C„ June 28.— fNWNS)—The biggest feather in the government’s cap, so far as war activities on the domestic front are concerned, is the mar velous production record of in dustry. But, although the gov ernment leaders naturally use these production figures with a boastful “look what we did” at titude — any fair-minded person must admit that it is industry and not government which is responsible for these amazing records. Hie President can take credit for having picked the right men for the war production job—hav ing appointed outstanding in dustrial leaders -who had proved their ability to perform produc tion miracles and having picked them without regard to their pol itics or their opinion of the New Deal. But, unfortunately, the leaders of most other war agen cies were chosen because of their politics, and politics is therefore playing an increasingly important role in wartime activities. Some of the more gloomy of the news analysts here fully ex pect many of our leading war agencies to fall to pieces. They think that the Office of Price Administration has become an of fice of such confusion and polit ical battling that it will soon ex plode and that prices .and dis tribution of food and merchandise will get entirely out of control. They predict the days are num bered for the Office of War In formation and are encouraged in this viewpoint by the refusal of the house of representatives to provide funds for OWI’s domestic operations. And they say that the food agencies have so bungled the handling of farm problems that the people will demand drastic ■ » changes in the personnel and op eration of these agencies. Although Prentiss Brown, head of the OPA, expects to keep food prices from rising by the use of subsidies, the house of represen tatives showed its strong antago nism to this plan when it voted. 160 to 106, to discontinue the sub sidy plan. This vote was in the nature of a revolt by the house, since the President had made it clear that he was all for the sub sidy program. The President had said that even if subsidies cost $2,000,000,000 it would be cheap compared with the cost of rising prices. However, the suggestion that billions of federal funds be hand ed out to keep prices in line came at a bad time—for it fol lowed-immediately upon the heels of the passage of pay-as-you-go taxation and the demand of treasury for v a large new tax bill. The public has made it clear to its congressmen that it will not tolerate higher taxes if it sees tax money being wasted. And every congressman knows that the only people who favor sub sidies are those who get a share of them. The fact that it is going to re quire 10,000 to 15,000 more em ployees in the treasury to handle pay-as-you-go taxes also does not set well with the people when they know that they are about to be asked for mpre tax money. Al though a new tax bill will un doubtedly be put through before the end of \the year, it seems likely here that congress will first insist on a lot of government e- conomies before it will vote for any increase. The treasury still opposes forced savings although it is apt to re verse its attitude on this if there Closing Notice We, the undersigned merchants and business men of the City of McCormick, S.

Cowpeas, soybeans, and sudan grass are the best crop:; suitable for summer and fall grazing. One acre of either of these eropv should be provided for each three to five hundred hens. A good graz ing crop will save 10 per cent or more of the feed bill, help to con trol such vices as picking, and is a good sanitation measure. Green feed is more important now than ever before, since all poultry feeds contain a much low er percentage of animal protein and a high percentage of plant protein than in former years. These plant proteins do not sup ply the quantity of vitamins and minerals as do animal proteins. A good green range is one of the poultrymen’s best assurances of avoiding nutritional trouble in growing chicks and laying hens. If an abundance of green feed aiid sunshine is supplied, almost any kind of feed can be used with reasonable success. Matilda Bell, Co. Home Dem. Agent. X week.
