Member o f Congress, Seventh Ohio District Late last Friday the House passed the Administration supported legisla­ tion to amend the Neutrality Law by authorizing the arming o f American merchant vessels. , The passage o f the measure came after but two days o f secret committee hearings, and two i days o f consideration on the Floor o f the House, It was rather frankly con­ ceded by proponents o f the measure that the authorizing o f the arming o f merchant ships is to be followed by other legislation to repeal the section . o f the Neutrality Law: which pro­ hibits the sending o f - American mer­ chant ships into th^.yrar zones and >to belligerent ports. Many o f those who opposed the merchant ship" arming Amendment had no real objection tto .the placing o f guns upon the decks o f American vessels, but voted against the legislation only because they her lieved it to be another step toward. American involvement in war and, .knew the next step will be the send­ in g o f American ships, into the war ;zones. During the debate it was point- sed out that a little over,a month<ago President Roosevelt stated that the .United States, did not have the ,‘guns with which to properly arm its mer- ichaht vessels; and that, .while Secre­ tary Knox testified, that the' guns were now available, other high offi cials have told members o f Congress that American ships could not be cproperly armed for at least, two years. Opponents to the legislation also in sisted that guns ,on merchant vessels provides no adequate defense against either, submarine or airplane attack; and called attention to the fact that during World War No. 1 not a single submarine was sunk by an armed merchant ship. Arming o f merchant’ vessels also makes such ships subject to sinking without warning, or re- tmoval o f passengers and crew, and opponents o f the bill contend/ that its .paBsage-would cost more lives than it Would save. .However, the Adminis­ tration steam ,roller. was 1n good working order and the .hill wds passed > .with the support’ o f ipany members «.0f Congress who six short years ago voted fo r the Neutrality Law as a , great means to promote world peace and 't o ^safeguard America .from in­ volvement in future wars. COURT NEWS ws | — J , The short two day hearing held by the Foreign Affairs Committee o f the House las week on the bill -to repeal certain sections o f the Neutrality Act has focused national attention, both in and oUt o f Congress, upon a newly developed Administration practice of conducting secret hearings and sup­ pressing testimony given in. connec- , tion with important legislation. Chair­ man Sol Bloom, with the support of ' Administration friends on the Foreign Affairs Committee, ruled that the ; "general public, newspaper men, and -even official stenographers, should bo •barred from .the hearing on the bill ?■When testimony was being given by •various Cabinet members and other official witnesses. While the Cabinet members issued public statements in favor o f the legislation, all o f their testimony given in answer to either direct or cross examination by Com­ mittee members, was held to be secret and was not reported in the. usual manner fo r the information o f . the Congress and the general public. Even Committee members who heard •the testimony were barred from quot­ ing therefrom. Administration spokes­ men insisted that su<Jh secrecy js necessary fo r the public good. ■How­ ever, minority members of* the Com­ mittee contend that the secrecy rule is in fact a gag rule adopted only for '•the purpose o f keeping the Congress -and the country from knowing what is actually going on in; connection With our foreign affairs. Much o f the debate on the Floor o f the House in conneection with the Neutrality rp- peal legislation centered around the new trend toward secret hearings that has developed, DIVORCE SUITS Margaret Neatherton claims El- wood Neatherton, whom she married October 23,1933, has failed to provide for her and two minor children over * period o f years and asks alimony and custody o f the children. Neglect and habitual drunkenness are charged. Married October 3, 1940, at New­ port, Ky., Lawrence Shaw seeks his freedom from Mary Evelyn Shaw, a minor, charging cruelty.

Wcad represents the plaintiff. • Kruse Says Farmers Do Not Have To Sign Defense Blanks Elmer Kruse, Ohio AAA chairman Columbus, in answer to questions as to whether AAA committeemen nan compel farmers to sign says, accord­ ing to a Columbus dispatch, there is no law to that affect. Farmers in many Ohio counties or­ ganized to fight the 49c wheat quota penalty have posted, their lands against any AAA official coming (ra­ the farms, Kruse says, if “ they do not want-^is on their property, we'll leave them alone. DIVORCES AWARDED These four couples were legally separated b y ' divorce decrees this Week: imogene Mitchell, (a minor, by her next, friend, Pauline Tolle, was granted a divorce from Delbert Mit­ chell and given custody o f a minor child, on neglect charges*; Mary Jane Meyers was divorced from Lieut. Col. Bennett E. Myers- and given custody o f a minor children neglect and cruel­ ty grounds; Robert W. Johnston was freed from Mary 'Louise Johnston on leglect charges, and Ethel Short was granted a divorce from Henry A. Short, charging cruelty. DISMISS CASE r The case .of Elizabeth Wallace Grayson ‘against Fannie Harris and One farmer informs us the^blanks are loaded with dynamite and every farmer should read for himself «nd not take anybody’s word, keeping in mind the misrepresentation o f the 49c wheat penalty. Our informant has seen and read the blanks. Once more farm regimentation is offered in the guise of “ food for defense” while the New Deal complains about too much wheat, Cora and potatoes. The old adage “ When in doubt vote NO” will be the safest stand in re­ fusing to sign. You might hear once more the-Joe Mason chant “ No more wheat loans” unless you sign up to feed Joe Stalin's Communists in Rus­ sia'... ■ ■ The following signs have bepn post­ ed on northern Ohio farms: “ Notice —Positively n o . trespassing by any AAA committeeman on these prem­ ises.” « 107 Communists In Agr.

Labor Load Farm Lai Organ Fred AY, OCT, 24 , 1241 PRIOE, ? 1.50 A YEAR To Be In Time Smith, wha left the county with his parents thirty years ago and settled in Detroit,-dropped m town Saturday to see i f fhe could remem­ ber the town, his first visit since the family left. He cprip not locate Coop? er’s grocery nor Kerr & Hastings, places Where his father traded. Smith had been an Springfield ip connection with labjjr union business and one or two stakes in that city. When asked a s to the future o f labop organizations Smith made the pre­ diction in not so many years both organizations will be nationalized under federal law .and all labor com­ pelled to belong, to. get in under the various branches pf, social security.' Speaking politically and being from a Republican family' Smith says both the old political parties are doomed arid will be succeeded by a conserva­ tive and a liberal; party, the latter to be made up o f the laboring classes- When asked i f the New Deal was to live any length o f time he replied that Roosevelt could keep it alive as long as he was president^ and he predicted he would be re-elected for a fourth term if he wanted it. During thrii time all can expect to see a national istic social state in Control o f govern ment modeled muteh after the plan sponsored by Hitler and.in force in Germany today. He .thinks the radi­ cals will be driven Out o f the unions in another two year* as, well as the Communists that have gained a small foothold in government departments as part pay for support o f Roosevelt in his first term. /We were interested in getting his reaction to -the opposition farmens might put up against both social* se­ curity taxes and: forced to accept or­ ganized farm labor. He says the op­ position cannot make any headway with fhe administration behind or­ ganized labor, “ Whether the farmers realize it or not the plan they are working under today by.' the AAA is the same plan that will be adopted to force the employment o f organized abor,” said Smith, Then the farmer will have to have a card showing he used organized farm -labor and paid the utiion scale before he can sell his crops. The elevators'Will be manned jy.union labor and the railroads would ie harted # ^ a crop that did not carry the necessary card. The railroads he. says are barred now from receiving cotton unless the crqjp was grown under AAA regulations. Union labor is now required in orange groves in California and Florida, growers not being able to sell to'the packers with­ out a union label. Packing houses are also organized." He says the AAA is but a part o f the nationalistic pro­ gram mapped out fo r Roosevelt early in his first administration. The pro­ gram also covers the government con­ trol and operation o f all life insurance companies -in time, ' We asked his opinion as to contrdl o f schools and colleges by the govern­ ment and he predicted this would come, even the -time when state lines would be abolished. What is in store for churches? “ Few are concerned about them today," was the reply. Judge Divides Fund For Comfort Kit Com. Common Pleas Judge F. L.

' Warns Danger Of “Whooping Cough” Dr. Gordon Savage, County Health Commissioner issues the following statement: “ Whooping cough is one of the most dangerous of communicable diseases in early childhood especially under one and a half years of age. Most parents do not realize the serious­ ness o f this disease. Recently two deaths occurred from Whooping Cough in Greene County within a ’period o f six weeks. (Keep children under 1% years o f age at home as fa r as possible and away from other children and adults. From informa­ tion we have been able to secure com­ paratively few infants have been im­ munized against this disease. While vaccination may not completely pre­ vent whooping cough in every ease, most authorities are agreed that dis­ ease, is made less severe, it is definite­ ly the responsibility of the parent to take the children to the family physi­ cian for immunization against whoop­ ing Cough, Disptheria, and vaccina­ tion for Smallpox, After the child de- velopes Whooping Cough the physi­ cian should be consulted concerning treatment.
