Farm Youth Tests Right
10 Avoid Armed Service

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, April
6 Up If a l9-year-old farm
youth expects the Tydings
Amendment to the Selective
Service Act to keep him on his
Van Buren, County farm, he will
have TO wait until after he is
indicted before getting the an
sWer.
In what was described as the
first Michigan test case of its
type since deferments for most
draft -age= farmers elimi-
mated, Federal Judge Fred M.
Raymond yesterday denied a Pc
tition for a writ of habeas cor
pus for Walter l. Chase, who
sought to restrain his Paw Paw
draft board from inducing him
into the armed forces.
Chase, who was to have been
indicted March %, claimed ex-
emption I'm d er the Tydings
Amendment, but Judge Raymond
ruled that the court has no juris-
diction until after actual in
duction. The amendment pro-
vides deferments- for certain
draft-age farmers who meet spe-
cific production standards. Chase
contended he was needed to as
sist his father in the operation
of a 160-acre farm.

Crude Footwear Deforminq
Feet of Refugee Children

The crude shoes which child

wear are reforming the feet and
subjecting the wearers to per-

children have clothing sufficient
to Withstand the rigors of the
northern climate. Enforced alb

children of Holland has reached
alarming proportions.
These are facts reported back
to this country by representa-
tives of the United Nations Re-

coming worse in respect to cloth

on the American people to help
out.
AS a result, the United Nation

StdtlOn. ne SEED HAT lued Is Olu,
but the method of subirrigation,
which promotes more even
termination and small loss of
seedlings, is new TO most of us.
On the bottom of the seed flat
is placed a sheet of waterproof
paper. Over this is spread a
one-inch layer of gravel. The
key TO the water supply, a three
inch flower pot, is then placed
on the gravel in the center of the
flat. Fill the flat with a mix
ture of equal parts of soil and
sand, and pack this around the
pot and edges of the seed flat.
Firm and level the soil, sow seed
in drills and lightly cover. APP
ply water in the flower pot I'M
til the soil surface becomes
moist Excess moisture will
drain into the layer of gravel.
Water whenever surface of soil
shows signs of dryneSs.
A glass or other covering is
not recommended with this
method of seeding.
To prevent damping-off dis
ease, worst enemy of seedlings,
add one teaspoonful of formalde-
hyde to one gallon of water, and
use this dilute disinfectant for
the initial watering at time of
seeding. This will result in bet
ter plants, and better germina-
ton.
BY this method of growing
seedlings, the young plants can
also be fed by dissolving plant
food in water and applying in
the flower pot in the center of
the flat. Use one level tea
spoonful of a complete balanced
plant food to one quart of water,
and stir we'll before pouring in
pot. Or dissolve plant food tab
let in water and pour solution
in the flower pot. First feeding
should not be given until the
young plants have made good
growth and have true leaves.
A common mistake made by
many is to SOW seed too thickly.
Approximately Is seeds should
be sown per foot of row. AS the
seeds terminate and the young
plants come through and start
to develop, they should not
crowd each other, for crowded
plants will not develop well.

Peace Views

DETROIT, April s - (P) -
The foreign policy views of Sen
ator Arthur II. Vandenberg,
Michigan Republican, came un-
der attack here last night by Earl
Browder. president of the Com
munist Political Association.
Browder, speaking before an
audience of some 5000 persons,
also assaulted men and groups in
the ranks Of capital and manage
ment' who he said dream of
returning TO the old days when
there were no trade unions" and
leaders of labor who he said
constantly bark back 10 the
days Of unrestricted conflict"
Asserting that Vandenbefg had
proposed eight amendments to
the DumbaFten Oaks plan, Brow
der said only one seems TO be
substantive, the others being of
the nature Of high-sounding but
vague oratory."
FEARS CONFUSION
T he senator's proposal TO
strike out from the Dumbarton
Oaks plan the provision that re-
serves to the Security Council
the initiative in dealing with is
sues Of international peace and
security he said, could only
create confusion and defeat the
whole purpose of an information
al organization.
"Will it be justice for the peo-
pie Of America and the world"
BroWder asked, "if Senator Van
denberg is able TO block Amer
ica's entrance in the world or
ganization of nations, by a mi
nority Of the Senate gathered
around his manipulations with
the word Justice? Will it be
justice to set the world once
more on the path to war;"
Turning to domestic issues, the
Communist leader endorsed the
seven-point program for indus
trial peace signed by Eric John
ston, president of the United
States Chamber Of Commerce;
William Green, president of the
AFL, and Phillip Murray, pres
ident Of the CLIO.
Saying he was approaching the
industrial problem from the
workers point of view" Brow
der declared 1--WE who are on
the side of labor must admit,
however, that not all the diff
cuities come from the side of
management and capital"
There are among the leaders
of labor also" he said. "those
who constantly bark back t. the
days of unrestricted conflict, who
create suspicion and distrust
around all institutions and efforts
for the peaceful settlement of
disputes, who indulge in boast
full threats against management,
who idealize and promote strikes
for their own sake 80
Labor, he added, "must Sc
riously begin to put its own
house in order by repudiating
the policies and leadership of
such men as this"

Associated Press Automotive Editor
DETROIT, April 6-(P)-The
Government and the nation 5
automobile industry are agreed
that no passenger car production
can be authorized prior to vic
tory in Europe.
This was emphasized by J "A.
Krug, chairman of the War Pro-
duction Board, and representa-
tives of the industry here last
night following a conference at
which war production problems
and some of the preliminary pre-
parations for reconversion were
discussed. .
STUDY PROSPECTS
Krug announced the setting
up of WPB group in Detroit,
to be headed by Henry p. Mel
son, 37-year-old production ex-
pert, to work with the industry
on developing the various pre-
paratory steps which must be
completed before peacetime pro-
duction can be authorized"
Nelson, S1-a-year man on
leave to the WPB from the In
ternational Harvester Co., will
also retain his post as director
of the Aircraft Division of WPB.
Asserting that the conference
did not discuss a probable date
for the resumption of civilian
passenger car production, Krug
said:
mo new automobile produc-
ton can be approved until the
collapse of Germany and it may
be some time after that. We are
using all the materials and man.
power the country has to keep
the war going. Even after vic
tory in Europe continued
'mands of the military services
must be met in total and on
schedule"
CLARITY PROBLEMS
The conference, Krug said,
did discuss in some detail and
planning and preliminary steps
necessary to permit smooth and
prompt readjustment of the in
dustry when war production
schedules can be substantially
reduced. This discussion, it was
indicated, had to do with the inn
portance of retooling, plant re-
arrangement and other steps
that must be taken before
peacetime production can be
considered.
Virtually every automobile
manufacturing company was re-
presented at the meeting by it's
top executive officer, as were
automobile parts companies and
number of industry supplier
concerns. Also represented were
the armed services and the War
ManpOWer Commission.
DENIES FREE PRESS STORY
Krug denied that he had met
recently with representatives of
the big Three" companies of
the car industry and approved
production of 100000 passenger
cars during the latter part of
the present year. (The Detroit
Free Press in a special dispatch
from its Washington Bureau
yesterday sal dsuch an agree
ment had been reached.)
Asked whether there would
bepassenger cars this year IL
the war in Europe ended this
Krug replied:
II would prefer not TO specu-
late on that"
