BROWN Member o f Congress, Seventh Ohio District After days o f stormy debate, the House struck out of the Naval De­ fense Bill the appropriation for special expenditures on the Island o f Guam, which opponents, declared was the be­ ginning of the fortification o f Guam and meant the adoption, by the United States, o f a new foreign policy in the Orient. In spite o f a dramatic appeal by Democratic Floor Leader Ray- bunt for his party to stand against striking out the item a sufficient num­ ber of Democrats joined with the al­ most solid Republican minority to pass by a vote of 205 to 168 the amendment to eliminate the Guam appropriation from the Bill. The startling result was another proof that the Congress favors an adequate national defense, but is opposed to making appropria­ tions for purposes o f offense. A second suit fo r $2,900 damages filed by' Howard L. Batdorf, Osborn, Greene county commissioner, against the Wabash Portland Cement com­ pany,' Osborn, and transferred to United States district court at Dayton December 4, 1937, has been remanded to common pleas court here by Federal Judge Robert Nevin for “ further pro­ ceedings." A federal court jury verdict gave Commissioner Batdorf a $2,690 dam­ age award against the- Wabash firm on February 5 after a five weeks’ rial.t The second damage action, origi­ nally filed in common pleas court October 23, 1937, contained allega­ tions similar. to those on which the commissioner’s first suit wtffe based. Mr. Batdorf, whose farm adjoins the Wabash plant, charged that cement dust, carried by the wind, was deposit­ ed on his farm and filtered into his home, with injurious results to his health and damage to his crops and household furnishings. Rumor has it that James Aloysius Farley, Postmaster General, Chair­ man o f the Democratic National Com­ mittee, Chairman of the Democratic State Committee pf New York, and politician .extraordinary, will resign as Postmaster General within the next few weeks for the announced purpose o f recouping his personal fortune. However, those who should know, state that the real reason for genial Jim's resignation will be his deter- , EXECUTOR SUED John Cyphers, as executor of the Laura B. Cyphers estate, has been named defendant in two suits filed in common pleas court, seeking judgment tptaling $3,500. William M. Brenner, Margaret Brenner and the Miami Deposit Bank at Yellow Springs sued for $2,500, representing the asserted value of a 5-21 interest in Miami Twp, real estate which, according to the peti­ tion, is subject to a mortgage held by the bank. John M. Jacoby brought suit for $1,000 also on the basis of a SCHOOLTEAM ISSURPRISE INTOURNEY The local school basketball team up­ set all tournament predictions when in the opener Thursday evening they defeated Ross Twp. 26 to 22 which made it possible for the local boys to travel to the final contest Saturday night to be defeated by Spring Valley in a 19-12 score. With Ross Twp. out o f the picture followers o f the game had to rewrite their predictions and from then on the local boys were given a place in the finals. All predictions came true. Spring Valley under the leadership of Joe Waddle as coach had been-prom­ inent during the season. In the Ross game Coach Paul Orr saw his boys marked up by a 10 to 3 score in the first quarter; 18 to 9 at the half-way mark; and 21 to 11 in the third period.
