Nearly 100000 eggs and approx

destroyed in the blaze Thursday.
Producers said the loss would be
reflected in the poultry markets of
Baltimore, Wilmington, Del; Phila-

three months.
Northern Worcester County and
lower Delaware men connected with
the poultry business have banded
together to employ representatives to

Experts in the trade predicted,
however, that the loss of the Bishop

Congress Mandate
On Farm Price Plan
Asked by Wickard
Quick Approval Sought
Despite Shorp Attacks
On His Proposal
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary of Agriculture Wick
ard asked Congress today for a
clear mandate Immediately" to
proceed with his announced 1943
farm production program along
lines intended to raise farm in
come without raising prices to
consumers.
That program, which had evoked
sharp criticism from members of
Congress, was outlined before the
House Agriculture Committee today.
Il take it for granted" Mr. Wick
ard said, that almost everyone feels
that increased costs to farmers ne
Cessitate increased returns on many
agricultural commodities during
l943.
Nov I want to state frankly that
one way to enable farmers to re-
Ceive the returns necessary to cover
their costs would be by increasing
prices. I do not believe, however,
that all things considered, that this
is the preferable way.
alternatives LlSted.
Substantial increases in farm
prices would inevitably lead to in
creases in prices and costs all along
the line, and might result in an in
f1ation which, in the long run. would
be even more ruinous to farmers
than to others
The Secretary said that there are
other ways of giving farmers in
creased returns. He outlined them
rs follows:
/. Government support of prices
of all farm products needed in the
war effort.
2. A Government offer to purchase
certain products-such as soy beans,
peanuts, fax seed, canned vegetables,
sugar beets and perhaps others
and resell them to professors and
distributors at prices in line with
OPA price ceilings.
g. An offer to farmers of incentive
payments on needed war crops to
enable the producers to meet in
creased costs without raising con-
sumer prices.
Mr.. Wickard has not been able to
proceed with the incentive payment
part of his program because Con-
greSS has refused SO far to appro-
pirate Sl00,000,000 sought for such
payments. Farm State members of
Congress have also criticized the idea
of Government purchase of farm
commodities and resale at lower
prices.
In emphasizing that the farm pro-
gram should be cleared up before
planting time starts next month, Mr.
Wickard said:
I'm order to make more sure of
obtaining maximum agricultural
production in 1943 we should have
clear mandate from Congress i'm
mediately. If we are going to get
vital production we must have pro-
grams which, either through pur-
chase or loan operations or through
incentive payments, will enable
farmers to cover the costs of their
extra efforts"
Mr.. Wickard also asked for i'm
mediate action on his request that
the Government be allowed to sell
100,000,000 bushels of additional
wheat for livestock feed at prices
competitive with corn. Last July,
Congress authorized the sale of 1885,
100000 bushels, but this grain has
been sold He told the committee
the wheat was needed by livestock
and dairy farmers.

 Under cover of darkness, the enemy has been reinforcing its Aleutan base American soil called Narukami Island since it's occupation last June and are evidently making preparations for an attack which the Japs know is coming with longer days and better weather if there is any better weather in the Aeutians.
 But on the other hand too have not been idle According to all information we have recveved, our men have been working hard since the oceupa- ton of the Andreanof Islands.

Non-POlitical Doesn't Mean Anti-AdministratiOn
Philadelphia Record

Philadelphia Record
 If you wanted to run a hospital successfully you wouldn't put it in charge of witch doctor
 No more can the Roosevelt Administration hope to carry out it's program by putting it's avowed enemies in important posts in the program
 The war program should be non-political
 But non-potical means political It doesn't mean that men like Paul McNutt and Leon Tender son should appoint Republican politicians to office instead of Democratic politicians.
 You can't blame the Senators and Congressmen for objecting when they their political enemies being given jobs by the Administration.
 You can't blame them for protesting when they see bitter New Deal haters put into office, while friends of the New Deal are ignored.
 In Georgia, for example. Leon Henderson gave the job of Chief of the OPA Rationng Division to Harry Sommers treasurer of the Republican State Committee.
 In Pennsylvania McNutt appointed ultra conservative Louis F Raycroft, as State Man power Director Raycroft showed his prejudice when he called meeting to deal with the manpower stu- aton--and did not include single representative of labor in the call.
 In South Jersey know of several examples of Republican politicians and Roosevelt-haters being given posts by Leon Henderson, while Democrats were barred because that would have meant put ting politics in the rationng organization
 The Record believes that such posts should not be given to politicians of either party.
 Senators and Congressman should, however be shown this much courtesy by the war agencies;
 Let them submit lists of qualified, non-political candidates for such posts
 From those lists the OPA and other agencies could make their selections. If they could find no candidate suitable then they could choose someone their
 But do think the Senators and Representa- tives have right at least to suggest qualified men.
 And that goes for Republicans in States where the Senators Republican, well for Demo- crats in the States whose Senators are Democrats.
 The program has not been kept out of politics by Henderson and others leaning far over backward that in avoiding political friends they appoint political foes
