Referring to accounts of previous legislative ses-
sons in during the opening week of the pres
ent session. we found something missing from the
present Practically always it seems some legislator
has taken the floor to deliver stirring plea to ZAP
propriate early"
That didn't happen this time. In previous ses-
sons, regardless of pleas, the appropriations bill
man Leo Rogge of the Ways and Means Committee
of the House tossed the bill into the hopper as
House Bill No. 46.
Two years ago the appropriations bill was num-
Der IS on the list. This year it came about just
about 10 days ahead of what to have been the
date In the past. And when stops to think that
10 days in 60-day session is no short time, one
realizes that the House Ways and Means Committee
hasn't been loafing.
AS matter of fact, Chairman Royce has gained
the title Of Simon Legree' Royce. Chairman Royce,
until the bill was produced always the first on
the floor to announce a meeting of the Ways and
Means Committee.
The Chairman and the Committee to be
complimented getting down to work The time
flies fast and when appropriations bill comes in
toward the end OF the session, legislators must rush
this important measure through without being able
to give the bill the time it deserves the floor
Members of the Committee include in addition
to Royce Representatives r. E. Hardcastle Frank H.
Scott William A. Egan, and Harvey j. Smith

British Steps in India
Defended by WaveII

BY the Associated Press
WINCHESTER, England, Sept. %
-Field Marshal Viscount Wavell.
Viceroy Designate of India, told a
Winchester audience today that
Britain has little to be ashamed of
and much of which to be proud in
her dealings with India.
Speaking during ceremony at
which he received the freedom of
the city. Marshall Wavell asserted:
1--WE have made mistakes in India.
mistakes of manners and mistakes
of judgment once or twice, but very
rarely blunders due to greed or
fear"
THE good we have DONE" he
added, ''in giving India peace as
never before, in uniting India as
never before, in encouraging a ma
tional spirit, in leading India a long
way down the road toward her great
destiny, has been one of the finest
pieces of government and admins
tration ever accomplished in this
world of difficulties and dan
gers.
For the moment the outlook in
India seems dark and the right road
hard to find: if we can lead India
little further, through a few more
troubles, we shall have set the seal
on great task and can let her di-
rect her own footsteps to the great
and prosperous future for which we
hope and, we hope also, in cooper
alton and partnership with the
other nations Of our common
wealth.

Johnson 10 Give UD
Smaller War Plants
Post October |

Robert w. johnson, chairman of
the Smaller War Plants Corp, de-
clared today that more orderly
administration" of the home front
would contribute to shorter war"
He made the statement as he for
mally announced he would resign
his Government post effective Oc-
tober / because of i'll health.
Mr.. johnson stressed the extreme
Importance of maintaining an ade-
quate flow of essential goods, declar-
ing I'VE must give more considera-
ton to that
To illustrate his point he cited
the case of woman war worker
who is forced to be absent from her
job by the necessity of taking days
off to do the family laundry when
the washing machine breaks down.
I'm that instance, the washing
machine becomes as important as
a bomber" he said.
Named Chairman in January.
Mr.. johnson made available to
reporters copies of letter in which
he had informed Chairman Donald
M. Nelson, War Production Board,
that poor health compelled him to
resign his administration post. He
was named chairman of the cor
poration last January and later was
made a vice chairman of WPB. Last
month he resigned commission
as brigadier general in the Army
so that he could have freer hand
in dealing with problems of small
business.
In a press conference today, Mr..
johnson told reporters the job of
aiding small business sis in hand at
this time" He said there are only
1000 to 5000 distressed plants
out of total of about 10000 manu-
featuring firms in the country. This
plant distress, he added, now is cen
tered in New England, whereas six
months ago it centered largely in
New York City. He said there
was some business distress in the
Southeast and Southwest sections
and "a fair amount in Chicago"
In Danger of Closing.
"They are in danger of going out
of business" he said, but through a
good civilian program they can be
put to work. That is their best
hope. With the aid of the Office of
Civilian Requirements, that end OF
Evening star., 1943-09-23

our business can make a very great
contribution to the war effort. A
great many of the plants with avail
able facilities are best suited to
manufacturing essential civilian
goods"
Mr.. johnson estimated that 'in ex-
cess of $35, 900 600, 900 worth of busi-
ness has been placed in the hands
of small business. Credit for this
achievement, he said, does not rest
with SWPC alone but was due
largely to the initiative of small
business itself.
Small business generally Mr..
johnson said, lis in a stronger posi-
ton now than it has been for a
quarter of a century"
During the early days of the war
the small business program was "a
political football, but we picked it
up and made it into a job" Mr..
johnson declared,

the prospect Of high wages do not
blame these men for taking Jobs
where shorter hours and less
fatiguing work means more money
in their pockets. They do believe,
however, that unskilled labor on war
projects is being paid too much and
that if this pay were brought down,
the farmer would be better able to
compete in the labor market.
Can't Compete With 81 an Hour.
One farmer said he had lost two
men to war projects. He said they
were paid 81 an hour, and as much
as he needed men, he could not
compete with wages like that"
Meanwhile, w. r. Woodson. super
intendent of Fairfax County schools,
said plans were being discussed to
allow high school students there and
in other rural areas of the State to
aid in spring planting. He said stu
dents were employed last fall to pick
apples and harvest other crops and
could be employed again this spring
Mr.. Woodson said the plan used
last fall allowed students who had
permission from their parents to
check out of school for work on
farms. He said they were trans
ported in school buses and by farm
ers who came to schools for helpers.
While no definite arrangements
have been made this year, Mr.. Wood
son said that if farmers need stu
dents to help in the spring planting,
last years plan again will be placed
in operation.

Court Of Appeals
In Maryland Differs
From Most Others
Associated Press Cites
Size and Composition
In Many States
BY the Associated Press.


BALTIMORE, March 13.-In size,
composition, method of election and
distribution of duties, the Maryland
Court of Appeals differs greatly from
the final courts of review in most of
the other States, an Associated Press
survey disclosed today.
Passage by the Legislature of the
bill empodying the Bond Commits
slons S proposal to reorganize the
Maryland appellate court would
bring the States high court system
INTO closer alignment with the AZ
other States in the Union.
Main features Of the Court of
Appeals bill are the proposals to
reduce the number of Judges from
eight to five and to relieve them
from trial court work. The bill pe-
cause 1t provides for a change in

Maryland also is one of the few
states in which the high court
Judges are elected from various sec
tlonS OF the State. In 80 States the
Judges are elected at large. The
Maryland court bill proposes that
TWO OF the reorganized courts five
JudgeS are to be elected from Balti-
more City and the other three from
the counties.

State or county production figures,
but will show up later in the extra
demands on the country's food sup
plies, according to observers who
point out that very little, if any, of
their crops were ever marketed.
This trend away from the patch
farms" also is being felt in the
shortage of skilled farm labor. Most
OF these men are mechanics of some
type and all usually are skilled farm
hands who can be drawn on by the
larger farmer at times when he
needs more men than his farm regu-
larly employees.
Aided Other Farmers.
In the past, these patch farmers"
have devoted only small part Of
time to their own crops, depending
on other jobs for their income. Thus
they have represented a store of
skilled farm labor that could be
called on at threshing time or when
hay was to be harvested or corn
shucked.
Lawrence S. Greene. Fairfax
County agent. explained that the
man with only a few acres to tend
actually would spend less than q
working days from the preparation
of his land to the harvesting Of the
crops. This period extends from
early spring until late June and
allows long intervals when he can
be. used to meet labor demands on
larger farms
Farmers who have lost their en-
ployes and have stood by to see the
supply of transient labor drained by
