 Praises OPA
By FREDERICK c. OTHMAN

Washington, March 9- (U.P) - We'll skip the testimony of Pres ident William Green of the Amer ican Federation of Labor; import ant, but dull. We'll ignore the To- page statement of Edward A. O'Neal head of the American Farm Bureau Federation.
 Especially will We side-step the speeches of the club ladies, with their permanent waves and their pince neg eyeglasses. What they all wanted-Green, O'Neal and the ladies - was continuation of the OPA. They used so much time be- fore the Senate Banking and Cur rency Committee that for while it looked as though Mrs. Paula Chapin of Bucks County, Pa, never would get her say.
 The senators finally did get around to her and Mrs. Chapin sat down in the big leather chair. She was slim, sunburned woman with a pretty face. green suit (she made 1t, herselD and a blue hat She was a mother, she said, and a grandmother.
 Surely you don't expect us to believe that" said the gallant gen. tleman from New Hampshire, Sen ator Charles w. Tobey.
 "He was four months old last week." Mrs. Chapin replied. She went on to say that her husband was i'll, but that she, her daugh- ters, their children and two hired men worked a 160-acre farm.
 She said they produced corn, wheat, oats. barley, black angus cattle. hogs, lambs, potatoes, but ter, eggs, fruit, vegetables and enough milk for nine youngsters.
 You must have quite herd of milk cows," suggested Tobey.
 T have two" replied Mrs. Cha pin.
 Are they fresh all the time?" the senator asked.
 Enough of the time." Mrs. Cha pin retorted. She also said the knew nothing about statistics, but that she Shuddered at the thought of not having an OPA. Its a nuisance" :" she said, but a necessary nuisance.
 Her greatest scarcity on the farm, she reported was time, In the sum- mer, she continued. she worked 16 hours a day, churning her butter at night, and then worrying about the chickens.
 We have wonderful poultry in New Hampshire" interrupted Sen- ator Tobey. Tt is called New Hampshire Reds"
 Mrs. Chapin said she had some New Hampshire Reds. She agreed they were fine. She went on to say that she'd been selling her beef cat- tie to a local slaughterer for IT cents a pound on the hoof and that he lost about $40 on every steer he bought.
 Do you think he can lose money and stay in business?' inquired Senator Tobey.
 That" said Mrs. Chapin. "is what he ased me to ask you"
 Mrs. Chapin told some more about the operations of her farm. and how the OPA affected her, and as she finished, Senator Tobey said.
 Madam, because of your perspic- acity and your handsome appear ance. can easily tell that you are Republican"
 My husband is a Republican" she said. He comes from a long line of Republicans. am Q Demo- crat."

 Police said they doubted his story and would question him further
 O'Connell said several pamphlets outlining new economic plan for world Utopia and some pro-Nazi literature were found in Walscher's room in the basement of the tavern where he was employed.
 The two police officers who found Walscher said he was conscious when they took him down but soon lapsed into a coma.
 A crudely printed sign above his head said:
 Peace on earth. The brother of Jesus is chosen and sacrificed for noblest and greatest and finest inspiration for world peace. Let's all follow for the good of all menkind" (Signed) Unknown World Control lers.
 Police said the crucifixion appar- ently was performed by religious fanatics. However, someone who had knowledge of surgery must have had a hand in it, they said because the spikes were driven through Walscher's hands in such way that they did not bleed.
 Police said that in Walscher's room they found letters addressed to former President Herbert Hoover, to the Rev. Gerald L. K. Smith, and others. The letters were written by WalScher and claimed that he alone knew how to solve the worlds prob lens.
 Other letters indicated Walscher was the head, and perhaps the only member, of an organization he call ed American Industrial Democracy The chief tenet of the organization appeared to be that all incomes should be limited to s50,0OO yearly.
 One letter claimed the "big three" were making slaves of the world.
 O'Connell said the person who made the cross apparently was carpenter. The cross was nine by six feet. The ends were squared and beveled.
 Police said that shortly before they found the crucifixion victim: they re- ceiyed a report of n accident in the neishborhood.
 This tallied with Walscher's story that he had been summoned from his basement room to help someone who had been in an accident.

 Without hesitation, the entire company swept on into the pay dirt" of Germany in drive aimed directly at the heart of Hitler's Reich.
 These men, who caught the Ger mans mapping and crossed the great Rhine, were some of those who took it on the chin in the Belgian bulge. Now the company has its head up and ready for more work.
 War had not touched the coun- tryside in this sector. Apparently the Germans never expected 1t, be- cause there were no prepared de- lenses.
 On the East Side of the river, the Terrain goes up steadily into rich green woods. The high hill, quickly reached by the First troops over, stands out like Gibraltar. It is a contrast to the west side which is as flat as a Kansas cornfield. In between flows the placid Rhine.
 One of the fe wbarges in the river is full of Germans. They have been huddled there beneath their white flag of surrender for more than 24 hours and are getting hungry.

 At the same time, Liberators and Best on attack -bombers continued record support of ground forces on Luzon where the Japanese were be- ing compressed into ever-shrinking pockets.
