SIXTY-SECOND YEAJR NO. 16 CEDARVU j LE, OHIO, FIIDAY , MARCH 17, 1939 C i t ifc'g' U I V b l i e u a r e i f f f L n f l r r t I W I w m n n u m i T O I l r n By CLARENCE J. BROWN Member o f Congress, Seventh Ohio Distriet • . ’C* A so-called Reorganization Bill passed the House last "week by a nar­ row margin following three days of .hectic debate, and is now in the •Senate for it’s consideration,. The Bill passed is but a , pale replica of o f the measure over which such a ter­ rific battle was - fought a year ago, resulting in a .major defeat for the New Deal. In the Bill passed last week practically all o f the contro­ versial portions o f the original bill had. been deleted. However, the pro­ vision that reorganization orders by "the President to become a law unless a joint resolution setting aside such orders is adopted by Congress within sixty days thereafter, drew the opposi­ tion o f most o f the' Republican, and a part o f the Democratic, membership o f the House. The roll call showed the Administration victorious by only a fourteen vote margin. DIVORCE SUITS Jeanette M. Janos, in a suit against Griff L. Jones,..Buffalo, N« Y ., charges cruelty and gross neglect, jn the form o f non-support.- They, were married June 25, 1937 in Ontario Province, Canada, George E. Alcorn, 127 W, Main St., seeking decree from Sat ie Alcorn, 19 Clemmer St., Apartment 9, Dayton, charges gross neglect and cruelty, declaring the defendant refused to keep house or cook meals. He requests custody o f a minor child. They were married June 16, 1923, at Dayton. PARTITION SUIT FILED Partition o f New Jasper, Twp., real estate in which the plaintiff claims a two-thirds interest ,is sought by Cora M. Huston in a suit against Omer C. Shirk, Nora Shirk and George. W. Huston. Miller and Finney - are at­ torneys fo r the plaintiff. Some o f the years-old political ob­ servers here-about are giving the ir­ repressible F.D.R. 'credit f o r 1an ex­ ceptionally clever bit o f political strategy during the past few weeks. It is pointed out that when the 76th Congress assembled in January, the attention of both Congress and the the country was focussed on the evi­ dent failure" of practically every phase o f the New Deal program and the serious domestic situation of mounting" unemployment and -deepen­ ing depression. Suddenly all sorts of “ war talk” . developed in many quarters. • Peculiar ■' mysterious de­ velopments, in which the White House played no small part, attracted great attention and caused much com­ ment. As the. President left for fleet maneuvers he hinted mysteriously that he might be compelled to return at any moment because, o f some unknown but evidently dangerous, situation con­ fronting the country. Huge appro­ priations for defense purposes were rushed through the Congress. No one was longer talking about the fail­ ure o f the New Deal’s domestic policies. Then F.D.R. returned from the Caribbean to -take up the program o f business appeasement and tax re­ duction, started by some o f his Cab­ inet officers a few days earlier. The theme song now seems to be one o f “ Recovery before Reform.” Thus, we enter a new phase o f the New Deal. DIVORCE GRANTED Mary Tomlinson has been awarded a divorce from Robert Tomlinson on grounds o f wilful absence from home for more than three years. NOTE.

HMMAN Dr. Walter P.-Harriman, 66, former local pastor o f the First Presbyterian Church, died at the Miami Valley Hos­ pital, Dayton, Fridsjy, at 7:10 p. m. Dr. Harriman was first taken ill while pastor o f the-Memorial Presby­ terian Church; Daylon, in November, 1937, when he sul'ered a nervous breakdown.

Curlett, who Was re-elect­ ed, county auditor last November, en­ tered upon his term Monday, .along with other elective county auditors in the state. - Mr. Curlett first entered the auditor’s office under R. O. Wead, seven years ago. When P. H. Creswell resigned to become U, S. Marshal, Mr. Curlett was appointed to fill the vacancy. He has risen from the bottom to the top and his efficiency.and popularity as well as his splendid service to the county, were approved by the voters last fall when he was given a plural­ ity that was a record breaker. Mr. Curlett has “kept faith with the people in this county.” * WALTER P. HARRIMAN Incidentally, speaking o f the new Administration program to bring a- bout .recovery through aid to the small business men o f the country, perhaps it might be well to point out here that the first suggestion along this line came early in January, when Congressman Clarence J. Brown of Ohio introduced a bill for aid to small business by the proper extension o f credit. The Brown Bill caused much discussion in business circles and it was not long afterward until Admin­ istration spokesmen began to feature similar programs, which were claimed, as their own. Of course, any law for relief o f small business passed by the present Congress will hear the name o f a Democratic sponsor.' The Ad­ ministration will see to that. APPOINTMENTS MADE Charles L.
