FARMERS HIT PRICES

Farmers presen however.
dashed out at the price mainten-
ance proposal and many took the
floor TO complain of production
losses in face of increased cost of
help and rising feed prices.
Most Of them, however, voiced
the sentiment that retail milk
prices should not be raised. but
that excessive profits of cream
cries could be returned TO the
farmer in higher prices for sur
plus milk.
Others in the farm group con-
tended that the producer should
receive $40 per 100 pounds on
all milk produced and there
should be no distinction between
base and surplus.
JAW SUPPORTS FARMERS
Members of the JAW who APP
peared in the interest of the con-
sumers supported the farmers, but
opposed increase in prices to the
consumer.
Calling for a coalition between
farmer and consumer. Charles c.
Lockwood, representative OF a
consumer group, declared:
IF farmers are properly paid
for their milk, we can be as
sured milk in sufficient quaint
ties. They can't be paid so long
as the milk trust controls the
entire field. The milk trust
has the farmer. and consumer
under Its thumb"

Appeals Court Affirms
Compensation Award
In Stadium Inquiry

The United States Court of Ap-
peals yesterday affirmed a District
Court action in which the lower
court dismissed petition to review
a workmen's compensation award
made by Frank A. Cardillo, deputy
commissioner of the United States
Compensation Commission for the
District to a man who was said to
have been beaten and burned at
the Riverside Stadium.
The recipient of the award was
John Oster, an ice technician. who
1t was testified before the deputy
compensation commissioner was in
jured by unknown persons who at
tackled him at his place of employ
ment at the stadium in January,
1912.
The carrier insurance firm, the
Travellers Insurance Co., had at
tackled the award on grounds of GER
tain evidence. The appellate court,
however, in affirming the District
Court decision, held that ANY ex-
planation of the crime which would
relieve the insurance carrier of
liability is equally difficult to be-
lieve from the evidence The opin-
ion, written by Justice Thurman w.
Arnold, said:
Since the injuries occurred while
the employe, Oster, was on the
premises in connection with his en-
ployment it is presumed that they
arose out of his employment unless
the contrary is shown"
In dissenting opinion Chief JUS
tice D. Lawrence Groner of the
Court of Appeals declared:
Il dissent solely for the reason
that claimants story of circum-
stances of his injury, when consid-
cred in the light of the conceded
physical conditions surrounding him
at the time is so palpably untrue as
to be unbelievable Justice Groner
added: With proper difference to
the rule which takes from us the
right to weigh the evidence or pass
upon the credibility of witnesses, I
cannot concede that it obliges me
to accept the impossible"
Justice Henry w. Edgerton was
the third justice who sat on the
case.

Poison Gas for Germany?
(Philadelphia Record

tPhlladelpnla tCeCOTul
Gas warfare is up to the Axis.
That is President Roosevelt's ultimatum Having
found increasing evidence that Hitler is preparing to
use poison gas in his defense OF the Fortress OF Eu-
rope, Mr.. Roosevelt says blunty
use of such weapons has been outlawed by the
general opinion of civilized mankind This country
has not used them and hope never will be COM
PEELED to use them.
1--WE promise to any perpetrators of such crimes
full and swift retaliation in kind and feel obliged
now to warn the Axis armies and the Axis peoples in
Europe and in Asia that the terrible consequences OF
any use of these inhumane methods will be brought
down upon their heads
1t is up to them
Up to them whether they plunge Europe into
mass destruction which will make previous carnage
in this war seem civilized by comparison.
We know chap who has long believed that
mankind is headed for another Dark Age; that be-
fore many decades millions now civilized will be Nv
ing in caves, using buttons or maybe sharks teeth
for money.
Pessimstic?
He is But imagine if you can, the consequences
of mass gas warfare over Europe alone
If Hitler is deferred from use of gas it will pro-
badly be because he knows how vulnerable Germany
is to gas bombings, and that Germany will go down
first in the shambleS.
Imagine the of gas
Falling like poisonous clouds over vast cities
Hundreds of thousands racing for shelters which will
not protect, donning gas masks which will, for many
be but borrowed time Deaths and terrifying illness;
plaques and chaos Poisoned waters and whole re-
gions infected with the virus of disaster.
Crops rotting because no one dares harvest them;
towns empty because no one is left; thousands UNI
buried because one is there to bury them
Desolation such as we have not known in the
lifetime of any of us-a new black death, brought
upon civilization by its own perverted children
The practical possibility of Nazi use of gas is
pointed out by Fletcher Pratt He cites Field Mar
shall Won Leebs theory that gas is most valuable in
defense-that attacking army must risk plunging
through its own gas barrage, whereas defending
force can remain behind it.
With invasion of Europe imminent, Pratt sug-
gests the Nazis now may be preparing to use gas,
defensively and their last resort.
That is why President Roosevelt warns the Axis
and repeats his own and Prime Minister Churchilis
previous warnings that if the Fuehrer wants to fight
with gas
The responsibility for mass Allied reprisals will
be upon his own head. and the tragedy and terror
upon his people.

GOVERNMENT IN BUSINESS

BY the time peace returns the United States
government will have become the worlds greatest in
dustriast, owning factory facilities that will rep
resent minimum expenditure of 10 billion dollars
and a maximum well in excess of is billions.
Three billions of this will be in aircraft plants,
two billions in shipways three and half billions in
facilities for making steel rubber, aluminium mag
nesium and other key materials.
The National Industrial Conference Board reports
that the government will own 90 percent of new
shipbuiding capacity, SO percent of airpane II
percent of new iron and steel, Ga percent of new
machinery and electrical equipment. Sc percent Of
new machine tool and Al percent of petroleum
and coal products facilities.

over all of the government facilities are brand-nev
and are more efficient than most of the companys
own plants Given electricity at the same cost, the
government plants can make and fabrcate aluminium
cheaper than the company mills can.
This is possible because the company made avail
able everything it knew about the business.
However in l947 the company will lose all legal
claim upon the plants it has built. Their super
efficiency can be used either under government OPP

years production, but will fall far
short of meeting the goal of some
6,0O0, 100000 pounds set by the War
Food Administration. Lack of yes
sells and an inadequate supply Of

are chiefly responsible, but other
factors, such as restrictions on fish

With other sources of animal
proteins declining, Charles f. jack

declared that the demands from
consumers in the United States for
seafoods will probably show con-
tinuing upturn. This demand may
be accelerated due to newly estab-

which are in some cases substan-

fresh fish this summer and fall
will have to make up for the defi-

little more than half of the nor

being canned in about IS of the

U. S. fishing industry is entering
the critical period of the years
operations this. month, Coordinator
of Fisheries Harold L. Ickes de-

Although fishing continues
throughout the year, normally rs
percent of the years catch is
taken in the last six months. The
current quarter usually accounts for
about As percent of the years to-

80 percent.
Fisheries for pilchard, salmon
mackerel, and tuna on the Pacific
coast, menhaden and New England
trawl-caught fish on the Atlantic
coast, and shrimp in the Gulf OF

usually make up about IS or 70

Actually, the investigating COM

portant work in eliminating the
same kind of friction among agen-
cies at the war front that exists in

ports in foreign countries will be

portance of using British oil re-
serves in the Middle East instead of
draining U. S. supplies; and reports
that civilian supplies in North At
RIGA have been distributed through
French Fascist agencies.
So it is expected that Senators
Russell, Brewster and Mead of New
York will dig into these matters
thoroughly. This should leave
Chandler plenty of time to do the
handshaking.

Alaska last summer he got $4,000
expense money from the Senate

submitted a rough expense account
of $4,000, despite. the fact that
most of his air travel was paid for
