capacity now, in response to Gov ernment pleas to raise as much as possible Only way they can in crease production is to increase the productivity of the land-which, of course, requires more fertilizer.
 The request for rationing was referred to the Department of Ag- riculture by the Civilian Production Administration. The Department $ Production and Marketing Division las recommended against ration ;ng-holding instead that midwest farmers be permitted to continue to get the lions share of the po- taSh.
 However, Secretary of Agriculture Anderson overruled his experts and las signified agreement to ration ing.

A Fair Trial Even for Enemies
(St. Louis Star -Times)


 Twenty-eight high Japanese officials = military and civil arraigned recently before an lnter- national court on 55 specific war crimes charges The murder to the novel offense of spreading harmful ideas of alleged racial superiority.
 There can be no question about the desirability of fixing clear and punishable responsibility for war crimes Indeed such conviction may prove to be the strongest of all deterrents to those who may in the future be tempted to flaggelate the world in yet another orgy of slaughter. However, in view of the fact that Nuremberg proceedings have begged down that observers are beginning to wonder whether they can possibly accomplish their purpose of convincing the German people of the guilt of their leaders and of establishing sound basis for field of inter- national law, it becomes incumbent upon those in charge of the Japanese proceedings to move with prudence well as freedom.
 As first step they might well read again the dssents of Mir Justice Rutedge and MT. Justice Mur- phy in the appeals of Generals Yamashta and Homma. These pointed out how trials must not be con- ducted
 The cases against Japanese leaders should not be pushed in a spirit of vengeance Since they have been declared to be legal proceedings they must be con- ducted with full respect for the sanctity of the law especially as this is understood by Englishmen and Americans. Emphasis ought to be on acts clearly recognized as criminal before they were committed. Proof should be convincing beyond doubt. And the defense should be given all necessary time and facilities present it's Especially should it have the op- portunity for cross examination.
 Such respect for the rights of the accused does not betoken desire to help them escape justice On the contrary necessary to convince all the world that full justice is being done.

exit from the Truman Administra- ton. For when a cabinet member blasts the President, he is through.
 On the other hand, organized la Dor is the one group in political life on which Wallace has an elec- toral stranglehold. They have fought for him right down the line, and he for them. His assist ants argued, therefore, that he could not now afford to remain silent-even if it meant his exit from the Truman Administration.
 Wallace listened while his as- sistants argued. Finally he buzzed for his chief political adviser, liar old Young of Dallas, Tex, who once got oil-smuggler Freeman Burford out from under federal indictment at the time Burfords co-conspirator, Governor Die k Leche of Louisiana, was sent tc jail for 12 years.
 Young ambled into the room, his 250 pounds looking like an unmade bed, read the different labor state ments prepared for the Secretary of Commerce, then made a gesture with his hands as if to tear each one of them into pieces.
 That, in the end, was what Wal lace did. He decided to make no statement critical of his Chiefs la Dor policy.

Telling the World?
(Cincinnati EnQuirer)


 The announcement of the epochal new Northrup Flying Wing" bomber is exceedingly interesting from the standpoint of aeronautical development. It has however much military significance as well, and for that reason we're inclined to wonder a bit at the rather open handed in which the United States Air Forces discuss of its characteristics
 The new bomber is revolutionary both in design and capabity. The huge boomerang shape of the 1O4- ton giant follows approach to aerodynamic design of heavier -than-air craft. The flying wing design of course is less open secret, but it's adaptation to so immense bomber is certain to be of immediate interest to other powers The new XB-35 is almost capable of carrying B-29 bomber, great is its useful load and it's range is 10000 miles, while its speed is in the pursuit plane class.
 f We don't advocate ostrch-like policy of arma- ment design But in recent months there has been a veritable pageant of American military and aerial innovations If the Soviet has been public in its debuts of new equipment, simply haven't happened tn read about it.

WALLACE TOOK ORDERS

In making this decision, Wal lace's mind probably flashed back 70 another politically critical mo- Inent in the summer of 1943 when other advisers also urged him to issue critical statement of an- other Chief in the White House.
 The chips were down then too. Roosevelt had just booted Wallace out of his job as head of the Board of Economic Warfare in a David-and-G Goliath battle wit h Jesse Jones. Wallace was then Vice-President and couldn't be fir ed from that job. But Roosevelt had fired him from the BEW despite the fact that Wallace's chief fault was constantly nagging Jesse Jones about getting ahead with the war
 At that time also, the mer around Wallace urged him to issue a scathing blast Morris Rosenthal Milo Perkins and others wanted him to break with Roosevelt. In stead, Wallace took the advice oi his Texas friend, issued a state. ment written by Young which read:
 Tn time of war no one can ques. tion the wisdom of the Comman. der-In- Chief"
 Note-Opinions are divided re- garding the aftermath of thi move. Some Wallace friends sa, that later his political stock ros' to new heights. Others say tha FDR let him go out and speak a every crossroad, then knifed hin at the Chicago Convention in favo of Harry Truman.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline

WEDNESDAY,, JUNE 5
HEART AND HOME

HEART AND HOME
 The stars smile down on all low CTS today. Proposals will be diff cult to reject and engagements agreed on after noon will almost certainly end in marriage.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 There appears to be no real ba- sis for the fears and uncertainties felt by many business men. The problems of the moment will be re- solved and all will share in the prosperous period now in its begin ming.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Effective government control of all the basic services on which the people of this country depend is in- evitable unless management and labor can come to terms and give ample assurance that delays and stoppage will end.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Latin America will hold increas- ing interest for this country through the next year and possibly longer. Gradual spreading of Argentina's s influence is foreseen, but the activ- ities of it's propagandists probably will boomerang before 1947.
 Persons whose birthdate this is the promised by the stars: A year of profitable activity and a mark ed improvement in their personal financial affairs.
 Children born today will be sen sitive and emotional as children, but will learn to control their emo tions and grow steadily less sensi- tive as they enter maturity. They will be intelligent and have high ideals.

publican primary in the 10th Con- gressional District of New Jersey. For 16 solid years it has been re- presented by Rep. Freds Hartley of Kearney, N. J., always considered so strongly entrenched that he even survived Roosevelt landslides.
 This year, however, Representa- l tive Hartley is having the fight of his life from another Republican, Walter A. Schaefer, and the issue is one of the most interesting h the nation-OPA.
 Hartley is one of the chief ene- mics of price control, is known as the Congressional spokesman of The National Retail Dry Goods As- sociation There have even been indications that members of this Association were pouring money in- to New Jersey to save their spokes- man from defeat.
 At first it was reported that Hartley would receive around $10,- 900 in campaign contributions from grateful NRDGA members, but at the rate he is spending money dur ing the primary, it looks as if his campaign chest would run nearer $40,000. He is reported to have been pouring an average of $200 into every one of his A voting districts. 1 Meanwhile, his opponent, with little money behind him, but the mass support of indignant house. wives, has rolled up the biggest op- position ever before confronting Hartley. Even if Hartley doesn't ] lose, the temper of his opposition should leave its mark on other enti-OPA Congressmen.
 Note-How close Hartley is to the NRDGA was illustrated when the NRDGA wanted showroom to display a series of charts at tacking OPA. Finally, Representa- tive Hartley stepped in, offered the hearing room of the Post Office and Post Roads Committee, of which he is ranking Republican member. Other Congressmen rais- ed their eyebrows, since the Post Office Committee had nothing to do with OPA. Later, Hartley didn't like it when Congresswoman Chase Woodhouse of Connecticut used Ter own office for consumers ex- hibit favoring OPA.
 RATIONING FERTILIZER I Agriculture Department experts ere worried over new drive by Dixie Democrats. They now want fertilizer rationed. Hitherto, potash fertilizer has been used mainly for food growing, but now the South ern Bloc wants it rationed so more can go for the cotton and tobacco crops.
 Midwest farmers do not object to the idea of rationing of potash, provided rationing regulations re- cognize the supreme importance of food. The Civilian Production Administration, however, has al- ways allocated scarce materials on the basis of base period, and the Southern Representatives are in- sisting that any new rationing pro- gram be based upon 1914 consump- tion of fertilizer.
 In that year, five southern states used A percent of the Ma rion's fertilizer but produced only
 10 percent of the Nations food
 Tn the same year, five midwest
 states produced 50 percent of the
 Nations food but used only per : cent of the fertilizer.
