The W ashington
Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
major Robert 8. Allen on active dutyJ

WASHINGTON. - High ranking
officials of the Agriculture Depart
ment are frank in saying that far
mers are impeding the war effort
Just as much as striking coal min
ers when they stage sit down
strike on corn.
Feed corn is desperately needed
by poultry farmers, dairy farmers,
and corn professors. But corn is
not moving to market because far
mers are holding for a higher price.
The typical farmer in the corn
belt today is looking at his bins full
of corn and reasoning that he
might as well hold it for while,
since he doesn't need the cribs yet,
and since the price might go up.
Washington is partly to blame
for this. The attacks on OPA, the
firing of Chester Davis, and the
Congressional demands to set aside
the price ceiling, all have created
uncertainty. 80 tne FARMER SltS
tight, saying, I'll just wait till they
make up their minds"
But when thousands of farmers
do the same thing, it creates a
scarcity which throws the national
economy out of gear just as much
as the lack of coal production. The
patriotic thing to do. say Washing
ton officials, is to send your corn
to market now, especially since the
farmer is guaranteed the benefit of
a price rise, if it comes.
Meantime, the corridors OF the
Department of Agriculture are
seething. Pressure for a corn rise
is terrific. This is Marvin Jones
first big battle.

wICKARD GOES SHOPPING

Secretary of Agriculture Claude
Wickard went shopping with Mrs:
Wickard the other day. He stood
in the grocery store watching the
shoppers, while Mrs. Wickard did
the buying.
He noticed crush in front of
the meat counter, while the vege-
tables, including potatoes, were
going begging.
That's human nature for you, "
unused Wickard only few weeks
ago, when potatoes were short for
a few days, there was a great howl
from the public, and potatoes were
sold in the black market. Now
there's plenty of potatoes = but
everybody wants meat
When Mrs. Wickard appeared
from the crush, she announced with
pride that she had some meat.
How much did you pay for it?"

IF manufacturers did not take
this attitude and went out after
contracts which would require
more and more labor, Dayton
would be right back where it was.
AS a matter of fact it is going to
take continued effort and coopera-
ton to stay out of a No. 1 Area.
The change to a No. 2 Area does
not affect the 48-hour week. Part
of the program adopted by the
War Manpower Committee called
for the extension of the 48-hour
week wherever possible.
There are two big jobs to be
done to keep Dayton from going
back into a No. / Critical Area
One is to stay within May-June
employment peaks. The others il
to bring every possible new loca
worker into the market and thil
applies particularly to women.
Dayton has gotten out of a No
/ Area, the problem now is Il
stay out.

request for 100000 pints of blood
plasrna last year has this year
been increased to a total of
$4,000 pints. All of the blood
plasna supplied to our armed
forces is collected through the
agency of the American Red Cross.
The Blood Plasma Mobile Unit
which comes to Dayton, Septem-
Der 7 for four weeks will have
it's headquarters in the basement
of the Masonic Temple, at River
view and Belmont Park. The unit
personnel consists of a doctor,
five trained nurses, a technical
secretary and a shipping clerk.
They will be assisted by local Red
Cross nurses aides, canteen work
ers, staff assistants and other
volunteers. Plans for the project
are being laid by the Montgom-
cry County Blood Plasma Com
ittee, headed by Mrs. Sherwood
Standish, and her vice. chairmen,
Mrs. Greer Marechal and Mrs.
Anthony Haswell.
Appointments for donors will be
booked every fifteen minutes from
lis through 7 p. m. on Tuesdays,
Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fri
days; and from 9 a. m. through
2:30 on Saturdays for the four
weeks period. The entire process
of giving blood usually takes
around IS minutes, including reg
istration, donation and refresh
ment. It is quite painless, and
perfectly safe-a healthy individ-
uaI may give a pint of his blood as
often as every eight weeks. Bronze
Red sCross blood donor pins are
given to each volunteer, and those
who have given their blood three
times receive a silver pin.

has previously made four visits
to Dayton, and each time sue

There are four classifications
which are applied to different
areas. Number /, areas of acute
labor shortage. No. 2, areas of
stringency and those anticipating a
labor shortage within six months.
No. 3, areas in which a general
labor shortage may be anticipated
after six months. No, 4, areas in
which labor supply is, and will
continue to be adequate to meet
all known labor requirements.
On January /, 1913, the five
counties of Preble, Montgomery,
Greene, Clark and Champaign
were declared a No. l Critical
Area. This, of course, included
Dayton and Springfield. When
that classification was made, all
of the $500 procurement agencies
in the country were notified.
This meant that in placing any
contracts after that date, these
agencies would have to be gov
ernned by the limitations placed
on No. l Critical Areas. These
provided that no new contracts
should be placed or existing con-
tracts renewed in a No. 1 Area
If suitable facilities could be found
elsewhere.
Since almost all war items made
in Dayton are also made in other
places as well, our own factories
were Immediately placed at a dis
advantage in securing additional
work. This was especially true
because Dayton was among the
first to be classified as a No. 1
Area.
, 1943-08-19
Loss of Contracts

In the seven months from jan
uary 1 to August 1, the loss of a
number of contracts could be def
initely traced to the fact that this
was a No. l Area. Undoubtedly
others were not placed here for
the same reason, although it was
not always possible to tell just
why a contract was not secured.
On August /, after four months
of effort by the people of both
Dayton and Springfield, the situa-
ton had been sufficiently changed
to secure Redistribution by the
War Manpower Commission.
Among the most important things
in making this possible, was the
agreement of manufacturers not
to expand employment above May
June levels without securing VINO
approval, the curtailing of est
mates for future operation n
the bringing of more women into
factories and other places of en-
ployment.
Being in a No. 2 area does not
permit the placing of new con-
tracts with Dayton manufacturers
If suitable facilities can be found
elsewhere. But it does permit the
renewal of existing contracts.
And, according to Interpretation
of the ruling, renewal contracts
may be interpreted to include con-
tinuation of production of the
same items or even definitely diff
ferent items, provided no addi-
tional workers or facilities are
needed.

The use of blood-plasma has
been deemed by medical officers
one of the greatest Announcements
in medical science in the last CEN
fury. The blood given by patriotic
citizens back home has saved the
lives of thousands of our service
men injured in battle. 1t is of
particular value in cases of trau-
matte shock, and because it can
be administered Immediately, be-
fore a wounded man is carried
back to his base hospital for
further medical treatment. In
many cases more than n trans
fusion is necessary to save the
life of an injured man-there are
cases on record where more than
20 pints of blood plasma have
been administered to a single in
jured man. Proof of its efficacy
lies in the fact that the army-navy

Cooperation Needed

Briefly, reclassification means
that Dayton factories are in a
much better position to get con-
tracts than they were before.
However, it is a general agree
ment that no company will seek
contracts which would require
more labor than it had in May
June or that it predicted it would
have to have at that time to full
fill existing commitments.

at this time to fill Daytons quota in the nationwide program to

which may be made by calling the Blood Donor Registration Com
