No. 16 CEDARVILLE, OHIO, FRIDAY, MAR. 7, 1941 PRICE, $1.60 A YEAR DUNUIESSIUNAL HAPENINGSIN WASHINGTON By CLARENCE J. BROWN Member .of Congress, Seventh Ohio District Duringthe pest ten days the House of Representatives has approved, by 'practically unanimous votes, a num- her, of appropriation bills for national defense purposes totalling nearly two and * half billion dollars. The’.bills have been rushed through ’with hut little consideration either in the com­ mittees'or on the Floor of the House, as it seems to be the policy of the leadership to give to the departments of the Federal government charged with th e »responsibility of building national, defense,' money requested without haggling or arguments, Such ’action, however, does not’mean that the expenditures made by the various defense agencies will not be closely scrutinised. So many reports have al­ ready been received as to waste, ex travagance and favoritism, in connec tion jwith national defense expend! tures that the Senate lias just passed a. resolution setting up a senatorial committee to investigate all such mat­ ters. The House has several resolu­ tions calling .for the naming of in­ vestigating committees under consid­ eration, In alt probability the final result will be the naming of a Joint Congressional Committee, represent­ ing both the House and Senate, t< carry on a'continuous investigation of defense^spending. DIVORCE SUITS Audrey Leona Tracy, seeking res toration to her maiden name of Har­ vey, charges gross neglect in her peti­ tion against Eldon Kenneth Tracy, Springfield.

Amend*_ tnents to the bill are now under con­ sideration, with a final vote on the measure expected either late this week m early “next week. There is little question but that the bill will pass. However, it will not have the big ■majority that has so confidently been . claimed for it by Administration lead- era and New Deal columnists. In fact i t would not be surprising if several important amendments^ are forced into ! tfee bill over the opposition of the Ad- ministratipm Capitol Hill* observers ■believe that Harry Hopkins former head, of 'the W .P . A., former* Secre­ tary of Commerce, White. House resi­ dent, Presidential confidante, and but recently returned from a visit to Eng­ land as a personal representative of the President, will be named to head up the Lease-Lend organization, once th a t measure becomes a law. Such an arrangement would be the next thing to President Roosevelt heading the organization personally, for un­ doubtedly Mr, Hopkins is closer to the President than any other man. Hop-* kins has been one of the ardent work­ ers in the New Deal vineyard since the very beginnings He Will be re­ membered as being in charge of the W. p . A. during the famous Kentucky campaign^ and for his rather remark­ able statement: "We will tax and tax, spend and .spend,- elect and elect," More recently Mr, Hopkins, was the President’s personal representative at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago last summer when Mr. Roose­ velt. was drafted for a third term. Since that time he has lived almost constantly a t thd White House, until his trip to England on a confidential mission for t ehPresident. ^ The following divorces were award­ ed: Hazel Johnson from Delbert John­ son, gross neglect and cruelty, minor children awarded, to plaintiff; William H.

Washington Hears A Change Proposed For AAA Program The Herald has information th a t fol­ lowing the disposal of the Ipase-lend, bill-and certain, other war legislation there may be a change in the present law governing the AAA, One of the troublesome questions ’ before the New Deal previous to the election was to keep organized labor quiet and promise Was made that the farih pro­ gram would be taken from the Agri­ cultural Department and placed under an independent board with organized labor represented as is done now' under placing defense orders. * The New Deal stands pledged to meet the demands of Union leaders as well as backers of the social security that all farm labor must get benefits but not until it is organized for high­ er wages. Citrus growers that are paid for destroying certain grades to keep it from the market this year met a new issue—no payments unless it could be shown only, organized labor was used to pick and pack the fruit.
