Washington. D. c., Feb. 19.-Two
prominent Marylanders delivered
significant speeches recently,
thereby causing international re-
verberations. The two men were
Senator Millard Tydings and I'm
der Secretary of State Sumner
Welles.
The Tydings talk, not in line
with the administration United
Nations harmony policy, came on
February 10. The Welles talk, de-
livered in New York. February -,
was a virtual warning that all
would be lost if the United Nations
got grabby and engaged in post
war rivalries for power.
Tydings had taken the Senate
Floor and propounded that we not
wait for the close Of the war to
demand that the United States
take permanent title to British is
lands on which this country holds
99-year leases under the lend-lease
program. Quick to support Tydings
was Senator Bob Reynolds, Chair
man of the Military Affairs Com
mittee. who went a step further de-
claring that this request for new
territories should not be limited to
the British but should include
France, Holland and Russia. Of
Russia he asks for the return of

18 Million Victory Gardens
Victory Gardens - Is millions of
them - will be needed in 1943 to
help meet expanding food produc-
ton goals. Farmers are pushing
for the biggest food production in
history under handicaps of labor
and material shortages. A victory
garden is every family's direct
contribution to the war effort
Farmers Pay Off Loans
Farmers repaid $28,00O,000 on
loans administered by the emer-
gency crop and feed loan Offices in
1912, compared with S19,500,0O0
they borrowed during the year.

MARyL AND MERRy-GO-ROUND-
By DREW PEARSON

Later, Congressional cloakrooms
buzZed with conversation regarding
Tydings' proposal. Many years
ago Millard was far-sighted enough
to introduce a resolution that we
examine and lay claim to the Ant
arctic. This was at a time when
few people foresaw that the polar
ice-caps might be all-impOrtant
shortcut air routes.
Today. British island bases are
extremely important, but FDR,
speaking at the White House cor
respondents dinner last week, in
dicated that unquestiOnably the
99-year leases were permanent
leases. So many people doubt the
advisability of rocking the United
Nations boat at this time. Sumner
Welles made this clear in New
York two days later.
Aside from his warning that the
United Nations should eschew po-
litical and commercial rivalries,
the administration has taken no
official cognizance of this hot pota-
to. However, popular Republican
leader Senator Charles L. McNary
WIS quick to see the Significance
Of Tydings' proposition and with
alacritv agreed that this was the
accepted time to begin such nego-

RECENT RULING ON
JOB STATUS KEEPS
PHONES RINGING
Workers Want to Know
If Their Jobs Are
Essential

Inquiries regarding the recent
order of the War Manpower Com
mission which, in effect, will force
those having skills to enter essen
tlal industry, continues to mount
and the Washington County Draft
Boards and the United States EN-
ployment Service are being kept
busy trying to give the answers.
The telephones are ringing and
workers on the other end of the
line are asking: 'Ts my Job essen
tial?"
The first release of nOn-essential
activities was comparatively small
and practically all the inquiries
refer to other jobs not in the orig
inal list. Until additional lists are
released by the Government defin-
lte advise cannot be given, but all
persons between the ages of IS and
SO, not now employed in industries
doing war work, are urged to reg
lister at the Employment Service Of
flee so that if they do possess a
skill they will be in a position to
be referred when the occasion
arises
Scores of persons have already
changed positions here since the
announcement was made last week,
while others have entered the To-
cal vocational training schools for
"refresher" courses. The Employ
ment Service announced this morn
ing that quite a number Of open
ings are available and as many
nOn-essential workers as possible
are being assigned to these jobs.
The following is the list Of non
essential jobs announced by the
War ManpOwer Commissions:
Manufacturing: Curtain, draper
les and bedsprings; pleating.
stitching, tucking and embroider-
ing; trimmings, stamped art goods
and art needlework; cut, beveled
and etched glass; cutware; glass
novelties, mosaic glass, stained.

glass, jewelers. fixings and mater
ials, jewelry. lapidary work, orna-
mental gold and silver leaf and

and plated ware (non-industriaD
costume jewelry and novelties,
decorative feathers, plumes and
artificial flowers, frames, mirror
and picture, greeting cards and
picture post cards; jewelry cases;
signs and advertising displays.
Wholesale and Retail Trade: An
tiques; beer, wines and liquors:
custom tailors and furriers; candy,
confectionery and nuts; florists;

room gossip, is that the issue
gives promise of being so conten-
tious in the stormy peace" days
ahead that the Republicans do not
want an exclusive Democratic label
on the idea. What is foreseen is
that the leased-islands' issue in
the hands of skilled partisan ora
tors and publicists can become
highly popularized, and the public
will be reminded once again of
debt defaults from the last war.
CONGRESSIONAL CLOWN
Only member of the Maryland
Congressional delegation who had
the courage to stand up on his two
feet and express the growing re-
sentiment of many people against
the Dies Committee, was Balti-
more's Dan Ellison.
Otherwise, the Maryland delega-
tion voted supinely in favor of the
grand-standing tactics of the chief
clown of Congress, who has garner
ed more lecture fees and more pub
licity from his so-called investiga-
ton of so-called unAmericanism
than any member of Congress in
ages.

HANGOVERS
By
LITTLE HEISkELL

This and That: Those who
have studied the labor turnover
in this section for years, esti-
mate that the monthly replace
ment schedule here in Hagers-
town in the coming months, may
reach approximately 900 each
80 days; that figure sounds high
and perhaps ridiculous, but not
if you knew the approximate
number of men to be inducted
into the army from Washington
County this year. - Speaking of
labor: Quite few employees
are making applications for job
releases either through the COM
pany for which they now work, or
the United States Employment
Service; in order to make
transfer to another industry, the
reasons set forth must be very,
very good; to date comparatively
few releases have been issued
I'm in "job mood" today, so
let's keep up this labor conversa-
ton: A large employer mot
identified with the airpIane indus
try may be called upon soon to
change tactics in recruiting la
Dor; seems that they have no
scrupIes in grabbing men from
essential industries hereabouts
for jobs in which comparatively.
little training is required.-That
labor-manaeement committee, in
the making for many moons, is
just about completed and an
nouncement of its final organiza-
ton can be expected next week;
the committee is probably the
most important Federal set-up to
date, and is of vital interest to
those engaged in war production.
labor Pirates" Representa-
tives of out-of-town companies
who charge into Hanerstown on
Iabor-raidins expeditions, are
now reported Immediately to
Washington; if they persist in
their activities the Government
simply cancels any war contracts
they might have; it's as simple
as that and extremely effective,
and that's why few if any are
seen in this neck Of the woods
these days. - When you read Of
employees not taking their war
jobs seriously and laying off
whenever the idea strikes 'em,
don't put all the men and women
workers in that class; fact is,
there are thousands of war
workers in local industries who
take great pride in their record
of being on the job every day;
incidentally, the bets in Washing
ton favor passage of legislation
to slap down on the worker who
apparently isn't interested in
the number Of hours he works
and knocks off whenever he feels
like it.-Tip to workers who
walk off their jobs with the
thought in mind that they can
step right into another one: Take
it easy, felIah, your prospective
employer may insist on a "re-
lease" from your former en-
ployer, and if he and the Employ
ment Service both refuse you
that little piece of paper, you
are out of luck, at least for some
time to come. Anyway, all OF
us will feel better if we stick in
there and pitch for the duratiSn.

Refugees
Rescue
Debated

HAMILTON. Bermuda, April %
I INS)-Delicate problems created
by the task of rescuing thousands
of war victims made homeless by
the Axis were up for discussion
today by delegates TO the Anglo
American refugee conference.
One Of the subjects under de-
bate was whether Hitler should be
asked TO an orderly exodus of
refugees from AXis-dominated
countries. possibly in exchange for
prisoners of war. Another topic
was the possibility of lifting the
blockade of Europe sufficiently TO
get food supplies to the perse-
cuted.
The conference yesterday COM
pleted the wedding out Of prelim-
mary problems. The delegates
agreed that there was little likeh-
hood of providing refugee Ravens

the military campaign and critical
political situation there But pos
Sible Ravens in neutral countries
