he personally could step into the cur

strong stand on an' issue which seri

that newsprint shortage is due no"
so much to decreased woodpulp pro

to much greater use of cardboard

'HEAT SUBSIDIES:
* . „ ' ; .
Payments Set '■ :
To hold-down the price of br^ad,
jovernment agencies moved in two
directions, with the Defense Supplies
corporation announcing wheat sub-
,'l«idy payments to millers and the
||OPA establishimg ?ft>ur ceilings.
® For all wheat ground-in the Pacific
coast area,the DFS will pay 14 cents
bushel. Outside of Pacific
region, 16 cents per bushel will be
paid on hard wheat, 5& cents, a
Dushel on soft wheat, and 6 cents a
bushel on durum wheat.
As a basis for payment, DFS an-
nounced that millers must sobtract
le current market prices for wheat
rom the price used by OPA in fig-
iiring flour ceilings. Payments will
i made to millers each month, with
isbursements based on the rate in
lect at the time the flour is sold.

Under new OPA regulation, -maxi-
mum prices were established for all
of wheat flour on the millers'"

there to hear that the club's 1,700,-
000 members had raised five million
bushels of war garden produce;*- nine
million poultry, 90,000 heSd^Of dairy
cattle, 600,000 head of livestock; 12.
million pounds of peanuts, soybeans
and other legumes, and canned 15
million jars of products. A
• In addition to their production
feats, the 800 delegates learned that
during the last year, 4-H members
sold or purchased more thap $25,000,-
000 worth of war bonds and stamps j
and. collected more than 300.00b.iJ00
pounds of scrap, Summerville,.,
Georgia's, pretty 17-year-old Helen"
Louis Owings alone sold $699,000 ih
war bonds.
At the congress were 17-year-old
Billy Sol Estes, Clyde, Texas., whose
six years of 4-H work have netted
him $28,739,- and 18-year-old Geneva
Duhm, who has collected $1,626^

bone unless energetic moves art
made by the government.
The plan put iorward by news
paper executives friendly to th«
White House includes: ^
1. Greater use of war prisoner!
in the Canadian and Maine forests
2. More equitable distribution oi:
newsprint among publishers.^; A>
.presentrthe papers witt the .bi^Siuir
day editions have scarcely suffered
at all, being able to absorb theii
paper cuts out of thejir Suhday "fat.'1

3. ^t.rM?ter supervision oj cuts by,

z.ines and newsprint users who have
not kept'such accurate records oJ'
their past consumption. The news'
paper industry has suffered by itj-
past efficiency,' having kept very ac
.curate retfofds^ j:? -
4. More emphasis^'on the papei
salvage campaign. At present, only
35 per cent W-thfc' nation's waste
paper is being collected and sal-
vaged, The waste paper reclaiming

board but now only two million.
The newspapers stepped jn and did
a great job of collecting scrap iror
when the nation needed it, but nowr
when the newspapers need news-

handicapped in blowing their horn.

GOOD NEIGHBOR PEACE

For the first time it reveals the

navy okayed puhlication by Griffin
of the fact that, at one time, the
Hornet practically acted as a sub-
stitute for Henderson Field hi the
Solomons. That badly messed-up
airport, on the night of October 14,
1942, had only five planes left and
gasoline to send out only four. So
the Hornet came alongside- the is-
threw her- planes into action] .
and, for 36 hours, substituted for
Henderson Field.
Even more astonishing is the
revelation that, at one time during
the low point in the South Pacific
battle, the U. S. navy had only one
aircraft-carrier left undamaged in
