Ao Researchers
Warn Of Shortage
Population Up rs Per
Cent In Next 20 Yrs.

COLUMBUS-Today the nation
ponders food surpluses; but tomor-
row the problem will be a far
more serious one-that of food
shortages.
These are the facts we face: For
every four people at the dinner
table today in the U.S., there will
be five by 1875. At current rates
of food production, we will need
100 million extra acres of crop
land to meet the food demands
forecast.
The land Is not available.
However, farmers are confident
they have the answer-expanded
research and education. They point
to their records of the past and
particularly to World War III,
when they were called upon to fill
the worlds breadbasket and as
sumed the role admirably.
At this point, 27-member COM
mittee representing a large num-
ber of agricultural organizations
and allied interests in Ohio are
going about the business of getting
the facts before the public and the
Ohio General Assembly, remind
ing everyone that no matter how
great the future burden and re-
sponsibility placed upon the Amer
ican farmer, Ohio must be pre-
pared to do its part.
The Committee-Action Commit
tee For Agricultural Research and
Education**-has taken a long
look at the facilities Ohio now has
and maintains they are grossly in
adequate-not only for the future,
but for the present.

OAR. President
Scores Commies
Mrs. Patton Says
Leadership Needed
To Overcome Menace

Columbus, Ohio, March 9 = De-
velopment of leadership is an ur-
gent need in this country to keep
pace with the tremendous growth
of American business and industry,
Mrs. James B. Patton, President
General of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, declared to-
day.
I'VE need more leaders in all
phases of our American life. Not
in the top brackets, but all down
the line she said. TOO many citi-
zens are sitting on the sidelines
watching as spectators.
Mrs. Patton spoke before the
Ohio OAR. State Conference at
the Deshlar Wallick Hotel. During
this final tour as President Gen
eral, Mrs. Patton is attending 13
state meetings as guest of honor.
Her term of office will end at the
close of the 62nd Continental Con-
gress in Washington this April.
In the United States, a Repub-
lie, patriotism makes for leader
ship, Mrs. Patton said. She ex-
planned:
THE leader does not become
the patriot. 1t is the patriot who
becomes the leader. And so the
Daughters of the American Revo-
luton, a patriotic society, works
through its committees to build
patriotism and thus strengthen
leadership. Nothing is more worth
while"
Mrs. Patton urged the training
of youth for citizenship, which she
said is one of the principal pro-
grams of the OAR. She declared:
"It may be true that some peo-
pie are born leaders as the saying
goes, but we know from experience
that many of our most noted men
and women come from the ranks
of the underprivileged and rise to
leadership through sheer hard
work and rugged determination.
"In the crowded centers of the
great cities, on the farms of the
back country, in the cabins of the
people who live in the mountains
are many boys and girls who will
become great Americans If we give

the United Nations. 1--WE need laws
to meet this situation" she said,
Communism is still deeply en-
trenched in this country"
There will be, no doubt, an eff
fort to plant Communists and SUBJ
versives in the new Republican ad-
ministration, Mrs Patton said, de-
spite rigid screenings, and there is
need for constant vigilance upon
the part OF all citizens who want
clean government. She added:
1--WE stand at critical moment
of history at vital crossroad. In
one direction is a group standing
for implacable resistance against
communism. The other group
stands for compromising with it.
The one stands for our traditional
system of government and free
dom; the other for a Socialist
State"

them an opportunity to secure pro-
per training. The stability of our
country is measured by the sta
bility of our youth.
Lessons in citizenship should
begin in our homes and then be
continued in our schools. Citizens
should know the schools in their
communities, the colleges and uni
versities where their children and
grandchildren attend. They should
know the text books and the inter-
probation which the teacher puts
upon the content of those books.
II believe that every school
teacher in this country should be
required to swear to the oath of
allegiance as we'll as support the
Americans Creed.
'1t is difficult to realize that at
present only 26 states require 10y
atty oaths of all public school
teachers, and only six states spe-
officially say that Communists are
not to be permitted to teach.
Religion was once taught in
our schools but was removed from
the curricula because of a differ
ence of opinion between religious
sects. The time has come for all
religious faiths to band together
against atheism"
Mrs. Patton said that training
for leadership in the fields of
business, finance and in our ma
tional defense is costly. She ex-
planned that leaders must stand a
little steadier than the rest, have
initiative to go a little farther.
They must be willing to accept
great responsibilities and make
greater sacrifices. If a leader has
the courage of his convictions and
faith in the cause he champions,
she said, others will follow. Again
putting the emphasis on training
youth, Mrs. Patton said:
"The boys and girls of today
are our life insurance but on life
insurance one must pay premiums.
So we, as members of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution
as well as citizens of the commun-
ity, have the opportunity and the
privilege of paying premiums for
the growth and character of our
young people"
Mrs. Patton, speaking on COM
munism as the chief menace to
American security and to the free
dom loving people of the world
said that Communism can be up
rooted to large extent in this
country if legislation is passed to
outlaw the American Communist
Party in the United States"
I'VE want Congress to give con-
sideration to such legislation" she
said.

she said, to discover Communists

Bond Sales Up
Over 1852 Period

Ohio sales of E and H Savings
Bonds in February reflected a
gain of $4,225, ,101 over E Bond
purchases for the same month last
year, with seventy-two of the
eighty-eight counties reporting in
creases, Paul M. Dwyer, Chairman
of the Madison County Savings
Bond Committee, said today. E
and H Bond sales in Madison
County for February were $27 1897
and compare to E Bond sales of
$21, 1856 for the same month in
1852.
Officials in the state bond office
in Columbus explained that al
though no breakdown of Ohio
sales is available on a denomina-
ton basis, national sales in Janu-
ary of $500 and $1,000 Bonds rose
II per cent over the number sold
in the first month of 1852. At the
same time, the steady uptrend in
purchases of SOS and $50 E Bonds
continued with a 6 per cent rise.
The office in Columbus said the
guaranteed interest rate at the
new higher 8 per cent level un-
doubtedly is attracting the larger
cash investors to E Bonds and the
new current-income H Bonds.
Cuyahoga and Lucas Counties
registered the biggest increases in
the state on a comparison of sales
among eight industrialized Sec
tions. but thirty less populated
counties showed gains of over 100
per cent in purchases of the two
