Lather over
FOurth-TerIll
BY d. HAROLD OLIVER

WASHINGTON, March 5-(R
Fresh Republican charges that
the Office of War Information is
circulating fourth term propa-
ganda" among American troops
overseas in a pamphlet dealing
with the life of President Roos-
evelt brought a second denial
today from Owl Director Elmer
Davis.
Davis said there was nothing
political" in the pamphlet, The
Life of Franklin d. Roosevelt,
32nd President of the United
States" He added that more than
100000 copies had been printed
in IL languages for distribution
among foreign populations, not
American troops.
Rep. Taber (R-NY) told the
House yesterday that the publ
cation was printed at govern
ment expense, had been "distri-
buted overseas to soldiers and it
was from that source that It
came back to me-" He added:
How much longer are the
American people going to be
treated in this way, how much
longer are they going to have
that kind of stuff pulled on them.
1T is purely political propa-
ganda, designed entirely to pro-
mote a fourth term, and a dicta-
torship."
The pamphlet was described
by Taber, ranking Republican on
the House appropriations COM
as containing Is pages of
ALI sorts of caricatures and COM
on the life of the chief
executive from the time he was
born until now" and including
a picture of Franklin sitting at
his desk" and Ibis famous cou-
sin, President Theodore Roose-
welt" standing by.
Replying, Davis later told re-
porters:
Virtually the only distribu-
ton of the book in this country
in the English language will be
that which Mr.. Taber seems de-
termined to give it."

A Navy doctor declared today
that in tropical waters IAN ade-

He said survivors Of Capt.
Bligh's famous smallboat jour
ney suffered relatively few i'll
effects when their starvation ra-
tons were supplemented with
small quantities of fish and
birds.
Declaring treatment for de-
hydration and malnutrition is
the first and most urs ent need
of survivors, he recommended
stocking life boats with tablets
of brewers yeast to provide an
ample supply of vitamin B COM
pick.
The skin can be protected
against salt water blisters in the
tropics and also against the cold
by greasing,' Commander White
said. "A liberal supply of heavy
oil should be included in all
life boat stores
Circulation of legs and feet
should be stimulated by iemov-
ing tight shoes, flexing toes,
stretching legs out horizontally
and by swimming alongside the
life boat, sharks permitting"
he asserted.
Survivors should be carried
aboard rescue ships, because
walking may permanently injure
or lead to infection of damaged

Charles M. Elkinton. an OPA
price executive, predicted the
ceilings would result in sub
stantial reduction in prices for
live hogs, which yerterday rose
to Sic hundred pounds on the
Chicago livestock market for the
first time since October, 1920.
Elkinton exressed belief that
black market operations had
contributed to recent advances
because he said packers had
found it necessary to run up
prices in order to obtain sup
plies in competition with over
ceiling dealers.
II prices decline to $14 or

CLEVELAND, March 5 Up

CLEVELAND, March 5 Up
- The regior'l Office of Price
Administration said il would
seek injunctions today against
more than 100 slaughterers and
packers in an effort to elimi-
nate practises contributing to
Black Markets in meat in Ohio,
Michigan, Kentucky and West
Virginia.
James c. Gruener, regional
OPA attorney. said the actions,
seeking to enjoin defendants
from slaughtering any cattle,
calves, sheep, lambs or swine,
resulted from widespread in
LEGATIONS of meat buyers, mar
vestigations of meat buyers,
market and country auctions,
packers and slaughters.
He said some defendants
would be charged with failing,
neglecting and refusing to keep
records, thus making it impos-
sible to determine whether quo-
tas had been exceeded. He added
that the investigations indicated
many had exceeded the quotas.
He said the actions would be
filed simultaneously at 10 a. m.
(EWT) in U. S. District Courts
in Cincinnati, Toledo, Columbus,
Detroit, Grand Rapids, Charles
ton. Wheeling and Louisville.
Gruener said the action would
name defendants operating in

prospect of getting as much food
acreage planted this spring as
last doesn't look very good
now"
The secretary said he was
hoping that a program of get
ting school children into the
fields was going to help some
but he was not too optlmls-
tic"
For example" he said, IF
we have cold. late spring, we
are not going to make it,
Wouldn't we be honest to
ourselves and everybody else If
we admit right now we cannot
increase last years acreage
Nye asked.
The prospects are that we
cannot; that is right p Wickard
answered.
And unless the skies and the
Lord are with us in bigger
way than last yea when He
gave us the most bountiful pro-
auction, we are going to have
a lesser yield than last year,"
Nye asked.
That is right" Wickard re-
piled.
ENOUGH, AT LEAST
Senator Tydings (D-Md) said
he thought the answer was that
Americans were going to have
to eat less "but there will be
enough to go around"
Il am not satisfied that there
will be enough TO go around, y
Nye intcrjected.
The North Dakota senator cit
ed reports received by the COM
mittec from county farm agents
in which 80 per cent of those re-
porting forecast a cut in food
production ranging from l to
more than 30 per cent. Wickard
said the agriculture department
was checking every farm in the
country on its labor shortage,
lack of machinery "or anything
else they need for farm produc-
ton" and expects to have the
facts soon.
In fixing 1913 production
goals. the department did not
envision any increase over the
acreage which yielded bumper
crops last year, but did expect
increases in meat. dairy an d
poultry products.

such attempts by keeping them

On November 27, Lieut.. General
Eisenhower arrived with the boys,
and Jerry and his friends were
soon released.
Lieutenant Goldsmith's first re-
quest upon being released was for
quick assignment to battle duty.
The other five fliers joined him in
this. The ranks of the Army Air
Force in North Africa have thus
been increased by six.
Of course, none of this would
have happened except for three
seemingly insignificant items-a

The tool box, placed in the plane
by a mechanic, is believed to have

The flat tire noticed by the boys

from taking off again. The ex-

Lieutenant Jerry Goldsmith OF
Atlanta, Ca, celebrated a personal
independence Day when American
troops landed in North Africa
Since last May he's been a pris-
oner of the French West African
authorities, leading an existence
that was anything but comfort
able.
He has travelled 5000 miles
through West Africa by foot,
train, truck and boat. He has
baked in a 100 degree heat and
scorched under the dragon-breath
of desert winds. Once he nearly
froze to death in the mountains
near Tongue.
He has gone through the torture
of malaria, waged war against
tse-tse flies, and slept in beds in
tested with all the vermin on the
dark continent.
Since last May he has been on a
diet of rice and sardines.
It all started on May 6, 1912,
when, after a safe flight across
the Atlantic, twin-engined
bomber made a perfect three
point landing at what the crew of
six believed their destination. 1t
turned out, however, that they had
landed at a French airdrome in
French Guinea, where the author
tiles were not quite ready for an
American invasion.
During their internment, the
bows tried several times to effect
an escape. At one time they
hoped to get through to Portu-
gese Guinea. On another accas-
ion they plotted a wild trip in
volving such Hollywood elements
as bringing native guides and
