District Man Commended
By Knox for Savinq Ship

Comdr. William Peters Hepburn,
U. S. NJ, a native of this city, but
whose home is now at COB Beverly
drive, Alexandria. Va, has been
commended by Secretary of the
Navy Knox for saving merchant
ship at anchor from destruction by
two enemy torpedoes.
At the time of the incident Comdr.
Hepburn was acting as the repre-
sentative of task unit commander
aboard the merchantmen.
This vessel" the citation reads,
was lying at anchor when she was
attacked by an enemy submarine
from range of less than 1000
yards. With supreme presence of
mind, you ordered full ahead on all
engines and full right rudder. BY
this prompt action you caused the
ship to swing rapidly to the right,
so that one enemy torpedo passed
very close ahead and one very close
astern of the vessel, and no hits
were scored. AS a result the ship
was saved from damage which might
have resulted in her loss and the
loss of the valuable cargo which
she carried"

Conrad Thibault
And Miss Upton
Warmly Greeted
BY ELENA DE SAYN,

Enthusiasm ran high at Meridian
Hill Park last night, when a capa-
city audience greeted Conrad
Thibault, baritone. and Martha
Upton. contralto. Both singers were
in excellent form. sang with au-
thority and finish. adding individual
touches to the Interpretation of
several familiar selections.
The popular radio baritone
opened the program with Schubert's
"Serenade,' followed by Yradier's
La Paloma." Curran's "Nocturne"
and "Di Provenza il Mar" from
Verdi's "Traviata." His voice has
a ringing quality, which carries to
the farthest end of the improvised
open air auditorium and seems to
have unlimited volume. Because of
its sympathetic appeal one does not
miss much the absence of finer
standings although their use would
undoubtedly lend more variety to
his delivery and make his singing
still more outstanding.
The selections of Miss Upton con-
sisted of Bizet's "Agnus Del" Tschai-,
kowsky's None but the Lonely
Heart" Strickland's My Lindi Lou"
Malone's Upstream" and My Heart
at Thy Sweet Voice. from Saint
Saens' Samson and Delilah." Her
powerful contralto has the necessary
velvet to infuse the famous aria with
seductive charm, and she was given
an eloquent ovation. My Hero"
from Oscar Straus' Chocolate SOL
der" given by Miss Upton as an
encore, brought another burst of
applause.
At the end of the program the
singers sang jointly Make Believe"
from Kerns SHOW Boat" and
Sweetheart" from Rombergs May
time" Alan Mowbray and Kurt
Adler assisted Mr.. Thibault and Miss
Upton at the piano, respectively.

Farm Leader CHARGES
Group Plots 10 Blame
Labor for Initiation

James G. Patton, president of the
National Farmers Union, last night
charged 'inf1ationist forces with at
tempting to shift the responsibility
for both food shortages and imitation
to organized labor and cosumers
and described their efforts "as bold
as an attempt to steal the Washing
Monument"
He listed Frank E Gannett, New
York State publisher, as one of the
leaders Of the inflationists. and said
he was Joined by certain spokes-
men for various processing and dis
tributing interests, some farm
groups and number of politicians.
The farm leader further charged
IN a statement that John L. Lewis,
head of the United Mine Works, the
United States Chamber of Com
merce and private banking inter-
ests' as being "allies" of the infla-
tionists lin fighting the Economic
Sterilization Act and in defeating
the proposals that would have ex-
banded war food production by 20
per cent and recruited labor for it's
harvesting, processing and distribu-
ton to consumers without the plow-
ing under rot and wastage that is
now going on"
Mr.. Patton called on the Truman
committee Immediately to investi-
gate the effects of existing farm
labor legislation on American food
production and added:
The shocking waste of man.
power now imposed on the War
ManpoWer Commission and the
War Food Administration by Con-
gress' action in freezing labor in
each county must be ended. Con-
gress should repeal this vicious pro-
vision Immediately"
Some administrative agencies
have tried to make good on the
pledges implicit in the Sterilization
Act, Mr.. Patton asserted, but their
failures-and they have been many
have been due to appeasement of,
and defeat by, the very forces now
seeking to transfer blame for in
flation from themselves to the enc
mics of infation'

J. ONeal president of the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation, rep
resents agriculture on the Economic
Sterilization Board.
Hits High Prices.
For a year, enemies of the Presi-
dents antiinfation program have
said the way to achieve greater food
production was higher prices
coupled with freezing of wages, Mr..
Patton asserted, obviously, if in
comes are frozen while prices rise,
less food can be bought. But that
means more hungry people not
balancing of genuine demand with
supply. Charging more for less is
not good food policy at any time
in war it is economic sabotage" he
declared
Asserting that it is not too early
to make plans and to organize for
increased food production for 1914
and 1915, the farm chief called on
the VIA to give bold leadership
to farmers. the Congress and the
public generally
He reiterated his support of a
farmers union proposal that the
Government should make war food
production agreements with farmers
on the some terms as have produced
world records in industrial war
production.
Farmers he said, "as part of
the agreement must be furnished
with credit, including advance and
progress payments, assured prices,
crop insurance. technical services
and priorities in machinery, food,
seed and fertilizer"

Norman Thomas Sees
Stain Calling Tune
For Postwar Europe
BY the Associated Press.


Norman Thomas. leader of the
Socialist party, declared yesterday
that Premier Stain of Russia has
shown definitely that he intends to
cali the tune" in Germany and Gen.
trail Europe in the postwar period.
He based his opinion, expressed
at a press conference, on the forma-
ton in Russia of a committee of
German refugees and war prisoners
and its appeal to Germans to revolt
against Hitler. The appeal was
publicized by the Communist party
in Russia.
Without waiting for a peace
table," Mr.. Thomas commended,
stain has shown definitely that he
is not going to permit a British
American army to police Germany
and Central Europe after the war.
He's in position to block it. His
army may reach Berlin first"
But the Socialist leader declared
Stains method of achieving his
objective would not be through the
use of his army, but by an appeal

And. he observed, Stains aim
"may make the training of all the
American gaulieters somewhat sup
erf7uous." He referred. he said, to
the Army's action in training men
to take over civilian posts in occu-
pied countries.
Meanwhile. the Socialist National
Executive Committee called for crea-
tor of a non-partisan commission
for economic demobilizatio to study
postwar utilization of the Govern
ment's estimated S25, 000, 100000 war
plant investment.
Maynard C. Kruger, committee
chairman, declared Jesse Jones,
chairman of the Reconstruction FL
nance Corp, assumes, of course,
that this great investment should be
turned over to private enterprise by
lease or sale. But this is only one.
and probably the worst, of several
alternative programs for the use of
these publicly owned plants"
He said the commission should
study the alternatives of operation
by public corporations, lease or sale
to co-operatives and Government
operation"

1t would be advisable for the guest
not to commit himself, which is difii-
cult when the liquor and wine has
loosened his tongue.
The Germans often discuss:
What sort Of a regime would sue
coed the Third Reich If Hitler were
to be overthrown?" A restorati tion
Of the monarchy has been discussed.
Personally, I do not believe that
would ever come because the mon
archists are unable to agree on the
choice Of one Of their many pre-
tenders.
Monarchists Divided.
Most pretenders In view are from
the Hohenzollern family, such as
Prince Friedrich, youngest son OF the
former crown prince, and from the
Wittelsbach family, such as Crown
Prince Rupprecht or Prince Al
brecht, but Rupprecht is "a years old.
Anyway, as said, the monarchists are
too divided, depending on what part
Of Germany they represent.
Goebbels threatened to deliver the
people to the Bolshevists If their
morale cracks, just to spite the
Western powers. II Hitler loses the
war you will probably discover q lot
Of Communists in Germany.
Another factor not to be neglected
Is the Roman Catholic Church which
has gained much prestige due to its
energetic Anti-Nazi stand and also
because many soldiers facing death
