BIGGEST QUESTION

The one question fired at me
more often than any other
throughout this journey. espe-
cially following speeches, has
been:
"Will America he able to
handle the public debt IL is pill
ing up"
Sometimes the question takes
this form
"Will there be reputation of
government obligations or par
tial reputation by anoth her
reduction in the gold content of
the dollar"
My stand is that, II the adj
ministration exercises common
sense and every feasible eco
nomy. this country has such
wonderful potentialities, such
limitleSs resources, such inven-
tive genius, such recuperative
powers, that we should be able
10 emerge from victorious war
in condition 10 maintain solvency

MORE INTELLIGENT

The worthwhileneSs of i'm
proving breeds of cattle. pigs
and other farm animals is more
widely recognized today than
ever before. Intelligent farmers
have become acutely aware that
a scrub consumes just as much
food as a thoroughbred. And
that thoroughbred COWS produce
more milk, that the best class
OF pigs command a better price
than razorbackS.
However. if the beef you buy
isn't juicy. here is the probable
explanation: For one thing, our

At Washington Farley
Of Plan.

The possibility of a one and a
half cent increase in the ceiling
price of chickens on the Delmarva
Peninsula was advanced Wednes-
day of this week to a group of
Peninsula growers by the Office of
Price Administration at a meeting
held in Washington, d. c. The in
crease would bring poultrymen 80
cents a pound.
The OPA officials were told by
State Senator Clayton H. Bunting.
Selbyville, spokesman for the poul-
trymen, that broiler raisers cannot
operate profitably unless ceiling
prices are adjusted. He pointed out
that feed costs had increased from
$40 a ton last year to near $50 a
ton.
Senator James NJ. Tunnel of
Delaware d d ed the Delaware
growers have the facilities to pro-
duce more poultry but no one can
expect them to produce at a loss.
1T is merely question of whether

that the OPA was entirely sympa-

Pilot Balls Out In
Milton Plane Crash
Fire Destroys Machine, As Second
Craft Returns To Dover Base

One pilot parachuted-presum-

back to his base, after a collision
between two single-engine mill
tary planes out of the Dover Air
Base about three miles from the
Milton Aircraft Warning Service
post at 7:45 A. NJ. last Thursday.
The plane of the pilot who bailed
out crashed in a woods south of
Milton and was destroyed by fire.
The pilots identity has not yet
been learned.
The crash in mid-air was wit
messed by George A. Goodwin,
spotter on duty at the aircraft
warning post near the edge of Mil
ton. He said he saw three planes,
and was about to report their flight
to the filter station when sudden
ly one of the planes apparently
crashed into the tail of another.
Then Goodwin saw the pilot of
the damaged plane bail out while
the ship plummeted to the ground.
The other two ships circled in
the district. the pilots making sure
of the safety of their fellow-flier.
In the meantime, Goodwin i'm

Labor Draft Is
Believed Near
North DakOta Senator
Thinks Action Necessary
If Production LagS

Senator Chan Gurney (R-ND),
member of the Senate Military Af-
fairs Committee, recently said there
is possibility of labor draft in
the United States if war production
continues to lag.
THE people must realize that
they must put in a full days work
every day if we are going to win
this war" Gurney asserted in COM
menting on warnings from WPB
Chief Donald Nelson and Lieuten-
ant-General Brehon B. Somervell
that production is behind schedule.
1t was learned, meanwhile, that
WPB officials are greatly concern
ed over an extraordinarily high
labor turnover rate which is now
at about eight per cent per month
in all manufacturing establish
ments. The extent to which war
workers are quitting their jobs and
taking new ones elsewhere is said
to be partly responsible, at least,
for recent disappointing war pro-
duction trends.
