SPLIT OVER INDIA

Nobody will admit it publicly bat, inside the Roosevelt Administra- ton, somewhat the same split is taking place regarding India as occurred regarding the question of heading off war with Japan be- fore Pearl Harbor.
 Long before Pearl Harbor, a group of young men in the State Department urged and implored Secretary of State Hull to cut off exports of oil and scrap iron to Japan They were supported by Secretaries Ickes. Morgenthau Stimson and the late Secretary of the Navy Knox
 Today there is a revolt among some of the same type of men re- garding the fact that the Allied campaign in Burma has begged down, due to the do-nothing atti- tude of the British in India They feel that Ambassador Phillips should have been supported in his fortnight report on India to the President and that the State De- partment made a serious mistake in lowing to the British by with drawing him from London Also they feel that India may be 9 breeder of wars in years to come il it's problems are not ironed out.

If a Congressman wants to get a special Army plane, he comes to May
 So when Mrs. Luce preached the idea of getting a special Army plane to take her to the South Pacific, China and other war theatres, kindly Congressman May replied:-
 T thought you Republicans were against all that. So much hell has been raised about Eleanor going to the South Pacific, I didn't think you'd want to do anything like that How are you going to crack down on Eleanor if you do?"
 Mrs. Luce grinned appreciatively and walked away. Then she turned and waved at Andrew Jackson May. Maybe it dawned on her that he had done her a great favor
 NOTE Actually, Mrs. Roosevelt travelled to New Zealand, not in a special plane. but occupying one seat in a regular transport plane, along with many other passengers. These planes operate to New zea- land every day or oftener Various members of the Cabinet, the Secre- tary of War. Secretary of the Navy, Secretary of the Treasury, and Chairman of the Maritime Commission Land do have special planes, however. and for a while Nese planes remained idle most of the time Admiral Ben Moreell recently took a trip to Chicago with his special plane partly empty.

swords points, the British have an excuse to withhold independence Once the two groups get together British excuses will evaporate.
 Its the old divide and rule game reported Davies.
 The group inside the U. $. Gov ernment which feels keenly about this entire subject decided to say little until the war in Europe was about over. But now they feel the time has about come to concen- trate our entire war energies or Asia.
 They want to get the Asiatlc war over in a hurry, and they point to the fact that certain ob- jectives which the British one yeal ago promised to take, are now months behind schedule. Mean while, U. S. operations in the Gen. tral Pacific are about six months ahead of schedule.
 Finally, this group believes that the all-important goal of winning the peace after the war can only be attained by curing the fostering situation in India, which mighi later cause Russian or Chinese in- tervention As a member of a fu- ture world council, they say, the U. s. A. doesn't want to be called upon to prevent war between Brit ain and Russiai over India.

BRITISH MOTIVES

Davies hinted that the British did not want to go back to Burma until they could take it by them selves. To have Burma retaken through the initiative of the United States and China, he indicated, would not help British politics and prestige.
 He also reported that the British did not want conflicting elements in India to get together to form a united country As long as the Mo hammedans and Hindus are at

Labor Men Urged
For School Boards

New York (WDL). - Hailing
a radio plea by Sol Stetin, New
Jersey Director, Textile Workers
Union of America, for labor repre-
sentation on school boards, Rev.
Aron S. Gilmartin, chairman of
the Workers Defense League, de-
clared: "Labor's rights would be
better protected if unions cam
paigned for representation on
school boards. as proposed by Mr.
Stetin. Many violations of labor's
rights would not occur if young
sters learned in school that they
had the right to join unions, to
bargain collectively, and to strike" ;"
In his speech, Mr.. Stetin quoted
from George S. Counts study,
The Social Composition of the
Board of Education" to show that
only so of the $3.50 school board
members included in the survey
were drawn from labor's ranks.
"Other similar studies" Mr.. Ste
tin declared, revealed that from
1000 to 800 of the membership
of preventative school boards
were drawn from the ranks of
business, banking. and professions
and retired farmers"

Perhaps the largest of these Ne
gro chicken farmers are located
in Delaware. where several pro-
duce from 10000 to 10000 broil-
ers annually. Numerous other
smaller chicken farmers" dot the
area
The aside order is necessary
because heavy black market op-
eratiOns have made it impossible
for the Army Quartermaster TO OBJ
tain the amount of chicken re
quired for the Armed Forces.
For the next few months, at
least, there will be a shortage of
chicken for dinner tables in cities
from Richmond to New York. Ho-
tells, restaurants, cafes also will
feel the shortage and proprietors,
operators and customers are asked
to cooperate so that our soldiers
needs may be met.
Bl tchers and grocers too are
asked to cooperate in advising
their customers that Chicken is

Chicken is not only a nutritious

Especially valuable in hospitals,

ers, fryers. roasters. stewers-a all
types of chicken are included in
