TRIBUTE PAID
REDS, STAIN
Lasting Admiration Of U.
S. People Sent in ROOse-
veIt's Message

Washington, FEB. 2S.-(UP)-The
Red army and the Russian people
have started Adolf Hitler's forces on
the road to ultimate defeat and
have earned the lasting admiration
Of the people Of the United States,
President Roosevelt told Soviet
Premier Joseph Stain on the 25th
anniversary Of the Red army.
The message from Mr.. Roosevelt
to Stain was the third during the
past month.
Mr.. Roosevelt paid tribute to the
Russians, especially to their "de-
termination to defeat the enemy,
no matter what the cost In self
sacrifice" He said the magnificent
achievements Of the Red army
were unsurpassed In all history"
and praised specifically its great
defensive stand climaxed by "the
immortal battle Of Stalingrad" and
for the current great offensive
which Is costing the enemy heavily
In men, supplies, territory and es-
pecially In morale
Secretary Of State Cordell Hull
joined In congratulating the Red
army in q formal statement which
stressed the "self-sacrificing devo-
ton Of the men and women Of Rus
sia."
Secretary Of War Henry L. Slim
son told Stain that the winter cam
paign OF the Red Army "has
aroused the admiration Of the
world. It's story will he told as long
as courage and heroism are hon.
ored among men,"

Enemy Territory Hurt By
Recent Criticisms

An American Army Bomber Base
In England, Feb. % - (U.P0 The
men who have been flying the Fort
resses over enemy territory for three
months still believed today that
daylight bombing Is a most essential
part Of air warfare and that they
have theb est instruments so far de-
vised for the Job.
They feel that they have gone
through several months Of hell to
pioneer daylight precision bombing,
and recent criticism from unquali-
fed sources.
They pointed out that pin-point
bombing, as opposed to British
area bombing, Is possible only dur
ing daylight, but can give healthy
return on the investment In planes.
So far, they admitted daylight
bombing hasn5t paid Off as well as
1t should, but again three factors,
they believe they can rule the
skies over Europe and reduce Adolf
Hitler's war industries to rubble.
The three factors are: ID more

licly dedicated to God ana the Sal
walton Army in q service held at
headquarters Of the Salvation Army
on Cherry street last evening. Ma

Inc neeQ IS larry new, put the
man has been around for q long
time getting ready to fill 1t. Twenty
years Of study and experimenting
qualified Boswell TO direct the "Vic-
tory Garden" campaign.
Wrote Popular Guide
He Is the, author of the Depart
ment's most popular new publica-
ton - Victory Garden Guide"
That little 16-page booklet-Mis-
cellaneous publication No. 483-is
crammed full of "how-to- do-it" in
formation.
Preceding the Guide are more
than so other booklets on garden
ing written by Boswell. They were
written from experience, actual
work with vegetables, and not, from
text books, Growers have asked for
more than 100000 copies.
Boswell lives In glass house,
greenhouse at Beltsville, Nd, agri-
cultural experiment statlon-in the
winter and In the fields in the
spring and summer. He feeds and
cares for plants as tenderly as q
mother does her baby.
Developed New Tomato
Some of the results include cab
bages that have more vitamins. He
says that sometime when he has
noting else to do-which he does
not expect ever to have-he will
work on cabbage that Is odorless
while cooking.
In collaboration with other plant
scientists at Beltsville and at the
regional vegetable breeding labora-
tory at Charleston, s. G., Boswell
developed q new type OF tomato
that resists the wilt disease and
one that will withstand the hottest
southern summers.
There Is a bit of interesting his
tory back of the wilt-resisting to-
mato. Tomato wilt long has plagued
American truck gardeners. Boswell
on trip to South America, found
a native tomato plant that was i'm
mune to wilt.
But the fruit was small and I'M
suited to commercial cultivation. A
little trick of the horticultural trade
solved the problem. He married
the South American tomato to the
plump and juicy North American
variety. The grated product Is the
new Pan American tomato.
Spreads Pea Crop
Another discovery" of Boswsll's
is a pea that frost won't kill. The
result is that a large part of the
country where the season now is toe
short for peas to mature before cold
weather will be opened to a new
crpo.
Boswell watched southern gar
dens "burn up during the hot days
of June and July and set out to dc
something about. He is working
toward the development of special
types of vegetables that will with
stand heat and drought and still
produce through the summer.
When Boswell joined the agricul-
ture staff in 1928 he already had an
established reputation as an out
standing expert on gardening. Born
in Joplin, Mo, in 1900 he graduated
from the University of Missouri in
1922.
He was a faculty member of the
University of Maryland, few miles
outside of Washington, from 1922
to 1928. Agriculture Department
horticulturists began to learn
things from him. They still are.

EGG REDUCTION
PRICE LOWERED Rel
Permanent Wholesale Cell
ing Scale of OPA to
Aid Consumers

washington, Feb. 2S-(Up)-The
Once Of Price Administration TO-
day announced permanent whole
sale egg ceiling prices which are
expected to result in some iYnmedi-
ate reduction Of prices TO con-
sun1ers, but average year-around
prices Of one TO two cents o dozen
higher than ct present.
The OPAs action on egg prices
came shortly after establishment Of
emergency price ceilings on FIVE
fresh vegetables. The vegetable
ceilings, however, will not keep re-
tail merchants from taking advan-
tage Of last weeks sharp price rises
in anticipation Of drastic ration
ing Of canned goods.
The permanent egg price ceilings
replace temporary ceilings which
have been In effect since Oct. 8.
The average wholesale ceiling
across the country for March, April
and May will be approximately 40
cents a dozen.
The OPA said II soon will issue
regulations fixing the lnarkup be-
tween wholesale and retail prices
Of eggs. This will control consumer
prices.
Officials said the wholesale prices
Of eggs for the winter, spring and
summer months will be higher than
last year, but that fall prices will
be about the same as in 1912. The
wholesale prices will vary from an
average Of about 40 cents q dozen
during the spring months to about
40 or 40 cents during the high
priced period Of November, It was
said.

DISCREPAN in
PENDING MEASURE

An apparent discrepancy In two
of the bills affecting the city Of
Waterbury, which were introduced
in the current legislature by Sena-
tor John F. Tobin, was called to
the attention of The Democrat to-
day.
1t occurs in bills affecting the Fire
Department.
One of the measures, introduced
by Senator Tobin, calls for a second
deputy fire chief. Whether or not
this legislative step was anticipated
by the local fire board is unknown,
but only recently the board adj
vanced Capt. Stephen A. Bloomfield
to this rank, so far as his pay is
concerned. Bloomfield has been an
acting deputy for several years past.
The other measure in question es-
tablishes rates Of pay for officers
and privates Of the Fire Depart
ment, taking as the basic pay the
present salary level with the cost
of-hving adjustment that was set
up last fall.
But in itemizing the several
grades of pay among officers and
privates the bill specifically states
deputy fire chief.
Political observers doubt that
Senator Tobin meant this wording
to prevent a second deputy chief be-
ing designated and point out that
the present charter doesn't call for
two deputy chiefs, but the fire board
has designated two officers to. re-
ceive the pay Of this rating.
Opinion is, though, that Senator
Tobin may. prior to hearings on the
bills. make them conform with re-
gard to two deputy fire chiefs.

At the 45th annuai convention Of
