MARYLAND MERRy-GO-ROUND-
- BY DREW PEARSON --

Washington, d. C.-Maryland's S
Attorney General William C. Walsh
has taught Senator Tom Connolly
of Texas and other voluble enemies
of the soldiers vote bill a new
wrinkle in filibustering.
Walsh went Connolly one better
in "filibustering" against the bill,
which exempt men in the armed
forces from registering and paying
poll taxes in order to vote. He
resorted to the neat tactic of
ignoring the bill after it had pass
ed. In other words he over-ruled
the Congress of the United States.
This new wrinkle was brought
to light during survey by Repre-
sentative Robert L. Ramsey of
West Virginia, author of the
soldiers vote bill. Ramsey want
ed to determine it's effects in bring
ing out the absentee vote of
soldiers and sailors.
But effects were virtually nil in
Maryland, according to Thomas
E. Jones, secretary of state. Jones
informed Ramsay that in adverse
ruling by Walsh had greatly in
terfered with the operation of the
new law.
Unfortunately, Jones wrote
Ramsay, "a considerable number
of votes were lost because of the
Attorney Generals rule that the
Federal law, at least that section
OF it providing that absentee
soldier voters need not be register
ed. was not applicable in Mary
land"
Jones disclosed that Maryland
now has statute, passed in 1918,
which governs absentee voting by
men in the service. Jones added
that "our difficulty here in Mary
land was the problem of using both
the Federal law and the State law
at the same time"
The Hagerstown globe., 1943-01-01

AS 1912 becomes history, the
tide of battle seems at last to
have turned in favor of the Allies.
The year began dismally with the
grinding Japanese offensives at
Singapore, Malaga, Bataan and
Corregidor. We were outmanned
and outgunned. No better com
ment has yet been expressed con-
corning our early defeat than the
now proverbal, "Too little, too
late"
Luckily, we took steps to set
matters right. We stopped the
manufacture of most civilian goods
requiring metals. rubber and other
scarce commodities.
We were uncomfortable at the
thought of being unable to obtain
any more washers, radios, refrigef-
ators and what not But as Ameri-
can war production began to make
itself felt, we knew we had been
right in giving war production top
priority in materials and men.
Without this priority, we could not
have achieved our naval victories
in the Pacific and Guadalcanal and
our invasion of North Africa would
have been impossible.
AS 1943 gets underway, the Axis,
no longer invincible on land or sea
goes on the defensive and now

ON THE HOME FRONT

must fight where and when the AL
lies decide
But we must not relax because
the enemy is on the defensive. We
still must seek him out and destroy
him.
The new year will be hard year,
far harder on civilians than 1912.
There will be inevitable shortages,
discomfort and privation, but the
sacrifices will be repaid by victory.
Outlook For New Year
There is no certainty as to the
outlook for the new year. From
the best sources these are the pos
sibilities for 1943:
Manpower: By the end of the
year, it is expected that the armed
forces will contain some $1,000
persons. War industries will re-
quire 20,0O0,000 workers to supply
them. At this time, these goals are
roughly two-thirds in hand.
To meet the war production la
Dor goal, an increasing number of
women must be trained for these
positions. The drafting of man
power for the armed forces will be
effected so as not to upset our war
or essential civilian production pro-
grams.
There will be no arbitrary draft
ing of farm workers to meet the

stride, were being heralded in
1851 as oracles of production.
Martin, then a pioneer in plane
building, was scoffed at because
he told military authorities that
he could build only three planes
a day. So the builders of new trick
roadsters began getting the orders.
But they got little further than
blue prints and motors. Some
how they just couldn't get their
mass production off the ground.
Finally, Martin received an order
from Washington to produce few
sample bombers, chiefly to keep
him quiet.
So just six months after receiv-
ing the order and only months
before the Armistice, Martin de-
livered twin-motor biplane carry
ing bomb load of 1860 pounds.
Experts later declared that had
Martin been permitted to build his
sample" at an earlier date it
would have proved to be the most
important weapon of the war ex-
cept the tank. 1t was this bomber
which the late air prophet General
Billy Mitchell used to sink battle
ship, cruiser, destroyer and
several submarines. This was in
1921 when we were getting rid of
armament.
Martin had his difficulties after
that. His original Cleveland back
ers withdrew as soon as the war
was over, figuring there was no
possibility of further conflagration
And on Capitol Hill they were call
ing Martin a merchant of death"
even as late as 1897.
But Martin has prevailed and
now has plans for outdoing the
giant 140,000-pound Mars. He has
completed designs for a 250,000-
FOUNDER, and is ready to start on
500000-pounder cargo carrier.

requirements Of the first two cate
gories. The present plan is to
keep 100000 essential workers on
the farm so that food production
goals may be attained.
There is very real shortage of
manpower.
Civilian Shortages
You may have come away from
your Christmas shopping with the
thought that ample supplies of
most civilian goods were available
in goodly supply. What you pur-
chased for your Christmas gifts is
likely no longer being manufacture
ed. Empty shelves will become in
creasingly noticeable in all stores,
Metal rubber, textile, chemical,
wood, fuel and food supplies will
be closely controlled. All of these
are military items. First call will
be to the armed forces. Supplies
for civilians will be limited but
adequate.
Food Pinch; No Famine
Despite rumors springing up like
wild fire, the American diet for
1943 will not be measurably chang
ed. Meats will be scarcer but
available in amounts which nutri-
tion experts believe will be ade-

Hagerstown will be one of the

throughout the year. All previous
production records are due to fall
rationing will be part of our every
day lives, and sacrifices experience
ed in 1912 will be mild compared
to those in store for the people
during the year to come This is
no mere guess-it's in the cards.
The country during the past II
months has chalked up a produc-
ton record never before equalled
by any nation. But the coming
year will find additional plants in
operation, and several million
women punching time clocks in
the shops and factories of the
country. They will be performing
jobs that only a few years ago
would have been termed impossible
by many employers. Many more
thousands of women will join the
army, and navy, taking over posi-
tions now held by men, who in turn
will be released for active line duty
on the world battle fronts.
Production will win the war and
America has set the pace Thous-
ands of planes, tanks, ships and
cannon will roll off the assembly
lines and a continuous stream of
these vital war materials will flow
, to the fronts. The big job for the
men and women at home is to
keep 'em rolling" where they are
most needed
War will be brought closer home
to those left behind for the equally
important job of keeping the army
supplied with food and equipment.
The farmer will be expected to
produce larger crops for America
and her allies, and the trained
farm worker will be frozen" to
his job of tilling the land. And
! there will be many types of food
rationed for the folks here at home
this being necessary if our fighting
men are to be kept fit to kill those
who would destroy us. And it
might be added that those who
| would chisel on the food program
are poor Americans indeed
The year 1943 may see the end
of World War H. but before victory
is ours we must prepare ourselves
! for many sacrifices. Hard fighting
lies ahead during 1943 and with this
will come many casualties. This
is, and always will be, the price of
freedom. Several millions more
young men will be wearing the uni
form of the Army, Navy, Marine
| Corps and Coast Guard and this in
turn will mean additional hours. of
work for those left at home.
The road ahead looks mighty
rough, but we have faith in our
| fighting men, American labor and
American industry. We have faith
too, in the ability of the American
people to take it."
