triumphantly toured throughout
South America in concert engage

ON WHO TONIGHT

'Porgy and Bess," George Gersh-
wins monumental folk opera, will
be presented on WHO, on the
''This Is My Best" program over
CHS at $50 tonight.
It stars William Franklin, Eta
Moten and Avon Long, members
Of the "Porgy and Bess" company
now on a nationwide tour.
In selecting the opera for broad
casting, This Is My Best" follows
it's policy of presenting the great
est works of Americas finest writ
ers and composers. The program
also pays tribute to Gershwin and
the late DuBose Hayward, from
whose novel and play the idea for
the folk opera was taken.
William Franklin, who sings the
role of the unfortunate Porgy, be-
gan his career in the church choir
of his birthplace, Shaw, Miss. Fol-
lowing a study course at the Chi
cago Conservatory of Music, he
joined the orchestras of Earl "Fa-
ther" Hines and Eddie Coles, where
he doubled as trombonist and
vocalist.
In 1887, Mr.. Franklin became the
first Negro artist to sing a leading
role in opera, when he was heard
as Amonasro in the Chicago Civic
Opera Company's production of
Aida. Since then, he has been asso-
ciated with the Chicago Symphony
and the WGN Symphony Orches-
tras.

Gershwin's desire to have her Gre

Miss Moten in the role for the first
time.

THE GOVERNMENT PAYROLL

There is no valid reason why this
nation should wait for good govern
ment in Washington until after the
Presidential election or until after
the war is won. We need it now to
shorten the winning of the war
war. We need it now to save Amerl-
can lives. We need it now to aid in
conserving our resources for the diff
cult postwar period ahead for all of
JUS.
The above was one of the basic
questions of the day discussed by
Eugene w. Castle, president o I
Castle films, before the famous Poor
Richard Club of Philadelphia. In re-
ferring to the lethargy of too many
Americans to do anything about OBJ
vious abuses in Federal government,
he stated some important facts, and
commented very frankly.
1.-THE present Federal payroll is a
good place to start" observed Mr..
Castle.
In World War I, Woodrow Wilson's
administration had a total of nine
hundred and seventeen thousand
Federal employees. but in World War
II, the present administration en-
ploys more than three million two
hundred thousand people.

FRANK DISCUSSION NEEDED

Until very recently, majority OF
people gave little heed to publ,
spending. Everybody from chamber.
Of commerce to soap box orators de
voted large share of their time fig
uring out how to get bigger cut il
Federal handouts. The trend fol
years has been toward bigger anG
and more and more debt. AS wal
doomed on the horizon, prosperity
spread through the land on wings oil
borrowed money.
Today the lid is off with hundred
billion-dollar budgets and 50-billion
dollar deficits. The country has Dor
rowed it's way into an unprecedented
war boom. AS result, taxes are now
making people realize that the gov
eminent must collect money as well
as spend it, and that it must elm
mate peacetime prodigality, the same
as an individual.
Politicians, Republicans and Dem
ocrats alike, have SHE'D away from q
frank discussion of the nations fl
naneial problem, either because the
pay envelope of every wage Garner
is involved or because they honestly
don't know the answers. That is in
excusable when the solvency of the
country and the savings of every in
dividual Is at stake.
1t is futile to claim that we have
done our tax" best to meet the cost
of the war, We have not. If we had
we would not now be riding the crest
of individual prosperity.

FEEDING PEOPLE TOUGH JOB

A food authority recently made
the observation that. THE farmer.
of America are winning the battle OF
production on the home front, and
the nations consumers may reason
ably expect that the 1914 food SUP
ply will equal or exceed the near rec
ord total of 1943." But food Tin the
raw on the farm is not food on the
table ready to eat.
Food is usually produced many
miles from the point Of consumption
No matter how much is produced, j.
Is of no benefit to consumers until ii
is distributed. The food distribution
industry has been operating 80 effic-
iently during the emergency that few
people recognize the vital link which
it provides between the producer AND
the consumer. Nor is there outward
indication of the struggle of faoo
distributors to keep retail channels
functioning smoothly in the face Of a
dismaying manpower shortage anG
other operating problems.
No one knows better than the re
taller the difficulties Of moving food
from the farm to THE table under
wartime conditions.

MARYLAND UNIT OF NATIONAL
WAR FUND

For the second successive year,
Stewart J. Cort, general manager of
the Bethlehem Steel Company, Spar
rows Point plant, will head the Mary
land unit of the National War Fund.
For nearly two decades Mr. Cort
has been active in civic and philan-
thropic affairs in Baltimore and
throughout the entire State. He Is
president of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association, a Community Fund
agency, and a member of the Fund s
executive committee. He is widely
experienced in campaigning, having
served as chairman of the appeal of
the YWCA at the time when that or
ganization sought the funds which
permitted its inclusion in the Com
munity Fund.
The National War Fund was or
ganized early in 1943 when Presi-
dent Roosevelt's War Relief Control
Board recommended it's formal ion
for the purpose of combining the
money-raising efforts of the many ma
tional organizations concerned with
foreign war relief and services fol
men in the armed forces of the ma
ton.
The Maryland unit was formed last
Spring under the Craftsmanship of
Mr. Cort, with $2,1OS,00O as its goal.
This amount was fully subscribed.
In accepting the Craftsmanship OF
the National War Fund in Maryland,
Mr. Cort said Americans every
where have again demonstrated that
they are willing to sacrifice in help
ing to win the war. This was particu-
larly evidenced in Maryland by the
promlpt and hearty response to the
appeal of the National War Fund.
Some IS million Americans have al
the National War Fund to be used in
war-related services-an expression
of our. concern for our own and fol
our Allies.
THE funds so contributed are now
being sent by II member agencies OF
the National War Fund in urgently
needed services. These funds are pro-
viding for the off -duty needs of Qua
own fighting forces through USO for
comforts and care of our merchant
sea1nen through United Seamen's
Service; assistance for prisoners OF
war. through War Prisoners Aid, and
physical relief for those of our AL
lies who have suffered at the hands
of the Axis invaders.

will get under way, Mr.. Cort said,

ASKS FOR RELEASE OF GRAIN

Senator Tydings has asked the
Commodity Credit Corporation, Mar
vim Jones, war food administrator,
and Leo Crowley, lend-lease admin
istrator, to consider releasing grain
stored at Baltimore to relieve an
acute shortage reported by feed deal
ers, dairy men and others in the
State, and use the corn and other
grain now being imported from Ar
gentina, for the lend-lease purposes.
''It has been brought to my atten-
zion that over 500, 100000 bushels
of corn, over S00,000,000 bunshels
Of soybeans and over 100000 bu-
shells of wheat are now stored in Bal
limore," Senator Tydings said.
mot only is the shortage of feed
i vital question, but the problem OF
storage is one that is becoming SER
ious."
He added that the Baltimore
Chamber of Commerce is concerned
because new grain will be coming
along shortly and there will not be
sufficient storage space in the grain
elevators.
He said feed dealers questioned
the policy of holding large quaint
ty of grain on the Eastern seaboard
for lend-lease when at the same time
grain is being brought from Argen-
tina to take care of the shortage here.
1.-THE question they present." he
said, sis why this grain or at least
a portion of it could not be distri-
buted here where the need of it is
so great; and the corn from Argen-
tina utilized for shipment under lend
lease commitments"
