GIVE AND TAKE:
In Russia
Kharkov had fallen once more to
the Nasis and still they pushed east
ward. This was the story from the
Ukraine sector of the broad Russian
front. In another important sector,
further to the north, the Russians
were having the better of it as their
four-pronged offensive swept swift
ly through the area around Smo
lensk.
This and the fighting around the
anchor point of Orel were more im
mediately important to the Russian
cause than what happened at Khar
kov. For Orel serves as the turning
point between the southern and cen
tral fronts. Hitler could ill afford
to lose this base.
While Russian sources admitted
that Kharkov was important they
also pointed out that a strong de
fense line had been established be
yond the city and further claimed
that Hitler's troops found nothing
but dead Germans on the city’s
streets when they took it. Military
experts reasoned that Hitler had
thrust about 25 fresh divisions into
his drive for that point. Moscow
said that the reason Germany want
ed the city was to atone for the great
losses suffered by the Nazis at
Stalingrad in midwinter.
TUNISIA:
Aerial Action
Bad weather which has slowed
ground activity in Tunisia has been
no barrier to the growing Allied
Air force.
As a prelude to General Montgom
ery's expected push against Marshal
Rommel, Allied planes have been
pounding the Mareth line An elab
orate system of fortifications hewed
into the mountains, this line stands
between the bulk of the opposing
armies.
After a month of offensive opera
tions against the American and Brit
ish lines in central and north Tu
nisia, Rommel has pulled in his
wings. Although the Allies restored
much of their original position, they
have concentrated their effort on
softening up the enemy from the
air.
Allied air operations have been
particularly extensive over Sicily.
American and British bombers have
been pounding the great Axis base
at Palermo. Prosinone and Pozzal
lo were the latest Sicilian centers
hit.
MORE TIRES:
On April 1
Liberalizing tire rationing for the
second time. Price Administrator
Prentiss Brown expressed the belief
that all motorists would be able to
keep their cars on the road as the
result of the release of additional
tires by Rubber Administrator Wil
liam Jeffers. .
Effective April 1. grade 2 tires
will be available to drivers with gas
oline mileage allowances exceeding
240 miles a month. This includes
most B, C and T card holders. Mo
torists eligible tor 560 or more miles
will be allowed a limited number of
grade 1 tires, the highest grade cas
ing. However, all must be obtained
with certificates issued by local ra
tion boards.
These changes do not affect A
card holders, who are eligible for
used or recapped casings. Most of
the rationing formalities on re
capped tires have been removed by
Brown.
SKIP-YEAR TAX:
Hattie Lines Dratvn
When House Democratic leaders
decided to support a tax collection
system, without abatement, as ap
proved by the ways and means com
mittee, their action presaged a pay
as-you-go tax battle which may re
verberate in the 1944 political cam
paign.
Party lines in the house were well
defined, for the most part. Repub
lican leaders were lined up for and
Democrats against the Ruml plan
to skip an entire income tax year.
However, there was some cause for
worry among opponents of the skip
a-year proposal. In addition to the
powerful Republican membership
which had lined up for abatement,
some Democrats indicated they
would vote with the Republicans.
THUNDER:
Over Germany
Since the RAF staged its first
colossal 1.000 plane bombing of
Cologne last spring. Nazi industrial
and communications centers in both
Germany and the occupied countries
have been subjected to concentrated
pounding from the air. Out of 500
bombers. 475 returned after the last
shattering attack on Essen.
Railroad lines and the big auto
motive center of Rouen have been
the principal targets in France. The
extensive system of canals has been
bombed in Holland and Belgium.
And in Germany, the great naval
base at Wilhelmshaven. the big port
of Hamburg, the steel industries of
the Ruhr, and the engine factories
of Dusseldorf and Nuremberg have
been steadily plastered.
In flights into the interior, the RAF
has been using giant Lancasters,
Halifaxes and Stirlings, which carry
the devastating block busters in
their bomb racks. Wellingtons have
headlined in the bombing and straf
ing attacks on communications cen
ters.
The great raids, with hundreds of
planes participating on a daily
schedule, are believed to have
caused considerable damage to com
munications which the Nazis will
need to shift troops and supplies to
meet an Allied invasion. German
war industry appears to have been
badly crippled. But with the Amer
ican air force joining in the attacks
in increasing numbers, raids to date
may have been only a good begin
ning.
FARM PLAN:
From Cornbelt
The importance of a strong home
front—especially in the food sector—
was re-emphasized when officials of
12 cornbelt states concluded a series
of meetings to offset what former
President Herbert Hoover calls
"symptoms of a dangerously degen
erating agriculture."
Governors of eight states and high
ranking officials of four others draft
ed a series of recommendations that,
among other things, would:
Recognize farming as an essential
war industry; release immediately
all present stock of farm machinery
now in the hands of leaders or dis
tributors and provide sufficient ma
terial for completion of other units
! not now finished; grant selective
service deferment for "all experi
| enced labor essential to farm pro
duction" and "terminate the present
I unsatisfactory system” which sends
j farm machinery where "it is not
I adapted."

been 0.5 per cent.
SECRET AIRFIELDS:
Held Dutch Harbor
The story behind Japan's failure
to seize Dutch Harbor, the navy’s
Alaskan stronghold, is due largely
to the “existence" of two imaginary
salmon packing companies. The
facts have just been revealed.
The two packing firms were no
more than covers for one of the
Alaska defense command's most re
markable jobs—the secret construe- |
tion of two airfields to guard Dutch
Harbor. When the Japs approached
the naval base last June 3 (with two
carriers, three cruisers, eight de
stroyers and four transports—per
haps as strong as the forces which
struck at Pearl Haibor) they under
stood there was no airfield within
800 miles of Dutch Harbor.
In the midst of their assault the
Japs found themselves hit from be
hind by land based planes and
bombed and torpedoed by land based
planes. Their spy work—so success
ful at Pearl Harbor—had failed.
LITTLE STEEL:
Formula Fades
A source of comfort to almost ev
ery labor union official is the fact
that the Little Steel formula is fast
disappearing as a factor in wage in
creases approved by the War Labor
board. The bulk of wage adjust
ments now is based on "inequali
ties."
Reason for the disappearance of
the much-debated formula is that a
majority of employees already have
received the 15 per cent general in
crease permitted by the formula as
a cost-of-living adjustment. WLB of
ficials state that scarcely any im
portant branches of industry have
not raised wages at least that much
since January 1, 1941.
JAP FORCES:
Above Australia
Word from Allied headquarters in
the South Pacific indicated that
Japan's invasion forces appeared
shifting to the ring of islands north
of Australia.
This new menace was emphasized
when 49 enemy planes—25 bombers
and 24 fighters—attacked Port Dar
win in Australia. It was one of the
heaviest raids in months, although
the Japs were driven off with only
slight damage and casualties.
Wickard Is Made Target
Of Farm Policy Critics
Attack on Agriculture Chief Seen as a
Continuation of Farm Bureau Assault
On Farm Security Administration.
By BAUKIIAGE
Nrns Anatyit and Cnmmrntntnr.
WNU Service, Onion Trust Building,
Washington, I». C.
You will read in your favorite
newspaper that congress is out to
"get" Secretary of Agriculture
Wickard. The reason being offered
Is: "There’s going to be a food
shortage and he’s responsible." That
isn’t the half of it.
In the first place, the folks who
have been leaning back with their
feet on the Washington cracker-bar
rel and watching administrations,
wars and panics come and go, aren’t
taking these fiery debates, these
charges and counter-charges too se
riously.
The fight in congress today on the
surface is the farm bureau, the big
farmer (who isn’t so big in many
cases) versus Wickard. One layer
below the surface, you’ll hear it
called the fight of the extension
services against the Farm Security
administration. Back in the crack
er-barrel corner it’s just the fight
against the administration and
what’s left of the New Deal.
Criticism *Political’
One of these old timers shifted
his stogie, took down his feet and
said to me: "This is just politics.
The idea is that 1944 is coming up
and if you are an honest ‘out’ you’ve
got to do all you can to discredit the
‘ins.’ I think Wickard will weather
the storm. The Farm bureau peo
ple have nothing against him except
as a symbol of the administration.
He's an old farm bureau man him
self.”
•■But," I interjected, “what about
the war effort what about hiking
up the farm prices and smashing
the price ceilings? You can't give
the farmers higher prices without
having to boost wages.'*
My friend caressed his stogie and
smiled. “Don't worry,” he said,
“nobody is going to do anything in
the long run that will interfere with
war plans. But in a political fight,
everybody leans as far out of the
tree as he can without falling. Ev
erybody says the other fellow is
playing poBtics — but everybody
plays the game just the same.”
What is this "extension service”
versus Farm Security fight? Well,
it goes back a long way.
In the old days, the extension
service, the idea of the "county
agents” was started by commercial
organizations which wanted to im
prove farm prosperity so they could
sell more city goods. Later, the
system was financed by the states
with the help of federal grants. But
the states dominated. Then the
American Farm Bureau federation
was formed, officially in 1920.
The organization pushed certain
ideas for attacking surpluses not
very different from what the AAA
developed later. As the farm prob
lem grew worse, a farm conference
was called in Washington in 1932.
This group prepared a bill contain
ing many features similar to those
finally incorporated into the Agri
cultural Adjustment act.
Then came the first friction be
tween the farm bureau and the ad
ministration. There was a good deal
of politics in that. too. It was a
struggle between the AAA repre
sentatives in the field and the state
set-ups.
Farmers' Union Formed
Later, the Farmers Union came
into the picture. It was started
among the low income farmers in
Texas. It was the left wing of Ag
riculture and to the other farm
groups, it was "pink.” It had the
strong backing of Mrs. Roosevelt;
its policies were reflected by the
Farm Security administration, a ri
val of the more conservative Farm
Credit administration which minis
tered to the financial ills of the big
ger farmers. The friction has never
ceased.
A blow-up came when Wiekard
started his food administration. As
an old farm bureau man, he always
leaned over backward in an effort
not to be prejudiced against Farm
Security Also, as a cabinet mem
ber. he couldn't stray too far from
White House preachments So he
named Parisius. a Farm Security
man. to head up his food conserva
tion machinery and immediately a
nest of hornets was loose. There
was no choice. It was a question
of making a left turn against traf
fic Parisius had to go.
Wiekard was accused of turning
right by one group but that didn't
save him from the wrath of those
opposed to the administration. Nor
did his incentive payment policy
which wnuld not help the Demo
crat cotton raisers in the South nor
the Republican wheat raisers in the
north since what we don’t need to
feed America today is more wheat
or more cotton.
So the storm rages. Farm Se
curity w’ill probably be the burnt of
fering as anything with even a faint
ly pink complexion is a red flag to
congress.
Gardens Nothing New;
They Were Old Treat
You've heard the expression: "he
ain't what he usta be and what’s
more, he never wuz."
In a number of ways, these United
States of ours ain't what they used
to be—but they WUZ!
Take these victory gardens.
My goodness! It was long after
we moved into town (population 20,
000) that I had my real private
gardening experience. Back on
Spruce street, of course, there was
a whole orchard and the garden was
so big. it was ploughed. But big or
little, the backyard could produce
plenty for mother to “put up" (we
never called it "canning"), every
thing from tomatoes and corn and
those cucumbers—'what memories
the name conjures up'—to those
wonderful watermelon pickles.
I was talking with another old
timer, and he isn't so old either,
about his little Kansas town. He
said he couldn't remember anybody
who didn’t have a garden; or had
milk delivered to the doorstep ei
ther.
When the onions and the radishes
stuck their sprouts up. I used to
watch them with an eagle eye hoping
I would be able to deliver a luscious
bunch of them before the corner
grocer had his somewhat wilted
product to display. Of course. I
never could beat him by much and
by the time the fat tomatoes were
asking for a piece of lath to keep
their chins out of the dirt, all the
neighbors had them too. But that
didn't matter. Came the day when
the kitchen was redolent with en
trancing odors and the womenfolk’s
aprons were stained red as a vic
torious banner, and when evening
fell, the mason jars were cooling in
the pantry before they were stored
in the cool cellar.
In those days, about the only time
a can opener was used was when
somebody broached a Sunday eve
ning can of sardines as a special
treat to go along with the fudge
(made in a chafing dish if you were
a little doggy) and flavored with
songs around the piano to mandolin
obligato.
And what about the dry throats?
No ice cubes. No cocktail shakers.
Perhaps a bottle of raspberry shrub
from the top shelf from the pre
serves closet—a rich purple liquid
which had been squeezed through a
cheese cloth bag with strong and
loving hands, the fat berries inside
plucked from those sprawling bushes
along the back fence.
What good things came out of
the backyard garden by way of the
fruit jars and the jelly glasses! Can
you forget the quinces, smooth and
shiny and hard that hung on the
gnarled tree, harsh fruit that mys
teriously turned into a delightful
pink delicacy, which spread over a
crisp cracker like a benediction.

Tt’MsKCH.OSIS
Some year* ago while visiting a
tuberculosis sanllartum, 1 came
across a patient, an amateur heavy
weight boxer, who calmly informed
me that he expected
to stay two yeara In
order to allow hla
lung to become com
pletely healed. At
that time the pneu
mothorax method, in
which gas pressure
is used to cause the
infected lur.g to rest
was used mostly in
advanced cases.
Dr. Barton
More recently, oth
er methods of rest
ing the lung by caus
mg it to collapse have come into
use. such as cutting the nerve that
controls the lung and removing a
portion of several ribs.
As many patients are naturally
anxious to get “cured" quickly, the
question naturally arises as to why
shouldn’t these short methods of
resting the lung be always used in
stead of the long months and years
of bed rest only.
In order to answer this question
satisfactorily, Drs. A. L. Kruger,
B. P. Potter and A. E. Jaffin. Jer
sey City. N. J„ analyzed IK cases
of early tuberculosis seen in the
Hudson County Tuberculosis hospi
tal and clinics between 1930 and 1939.
From their findings, these physi
cians agree with those physicians
who advise early collapse treatment
with “advanced" tuberculosis.
What about the use of collapse
treatment in the beginning or early
cases. In early tuberculosis they
believe that rest, rest in bed, is the
treatment most needed to bring
about recovery. The disease was
stopped or arrested in 78 per cent
of these early cases by bed rest.
Treatment by collapse—gas pres
sure, nerve cutting, removal of ribs
—should be used in cases only when
the disease gets worse, tubercle
germs are found in the sputum,
where there is no improvement after
a long period of bed rest, or when
hemorrhages occur.
As there are many patients who
think bed rest treatment is too slow,
and perhaps members of the family
who think that treatment at home or
the outdoor clinic is as effective as
hospital or sanitarium treatment. I
think the findings of these research
physicians should be made known.

Treatment for
Ringing of Ears
A few years ago when an individu
al had tinnitis—ringing in the e3rs—
it was felt that, as there was often
some deafness present, the deafness
was the cause of the tinnitis. Ac
cordingly. the ear specialist treated
the ear for any condition that might
be causing the deafness, and when
improvement in hearing resulted
there was often some decrease in
the tinnitis.
Among the causes of tinnitis and
partial loss of hearing are <a> wax
or cerumen in the outer ear lying
against the eardrum. (b> partial
blocking of the eustachian tube
which carries the air from the back
of the throat to the middle ear
against inner side of eardrum, and
<c) too much liquid in the tissues
adjoining the balancing canals of the
ears. This latter condition also
causes dizziness, nausea and vomit
ing. and partial loss of bearing; it
is called Meniere's disease.
The treatment for these three con
ditions causing tinnitis is:
1. The removal of the wax by
placing olive oil or half strength
hydrogen peroxide in the ear. al
lowing it to remain for a few min
utes, and then driving out the soft
ened wrax with a hot baking soda
solution, using a powerful syringe.
2. The eustachian tube is opened
by means of an air syringe which
not only blows the tube open but
removes to some extent the moisture
which is sticking the lining surfaces
of the tube together.
3 The treatment of Meniere's dis
ease is by cutting down on all liquids
and table salt and avoiding or cut
ting down on salty foods. Foods
to be avoided are bread, salted but
ter. crackers, eggs, all corned,
pickled, smoked or salted foods.
Foods that are low in salt and can
be eaten are apples, asparagus, cab
bage. lettuce, grapes, lemons, or
anges. honey, ielly. unsalted bread
and butter.
That eystrain could cause tinnitis
will come as a surprise to many of
us. but Dr. J. R Noyes. Brockton.
Mass., in ••Laryngoscope” states
that he has relieved several patients
of annoying symptoms by correcting
eyestrain due to short-sightedness,
and astigmatism.
QUESTION BOX
Q.—Is there any cure for osteo
arthritis?
A. — The process — arthritis — is
sometimes stopped by use of a diet
low in starches.
Q.—Can you recommend a cure
for Pott s disease?
A.—Your physician can refer you
to an orthopedic specialist aho will
give usual treatment. Pott’s disease
is usually due to tuberculosis and is
cured by rest, plaster cast, some
times surgery.
Soil Mfmuftmtnl Aid
To Increasing Yield*

Test Get Good Result*
Larger yields of gram and better

tngly important these days when tee
demand h'r rereaL meat and dairy
products ter war and civilian needs
has reached such record peaks.
Whether the output ot these crop*
is large or small on a particular
term depends largely on the condi
tion of the soil that produces them,
according to Prof. C. J. Chapman
of the college of agriculture. Univer
sity of Wisconsin.
That such crops respond to soil
management is ex-dent from tests
carried on in a number of Wisconsin
counties in which fertilisers contain
ing phosphorus and potash were ap
plied to small grains and seeding*
of clover and alfalfa.
Farmers co-operating to the
tests laid eat demonstration
plots on their land, leaving one
area anfertiliaed. The resorts to
the form of grain yields and hay
crops that followed them to the
rotation were checked and com
pared. The harvests showed
that aot only was the owtpwt of
the small grains boosted, bat the
production of hay that followed
in the rotation was greatly to
creased. The tests showed, too.
that the soil improving treat
ments had a valuable carry-over
benefit.

were tests on farms in Portage eotat

one silt loam plot where 300 pounds
of an 0-20-20 fertilizer were applied
per acre in 1941. the grain yield was
51.9 bushels compared with 31.1
bushels per acre on the unfertilized
field. The 1942 hay crop on the fer

against 1,186 pounds—or an increase
of 4.307 pounds per acre.

Eliminate Hazards!
Unless soldiers on the farm front
are careful, an army of nearly 4.500
farm workers will be killed this
year by mechanized equipment and
livestock.
•‘That’s why we say that heroism
isn’t confined to the front battle
lines in this war,” farm families
were told by E. W. Lehmann, head
of the agricultural engineering de
partment University of Illinois col
lege of agriculture.
The shortage of labor, inexperi
enced machine operators and use
of older machinery wili aggravate
the situation for the duration.
In Illinois alone, nearly 3N
farmers lost their lives in pro
ducing and delivering food to
market in 1941. Thousands were
crippled for life; more thousands
were crippled temporarily.
Accidents during wartime are not
merely family and corr.ti unity
tragedies. Many times they are the
result of criminal negligence. Acci
