Rehabilitation Setup
Conducted by F5A
Asked by President
Message to Congress
Says q Million Now
Wait Such Assistance

President Roosevelt today asked
Congress to establish in the Federal
Security Agency a single rehabilita-
ton service to aid the physically
handicapped both from military and
civilian ranks during and after the
| war.
The message arrived at the Capt.
tol while the Senate Education and
Labor Committee was in session
considering bill by Senator La
Toilette, Progressive, of Wisconsin
to accomplish the same objective
by a broader program of Federal
aid to State rehabilitation systems.
The President estimated that a
million persons are now waiting
for the help Of such service,
which would make them available
| as manpower for war industries or
agriculture.
Predicts Victory.
I'VE are going to win this war,
but the winning will require the
best efforts of every individual" :"
the President began his message.
Because of the great strides made
by medical science in the last 20
years. the President said, a much

WE STILL HAVE TO WIN

Military stroteeists agreed months oeo that if
Hitler we're to win this war he must do by this
tumn The Nozs have not yet, and is inconceiv
obe that they can achieve the elements Of victory
between now and winter
So it seems reasonable to believe thot Hitler has
lost his chance Of winning. But the other hand he
has not yet lost the war; On the contrary Of today
the United Nations still are losing that.
BY the successful ferocity Of their initial ottocks
Germany and Japan both won huge preliminary vic

ohito can not possibly grind the United Motions into
submission.

alton thot from now on he plans to pIoy for stole

If we permit Hitler to achieve his stoemote,
then he will not have won his major goal - world
conquest - but he will have gone far toward it, The
best terms on which we could obtain peace in such
stoemote would leave Germany and Japan masters

Hawks as an almost perfect du-
plicate of the wilds of Midway
Island.
The background story of Air
Force began just several weeks
after Dec. 7. Director Hawks
and Dudley Nichols, author of
the script, flew to Washington TO
see Gen. II. H. Hap Arnold.
He advised them to tell the
facts-to tell how the Yanks took
it on the chin and kept taking it
on the chin, and then how they
started to dish it out to the Japs.
He turned the key for them 10
the archives of the Army Air
Force, and told them to go to it..

company: During night filming

camera lens and almost mutilat-
ed the actors.

1t was hot, too, in Tampa. Hot
. and sticky. After five weeks
and five days the company
boarded their return air-condi-
toned special with unbounded
delight. But the fresh GOODNESS
was too much for them by then.
More than half arrived back in
Hollywood with miserable colds.
And back at the studio, it was
no living room drama, either. In
one of the biggest sequences, the
attack on Hickam Field, the act
ors worked on stage filled with
smudge smoke that brought
coughs and Redeemed eyes. For
days on end they wore the same
tattered, greasy, dirty uniforms
of men they were portraying
who had not time to eat or to
sleep, but only to fight.
1t was hard job of work to
do. But the actors liked the as
signment. They didn't play any
scenes with cute girls with
shapely legs and big blue eyes
and long eyelashes. There
weren't any kissing closeups.
But they had the SWEETEST lead
ing lady on the screen-MaIy
Ann.

. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTONe

the Mississippi delta, Texas, Ari-
IONA and New Mexico. So the
Army's rayo-cord program, in
stead of hurting the cotton farm
ers, is really a new market for
them. What the rayo-cord pro-
gram hurts is the manufacturer
of cotton cords.
All the trouble that the y. S.,
South and Central American re-
publics are taking to increase
production of native rubber in
Latin America has raised the
question of what happened to
Henry Ford's Amazon vale y
ru b be r. growing experiment.
Ford's first paintings were kill
ed by a blight.
New paintings had to be made
and the years of nursing had to
run their course again while the
trees matured. The rubber tap
ped at Fordlandia, as the plan
tation is called, will be shipped

ONE LESS CAN?
War Production Boards ap-
peal to 81 million American
families to reduce their pur-
chases of canned goods by one
can a week is being questioned
by some cannery people. WPB
figured this curtailment would
save 10000 tons of steel and
$500 tons of tin a year-enough
steel for 5000 tanks, enough tin
for 100000 howitzers.
But the cannery people figure
it like this: 81 million cans a
week for SO weeks a year is
1912 million cans or 1874 million
dozen cans, which is more than
the pack of the entire nation in
a normal year.
Asking people to cut down
their buying of canned goods
just keeps the metal in the cans
on the shelves in the stores,
which is metal boarding.
Gamers say it doesn't make
any difference to them whether
the people restrain their pur-
chases or not, because the stores
are going to sell every can that
can be put up, anyway.
Where the danger lies Is that
people may buy up these can
ned goods and hoard them in
pantry or basement, thus hoard
ing the metal, too. The appeal
to the public should be direct
ed, say the Gamers, aga in S
boarding and towards buying
only what is needed for immedi-
ate consumption.
Gas. water and electric COM
panies complain to Washington
that their meter readers can't
get into peoples houses to do
their work. Reason seems to be
that so many hoarders have
stocked up on tires, sugar, cof-
fee, canned goods and even gas
oline, to such an extent that
they lock up the cellar and be-
cause of their guilty consciences
won't even let the meterread-
ers have a look, for fear they'll
be reported.

Don't let reference to the new
$50 billion tax bill" fool you.
The So billion tag covers just
the amount of the increase in
taxes which it is hoped the new
law will bring in. Total revenue
which the Treasury estimates 1t
will take in during a year UNI
der this law and the holdover
provisions of previous federal
tax laws is $24 billion.
But with the federal govern
ment now operating on a budget
of S78 billion for the fiscal year
l943, this means that the differ
ence between $78 billion and
S24 billion, or $54 billion, will
have to be raised by borrowing.
Sales of war bonds and stamps
will raise SIP billion, but that
still leaves $42 billion to be rails
ed by loans from banks.
Here you have the principal
reason why the Treasury De-
partment will ask Congress for
another supplementary tax bill,
after election. Best dope is that
when it comes, it will have TO
include a sales tax. Budget for
1914, by the way, may be over
500 billion, which can only mean
still more taxes for l944.
War Department has found a
new way to win the war. Out
side the main entrance OF the
Munitions building in Washing

two military police officers, one
a major, the other a captain or

that officers leaving the build

REGARDING RAYON
One thing the Senate's cotton
bloc overlooked when it tried
to stop Rubber Director William
M. LETTERS from going ahead
with a rayon cord program for
heavy duty Army tires is that
rayon cord truck tires don't
have to be tested. They were
first introduced as "rayo-cords
in 1887 and have been on the
market for truckers ever since,
a proved commercial success.
Another point the cotton SEN
ators didn't develop is that this
rayon is made from short sta
pie cotton fibers. There is sur
plus of short staple cotton, which
is raised principally in the
southeastern states. Long staple
cotton comes principally from

of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute
at Auburn who was also state Exten-
sion Service Director in the early
days Of the AAA program laid the
foundation for an organization that is
the most significant political power in
the state. That the Farm Bureau
checks off thousands of dollars from
farmers and that no accounting is
made of the expenditure of funds to
the membership. That the funds are
used in political campaigns, $4,000
was reported to have been spent in
campaign to elect Farm Bureau
man state commissioner of agricul-
ture and industries in 1886. That this
year the Farm Bureau is supporting
a candidate for this position and that
his opponent is as good as defeated
before the polls open May 5.
5. That 1t Is the practice of AAA
officials in Alabama counties to de-
liver government checks to farmers
and that these officials are accom-
panied by agents Of the Farm Bureau
with sufficient money to cash all
checks and deduct membership dues.
That another method of inducing pay
ment of membership dues is through
the control of fertilizer manufactured
by the Tennessee Valley Authority
for free distribution by the AAA
county committee and that farmers
are told that unless they are members
of the Farm Bureau no fertilizer will
be given them.
6. That the methods of checking
off Farm Bureau membership fees
vary from state to state and that in
Arkansas plantation owners charge
the $3.50 per year to the accounts
of tenants and sharecroppers or from
the wages of day laborers. That
members of the Southern Tenant
Farmers Union who refuse member
ship in the Farm Bureau are dispos-
sessed from the land
7. That in Mississippi both methods
of checking off Farm Bureau pay
ments are used. That one-half of the
Farm Bureau membership in this state
is located in the six Delta counties
where the population is from 73 to
81 per cent negro, and that three
fourths of the members are colored
sharecroppers or day laborers whose
dues have been checked off by their
plantation owners.
