Looking ahead TO the rapid
spread of air transportation after
the war, aviation engineers in
Detroit today urged railroads TO
work toward closer cooperation
with aircraft lines as a supple

STIMSON SILENT

Secretary of War Stimson re-
fused 10 comment yesterday or
reports that Gen. Marshall would
be shifted from his post 10 that
of n "global command over al
Anglo-American forces.
Shafer stated:
IL have in my possession a
blueprint of a plan which would
presumably streamline the war
department, but in reality Its
intent is 10 convert that great
department into a New Deal
political organization. In my
opinion the activities of the men
behind this plan are nothing less
than tTeasOnous.
Congress cannot and should
not attempt TO interfere with
the proposal 10 make Gen.
Marshall the global chief Of
staff. Such a move should not be
criticized until II IL shown at
least that he il not 10 have full
authority In that position. l
prefer 10 think his promotion Is
fine recognition of his ability.
Up TO CONGRESS
Congress, however, Is In
position TO prevent the con-
version of the war department
into a New Deal political WA.
IL Is in a position to prevent
the appointment Of a political
general TO succeed Gen. Mar
shall as chief Of staff and thus
thwart the carefully laid plans
OF the administrations fourth
term strategists."
Stimsons silence left to the
White House the answer to the
question which has been a princi-
pal topic of conversation in Wash
ington for the past week.
StimSon was asked
"Niu Gen. Macarthur be
called home In the near future
for n conference In Washing
ton?
~ don't believe So" replied
SllillSOO, ueH. NhCATtnuf ~
very busy now and l doubt II
he should want TO leave there TO

Stimson said he never has
heard suggested that MacArthur's
command would be overlapped by
that Of Lord Mountbatten, Allied
commander in South Asia.

AAA Plans to Boost
Production, Save Soil
Federal Payments for
Conservation Continued

To help prevent disastrous soil
depletion through using up of all the
stored-up fertility for one tremen-
dous harvest, fund of 300 million
dollars has been made available by
congress to assist farmers in carry
ing out growing practices that win
not only increase production imme-
diately, but will also keep the land
In condition for another high-level
crop in succeeding years. Direct
payments from the Agricultural Ad-
justment agency will be provided in
some cases, while in others needed
materials will be supplied, such as
lime, phosphate and seeds.
Because of the variation in prac-
tees adaptable to the different grow
ing regions, state and federal agen-
cies will cooperate in working out
an approved list for each state. The
rate of payment will be determined
by taking into consideration topog-
raphy, soil, climate, conservation
needs in the specific area, and the
Importance of each practice to pro-
duction. Farmers will receive pay
ments, as in the past, in proportion
to how well they follow the prac-
tees for their farms.
Increases in yields per acre Of
crops in all parts of the country
during recent years have been par
ticularly marked in those sections
where materials have. been general
ly distributed. For example, be-
fore the Triple-A soil improvement
program began, the corn yield av-
eraged 23.5 bushels. In the last three
years the average corn yield for the
United States was 31.5 bushels.
Wheat yields went UP As bushels
and the hay harvest was upped from
a ton and a quarter to ton and
half, while potatoes increased from
1903 to 1873 bushels and cotton from

1911 to 253 pounds to the acre in the
same period.
The 1914 practice program has a
five-way emphasis: (1) expansion of
agricultural use of lime, phosphate
and other fertilizers; (2) promotion
of legume, hay and grass seed har-
vest; 81 erosion control and water
conservation measures; (4) range
and pasture practices; and (5) sup
plementing of existing distribution
channels, as well as adjustment Of
manufacture and delivery of lime
and phosphate to keep movement on
a more equal basis and do away
with slack periods.
Approximately 100 million dollars
will have been earned by farmers
for soil-building and range practices
under the 1943 program, according
to preliminary estimates. This is an
increase of IL million dollars over
1912, of So million dollars over 1941
and of rs million dollars over 1910,
or a raise of IS per cent in three
years.

its hinges and laid fiat on boxes or
sawhorses at convenient height for
working. When the door is laid fiat
the paint will flow evenly.
Storing Furniture
Question: I want to store my
kitchen, living and bedroom furni-
ture. Would it be all right to store
it in an unheated upstairs room?
Do you think the coldness would
ruin the finish or warp the furni-
ture? And what effect would the
cold have on the mirror of vanity?
Answer: Low temperatures will
not harm the furniture, but you
should take every precaution against
dampness. Before storing the furni-
ture clean and polish it, and then
cover with a heavy kraft paper to
keep dust off the surfaces. The re-
frigerator should be cleaned and put
away with the door partly open.
Cover the bare metal parts Of the
stove with a light oil to prevent
rusting. If the mirror is of good
quality it will stand up under all con-
ditions.
Insulated Hot-Air Ducts
Question: The warm-air ducts
from our furnace are covered with
the usual sheet asbestos. Dust clings
to this surface and is very hard to
remove. Can this covering be paint
ed, to give hard surface that can
be cleaned easily?
Answer: Asbestos insulating ma
terials are very porous and, be-
cause of this, are difficult to paint.
The following method will be fairly
successful: After brushing off the
dust, apply a thin coat of shellac
(if you can get it,, thinned half
and-half with denatured alcohol.
When dry, finish with a coat of
brushing lacquer. If lacquer cannot
be obtained, apply a coat Of fiat
paint followed by a coat of quick
drying enamel.
Spots on Linoleum
Question: How can remove spots
from my linoleum floor? Neither
soap nor kitchen cleaners have any
effect upon them. They seem to
form under chair and table legs.
The linoleum has been waxed.
Answer: Try rubbing gently with
turpentine and very fine steel wool.
Then, when spots have been re-
moved, touch up with a little paste
wax, allow to dry hard and then
polish.
Touch-Up ON Chairs
Question: My black enameled
chairs are Clipped of in few spots
to the bare wood, and also are
slightly smeared with white paint.
How can ! touch up these places
without damaging the undercoating?
Answer: Rub the Clipped spots
with fine steel wool; wipe with BEN
zine, being careful of fire, and then
touch up with matching enamel,
building up the Clipped area to the
surrounding level. Then wipe with
turpentine. If the finish is dulled rub
with q little paste wax.

Agricultural Notes

The domestic wheat supply for the
1884 marketing year is now indi-
Gated at about / 400 million bushels,
which is 213 million bushels below
the record supply in 1942-43.
Small quantities of hydrated lime
will effectively deodorize and dis
infect poultry manure.
Extremely large draft horses seem
to have had their day. Draft mares
1914 hands high and weighing 1000
pounds are as large as the industry
requires. A satisfactory stallion
measures II hands and weighs 1000
to 1900 pounds. Their offspring can
be raised largely on roughage and
still be big enough to fit the farmers
demands and to reach 16 hands and
1000 pounds, the popular size for
most horse markets.

HANGING MIRROR

Question: How can make a neat
job Of putting nails or hooks in a
plastered wall, SO that can hang a
couple of mirrors?
Answer: Nails should not be driv-
en- into plastered walls. To hang
your mirrors, holes should be drilled
into the plaster, wall plugs or an
chors inserted and screws used. A
hardware store can supply you with
these articles. II the mirrors are not
too large and heavy you can use a
sharply pointed nail, especially
made for this purpose, which has a
hook attached. These can be had
in large or small sizes from a hard
ware dealer. If the mirrors are
very heavy, 1t might be better to
hang them from the picture mold
ing (if there Is one), using picture
wire or cord. (The wire may be
hard to get.)
Here is the way one of our read
ers runs screw into a plaster wall:
mark the position and drill hole
about the size of the screw. Wood
putty is then packed into the hole,
and after hardening overnight the
screw is run into it. This method
has held a great deal of weight
around my house without any fail
ures. When you move the screws
can be taken out, leaving the wall
in a neat condition"
