"The trunk murders pro-.
vided for in the 1914 Agricul-
tural Appropriation bill as re-
ported out by the house appro-
priations committee have been
put off for another year and
there is good reason to believe
that working farmers and true
friends of agriculture in the
congress will now see to it that
Big Agriculture's plan to take
over all of American agricul-
ture is blocked by permanent
legislation within the next
year.
More than forty vital items of ap-
preparation and authorization have
been restored by the senate appropri-
ations committee, generally at the
figures given in the Presidents orig
inal budget request.
Outstanding in its significance for
working farm families is the contin-
uance of the Farm Security Admins
tration with renewal of its rehabilita-
tfon loan authorization at the current
figure of $97,500,000 and $50, 900, 900
for the tenant-purchase program un-
der the Bankhead-Jones act. But in
our opinion the committee has en-
dangered tn entire FSA program by
cutting $7,000,000 from the appropria-
tion for FSA administrative expenses.
Should this cut be made deeper in
negotiations with the house during
the effectiveness of FSA
will be further reduced. We urge the
senate to hold the line against the
final attempt to hamstring FSA that
is certain to be made by the house
including Chairman Cannon
Of the house appropriations commit
tee, and Congressman Dirksen and
all three sworn foes of
FSA.

LOWER MEAT PRICES

LOWER MEAT PRICES
Effective June 21 meat prices at
retail will be lowered from 8 cents
to cents a pound by order of the
OPA. New prices for cured and proc
essed pork will go into effect on July
S. Reductions in price are smaller
on cheaper cuts and larger on the
more expensive. AS in the case of
the rollback of prices on butter, the
lowering of meat prices will not di-
rectly affect the farm producer. Sub
sides, which begin June Z, will be
paid to anyone who slaughters 1000
pounds of meat or more per month.
MORE FARM MACHINERY
A total of 100000 tons of carbon
steel, with other materials in proper
ton, has been allocated to the farm
machinery program for the quarter
beginning July 1. An additional 200,-
900 tons of steel have also been ap-
proved for each of the three quarters
from October 1, 1943 to July 1, 1914.
During the third quarter of this year,
special emphasis will be given TO the
manufacture of harvesting machinery

GIFT THAT MOTHER Will CHERISH FOREVER

10 YOUR mother you will always be the
little boy or girl who learned lfes first lessons
at her knee, and went to church and Sunday
school. Hence, all mothers remember what
some sons and daughters sometimes forget
the shining influence of regular communion
with Divine love.
1t is altogether fitting and proper that gifts
should on Mothers Day, be visible and tangi-
Bile tokens of her children's love and adora-
ton. This custom, it is generally believed had
it's beginning in the gifts of gold and franklin
cense and nyrrh that the Magi brought to the
manger in Bethlehem. Only our reverence for
the sacredness of motherhood would invite or
justify the comparison.

But long after the flowers have wilted and
the candy has been forgotten, your mother
would remember your having gone to church
on Mothers Day-gone to church with her, if
that is possible, or as tribute to her if she is
far away
So while we lovingly dedicate this day to
mother would it not also serve as further
tribute to her if you were to resolve to attend
church regularly?
Today especially young minds and troubled
souls cropping their way through the darkness
and uncertainties of war will gain, in church, a
renewal of those spiritual values which alone
can bring the JOY and comfort and the everlast-
ing peace this world so sorely needs.

view. The chart came last. He put that in his
breast pocket then slid down into the inflated
rubber boat.
There were no farewells, no last minute
wishes of Godspeed. Even whispers had been
forbidden. Everyone understood his particu-
lar task too we'll to need orders. The men were
well trained, and functioned with clockwork
precision. The submarine would be back, just
outside the barrier reef, twenty-four hours
later If Jack was there, he'd be taken aboard.
If not, the submarine would wait ten minutes
to the second. 1t was too dangerous to wait
longer. If Jack should have been captured,
the Japs would be looking for submarine.
Jack adjusted the oars in the muffled oar
locks and rowed cautiously. The submarine
vanished Only a faint gurgling of water
marked the moment when darkness dissolved

that sweat gushed from the pores at the slight

skin out by the time the rubber boat was in
fated.
The Island was a low-lying silhouette.
Occasional stars showed through drifting,
dark Clouds The ocean was calm, even out
side the barrier reef. The men moved silently,
the bad-bad- pad of bare feet on the deck, and

Jack checked his equipment. A dozen times

the only tie Jack Redfer had with friends.
From now on he was on his own, pitted
against ruthless enemy.
The island was named Kavauru. There was
no reason Jack could think OF why that name
should mean anything to him. Yet it did. All
day it had kept reverberating through his
brain like the afternotes of big bell. kaoan1M
Could this be a subconscious warning? Was
it an omen?
Jack tried to dismiss the thought. His mis-
sion was too delicate, too dangerous to let
outside thoughts distract even the slightest
bit of his concentration. The Colonel had told
him:
"One man may be able to do it. But, after
it's done, he stands one chance in hundred
of getting away. Two men would stand one
chance in ten thousand, three men no chance
at all. 1t isn't an order. We're asking for
volunteer If you don't relish the idea, it
won't be held against you. Speak right up.
Don't be afraid to say what's on your mind.
But Jack hadn't spoken up One couldn't
tell colonel, I'D love to do it, only think
the Colonel should know that jinx is riding
me. I've been tossing coins and lost fifteen
times straight I've tried craps, and haven't
held the dice for over one throw except on
snake-eyes and boxcars. If can't cash-in on
the gravy bets, how am going to stand on
hundred to one shot?"
No, the Colonel wouldn't have understood.
Jack, himself, didn't understand. His mates
were joshing him about it. Jack kept grinning.
You chaps wait, ," he promised. When luck
turns, til turn fast. But luck hadn't turned.
The jinx was still riding him - hard.
JACK rowed the boat with steady, short
strokes, biting the oars deeply into the water
- so there would be no splash, no chance Of
catching a crab" if an unexpected wave up
set calculations.
Beyond aeroplane photographs of the
island, detailed chart, and little general
information, he was entirely on his own.
There was lagoon, a tropical river, dense
jungle brush, and huge oocoanut plantation.
The Colonels concern was with an American
scientist who had worked out new method
of compounding high explosive from copra-
There had been correspondence with the gov
ernment, some tentative arrangements for
test; then December Seventh had erased
everything. The government hadn't even
given the matter another thought until the
Japs had moved in on the Island. What had
happened to the personnel was not disclosed.
Jack was to see that the enemy didn't
profit from the formula and secret notes of the
scientist. 1t was definitely an attempt to lock
the stable door after the horse had been

stolen, but it was quite possible that the
enemy hadn't as yet consolidated his con-
quest. equally possible that he knew nothing
about the experimental data of the resident
expert. Jack was carrying incendiary bombs
and grenades enough to demolish dozen
wooden buildings But, as the Colonel had
pointed out, there was undoubtedly flre-
proof safe which had held the company rec
ords, and any formula would have been kept
in that safe. All in all, it was mission where
much depended on luck - and jinx was
riding Jack.
And then, as Jack rowed toward the
Island, the memory he had sought 80 pain
fully all day popped into his mind of its own
accord.
6lAvAURU! That was where Professor Dud-
ley Blake had gone. He remembered laughing
in the lab when Professor Blake's letter had
been received. Blake, the man who always
seemed to remember so much about the stu
dents.
But some exploring young student had dis
covered the key to his remarkable memory -

paper, bristling with names and data, pri-
vate Who's Who of each man with whom the
Professor had come in contact. At intervals,
he'd read these notes and refresh his men,

in the NAV of happenings. He had been

lar structure business >. then Pearl Harbor.
Was "Dud" Blake the resident scientist
who had worked out the new copra explosive?
The silhouettes of slanting cocoanut palms,
leaning out over the water, materialized from
the darkness Below them was white strip
of sand Jack lay fiat in the rubber boat, cas-
ing it in with his hands, the oars trailing. :.
Would there be challenge? Would the dark
fringe that lay below the cocoanut fronds
vomit into flashes of machinegu gun fire?
Silence. Little wavelets Kissed at the sand
The rubber boat made hardly more sound
than one of these wavelets as it beached it.
SELF Jack portrayed his precious cargo across
the beach, then lifted the boat to his shoul-
ders, and carried it to concealment in the
tangie of lush tropical growth.
1t was dark here; stumble meant noise,
and noise meant death. Jack cautiously felt
his way into darkness crawling with enemy
menace The going became easier. too easy.
The little path was becoming roadway. He
couldn't chance road from beach to houses

a provision was definitely dead for
this convention.
What the convention has au-
thorized instead, under a new res
olution is for the committee on the
presiding bishops see to invite any
diocese in the United States to
offer part of its diocese as a see
for the presiding bishop.
Perhaps the presiding bishop will
not have to be established in a see
with a geographical jurisdiction, ac-
cording to some church authorities
A letter from the Archbishop of
Canterbury on this point declared
that in the archbishop's personal
opinion, the presiding bishop of
the Protestant Episcopal Church in
the United States. even If he had no
local diocese, would not be deprived
of a seat In the famous Lambeth
Conference, worldwide group of
bishops from the Church OF England
and the Protestant Episcopal
Church. 1t meets in London about
every 10 years.
Among dioceses which already
have been suggested as the presid-
ing bishop see, are New London,
Conn, in commemoration of Bishop
Seabury, first Episcopal bishop, and
New York City.

ing that all diocesan bishops re-

Canon on Matrimony
Up for Consideration
AT Episcopal Session
BY HAROLD B. ROGERS,
Star Staff Correspondent

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct. THE
House of Deputies Of the Protestant
Episcopal Church today took up the
long pending problem of attempting
to liberalize the churchs canon on
Holy Matrimony."
A carefully prepared revision of
canon AZ had been prepared as the
majority report of the deputies
commission on matrimony. Two
other reports were ready for intro
duction from the committee on
canons, There is lively interest in
the subject of such vital interest
to Episcopalians, and the house had
allotted most of the day for debate
Present Church Law.
Under present church law only
the mate of a person involved in an
adultery case may be remarked
after divorce, with all other divorced
persons forbidden remarriage in the
church. There are annulment canon
provisions. Whatever action is taken
by the deputies will go to the house
of bishops.
Yesterdays session was featured
by church legislation changes which
assure continuance of Bishop Henry
st. George Tucker Of Virginia as
presiding bishop of the church for
at least another year.
Decision also was made to proceed
with negotiations on an approach
to unity" with the Presbyterian
Church, and maybe "other Christian
bodies" A broadgauge program
for social reconstruction" after the
war was approved. All diocesan
bishops would retire at 70 under
a proposed canon passed by the
bishops.
Concur on Retirement Age.
Both the deputies and bishops
concurred in extending the retire
ment age of the presiding bishop
from 6S to 10. making the new canon
take effect Immediately. Thus Bishop
office without election, some ex-
perts said. If any one should
insist on an election it is considered
a foregone conclusion he would be
reelected.
Taking steps to relieve Bishop
Tucker from the load of his dio-
cesan responsibilities, which he was
quoted as saying had become ''in-
tolerable." the convention has pro-
vided that he and all future pre-
siding bishops resign their posts
as diocesan bishops.
I'VE have killed too many pre-
siding bishops was the language
used in both the house OF bishops
and house of deputies regarding
the double load presiding bishops
had been required to carry. They
have been both a bishop of dio-
cese and the presiding bishop of
the national church.
Residence" Hopes Rise.
While Washington had received
definite setback in hopes of estab-
fishing the residence of the pre-
siding bishop in the Cathedral Close,
there were signs Of a growing op-
timiSm among the WaShingtonians
here, after the action yesterday con-
tinulng Bishop Tucker in office
This optimism grows out of a
series of developments. For in
stance, the house of bishops delib-
erately ignored a recommendation
from the Joint committee on a
presiding bishops see, which read
as follows:
The official seat of the presid-
fng bishop shall be in the Cathe-
dral Church of ST. Peter and St.
Paul. in the District of Columbia,
