Scores of truck drivers, reportedly

ton Of Virginia, threatening the
Washington supply for the Thanks
giving trade, it was learned today
The black market operations. ac-
cording to an informed source ir
the poultry industry here, center
around Culpeper, Madison and Rap
pahannock - important turkey-pro-
ducing areas.
Wholesalers in the areas appar-
emily are powerless to halt the
drain to illegal channels as the op-
orators offer producers prices above
the maximum set by the Office OF
Price Administration.
A Washington dealer said he made
five long distance telephone calls
this morning to producers and han.
dlers in Virginia, but all told the
same story of no supplies because OF
black market transactions.
The reports led to speculation or
whether the OPA would be forced
to halt trucks in an action simila,
to that of last July in Delaware
When the black market in chickens
was at its height Many trucks
halted near Dover by State police
were found to be carrying poultry
purchased at above ceiling prices
and their cargoes were seized.
An OPA spokesman said such 9
move could be made in this case. but
that 1t would have to be done h,
State police.
Meanwhile, an official of thf
District OPA admitted that ''ther.

Meeting Is Called
Tonight 10 Discuss
Selection Of Bishop
Committee Members
Will Study information
On -Four Candidates

An informal meeting of lay and
clerical members of the Washington
Diocese Nominating Committee will
be held at the parish house Of
st. Margaret's Church, Connecticut
avenue and Bancroft place NV, at
8 o'clock tonight, to consider again
names Of possible candidates to sue
ceed Right Rev. James E. Freeman
as Bishop of washington.
A spokesman for the committee
indicated the meeting was arranged
in order to give all members IAN
opportunity to discuss information
acquired by their colleagues con-
cerning candidates already placed
in nomination by the committee and
others.
The Rev. Peyton r. Williams, rec
tor of Christ Church, Georgetown
and secretary of the committee, ex-
planned that the additional session
was almost spontaneous" in
motivation.
Some of the members" he said
expressed a desire to have the
benefit of the study made by other
members"
Two subcommittee Were Named.
Two subcommittee, according to
Mr.. Williams, were appointed at the
start of the committees work to
consider potential nominees. One
headed by Henry P. Blair, studied
out-of-town clergy; the other
headed by the Rev. Armand Eyler
rector of st. Margaret's, concen-
trated on local ministers.
1t was a matter of comment In
the diocese last week that the COM
mittee's formal report, released
Thursday, did not mention any
diocesan clergy among its final pref
erences. The men placed in nomi-
nation are the Very Rev. Angus
Dun. Cambridge, Mass; DR.. Donald
Bradshaw Aldrich, New York; DR.
Dudley Scott Stark, Chicago, and
Very Rev. Sidney Edward Sweet
St. Louis.
Dean Dun and DR.. Aldrich are
known in the diocese, especially be-
cause of conferences they have
sponsored at Washington Cathedral,
and DR.. Stark and Dean Sweet also
have been occasional visitors here;
but the fact that no local clergy were
put forward as alternate choices ad-
mittedly aroused discussion through
out the diocese
Meeting Closed to Public.
A layman who requested that his
name be withheld said today: THE
committee probably did not think 1t
necessary to say very much about
the local clergy because they are so
we'll known. If it had put few
words into the report to that effect,
it would have prevented misunder-
standing"
Mr. Williams stressed the privi-
lege of members of the diocesan con-
vention, called to meet November %,
to place any number of candidates
in nomination.
Tonight's meeting, closed to the
public, may consider informally new
local names or even new names of
out-of-town clergy, Mr.. Williams
said.

their net after taxes decreased 92D0 O0O,-
600. Taxes constitute O major weapon
In the drafting Of wealth. But they do
not carry the entire burden. Arthur
Krock Of the New York Times, summarize.
ing an off-the-record talk by Herbert
Bayard Swope, special sconsultant TO the
Secretary Of War, enumerates Is controls
which government exercises over wealth.
The government can force manufac.
turers to make what Il wants; can seize
their plants; can fix prices and then re-
negotiate to reduce them further; can
absorb excess profits by taxation; can fix
every element entering into labor costs;
can give, withhold and otherwise con-
troll materials, transportation facilities,
manpower, and to some extent capital.
There Is no complaint about this conscrip-
ton Of capital, as war measure. It Is
taken for granted, as Is the drafting Of
men 10 do the actual fighting. Every
body and everything Is conscrlpted, In
modern war, except labor. Can that
escape permanently?
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-03-31

Mueh opposition TO q manpower draft
arises from the nlisconception that there
Is no draft on wealth, and therefore there
should be none on labor. The 1912 earn
fngs reports Of leading corporations, now
available, show that wealth definitely has
been drafted, and help to measure the
effectiveness Of that draft. The Maya
zine Of Wall Street has analysed state
Enents Of ITO manufacturing concerns.
These show that dollar volume OF gross
business has risen II per cent above the
1D26-20 pre-depression peak. But on that
vastly expanded volume, those corpora
eions last year earned AZ per cent smaller
net profits after taxes. That Is to say,
wealth invested In manufacturing has to
produce more than three times as much,
e earn dollar Of net profit, as 1t did In

Inc Declaration Of independence was
never 20 much In the limelight as at the
present time. We are particularly aware
q this heritage, which comes to us from
Thomas Jefferson, as we see other coun-
lEies stripped of their rights and forced
20 accept unwelcome rule or left hanging
IN the cir, as 1t were, until another day
when they viii have to make out as best
khey can.
April win be devoted and dedicated to
Thomas Jefferson, author of our Declar-
alton Of independence. The ideas of
Jefferson and his early achievements for
this country are and will be forever
aauded. Thomas jefferson perhaps had
his shortcomings like everyone else but
there Is q universally of opinion about
che standards he outlined in the Declara-
ton aided and abetted by many other
valiant men of that day.
Thomas Jefferson was born April Is,
2T4S. This date in April of 1943 marks
The 200th anniversary of that event. So
q In fitting that jefferson, the Declara-
ZION OF independence, and the subsequent
Bill Of rights, of which he was a more or
less spiritual father, should be publicized.
Nationally the month Will be devoted TO
hhig observance, and particular COM
munities will likewise devote some
ah0ught and time to encouraging fur
kher interest In the study of what is
expressed in the Declaration. April Is
Mill be the significant day of the month.
"A statement from the Bill of Rights
8esqui-C Centennial committee says, "au-
Thor Of the Declaration Of Independence
md spiritual father Of the Bill of Rights,
|1efSerson was the architect Of American
aihegty. His words and deeds shine
nEighter with each passing year.
To-day more than ever before, Jeffer-
ia lives In the hearts Of the American
people For he held that all men are
created equal, that they possess certain
analienable rights, and that governments
derive their Just powers from the con-
sent Of the governed. These truths and
The nation founded upon them are now
challenged by the hosts Of tyranny. And
10 defend them, our countrymen have
taken up the sword Of freedom"
For these reasons it is indicated that
NE give more than a passing thought to
The day, April Is, and the month of April,
1913, as reminders of the necessity of
fostering and holding that freedom so
Inscribed In the Declaration and the Bill
~ Rights.

Profitable Salvage

Providence, Rhode Island, is finding
that human salvage pays financial divt-
dends. An experiment In making sun
employables" self-supporting returned 81
for every dollar 1t cost, and has been
placed on a permanent basis.
Each "unemployable" is given individ-
ual potentiality tests, followed by train
ing for the type Of work for which he
shows aptitude. Then a Job is found for
him through the U. s. Employment
Service.
Such work has q social value which
cannot be measured in dollars and cents.
It has war value, in helping to satisfy
the national need for manpower. And
for $500 spent in an experimental month,
$2,720 was saved that otherwise would
have been paid to persons for whom jobs
were found during that month.
