FLORENCE. Wis, Feb. 80
(P)-Emil Schroeder, 46-year-
old Michigan trapper who shot
and killed Wisconsin conserva-
ton officer in Michigan's last
deer season, was convicted OF
second degree murder yesterday
A circuit court jury, given a
choice of several verdicts, re-
turned Its decision after three
hours. Schroeder faces sem
tence of IA to 25 years in prison
Schroeder, resident of Dickin-
son (Mich.) county, testified that
he shot Albert E. Ref, the con-
servation officer, in self-de-
tense. Ref was shot near the
Michigan border when he and
another officer were on patrol
Police said the shooting took
place when Ref and his COM
panion attempted to question
Schroeder about shots heard in
the woods.
The original charge against
Schroeder was first degree muir
der, but Judge Arold Murphy
instructed the jury it could
choose among first or second de-
gree murder, manslaughter, and
acquittal.

Fire DESTROYS
Utica Home
Potter Residence
Burned to Ground

UTICA-The home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Potter, 1924 Van
Dyke road, was burned to the
ground at about eleven o'clock
Sunday morning. Mr.. Potter has
been thawing frozen water pipes
and flames from an oil heater
are thought to have ignited the
building, a four room, one story
building. TIL, home was just out
side the city limits and no help
could be given by the Utica fire
department.
Neighbors who tried to aid in
fighting the flames were ham,
pered by a limited water supply
and the fact that the fire was
between partitions. Loss was
covered by insurance. Furniture
and clothing were saved by the
volunteers.
At present Mr.. and Mrs. Pot
ter are staying in the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Chris Jacobson

This is No. of series of
IL articles of expert advice for
Victory Gardeners this year.
1t is suggested that you clip
and save each inStallment for
future reference.
Prepared by the u. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture for NEA
Service
The size of your victory Gar
den and the variety of the vege-
tables to be grown are deter
mined in accordance with space
available, climate and soil, the
amount of time you can devote
to gardening, and the size of
the family of group to be sup
piled.
In general, Victory Gardeners
are asked to make their gardens
big enough to produce all or a
substantial part of their fam
ily's needs for fresh and pre-
served vegetables.
Such a garden will make its
weight felt in adding to our total
food supply and thus strike a
inflow toward winning the war.
Plan your garden to produce
maximum quantities of nutri-
tious, protective vegetables, par
ticularly leafy green and yellow
ones, and tomatoes.
All these kinds of garden pro-
duce can be grown so successful
ly and yield SO abundantly that
each gardener should aim at
enough to take care of home
needs in full.
PRODUCE PLENTY
FOR FAMILY
In the case of farm gardens,
where the vegetables are grown
in a separate garden plot or
field rows, enough should be
produced to supply the family
with all the vegetables it needs
this year, to be eaten fresh or to
be canned, brined, dried or
stored for fall and winter use.
Where possible farm gardens
also should include extra sup

rections." The units include the

DRASTIC ORDER
For the moment, however,

which would require every man.
ufacturer of the critical COM
ponents" of arms production TO
submit delivery schedules TO
WPB for approval and revision.
A WPB official revealed also
the directive would make WPB
approval mandatory before a
manufacturer could accept or
ders-a considerable threat to
the freedom of the services to
choose their own suppliers.
Wilson proposes to call in men
from each of the industries in
volved and work out with them
industry-wide production sched-
ules. They will aid WPB in the
registration of contracts, where
that appears necessary, and in
such transfers of tools as seem
essential.
Military officials contend the
program is complicated and UNI
workable. They predict it will
end in the wrecking of the con-
trolled materials plan, the sys-
tenn developed by Eberstadt for
allocating materials to military
and civilian users.

~ STERLING u. GREEN

WASHINGTON, Feb. l9-(P)
The team of Nelson and Will
con pushed forward today with
its own program for cracking
armament bottlenecks, in the
face Of assertedly bitter end
opposition from the production
policy-makers of the armed
services.
Over Army and Navy protests,
Chairman Donald NJ. Nelson of
the War Production Board and
his second in command, Charles
Z. Wilson, were expected in a
few days to issue orders pre-
venting q big segment of in
dustry from making deliveries
to the armed services or anyone
else without WPB approval.
The services can only yield,
because Nelson's power is final.
But there was increasing evil
dence that Nelson had fight on
his hands to keep his job, as he
has vowed to do until better
man comes along"
RESIGNATION SEEN
One informed military source
said he believed either Nelson
would have to resign or the UNI
dersecretaries of War and Navy,
Robert p. Patterson and James
v. Forrestal, would quit. He in
dicated that Patterson and
Forrestal thought so, too.
They are the production and
procurement chiefs of the serv-
ices, and they were overruled
earlier in the week in the mat
ter of Nelson's dismissal Of
Ferdinand Eberstadt as a vice
chairman of WPB.
But the military source, who
cannot be quoted, indicated the
showdown was not necessarily
imminent and as far as the serv-
ice people were concerned could
wait until the civilians "produc-
ton scheduling" program has
been tried out.
Even so, Nelson cleared the
decks for action last night by
delegating all his powers to Will
con.

plies for nearby markets. In adj
dition, every farm where eli
mate and water supplies permit
should have enough small fruits,
grapes, and fruit trees to provide
in the next few seasons a full
supply of fresh, dried and can
ned fruits for family use.
Plans should be as simple as
possible, with attention to pro-
ducing good supplies of the vege-
tables providing the most in
nutritive value rather than a
little of each of a large num-
Der of varieties. Long, straight
rows, spaced far enough apart
to allow adequate cultivation,
are most desirable. Where sum-
mer rainfall is short, farm gar
dens should be in spots where
water may be directed for irri-
CATION from a creek or spring
Similar principles apply to
town, city and suburban Victory
Gardens as far as space and cir
cumstances permit. A garden 80
by so or so by 100 feet should
be the goal. An average of an
hour day in such plot will
do wonders in the way of in
creasing the family's vegetable
supply. If the home back yard or
such a plot of sunny, open
ground with fertile soil, then the
Victory gardener who means
business should seek a COM
munity or allotment garden
space.
Community and allotment
type gardens often may be
established on vacant ground
around industrial plants, vacant
tracts awaiting development as
residence or industrial property,
and open areas on the outskirts
of residential districts. Such
spaces, where accessible by bus,
trolley, bicycle or even on foot,
offer good opportunities for
worthwhile gardening. AS soon
as possible the use of such land
should be obtained, after which
it should be cleared of obstruc-
tions, ployed and staked off for
assignment of plots.
HELP SCHOOL LUNCHES
School gardens should be
planned both for their educa-
tional value and to provide sup
plies of fresh and processed
VEGETABLES for school lunch pro-
grams. Hot-beds and cold frames
will be needed for class work.
Care and cultivation must be
we'll organized and supervised.
Summer care of such gardens
must be provided to keep gar
dens that have started we'll from
dying, and provision must be
made for groups of pupils, in
structors, or interested parents
to harvest and properly process
or store the Vegetable crop. The
opportunities for rural schools
and many town and suburban
schools to join in the Victory
Garden drive are especially out
standing.
The supply of vegetable seed
promises to be sufficient for
1943 Victory Garden needs, but
the situation is tight, particu-
larly for onions, beets and car
rots. However, il should be re-
membered that the supply is not
SO large as to permit waste of
seed by indifferent sowing, ne
elect of the garden, or attempt
to garden on poor soil. Garden
ers should be prepared to ac-
cept alternate varieties il first
choice seeds are not available.

dener needs.)

WILDCAT STRIKES
REFLECT LEADERSHIP

II is the wartime fashion of federal Of
ficals and high ranking national union
chieftans to call every war production
strike wildcat strike, and charge the
local members with "repudiating Their
own leaders.
So it was in the unauthorized strike
at the River Rouge plant of the Ford Mo,
tor Co. There $4,000 laborers turned
traitor to the men in the southwest Pacl-
fic in North Africa and elsewhere
throughout the globe, who need the tank
and airplane motors the company Is turn
ing out.
How MANY men will de needlessly IN
the theaters of war because OF the Detroit
strike there is no way OF knowing. FER
haps one or two, perhaps score, per-
hans thousands. Why? Because main
tenance workers in half dozen units AT
the factory believed management had no
right to reorganize the maintenance crews
and struck to enforce the belief. Others
struck to support them.
1t is no wonder the federal officials
and union big shots attempt to dodge
responsibility. 1t is no wonder they call
the strikes wildcats"
Yet the fact is that leadership cannot
escape responsibility. In the first place,
the strikers are merely following well
defined policy laid down for them over
a period of many years by their national
leaders-a policy which has had the
blessing of the federal administration,
and even its militant support. In the
second place, these wildcat strikes could
be stopped, if either union bosses or fed
eral officials would stop ignoring the
duty they owe to the fighting men, the
survival OF democracy and the people
as 2 whole
The union chieftans shrug and say,
We can't do anything about it; it's a
wildcat strike"
The federal officials shrug and say,
We can't do anything to prevent these
wildcat strikes; all we can do is to send
the army in after they've been called"
Then the army takes the place of man
zgement, the strikers go back to work,
and before management is again restored
to It's rightful place the strikers have been
given the things for which they struck.
Ut has happened already, you know. Most
of these so-called wildcat strikes have
been successful, in that achieved their
purpose.)
