Farm Machinery
Must Wait on
War Production

WASHINGTON, Feb. l. (UP)-
Because military equipment has
first call en- manpower and raw
materials, farm machinery supplies
will be insufficient to meet essential
farm needs for 1945, the Office OF
War information reported.
Latest reports indicate 25 per
cent lag in the farm machinery
production schedule, the Owl said
in a report based on information
supplied by the war production
beard, the war food administration
the agriculture department, and the
foreign economic administration.
The Owl said there was little
hope of catching up on farm ma
chinery schedules as long as the,
war production situation remains
critical.
The scheduled program would
have supplied farmers with approx
imately the same amount CT new
machinery and attachments as was
available in 1914 and nearly S20,-
100000 more in repair parts. About
10 per cent of such production as
there is will be shipped overseas as
commercial and lend-lease exports.
"As long as the war continues"
the VIA said, farmers will not be
able to buy as much new farm ma
chinery as they will need in order
to maintain their facilities at great
est efficiency"
Production of important spring
equipment was disclosed to have
fallen behind schedule as follows:
Planting, seeding and fertilizing
equipment, nearly 20 per cent; cM-
tivators and weeders, almost 80 per
cent; plows and listers, 35 per cent,
and harroWs and rollers, 18 per cent.
Tractor production is about on
schedule, it was said.

declined during 1914, the heroin
traffic revived on moderate scale
and marihuana became an increas-
ingly serious problem.
The operations OF narcotics agents
against the Parmagini gang were
among the most spectacular Of the
years work. The gang operated en-
an international scale, drugs being
smuggled into California from Mex
leo. The investigation started in
New York City in May, 1912, when
narcotics agents looked into activi-
ties of the 10Th street mob, a gang
CT hoodlumS formerly headed by
Lucky Luciano, noted vice czar.
After several arrests, it was
learned that the principal source of
opium and heroin was in Mexico
and that the New Yorkers were
dealing with the remnants of the
Parmagini gang in California. A
narcotics agent worked himself into
the gang and gained the evidence
which later brought about the ar
rest in Chicago of runner" JOS
eph THE Eye" Tocco. He was carry
ing 622 ounces Of opium and eight
ounces of heroin.
THE Eye" was sentenced to 10
years, and his supplier, Sam Maui
geri, Santa Cruz, California, board
walk concessionaire, received 20
year term. ..--.
Previously, one CT the principal
California members of the gang,
Charlie, big Nose" Lagaipa, had
been taken for a ride" and while
there were indications he was mur-
dered, his body was never found.

found shot to death and with his
throat cut last November near Tia
