GOOD SPOTTING

DOOD SfOl llNO
One evening in mid-Oct0ber, IT
now is permissible to report, a
Junkers 88 bomber that had SPAN
ned the Atlantic ocean flew across
the easted United States and land
I'd at Wright Field, Dayton.
The bomber was one which a
Young German pilot, who decided
the war had gone far enough SO far
as he was concerned, delivered to
an Allied airfield in the Mediter-
ranean. 1t was brought to this
country for study by our experts.
But spoilers along the route did not
know that. To them it was a Nazi
bomber. Frantic reports came into
control centerS. Three of them cor
rectly identified the plane as q
JU-88.
Such alert, intelligent spotting is
encouraging. So is the fact that
here were numerous occasions when
the Junkers would have been shot
down if its American crew had not
identified themselves thoroughly
The whole story of the bomber's
flight would contain small comfort
for any Nazi idea Of sneaking planes
over here.

Questionnaires Force
Landlords 10 File With 0PA

Scores of landlords in nearby
Montgomery County who had failed
TO register their housing accommo-
dations with the OPA rent control
office in Silver Spring have been
forced to do so as a result of the
distribution by Area Rent Director
James w. Woogerd of hundreds of
rent missionaries to service men
and women stationed at the Naval
Hospital in Bethesda.
These late registrations, Mr..
Woogerd said. have caused many
landlords to refund to their tenants
the difference between their rentals
and those fixed by his office In one
case, he added, refund of Sl,400 is
scheduled to be paid.
Under OPA regulations, Mr.
Woogerd explained, any landlord
failing to register at his office within
30 days after renting housing ac-
commodations must refund the diff
ference between the 1.-TWO rentals
back to November l, or to the date
on which the accommodations were
rented, whichever is the more re-
cent.
This penalty does not apply, how
ever. to those who rented housing
accommodate before July l. 1912
when the Rent Control Act became
effective.
In addition, Mr.. Woogerd pointed
out, those failing to register are
subject to a $1,000 fine or one year

Rains Needed Within Week

Milk Production Already Cut IS Per Cent;
Lobor Shortage Adds to Farmers Woes

Maryland and Virginia farmers
today were watching the skies for .
sign of the rains that must come
within q week II heavy crop dam
age is to be averted.
On both sides Of the Potomac,
drying pastures have cut milk pro-
duction Is per cent, corn already Is
damaged and may be a complete
loss unless rains come within the
next week. and truck crops have
been damaged an estimated 40 per
cent by the 18-day drought.
In Southern Maryland. where to-
bacco is the principal pay crop"
plants are scorching in the fields
and a second years inferior crop
Is anticipated unless rain comes.
Labor Supply Also Short.
In Fairfax County, Va. and in
Montgomery County, Md. farmers
now harvesting the largest wheat
crop in many years, are faced with
an additional threat-the labor
shortage. In these two counties
farmers fear that unless labor is
supplied, much of the bumper wheat
crop may be lost. Their appeals
for Nazi war prisoners to aid in the
harvest have been turned down by
the Military District Of Washington
under a policy that bans use of war
prisoners in the District area.
Fairfax and Montgomery county
dairymen estimate that milk pro-
duction already has been cut Is per
cent and predict this figure will in
crease If the drought continues.
In addition, they point out, dairy
men are being forced to feed this
years f1rst hay cutting. thus reduc-
ing their winter feed supply. Far
mers say this may produce q situa-
ton similar to last year when the
Government had to subsidize hay
shipments from areas with surpluses.
Corn Hurt Considerably"
Wallace Carper. Fairfax County
dairyman and chairman of the
county Board of Supervisors. said he
has had to begin feeding this years
hay to his 60 milking cows. He said
about 40 acres of corn have been
hurt considerably" and will be COM
pletely lost in another week Of dry
weather.
Rain within q week, he said, would
bring on the corn, would revive the
pasture lands and would enable
farmers to get third cutting of
