Heard In The
LOEbieS
PRESSURE
BY DAVID DEUTSCH


PRESSURE is being brought to
Dear on the granddaughter of ia
cob Schiff to stop hammering a.
way at the Senator Walsh case
which her New York Post first
uncovered Those applying the
pressure-the same kind who
thought that MOrgenthau should
not De named Secretary of the
Treasury or Frankfurter a, Su-
preme Court JuStice-point out
that Mrs. George Backer, publish
er OF the Post, is Jewish: and so
is Judge Samuel LeibOwitz, who
was aSsailed by the isOIationist
senators merely because he hap
pened to conduct the hearing on
the dive-keeper who alleged that
Senator Walsh visited his place:
and so is Morris Ernst, attorney
for the Post; and so is Leonard
Lyons, cOlumnist for the Post.
''~-O AAAOC OkAO t4AC VVdlSkl SCOIEs
and so is Walter WinchelI, who
patted the Post on the back and
got blasted in the Senate; and so
is Harvey L. StreIzin, lawyer for
the man who accused Walsh :.
Can't you see you're making anti
SemitisrA, they tell Mrs. Backer,
but like an honest journalist, en-
terpriSing publisher and decent
American, she keeps on challeng-
ing the Senate to conduct an
open hearing to find out the truth.
-. Hats off to Mrs. Backer for
refusing to knuckle under to a
group of Jews who want to olsen
franchise $500, 900 Americans from
expressing their convictions mere
ly because they're Jews.

WAR BOND SALES PUSHED
AMONG STATE EMPLOYEES

To encourage sales of defense
bonds and stamps among State en-
ployees, Governor Herbert X.
O'Conor has announced the appoint
ment of captains for this purpose
in all State Departments. These cap
tains will push the sales among the
employees and will handle all de-
tails of purchasing, collecting and
distribution of bonds and stamps
"It is not asking too much to
request every employee of the var
ious State departments and agen-
cies to help in the present war
effort by purchasing defense bonds
and stamps" Governor O'Conor
said.
"Our nation is engaged in the
most crucial struggle in it's exis-
tence and we can be successful
only il there is united effort among
all the people.
From the experiences of the
past, showing that State employees
have contributed generously to
every worthwhile appeal, l am
confident that there will be most
satisfactory showing. / exort all
of these employees of the State
Government to do everything in
their power to make this campaign
a success"

COLONEL ODER ANNOUNCES
STATE HIGHWAY TRAFFIC
PLAN FOR BLACKOUTs

Colonel Beverly ODER, recently
appointed Liaison officer by Cover
nor Herbert r. O'Conor, has made
public plan for the regulation of
traffic on the open highway during
emergencies Colonel ODER stated
that he wished to emphasize the
plan would not interfere in any way
with the present plans for Air Raid
Warning nor would the plan be en-
forced in Baltimore City or other
municipalities in the, State except
where adopted by the municipali-
it's. Although, the plan is designed
for the open highways, yet accord
ing to ODER, it can be used in cities
and towns in the State.
The Traffic Plan Is designed to
stop traffic during an emergency and
to bring about an orderly movement
of traffic when the 'all clear" signal
is announced. The plan also antici-
pates the diverting of traffic from
main arteries to allow the move
ment of troops, state guardsmen,
state police, and emergency vehicles
in protective civilian defense.
A standard triangular white flag
containing prominent red letters c..
D. mounted on a six-foot pole, has
been adopted. The Maryland State
Police, the Maryland State Guard,
and the local and auxiliary police in
the Counties will be furnished these
flags. to be used to warn traffic to
stop and put out lights. The mobile
units to be used for directing traffic
will also be equipped with smaller
flags of a similar design which will
be displayed on the front and rear
of the vehicles. Persons having
either type of flag, will also be fur
nished Identification cards contain
ing their official authorization to
use the flags during the emergency.
Highway signs will be erected by
the State Roads Commission on the
principal highways leading into the
State warning the motorists to stop
and put out lights when the flags
are displayed. Ten thousand posters,
containing the same story are being
distributed to filling stations, truck
depots, tourist camps and restau-
rants.
Colonel ODER expressed the hope
that all motorists would cooperate
| by stopping and putting out lights
when the flags are displayed and
proceeding when the flags are with
drawn or when directed to move by
the traffic officers.

NYLON GOES TO WAR

For the second time in six months
the hosiery business has been hit
by the war. The War Production
Board has notified the manufacture
ers of nylon of its decision to take
over for war needs practically the
entire output. 1t will be used most
ly in the making Of heavy truck
tires, and yarns of high tenacity
are demanded.
The U. s. hosiery business, which
handles about 100000 pairs a
year, ran into its first war trouble
last summer when Japan stopped
sending raw silk to this country.
Nylon was depended on to furnish
20 per cent of the hosiery demand,
and to double in output by the end
of the present year. Just how much
nylon will be allotted for hosiery,
now that the raw silk stock avail
able has been practically used up,
was not stated. Another thing which
will make hosiery still scarcer Is
the WPB's commitment to allocate
four per cent of rayon production
about 100000 pounds--to Latin
America. The ladies', apparently,
are walking straight toward cotton
stockings, or none at all.

HOW TO FIGHT FIRE

Everyone should be aware of the
immediate necessity of reducing fire
waste, as a direct contribution to
the war effort. Fire, which is the
destroyer of time, labor and essen
tial materials, is the enemy of ma
tional production.
Furthermore, everyone should ask
himself this question: What can
do to help in the war against
fire?"
That is not hard to answer,
Start at home. There may be haz-
ards in your heating system which
can be easily and cheaply corrected
by an expert. There may be frayed
lamp wiring--always potential
source of disaster. In all probability,
your basement, attic and closets
contain old clothes, old magazines
and newspapers, broken-down furni-
ture and other accumulations OF
waste which need only spark to
start destructive blaze. Call the
iunk-man or some charitable or
ganization and get rid of it. Check
garage and work and storerooms
for improper storage of varnish,
paint, cleaning solvents and other
flammables.
Next, go through your place OF
business and look for hazards there.
Check on your extinguishers and
other fire-fighting equipment Ii
you aren't sure of yourself, your
local fire marshal or fire chief will
tell you how to go about it.
Finally, join local civilian de-
Tense group and participate in the
volunteer organized effort to pre-
vent and control fire. In most areas,
scientific instruction is being given.
Take advantage of it.
Doing this will help you--and
help your country The fight against
Are is your fight and everybody s
fight.

GASOLINE RATIONING IN
CANADA

American motorists visiting Can
ada after April / will be subject
to gasoline rationing effective that
date, the Keystone Automobile Club
Club was informed by Stuart Ar
mouT, executive assistant for the
Oil Controller of Canada.
In letter to F. Melvin Brown
Club director of touring, it is stat
ed that coupon books will be sup
piled to American tourists at in.
coming border points, without
charge.
For tourists who intend to remain
less than 48 hours, the limit of gas
oline they may obtain is four units
or twenty gallons. Those who entend
to stay longer than 4S hours will be
entitled to 20 units, or 100 GALLONS
There is a hint in the letter that
the unit" of five gallon may under
go some change, depending on wal
conditions. "You can appreciate, .
the official wrote, 'that in the face
of this world situation, this Depart
ment cannot enter into any com
mitment that the quantity of gaso-
line in the unit will remain at five
gallons throughout the balance OF
the year."
Motorists who remain in Canada
more than 80 days will be able to
obtain additional gasoline by making
application for designated coupon
rationing book in the same manner
as resident of Canada.
Seven "categories" are establish
ed for rationing purposes by the
Canadian government. The amount
of gasoline obtainable by citizens
RACES from 800 gallons per annum
for vehicles in category A to $500
gallons. in category e, which includ-
es rural commercial travellers, rural
mail contractors, and official cars OF
government and diplomatic services.
All vehicles not specifically covered
in the other categories are required
to make application for coupon
books under category A, entitled to
the least amount of gasoline. Coupon
books cost dollar.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR CHILDREN
HAVE THEY BEEN
PROTECTED?

Health forces in Maryland, ac-
cording to an announcement by DR..
R. H. Riley, Director of the State
Department of Health, are coop
campaign now under way, for the
protection of all young children not
already immunized against diph-
iberia and smallpox.
The campaign was started in re-
spouse to the urgent request in
President Roosevelt's Child Health
Day Proclamation, asking that these
special services be carried on dur
ing the period between now and the
first day of May, which has been
officially designated by an Act of
Congress, as Child Health Day.
The campaign is sponsored, DR..
Riley said, by the Conference of
State and Provincial Health Authori-
ties OF North America which includ-
es the directors of all State and Ter
ritorial Health Departments of the
United States, Mexico, and Canada,
and by the U. S. Children's Blu
reau. The U. S. Department of Edu-
cation, the U. S. Public Health Ser
vice, State and local health depart
ments and the public schools are
also cooperating.
Diphtheria is particularly hard
on young children, and experience
has shown, DR.. Riley explained,
that the most favorable time for a
child to be protected against the
disease is when it is between six
months and year old. Nearly all
young children are very susceptible
to it and there is always danger
that the child who has not been
protected against diphtheria will
take it from some other child or
from somebody who has had the
disease and may be carrier of it.
Consequently, while the current
campaign aims especially to reach
children under year old, who
have not yet been safeguarded again
st diphtheria, it is being arranged
for the benefit of all young children
for whom the service has been ne
elected.
''The desirability of vaccinating
children against smallox before they
are a year old, or soon after, holds
good" DR.. Riley continued, with
regard to smallpox, as well as to
diphtheria. Owing to the fact that
Maryland has law which requires
children to be vaccianted, and which
prohibits children from being en-
rolled in any public school in the
State, if they have not been vaccin-
ated, there is less chance of finding
young children in Maryland who
have not been protected against
that disease than there is of finding
those for whom protection against
diphtheria has been neglected.
1T is strongly hoped that the at
tenton that is being attracted by
the Presidents Proclamation to
the Importance of having the child
rem protected against both of these
diseases, will remind parents who
have neglected to have lit done, to
take their children to their doctors
and have them safeguarded against
both diseases without further delay.
Information as to hours and
places Tor public clinics for these SER
vices for children who cannet get
them otherwise can be obtained from
the health officers and public health
nurses in Baltimore City and the
Counties"

ASSOCIATED HOSPITAL
SERVICE

Robert o. Bonnell, President OF
the Associated Hospital Service of
Baltimore, announced the election of
three new members to it's Board of
Directors. The new electees are
Charles s.. Garland of Alexander
Brown and Sons; Sidney r. Miller,
M. D., Baltimore physician; Lowell
j. Reed, Phi. D., Dean of the Johns
Hopkins School of Hygiene and
Public Health, and Director of the
International Health Division of the
Rockefeller Foundation.
These men, and the other mem
bers of the Board, devote their time
and abilities to the direction OF
Maryand's Hospital Service Plan
without compensation of any kind
Mr.. Bonnell also announced a
statement of the Plans progress dur
ing it's four years work in Baltimore
and the counties of Maryland. Over
10000 persons are now enrolled in
this non-profit plan, through 1850
groups of employees, and the Plan
has paid hospital bills totaling more
than $1,2Op,000 for 22,500 patients,
he said. For each dollar paid into
the Plan by subscribers, SO cents is
used for members benefits and cpl
demic reserves, and only II cents is
needed for the cost of operating the
Plan, his report showed.
Mr.. Bonnell stated that many
questions had been asked concern
ing the effect that civilian casual
ties from bomb raids or sabotage
might have on the Plan. He said the
problem had two aspects; first, the
ability of hospitals to care for an in
crease of patients; and second, the
ability of the Blue Cross Plan to
meet it's obligations to it's sub
scribers.
by discharging convalescent pa
tients and postponing admission of
non-emergency patients, said Mr..
Bonnell, the hospitals of Maryland,
without serious disruption of their
work, could handle any probable
numbers of patients resulting from
bomb raids or sabotage, provided
the emergency did not last for an
extended period. AS far as the Blue
Cross Plan is concerned, present
reserves are more than adequate to
provide for probable casualties
among our subscribers, even though
we should be confronted by mass
bombing comparable to that of Great
Britain during the blitz of 1870"
Since it's establishment in Balti-
more in 1887, the Plan spread with
rapidity throughout the entire
State of Maryland. 1t is sponsored
by the general hospitals of Mary
land, functioning as non-profit
organization to provide low-cost
hospital care for members of en-
ployed groups and their families.
The Associated Hospital Service of
Baltimore is one of 81 non-profit
Hospital Plans in the United States
approved by the American Hospital
Association. More than 100000
persons have, through their mem
bership in these Plans, protected
themselves against the unpredic-
table costs of hospital care. Mem
bership in the Maryland Plan is
now increasing at rate of over
$500 subscribers per month.

A WAR REPORT FROM
WASHINGTON
BY ]. e. Jones

Early in February the British Par
lament gave Prime Minister Win
ston Churchhill vote of confidence
by an almost unanimous majority.
and before the month was a little
more than half out his leadership
was again challenged. Under the
British system the head of the
Government may be thrown out on
a days notice from Parliament.
The President of the United Stat
es is chosen for four years, and
the elections, and voters control
that program in our Democracy.
Since we have entered the war the
position of the President has been
strengthened day by day and week
by week.
When you consider that Roose-
welt and Churchill are avowed
comrades" and working in entire
agreement it is little difficult to
understand why England is aiming
such bitter criticism at Churchill,
while the United States follows and
generally approves the leadership of
President Roosevelt. If one is right,
they must both be right. If one is
wrong, they must both be wrong.
In the first World War the politi-
cal leaders of the "Democracies'
called themselves "Allies" and they
all stuck-together. 1t is matte,
of history that they didn't come out
very we'll in the end. General Perish
ing, the Worlds greatest military
leader, withdrew American troops
from Allied control, and marched
his forces to battle and won the
war.
When the politicians and diplo-
mats went into conference at Yer
sailles they made peace treaty
that failed to preserve peace. They
scuttled the American President.
There are millions of people in the
United States living today who still
believe that Woodrow Wilson was
about the only man at the peace
table who honestly supported De-
mocracy.
Are we back where we left off in
1918? The Nations on the West
ern Hemisphere are UNITED Ma
tions'' but they were not united in
the First World War. The Omitted
Nations headed by the United
States and Britain are accepted as a
genuine front for Democracy.
Churchill has to fight constantly
to maintain his leadership. Presi-
dent Roosevelt is definitely accepted
as Americas political and military
leader. The American people re-
spectfully differ on most of his
policies, and he is being criticized
right now because of lack of &C.
ton by the Pacific part of our al
legged "two-ocean navy, and all
forces. The. Philippines, Hawaii and
other regions under the control OF
the United States have been unde.
Tended.
In answer to these demands fol
news and explanations the American
people are told that the United
States is in co-partnership with the
United Nations" around the world
That is the basic situation which
I have tried to summarize in this
correspondence to the Midland
Journal, without dragging in heated
differences of opinion, pro and con
that are being aired on Capital Hill
1t is, at least, comforting to report
that practically all Of the 533 mem
bers Of the two branches of Congress
are confident that the United States
will win our war in the Pacific. But
none of them seem to know how
any more than you and /.
