8, UP). Some 20,000 men, women and youths donned overalls this summer and went to work in Pennsylvania harvest fields in response to farmers' warnings that lack of help threatened to reduce production of badly needed food. As the State's farm labor place ment program neared its windup, M. Fry, director of agriculture and home economics extension at the Pennsylvania State College, declared today: "Many crops could not have been harvested without this help. Farmers feel the service has been.

very satisfactory, on the whole and appreciate the assistance." The program is directed by the extension service under a Federal act which expires this year unless renewed by Congress. Fry said some 500 extra work ers still were enrolled in work camps over the State although many of school age gave up their jobs to return to classrooms with the opening of fall semesters. An undetermined number, he said, obtained work permits and plan to delay returning to school until after the camps close next month. A work camp in Franklin county, employing more than 100 workers, and another in Bucks county, where 35 Negroes were enrolled, closed last week. New camps in Potter and Franklin counties will open soon for short periods to harvest late crops.

Explaining eight camps were the most in operation at any one time, Fry said "the number of camps, did not measure up to the original plan because dry weather reduced yields of crops." He added: "However, they have been very helpful in harvesting important crops like beans, tomatoes, apples and potatoes where harvesting re quirements call for a large quantity of labor for short periods of time. "Most farmers feel they have been very helpful. At first some farmers had a negative attitude but after a week or two they found these workers were very satis factory."

In the peace that will follow this war, Americans will have to decide whether to strip down their military machine and build another should war come again, or maintain some part of that machine so as not to be caught napping in case of another sneak attack as Pearl Harbor.

Since it has been proven that, given the time, America can build a mighty and invincible Army, future wars would very likely start with sudden, devastating and unexpected enemy attacks from the air on our key cities so as to Heart Attack Fatal to Man in County Jail Emanuel L. Price, 52, 14ife Cowden street, died at 6.50 a. in the Dauphin county prison of a heart attack, Dr. Earl H. Grim, Dauphin county coroner, reported.

FARRINGTON A strong indication of what, kind of a world we expect to live in after the war should pop out of the discussion over compulsory military training in peacetime Representative Andrew J.

May (D. Ky) has promised to intro duce a bill when Congress recon venes this month requiring every able bodied male between 17 and 21 to take a year's military train, ing. The fate of such a bill would attract great interest both here and abroad as unmistakable evi dence of whether the United States intends to be prepared to fight again if necessary or is go ing to lapse into the pacifist role she adopted after the last war. Following the Armistice in 1918, similar bills were prepared but strong pacifist sentiment sweeping the country foredoomed them to failure. With the war won and 3000 miles of ocean protecting us from Europe's problems, people felt a big Army was unnecessary, that the peace was permanent.

Super bombers that can fly half paralyze our effort before it be gan. About 1,000,000 youths a year would have to take military train ing as soon as they left high school, under May's plan. They would be in the Army a year, but could keep up their studies so as to go right into college without difficulty when their time was up. Under this program a reserve of 10,000,000 men could be built up in 10 or 15 years, to be quickly mobilized for service if neces sary. inis reserve would do away with the alternative of a huge standing Army which has never appealed to unmilitaristic Amer ica.

May believes that a regular Army of 500,000 (double the 1939 strength) would be enough. Nearly every country in Europe and South America had some form of compulsory military serv ice before the war. Switzerland's system offers an example of how a small army can be expanded rapidly. All men from 18 to 60 are subject to between 88 and 102 days of military There are few exceptions and those excused or rejected pay certain taxes in lieu of service. After the first year's service, the men are called up for 11 days annually for seven years, then go on the reserves.

Normally, 46,000 men are being trained in the Swiss military es tablishment. When war broke out 650,000 men were mobilized. Whether May plan succeeds or fails will not in itself point to the post war path the United States intends to follow. The dis cussion, however, will smoke out public sentiment and afford a key as to whether in the middle of one war, people are ready to contemplate its successor.

7, (IP) The Navy disclosed today that of the more than 90 enemy Boats sunk during May, June and July, 29 were destroyed by American forces alone. Twenty four of the submarines were sent to the bottom by American Naval forces, the Navy said, and five were sunk by United States Army aircraft. The Navy's disclosure came shortly after Secretary Knox told newsmen that although the sub marine menace may appear to be less serious than a few months ago, the lack of enemy activity may be because Germany has withdrawn many Boats to bases for repairs and refitting with additional anti aircraft weapons before launching new attacks. President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill reported recently that nations fighting the Axis had sunk more than 90 submarines in May, June and July. The Navy's announcement today failed to locate the actions.

In addition to the 29 boats destroyed by U. S. forces, at least three additional undersea craft, and probably others, were sunk by United States forces co ordinating their attacks with craft of other United Nations, and by other American operations, the Navy said. The Navy said only "positive sinkings" were included in its compilation, adding that probable and possible sinkings, were pur posely omitted. Knox had earlier discussed the apparent temporary withdrawal of the Bbats to the press.

The PUC declared yesterday the smaller boost was favored since "tne recora supports tne contention of the carriers for the need of additional revenue in order to meet increased operating costs and guarantee the continuance of this 'important part" of the vital wartime transportation." The Interstate Commerce Commission also refused to approve the 10 per cent, hike for between state shipments and agreed a four per cent, advance would be "just and reasonable." The proposed new rates were to have become effective April 12, 1943, but the operative date was postponed. In a statement the PUC said a parity between interstate and intrastate shipments was maintained to avoid confusion. PUC Commissioner Thomas C. Buchanan dissented from the ruling saying the order "invites a four per cent, increase in intrastate truck load rates in certain areas of Pennsylvania."

He made the statement in reply to a query from the Philadelphia Tavern Association which asked why the stores had "apparently endless supply of Kinsey" although inadequate supplies of other brands. "The board bought all available merchandise from all leading distillers that have been offered," asserted Gelder.
