BROWN Member o f Congress, Seventh Ohio District The largest peace-time naval ap­ propriation in the history o f the country,was passed by the House last week when a bill carrying a total of seven hundred and seventy, million dollars received the approval o f the lower branch o f Congress with but little opposition. Even that amount was a reduction from Ihe original re­ quest made by the Administration, -Undoubtedly the present unsettled European situation was responsible for the huge naval program submit­ ted to Congress, which included pro­ visions for construction of two new super-battleships of forty-five thou­ sand tons each which, when Completed, will be the largest in the world. ’-I t is hoped by the economy minded mem­ bers o f Congress that the crisis in in­ ternational affairs may soon pass and conditions become so settled as to make Unnecessary the spending of all the amounts recently appropriated for national defense. However, it is the general consensus o f opinion in Con­ gress that an adequate national de­ fense is the best insurance America can have against war;'and that the present expenditures fo r armament have been made necessary fo r the the protection o f the American people through no fault o f their own. Suit to collect a $352 commission for serving as intermediary in a farm rental transaction has been billed in common pleas court by B. E. Cline, real estate broker against William B, and Mary Laurens. Cline declared the defendants .first requested him to ascertain the pur­ chase price for 704 acres of land own­ ed by George Meade in Sugarcreek Twp., and when he learned the farm was available for rental but not for sale, they instructed him to find out the rental fee. Through his efforts, the realtor claims, the defendants entered into a rental contract for the farm Dec. 19, 1938, but failed-to pay him an agreed commission at the rate of fifty -cents an acre for the land rented. Judge G. H. Smith represents the plaintiff. Plan Greene. Co. Locker Storage A frozen locker plant, to serve the county and to be located at either Xenia or Yellow Springs, is being pro­ posed by a recently organized com­ mittee composed of representatives o f the Farmers’ Exchange, Farm Bu reau and the Grange o f Greene county and several farmers and townspeople of Yellow Springs. A survey of locker systems in other cities and towns shows that net sav­ ings o f from $40 to $80 a year per family, varying according to the size of the family and market prices, are possible. Contacts in Yellow Springs are in charge o f Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Jacobs, .Tack Drake, Cornelius Grinnell, Richard Johnson and William J. Dettweiler; in Xenia, Ralph Spahr, Arthur Bahns and Raymond Fudge, and in Jamestown, Myrpn Fudge. DIVORCE REQUESTED That the defendant be barred of rights in his property is requested in a divorce suit filed by Ross E. Endsley against Mary E. Endsley, whom he married Dec. 4, 1933 at Elyria, O. He charges wilful absence from hom.e for more than three years, declaring his wife residence is- unknown to him. $1180 Unclaimed From Greene Co. Banks Wm. A. Neeld Named President William A.

A class of about 40 will be graduated. The Youngstown minister will be one of two recipients o f honorary SCHOOL NEWS A number o f weeks ago there was much talk in official circles regarding a reduction o f the Federal tax burden through an over-hauling and revamp­ ing o f the present tax laws. However, that Administration program now Seems to be “ out the window” and instead talk is being heard' from dif­ ferent presumably authoritative sources .as to the necessity of impos­ ing new and. additional tax burdens upon the American people' in order that the New Deal spending program may be continued. Just what form these new taxes may take no one yet knows; but at the present time there is considerable ■agitation 'fo r some new type o f processing taxes similar to those outlawed by the courts in connection with the original AAA. Last January, when Congress con­ vened, suggestions that amendments to the Wages and Hours Act be given consideration were laughed at by Ad­ ministration leaders and the flat state­ ment was made that no attention would be given at this session of Con­ gress to any proposals for the over­ hauling of the Act. Since that time, however, public sentiment in favor of many changes in the Wages and Hours law has developed at such a rapid pace that a few weeks ago New Deal leaders were forced to call com­ mittee hearings to consider amend­ ments to the law. The Labor.Com­ mittee has reported out a bill carry-1 ing a few of the needed changes in the laW, but is attempting to force- stall further needed amendments thru a special rule to prohibit any amend­ ments to the bill being offered from the FI001 of the House. As this is written predictions are being freely made that the next few days will see one of the most bitter fights o f the entire session over the Administra­ tion’s attempt to invoke “ gag rule” in Congress..

Lee says he was a welcome guest as long as he had a job and handed his check over to.h is wife. Mrs. Everhart says when she married Lee he did not have even a shirt, .and she provided one for him. Their troubles have been as numerous here as they are said to have been in Yel­ low Springs.
