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.

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.

REVEAL FORECLOSURES
Washington. July 8. (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.

toral letter by the Catholic Bis)

The document was framed re
cently at Fulda, an ancient seat
of German culture northeast of

Christianity and the church in
Germany is at stake," the letter

TO BE REDUCED
Jackson county wheat grow
ers can expect a reduction in
their 1942 wheat acreage allot
ments, in accordance with the
national and state allotments an
nounced by the department of
agriculture recently, Fred
Homes, chairman of the county
AAA committee, said yesterday.
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.
