A NY FARMER who thinks back to World War
will remember when he got good prices for
milk, meat and eggs and farm crops He will re-
call other occasions when he got mighty low prices
for them. And if he starts figuring out the why's
and whens Of farm prices, he will find that he
got good prices when the workingman in the city
was paid good wages, thus had money to buy
what the farmers raised.
The farmer also will remember that farm
prices fell whenever industrial employment had
of jobs Even a lOng-haired economist could figure
out, therefore, that the farmer has an interest in
seeing after-the-war employment sustained at the
highest possible levels. That will mean good farm
prices, good living, and good profits for the
farmer
Everybody knows what happened after the
last war We did stall the depression off for few
years, but when it arrived it was a ten year
honey. Well, here we are in another and much
bigger war and one of the problems which fore
sighted folks are thinking about is how to avoid
another depressiOn-and worse One-after this
war
The United States Senate has before it plan
which looks like good sense 1t gives corporations
a tax credit equal to 2O96 of their war profit pro-
vided they invest this amount in Recovery Bonds.
These Bonds, according to the proposal would not
be cashable during the war, they couldn't be used
as collateral for borrowing money, nor would they
bear any interest-untl after the war.
But once the victory is ours they instantly
bear interest and become saleable. Such bonds
then would provide manufacturers with the cash
to change their plants over from the building Of
war materials to the manufacture of the thou
sands and one articles, the making of which has
always given employment to millions of men, but
which items are now out of production for the
duration.
We favor taking the big profits out of war
work; we favor taxing everybody, including cor
poratons, to the limit necessary to get this Vic
tory job finished, but unless we permit the manu-
facturers of this country to come out of this war
with enough cash to shift plants from the making
of rifles and tanks and planes, back to the making
of those everyday things Of life which will give
after -the-War jobs by the million to American
workers we will have another terrible economic
crash.
Farmers don't want to see breadlines in the
Cities or sherif's sales in the country We all had
enough of those things in the last depression. We
are for any sensible plan that will provide the
money to finance the prompt change-over Of war
production to peace production-and we think this
idea of compelling corporations to buy Recovery
Bonds up to 2Of6 of their war profits as a credit
toward taxes and thereby acquire fund for plant
after the war, is sound program to
help keep farm prices out the the postwar dumps.
We hope that they will buy billions of dollars
worth Of these Recovery Bonds because the people
of this nation will need billions of dollars for this
herculean Transformation from war to peace.

WE FACE THE FUTURE UNAFRAID

W1l11 1RESlDENl L roosevelt warning OOnSIeSe
W either to draft and pass necessary Legislation
pertaining to taxes, farm prices and wages by
October 1st or else he will do it for them by
executive order; with ratiOning of gas and drastic
limitation of private automobiles ahead many per-
sons for the first time beginning to realize
the discomforts Of war. Next January, when we
start paying income and other taxes taken out OF
our pay envelopes every week. we will be given
weekly reminders that are expected to pay and
make sacrifices for our liberties. And later on,
when ration cards are allotted for meat and other
food products, wearing apparel, fuel oil and the
like the impact Of alI-out war will be brought into
the intimate family life Of the average American
home.
There is no reason to face these inevitable re-
strictions upon our social activities and living
standards with either fear or misgVings. In every
regard we are much better off than other people
at war There will be sufficient food, entertain
ment and other things left to satisfy civilized
requirements. The restrictions on use Of auto
mobiles may be hard on those restless souls to
whom keeping on the go has heretofore been an
avocation, but getting acquainted with the home
and its charms may prove q blessing in disguise
for these gadaboutS.
These sacrifices and others yet to come are not
high prices to pay for that priceless possession
called freedom, when the flower of our youth are
offering their lives in its defense We Americans
have enjoyed q large degree of freedom and oppOr-
us to defend that hbertarian way Of life to the
utmost and pay for its rare privileges. Our fore
fathers bought those privileges at Valley Forge
and upon a hundred battle fields We who bene-
fitted from their sacrifices must be prepared to
follow courageouSly in their footsteps and pre-
serve our liberty and traditions for our children
and their children. That is the American Way.
We must not, will not fail, cost what it may.
The Axis and everything it stands for must be
destroyed

Washington Cogans Turn Out Force This Week for Baseball Practice
Be. {. and Fairfax
Girls Sharpen for
Title Struggle
Final in Stur's Basket
Tournament Tuesday
Promises Thrills

Bethesda Chevy Chase and Fair
fax High basket ball teams line up
Tuesday night at Roosevelt gym in
the final of the girls section Of
The Evening Stars 10th annual
interscholastic tournament with the
feminine Metropolitan champion
ship at stake. The game will begin
at Z O'Clock.
This is much the same setup as
was presented in the hot boys final
with a Maryland and Virginia team
opposing. Washington-Lee captured
the boys crown and will go to the
Glen Falls IN. " tournament,
while Bethesda, the runner-up, par
ticipated last week in the Duke
Durham tourney.
There are no other post-season
tournaments for girls, The Stars
being the windup Of several such
events in this section. Bethesda,
for example, coached by Alice
Morgan, captured the Rockville
tournament and in the first round
of the Metro meet defeated St.
Cecilias, Washington Catholic
School champion. Fairfax won In
Northern Virginia and earned its
way to the final of the Metro tourney
by downing Bowie, champion of the
Hyattsville gold cup tournament.
Title Claim Is Clear.
Thus the winner of Tuesday nights
clash will have clear claim to being
the best girls basket ball team in
this section. That Bethesda and
Fairfax are in the final illustrates a
shift in basket ball strength since
last year, incidentally. Both were
in the 1941 Star Tournament, but
eliminated in the first round.
The two teams in Tuesdays cham
pionship clash proved last week
when they won flrst-round games
that girls basket ball is a much
faster and more exciting game than
many suppose. Each team has a
trio of scoring artists whose work
is balanced by good defensive play
of the guards.
Mildred Stadtler a Hawkeye.
Mildred Stadtler, whose 19 points
led the way in last weeks Bethesda
victory over St. Cecilia's again is
expected to star along with Betty
Milne and Mary Dawson. Coach
Mary Gregory is drilling her girls
every day after school with an eye
to bringing another Metropolitan
title to Virginia. Her best scorers
IN last weeks first round were
Maxine Propitt, Arlene Vernon and
Ella ORoark.
Trophies go to the winning and
runner-up teams, individual men,
bers of the championship outfit, the
outstanding player and the winning

Pro Coaches Oppose
Safety Zone for
Punt Receiver
Three Major Changes
In Code Expected at
PorIey on March Is
By the associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Mar. 14.-Three ma
ior changes to be studied by the
National Football Leagues Rules
Committee in New York March 25
will draw support of most Of the
coaches, but a fourth proposal-to
create q safety zone around the
punt receiver-is doomed to fall
ure, according to comment by the
pro mentors.
Leading the attack on the re-
stricted area around the man catch
ing a punt is Dutch Clark of the
Cleveland Rams, who reported from
his home In Colorado:
TT seems silly to me. Pro players
are supposed to be tops in America
and have the ability to take punish
ment."
Would Be Detriment, Says Jock.
Jock Sutherland OF the Brooklyn
Dodgers declared the restricted zone
would be detriment to the game
in that 1t would make linemen in
clined to loaf instead of going down
the field hard on a punt.
Walter Kiesling Of the Pittsburgh
Pirates suggested modification
which would keep members of the
punting team from running beyond
the defensive clubs 20-yard line un-
til the punt has been touched by the
receiver.
The plan to allow the defensive
team the right to run with a muffed
backward pass If it RECEIVERS the ball
legally after it has touched the
ground was opposed only by George
Halas of the champion Bears and
Earle Greasy Neale of the Phila-
delphia Eagles. Both contended the
rule would mean fewer backward
passes. which they described as a
fine offensive weapon.
Would Relax Sub Rule,
The move to relax the substitution
rule to permit two men to return
to the game in each quarter brought
a rousing okay from all coaches ex-
cept Jimmy Councilman of the
Chicago Cardinals who warned:
II think the substitution rule is
meant to favor the strong team
The old rule tallowing two men to
return only in the final quarter
was concession and good rule
Let's leave 1t alone"
On the fourth proposed rule
change, Ray Flaherty of the Wash
ington Redskins made the same
declaration as the other coaches
II do pot think the defensive team
should be penalized simply because
an ineligible or second eligible re-
ceiver on the offensive team has
touched a forward pass. If the de-
fensive team intercepts it, let them
keep it,"
