Nelson Says U. S. Must Hit
HIGH Production Peak In '43

Philadelphia - War Production
Chief Donald M. Nelson said the
nation faced a tremendous pro-
duction task in 1913 but assured
Americans they could enter this
year with utmost confidence.
IF we hope to win a final vic
tory in 1914, for instance" he
said in an address before the Poor
Richard club, lit is obvious that
we must finish all our prepare
tions in 1943."
Nelson is this years recipient
of the clubs annual gold medal
award for achievement.
Innumerable restrictions and
limitations which are being laid
down are the unacceptable prod
ucts of war;" he said.
Warning that 1913 was not 60
ing to be an easy year, Nelson
said the nation faced a host of
serious problems - manpower
shortages, shortage in fuel, pow
er, and transportation, difficult

73 PERCENT OF WAR
WORKERS NEED CARS

Washington - A survey of
100000 workers at "a war plants
in 10 states showed that 70 per
cent depended on private auto
mobiles to get to work, the Pub
lie Roads Administration an
nounced this week. Fifteen per
cent used buses and street cars,
ten per cent walked and two per
cent used bicycles.
Nearly three-fourths of the
tires on automobiles owned by
the workers at the "a plants
were estimated by the workers to
be about half worn out in the fall
of 1912" the report said. cal
though many of them will be
suitable for recapping, Public
Roads Administration empha-
sizes that the tire situation at
these plants is very serious.

Silas Greek News

Some party or parties have
been cooperating with the admin
istration in the gas-rationing
problem of recent days. Recent
ly, the gas line of the Land
mark bus which runs to Crump-
Ter, was cut; Mr.. w. A. Camp
BELLS gasoline engine and the
private car of George Massey,
which was stored in the barn of
his brother, Lee Massey, were re-
lieved of what gas was in them.
The parties probably merely
BORROWED" the gas, but as yet
they have not returned it.
Zeb Dickson, of Hays, spent
Sunday with his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. c. M. Dickson.
w. A. Campbell is constructing
a new chicken house.
Rev. J. F. Startling and family
spent Sunday with c. M. Dick
son.
Wiley Faw recently covered a
newly constructed building which
he means to use as an "all-pur-
pose" house.
We are informed that the WPA
forces that have been working
on the main waters of Big HeltOn
Creek are now making their way
up Old Field Creek. The people
of this section are proud of this.
They hope that this force, or
some other will continue the
work to the ford of Helton, near
Helton post office, thus killing
"three" birds with one stone:
Help the school bus situation, the
milk truck, and lastly, but not
'1eastly", keep the road open for
the daily mail.

II. S. Chamber OF Commerce
Cites g Ways" For Victory

New York - Eric A. Johnston
president of the United States
Chamber of Commerce, has ad-
vanced a program entitled "eight
ways to speed victory" and call
ing first of all for income tax
collections on "pay-as-you-go'
basis.
Other points in the program
which Johnston outlined in an
address:
l. Enlist the services of pri-
vate citizens and businessmen to
assist more fully in the execution
of federal war measures through
their trade associations and COM
munity organizations"
2. stop expansion and crea-
ton of additional government
bureaus"
3. "Curtail government spend
ing for nonwar and nonessential
projects and purposes"
4. 'Preserve small business
enterprises Much more en-
phasis should be placed by gov
eminent on decentralization of
war contracts"
5. "Relieve the plight of the
farmer Our selective service
system should more adequately
recognize the man power prob
lem of the farmer I believe
farmers should be among the
first to have their needs met for
food-producing machinery and
equipment"
6. "Eliminate unnecessary gov
eminent questionnaires and sim
plify the essential forms"
7. assure the American peo-
pie of a return to the American
system after the war We are
willing to swallow the red tape
of RECOMMENDATION for the dura-
ton. But with victory we want
that for which we >fight-our
freedoms, with a minimum of
government interference and con-
trolls"

Farmers Are Now Signing
AAA Farm Plans For 1913

Farmers in every county of the
state now are signing 1913 farm
plans stating whether or not they
intend to cooperate in the 1943
AAA program, according to G. T.
Scott, chairman of the state AAA
committee.
Reports received at the State
AAA office show that through
January 9, a total of 1918
farmers had been interviewed,
and of this number 159,699 indi-
Gated they will participate in the
program, Scott said. There still
are 1922 farmers to be inter-
viewed.
when a farmer signs a 1913
farm plan, he merely states
whether he plans to participate
in the 1913 AAA program" Scott
said. "Signing is purely volun-
tary on the part of the farmer
and the plan is not a contract.
After a farmer signs a farm plan,
he is assisted in formulating a
farm program for 1943 designed
to earn maximum production
practice credits for carrying out
these practices most needed on
his farm. This sign-up should
not be confused with the signing
of 1943 Farm Plan Work Sheets
for Maximum War Production in
which the farmers war crop
goals are set out"
Farmers taking part in the
AAA program are allowed to OBJ
tain conservation materials, such
as legume and cover crop seed,
lime, and phosphate, for use on
their land in lieu of farm pay
mentS.
I nan effort to conserve trans
portation facilities, he said, most
Of the 1943 sign-up work is be-
ing carried on when farmers are
at meetings or are in the county
AAA offices for other reasons.

JUDGMENTS GIVEN
 BY JUDGE DEVLIN
Collapse of Wall Between Properties Starts Suit,
 COunter=ActiOn

Common Pleas Court Judge Ray mond J. Devlin today handed down a judgment of $968.37 for Harry Wolk of Waterbury in his civil ac- tion against Domenic Davino also of this city. The litigation, which involved counter claim, was based on collapse of walls between prop critics of the parties.
 Two walls were involved in the collapse, one on property of the plaintiff at 44-46 Vine street and the other on the defendants prem ises at 207-209 Orange street. The land on the premises sloped sharply and garages owned by the parties were at different levels. The plain tiff claimed collapse of piers and wall at the garage of the defendant caused the wall on his property to break down and resulted in damage to his garage The defendant claim ed the original collapse occurred on the other property and his wall broke from lack of support.
 In his memorandum of decision the jurist said testimony on con- struction indicated the defendants wall collapsed first. He states con sidering the slope of the land, the type of construction involved, the weight of the garage was called up- on to bear and the proximity of the plaintiffs garage, the defendant did not exercise the care of a reason ably prudent personal" It was al- legged the defendant did not ex- anime the premises and note the defective condition. Judgment for the plaintiff also was entered on the counter claim.

 In one raid alone last year. 1000 hombers battered the Krupp Works and other targets in Essen. The to- tai weight of bombs unloaded on the city is more than 20 times that dropped on Coventry and exceeded by 5000 tons the explosives dropped on greater London during the 1940- 1941 blitz.
 Hardly had the big bombers re- turned from Germany than squad rons of RAF fighters this morning, presumably for offensive sweeps.
 The mosquito attack on Jena was carried out from an altitude of only 200 feet despite intense anti-aircraft fire and the presence of barrage balloons over the target area, the air ministry said.
 The raid marked the deepest pen etration-5OO miles-of Germany yet attempted by the mosquito bombers, but their objectives were described as the most important factories of their kind in Germany
 Preliminary reports indicate both factories were hit" the ministry said.
 The Zeiss factory manufactures all types of precision instruments for the German army, navy and air force, while the Schott Works make raw and finished optical glass.

 A showdown conference between Brown and MaXon took place yes- terday and afterWard, at an im- promptu press conference, Brown said he would not comment on the personality clashes within his or ganization and would make no de- cision on general manager until mid-June.
 His refusal to elaborate inspired considerable speculation over the outcome of the clash. Galbraith would. not comment, but his friends felt that he had emerged victorious They noted that he had made ar engagements to proceed with the long-range pricing plan to which MaXon is opposed.
 MaXon was unavailable for com ment. But his supporters have not yet thrown in the towel. They sug- gested that Browns decision was a compromise in that the pricing plan which embraces community area price ceilings on foods, subsidies and other proposals, would be substan- italy completed by mid-June.
 This, it was said, would enable Galbraith, who long has wanted a rest from his arduous duties, to bow gracefully out of the picture.
 "Ill pick the one I think is best and let the other fellow go," Brown said.
 He was emphatic in his refutation of statements by some of his aides, and in Congress that the OPA is breaking down.

 He was confident the government would be able to hold the price line, as ordered by President Roosevelt, and hoped that it would not De nec- essary to extend the proposed sub sidy program to commodities other than coffee, meats and butter.
