tests and asked for more extensive
and more frequent blackouts at a
fact-finding hearing of the Commit
tee on Police and Fire Protection of
the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tionS.
Chief Air Raid Warden William j.
Mileham told the committee al
though he had told the Army fire.
quently that his wardens wanted
more blackouts, nothing had been
done about it. He said that while
he approved surprise blackouts, he
felt they should be augmented by
air raid tests in which the public
was warned a test would occur
within specified time.
Porter Lumpkins, executive direc-
tor OF the Department of Civilian
Defense. testified that his original
plans called for warnings to the pub
Tic several days before the raid test,
but that the Army had put these
plans aside after a brief time and
Instituted surprise blackouts.
Mr. Lumpkins pointed out that
Washington has had only three
tests since June and recommended
that tests be held more often.
Capt. Herbert A. Friede, chief of
communications for the Depart
ment of Civilian Defense. agreed
with Chief Warden Milehams state
ments. He also described the diff
culties he had encountered in set
ting up the District communication
system without being able to get
WPB priorities.
c. H. Newell. speaking for Harry
Wender, president of the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations, said
that Mr.. Wender felt that surprise
blackouts should be supplanted by
raid tests in which the public was
given warning.

of the meeting, which was held in

/ INDIANAPOLIS (FP) = "Jesse
James in His Heyday Had More
Principles" walls the Indiana
Chamber of Commerce in an ex-
.pensively done pamphlet just issued
under that title.
The folder tells the sad story of
how organized labor defeated house
bill 400, which would have required
unions to file financial statements
with the secretary of state.
The chamber says that the idea
for the bill originated in the grass
roots of Pekin, a small Hoosier
town, and follows with a genial,
corn-flavored description of the
supposed author of the bill-Repre-
sentative Leo M. Dennis.
1t does not explain who authored
the similar bills which sprang full

can-fertilized grass roots in AZ

compared which has not changed

OPA has taken action against
Mars Inc, manufacturers of For

out corresponding reduction in

VICTORY GARDEN

If you've never grown a garden
before, this is the year to start.
You can do it, if you have a piece
of ground which gets six hours or
more of sun a day and is not full
of tree roots. But it takes work,
water and fertilizer. And it takes
a little planning.
In Consumer Reports for April,
experts advise on what to do with
various types of soil; how to plan
and lay out the garden; what and
when to plant; what amounts of
fertilizers, seeds and insecticides
you will need and where you can
get the best buys.
Gardeners may go astray on
seeds. Don't be misled by gaily
colored packets in the dime or
hardware store, These are seldom
good buys. The following seed

America than in Zahle itself. |
went to Zahle to stay one day and
left, very regretfully, after ten
days of unbelievably generous
hospitality.
A Kiss for the President
1t was in Zahle, for instance,
that a woman Of about so came up
to me as l was walking along the
main street and asked me, in
French, whether | was really an
American. | said yes, and she
asked me if she could kiss me,
then and there. So she did, on both
cheeks. "Once for President Roose-
welt, and once for all other Amer
leans, may God bless them"
What she said about "all other
Americans" makes point that
should be underlined: This Law
ish gratitude and hospitality
that Americans in the Middle
East are receiving is emphatical-
ly not for us as individuals, but
as symbols of the 10000, 900
Americans back home. Through
us here, they are thanking
everybody in the States.
Even the money situation helps
this pleasant state of affairs. For
example, the lowest paid Ameri-
can seaman receives today at least
$500 month, or about as much
as British major. And the dollar
is at a premium, worth in pur-
chasing power nearly a half more
than face value.
For economy's sake, American
merchant marine officers have dis

no comment.
The demonstration was called to
protest strike by District SO,
UNIV, at the Newark plant of the
Celanese Corp, with which the
TWUA has had a contract for
several years.

tributing UNIV literature and
membership cards on company
time. The UNIV, claiming ma
jority of the workers at the plant,
is demanding certification as sole
collective bargaining agent.
Production at the plant, which
employs 1900 workers on it's three
shifts, has been almost completely
tied up. The UNIV has thrown a
picket line of 100 members around
the nlant.

ment adds that children under

more minor children of whatever
age should consider any decision
of working outside the homes un-
less adequate care can be provided
within the home, by means of COM
petent housekeepers, or outside the
