The boys then dropped their rocks
in a flash
And to the hen they fled;
But they had thrown their last stray
stone
For poor Becky hen was dead.
The boys in terror fled to the woods
To bury poor Becky hen;
But hurried back to the scene of
the crime
And feigned calm games again.
The next few days passed by ton
slow,
For their Dad missed his pet with
regret,
He questioned each one of the boys
But each in his doubt was set.
One following day their Dad found
the hen,
Lying hidden behind stump,
For the boys in their haste made
bad mistake
And left protruding hump.
Then the boys were questioned once
again,
And when still they told no clue,
Then Dad just threshed them one
by one -
Till they were all black and blue

Compton Gets
 Open Letter From Labor

(Continued from Page One)
 you voted for the notorious Hobbs sO-called 'Anti-Racketeer- ing Bill.
 ''3. Despite the fact that labOr's wages were frozen, you voted against a $25, ,OOO limitation on salaries.
 A. Although workers wages are frozen, you voted against appropriating funds for rolling back of prices, and you went step further and voted to reduce the funds available to the O.P.A. for price enforcement.
 ''5. You voted to continue the Dies Committee, although you knew that this committee has as its chief job the smearing of trade union leaders, and has be- come known as a headline-seek- ing aggregation.
 True, you voted for the abolition of the poll-tax, for which you deserve due credit, but you turned around and voted to abolish the Home Owners Loan Corporation, which had helped many thousands of workers hold on to their homes.
 s'In our considered opinion, Con- gressman Compton, your voting record shows that you are anti labor, and anti-commOn people. With one exception, every vote of yours on the issues listed in this letter helped people in the higher brackets.
 We make this statement to you be- cause we believe the home front IS an inseparable part of the war front. We therefore urge, that you do everything possible to see to it that the session of Congress which convenes does not re- peat the mistakes of the last session.
 ''We urge that you be back to Washington as the representative of ALL of the people of your Dis trict. We urge that you put aside hate of the New Deal and of our Commander in Chief, President Roosevelt, and devote your energies to legislation which will recognize the part the common people are playing in winning this war; and which will bring about a tax policy based on equality of sacrifice for ALL. The rollback of prices must be accomplished if we are to avoid imitation. Wages must keep pace with the increased cost of living.
 ''Finally, partisan political pickering must end. Congress should set the nation an example of united teamwork. If this is not accomplished, many lives will be sacrificed needlessIy as the war is prolonged.
 These are the considered be- Iiefs Ot the soOrking people of your. District. We expect yOu to see to tt that they are properly and accurately represented in Congress.

 Spokesmen for the center, which has been i'll operation since August, l942, pointed out that the additional income could we'll be used for war bonds and war philanthropies. Block leaders will help by visiting homes with a questionnaire and explaining the needs. Householders, it is stated, will be free to accept or reject appli- cants tor rooms as they see fit.
 The opening of the two new air craft plants, Fitzgerald said, will add to the hundreds of requests for housing now on file from war work CTS and military personnel.
