OFTEN IT IS OF MORE SIGNIFICANCE TO YOU, SIXTY-SECOND YEAR NO. 13 CEDARVILLE, OHIO, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24,1939 PRICE, |1.50 A YEAR CONGRESSIONAL HAPPENINGSIN WASHINGTON By CLARENCE J, BROWN Member o f Congress, Seventh Ohio District The President is on board a cruiser down in the Caribbean Seas watching the greater part of both the Atlantic and Pacific Fleets participate in the annual war gamese. He is expecting to return to Washington March 4th. In the meantime, the battle goes on, especially in the Senate, over the President’s foreign policy and special privileges given to France and Eng­ land in connection with the purchase of planes and other military equip­ ment in this country. Last week Sec­ retary Morgenthau and Secretary Woodririg testified before the Senate Committee that the French Military Mission had been furnished military .ininformation and assistance on direct on direct orders from the President. High ranking military officials testi- ficd the information was ordered given by the President over their objections. PARTITION ORDERED A writ o f partition was ordered by common pleas court after a petition^ containing this, vequset, was filed by Oscar J. Adams, as guardian o f Wil­ liam C, and Charles G. Adams, minors, against Oscar J. Adams. The suit, filed thorugh Attorney Morris D, Rice, declared the plaintiff's wards each own a one-fourth interest in Osborn real estate. The court named H. R. Kendig, 0 . B. Kauffman and F. C. Massey as commissioners for partition of the property. By vote of 367 to 15 the House last week passed a drastically reduced National Defense Bill. The Bill as reported by the Military Affairs Com­ mittee, and passed by the House, after reductions, provides for the building o f 3032 additional air planes within the next three years. This will bring the United States air force up to 5500 planes. Originally / Mr. Roosevelt asked for a to ta l/o f 10,000 planes. The Republican—attempts to provide that not over a thousand new planes should be manufactured each year was defeated on the Floor of'" the House. Another attempt to write in the Bill a call for an international disarm­ ament cohferenpe was ruled out on a . point of order. . Congress also ap­ proved an appropriation for the strengthening o f the defense o f the Panama Cantal as included in the Bill. However, before the final vote; was taken, members o f the Congress made clear they were supporting the measure only for the purpose o f.d e ­ fending‘our own country—and not for the waging o f an aggressive- or foreign war. CITATION ISSUED Upon motion o f Sara Delscamp, plaintiff in a suit against Olive Haas, a contempt citation, returnable Feb­ ruary 20, was issued against the de­ fendant far failure to comply with a former court judgment relating to removal o f locks from gates and other obstructions from the right-of-way subject to litigation.

It is understood the new engineer contemplates no change in office per­ sonnel, however, retaining Ackerman as deputy and W. P. McKay draftsman. Democratic leaders in Congress, both in the House and Senate, are hav­ ing their troubles these days. Mem­ bers o f Congress have demonstrated an independence in their voting that has proven almost shocking to the administration. For the first time in six years many o f them are not taking orders from the White House. Some are voting in direct opposition to the President’s request. Others simply remain off the Floor and fail to vote in favor o f the New-Deal pro­ gram. The insurrection had grown to stich proportion by last week that the leaders called a caucus o f all Demo­ cratic members, where oratory was used in urging support of president­ ial policies, and full attendance at ses­ sions o f Congress, and votes in sup­ port o f the leadership. Numerous arguments developed iri the caucus and on the very next roll call in the House, more than a hundred on the Democratic side o f the aisle failed to vote.

Finney, administrator o f the $5,- 920.80 estate of Mrs. Ella. N. Snell, late of Xenia, alleging this amount due her for personal services to the deceased from Sept. 5, 1932 to Sept. 3, 1938. She claims he made trips here from Cincinnati and her services were in conjunction with those of Mrs. Pearl Wolf, who recently sued the estate for $1050. Both claims were allowed in full by the administrator but re­ jected later at the direction o f probate court upon the demand o f Nicholas A Pluck, Mansfield, foster nephew of Mrs, Snell.
