Huge Farm Bill Heads To White House Reforming War Agencies
The Farm Bill moves to the White House after clearing $2.936 billion in War Agencies funding with one disputed amendment. It trims OPA to 155 million and OWI to 33.22 million, limits OWT, and sets 420 million for soil conservation payments with a 300 million cap for the 144 crop. Parity payments end for 1944 crops, while rural rehabilitation and tenant loan programs receive 320 million and related borrowing authority. Funds must be spent under the War Food Administration.

Major Allen Smith Sees Judo Battle Training Edge
Major Allen Smith longtime New York State Police trainer in Troop G at The Hotel Troy argues judo is a parlor pastime next to battlefield fighting. He spent 11 years in Japan learning jui jitsu and taught troops in World War I. In camp Hood and southern posts he demonstrates battle fighting focusing on quick footwork crippling kicks and rear chokes. He says three months training can beat a week of battle training and describes battle wrestling as a harsher, more realistic workout than boxing.
