C., under the laws oi Congress, Act of Ma _ ch 3, 187a Every afternoon, Monday through Friday Symbol Os Vast Change Every phase of human life has been revolutionized in the last century. And nowhere have there been more spec tacular changes than in the oldest industry of all—agri culture. One hundred years ago four out cf five people worked at the job of producing raw materials for food, clothing and shelter. Today these basic needs are supplied by just one out of five. And even that doesn’t tell the whole story— for we have far better and more varied foods and other pro ducts of agricultural origin than in past times. This is very largely the result of the application of the machine to farm jobs that were once accomplished slowly and laboriously by hand. It is not an exaggeration to say that, on the modern farm, the machine has displaced la bor. It does the work much more economically and effi ciently than is possible with human muscle. And its use fulness is net imited to the production of crops. The ma chine makes it possible for the farmer to conserve and im prove his soil and to fight successfully against such old natural ravages as floods and erosion. The machine gives more food from fewer acres today, and at the same time assures that the soil will be fertile and productive to mor row. The plow, the seeder, the baler, the cultivator, the tractor, the combine and all the other machines symbolize ''the amazing advances agriculture has made in the span of a long lifetime. And they symbolize, as well, farming’s pre sent-day status as a business and a profession. Excellent Selections Selection of Mrs. Grace Swain as Dunn’s “Woman of The Year’’ and Waite Howard as Dunn's “Man of The Year’’ will meet with hearty approval on the part of all citizens familiar with their good work and service to this tewn and community. Both of these citizens have rendered invaluable ser vice to their town. They give freely of their time and means to every worthwhile cause and movement in the city. The average person would be amazed to know how many hours a week these two citizens give to serving their fellow citizens. % It is neeaess to enumerate their various services and achievements in these columns because they are well known to the pubic. Both of them go far beyond the call of duty and they serve gladly and willingly. We are happy to see this well-deserved recognition come to them and we offer our heartiest congratulations. NEW MUSICAL REVEALS MARCH KING WANTED ONLY TO COMPOSE BALLADS John Philip Soua. America’s most famous bandmaster, was a frustrat ed ballad composer it is revealed in ‘Stars And Stripes Forever," the nostalgic band-musicial which Twentieth Centurv-Fox has pro duced in Techn’color and to be presented at the Stewart Theatre Sunday. Monday and Tuesday. In the picture, which traces the life of the immortal "March King,” two of Sousd's little known ballads are played. 'Oh.

Despite the experience thereby gained cn matters feminine, those heroes of our bureaucracy at this moment are investigating the mil linery trade. You could have knocked me over with a grosg.ained ribbon and stuf fed me in a felt cloche when I learned cf their temerity Investi gating milliners is only the begin ning. On Thursday the commissioners are calling the architects cf female hats into Washington for a con ference to draw up fair-play regu lations tor the millinery industry. Fervently, I wish the commission ers luck. I have had some dealings with milliner-., myself, and I fur ther hope the gentlemen escape without getting their faces clawed. There are some man milliners in the business and I guess maybe the Federal lawyers can talk to them reasonably. But most milliners are ladles and so a-e their erstomers and ary man who tangles with them is Inviting mayhem. I V-now abort this bera”se I cnce bcught mv b r ide a hat from a large, large milliner with bansles on her ears and a gleam in her ev*. she indicated that a man Whc’d walk alone i"to he” nlush llned emporium to lock at hats wa a fed.

Pre g and brown hair and if she igp ce-ld p-edree a mcdel of these reification? I’d like to see he- try d qn *ome hats. . The milliner brought in a young first sung in a small theatre in Washington. D. C.. the singer was given the hook because the audience demanded the next act. which hap pened to be "Matt Morgan's Living Picture's.” a tableaux of the meeting of Caesar and Cleopatra. One of Sousa's most famous marches, "Semper Fidelis" be gan as a ballad but when the band leader sang ft for his wife she play ed it faster and faster on the piano and it came out in march tempo. Later it became “Semper Fidelis.” Six of the bandmaster's famous marches form the musical background in the film. Clifton Webb is Sousa in “Stars And Stripes Forever” and Ruth Hussey plays his wife, Jennie. : iudy who actually did lock a gooc. deal like my bride. She also was inclined to sneer, but she starred putting cn hats. Mostly they looked funny, but- I am no dope. I kept my mouth shut. I suggested this also would be wise policy fer the Federal Trade Commissioners. Eventually the milliner put on the mcdel a hat that looked elegant , to me. except for a long pink fea ther. I said I'd take it, if the ladies would give me a better looking feather. That made ’em so e. They said what was wrong with their : pink feather? I said I thought it was silly. They said if I was so smart. I could Cheese .my own feather: They tcck me down the cellar to t’-e feather department and there in a bin I picked a gray ostrich plume. The boss milliner said this was no gccd. I said I wanted it. We glared at e3ch othe". . She gave in and I got the hat with the aray feather. It was a fight, but I get it. Nice-lcoking hat. tco. I figured the wav milliners inflated their prices, this one was worth about $lO. I said wrap it up. It came in a magnificent box, cov ered with expensive wallpaper. So old big-shot me. casually ask ed at this juncture, what wa3 the price? The milliner, smiling so: the first time, said $45. Well, sir, as I rev. I am a coward. I paid. I brought this hat home and presented it to M-s. 0.. b t I never did tell her whet :'t cost. Sh- said it was the most beau tiful hat she ever owned. She wore It twice and after a year o- so of net seeing It in use. I a*ked Hilda had happened to my hat. Sh« said it was out of sty’e. She raid in fart, that it 'vas a’most out of style when I bought It. S You see what I mean, c/’mmiss- These Days DUE PROCESS OF THE LAW Freedom of thought, speech and expression are guaranteed by the American Constitution: freedom to steal is permissible nowhere. In the case of the spies, the Rosenbergs, their crimes were treason and theft. Advocates of the spies even sought to find a moral basis for stealing. Thousands of letters, telegrams and telephone calls came to Judge Irving Kaufman of the United States District Court in New York from agitated persons, in court, the Rosenbergs' lawyer put on a melodramatic show designed to melt the heart of the judge. One might melt over a youth caught stealing his first car. but never over a spy. The Rosenbergs were convicted by due process of the law. They had 21 months of stays and ap peals. They may still try the Presi dent of the United States for what they call justice. As Judge Kauf man said in his decision: justice is what they got. They cannot get themselves to ask for mercy, for being Marxists, they must be atheists. Mercy come from God. A Communist does not put his trust in God but in Stalin. About 5,000 letters. I understand, were written in response to a soli citation by counsel for the Roser.- bergs. This lawyer, an officer of the court, who should put his faith in the American system of juris prudence. seeks to put pressure on the court, to frighten the judge, by asking prominent persons, par ticularly those with a penchant for publicity, to write the judge with out having read the evidence or even the judge's decision It is a mazing how easy it is to get some people to sign their name to any thing. Irving Kaufman Is a fine jurist with a capacity for philosophy and a reaching for fundamental moral principles. He is a Jew by religion and if that matters at all, it is that the moral basis for conduct is, for him. steeped in the law’s of God. Deeply American, he could say with emotions arising out of his own life: “The defendants were born in America, reared in America . and educated in the public schools of America. They had lived their en tire lives among us; they had all the advantages of our free institu tions and had enjoyed the privi leges of American citizenship. They have been allowed to progress and develop in freedom and self respect. As citizens of America, being numbered as one of us, they chose the path of traitors and de cided to abandon those who had nurtured and fed them in favor of a nation whose ideology was re pugnant to everything we have learned, lived for and to which we have been dedicated ...." Everything has been tried by the Rosenbergs except the only step that can justify their existence as human beings: they have never confessed; they have shown no contrition; they have not been penitent. They have been arro gant end tight-lipped. Their counsel has pled that the judge have mercy on their child ren. But they have forgotten mercy for their own children. They have imperiled their children’s lives. They have brought such disgrace upon them, sinning without a thought that such disregard for human decency embarrasses chil dren who suffer more than the par ents do. What is the name for a son of a spy? Did Julius Rosenberg think of that when he headed a syndi cate of scoundrels to steal from his native land its most guarded mili tary secret? He forgot his children when he negotiated with the Russ ians. He and his wife. Jsthel, were not, as Judge Kaufman points but, “minor espionage agents; they were on the top rung of this con spiracy .... He was always the principal recruiter for scientists ar.d technicians and the guiding soibit of the conspirators. And at all times Ethel Rosenberg, older in years, and wise in Communist doctrine, aided and abetted and advised her husband." It is impossible to forgive these spies; it would be possible to com mute their sentences, if they told the story fully, more than we now know even after these trials. They can f still serve America by revealing the nature of this plot, its instiga tion, how much was spent on it. wh opaid the expenses, how the money was transmitted. Klaus Fauchs confessed. David Green glass confessed. Harry Gold con fessed. The Rosenbergs remain ad amant in their loyalty to the devil, Joe Stalin. Then let them go to the devil. loners? A mere man hasn’t got a chance with a milliner. I bellevj you’d be wise to forget this cn* but if you insist on goT.g through with it. I wish vbu’d check on the item,'namely: has any woman anv where. aside from Mine Fanny Per kins. the one-time Secretary of La bor. ever worn the same hat me- - than, one season? If not, why not?

On the surface the American Ln > terprise Association has the lofty : gcal of educating membe s of Con gress regarding legislation on a non-partisan basis. The theory is ! that the hard-pressed legislator ’ doesn’t have time to study every ’ bill; therefore the American En ' terprise Association summarizes and interprets them. If the interpre tation were strictly nonpartisan, ’ this would be excellent. But one look at the conservative if not re j actionary gentlemen behind the en terprise Association gives away the . real goal. 1 Another giveaway came from • James O'Connor Roberts, who for a time wrote the daily digests of ■ laws, and who claimed that while - he was doing them they were im : partial. However, when Sinclair r Weeks became president, Roberts i quit. "I was told,” Robert said, “that 1 I could no longer have control of the questions.

Crane Our courts should distinguish be tween the various degrees of rape, just as they differentiate between first and second degree murder. These fool women who frequent taverns and date strange men, should be called accessories to the crime of rape, if their half drunken companions later assault them. Case F-361: Irene M., aged 20, works as a clerk in a dime store. “I want you to arrest two men for assaulting me,” she telephoned one of our Chicago police stations recently. A squad car was immediately dis patched to her rooming house. The police officers learned that she had accepted a pick-up date in a tavern the previous night. She said she had accepted a few drinks from the men before she left the tavern. But they were total strangers! Then they all decided to visit an other tavern, where all three of them drank some more liquor. Fin ally, her two escorts suggested taking a drive through our Forest Preserve. It ended in a deserted region where she was assaulted by both men. She described the latter to the police, who soon arrested them. They are to be tried for rape. And Irene is very indignant over her mistreatment. If Irene had been a bank mess enger, however, with a large sum of money in a satchel which she was carrying, wouldn’t- she have been stupid to have accepted a date with two strange men? And if, after foolishly accepting such a date with them, she had then consumed their liquor and even accompanied them to a sec ond whiskey joint for more alcohol, what would society think if she then woke up to find the bank's money stolen? The men would still be legally culpable of theft, in that event, but wouldn't she be almost as guilty? By her fool behavior and lack of horse sense, she should be considered an accessory to the crime.
