METWOTTO TATT; TRTRUNE. MEDFOTTO. OT?EOONT. TUESDAY. JULY 9. 1941. PACE nvi WARDEN LEWIS IMS, TAMER OF SING SING, C 11 Da L D J 4; onidii onusn naras on vonuneni v Seen Good Strategy While Hitler Extremely Busy in Russian Putsch Br Dewitt MacKentie Associated Press Analyst With the swelling of the great battles along the Stalin line, British newspapers are demanding that England Invade the con tinent while Hitler is preoccupied with his Russian conquest. Such a suggestion must create i considerable apprehension among allied supporters (or so it seems to me) until it is made clear that no big-scale operation of this sort is intended. Could Do Much Damage Quite another story might grow out of the adventure of comparatively small British de scents along the continental coast for quick raids. Take, for illustration, the great German base at the port of Brest where, incidentally, the nazi battleships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau have been tied up. That would be a hard nut to crack, but a carefully prepared raiding expedition might be able to do great damage and make a get-away. Multiply this raid by many at other places and you have something worth while both materially and as regards enemy morale. The anxiety of Britons to get ahead with the titantie job they have on hand is quite under standable. Still, they must bide their time to try to take Herr Hitler's measure by wholesale invasion. Other Important Motm If the allies are eager for land offensives there Is plenty of opportunity in the crucial Mid dle and Near East. The campaign against Italian Libya, for ins tance, is crying out for liquids tion. There are the important Syrian and Iraq campaigns to be finished quickly to safeguard allied interests against the nazls in event they defeat Russia. Then too, India must be pre pared for possible action a col ossal Job which must be done on the jump. One of the immediate results of the German attack on Rus sia has been to transform India into a pivotal point for British Imperial defense and offense. The position of Hindustan is of such vast strategical importance that we must keep an eye on de velopments there if we are to understand the possibilities of this new Hit;erian thrust to the east. India Supply Center Actually India for months not only has been a first rank pro ducer of essential supplies but also a coordinating center for Imperial necessities. But this great empire now has become more than a supply center. With each stride that the Hitlerites take Into Russia, the likelihood increases that India will become the focal point of military oper ations, both offensive and de fensive. If the Germans are successful In overrunning western Russia, they will be In position not only to strike at the British Middle Eastern interests through Iran and Iraq, but to undertake an expedition against India itself a German dream that is gener ations old. There also always Is the danger of an attack on India by Japan. As long ago as the World war I found during an extensive tour of India that the Japanese longings for the treasures of Hindustan were high on the horizon. 4.000 liTCARS and said it was Intended to re veal "the real situation of the church." AAA BENEFITS PAID TO JQ STORE EXCESS Osslnlng. N. Y.. July 8. (IP) On a bleak winter day 21 years ago an automobile bear ing a grlm-visaged passenger drove through the grounds of a great cluster of gray buildings on the Hudson river. It was the Christmas season and although New Year's eve was near, the man in the car was far from gay. He was Lewis E. Lawes and the scene was Sing Sing prison. where he was about to become the new warden. His mission to tame the riot- wracked prison where some times there were as many as 20 crush-outs a year was a tough one, but the tall husky warden fulfilled it. Now, at 57 he is retiring. Behind him is a record of 36 years of service in New York state penal institutions and 21 years at Sing Sing. He submitted his resignation Thursday to John A. Lyons, state commissioner of correction, asking that his retirement be come effective July 16, when he will be eligible for a pension of $6,000 a year. Robert J. Klrby, principal keeper at the state prison at At tica, N. Y., was named warden of Sing Sing today, succeeding Lawes. BY S. P. CO.

(IP) Insurance companies and feder al land banks topped a list of big benefit payments the agri culture department reported to day it had made to farm opera tors for complying with major phases of 1939 crop control pro grams. The largest single payment $133,191 went to the Pruden tial Insurance Company of America at Newark, N. J. The second biggest was $96,332 paid the Metropolitan Life Insurance company, of New York. The fed eral land bank of Omaha. Neb., was close behind with a $94, 963 payment. Eleven other in surance companies received in excess of $35,000. Officials explained these large payments reflected immense holdings of farmland and insur ance concerns and banks had ac quired through investments and foreclosures, the latter coming about during the post-World war depression. Market Price Higher Than Loan Value Seen by AAA County Chairman. Berlin, July 8. UP) A pas toral letter by the Catholic Bis) ops of Greater Germany charges that "some forces presently are working to dissolve the union between Christ and the German people." The letter of protest against "restraints and limitations" on "free expression of faith and re ligious church life" was read yesterday in Catholic churches throughout Germany. The document was framed re cently at Fulda, an ancient seat of German culture northeast of Frankfurt, "at the grave of St. Boniface." apostle of Germany who was martyred nearly 12 centuries ago. "Existence or non-existence of Christianity and the church in Germany is at stake," the letter declared. Official as well as authorized government sources declined to comment.

The national allotment of 55 million acres for 1942 is the same as the 1939 allotment, and is 7 million acres smaller than the 1941 allotment. The state allotment is 756,281 acres. The allotment is based on adequate supplies of wheat for domestic consumption, exports and re serves. Reduction in wheat acre age to prevent piling-up of heavy surpluses was necessary in view of a prospective carry over of around 500 million bush els on July 1, 1942. Acreage figures for each coun ty, based on the lowered nation al and stale allotment, have been worked out by the state AAA committee. The county committee is proceeding with preparation of individual farm acreage allotments for Jackson county. The 1942 acreage allotment for Jackson county is 5,785 acres.

Foreseeing a market price higher than the loan value for wheat before the first of the year if marketing quotas are successful in keeping surplus wheat off the market, Fred Homes, chairman of the county AAA committee, advises wheat growers who will have excess wheat under marketing quota provisions to store the excess wheat as the most desirable method of handling it. Pointing out that the purpose of marketing quotas Is to keep the surplus off the market. Homes stated that payment of penalties and subsequent mark eting of the excess wheat by the grower would defeat the pur pose of quotas. Growers that store their ex cess wheat may obtain a loan on this wheat at 60 per cent of the regular loan rate, provided they fulfill one of four condi tions, the chairman said. These conditions are given as follows: Deposit of an acceptable bond with the treasurer of the coun ty committee to secure payment of the - penalty on the excess wheat. This bond must be in an amount equal to 49c a bushel for each bushel of excess wheat to be placed under loan. Deposit with the treasurer of the county committee funds In payment of the penalty or to be held In escrow as the producer elects. Name the treasurer of the United States, in care of the county committee, as payee In the loan documents for the amount of the penalty, such amount to be used In payment of the penalty to be held In escrow as the producer elects. Deposit with the treasurer of the county committee additional warehouse receipts covering an additional amount of wheat equal to the marketing quota ex cess. These receipts will be held in escrow. Fulfillment of any one of these four conditions will allow the producer to receive the 60 percent loan on his marketing quota excess. Homes said. How ever, he warned growers that storage of the excess under loan does not take it out of the pro ducer's hands, but rather defers payment of the penalty and gives the producer a chance to bring his operations Into line with marketing quota provisions without an immediate cash outlay.
