AM articles will be published as soon after receipt as space permits. Staff Sergeant Paul Powell, who has been on a furlough from'the Army to visit his brother Reno Powell, this city, has a record of service in the Army which few local soldiers can boast of. Sergeant Powell, when interviewed here this week, related that he had seen 28 years of continuous service in Uncle Sam's Army. He enlisted in Hagerstown back in 1914, before the United States entered World War I. He saw years of service overseas in the first World War but he liked Army life and did not want to go back to civilian living.

The local soldier stated that he has served in the Philippines in the present World War. The branches he has served in include cavalry, infantry, tanks and now the Army engineers. Last year he was on maneuvers in Tennessee and said he hiked along with the younger men and stood iip -to it even better than some of them. Sergeant Powell wears nine service stripes on -MS sleeve and hopes to be able to get one more before he retires from Army life. He was in Hagerstown.

Word has been received from Pvt. Charles Schroyer that he has arrived safely somewhere in New Guinea. He would like to hear from friends and his address may be obtained from his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd of Smithsburg, or his Mary Jenkins, 236 East Antietam street, whose phone is 3539J.

During the "night Britain arose in eight sections, attacking as many targets which were: An enemy vehicle plant at Lyon, France; an airplane repair plant at an airplane factory and explosive works at Toulouse; signal equipment depot at Chambly near Paris; the Belgian rail centers of St. Ghislain and Mechelen (Malines); the installations at the German chemical center of Ludwigshafen in the upper Rhineland. Mediterranean Command bombers hurled loads of bursting steel on Livorno, Allessandria, La Spezia and Genoa in Italy.

Then by daylight 500 American Liberators and' fighters from Britain flew across a foggy channel and unloaded a powerful freight of explosives on the Pas-de-Calais area nearest Britain's shores, and all returned safely. All afternoon big American formations still were crossing the channel, Marauder bombers among them.

The union, the United Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Employes (CIO), had lump all into one unit. pany had asked that there be four units. Sabath's action forestalled a plan of Democrats Cox-of Georgia and Smith of Virginia to force' the Dewey resolution onto the floor. Cox said he had the signatures of 11 members of the Rules Committee on his. petition for'a special meeting of the group and if Sabath had not released the resolution "we intended to go in 'arid hold a meeting and do it ourselves." Cox criticized Sabath on the floor for reporting the resolution in his own name openly opposing it as "a political move." Sabath asserted he "welcomed the investigation and declared, in fact, that it should be extended to determine why the War Production Board channeled so much business to a mail order house.

Opp. Court House Phone 3320 Washington Merry-Go-Round By Drew Pearson Old Issue of Government Irrigation for Big Landowners Rises Again Washington, May years have elapsed between the big-business battles of Teddy Roosevelt and Cousin FDR, but one issue which plagued the former 'is also plaguing the latter and is now before Congress. It is the question whether Government irrigation, Government water, and Government reclamation shall benefit the big landowner or the small. The issue is now one of the hottest fights both in California and in Congress, where Secretary of the Interior Ickes has been called to testify on a rider which Congressmen Elliott and Carter of California have skilfully smuggled into the rivers and harbors rider permitting big landowners in California's central valley to benefit from Government low- cost irrigation. The question in Teddy Roosevelt's day was whether any farmer holding more than 160 acres should benefit from Government irrigation.

The issue arose when the land kings of the Far West wanted thplr rartrb.es and.specu- lative holdings through irrigation at Government expense. The West was for it, but the East objected. Eastern States claimed they would be footing the tax bill and that Western irrigation would come out of their pockets. The West replied that the irrigation projects of that day would provide benefits for small Eastern farmers who migrated westward tomorrow. After a terrific battle, Teddy Roosevelt won out.

Congress ruled that Government-irrigated land tracts must be limited to 160 acres. That law still stands. But Republican Congressman Carter of Oakland, California, and Democratic Congressman Elliott of Tulare, California, have ganged up to change it with a rider exempting the central valley irrigation project. Their amendment, already passed by the House, would mean that big ranchers in the central valley could benefit from the new irrigation project no matter how extensive their holdings. Even more important, it would mean that a lot of new land, not extensively cultivated at present, would be subjected to cut-throat speculation.

Ickes for Small Farms Secretary of the Interior Jckes, who has supervised the expenditure of $150,000,000 on central valley irrigation, is determined that the benefits shall not go to land speculators and big ranchers, plus some of the big liquor companies which have bought up California wineries. Also, the Interior Department proposes to open some of the land to the use of veterans after the and has found that 160 acres is the ideal size for one-family cultivation. The Issue, according to Secretary Ickes, is whether the U. S. A.

is going to become a nation of large landowners hiring Okies and tenant farmers, or whether the nation feature medium-sized farmers operating their own land. men in the central valley are split over the issue. Many merchants believe that medium-sized farms rather than poorer farm labor make for better business in neighboring towns. The Fresno Chamber of Commerce calls 60 to 80 acres of figs an economic unit for a family, or 80 to 120 acres of alfalfa. The Chamber has sent out booklets 'urging settlers to take up small Soil Projects Are Discussed At Meet Acting upon a request from the Department of the board oC supervisor ot the Soil Conservation Service for Washington county last night began discussions of post-war soil projects ic Washington county, at the regular monthly meeting.

The meeting emphasized plans for community projects that would be held in conjunction with the soil conservation work throughout this vicinity, aimed at halting erosion and harmful planting practices, and restoring to former fertility ground that has been ruined through past neglect. The supervisors were asked 10 submit a report on these projects, with the estimated equipment an-1 laboV needed for their operation, through the State Soil Conservation Service office.
