Hagerstown. Waste paper, old
boxes and cellars jammed with
refuse, according to those who
took part in the scrap drive a few
months ago, are still lying around
in thickly-populated sections of
the city. If it isn't cleaned up, it
is only fair to assume that we are,
some day, due for General
Alarm.
The fact that we have had few
disastrous fires in our community
is no reason why the Mayor and
Council shouldn't get busy.
We suggest locking the stable
before the horse is stolen-in other
words clean UP these danger spots
before somebody strikes match.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL: PLEASE NOTE!

The recent fire in Boston which
took the lives of hundreds, should
serve as a warning to communities,
especially those in areas where
plants are busily engaged in the
production OF war materials. In
these days, the winning of the war
is uppermost in our minds and we
are prone to overlook the fire haz-
ards that can be found with but
Attle effort.
In peace time, public officials
seem to keep closer supervision over
the dangers confronting citizens.

sanitary conditions, fire hazards,

ARMY MOVES INTO MD.

Many fine homesteads and thou
sands of acres of fishing and recre-
ational grounds in the Free State
have been swallowed up by the
Army and Navy as training camps
Of various sorts. Mostly, the citi-
zens who had their property con-
demned have been fairly we'll paid
and handled with reasonable con-
sideratiOn. But in some cases
there has been undue hardship
Money received was insufficient in
the present market for home own
ers to duplicate what the govern
ment had taken; or in attempting
to build homes on newly purchased
sites the dispossessed were unable
to obtain material priorities.
Most recent case in this connec-
ton was the taking over of 5000
acres for an airport at Camp
Springs in Prince Georges County
For months surveying parties NOV
ed in and out of the area, but those
who became apprehensive were
told that nothing definite had been
decided, the government just want
ed to have a loOk-see.

Mars is now being converted for
the U. S. Navy into what may be

1t may follow that if this con-
verted luxury air liner stands up
to it's war tests either Kaiser or
Andrew Jackson Higgins of New
Orleans will turn out prototypes in
mass production. So far, the pro-
duction is strictly Baltimorean.
And Martin is of the opinion that
with proper heavy defensive arma-
ment, sufficient guns. fast engines
and self-sealing fuel tanks, the

Government Will Make
Future Awards On Ba-
sis of Labor Supply
NEW RULING MAY
HIT LOCAL FIRMS
Plan Will Also Ease Up
Critical Housing
Conditions

If the labor shortage in this area
continues, Hagerstown may expert
ence sharp decrease in the num-
Der of war contracts awarded to
local industries.
The basis of this prediction
comes from Washington where. it
is reported the plan is receiving
favorable consideration. Should
the plan be adopted, war contracts
would then be routed to those
araes where there is a greater
number of workers available in
stead of those communities where
there is shortage. The plan
would also have tendency to
speed up deliveries on schedule
For many months the Govern
ment has experienced a manulac-
turing bottleneck as a result of
contracts being awarded manufac-
turers in areas where the labor
market already is over-taxed. CON
sequently the delivery of these ma
terials have been slowed up Ac-
cording to reliable information,
the Government has for some time
been conducting special labor
survey in various sections of the
country for the purpose of ascer-
tanning just where the labor situa-
tiOn has not yet reached serious
stage, and also to learn whether
or not all labor in the areas are
being fully utilized. This survey
shows quite a few sections where
contracts could be let without fear
of a labor shortage.
The areas are also being classi-
fed according to the surveys. In
those areas where a shortage pre-
walls the area is given a Grade l
rating. AS an illustration, Balti-
more is in Grade /, which would
indicate that manufacturers there
will be given few if any additional
contracts until present orders
have been filled. Hagerstown is
reported to be in Grade II and
nearing higher classification.
The only exception to the rule,
it is said is where the material
cannot be manufactured else
where because of type of equip
ment, etc.
The new ruling does not come
as a surprise to many government
officials. For months contracts
have been finding their way to
only certain parts of the country
where the big plants are located.
Now the procedure goes into re-
verse, and the contracts are to be
more evenly distributed. This new
procedure will likewise have a
tendency to reduce migration of
workers from section of the coun-
try to another, which. in turn, in
wolves housing problems.

MARYLAND MERRy-GO-ROUND
- By DREW PEARSON ---

Washington, d. c., Dec. 4-Many
Marylanders who have flocked to
Washington to enjoy" war Jobs
and who commute every day, slow
ly are becoming disillusioned about
that pot OF gold at the other end
OF the Baltimore and Ohio or Penn
sylvania Railroad rainbows. Innu-
merable housewives and domestic
servants who thought they saw a
chance to make "some real money"
by being on the government pay
roll are finding out that it costs
them money to make money.
A Baltimore housewife, who was
thinking about going to work for
the government sat down with her
husband and figured out whether
an annual $144O government job
was worth the candle. Here's the
way it worked out: Federal
taxes, $374.4O; Maryland income
tax, $3.50; Victory tax, $72.OO; re.
tirement deduction on salary
$1,000; ten per cent of salary in
war bonds $1440O; transportation.
$4,000; lunches $1,000; wear and
tear on clothes or replenishing of
wardrobe $20S.OO
Added up, the expenses made a
grand total of $109120, leaving a
balance of $34S.S0 or an average of
$4,000 a month left. This probably
would have to go to a servant to
come in for couple of hours daily
to straighten UP the house if
a servant could be found.
Conversely, there are plenty of
Washington residents, on the gov
ernment payroll, who find it a f.
nancial hardship because they have
been transferred to Baltimore but
continue to live in Washington.
One of the things that irks this
class is the fact that they are re-
quired to pay Maryland State in
come tax because they earn their
living in the Free State. 1t now
looks, however, as though the state
legislature meeting in January
will afford relief Governor O'Con-
or is said to favor an amendment
to the State law which would ex-
empt federal employees who work
in the State but live either in Vir-
ginia or the District from paying
the State income tax.

SOLDIER VOTE


One Of the interesting and per-
picking factors incident to the No
vember elections both nationally
and in Maryland was the absentee
vote of men in the armed services.
Actually it was not large. And in
the case of Maryland it was so
small as to be insufficient as a de-
Gliding factor for either party. But
examined in the light of percent
ages, by which public opinion polls
are conducted. it is very significant
If Gallop took sampling of serv-
ice opinion, at least based on Mary
land, it is not surprising he did
not accurately tip off the Republi-
can gains.
The big upset in the state was
the defeat of E. Brooke Lee by
Glenn Beall, the Republican candi-
date for Congress. Yet when the
absentee service mems vote was
counted it was better than II per-
cent for Lee. On the other hand.
Governor O'Conor who showed sur
prising strength in Montgomery
County with the home voter show
ed equal strength in the absentee
vote, the preference for him over

who filed vigorous protest, trac-
tors were sent in, bulldoZer ma
chimes began levelling off the
ground and the dismantling of
buildings started.
AS a member Of Congress and of
the House Naval Affairs Commit
tee Sasscer has asked that in the
future the government adhere to
the following: (a) that all possible
notice be given to individuals who
must yield property for the public
welfare; (b) that a sufficient price
be paid to enable the dispossessed
to establish homes commensurate
with what they forfeited; (c) that
settlements be made as speedily as
possible; (d) that in case there is
a disagreement over price, a large
percentage of fair value of the
property be paid so that a property
owner, whose land is condemned.
will not be precluded from having
jury in the Federal courts fix
the value and (e) that full and ef-
fective cooperation in the way Of
priorities be afforded land owners
to rebuild afterwards.

Seems to me that a lot of folks
are making sacrifices only when
it's convenient and when it real

And that certain business man
who yelped like stuck chicken
because one of the items he has
been handling for years, was
taken off the market; the fact
that is was non-essential COM
modify never entered his mind.
Wonder if he would have squawk-
ed if he had had son over in
Africa fighting to keep him in

These are only a few of the
many instances where scores
of people talk about victory and
sacrifice and fail to make good
by their actions. To me, it's
just another way of selling Uncle
Sam down the river. 1t would
be in order if they would compare
their actions with those who are
sincerely trying to do job.

For instance:

That dame who several days
ago boasted to her next door
neighbor that rationine or no ra-
tioning, she'd have enough coffee
to last for long, long time.
Seems the old gal has been send
