Mr.. Anderson pointed out that
some prisoners had to be trans
ported so miles to farms across the
county from Fort Meade and could
only be counted on for about six
and half hours of work a day.
The county agent said the last
bus would have to be relinquisheo
by December Is, but added that the
corn harvesting was nearly over sc
that the problem really would moi
arise again until early spring.
While inexperienced, prisoners OF
war have been adequate workmen
he said, and there had been no at
tempts at sabotage or escape. Fol
that reason, he added, farmers hope
the camp idea will be considered.
Visualize Camp for zoo.
Farm officials visualize a camp fol-
about 200 prisonerssof war. While
the first harvest is due early in
June, Mr.. Anderson said the farmers
could begin using 200 prisoners about
May /. Transportation problems
would be solved because the farmers
could pick up their own workmen
from the camp. Mr.. Anderson said.
I'VE have been asked to increase
production as much as per cent on
some crops" the county agent said
but I don't know If it can be done
unless we get the labor to do it"
Both county and State farm ON
cials agreed the farm labor picture
will be tighter in the coming year
than at any time since the war. Va
cationists and others who volun-
teered previously to help with crop
harvesting no longer are responding
to these patriotic appeals, the farm
oficials asserted.
Meanwhile. veterans who are
trickling back into industry to re-
place drafted men are not going
back to the farms, another farm off,
cial said, because they have learned
how to do something else in the
service which will pay them higher
wages.

Open Constitutional
Convention Urged
ByArIing'on Official
Green Asks Removal
Of Poll Tx and More
Elected OfficiuIs

Declaring that mot much longer
can a mere handful of Bourbons
hold the destiny of almost three
million Virginians without an &C.
counting" John Locke Green. Ar.
lington County treasurer, in a radir
address from Harrisonburg, Va.
yesterday urged a free and oper
constitutional convention in Vir-
ginia."
The Byrd machine" he said
cannot afford to have the cry &C
up that it has failed the soldiers
while they are fighting for democ-
racy on foreign soil, their right tc
vote"
"A tremendous number of peo-
pie" he said, ARE clamoring for q
new constitution. Thousands want
the poll tax permanently removed;
more thousands want all officials
both State and local, elected instead
Of appointed"
Describing the poll tax as "dia.
bolical legislation" designed to
bring about the disfranchisement
of hundreds of thousands of Vir-
ginians, Mr.. Green charged that
this was the desired goal of the
1902 constitutional convention.
The 1902 convention. Mr.. Green
said, gave Virginia a new constitu-
ton, but a bad bargain of prom
ises."
Throughout the AZ years since that
convention, he continued, the
present political heirs to that fraud
upon the people have successfully
resisted all onslaughts by the people
to eradicate the poll tax and return
the government of Virginia to the
people"
Mr.. Green asserted that I'VE all
know that the Byrd machine is in a
serious predicament as result of
the decision of the Supreme Court
of Appeals holding unconstitu-
tional the 1914 War Voters Act.
! ITO extricate themselves from this
nightmare, an instructed convention
is talked about. An agreement is
talked about; an agreement only
is sought to take up nothing but
giving the soldier the right to vote
without paying the poll tax for the
duration of the war. -
Once more, let's have a free and
open convention with all questions
freely debated and bring forth a
peoples constitution

The Rev. Mr.. Powell also attacked

EDITORIAL
Public Apothy

Venereal disease could be stamped out in
this country in years time if it could be
brought into the open and the public's apathy
toward the campaign against it could be
shaken Major General Richard Donovan, 9th
Service Command, told members of the Dali
las Texas, Junior Chamber of Commerce re
Gently.
General Donovan told the group of the eff
fects of the Army venereal disease campaign,
which has brought great reduction in the
rate of incidence since the war began. He
told of surprise inspections to which both men
and women in Army service are periodically
given and the hospitalization received by those
showing any venereal disease symptoms.
Our people don't get venereal diseases in
the barracks" he said, and if the same open
treatment of the subject could be given civil
ians we could have it under control in an
amazingly short time.
A venereally infected soldier is a casualty
field, he said. His own time is lost; he takes
up the time of nurses and doctors needed for
others and wastes hospital space.
The high incidence of the disease is attrib-
uted to amateurs rather than to professional
prostitutes.
A generous estimate would not credit the
commercial prostitute with more than 5 per
cent of the total number Of infections, it was
pointed out.
Education of the public, legislation and
diagnosis and treatment of the actual diseases
are the only methods by which the scourge
can be brought under control.

Attention Officers and NCOs

ARE YOU A LEADER? OR ARE YOU

what this soldier thinks of leadership:
Upon reading Circular No. 63, | decided
immediately to send in my suggestion. ~
| have been in the Army for about twenty
months And during that time | have seen a
lot of officers and non-commissioned officers.
However very few have seen who have the
paramount qualities of leadership. Sir, there is
a difference in being brilliant and capable and
in being a leader; and the difference has lot
to do with the mems morale. A real leader
does not have to be brilliant to handle men
successfully. Nor doessbeing smart mean that
a man can handle other men successfully
Therefore say there should be a school to
find and bring out the leadership qualities in
officers and non-commissioned officers; and
that they should be picked accordingly.

Comfort in RELIGION

That the war is breeding more devout
faith among American soldiers is being evil
denced agan and again, attested by such
simple sincere manifestations as that reported
recently by Chaplain Ferdinand Evans (Cap-
tain) of Cincinnati, Ohio, to the War Depart
ment.
The battle for Munda Airfield on New
Guinea Island over, and the men were
being rewarded with a much needed bath in
the There had been little time for
such niceties in the l6-day period of fighting.
The Catholic chaplain was approached by
of the bearded, grimy soldiers. Chap
lain, he said Il never gave much thought TO
religion in my life, but during the battle,
sure did powerful lot of praying.
We all did lot of praying, the chaplain
replied.
Well, Is changed man.. the soldier ad-
mitted There's lot of water right here

and family problems, and questions of an in
terracial and international nature. When the
problems involved military in nature, the
staff is prepared to guide the soldier to the

problems of service men deal with everything
from personal and family difficulties to mat
