The farm and school leaders fx0m Iowa, Kansas, Missouri Ne brsska and South Dakota who at tended the conference agreed that economic and social problems of today should be taught in grade school as well as in high school. All forms of business enterprise, including cooperatives, should be considered.
 Emphasis should be placed on conservation, since mo country is more prosperous than the fertility of it's soiP'-on agriculture, since "every strong civilization has been built on strong agriculture"-on home economies, since nome is the germ cell of our whole society" and on health.
 How can this be done? These midwest leaders called on state governments to eQualize educa- tiOnal opportunities for all chill dren within the state, and they asked for federal aid to education. They urged that many school dis tricts be organized around natural community centcrs, that teachers be better paid and better qualified, that the ''hOrse-and-buggy" tax structure on which schools must depend be altered, and that nov ies be used more wisely.

Shocking Expose Army Officers Are BIdmed For Boys BetduiOr Abr0dd Poor Leadership and Bad Example Cause Trouble in Euro
 and Far East

Every American is reluctant to believe that Uncle Sam's soldiers are misbehaving in foreign lands. Reports to that effect, however, have become so numerous that they cannot be brushed aside.
 ''Is scandal brewing in Ger many?" asks Senator Owen Brewster (Rep., Maine), in an ar ticle in a national magazine. Brew ster is a member of the Senate War Investigating Committee. He describes testimony which that committee heard but has not yet published.
 Another national magazine re- gently published an article entitled, Heels Among the Heroes" It tells a shocking tale of bad behavior among our troops in Germany, and says:
 There, all the things any self respecting father would try to keep a boy away from-wine, women and easy 'side dough to boot-are thrown in the youngsters face"
 Discipline. "COIlapsed"
 General Carlos P. Romulo, Fili- pino delegate to the United Nations Assembly, declares that morale and discipline have utterly col- lapsed' among American soldiers in the Philippines.
 A conservative New York news paper reports that our troops in the Philippines are behaving like "brash, ill-mannered children, /" with the result that the people of those islands are losing their good opinion of the United States. They are asking why Uncle Sam keeps

The ones with energy, ambition and self-Confdence were eager to return to civilian life and make their way there. That was partic- ularly true of those who had done the fighting.
 Free Trip Abroad
 On the other hand. many "swiv- el chair heroes" in Washington and elsewhere on the "home front" had found Army life much to their lik- ing. And, now that the fighting is over, they were pleased to take a trip abroad at Uncle Sam'S expense.
 When they got overseas, they proceeded to Give the life of Riley in doing things they could never do at home. Many of them, as the soldiers express it, "shacked up'' with demoralized women of Ger many and other lands.
 Enlisted men were left almost leaderlesS, idle much of the time and bored, with the officers bad example before them. There are some good officers. of course, but not enough to turn the tide.
 Meanwhile, the people of
 Europe and the Far East watch
 and wonder whether this is
 America they see before their
 eyes.
 AS word of all this gets through to the American people, voluntary enllstments in the Army fall off, and the War Department intensi- fies its campaign for permanent peacetime conscription.
 If the Brass Hats" get that, they will not have to care what fathers and mothers think, because there will always be enough enlisted men to justify" the officers jobs.

large army in friendly coun- try.
 AS these troops are under Gen eral Douglas MacArthur. the War Department asked him to investi- gate the charges.
 In Italy, high U. s. Army au thorities ordered American civilian employees to get out of a hotel, so that officers and their wives could move in. The civilians were checking up on the graves of Yank soldiers killed during the war, and doing other work which they con- sidered important They refused to move out, but finally did so after the Brass Hats" threatened them.
 With Wives of Nazis
 From Germany comes news that an Army major, David F. Watson, has been sentenced to three years imprisonment for his part in the theft of the $1,500,000 Hesse crown jewels" Watson's defense was that this was Legitimate loot" and that he shared it with higher officers. including Colonel Jack Durant and general. whose name has not yet been disclosed.
 From Berlin comes an announce ment that the American Military government IS investigating wide spread "blackmarketing and trading with the enemy" on the part of officers and employees of the A. M. c.
 Senator Hugh Mitchell Oem, Wash). who. like Brewster, is a member of the War Investigating Committee, said he has information that high American Army officers have been engaged in indiscre- tions, drinking parties and cham pagne binges" with the wives of prominent Nazis who are in prison.
 In the Philippines, Germany, It. ally and other countries, reports say our Army officers. are living in the best hotels and houses that were not destroyed during the war. The former inhabitants of those buildings have been put out to live as best they can.
 The reports also say that too many of our soldiers are bullying the natives. behaving lawlessly and arrogantly,. and arousing ill-feeling which will do Uncle Sam no good in the future.
 Are Average Boys
 Most of the reports try to lay the blame on the "18 and 19 year old boys who have enlisted or been drafted since the war. ,Un- doubtedly those boys are too young to be sent overseas to rule other peoples, but they are not the real cause of the trouble.
 They are average American
 boys, whose behavior in the
 Army depends on the leader
 ship they find there. As in any
 military organization, the pat
 tern is set by the officers.
 Most of the good officers hurried out of the Army after the war.

High Seas Damage
New Carrier Midway
By the Associated Press

ABOARD THE U. S. S. MIDWAY
OFF GREENLAND, Mar. 9.-Pound-
ing seas damaged the new carrier
Midway as she ploughed northward
today for tests in Arctic waters
Waves Dashed in two of the
hangar decks roller curtains-the
venetian-blindlike doors in the
ships side just beneath the flight
deck.
Another heavy wave later
smashed third roller curtain in
a hangar bay on the same side of
the ship.
The damaged sections were shored
up with timbers and angle irons,
and similar bracing was ordered as
a precaution for other opening
ports on the hangar deck level
The damage to one of the roller
curtains threatened to deprive the
carrier of the use of a deck-edge
elevator which brings planes up
from the hangar level to the flight
deck above.
The weather was getting no bet
ter and there was some expectation
that the Midway would encounter
zero temperatures by Saturday
night. A driving snowstorm set
in, resulting in an order for escort
ing destroyers to steam in single
line to lessen the possibility of
collision in the low visibility.

Goss Urges Return
To Rationine When
Foods Become Scarce
Form Leader Asks Holt
In Subsidies 30 Doys
After OPA Act Posses

Albert S. GoSs, master of the
National Grange, today proposed
to Congress that rationing be
resumed whenever the supply of
any commodity is unequal to de-
mand and it appears as though
the shortage would last 80 days
or more.
Appearing before the House Bank
ing Committee, the farm leader also
urged Government food subsidies be
halted 80 days after passage of legis-
lation extending the Price Control
Act and winding up not later than
December 81 of this year.
Such action, he said, should be
accompanied by an increase in price
ceilings to offset withdrawal of SUBJ
sidy payments. If these actions
were taken, the Grange would favor
continuation of OPA for one year
beyond next June 80, Mr.. Goss
added.
Favors Gradual Liquidation.
The witness also gave his support
to the proposal of Representative
Brown, Democrat, of Georgia to
write into the bill provisions for
automatic. gradual liquidation of
price controls as supply balances
demand.
Mr.. Brown said the OPA would
have to lift the controls as soon as
certain other agencies certify that
a balance has been achieved. He
suggested the Agriculture Depart
ment for certifying on food COM
modities and the Civilian Produc-
tion Administration on other items.
Earlier, Representative Wolcott,
Republican, Of Michigan, senior
committee Republican, told newspa-
permen he intended to seek manda-
tory discontinuance of price ceilings
on any commodity when infiationary
pressures lessen as supply moves
close to demand.
Mr.. Brown said he intended pri-
marily by his amendment to pre-
vent ceiling on raw cotton" He
contended cotton supplies not only
are in balance with demand, but
there is surplus.
Extension of Year Sought.
President Truman has asked Con-
gress to continue OPA, without
amendment, for a year beyond the
June 80 expiration date.
Moreover, the administration has

act President Truman's emergency
housing program.
He asked for price ceilings on all
existing homes, a proposal defeated
