This number was sufficient to offset net lolsses of workers of military age from farms during the last half of 1942, so that the number of such farm workers in July of this year was the same as the number a year earlier. The report indicates that the drain on farm workers to the armed forces and war industries, which was very heavy until about the end of 1942, had been largely checked by the middle of this year, despite an increase in the armed forces of over 5 million during the preceding- 12 months.

Utah is among the 44 states whose plans have been approved and is receiving its share of these appropriations.

He has been called the greatest intellect in the Senate. I believe he wants to steer America back to permanent prosperity such as is possible only under the Private Enterprise system, and I believe he knows how. It will not likely take his committee long to foretell calamities that will result if today's restraints on the petroleum in' dustry are continued. 4 ' OPA On Defensive Rep. Wesley E. Disney of Oklahoma quoted some figures to the House of Representatives on July 8 S i which made the oil industry's restraints clearly understandable. "The nation is rapidly approaching ir e a oil shortage," he said. Then he declared that only one agency remains complacent in the face of grave public concern; only the OPA opposes the idea that America should safeguard its oil supply by maintaining prices in keeping with the cost of obtaining supply. A serious oil shortage, even though V: it came after the complete defeat of America's enemies, would be the next worse thing to losing the war.

Too Many Cooks That homely proverb, "Many, cooks spoil the broth," might serve as a terse review of a masterful report (Senate Document No. 66) off the press June 18. It has to do with Federal Personnel ; prepared by the Joint Committee on Reduction of Nonessential Federal Expenditures of which Sen. Harry F. Byrd of Virginia is chairman. This committee's activities to the end that representative, constitutional government shall not perish from the earth are reassuring to every American who loves his country. The Byrd Committee recommends bluntly in Document No. 66 that all departments and agencies of the federal government promptly reduce personnel by 300,000 persons. It sounds like a lot. It's the equivalent of ten army divisions, but it is only 10 percent of the federal government's 3,000,000 civilian employees, more than half of whom don't have anything to do with the war efcivilfort. These government-pai- d ians amount to one for every 45 other civilians in the country one federal employee for every eleven families in the United States! Income taxpayers' hats off to Byrd.

The other would prohibit appointing any member of Congress to office during the term for which he was elected, and for two years thereafter. The calm Texan offered one more of his rich contributions to the cause of Democracy. What the people's representatives have done recently, giving the nation cause to rejoice, is not a story to be told in a column; these are only a few examples. Some say that Berlin laughs and London shudders when our Congress opposes the Executive Department, friend and foe both calling it "the weakness of democracy." There is a short answer for that one: Congress makes our government a democracy and it's up to Congress to keep it so. May the democratic mule continue to kick at every autocratic shadow that falls across his path, whether at home or abroad. -- ' OPA Sets Apple Ceiling Prices Apples for home consumption will sell at a season's national retail average of between 10 and 11 cents a pound. Maximum prices for apples were set recently as one of the first steps in OPA's program to extend control over the prices of fresh, fruits and vegetables to keep down the cost of living. As in the case of eggs, prices will vary by the month to reflect majority requirement for passing a law over the President's two-thir- " ; ; Can Get Needed Shoes j Children who wear out or outgrow their shoes at a particularly fast rate and adults with ext-shoe requirements need not sufft'; hardship because of the longer shoe ration period, announced rec ently by OPA.
