DISLOYAL PAPERS
 HIT BY SPEAKER
PrO.Axis Press Fostering
 Third World War Says Shea in Bristol

Bristol, May i.-Wiliiam P. Shea, of the Hartford Times speaking at the Community Forum att he As- bury Methodist church Sunday af- ternoon, charged that Axis-influ- enced newspapers in this country were attemptinug to bring about a third World war. The vast major ity of newspapers of the nation are loyal and patriotic. he told the Community and the Press" forum audience. but a few are enbabed in systematic campaign to SOW the seeds of disloyalty.
 One paper, MT. Shea declared was attempting to foment hatred between Russia and the United States; others he charged with try. ing to create violent cleavage among the Allks."
 The meeting was in charge of Judge Joseph P. Dutton. clerk of the City Court who gave a brief history on communications from the early jungle runner to the modern newspaper. He referred to The Courant as the oldest contin- uously published newspaper in America and said he has played a great part in the development of the country and in the develop ment Of communications and news dispensing.
 Mir. Shea pointed out that news paper readers criticize their papers when a name is misspelled or a middle initial is left out, but are lost for a whole day if the paper is not delivered.
 He said some newspapers publish deceptive and degrading propaganda against President Roosevelt Rus sia and Great Britain. He ace eused the New York Daily Mirror of saying editorially that Churchill had dragged the United States lntot he war. but, but said the paper did not mention the spies and sab- otage by Germany in this eoun- try before the United States en- tered the war,
 Some New York and Washington papers, he said. defend Axis propa- ganda and say that the United States has nothing to fear from Germany. The danger of the at. titude Of many papers Of this type he told his audience. Hes in the fact that q great segment of their readers believe them. 'and if this prevails We will have another world var"
 He accused the Hearst papers of being ambitious to get America into a war with Russia.
 People must be educated to see through lies and fabrlcations or we will have another war far more horrible" he asserted.

labor than most other major crops grown in this area. Corn needs rel- atively little labor except during the detasseling season from mid- July to mid-August.
 The development of sturdy hy- brid corn, capable of withstanding many of the vagaries of weather, eliminated some of the farmers risks, but 1t also created e seasonal need for hand labor to detassel the corn and keep the hybrid strain from getting sidetracked.
 Iowa, as the old song testfies, is the great corn state. Last year she planted 10,937,000 acres. The AAA asked for 1l,50O. 900 acres this year and was promised ll,703, 900, which will be the second greatest acreage in the states history of planting is not delayed SO long that the in- tentions cannot be fulfilled.
 NOT ENOUGH SOY BEANS
 In oats the response was even more enthusiastic. Oats can be handled entirely by machinery. So although the AAA asked for only 4,500, 900 acres as compared with B. 069,000 last year, Iowa farmers stepped up their plans to 5,272, 900 acres.
 The AAA also wanted a substan- tial increase in soy beans, which are considered highly desirable for live stock feeding in addition to their use as human food and for plastics The farmers of the midwest have stepped up their acreage somewhat over last year, but will fall far be- hind the governments desires.
 Superficially, then, the grain pros- poets might appear good, with mid western farmers filing intentions, as

of March 1, to plant greatly s1- banded acreages. But the drought last winter and the late cold and rain this spring may throw the en- tire schedule out of line and result in shortages.
 Such shortages would not be folt directly, of course, before next fall and winter. If they do appear they will not be confined to such things as flour, corn meal and cereals, but may have a serious effect upon tho meat situation another winter. NEED HELP NOW
 The first manpower crisis in this area is during the planting season, ordinarily in April but delayed somewhat this year. By recruiting volunteer help in the towns, this can be met, although not handily. Most town help does not know much about farm work. But s'fivesomes," consisting of five men who ride out after business hours in a car, and drive tractors while the farmers do their chores, make it possible to keep mechanical equipment working longer hours.
 Another peak, of short duration, comes when 1t s time to detasseI hybrid corn. The third, and great est, will be in the fall months when farmers must fill their siloS and harvest soy beans and corn almost simultaneously.
 To the extent that they can be ob- tained, prisoners of war may help with the midsummer and autumn crises. But extension service and state officials feel that most of the necessary manpower will have to be found locally. through volunteers ] from the towns.
