
to find out whether there was any
way Of combating fiction of this
kind with fact. She was referred
to the work the league is doing

ing room with friends who too
want to know what the Citizens
Information is doing to disseminate
facts.
Mrs. William ]. Duiker, Morgan
Drive, Chevy Chase, reports that
ner neighborhood unit has come to
the conclusion that the twelve
hours discussion material provided
in the kits which Mrs. Ralph Him
stead, Chevy Chase, prepared is
not going to be enough for her
fact-hungry group Of neighbors.
When a particular question is
raised someone is likely to suggest
that it could be better answered if
more research were allowed for. So
the subject broadens and deepens.
The ticklish subject of Strikes
was taken up last week and opin-
ions were many and varied, but
certain facts emerged as indisput-
able.

Older Men Nav Serve

Nearly fourteen million between the ages of
45 and GA will understand that the nation is at
April 81 when they register for selective service
To most of these men, the registration will be
called upon to the nation They are quite sure
that the emergency will be without drafting
them.
The probability is that this conclusion is correct
but it depends upon what happens the battleieds

Propaganda

We do not know how many people listen to short
stations that send out Axis propaganda but it is
important that they understand the tactics employed
by the enemies of this country
For example, German broadcast to the United
States on January 20 declared that the British deter
mine Washingtons policy. Churchill requests Roose-
welt obeys." On February g. German broadcast to
Britain asserted that "he strategic directions die
tated solely by Washington Washington orders,
Churchill obeys."
On February 4, a German broadcast to the United
States said that 80 long the mothers of the United
States willing England will fight to the last
drop Of Iowa blood" and few days later broadcast
to Britain stated the British do the fighting while the
Americans carry on in the home garrison"
We hardly imagine that loyal Americans will be
influenced by such propaganda when it from
German radio stations However, there Axis agents
and foolish Americans spreading the same kind of
poison their The greatest break that the Axis
could have at this time would be the development of
bad feeling between the peoples of the United States
and Great Britain. If suspicion can be engendered
that each will suspect the other of holding back, the
prospect of Axis success will be greatly improved.
Let us remember that Axis radio propaganda should
be disregarded and that should also repudate the
efforts of disoyal Americans to create suspicion of
allies

Air Raid Danger

There is a possibility that enemy planes might raid
industrial and coastal Cities but the results
complished would hardly be worth the expenditure

There is only way in which haphazard afraid

result of raids, the people of the United States and
officials heed the demand by distributing soldiers and
weapons for the purpose, the purpose of the enemy
raid would be accomplished
Generally speaking, the Pacific Coast is likely
to experience attacks than the Atlantic Coast accord
ing to James M Landis director of the Office of Civil
ian Defense. Because of the possibility however, it
does not follow that the United States should attempt
to protect every city and town with antarcraft guns
This would require the service of weapons needed by
soldiers and ships. It might strengthen the morale of
civilians but it would be at the expense of the lives
of soldiers and sailors.
While it is highly proper for every community in
any threatened to take every precaution against
air raids and to make reasonable preparations to meet
emergencies that might occur the civilian population
must make up its mind to fight its part of the
Under no circumstances must stop the flow of
weapons to the fighting fronts and antiarcraft guns
