MORE STRIKES

Prospects for settlement of the

Dor Board admitted the justice OF
many demands made by the work
ers. II is significant to find that the
decision of the Labor Board was
approved by twelve members, none
of whom are labor members.
The seven labor members dissent

jority. and these gentlemen ex-
planned the position as follows:
THE labor members submit that

BIG THINGS ARE
IN THE PLANNING

The statements made by Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Premier
Churchill during the past few days
indicate that the invasion of Eu-
rope will take place soon. The
Mediterranean is open to our ships
and Italy and the French Riviera
are certain to fall under control
of the combined forces of the
United States. Britain and France.
1t doesn't take even a typewriter
strategist" who follows the news
of Allied air might to discover that
there are gaping holes all around
the Axis war machine. The Rus
slams are driving the invading Ger
mans Westward, and the United
Nations are driving them into new
pockets. Washington isn't talking
very much about the European war
of 1914 these days because there
are high hopes that it will all be
over before that time.

While serving lonely vigil at
this post. one of the observers to
while away an hour, jOtted down
these few lines. which express the
sentiments and feelings of not only
this one, but many observers who
are trying to serve their country
in the line of duty:
1 am not a poet. and well do know
it,
But will tell you my duty and
views.
see a plane; what shall l do?
Call Operator. Say Army Flash,
1871.
How many planes are there?
There's only one.
But if it's not reported, some harm
may be done.
How many motors? | think there's
two.
That is twice as deadly. and could
kill quite few.
What is the altitude? l would say
low.
1t looks like our plane, but still you
never know.
What is the observation code? 1t is
George Q O4.
But this is a secret, to be kept be-
hind this door.
What is the location. It's just
north of here.
Where's it headed It's going west
fear.
Now. this completes my call. it
wasn't hard to do.
1t might save someone's life, or
maybe quite few.
And if it helps just little.
II makes me mighty proud,
To serve my country in some small
way;
could shout it right out loud.

AAA To Allow Full
Benefit Payments
State Farmers Who Were Unable
To Plant 300 VIII Get Aid

Full benefit payments will be
allowed by the Agricultural Ad-
justment Agency to Delaware far
mers who were unable to plant 80
per cent or more of their war-crop
goals because of floods and the
cold, wet spring. Clarence Z.
Ocheltree, chairman of the Della
ware Agricultural Conservation
Committee, said today.
Under the 1943 AAA'program the
farmer adopted war-crop prOduc-
ton goals for his farm and his
benefit payments were contingent
on his planting at least ninety per
cent of the total of his goals.
This modification of the pro-
gram was urged by the War Food
TO encourage far
mers to plant late crops on acre
age where abnormal rains inter
fered with their war crop plant
ing.

Trolley Aids Suffolk
To 0utdraw Belmont
Most New York Racine
Fans Walk Last Mile

BY the Associated Press.
1t has been discovered that the
race track patron, after all. likes a
bit of comfort.
Until yesterday it was believed
that the turf addict would march
through a confagration drinking
salt water for the chance to see the
thoroughbreds run.
But officials learned otherwise
yesterday. Belmont Park, sometimes
called the largest track in the United
States, opened with 1892 spec
tators-most of whom had to come
by ankle express the last mile of
the way.
At Boston, Suffolk Downs began
its spring meeting with $4,000 in
the stands and betting booths. The
Massachusetts, seaside park is served
by trolley car, and virtually all the
spectators rode to the parks gate.
In both cases automobile parking
lots were closed to the general pub
lie, the Boston park allowing only
machines of officials to enter its lone
open portal.
