SHINGTON
Washington, D. 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

Green ranges have been found
to be high in nutritive value and
to be excellent sources of protein.,
minerals, vitamins A, B, E, and G,
ind undoubtedly other unknown
factors, since the addition of ten
der green foliage often improves
rations that are apparently ade
quate.
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.
