FAINT net skirts. Perhaps It's wiser to
choose something not quite so fussy
if you're planning it for afternoon
as well as evening, but If your ac-
tivities include a great deal of dining
and dancing these frilly bouffant
styles are great while they last.
Black sheers seem to be the ia
vorites and. can be worn straight
through the summer with huge hats
or tiny calots. Pastels also are repre-
sented. however, and the soft
shades of green and blue are cool
looking and flattering to almost
any complexion. The idea is to get
street-length frock with such
dressed up" features as a lace
yoke, pleated apron front, shirred
bodice or any one of the other
details that make 1t strictly party
dress" Think about this idea when
you buy dinner gown for summer.
You'll get plenty of wear out of
one of these shorter styles if you
live an average Washington life and
you'll be amazed to find how perky
it will make you feel to be dressed up
without being conspicuous" This
is one fashion the boys are going to
like, too.

Teacher Must
BeCaln in
Wartime
Should Not Talk
To Youngsters
About Fear
D., HArxfx Dx<.:
By Angelo Pafri

Teachers always carry grave re-
sponsibility. Under their care big
group Of children assemble daily.
In time Of emergency the teacher is
In control: it Is she who inspires
her charges with courage and treats
them so that they feel no need of
being brave because they have felt
no fear.
Teachers have led children safely
out Of buildings-while fire engines
screeched in the street, smoke rolled
through the halls-without a break
in the long lines, without q sign of
fear. Every school has emergency
drills and all teachers know how to
conduct them. There need be no
trouble about these wartime days If
all drills are considered as the usual
emergency drill without mention Of
danger.
To those teachers who are Just
beginning word of caution may be
needed. Be quiet. When the bells
ring, when there comes to you a
silent signal for prompt dismissal in
emergency order, take it as calmly
as you would the ordinary dismissal
bells. If you do there will be no
trouble.
Don't talk to the children about
fear or danger. Don't tell them
they must be brave, and don't call
them soldiers. They won't like that
kind of talk and 1t may frighten
some Of them. Just take the order in
your stride. an everyday matter, and
let it go at that.
OF course you are afraid. Who
isn't. But get busy and the fear will
vanish. Shoulder the responsibility
for the dismissal to safety of these
children and fear will not stay with
you an instant longer. One thought
crowds out another. you know. Keep
your mind on the job and don't say
an unnecessary word.
Don't run. Don't say, Hurry,
hurry" Set the rhythm of the
march by a silent beat of your fin
ger in the air, baton that calls
for a quick forward march in good
spirit.
1t is not necessary, in instructing
the children, to talk about towards
or about being cowardly. That is out.
Good administration calls for action
positive and direct, and only posi-
tive and direct thinking and speech
will produce that kind of action.
Prepare for emergency drills. but
don't talk about it. Look over the
group and decide which among
them are the sturdy souls. Assign to
each of those a child less stout
hearted. But keep that to yourself.
Seat the children so that this part
nership is easy to hold in a rapid
dismissal. So train the children that
the right-hand partner. the strong
one, will understand his RESPONSE
bility without having it underscored.
Train the children to hang their
wraps, place their hats and books
in such fashion that they can be
caught up quickly and without con-
fusion. Children will run back for
a cap, or a beloved pencil box: SO
arrange that no beloved objects
are brought to school and all other
belongings are easy to find.
Strengthen your own spirit. II

W.P. B. Says Priority Order
Won't Hurt Silver Mines
By the Associated Press.

War Production Board officials to-
day minimized the effect upon gold
and silver mines Of yesterdays Or
der barring them from priority aid
under the general order granting
blanket priority assistance on main
tenance and repair materials to pro-
ducers of essential war metals.
The action does not cut gold and
silver mines off from all priority
aid. although it does put them in
lower priority class than pro-
ducers OF copper, iron and coal, a
w. P. B. spokesman said. He COM
mented on the estimate Of Gov
Carr Of Colorado, that probably 40
to Is per cent Of Colorado's popu-
lation will be absolutely deprived of
a means of living"
Gov. Carr said that gold and sill
yer mines now threatened with
shutdowns produced large quanti-
ties of lead, zinc and copper as by
products.
Gold and silver mines can still
apply for individual priority GER
tificates," the w. P. B. spokesman
declared. "In most cases they will
get some assistance. However, the
board does not feel that these mines
should have the right to use, on
their own authority the blanket pri-
ority power to obtain as much re-

BY the Associated Press.
Maj. Gen. Eugene Reybold, chief
Of Army Engineers, told the House
Ways and Means Committee today
State and local taxation OF defense
contracts materially increases the
cost. of the wr effort"
Gen. Reybold appeared in support
of legislation by Representative
Cochran, Democrat, of Missouri
which would exempt the Federal
Government from State, territorial
and local taxes on the sale, pur-
chase, storage, use or consumption
of tangible personal property used
in performing defense contracts.
Gilbert H. Hewitt, director of the
gross income tax division OF the
State Of Indiana, however, told the
committee that the measure would
destroy the power Of the States
to tax to carry on normal functions
of government" and would con-
stitute IAN unwarranted invasion
of the fundamental power OF the
State"
Gen. Reybold said the bill would
relieve the national defense effort
of the load of local taxation"
1t was brought out that % States
have legislation permitting taxa

the opinion that there is no reason
why % States should tax the Federal
Government and impose the burden

W. P. B. Orders Halt
To Truck Output as

Requirements Exempted
From Regulation
BY the Associated P,ess.

BY the Associated P,ess.
The War Production Board today
ordered halt to the production Of
trucks Of any size Immediately on
exhaustion of supplies of fabricated
or partly fabricated materials which
we're in manufacturers hands on
February %.
Direct military and lease-lend Or
ders for trucks or troop carriers were
exempted from the stock-order.
Manufacturers of medium trucks,
whose large production quotas have
been Cancelled, were prohibited from
turning out more of this type on
completion Of their February quotas.
Production of heavy trucks, de-
fined as those weighing more than
10000 pounds, probably can continue
for several months with fabricated
or partly fabricated materials on
hand, it was stated, but no further
materials may be fabricated.
The new order will concentrate
materials now in the hands of the
truck industry on production of the
heavier types needed for hauling or
supplies, w. P. B. explained, and
will conserve large quantities OF
steel and rubber for war use.
The prohibition against equipping
trucks with tires was continued in
force. Under earlier w. P. B. orders,
tires may be placed on trucks only
to enable their delivery to dealers,
after which the tires must be re-
turned to the manufacturer.
The order does not affect recent

In his argument for the Govern

that Viereck, in registering as a
German agent, had listed his work
only as that of author and journal
ist," whereas State Department reg
ulations required him to set forth
fully his activities.
"Viereck always worked through
other people" Mr.. Hickey added
"He knew that propaganda never
works if it is exposed, that it feeds
on camouflage and dies upon ex-
posure"
"Dennett Was Stooge."
Mr.. Hickey traced the testimony
indicating that Viereck had worked
through members of Congress in
distributing his propaganda. The
evidence showed, Mr.. Hickey con-
tended, that Viereck had organized

sounding patriotic names" such as
the Make Europe Pay War Debts
Committee, headed ostensibly by
Prescott bennett.

War Prisoners Suggested
To Help Harvest Crops

Earlier Story on Page B-1.)
A suggestion that farmers use war
prisoners to help harvest their crops
in the face of farm labor shortage
was made this afternoon at the
Northeastern Dairy Conference.
The suggestion came from P C..
Turner, president of the Maryland
Farm Bureau Federation, to dairy
men from II Eastern States meeting
at the Ambassador Hotel
we hope our war machine will
soon be rolling. that war prisoners
will be available to harvest crops" he
said.
He added that he did not think it
necessary for farmers at this time
to start studying German, Italian
or japanese languages so as % be
able to direct this labor"
The speaker disclosed that his
federation was investigating the
possibility of also using men from
conscientious objector camps for
farm work.
The speaker also proposed re-en-
actment of World War I legislation
which made it mandatory for every
man to either work or fight" He
added that "shiftless labor" should
either be inducted or made to work.

Statement Detailed.
Mr.. Dies recalled that the COM

cause Of the appearance before. it of
representatives Of the American
Youth Conference. who were accom-
panied by Mrs Eleanor Roosevelt.
The wife of the Chief Executive
appeared with the witnesses, sin
cerely and honestly believing in her
idealism that this organization was
a bona fide organization, he said.
She believes the Dies committee
was the instrumentality of the re-
dictionary forces of this country;
and she permitted those witnesses to
be her guests at the White House
during the time the investigation
took place
In justice to Mrs. Roosevelt. she
finally discovered the truth, and she
publicly admitted that she had been
deceived by them.
And when joseph Lash appeared
before our committee in executive
session few weeks ago. what did
he say? This was the same Joseph
Lash who with arrogance walked
into the committee room with Mrs.
Roosevelt during our previous hear
ing and attempted to ridicule the
committee and read poem at
tempting to cast ridicule upon its
chairman, what did he admit in ex-
ecutive session-and I think I am
privileged to tell this?
He admitted that we were right
all the time. He admitted that
he had admittedly sought, he and
the others, to ridicule the commit
tee, and to prevent us from OBJ
tanning the truth. Yet he was the
man at that time who was leading
the same so-called liberal forces of
this country and the same group
