Bins Bullying, Shall We Plant More Grain?

1t also Is contended by those who
oppose a reduction in wheat that half
the world is starving and that it
would be the humanitarian thing to
produce and accumulate stocks against
the day when those hungry people could
be fed. Those who favor a reduction
retort that supplies now available in
this country, Canada, Australia and
Argentina-the worlds four major pro-
ducing areas-are sufficient to supply
pre-war world markets for three years.
1t is true that Russia, having lost its
rich wheat-producing area of the
Ukraine to Germany, could use many
million bushels Of American grain. Off
cials must take into consideration the
need for other agricultural products.
Larger quantities of meats, poultry and
dairy products, vegetable oil crops and
vegetables are required.
The A. A. A. may work out program
giving farmers wheat allotments equal
to those in effect this year. Those al
lotments would total 55,0O0,000 acres.
The program would offer special sub
sides to those farmers who were in
position to divert part or all Of their
allotment to other crops. This diversion
program would be applicable to farmers
in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Pennsyl-
vania, where shifts are more feasible
than in the big wheat States of Kansas,
Oklahoma, Texas, Nebraska and the
DakotaS.
Such a program might result in wheat
paintings of about 100000 acres. With
normal yields, such an acerage-although
far below average-would produce suf1i-
cient grain for this countrys own needs
for year.
II it were not for the war, the A. A. A.
would not hesitate to cut wheat to 4O,-
100000 acres-the smallest in more than
so years.

SEATTLE-Big-wigs of the Episcopal
church trooped into London a few years
back for a world pow-wow.
They came from all over the world.
And it's reported the gentlemen from
the far spots were slightly informal. you
know-and none quite so informal as
ruddy faced, plain-spoken, the Right
Rev Peter Trimble Rowe, the Bishop of
Alaska.
And to this day Bishop Rowe chuckIes
about 1t.
You see, the bishops were asked
to tea at Buckingham Palace. Rowe
hadn't given Buckingham protocol much
thought because his working clothes for
years had been high boots and an Eskimo
parka. But his son insisted, Father, you
know you must wear bishops hat to
Buckingham"
What? Where do you buy the
things?"
The bishop bought "the thing" wore
it, and felt silly.
Then the conference ended The
Rowes, father and son, were packing in
rush when the bishop found the silk
lined box holding his little bishops hat
He scowled at it, then chuckled, turned
to a charwoman in the room and said,
Here, give this to- your husband"
So somewhere in England there's q
layman who owns q bishops hat.
Rowe's whole career has been unortho-
dox for churchman. 1t had to be be-
cause the tough, big-hearted men who
built Alaska would have given little house
room to bishop touched with anemia.
Rowe now is the Oldest bishop in the
service of the Episcopal Church any
where in the world. His 86th birthday
anniversary rolls around this November
But he's still in harness.
He spends the winters in his Seattle
Office, some leisure time in Victoria,
British Columbia, and the summers tour
ing his diocese, an area third as large
as the whole United States, where fish
ing, totem poles and poverty about tell
the story.
Right now Rowe, in his 85th summer
Is coddling plans to slip his doctors
moose. He's itching to be of to the 80
stations in Alaska where the Episcopal
church keeps alive the word of God.
Rowe travels now by boat and plane
But in 1895 when he first took his job
as bishop of all out-of-doors" he walked,
to slip through river rapids no white
man had seen.

MIDLAND, Tex.-In what may be one
of the most significant psychological
ventures in both military and scientific
history, the Army Air Forces are setting
out to "predetermine" $4,000 heroes of
World War II.
These prospective heroes are the bonn
bardiers who will man the famous Amer
ican bombsight high over the enemy OBJ
jectives in offensive actions expected to
transcend anything yet seen. All OF them
are potential heroes because they soon
will be personally blasting place for
themselves in history as they man the
mechanisms and give the commands that
will rain American bombs on the Axis.
The nature of the bombardier's as
signment calls for unfaltering heroism,
both mental and physical. He must:
l. Keep locked within his brain the
carefully guarded secret OF the mysteri-
Gus bombSight for which enemy agents
would gladly pay any price. 2. Calmly
unravel q. knotty trigonometry problem
while hurtling through torrents of enemy
shellfre miles above the earth. 3. Car
ry out delicate series of adjustments
with the bombsight's knobs and dials
while bundled in heavy, fur-lined cloth
ing and wearing an oxygen mask clamped
to his nose 4. Wait patiently and cool
ly for two crucial minutes over the
enemy target while hostile fighters zoom
out of the clouds.
To choose these young men, the Army
Air Forces have assigned a corps of
psychologists to classify the cadets now
reporting for aircrew training and to
select through a series of very unusual
mental and physical tests the scant
number who can meet the exceptionally
high bombardier specifications.
The details of these hero tests" can
not, of course, be divulged beyond
general statement that they involve
mental alertness, physical stamina and
high degree Of manual dexterity. But

extraction have marked aptitude for
bombardier training. Under the Nazi
new order" Poles are regarded as infe-
rior people, lacking all the heroic quail
ties.
The scientific tests now given to the
prospective bombardiers, as well as to
cadets qualified for pilot and navigation
training, may well alter Americas hero
habits"
Heretofore, the pilot has been the
"glamous boy" of the aircrew. perhaps
because his role has been visualized in
young minds as being somewhat akin
to that of the medieval knight who rode
out alone to annihilate the forces of evil.
During World War I when pilots usually
flew alone in flimsy planes and engaged
enemy pilots in solitary combat, that
comparison was generally true. In those
days, the pilot frequently dropped the
bombs by peering over the edge of his
cockpit and making a good guess.
Sometimes he painted guiding lines along
the outside of his plane and sighted
along these in aiming his bombs
But the Development of the modern
bomber, with all its complex machinery
and armament. and especially the per-
fection of the super-secret American
bombsight, has eliminated the prima
donna from today's aircrew. The pilot
now shares equal responsibilities with
the bombardier and the navigator. If
there is an aircrew counterpart of the
knight in shining armor, 1t is the bonn
bardier, for he is the man who person.
ally draws the bead and lets fly at
the enemy.
The first raid on Toxic has demon
strated the public's sharp appetite for
news that Uncle Sam Is now dishing it
out after taking it for some months.
The bombardier-the official "disher-
outer" of the aircrew-is the man who
more than any other can make more
news Of that variety.

may f1guratively be carrying Con-
gressional Medal of Honor or a Distin-
guished Flying Cross in the pockets OF
the civilian suit he is now wearing.
This prospect is highly intriguing from
several standpoints. First. the scientific
selection of these bombardier heroes will
provide the United Nations with group
of "hen from heaven men" large and
skiIlful enough to deliver simultaneous
blows against the enemy in all parts OF
the world. Second, 1t will transform
within the space of a few months
group of young Americans from all
walks of life into a compact unit already
called "the most dangerous men IN the
world"
This metamorphosis itself should be
doubly discomf1ting to Adolf Hitler, for
he and the Nazis can expect to feel
the impact of these lords of the Amer-
ican bombsight" not only on their mill
tary and industrial nerve centers but
also on one of Nazidom's most cherished
fasifications-the "herrenvolk theory"
which holds that the German Nordic
bloodstrain automatically creates supe-
rior beings.
Were the bombardier classification
tests to halt now, sufficient evidence
would be on hand to refute the "herren-
volk theory" For the bombardiers al
