CONGRESSWOMAN GRILLS
 ECA BOSS

Though 1t concerns every man who someday may have to should CT rifle, CongresSwoman Helen Gahagan Douglas chose a secret session Of the House Foreign Affairs Committee to give ECA boss Paul Hoffman a rugged grilling about the rebuilding of the German steel industry However, the lady from California got few straight ans wers.
 The attractive, plains D o k e n Congresswoman had before her a private report from French Govern ment officials, emphasizing the dangers of reviving the war po- tential of enc knocked-out foe, Germany, at the time the demo- craciss are trying to head off an- other competitor, Russia. So Mrs Douglas asked:
 Does the United States Govern ment intend to write off the tre- mendous sacrifice of American blood in the last war by putting the world timeclock back on a pre- Munich setting, when democracy had two potential enemies instead of cne?"
 If not, continued Mrs. Douglas, why are steel plants marked for separations, including plants stolen from the French, being kept in Germany?
 Can you tell me when the plants marked for separations will be transported, and to what coun- tries?" she demanded T mean all of them-including these plants in occupied Germany rightfully be- longing to France"

PLAINTIVE HOFFMAN PASSES BUCK

Hoffman passed the buck first to Norman Collison, chief of the ECA mission in Germany, then to the State Department.
 However, in the next breath he admitted that a number of steel plants would have to be kept in Germany in order to build Germany up to the 10,7O0,0O0 tons a year rate, which is the 1886 standard. German steel production now totals

McKELLAa LECTURES

Poppy Purcell L. Smith, registered lobbyist for the National Associa- tion of Electric Companies, got a snappy lecture the other day from crotchety Senator Kenneth Nickel lar of Tennessee. Smith also got a very red face.
 The Senate Appropriations Con- mittee was holding hearings or s2, ,5O0,o0G to build a team-electriC plant for the Tennessee Valley All thority.
 Smiths electric association was opposed-on the ground that the appropriation was unconstitutiona and would be an entering wedge for the socialization Of all indus try. To support their campaign from Tennesse, catching fresh Smith introduced for the record 8 letter from a CIO local in Ohio opposing the s2,5oo,o0o for the IVA steam electric plant.
 Next day, the Washington Post carried a full-page advertisement paid for by the electric association cutting the CIO stand. Senator McKellar promptly put the ad in the Committees record Then, turning to Smith, he al- most roared: 'Is this put in as a threat to Congressmen that GIG workers are not going to support them unless they adopt your views about this plant?'
 T cannot attempt to interpret the views of the CIO workers, replied the electric company lobby ist.
 Your real purpose" McKellai shot back, was to prevent passage of this steam-electric appropriation It it propaganda, pure propaganda that you are undertaking indirectly to threaten the Congress about thi; matter, and I want to say that as Chairman of this Committee, resent it very strongly T do not think you should havs done it." continued the Senator from Tennessee, catching a fresh breath. T think you have done your association an injustice and il will be a remarkable thing if they reain you, with the big salary that you get of S65 900 year" Smith fidgeted, shifting from one foot 10 the other, but McKellai raced on.
 T think" he said, they are go- Ing to have a hard time retaining and paying you that salary wher ' gcu do such a silly thing it seems ] 10 me, as putting in the paper 1 propaganda Of the kind I have just called to your attention
 T think that needs no response Senator" said Smith, and sat down
 Senator Ferguson O. Michigan i eased the pain by commenting tha the advertisement was bad publi, relations" but that everyone haC the right to come before Congres and plead his cause.

FLORIDA DECONTROLS RENT

The action of the United States Emergency Court of Appeals in decontrolling rents in Miami Beach is the joke of the hour. The landlords of Miami Beach crying their eyes out for the lack of tenants. They cutting their rents and cutting each others threats seeking suckers pay the inflated they have been getting away with for several years.
 Two years ago could motor the length of Florida and finds signs by the hundreds saying, NO Vacancy. Today motor the same route and find 19 out of 20 apartment houses and small hotels with sign prominently displayed Vacancy"
 The Miami newspapers are filled with advertise ments of hotels and apartment at rates cut below anything known in recent years. Big beach-front hotels that formerly charged imitation prices advertising for customers at three dollars day per person for double occupancy.
 Two years ago, year ago, Florida visitors might have been concerned at the decon- trolling action. Today they laugh in the face of the decontroers and the landlords and shop for whatever accommodations they seek at bargain prices

" JENNY KISSED
ME" AT ARDEN
Robin Hood Theatre Present
ing Ivan Simpson In Broad
way Comedy
OTHER ROLES NAMED

Last seasons Broadway comedy
hit, Jenny Kissed Me-, is the at
traction at the Robin Hood Theatre
in Arden, Delaware this week with
the distinguished English charact-
er actor, Ivan Simpson, in the lead
ing role.
The play, warm-hearted and full
of humor, tells the story of an old
man who has become remote from
the modern world and the march
Of progress. His viewpoint is
changed by the arrival of his niece,
a very modern young lady, who
moves in with him and gradually
makes him see that there is some
thing to modern life and the young
men and women of today.
Mr.. Simpson, who scored a great
success in the leading role in "On
Borrowed Time, at the Robin
Hood, a few weeks ago, has had a
long and notable career in both the
English and American theatres.
Since he made his theatrical debut

FARM FINANCE
REPORT MADE
Delaware Farmers Spend Mil
lions For Improvements;
Small Debt Increase
DEMAND IMPROVEMENTS

While Delaware farmers have
spent millions of dollars for i'm
provements, soil conservation, and
the purchase of new equipment
since the wars end, farm debt has
made no significant increase; and
savings in cash. bank deposits, and
United States Savings Bonds are
at record levels, according to Wal
lace F. McFaul, The First National
Bank and Trust Co., Milford, Del,
who represents the Delaware
Bankers Association as county
key banker. Delaware farm fam
lilies are going through these final
months of adjustment from a war
to peacetime economy with very
little disturbance, Mr.. McFaul
said. 'They are maintaining a
sound financial position; and while
they are using more credit for i'm
provements and new equipment,
their obligations are being paid off
in relatively short time, and they
are adding to their already sub
stantial financial reserves Re-
porting on the results of fifth ma
tional survey of bank lending made
by the Agricultural Commission of
the American Bankers Association,
Mr.. McFaul said that total farm
debt held by the banks of the state
at the beginning of 1949 amounted
to only about SS,0O0,000, compared
with $1,000, 900 on January 1, 1948.
In addition to this amount, there
are $240, 900 in Commodity Credit
Corporations loans held by the
banks cooperating with the govern
n1ent's farm price support pro-
gram" In 1948, the last full year
of operation, the 35 Delaware
banks serving agricultural COM
munities loaned $3,665, 900 to 1,456
farmers. This represents total
of 1877 per cent of the farmers in
the state. OF the total amount,
1,036 farmers borrowed from the
banks to finance production in an
aggregate amount of 81, ,946, 900. Of
this type loan, S2,186,O00 was out
standing at the beginning of 1949.
Last year, there were 420 farmers,
representing only AS per cent of
all farmers in the state, who made
farm real estate loans in an aggre-
gate amount of S1,701, 900. The
