' Committee to Organize The committee will meet soon , to elect a chairman, consider the j proposition of incorporating, and : work out details in connection : with management of the farm labor program. Lyman Roberts of the FSA reported re-ported the migratory labor camp removed from Thatcher, Ariz., to Provo is now ready for occupancy i and will house 400 workers. This , is Utah's first experience with such a camp and the project ; should prove tremendously im- i portant in the farm labor pro- ! K r am, he- said. ' It was agreed Japanese labor would be most feasible for housing j at the camp, and W. L. Mildenhall, director of the U. S. employment ! office at Provo said his agency j could begin immediately to recruit Japs from the relocation center i at Topaz. j Farmers wishing to employ Japanese should make application I at the employment service office ; at once. The Japs imported will j be housed at the migratory camp , and transportation to and from the farms must be handled locally. It was stated many men are needed on the farms right now to do such tasks as cleaning ditches. Scales to Be Set The group adopted a motion recommending that each farm coop, co-op, such as the berry growers, tomato growers, apple growers, etc., meet just before their crops come on to fix a standard wage scale. Thirty-one persons representing a score of organizations mterestea .in the farm labor program attended attend-ed Wednesday night's session, according ac-cording to S. R. Bosewell, secretary. secre-tary. Ivan Burr, chairman of the .labor committee, presided at the Wednesday meeting. G. Frank Nelson, head of the war board, reported that the farm pledge sign-up is . 75 per cent completed and that farmers are expressing great faith in production of crops and are going ahead to do their part. It is extremely important to arrange for sufficient labor, he declared. H. G. McShane, state farm placement officer; discussed tn reorganization plan for responsibility responsi-bility for supplying labor. He said congress is still undecided as to the responsibilities of the extension ex-tension service, employment service, ser-vice, and FSA. School Men Speak Dr. J. C.

Bad Weather Over Europe Holds Up Anniversary Raid ir- PRIMARY CONFERENCE ON THE GEIiMAN FRONTIER April 2 (U.R)- Amid reports that German foreign minister Joachim Von Ribbentrop's standing in the Nazi regime is extremely shaky, it was learned reliably today that the German secret police last December purged a number of officials of-ficials in the foreign office, the air ministry and the ministry or economics for furnishng information informa-tion to the enemy. All of the officials, who included includ-ed Hans Von Schelicha, first secretary sec-retary of the German embassy m Warsaw before hte war. ere hanged according to Nazi custom in such cases. Von Schelicha was a close friend of Hans Von Moltke, German ambassador to Spain; whose death at Madrid of appen dicitis was announced the other day At that time, Stockholm reports tended to tie up announcement announce-ment of Von Moltke's death with an impending shapeup in the German Ger-man foreign ofice, but there was, no reason to believe, in the information in-formation learned today, that it was connected with the executions that took place four months ago. It was understood that officials hanged by Heinrich Himmler's Gestapo comprised an opposition ring that operated against the Nazis even before the war. Since .the outbreak of hostilities they were said to have relayed informa-t informa-t Rritain bv a secret radio transmitter, voluntarily and not as pjrtd spies. ) ci farm boys and girls who go into the fields to work.

Weight, Provo high schSofT principal and a farm laoor supervisor super-visor last summer, reported experiences ex-periences of the past gained last year and submitted a written list of recommendations for this year. W. J. O'Bryant of the sugar company paid high tribute to the work by the Provo girls and boys who thinned beets under Mr. Weight's direction. H. R. Doremus of the employment employ-ment service said the mines have fir,st draft on labor with the farms second and the defense plants third. All workers employed by these groups are cleared through the employment office, and all those with farm experience are being sent to the farms, he said. He pointed out that the need for men at the steel plant is not so acute now and that some 900 have returned to the farms from the plant in the last 30 days. Harley W. Bartlett, manager of the migratory farm labor camp, expressed a need fer beds, bedding, bed-ding, and cooking equipment at the camp. LeRoy Johnson, execuh tive secretary of the state labor advisory committee reported the state had been 'given a lot of CCC equipment and he would confer with the governor to see if some of this could be made available. The newly-appointed countv farm labor management eronn will meet with Mr. Johnson later in the week to further discuss the matter. Upon suggestion of Mr. Boswell me group considered whether a request should be made to make the migratory camp of a perman-' ent or semi-permanent nature. No decision was reached . LONDON, April 2 (U.R) Bad weather over Europe last night prevented the Royal Air force from winding up its 25th anniversary anniver-sary celebration with another block-buster raid on Germany. The only RAF birthday raids were daylight attacks yesterday on railway targets in western Ger-mar, Ger-mar, France and Belgium. Four planes were lost. A flight of Swift mosquito-bombers mosquito-bombers swept 350 miles across occupied France into western Germany Ger-many to pound the railway workshops work-shops at Trier and the railway yards at Ehrang. Bombs fused to explode with a few seconds delay were dropped from altitudes of only 50 to 200 feet on Trier and sheets of yellow flame were seen to mushroom smoke 100 feet in the air as the raiders left. At Ehrnag, a terrific explosion indicated a gasoline dump may have been hit. Flames, and smoke shot nearly 1,000 in the air. Payson Red Cross IVlan Army Captain Primary conference will be held in the Second ward chapel Sunday evening at 6:30 o'clock, the entire program to be presented by the children. Teachers are anxious to have the children meet at the church promptly at 6:15 o'clock. LONDON. April 1, (U.R) British and American planes rocked Adolf Hitler's European fortress with a record 15,000 tons of bombs last month, it was estimated today, but weather last night prevented the Royal Air Force from ushering in its .25th anniversary with another an-other block-buster raid on Germany. Ger-many. Anniveisary messages were pouring in on the RAF around the world. King George , VI congratulated con-gratulated his airmen on achieving achiev-ing "clear ascendancy over our enemies" and said the RFA was now "powerful and well-armed with its squadrons everywhere deployed for the attack." From Soviet Air Marshal Alexander Alex-ander Novickov came an' expression expres-sion of hope that the "ever-in- Vincent Promoted To Rank of Major Dale Vincent, formerly of Provo, has been promoted from captain to the rank of major.

To utilize this higher power a four-bladed four-bladed propeller, with electrically controlled pitch and combining all the features of two three-bladed propellers which rotate in opposite oppo-site directions, has been perfected. Jan C. Smuts of South Africa and Polish Premier Wladislaw Sikor-ski Sikor-ski wired in similar vein. Though the RAF's powerful bomber command was grounded during the night, American flying fortresses from the 8th U. S. air force rounded out the heaviest Allied bombing month of the war with a daylight raid yesterday on the German-occupied Duitch port of Rotterdam. PAYSON Mrs. Stanley Wilson received word Wednesday from her husband, who has been serv ing as a Red Cross recreation supervisor su-pervisor in China with the Amer ican armed forces, that he has been assimilated to temporary grade of captain in the U. S. army to date from Feb. 15, 1943 for the .duration of . the . war. He will continue to carry on Red Cross recreation work as a special service branch in the army and will be subject to army regulations regu-lations and privileges. He was a member of Payson city council when he left here last fall for a position in the army with the American Red Cross work where he served first in India and was then sent to China. . He had served as Payson city recreational director for several years, was coach at Payson high school and physical education director di-rector at Payson junior high schooL- Eight Air Force Cadets to Leave According to latest reports from Professor Joseph K.
