PenitenteS To Re-Enoct 
 SeIf-T0riuFe Cult
 To Lash Member
 To Wooden Cross

Sante Fe.. N. M, April 19-(UP) The Penitentes Brotherhood, a religious order which practices flagellation and self-torture, will re-enact the crucifixion of Christ today by flashing a brother to a wooden cross.
 The order abandoned the use of nails in the crucifixion ceremony many years ago, but the chosen brother is tied to the cross with heavy ropes about the arms, legs and chest. Throughout the cere- mony the shrill notes of the pito (flute )resound from the steep arroyo walls which shelter the cru- cifixion site.
 During the lenten season the penitents make pilgrimages to their lonely mountain chapels to re-enact the trial of Christ and ask forgive ness of their sins.
 The secret cult had its origin in the third order of St. Francis and it's founders were thought to be Spanish conquistadores who ex- plored New Mexico in the 18th and 17th centuries.

 Lasxi asked in the message that the Jews be told he had kept his promise made to them last week to intervene with Bevin, and that both he end Bevin exhorted them to take no drastic action until they get further word from London.
 No Assurance
 Lasky visited the Jews aboard the ship they boarded at La Spezia in hope of proceeding to Palestine. They were unable to sail for lack of assurance that they could enter Palestine.
 The British Embassy here inc sisted that the whole matter was "an Italian Government affair" Allied headquarters sent memor- andum to foreign correspondents last night saying that the La Spe- zia matter is entirely in the hands of the Italian government" and has been so since the outset.

KeIIeyCote In

 Boston, April 19.-'(UP)-A pair of World War II veterans will enter then 50th annual running of the Boston A. A. Marathon tomorrow as co-favorites to lead field of some 12O aspirants over the 26-mile SS5- yard course to the finish line.
 Skinny Johnny Kelley of West Acton, winner of the classic last year. will attempt to become the fourth contestant in history to take the laurel wreath for the third time.
 Others to win three times or more were ancient Clarence De Mar, a winner seven times and an entry this year: Les Pawson of Pawtucket, R. l., who will not run tomorrow; and pint-sized Gerard Cote.
 Cote, a Canadian army veteran from St. Hyacinthe, Que, is in again this year and is listed as the runner to beat. The flying French man last ran the race in l944 when he triumphed for the second con- secutive year to become a three time winner.
 Kelley will carry two numbers on his back-the traditional number as winner of last years race. and a threadbare number 26 which was won by Johnny Hayes when he won the 1903 Olympic marathon in Lon don. Kelley will wear the second number for a good luck omen, in an attempt to better his attempts against Cote in l94S and 1924 when he finished second.
 Cote, winner in one of two warm up races here recently, is out fol his final marathon win as an anna teur. Following the race Cote plan' to turn professional,

sert that right in connection with
some one who has something be-
sides his life to sell for his country
With the war over and nothing but
famine and pestilence threatening
the world, however, they are now
at it in full cry.
That is their way, but not neces-
sarily the American way.
Simply the Human Way.
The American way, to repeat, Is
simply the human way. One of the
human ways is to hold out for all
you can get If you have something
to sell. That is the way the human
individual acts. But there are other
human ways. Humans in the mass

sometimes counteract their individ-
ual instincts. They recognize the
necessity to do so in order to sur
vive. They establish controls over
themselves
They gang up together in an or
sanization called government to
protect themselves against them
selves-to protect, each against all
others and all others against each.
1t is the American way-the hu-
man way-to resent controls of any
kind. Controls are accepted only
when their absolute necessity Is
clear. The trouble is that this ne
cessity is not always clear to the
person being controlled. He can
see the need for controlling every
body else, but not for controlling
himself.
Forget the American manufac-
turer for a moment. or the limited
group of manufacturers that COM
pose the noisy NAM. Think about
the American farmer.
The war has been good to the
American farmer-those who have
not lost sons. Our agricultural
economy has been healthy. That is
nothing unusual American farmers
have always done well in wartime
and mostly not so we'll in peacetime.
Lesson Of World War i.
At the end of the First World
War the American farmer found
himself sitting on top of the world
Prices, while controlled. had been
good, and the demand for what he
produced had been terrific. Being
human-there is nothing more hu-
man than the farmer-he fought
to be released from price control
and he had his way. For a time
life was wonderful and then came
the crash. The farmer was Debated
f1atter than anybody, so fiat that
the Coolidge boom couldn't touch
hin-although the Hoover bust did,
stripping him down to his last re-
manning suspender button.
Slowly, with an occasional set
back such as the Old Guard Su-
preme Courts invalidation of the
first Agricultural Adjustment Act,
the Roosevelt administration began
to get the farmer back on his feet
Prices were forced up and the idea
of the ever normal granary intro
duced to encourage the farmers to
accumulate surpluses against a
time of need (The ever normal
granary In due course played a big
part in Allied victory, but that's
another story) The war completed
the process of restoring farm pros
perity.
Now the farmer is where he has
wanted to be. Can he remain there
or will he demand and receive the

The House of Representatives has
voted to release most agricultural
controls, along with most all others,
but now our leading farmer organ
izations are taking a different line
They are revealing some of the
good sense so sadly lacking in the
National Association of Manufac-
turers and are urging the Senate
not to follow the example of the
House. The chances seem to be at
least $3.50 that this time the
