THURSDAY, MARCH Is, ls45.

by next summer and until this is
done, the holding of a general cleo
ton to name Legislature will be
impossible.
The Filipinos are anxious to be-
come independent, but, under the
Act of Congress, providing for the
realization of this aim, the new
born nation would face economic
difficulties. Instead of receiving
domestic market, the Philippines
would NEE t tariff barriers that
might cause serious problems.
While the United States is to
be commended for it's willingness
to relinquish control of the islands
acquired from Spain, it should not
be forgotten that much Of the sup
port for legislation necessary to
provide for the independence Of
the islands came from commercial
interests in this country, anxious
to eliminate Philippine competi-
ton in certain lines.

On Planting Alfalfa

"Is it practicable to grow alfalfa
on your farm?" This question is
asked by County Agricultural
Agent, Horace B. Derrick, in a let
ter sent to livestockmen of Balti-
more county, in which he says:
For soils adapted to alfalfa there
are few plants that surpass it in
yield, quality of forage, protein
content, and low cost to total di-
gestible nutrients. However, it is
a waste of your money and time to
seed alfalfa on land that does not
offer nigh opportunity for sue
cess
To help the farmer in determin-
ing whether or not he has land
that should be producing alfalfa
and to aid him in managing the
crop for more profitable yields
the County Agent sets out infor-
nation on selecting alfalfa soils,
drainage, fertility, adapted soil
types, and a practical plan for
growing alfalfa, as drawn up by
John Magruder, Agronomist at the
University of Maryland.
Magruder points to two impor
tant factors that must be consider
ed in determining the practicability
of growing alfalfa. First Of these
is whether or not the soils are
suited for alfalfa. Second is wheth-
er the farmer can produce the qua
lily of hay and the amount neces-
sary to feed his livestock adequate
ly by planting less productive hay
plants which require less expendi-
ture for lime, commercial fertilizer
and seed.
The answer to the second quar-
ter question, he says, obviously
will depend upon whether the farm
is large enough to produce all of
the hay required when less pro-
ductive plants are used. 1t is often
cheaper to intensity production by
use Of more fertilizer and lime for
the purpose of growing alfalfa
than to rent or buy additional land
in order to increase the acreage of
less productive hay plants. Inten-
sification also is more practical
than buying hay regularly.

ing and HOMEGROWN Feed Pro-
duction Program" series, may be

No Terror-B Bombing

THE BASIC POLICY of the
United Army Air Force has moi
been changed, declares Secretary
OF War Henry l.. 'Stimson, who
says that our efforts are "still
confined to the attack of enemy
military detectives"
Some confusion seems to have
arisen from the Interpretation
placed upon remarks by a briefing
officer which led to reports that
the Allies had decided to infiict
terror-bombing on the German
civilian population.
Mr.. Stimson, after investigation
says that the mistake arose
through an excusable but incor.
rect Interpretation Of the brief.
ing officers remarks. The dis
patch to which Mr.. Stimson re-
ferred was carried by The Asso-
ciated Press on February 11th
but was not published by some
important newspapers whose cor.
respondents, after investigation
cabled that terror-bombing hat
not been adopted and that target
bombing was continuing.

AbOve-Ceiling Sales
Cost American Families
Billion Dollars Annually

OPA Administrator Bcwles says:
"We estimate that above ceiling
sales cost American families ST.
600, 100000 year. It's made up of
the pennies, dimes and dollars
shoppers paid because they didn't
care or couldn't be bothered to
complain, and the grocers charged
because they had fallen down on
the job of price compliance. Food
represents 40 per cent of the aver
age family's budget. That's why
we feel that everyone--food retail
ers and their suppliers, consumers
and community representatives
who serve on local War Price ana
Rationing Boards will want to
back the Food Price Compliance
Program" Present OPA plans call
for a three-way drive by grocers,
consumers and OPA to bring about
more effective price control of ali
foods sold at retail in the groce-
ries and meat markets of the
country.

Senator Tydings To
Resume Breakfasts Sun.

For some years Senator Millard
f. Tydings spoke to the people of
Maryland in fifteen-minute
broadcast each Sunday over the
facilities of VIDAL, Baltimore, OH
important matters before the Con-
gress. These talks he discontinued
IN the spring of 1914 when he be-
came a candidate for reelection to
the Senate.
Since his reelection he has re-
ceived many requests from all over
Maryland and from other States
as well, asking him to resume these
talks. He announces that he will
dc so and appreciates the interest
or those who have written to him.
Starting this coming Sunday
March 18, he will speak from i AS
to 300 p. M. over VIDAL, Balti-
more, and at the same time on each
Sunday following thereafter.

8 To / In Our Favor
TIP TO THE BEGINNING of

4
1915, the Army Air forces
lost 1880 planes from all causes,
according to General H. H. Arnold,
who reports that Germany and
Japan together lost 50,658.
The ratio of losses is slightly
less than three-to-one in our favor.
Naturally, our Air Force knows
the number of planes we have lost
but the probability of error exists
in regard to enemy planes. Inas-
much as the Air Force has been
careful in regard to claims of
enemy planes destroyed, the prob
ability is that the figure is APP
proximately correct.
In regard to planes lost in air
combat against the Germans, the
General reports that we have lost
$3.50 but only 1926 against the
Japanese. German anti-aircraft
fire downed 5000 American planes,
while Japanese anti-aircraft ac-
counted for OILY 440. Our other
losses are accounted for by the
weather, accidents and mechanical
failures. Some were destroyed on
the ground.

May Double u. S. AirpOrts

Al present, only 1929 of the
3,047 counties in the United States
have one or more airplane landing
areas. This average of SO per cent
would be brought up to SO per cent
under proposals made by the Civil
Aeronautics ADMINISTRATION to Con-
gress. This would give the United
States one or more airports in g.
269 communities against the 2,5SF
airports today.

CIVILIANS AT WAR

The Government needs and asks
its citizens i'll this 171st week of
the war TO:
l. Take advantage of mild days
by conserving fuel. Future allot-
ments may be lower.
2. Donate magazines books and
games to you, local Red Cross.
They will be appreciated by the
boys in veterans hospitals.
B. Cancel all plans for pleasure
travel. Demands for Pullman cars
to move military casualties are
five times greater than six months
ago.

Listen For Them

FIVE YEARS AGO there were
a number of Americans busily
telling the nation that no foreign
country had any intention of at
lacking the United States.
These patriots, so-called, were
also assuring us that we had no
concern in the war in Europe, that
our interests would be best served
by standing aloof and that, after
all, nobody could prevent a Ger
man triumph.
Most of the individuals with the
views outlined have not changed
their opinions, although they have
been bit silent since the Japa-
nese attacked the United States
and the Axis powers in Europe
declared war upon us.
What keeps them silent is the
war, the fear of punishh. ent and
the APPARENT fact that ,he people
of this country are determined tc
prosecute the struggle, in both
oceans, to complete and decisive
victory.
As soon as the war ends, and
the danger of prosecution disap.
pears, the air will be filed again
with the voicea of the same group
They will be against anything
that shackles Germany, cooperates
with the decent nations of the
world and aligns the United States
with the peoples of the earth in @
quest for better days.

independence For
Filipinos

THE PRESIDENT of the Philip
pine Government, Sergio
Osmena, expresses the hope that
independence will be completed by
August, but there seem to be diff
ficulties in the way of such an
early realization of Filipino de-
sires.
1t is hardly probable that the
Japanese will be completely ousted
from the recesses of the islands

are beginning to understand that
if the United States expects to sell

it must be willing to buy some

From where | sit .. by Joe Marsh
How Sober Hoskins
Got His Name

From where sit, there may
be something in what Sober's
dad says. Naming children after
virtues is a fine old American
custom. Look at the names of
our pioneers and pilgrims: Faith,
Pious, Charity, Hope, Ernest.
Maybe we should use such
names more often. And one I'd
like to add is Tolerance" If we
all had Tolerance for a middle
name, and lived up to it, we'd
have a better, happier world.

10-Mi|Iion Auditorium
10 Be Weighed With
War Stadium Plan

Proposals for erection of a $10,-
0O0, 900 auditorium on the District
owned square Immediately south
of the Municipal Center will be
considered along with sugge ;tions
for war memorial stadium for
Washington, it was revealed yester-
day
The auditorium question was
brought up again by a report fram
the Netional Capital Park and
Planning Commission reiterating its
approval of recommendations made
eight years ago for an auditorium
on the Pennsylvania avenue site
that would seat about 10000 persons.
In formal report to Congress
on the bill of Representative Shep-
pard, Democrat, Of California to
create congressional commission
to plan an auditorium project, Maj.
Gen. U. S. Grant, III, planning COM
mission chairman, protested that it
would be unnecessary for Congress
to set up a new commission to 60
over the same subject covered in
the 1887 project report of an earlier
auditorium commission.
The congressional commission
created to recommend plans for the
projected memorial stadium yester-
day received request from the
Budget Bureau for comment on the
Sheppard bill. In response to this,
Edward p Terry, stadium commits
sion secretary, said that since the
stadium group had received sugges-
tions for an auditorium these pro-
posals would be placed before the
stadium commission for considera-
tiny,
