"HANGOVER"

Wilson is a handover from the
Golden Era of Boxing. He was a
friend and trainer of Georges
Carpenter and actually was Jack
Dempsey's more or less silent
manager. He has crossed the At
lantic 80 times and estimates he's
traversed the English Channel at
least $50 times. That, without an
argument, makes Gus well travel
ed man.
Gus has never been in any other
profession except boxing He start
ed in Europe when he was 12 Like
a great many other managers and
trainers he decided it would be
more profitable and certainly more
healthy to climb into the ring only
between rounds.
Soon Gus was playing middle
man for European and American
promoters, explaining his 33 trips
across the pond. Finally Gus set
tied in New York and was the
trainer for Carpenter when the
Frenchman fought Dempsey.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-(UP)-The
New York Giants are virtually cer-
tain to finish in the National lea

time since 1915 and although dozens
of reasons have been advanced for
their collapse, the answer is simple
their pitchers are using a differ

in the Polo grounds.
SHOE ON OTHER FOOT
For one day, however, the shoe
was on the other foot as the Giants
shaded the Cardinals yesterday, 3-2
by virtue of two home runs by
Mickey Witek. In five trips to the
plate, Witek collected four hits, the
second of his homerS coming in the
10th to provide the margin of vic
tory.
Ace Adams. making his 50th re-
lief appearance of the year was
credited with his eighth victory.
Howie Krist was charged with the
loss.
Brooklyn broke a 10-game losing
string with So triumph over the
Reds. Whit Wyatt recorded his
fourth success of the year over the
Reds and his fifth of the season
with a seven hitter. The Dodgers
scored five runs against Ray Starr
in the seventh.
Chicago divided with Boston. Hi
Bithorn rang up his 14th triumph
as the Cubs took the opener, 80

pitchers for 13 hits to take the
nightcap, 6-2, as Red Barrett spaced
eight Chicago hits.

Some Kind Of Plot
Seen in Tulsa Staying
Simmons Summoned as
Prosecution Witness
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSs.
TULSA, Okla, March 3O.-County
Attorney Dixie Gilmer, asserting
"there is some kind of plot" sum-
moned T. Karl Simmons, wealthy
Tulsa oil man, as State witness in
the preliminary hearing tomorrow
of Mrs. Ella B. Howard, attractive
divorce charged with the murder
of his wife in a fashionable Tulsa
hotel.
Mrs. Howard, A. mother of two
children, pleaded innocent at her
arraignment.
Mr.. Gilmer, in seeking a delay of
the preliminary hearing until Fri
day, told Commons Pleas Judge
Grady Cornett that Mr.. Simmons
in a signed statement had said he
had known Mrs Howard for eight
years and had given her $4,000 in
1912.
1T smelled to high heaven" Mr.
Gilmer told the court. There is
some kind of a plot and I am not
sure but that somebody may have
extorted some money from some
body
Charles A. Coakley, attorney for
Mrs. Howard, opposed a delay in the
hearing. Judge Cornett withheld his
decision until today.
Mr.. Gilmer said that after the Civ
ing of $4,000 to Mrs. Howard, who
lives in an exclusive section of Fort
Worth, Mr.. Simmons borrowed back
$1,000 of it for so days, was unable
to pay it and remade a note for
$4,000, which was settled last week
for $6,750.
Mr.. Coakley said Mrs Howard was
unaware that settlement had been
made on the $4,000 note, and came
to Tulsa last week to collect.

Conflict Is Blamed
On Man S Lack Of
Dynamic Christianity
Dr.. Shoemaker Hits
CompIocency in
lenten Sermon Here

The Rev Samuel M. Shoemaker,
rector of the Calvary Church, New
York City, will speak on the "Crea-
.tion of Christian Community" at
the noon lenten service today at the
Church of the Epiphany, 1917 G
street NV.
Beginning the third week of the
Lenten services, DR.. Shoemaker yes
terday told the congregation that
the world OF strife today was mir
rored by what we had in our hearts,
deep down in our hearts where no
one could see"
He further declared that the cause
Of the present conflict was due to q
large extent in "the lack of a dy-
manic Christianity in our lives" and
that good people must be stormed
out of their complacency and self
sufficiency."s
Each one of us should have a
"share in the rebuilding of the world
that began to disintegrate in 1885,"
he said, but IF we stay as we are
the world will remain as it is. If
we change, the world might change"
We ask the man on the street, he
declared, what Christian is and he
answers that he is good and
decent man" or that he is believer
in democracy But, he added, that
is talking about the fruits" of
Christianity and not about its
'roots"
"A Christian can be truly identi-
ned only by his relationship to
Christ himself" DR.. Shoemaker as
serted.
Gods plans are for universal
community, a kingdom of God, not
Of, but in, this world" and we must
not cease in spreading the Christian
doctrine until "it has touched every
race and every nation on the earth,"
he declared.
Referring to the fruits" of Chris
tianity, DR.. Shoemaker said that in
respect to the goodness and decency
of men, I'VE fare pretty we'll in COM
parison to our contemporaries, but
how do we fare under the CROSSE"

war. After the war our objective
will be not only to restore, but to
raise our standards Of living.
Goal Has Been Attained.
In the past no one has fought
harder than I to help the farmers
get parity prices for their crops.
With pride / recall that the parity
idea was first put into law during my
administration. And by the act of
October 2, 1912, the farmers were
guaranteed 80 per cent Of parity
prices for all basic crops, not only
during the war, but for at least two
years from the first day Of January
following the declaration of the
termination of the war.
But it must be recognized that
parity prices are only means to get
parity income for the farmers. That
income goal has been attained for
the cooperating producers of all
basic crops. This bill would go be-
yond the goal of parity income and
give to these producers an unwar-
ranted bonus at the expense of the
consumer.
A few crops have not reached
parity price in the open market, but
farm prices generally are above
parity. Between August. 1899, and
January, 1943, the prices that farm
ers received for the crops they sold
rose nearly LOT per cent, while the
prices that farmers paid for the
things they bought increased only
26 per cent.
Farm prices which were 80 per
cent below parity at the beginning
of the war in August, 1899, rose to
Is per cent above parity in January,
1943. Farm prices, which at the be-
ginning OF World War I were only
i per cent below parity, scared Ill
per cent between 1914 and 1919, but
the prices the farmers paid also
scared 96 per cent, so that the farm
ers never got more than 107 per
cent of parity for their crops during
the last war contrasted with the 115
per cent of parity they are now re-
ceiving.
Farmer Is Better OF.
Thus the farmer, far from being
worse off than he was in the last
war, is substantially better of. But
he will not remain better off If we
set loose an inflationary tornado.
The American farmer, I am con-
vinced, does not want imitation: He
knows that deflation inevitably fol-
lows imitation. The farmer wants
neither; he prefers sterilization. He
recalls all too bitterly the deflation
in the value of his land, the debts,
the anxieties, the foreclosures, the
evictions and the heartaches which
followed in the wake of the imitation
after the last World War.
Parity price is only part Of the
picture. Other factors have contrib

teachers and unorganized workers
in low-peid occupations.
It viii become impossible to hold
this line II the cost of living is still
further increased-not from imper-
ative war needs, but by the action
Of the Congress In departing from
its declared policy to stabilize all
prices and wages.
The Bankhead bill departs from
the declared policy of the. act Of
October 2, 1912. It departs from the
only practical basis on which any
sound stabilization program can
proceed. That basis is faithful
adherence to the present balanced
relationships between wages and
prices. To change the present
delicately balanced price relation
ships would not merely change, but
would jeopardize the entire stabiliza-
ton program.
Estimates Differ Widely.
It Is difncult to forecast the actual
price increase which would result
under the Bankhead bill, and the
estimates I have received differ
widely. They ali agree, however,
that they will be substantial, al
though there is some difference of
opinion as to the time when they
will occur. It cannot be denied,
however, that the Bankhead bill
takes from the Government the
power to prevent very substantial
increases in food prices. That is its
only purpose.
Under the Bankhead bill the price
of sugar could rise a cent and half
a pound, the price Of bread might
go up cent a loaf and the price
of flour proportionately. The price
of corn could rise almost 10 per cent,
which might not necessitate, but
would certainly call forth a de-
mand for higher prices for hogs,
and livestock, poultry, eggs, milk
and other dairy products. That de-
mand would be particularly insistent
in the case of poultry, eggs, milk
and other dairy products where Gus
tomary feed cost ratios would be
substantially reduced.
The Bankhead bill would certainly
Evening star., 1943-04-02

deprive the Government Of the pow
er to prevent these price increases
increases which might swell the cost
OF living more than s per cent, add
more than a billion dollars to the
consumers food budget, and several
hundred million dollars to the cost
Of feeding the armed forces and Of
supplying our Allies.
II by this bill you force an in
crease in the cost Of the basic food
stuffs, and as result the National
War Labor Board increases wages,
no one can tell where increases will
start or what those increased wages
will ultimately cost the farmers and
all people of the Nation. II the
price Of food goes up, if wages rise,
1t will necessarily result in increas-
ing the cost of our ornaments, ships
and planes. We should have to
borrow even greater sums to meet
the increased cost of the war and
after the war an excessive burden
OF debt would have to be borne by
all the people, including those now
| in uniform.
We are only beginning to feel the
cruel effects Of total war. Men
happy with their families must give
up good and well paid jobs to be-
come soldiers for $500 a year with
only modest allowances for their de-
pendent wives and their children.
We who remain in civilian life to
produce the food and supplies for
them. and an irreducible minimum
for ourselves. must not quarrel
among ourselves in a vain effort to
better or even hold our position at
the expense of the other fellow. We
must adhere loyalty to our stabiliza-
ton program and sanction no ex-
ceptions save in the case OF genuine
hardship and distress.
I appeal to the considered judg-
ment of the Congress to reject the
Bankhead bill which I am return
ing unsigned. It will not help the
farmer with his immediate war diff
ficulties. It will make it infinitely
harder for the farmer to protect
himself from wartime imitation and
postwar chaos. It will add to the

uted to bring about 4 striking In
crease In farm income. Between 1889
and 1912 farm production increased
20 per cent, and during this period
unit costs rose only one fourth as
much as unit prices. AS a result
farm income in terms of purchasing
power is higher than in 1919, higher
than 1929, higher than it has ever
been in our history. Sterilization
win protect that purchasing power.
Imitation will destroy it.
Farm income has risen faster
than non-farm income, though both
have risen substantially. Since 1899
the average income of the farmer
has risen approximately IS per cent
more than the average income OF
the ron-farm population. This is
particularly significant in view OF
the very substantial increases which
have occurred in the income and
purchasing power of the non-farm
groups during the same period. The
dollar income, the purchasing power
and the parity income of the farmer
are all far higher than they were
at their peak during the last war
Let us protect the farmers present
favorable position, rather than to
commence tampering with it.
realize. of course, that during
much of the last two decades farm
prices and farm incomes were in
eQuitably low. No one should be-
grudge the farmer the progress
which the figures I have cited re-
veal. Nor do these figures prove
that every farm and every acre is
free of price problems. But, as in
the case OF substandard industrial
wages or industrial production in
volving abnormally high costs, we
must deal with these situations
specially on their merits and not
imperil our stabilization program by
general price or wage increases. The
figures I have cited do reflect a
favorable situation extending to
every farm region and virtually
every crop.

labor, farm equipment and fertil-
izer. Higher prices cannot, when
steel Is scarce, create new machin-
cry; higher prices cannot when
manpower is short, create additional
workers. In fact, higher prices for
crops like wheat and corn might
actually divert labor and machinery
away from the production Of other
essential crops, such as soybeans
flax, grain sorghum, beans and po-
tatoes.
Furthermore, the present prices
for wheat and corn are satisfactory
from production standpoint. Our
farmers have already indicated
their patriotic intention to plant q
substantially increased acreage to
these crops. The Government is
determined to do everything within
its power to see that the farmers
have the labor and machinery nee
essary to harvest those crops.
Must Bear Fair Share.
The present relative favorable posi-.
ton Of the farmers can be held
only If our general sterilization pro.
gram succeeds. The general stabin-
zation program can succeed only II
all groups except those on the very
margin Of subsistence are willing tc
recognize that for the duration they
not only cannot expect to improve
their living standards, but must
indeed, be willing to bear their fair
share of the cost of sterilization.
There has been an increase in the
cost Of living since May, 1912. This
increase is due mainly to our failure
to bring food costs under control
But the War Labor Board is reso-
lutely adhering to the Little Steel
formula which compensates labor, in
its wage rates, for the increase in
the cost of living which occurred be-
tween January l, 194l, and May l.
1912.
The board believes that If the
formula is broken now it will start
an inevitable inflationary spiral that
would ultimately cancel out what
ever gains labor has made, and place
an intolerable burden on widows and
