placed for shipment, DIR. Wolfe ex-
planned. He urged that dairymen
who need hay for feeding prior to
May Is place their orders immedi-
ately with any farm supply dealer
or farmer cooperative association.
Since the last of September, when
the shipments started to dairymen,
10000 tons of hay have been ship
ped. This is as much hay as it was
thought dairymen in the drought
sections would need to buy. The
dairymen who have used the Gov
ernment hay have saved about three
million dollars based upon what
they would have had to pay for hay
had there been no Government pro-
gram. Southern States set as one
of the condition under which it
would handle the hay that it be
permitted to return to the govern
ment any savings it might be able
to effect in handling this program
and that it absorb any losses that
might occur. The cost of handling
this hay has averaged only 40 cents
a ton, so DR.. Wolfe estimates that
savings which will be returned to
the Government will total about
s25O,OO0.

Our operative method in regard to

sense, it has to overcome us before it

When the underground tunes in on

that the great need In Europe Is to
maintain order, and firm controls, while
winning. We do not realize, in our
massive official illiteracy on the subject
OF popular movements, that this is an
insult to the underground: that, and
also an expression of distrust.
The underground does not like to hear

Russia Seen Aiming
At Punishment Of Junkers.

To the Editor OF The Star:
II Russia's Pravda, or, in English,
Truth. is living up to its title. it must
have found credible basis for its re-
cent bombshell Cairo article My guess
is that it did, and that the purpose was
to apprise official England of what is
going on behind it's back.

wide private interests, would 60 any
length to preserve the "old order" in
Germany and elsewhere against disrup-
ton by spread of the Russian idealogy.
We have, as example, the "Cartelists"
with their German prime movers under
Junker domination, whose intent is to
divide the world in spheres of CONNER
cial exploitation. The success of that
program would mean the ultimate tri-
umph Of Junkerism, as that medieval
institution in Germany has spread from
landed estates to control of practically
all of her productive activities.
Apparently Russias intent, with the
aid of her German sympathizers, is to
put an end to this "Prussianism" that
has subjected the world to periodic war,
by divesting the Junkers of their landed
estates, state subsidies, tax exemptions
and other privileges, together with all
proceeds of their plundering and
marauding operations, and reducing
them, or what is left of them, to the
common lot of having to work for
living. WALTER N. CAMPBELL.

Senate FIure-up

Senator Taft. Republican, of Ohio
has injected a new and somewhat
bizarre note into the soldier vote
debate by accusing Secretaries Knox
and Stimson of running for a
fourth term"
The Ohio Senator's complaint
grew out of the joint statement by
the War and Navy heads to- the
effect that it would be physically
impossible for them to distribute
State election ballots to American
troops around the world in time to
enable all OF the servicemen to vote
In the November elections. 1t is
worth noting that both Mr.. Knox
and Mr.. Stimson carefully refrained
from taking any position in the con-
stitutional debate which has grown
: up around the Federal vs.. State
ballot issue.
This is point that seems to have
been overlooked by Senator Taft in
his denunciation of his two fellow
Republicans, who are serving in the
Presidents wartime cabinet. It will
not be. overlooked, however, by the
Republican rank and file.
The task which Secretaries Stim-
son and Knox have undertaken is
not an easy one. and they have
discharged their duties we'll. There
is nothing in their record-least of
all their stand on the soldier ballot
question-to justify the complaint
that they are engaging in fourth
term politics, or any other brand of
politics. If this be doubted, the
skeptics might we'll be reminded of
the long and earnest fight that Sec
retary Stimson has made for a ma
tlonal service lava continuing ef-
fort on his part which certainly does
not add up to fourth-term politics.
1t is unfortunate that these men.
whose service to the Republican
party runs back for many years,
should now be accused, in effect, of
betraying their party. Apparently.
however, Senator Taft's charge grew
out OF heated debate. Few Repub-
hcans, given opportunity for re-
nection, would want to indorse II.

For this purpose the United States,
which has the largest national income
Of the world, probably will be assessed
an amount equal to / per cent OF its

1t Is inmaterial whether or not the
1943 figure represents the real income
Of the United States or Is an inflated
amount due to war conditions. It is
argued in some quarters that American
industry will remain very busy long
after the war, since 1t will be forced
to produce for the whole civilized world
everything from hairpins to machine
tools and planes
But what appears important to many

Distinguishes Between
Congress and Bradbury Heights.
To the Edito

AZ Lne EQitOE Oh Inc StAI.
1t appears that some clarification is
necessary in connection with articles
appearing in The Star regarding the
zoning and housing problem In Brad
bury Heights.
Attention is invited to the article
MRS. Roosevelt Tours Housing Areas
Once Available to Colored," published
on January 81 under the name Of
Marion Wade Doyle 1t was stated
therein that the Congress Heights
Bradbury Heights area was inspected"
and that this area filed petitions 'for
partial rezoning of the area"
Congress Heights and Bradbury
Heights are not a combined area nor
adjacent to each other. They are in
dividual areas and miles apart. The
petition filed by Bradbury Heights re-
quested rezoning Of the entire Bradbury
Heights area composed Of approximately
2S0 acres, OF which one-third is unde-
veloped The developed portion is COM
posed Of detached, single-family dwell
ings. The 900 units of low-cost housing
is planned in a 25-acre tract located
in approximately the center of the un-
developed area.
Since The Star is noted for its accu-
racy in publishing articles, it is requested
that The Star reporters take cognizance
of the above facts and exercise more care
in statements covering the zoning and
housing problem In Bradbury Heights.
