Gains From u. s. Aid
Must Be National

The test as to whether any
Federal activity should be un-
dertaken in a region, as I said
recently in Seattle, is that the
return on the investment must
be real, not hypothetical, and
the gains must be national, not
local.
Decisions on Federal expen-
ditures must not be made sim
ply in response to local or re-
gional pressures or the demands
of particular pressure groups.
Such decisions would reward
those who bring the most pres
sure, at the expense of those
who bring the least. We must
see that modesty is not penal
lied.
New England pioneered the
industry of the new world. The
red brick mills along your
streams are the mothers Of all
the factories and industrial
plants in all the country. In
the last IS years. other indus
trial areas have outstripped
New England in their rate of
growth and this was to be ex-
pected. Prosperity in other
parts of the Nation has meant
prosperity for New England.
You have shared in the Nations
great advances in production,
employment and living stand
ards during the last Is years.
Yet / am also conscious of
the things that disturb New
Englanders-the textile mills
and shoe factories that have
been closing or moving South;
the unemployment in some mill
towns when jobs elsewhere have
been plentiful. and the fact that
any drop in business hits New
England with special severity.

Notes Compliment
To New EnqIunders

A few days ago in a report
to the President by the Council
of Economic Advisers, I found
the following comment about
New England:
"Its people are noted for their
independence and self-reliance.
They seem to look less to the
Federal Government for help
than do the people of any other
region"
If I were a New Englander I
would be mighty proud of this
compliment.
However. the report goes on
to inquire whether these virtues
carry their full reward. All
parts of the country should
benefit from the things taxes
buy. I know that many thought
full people in New England have
long wondered If they get their
fair share of benefits from the
Federal taxes they pay.
I want to say here in New
England what I have said else
where. I believe the Federal
Government must not hesitate
to do things that are necessary
for the country's welfare which
the people of States and local.
tiles cannot do themselves.
Irrigation in the West has sup
piled the whole Nation with
more and better and cheaper
food; Bonneville and Grand
Coulee Dams have added not
alone to the industrial wealth
of the Northwest. but to the

Other Sections

The Federal Government must
never seek to impede the growth
OF one part of the country to
help another part. Nor have I
ever heard any New Englander
suggest that the. salvation of
New England industry lies in
blocking the advance of. the
South or Midwest.
But government can work
toward fair standards of COM
petition between regions. We
know that Massachusetts pio-
neered, not alone in manufac-
turing, but in a decent and
dignif1ed life for the men and
women who work in industry.
Your standards Of unemploy-
ment compensation, accident
compensation, protection for
women and children have al
ways been high. Unions in New
England are strong and alert to
the interests of their members.
Competition which derives it's
advantage from lower wage
standards, less protection for
workers or lower living stand
ards is not always healthy COM
petition. We must have reason
ably uniform wage and hour
standards. We must have rea-
sonably uniform standards Of
social security throughout the
country. That has been the
policy Of the Democratic Party
during the last 20 years.
New England pioneered in in
dustry. In recent years it has
been pioneering in the even
more difficult task of industrial
redevelopment-of replacing it's
old industries with new ones.
Machinery, chemicals and elec-
tronics are replacing cotton tex
tiles and shoes. Even out in
Illinois we have heard talk about
a primary steel industry for New
England. .-.

|CaudIe Tells Of Trips
Made by Ellis Slack
On Grand Jury Cases
By GEORGE Beyeridoe

T. Lamar Caudle testified today
that the Justice Department sent
Ellis N. Slack from Washington
on at least three top-policy mis-
sions in connection with cases
which either were before or had
cleared grand juries. ...
Mr.. Caudle's testimony before q
House investigating subcommittee
was leading up to the part he
played in a controversial tax case
inquiry conducted by a st. Louis
grand jury last year. s1.s
Mr.. Slack. denoted last week as
acting chief of the Justice Depart
Iment's tax division. has been
charged with fostering a grand
jury report designed as a white
wash. He had been sent to St.
Louis on two occasions by Mr..
Caudle and former Deputy Attor-
Iney General Peyton Ford. T..
Went to Milwaukee.
Mr.. Slack has denied the
charges, asserting his only job
was to assist the st. Louis Jurors.
In testimony today, Mr.. Caudle
said Mr.. Slack also:
l. Was sent to Milwaukee last
year with instructions about a tax
case in which former Democratic
Senator Scott Lucas was a defense
lawyer.
2. Once was sent to Nashville,
Tenn. to get dismissals of indict-
ments returned by a runaway
grand jury"
Mr.. Caudle, himself ousted last
November as chief of the Depart
ment's tax division, meandered in
great detail as he discussed a
number of tax cases and Justice
Department policies involved in
them.
Health Given as Reason.
He said the Milwaukee case in
volved Mr.. and Mrs. Michael
Shapiro. who had been indicted
for allegedly undertaking taxes
due.
He said Mr.. Lucas, retained as
Washington counsel for the Sha-
lpiroS, came to him to urge that
Mrs. Shapiro not be prosecuted
because of her bad health. The
Department has a policy under
which it can waive prosecution if
the ordeal Of the trial would en-
danger the life Of the defendant.
Mr.. Caudle said he fatty told
Mr.. Lucas, however, that the poll
icy held only before indictments
were returned. In the Shapiro
case, he asserted, he told Mr.. Lu-
cas- any such waiver would have
to come from the judge handling
the case.
Warned by Prosecutor.
Mr.. Caudle said he also had
been warned by the United States
Attorney in Milwaukee that dis
missal of the case against Mrs.
Shapiro would greatly endanger
chances of prosecution against
i1er husband.
Mr.. Lucas, he continued, was
fright much concerned" and "very
strong in his arguments" about
Mrs. Shapiro's chances of living
through a trial.
After second visit from Mr..
Lucas. Mr.. Caudle said, Il told
Howard McGrath (then Attorney
GeneraD I was concerned about
it and the only thing I could rec
ommend was to have one of our
attorneys go out and tell the
judge about our health policy"

There is also the problem Of
power. I am told that the power
rates in New England are nearly

Handle Sweet Potatoes
Carefully To
Prevent Bruises

Sweet potato growers Ia et
handle potatoes too careluly a.
dioeine time. Hugh A. Bowers
Clemson extension truck crops
specialist, points out that 'ney J
should be handled like eggs oil"
not like brickbats. =.
"The use of cotton gloves by
harvest hands will reduce bruls,hs
and fingernail cuts" ne stateS s
Bruised potatoes will show aarh !,
spots or sunken spots, depenoiis
upon the severity of the orulse'
These spots give them an uliaso
tractive appearance, affect VIC
price, and often are the cause Oh
considerable decay. The keeping
quality of sweet potatoes depends
very much on how they are handl-
ed at harvest time," he says.
MIR. Bowers points out that pres
ent estimates indicate that TINS
years crop will be one OF tne
shortest ever produced IN thlS
country. This fact makes 1t more
important than ever that growers
do everything they can to save
every potato harvested.
In the Clemson Extension sweet
Potato Letter, he lists the follow
ing suggestions to be followed IN
harvesting: CD Use a vine cutter
which is a labor-saving device, at
tached to a middlebuster, the
larger the better. Run the middle
buster deeply to avoid cutting the
potatoes, making only one turroW
per row and blowing up every
other row. (2) Scratch out pota-
toes and lay them on side of row;
never throw into piles or heaps as
this causes bruising. Leave pota-
toes on side of rows for several
hours before picking them up un-
less sun is very hot. This will al
low them to dry off and give a
cleaner potato. 1t will also allow
the skin to harden and thus help
to prevent bruising.
Also, 60 pick up No. is first,
using most careful and experience
ed help for this job. Then pick up
No. Us, jumbos and culls, keeping
them separated. az Place potatoes
carefully in baskets; never throw
or drop them in. (5) Baskets are
still expensive. Fill them full so
lids will fit tightly to conserve
baskets and to keep potatoes from
shifting about in the baskets and
bruising while being handled to
and from storage. (6) Store diff
ferent grades and seed stock sep
arately. CD Repeat this process
on the rows left at the first plow-
ing.
