to allow any large segment of the
economy to suffer. They want every
one to prosper. They know that they
can produce all the food and fiber the
people need. The wal proved that.
Through their cooperative effort
farmers have achieved some measure
of economic security. They buy
equipment and supplies and sell their
products-at cost. They furnish
themselves with the services they
require because they all are part and
parcel of their cooperative. They
have equality in all decisions.
Farmers cooperstives are non-profit
enterprises. All the earnings are re-
turned TO the farmers as savings-on
the basis of their patronage.
Thus, in teaming up with others, the
individual farmer has met the prob
lem common to all farmers.

CooPeratives
j. COL Den RULE into action

"a
Us ye would that men should
do to you, do ye also to them, like
wise"
That is a scriptural Injunction which
everyone learns in. childhood. Too
often it is forgotten in the stress and
strain of daily living.
Your neighbors, the farmers, have
put the Golden Rule into action
through their cooperatives. Human
necessity led farmers TO work TO-
gether for the common good. This
working together is not new. Farmers
have practised cooperation for gen.
erations before there were co-ops.
The old barn raising bee is an example
of farmer-cooperation. The farmer
who needed a barn called on his
neighbors. The whole community
helped TO build the barn. The men
brought their hammers and their
saws. The women brought along their
kettles and their "yittIes". Working

founded on a regard for

Golden Rule.
Your neighbor, the farmer,

StorIines Here to Be Wiped Ou'
But xunten Won't Tell How

Starlings in the District face ex-
termination II the decision reached
yesterday by the Districts Commit
tee on Cleanliness and Sanitation
is carried out.
William A. Xanten, city refuse
superintendent and chairman Of the
committee which met in his Office
said that after a study of these
birds, which he described as q nui-
sance and menace to the cleanli-
ness OF the downtown area, the COM
mittee concluded that extermina-
ton is the only way to get rid of
the starlings. Dispensing of them is
not enough, he declared.
The committee has not decided
what method would be used to kill
the birds but is considering several
feasible ones, Mr.. Xanten said.
Once we decide to 60 ahead with
the plan, We will find a way of
doing the killing" he added.
Before any action Is taken, how
ever, Mr.. xanten said, members of
the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, the Audubon
Society and similar other groups will
be invited to attend the next meet
ing OF the District Committee and
present their views.

to experience regeneration as a
result OF its construction.
From South Capitol street, traffic
will reach the bridge on masonry
faced ramp. AS it gains height, the
approach will curve to the left and
reach the water near the foot of r
street. The bridge itself, $500 feet
long, will be of steel girder con-
Istruction. but, like Chain Bridge
will be without steelwork over the
roadways. Stone-faced concrete
piers in the river will support the
structure.
3S6-Foot Swinging Span.
A 386-foot swinging span, wide
enough to permit passage of large
warships bound for the Navy Yard
will be located at the river channel
There will be two strips of pave
ment, each "a feet wide, separated
by four feet of curbing, to accom-
modate two lanes of traffic in each
direction.
On the Anacostia side, bridge
traffic will cross the existing park
roadway on an overpass, and a
traffic plaza to be laid out there
will provide connections with Mich
OILS and Firth Sterling avenues and
the Anacostia section of South
Capitol street as well as with the
park thoroughfare.
In addition to serving the new
housing developments in the area,
the bridge and its feeder roadway
system will speed flow of traffic be-
tween the District and such large
establishments in nearby Maryland
as Andrews Field, Fort Washington
and the naval reservation at Indian
Head.

1--WE feel" Mr.. xanten added
that bird lovers, when they know
the conditions existing in the city
will be willing to do something about
she starlings, which are not even
protected by the Federal Migratory
Sird Act. Few citizens realize that
there is considerable added expense
in cleaning the downtown streets
where these birds are found in large
numbers"
The committee also discussed
methods of eliminating ragweed and
other obnoxious weeds in this area
John w. Batson, superintendent Of
trees and parkings, indicated that
his Office this fall would conduct
experiments with 2,4D, weed-kill-
ing chemical that has been found
effective by the National Park
Service.
No hope was offered for hay fever
sufferers that the ragweed would
be eliminated this fall, but Mr..
Batson said he hoped to begin an
extensive spraying program" next
spring. The refuse and sewer d.
visions have offered to assist Mr.
Batson in this program II he needs

Prosecutor Diamond
Moves 10 Tighten
'Gun-Toting' Law

An effort to tighten the laws on
carrying dangerous weapons in the
District so that policemen can
make cases" in court, was under
way today by Assistant United
States Attorney John B. Diamond
III, of the criminal division of
Municipal Court.
There are too many people car
rying guns in Washington" Mr.
Diamond said yesterday. Under the
present law a policeman almost
has to wait for some one to be
killed before he can do much about
it."
Mr.. Diamonds decision came after
a hearing yesterday for Clifford
English, 81, of the 1900 block of
Thirteenth street NV, who was
charged with carrying a dangerous
weapon.
Illegal Arrest Plea.
The case was continued until next
Thursday by Judge Ellen K. Raedy
after English's attorney asked the
case be thrown out of court on the
grounds of illegal arrest. Judge
Raedy continued the case in order
to allow Mr.. Diamond time to show
that the arrest was legal.
Testimony revealed that English
was arrested Wednesday near
Seventeenth and r streets NV,
after a citizen complained he was
"peddling women's clothes" Police
said that English was carrying a
German luger, loaded with seven
bullets, and another revolver at the
time Of his arrest.
Mr.. Diamond explained that car
rying dangerous weapon is a
misdemeanor in the District and
a policeman, under the present in
depreciation of the law, must see
the misdemeanor being committed
before he can make the arrest.
Prosecutors Stand.
Mr.. Diamond maintained that If
information leads the officer to
suspect that a man is carrying a
gun, he should be able to arrest him
without a warrant and charge him
with the offense when the gun is
found.
IF the court rules against the
legality of the arrest in this case,
I will suggest that it be appealed
so we can get ruling from the
higher courts" he said.
If this also fails to get more
liberal Interpretation of the law,
Mr.. Diamond said his Office would
take steps to have the law changed
so that carrying a dangerous weapon
would be classed as a felony thus
making the person suspected liable
to arrest without actually seeing
the offense committed.
Bond for English was set at 81 900
pending the hearing next week.

Builders,
Teachers May
Win Draft STAY
List Also Extended
To Key Production,
transportation Men

The men who build homes, teach
college classes and hold key pro-
duction and transportation jobs are
the latest to be added to the list
OF draft registrants to be given
most serious consideration for
occupational deferment.'
To win deferment, these men
have to be irreplaceable and in
dispensable in an activity so es-
sential to the Nations existence
that any disruption of it would
adversely affect the physical WELL
being, the public safety or eco
nonlic life of the community or the
Nation"
They also must meet the require
ment that Federal agency certify
their deferment. Once they get
that certification, draft boards have
been told to give their deferment
the most serious consideration"
Requested by WMR.
Officially, these latest additions to
the slim list of deferrable men in
the 1929 age group were requested
by the director of War Mobilization
and Reconversion.
Unofflcially, selective service
spokesman explained the draft
boards didn't want to call men
whose induction would keep a
veterans home from being built or
a veteran student from getting his
education under the CT Bill Of
Rights.
Construction workers will be GER
titled for deferment by the National
Housing Agency. They must have
at least three years training and
experience in key building crafts,
such as bricklaying, plastering,
plumbing and carpentering, or in
home construction supervision. In
addition, their employers must
establish that If these men went in
the Army the veterans emergency
housing program would be delayed
or threatened with delay.
Teachers at accredited colleges or
universities will be certified by the
Office of Education.
CPA Must Take Action.
| The Civilian Production Admins
tration has to pass on registrants in
critical production and transporta-
ton industries. To be deferred, these
men must be supervisory, technical
| or scientific personnel whose re-
moval would significantly retard"
production in essential activities.
Qualified and irreplaceable produc-
ton workers in critical industries
also may be considered for defer
ment if CPA says so.
The CPA said it would certify
only "a minimum number of key
workers" for possible draft defer
ment. CPA pointed out that Sc
lective service would honor defer
ment Qualifications only if the total
is kept small FL
Draft boards previously have been
authorized to consider deferments
for students in medicine, dentistry,
veterinary medicine and osteopathy
and certain teachers and research
workers in physical sciences and en-
cheering. The Office of Scientific
Research and Development certifies
them.
The draft act applies to men 10
to A, but under current Army
policy, only those in the 1923
group are being called No men will
be drafted until September, when
draft boards will pick up where
they left off before the July August
draft holiday.
