the duration and put hundreds Of
persons out of work if the cond.-
tion continues was sounded by Mr..
Pratt.
He pointed out that the Depart
ment of Food Administration asked
that dressed poultry be shipped to
New York Immediately to Offset a
severe shortage.
I'VE were unable to purchase any
poultry to send and at the same
time I learned that 80 loads of live
poultry had been received in the
New York market on that day. This
is far above the normal supply of
live poultry received in the mar
ket," he said.
The Army is also asking us for
million pounds of poultry a week
that we are not able to furnish be-
cause of the failure to sell through
the regular channels" Mr.. Pratt
said.
James NJ. Tunnel, Jr., George
town. said that he had received
telephone calls from three buyers
during the past several days Offer
ing him more than the ceiling price
set by OPA for poultry.
Coal Supply Assured
Other speakers who urged that
the poultrymen sell to the estab-
lished plants in the area included
Fl. f. Williamson, Georgetown. dis
trict manager of the New England
Poultry Council. and Roland Beau
champ, Selbyville. president of the
Delmarva Broiler Industry Associa-
tion.
J. H. Tattersall, Washington, rep
resentative of the hard coal section
of the Department of Interior, as
sured poultrymen they would re-
ceiYe the same amount of coal for
brooder houses as they received
last year He warned them, how
ever. that it is not likely that ad-
ditional coal will be available for
increased production facilities.
Robert c. Barab. an attorney as
sociated with the Wilmington Office
of the OPA. has been appointed a
special assistant to the U. S. Dis
trict Attorneys Office to assist a
grand jury investigation into the
black market conditions in the poul-
try industry.
Drive Launched
At Baltimore Leo II. Mccormick. I
director of the Maryland Office of
Price Administration said OPA in 4
vestigatcrs had launched a drive !
with renewed force" to stamp out
an existing black market in poul-
try" on the Eastern Shore.
The director said Maryland in
vestigators were lending full sup /
port to Delaware enforcement at /
torneys who are assisting in a fed
eral grand jur investigation of
the situation throughout the Del |
marva Peninsula"
1T appears that live buyers
from New York state are resOrting I
to the familiar racketeering device
of making purchases of thousands |
of birds which are then paid for by /
check in the correct amount ac-
cording TO ceiling prices in effect,
but with an additional cash pay
mems being made on the side to
producers of the poultry" McCor-
mick said.

IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST

No one who is affected by high
way transportation, and that in
cludes just about every citizen in
the country, should miss the i'm
portant facts established in the
document entitled Transportation
in the Public Interest" published
by the National Highway Users
Conference.
There is SO much to read dur
ing war time that there is danger
of even as vital a report as that
compiled by the Dillman. Stocker
and Worley Committee escaping
the attention it deserves" is the
estimate of this publication by Har-
vey {. Fruehauf. president of the
/ Freuhauf Trailer Company. and he
adds: Congress made provision in
the Transportation Act of 1910 for
a Board of Investigation and Re
search whose duties were to inyes-
/ tigate carriers as TO their relative
economy and fitness, the extent OF
their subsidi2ation and taxation.
etc. The investigation was for the
purpose of assisting in determining
a national transportation policy.
The National Highway Users Con-
ference asked Grover c. Dillman.
President of the Michigan College
of Mining and Technology; Harry
E. Stocker. Assistant Professor OF
Transportation. New York Univer-
sity; and John S. Worley, Profess
or of Transportation Engineering.
University of Michigan, to study
and report upon subject matter
which might be of value 10 the
Board of Investigations and Re
search and in the public interest.
The report of this Committee,
contained in the document entitled
Transportation in the Public In
terest, becomes increasingly i'm
portant as the war goes on and ad-
justments in transportation are
made, according to Mr.. Fruehauf,
who recommends the report for
careful study by those in the trans
portation industry. as well as by
and other regulatory
bodies concerned with transporta-
tion.
Unlike most reports, ii calls not
for further regulations, but for the
repeal of tremendous amount Of
present regulation which cannot be
shown to be in the public interest.
Ii points out that we have devoted
one hundred years to arduOus en-
actment of regulatory requirements
but that little or no time or
thought has been given to the re-
peal of restrictions which have
either served their purpose, never
had any purpose, or were of little
value. The report can be secured

UNFAIR TO FARMERS
AND wORKERS
]. E. Jones


Washington, ID. c., March LA
breakdown Of manpower problems
shows that on the basis of present
plans the armed services of the
United States demand 10,700, ,000
for the war effort. More than g.
100000 of Americas population
will be either in the armed services
or employed in various capacities,
The official estimate brings 609o, or
3S million, under the heads of
military forces" and war produc-
tion. The farm situation calls for
S,500,000 workers, and about the
best that Secretary Wickard has
been able to do is express hopes
that 3,000,000 men, women and chill
dren may be enlisted to take the
places of skilled and regular farm
hands who for various reasons
have left the farm. The President,
Secretary Wickard. Manpower
Chairman McNutt and the Congress
of the United States apparently
agree that the greatest threat to
agriculture is manpower.
No one disputes the Secretary of
Agriculture who is so optimistic as
to predict that the 1943 crops will
be the greatest on record. But just
how these crops are to be harvested
even with the help of volunteers"
and soldiers is puzzle for which
the answer is lacking. There are
not more than 5 million farm work
ers in sight, and their numbers
are decreasing. The reason is that
farm workers have no trouble in
getting jobs in war production
plants at twice the wages they get
on the farms.
We are starting right now on
broad food rationing plan, and an
emergency price ceiling program
has been clamped hurriedly on
fresh vegetables at levels that ex-
listed about the middle of February.
Practically every effort and every
plan to increase the rate of pay of
farm workers has failed to get the
support of the Administration and
the war agencies. Senators and
Congressman argue this point and
call it unfair to farm workers. 1t
is perfectly evident that the nation
is short of manpower. 1t also ap-
pears that the food shortage is
with each passing week.
And there you are. The farm
worker must get more money from
now on, or the full harvest will not
be gathered from the fields this
and fall. Incentive pay
ments" or subsidies" are in dis
favor with Congress. You can't
run the farms without men, and
you can't get men to work on the
farms this year unless they get
higher wages than the farmers can
pay. Senators, Congressman, Ad-
Generals. Administrators,
and all other classes of politicians
have discovered that it
takes something more than speech
es to make farm workers stay on
the farms.

SAFETY COUNCIL NOTES

This has aptly been called an
"all-out" war. 1t might with equal
( Justice be called an 'all-in" war,
because all of us are in it, and will
/ be inescapably until victory is ours.
Now more than ever before each
of us is important to the nation;
each of us must stay able-bodied to
produce for victory. This is one of
the added duties war has brought.
Many of us failed that duty last
year. In our own homes, 3O.500
were killed; 10000 were perman-
emily injured. More than four
million others incurred lesser in
juries.
Let's ask ourselves: Am I doing
my duty to the men sweating in
the African desert, Or muffied
against the bitter Aleutian wind, if
let myself or one of my family be
needlessly hurt at home? Am |
doing my share if one of my family
or myself interrupts war produc-
tion by having an accident? Even
if that member is not a worker.
have l the right further to overtax
medical facilities for the treatment
of injuries needlessly incurred?
The Delaware Safety Council
points out that most home acci-
dents can be prevented. For this
reason. common sense precautions
are vitality important. They re-
ouire little time. effort or ex-
pense; keeping toys from under
foot. for example. or anchorinS
stair carpeting securely, will help
prevent serious or fatal accidents.
Such precautions will help save
manpOwer for warpower.

Winning The War

If food will win the war, John G.
Tarbutton, farmer of near Dover,
and his son Leon, will be firing
some of the winning shots.
When the war took the last hired
men from the Tarbuton farm of $50
acres they didn't surrender. In
stead they took over an adjoining
farm of .275 acres which was out
of production and will operate both
farm at peak production.
They will increase their soybean
acreage from As to 80 acres, in
crease their large dairy herd and
raise more pork. All are war crops.
Several new motion pictures have
been made available by the Office
of War Information for free distri-
button through the Delaware Uni
ted States Department of Agricul-
ture War Board. Lists of these
pictures and available dates may
