Boston, Nov. 1-Warning that America faces "the greatest job- hunt in history" a national dairy leader told New England dairymen today that thriving dairy industry and good times on the farm are vital to postwar prosperity throughout America.
 Harold A. Benson, Chicago, Mem bership Relations Director for the American Dairy association, de- clared before the annual meeting of the New England Milk Producers association in the Bradford hotel that farming must be a keystone of national planning for re-employ- ment of 9 million service men and war workers"
 Farming occupies such key role in Americas economy because it is the nations biggest business and biggest maker of jobs" Benson said.
 Tt is time we recognized agricul- lures importance in this respect" he asserted. For example, everyone comedies the importance of the automotive manufacturing industry in our economy, because 1t is the greatest manufacturing employer in normal times. Yet in 1899, farming employed fully g times as many men and women as automotive manufacturing"
 A study by the American Dairy association, he said, disclosed that over the 1935-39 pre-war period farms directly employed an aver age of 10,917, 900 persons-more than all manufacturing industries, six times the employment of all con- struction, 10 times that of all rail- roads, 12 times that of public utili- ties and IA times that of mining"
 Declaring that the source of all production and of all jobs lies in the nations soil," Benson noted that farm output of food and fibre makes possible the jobs of 2,23OO O00 wage earners in the food, leather and textile manufacturing industries.
 Farm production also underlies the jobs of around 3,5O0,O00 persons in wholesaling and retailing farm products and in the hotel and res- taurant business, he said. As cus- toners, he said, farmers make addi- tional jobs because rural people buy one third of all manufactured prod ucts

WASHINGTON. Aug. II up
Senator Sheridan Downey ID. CAL
ifornia. has rejected as impractical
and undesirable" an interior de-
partment proposal for handling the
160-aCre limitation on the Central
Valley water project in California.
DoWney said four other senators
who studied the problem with him
during the congressional recess
agreed that tie cO-Called Bureau of
Reclamation compromise was un-
workable. He said bureau repre-
Sentatives would be given a further
hearing next week at a meeting
which congressman from the Gen.
trail Valley region Will be invited
to attend.
The bureau proposal would put
an interest charge on water usage
IN excess of the 160-acre nominal
limitation Downey said it would
benefit neither small nor large land
owners in the area.
state law provides that the
water districts shall charge water
users in proportion to the amount
of water received and there shall
be no discrimination between the
man who owns 100 acres and the
man who owns 200 acres he said.

Hollywood Producer Arthur FreeC
took a soap bubble bath on a Sat-
urday night last June. It gave him
a S150JO0 idea M-G-M studio paid
/ for it with the doggonedeSt bubble
bath you've ever seen.
There were millions of bubbles all
lit up with fancy-colored lights.
, Beautiful girls were dancing in and
out of them in waterproof evening
gowns. Fred Astaire was there. too
dancing in waterproof white tie and
tails.
Masses of bubbles drifted lazily
skyward like floating icebergs.
There were sc many bubbles. in
fact, that the studio had to get a
steam engine to heat the water for
them. The bubbles enveloped the
entire sound stage, and M-G-M
sound stages are big.
They mixed up soap and water
for the bubbles Just like the kids
DO. Only in a 10,000-gallon tank.
And blew them out of hundreds Of
small holes from a battery of gal
vanized iron pipes.
Producer Freed. who started 1t all
when he took that Saturday night
bath. surveyed the sCene-the finale
of the "Ziegfeld Follies' - and
chuckled:
wouldn't it be horrible if they
got that soap bubble machine start
ed and then couldn't stop it?'
The thought was frightening. We
could see it in the newSreels al
ready. Soap bubbles pouring out the
M-G-M studio frCnt gate. curling
around HOLLYWOOD mountaintops,
with w. c. Fields dragging canoe
and fighting his way through them
on Vine street.

little worried. We've got ia girls

hour. They could get lost in these

They probably could, too. The
set was built like a mountain top.
With caves at its base. The soap
bubbles poured out the top like lava
from a volcano. They Streamed
down the sides. poured into the
caves and swirled out to within an
! inch of the cameras eye.
Several workmen with diversified

tailed to keep the bubbles on the
set. They went around Swattlng un-

While this heavy cruiser and
