age capacity for the 1912 crop and i.
announcement that the 1943 acreage
allotment will again be held at the
minimum of 55,00O,OOO acres under

Scattered mill buying also was in
evidence. x
Feeding grains Jagged behind the
upturn in wheat and rye. and at
times showed small net losses. Be-
lief that Government wheat sales
for feed will be authorized by Con-

bushels of wheat. bringing to 109..
600, 900 bushels the additional space
arranged by the Commodity Credit

possibly more storage space will be
provided in this manner.
These bins will be used to house

has taken title, thus freeing an equal.
amount of farm space for the new
crop. They will be located mostly
in western sections of the belt al.
though some will be used as far East
as Indiana and Illinois. Steel bins
with approximately 100000 BUSH

moved from Iowa into the major

pay fine of $100 or serve an addi-
tional 80 days in default on charge
of practicing the healing art with

lowing which the Supreme Court
denied writ Of certiorari.
Defense Attorney S. Preston
Smith yesterday asked leniency for
his client and produced two men
and a woman who testified they
had been helped by medicine"
given them for asthma by the de-
fendant.
Yesterday Judge Casey referred
the case to the probation office for
a report, particularly on the de-
PENDANTS physical condition, be-
fore deciding whether the original
sentence shall stand or be modified.

Mr.. Powers would die in Jail If
committed.
In January. 194l, Judge Casey de-
scribed Mr. Powers offense as the
worst Sort and characterized him
as pseudo medical humbug."

GHANDPS INDIA


 Long ago we formcj the opinion that Mohandas K. Ghandi is one of the greatest personages of this generation. But not sure that he is as wise as we gave him credit for being. Certainly, if all of the people in the world were to adopt the wizened Indians teachings, there would be no more wars. Ghandi is great. He has to be in order to hold the large and loyal following he in one of the worlds largest countries. .A Yet the effect of what Ghandi is doing is to pave the way for the destruction of the very things for which he stands
 China, probably the greatest and potentially most democratic nation in Asia stands with in this fight. But Ghandi has turned opportunist to choose this vital moment when cooperation is needed from all anti-totalitarian nations to- lead open rebellion which to have been "non-violent" and which such wise Ghandi should have been able to see would turn out it has.
 The British not innocent in this development. They have been pompous and foolish in the past on this question, and perhaps may still be.
 But the question and performance of granting n- dependence for India at this time isn't possible The isn't going to stop while this problem is quar- reled out
 Ghandi's latest action may bring dreadful harm to his people than British dominaton could bring in the next 100 years-the hideous and unend- ing tyranny of Japan.

A Daily Referendum
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enquirer) Speaking of the British Parliament great English political scientist once remarked that Parliament be- cause of it's representative character daily ref erendum of the people. One of its primary functions is to maintain surveillance of all public admnistra- ton, to investigate when necessary and to hold the acts of the executive up to the mirror of public opinion.
 It is much the with our Congress in this country, though the Executive is not commit tee of the legislature and directly responsible to it. In wartime criticism of the Executive must be curbed in some degree It must be constructive and temperate But the duty of surveillance continues
 In the main, Congress has maintained this func- tion It is daily referendum of the people, And good example is provided by the recent action ot the House of Representatives in outlawing the pay ment of fees and commissions to sales engineers - the go-betweens contracts.
 There may be instances in which manufacturers representatives in Washington have served useful purpose But there have been actually millions dol lars paid to some agents who play essential part but merely lead manufacturers to think between is necessary to get contracts
 This is costing enough without payments 10 smooth-talking men in Washington who contribute nothing genuine to the war effort Nobody resents the payment of proper wage to the who works on war orders of fair profit to the businessman who produces the goods. But there is resentment when nonproductive middleman with pretense of political influence takes a cut.
 In this case the Naval Committee of the House. headed by Representative Carl Vinson of Georgia has done real service. Even while the nation is straining every to get production it remains the duty of Congress to that money is not wasted

SETTING WIPE

Here is the inside story on the situation which has been boiling inside the WIPE for days.
 When tin and iron first became scarce, the brewers and bottling companies were ordered by WIPE to reduce their use of bottle caps to 70 per cent of l94o. They protest ed. An appeals hearing was held, but the order was kept in effect, and meanwhile the tin can unit of the WIPE had started its campaign to get housewives to save tin cans.
 This was not an easy campaign, first, because tin cans are bulky unless cut in two and spread flat; second, because collection is diffi- cult. However, the campaign was started in 36 larger eastern cities, then extended to 1O4 additional cities, all in cooperation with local mayors and local salvage commit tees, which did an excellent job.
 Simultaneously, WIPES tin can unit went to Charles R. Van Etten and Lieut.. Herbert J. Cohen of the Salvage Division of the Army's Quartermaster Corps and arranged to salvage large sized tin cans used in great quantity by the Army.

ARMY BALKS

But their superior, Col Robert M Falkenau, chief of the Quar- termaster's Salvage Division did not. The Army, he said, was sup posed to train men to fight, not save tin cans. And he didn't want army cooks cluttering up the kit chens with empty cans.
 After much persuasion, however, Col. Falkenau was persuaded to try the idea at least in army camps around Pittsburgh and New Jer- sey. Later the plan spread to other camps.
 It must be kept in mind that the salvage job is run through regular business channels. When you save tin for national defense, it goes to your local community or ganization. The organization sells 1t for a nominal sum to "de-tin- ming" plants, where it is prepared for use in munitions industries as scrap steel and tin or as scrap for bombs, all at price set by WIPE.
 When the Army Quartermaster Salvage Division makes its collec- tions, it. operates just as a village or municipality. It has supply of junked material available for sale to the de timing outfits.
 In the case of the Army, just as 1t was giving Al cooperation, the brewers and some soft drink bottlers stepped in and offered the Quartermaster three times as much the price set for the tin cans by WIPE. Simultaneously hospitals, colleges, municipal governments re- ceiyed lush offers from the bot tiers and brewers.
 So local salvage committees. which have accomplished tough patriotic job, are beginning to get sore And the tragedy is that the next time a call comes to collect and save a vital war material, it may not be so easy.

 It was only then and after talk ing to Al Smith, Gov. Lehman and Luigi Antonini of the American Labor Party. that Roosevelt turned to Senator Jim Mead, whom he actually needed in the Senate.
