BROWN U m V r of. Congress, Seventh Ohio District j a ii»iin in n n inniiin iiin im ii»Mim iiiin iim nui»niiniii COURT NEWS Ln»t wetk closed and this week epened on a real fight in Congress ov­ er the Wadswprth-Burke Conscription Act, Already the Senate ha* drasti­ cally amended the measure, hut op position to the BUI continues. There is a strong feeling that there should be .n o conscription measure during‘ pence time unless there is a definite and immediate danger to the safety o f this country greater than is now known to Congress. Those backing the Con­ scription A ct insist that a sufficient number o f men fo r military service cannot be obtained except b y the drqfit. Rather ptcuiariiy, however, all volun­ teer enlistment quotas fo r army serv­ ice-are being more rthan met a t this time. There is a strong movement on foot to increase the pay o f enlisted men from " twenty-one dollars per month to thirty dollars per month, and to reduce the length o f time or army -. enlistments from .three year’s to on'1 year, in the belief that such action will make conscription .unnecessary, .a t.least at this time apd1under pre­ sent Conditions, Phillip Aultman To Past .week General Pershing, in a national broadcast, brought out in the open a campaign that lias been going op -fo r some little time to get Con- ..gressional approval fo r the sale o f .at . least fifty United States destroyers-to the British Navy. Unlike the transfer add sale o f airplanes made to France and England shortly before the French aurender, it is necessary to obtain Congressional consent for the sale of fighting ships because o f a law passed in, 191? prohibiting such sale o f naval craft. This law was used some tipte ago by Chairman Walsh o f tlie Senate Naval' Affairs Committee to block the •sale o f a number o f new American torpedo-boats to the English govern­ ment, Those sponsoring the proposed transfer o f .the destroyers contend that the acquisition o f such ships would permit England to-better patrol the English Channel and help stop the Gerjpan Invasion o f the Island.King­ dom and insist victory or defeat for England may possibly, depend upon the action taken in the matter. Those op­ posing the sale o f snch ships point out that, such a transfer o f American War vessels to Great Britain at this time would be an overt act o f War against Germany and might involve the United States directly in the conflict. They also insist that i f the United States is in danger* o f almost immediate in­ vasion, as contended by Secretary o f War Stimson and Senator Sheppard recently, fairness to the American people demands that such ships be re­ tained in the United States Navy for the defense o f this country. SEEKS LAND RIGHTS Robert S. Befghtler state director o f highways in, his official capacity, has filed proceedings against J, W, Browne, Jamestown, R. R. 1; Robert Lucas and Doris Lucas, Jamestown, fo r a highway isement to reduce •what is termed ft dangerpus curve in front o f Browne’s home, The' state has allegedly offered Browne $987.20 for compensation for the property and $1200 for damage to the residue, totaling $2187.20, which the defendant deems unsatisfactory.

AuRman, Xenia, who com­ pleted his law course last June, will be sworn in ns attorney at law before the Ohio Supreme Court a t CoUfmbuV Friday afternoon. Mr. H. (J. Anlfcmyj retired as county superintendent o f schools this month. Mr. Aultman is a brother o f Muni­ cipal Judge D. M. Aultman, is a grad­ uate o f Xenia Central High School in 1933, attended ^Ohio State University in the college of. commerce and busi­ ness administration «nrtd college o f education, and graduated last June from the college o f law which ho* en­ tered in 1937. At Ohio State, he was a member o f Delta Tan Delta social fraternity of which ho was elected president dur­ ing his senior year. In law school he was affiliated with PM Delta Phi, a legal fraternity, and was also a mem­ ber of the editorial staff o f the Ohio State Law Journal, a publication of the law school. Several o f his articles were published in’ the paper, one of which was reprinted in a recent issue of the Ohio State Bar Association Re- port. . . Mr. Aultman will be associated with iiis brother, Municipal Judge D. M. Aultman, in the practice o f law with offices fn the Steel building. As predicted some time ago, the National Defense Program is not mak- .jn g the progress the country wna lead to expect. The reasons therefore are; first o f all, governmental red tape and interference; the present tax laws are not conducive to manufacturing plant -expansion-for defense or other pur- i poses; and restrictive labor and other • legislation also are having a detri­ mental effect. However, the greatest reason fo r slow progress is the failure o f; A m y officials to decide upon just what is needed and to place orders therefore. Late last week it was re­ ported that out o f the new defense funds voted by Congress not a single new combat plane has been contracted fo r ; that gun production and artillery orders are small; that only a few iaaks are being ordered; and that oth­ er rearmament plans are moving slow­ ly. However, in the NaVy—which is really America's first line o f defense — the situation is brighter. A number ,o f new fighting ships have been con- tnaeted fo r and American ship yards i#re working at full speed. According to military experts it is iltbeUt an even money bet aij to wheth* rr or .not Hitler will attempt to in- ygde England this Summer. If the in­ vasion comes Jtwill he within the next two or three weeks, ami probably Witbfn the next few days, as it is this season o f the year that weather and ocean eonditipOa are She best for such on attempt. Many military strategists believe that Hitler; realising that an attempted invasion o f England would be a moat difficult and costly affair, will attempt to starve out England by blockade and to break the morale o f the English people by continuous air bombings, rather than to risk a direct attack. In the meantime England is preparing rapidly for anything that may he ahead and the “ tight little isle" is fast becoming a heavily armed fortress that Germany may find ex­ ceedingly hard to conquer. facts and figures show that during the past seven years, Jn comparison JUDGMENT MADE The Oakdale Lumber and Millwork Co. was given a judgment o f $204,40 against Bi M, Nungester and others.

W. Trout, Springfield, a director o f the American Jersey Cattle Club, believes he 1ms the last three cattle to come from the English Channel Isle o f Jersey.

He says each year this country imports around 200 head o f the cattle, the aristocracy o f Jerseys, from the little island. Trout's shipment, which he received a few weeks ago, was comprised o f a young bull and two cows.
