TufimoJl in J&tgiimd o w 'l KOP r e t VK> MniaM NEW DEAL ARMY OF SNOOPERS The Office o f Price Administration recently asked Congress fo r -a very large appropriation to add some 100,000 new em­ ployes, .mostly enforcement personnel, to the OPA payroll. •These employes, in other words, would constitute a sort o f pri­ vate police force and would spend their time and the taxpayers’ money looking for violations o f the price-freezing order. 4 The National Association o f Retail Grocers, an organiza­ tion which represents thousands o f independent food merchants throughout the country, promptly protested. In a resolution submitted to Congress it s a i d “ It.is implied in this, proposal to turn an army o f ‘snoopers’ on the retail merchants of the United States. These men and women proposed fo r OPA enforcement 'personnel can.render more useful'service in the prosecution o f the war against the, Axis powers, rather than as an army of harassment, operating at public expense on the hojne fron t” That protest is well taken. As OPA officials themselves have pointed out, the retail industry In all its branches has been .... n «4 nwnfifOOtnYtlV JST'O1' overwhelmingly opposed to speculation and profiteering industry has given more complete cooperation to the govern­ ment in the campaign against inflation. To inflict this industry with 100,000 “secret police” , would amount to deliberately harassing an industry which has a superb record of operation in the public interest. . The vast majority o f merchant?, big and little, will con­ form completely ‘to the price regulations. Competition alone will keep prices in line. Consumers and consumer organiza­ tions will he on the lookout for violations, and will report them to the authorities. The OPA, o f course, will need an enforce­ ment staff—but it doesn’t need a staff o f 100,000 snoopers. It doesn’t need a secret police force. The 100,000 people who would be. employed for this snoop­ er work are needed in war industry and the military forces. The hundreds o f millions o f dollars it would cost to pay their salaries and expenses are needed for war production; DON'T KID YOURSELF It has been announced that one of the big labor organiza­ tions now plans to organize the farm workers of the country. Arid there is grim food fo r thought in that fo r consumers. If the union is successful, and manages to establish farm wages on the shipyard scale, the result will he inevitable. Food prices will rise like rockets. Even today, dairy farmers are hard-pressed to pay current wages and still sell their milk at a price which will return a decent profit. Judged by Industrial wage scales, dairy workers are not highly paid. But farm workers receive valuable services in addition to pay—food , lodging, etc. Most o f them Work ott farms because they like the life, and would bet unhappy and out o f place in factories. I f agriculture is unionized, the public will pty the bill, Don’t kid yourself about that.

His recent hurried vMt to this country startled his own people *3 much as it eurprieed Americana. A!1 reports at that time in­ dicated seed $»ws for the allies but late reports now indicate the public has not been given all the facts, at home or abroad. That Churchill wUl get a vote o f confidence is expected because anything else was admission that England Was losing heart in the war movement. Again, the Socialist element in the English Jawmaking body is in control. When the Socialist refuse to back Churchill, England will be finished so far as her part In the war is concerned. On this aide the public has not been given even a tip on the Roosevelt-Churchill conference. That conditions must he ejarming the American people are beginning to wonder in the absence o f a Roosevelt statement in the face o f the march o f the Nazi into Egypt. Home folks are far from pleased over some events on this side of the Atlantic, With some 327 vessels sunk by Nazi U- boats since December 7 and no report ever having been made as to how many U-boats have been sunk by our. destroyers, leaves the public in doubt as to just how much effective pro­ tectionism East Coast has, ■ , • England has some three and one-half, million men on the British Isles under arms to say nothing o fwhat Uncle Sam has on or near the European continent. Charges made in Congress thatEngland is not giving the amount o f aid to Russia and hav­ ing the required number o f men in Egypt, have not been an­ swered. Under the New Deal iease-lend, Churchill has most o f our destroyers in European Waters surrounding the British Isles where at present there is no fighting on water or land. Meantime our own boats loaded with warmaterial to .the num­ ber o f 327 has been sunk, a total loss, in support of any army" and a great economic loss to the American people who must pay the hill. ■, « . . . . One thing is certain events* in Egypt are proof that little headway is being made to check the Nazi by the British forces. Where the fault lies the public has not been informed. Once the Nazi are entrenched in Egypt, Japan is expected to sweep down on Russia from the North and thus give aid to Hitler in his drive on the Ru^ians. 1 If we bava bttrd one tfe* peat waak w* h*va baaed a rimflar «*• twmty tUaas and that wm wt w o ld gat gaaohna rt- Moatbig a&tw ad awte awnae# mtortd thair f t fadaral tag t » plat* m tfc* wiodSbiald.

Burton, Ohio, R., has issued a statement there is no justification o f the government pro­ posing sehmre o f private cars or even tires because such tires would be o f little value in the army. There is no shortage of gasoline says the Senator and rationing only to save tires. Now if the Senator will tell us about the report in circulation that we are pot to get any more spark plugs for putos another pain will he eased. .The East gets a taste of dictation under gasoline rationing when the' Hew Deal shot up .the price o f gaso­ line, to auto owners Monday o f 2.5 cents a gallon. This increase was due it is said to cover cost of transporta­ tion but from other quarters this is questioned; The local dealers or dis­ tributors who have been all but put out o f business get no part o f the in­ crease, The East, wanted the JNew DM) and now must pay thefiddleC for the dances bf the past, '. It looks like the CCC is a dead bird as the hoys* in the street would ex­ press it. Vice President Wallace cast his vote when, the proponents and op­ ponents o f the CCC appropriation hill was up in the Senate and gave it short life. When the bill went back to the House the Committee gave the New Dealraeasure the “ gas”. There- quested amount'was cut to $8,000,000 just enough, to give the CCC a decent burial.

Jury Finds Oliver Guilty Manslaughter A' jury trial covering five days end­ ed Wednesday afternoon when a ver­ dict was returned that night finding William Oliver, 19, Xenia, guilty o f manslaughter for the shooting o f his step-father, Vernon Tobin last March. The youth claimed insanity' and Judge Johnson had him, committed to the State Hospital for Criminal In­ sane, Lima, for observation. He was returned as sane and faced prosecu­ tion. He had been indicted for second degree murder. ■ The*prosecution was .conducted by Prosecutor Marcus Shoup, assisted by Attorney Harry D, Smith. The de­ fendant was represented in court by attorneys Prank Dean, and- Robert Wead. ", SMALL PACKERS CLOSING There will jra no pantry snoopers as Congress has cut the one hundredinil- Hon request of Leon Henderson for Several thousand snoopers down tc about seventy million. ,Henderson wanted to get funds to pay salaries af some 60,000 New. Dealers who would do the snitching on housewives that violate sugar rationing. Numer­ ous other oVeryday articles have been picked* out for rationing before fall. Congress paid Henderson beck in kind. When gas was rationed in the East Henderson gave members of con­ gress to understand they would get all the gas they needed- At a later, date he pulled the “X Card” trick and this did not set well. Republican ant! Democratic members took the op portunity o f letting the New Deal dic­ tator know he could not force them to pass wanted legislation, Henderson says be will resign if he does not get these snoopers. But will he? The Henderson order fixing prices as o f March for pork products has closed some 200 small packing houses in the country. Many have discontinu­ ed the slaughter Of hogs and curing o f meat. The situation Is this, if they sold bacon in March to dealers at 18c a pound when hogs were around 10c, they must today pay more than 14c for hogs and sell bacon at 18c a pound. The large packers were selling bacon around 24c last March, having a tip of. what Henderson was going to do. Now they are forcing the price of hogs where the small dealers are closing down their packing houses. With the small dealers out o f the way Henderson will be able to force, down the price of hogs to the farm­ er, who With high prices i f charged by the New* Deal as guilty o f bring­ ing on inflation,„ , PRINTING PRESS MONEY Just about the time the New Deal was announcing frozen prices for cer­ tain products, and controlled prices on farm products, the public was giv­ en to understand there would be froz­ en labor wages for organized and un­ organized groups. This week we get the information the government has granted steel workers .an increase o f $1 a day in wages. A Columbus con; cem was forced to grant a 30c an hour increase, both firms- engaged in turning out war products. Both had coat plus contracts so the additional cost falls on the nation’s taxpayers, not the corporations having the con­ tracts. This should be interesting to farmers that swallowed the bait about frozen Wages which was hut a cover to blind the.farmer with controlled prices for his products. For instance wheat today is around $1.03. Thirty days ago it was $1.25 a bushel. The Roosevelt appointment of Bul­ litt, who has held many New Deal assignments, even ambassador to Rus­ sia, where he saw Communism at its best and asked to be transferred to France,, as assistant to Secretary Frafik Knox of the Navy, has caused much comment in political circles, Bullitt and his economic views, could be co-ordinated with that of Knox, former Republican vice presidential candidate, has the politicos specuiat- candidate. The politicos speculat­ ing as to whether Knox was not ort the way dufc of his official post. News reports indicate the govern­ ment "will take over 290,900,000 pounds of a possible normal 300,000,- 000 pounds o f the 1942 wool clip. This would leave hut 10,000,090 pounds of wool for all domestic purposes, in­ dustrial as well. It has been predicted that before the present year dies, all clothing for men or women that has wool content will fall under the Hen­ derson rationing plan. All clothing in Russia and Germany has been ration­ ed, few things being on the ration list in England outside of groceries. Indiana Democrats in state conven­ tion certainly have done Roosevelt and tine New Deal a great injustice when the party platform is to contain a plank giving the Republicans all the •uedtt and Yuli responsibility for the If you are interested in inflation and how it can be forced on the country while New Dealers are opposing high farm prices which would bring on in­ flation, according to the administra­ tion, you should read ’Tnrisible Green; backs” in the July 4th issue of the Saturday Evening Posh It is a story o f whatwill happen if you do not pur­ chase your share o f war bonds, • The following local stores will re­ main open. all day and evening July 4th; C.

SMITH PETITIONSARE APROVED A meeting of the chairmen and clerks o f the various boards-of elec­ tions in the nine counties in the Sev­ enth District was held in Springfield, Monday, when the petitions o f George H, Smith, Spring Valley, were declar­ ed regular over a protest o f Carl H. Ehl, Springfield who also seeks the Democratic nomination. The faction fight in Democratic ranks deveiopes that the Smith peti­ tions were circulated ,by supporters of the Democratic Boss Sheehan,'Spring- field. There were only„about twenty- five signatures on the petitions from Fayette and Madison county with about 100,names on two Springfield petition's. Smith is at present connected with the ^aviation corps and is located- ah Miami Beach, Fla., where he-is taking a “brief-case” course towards winning the war.. Smith previoualy had been pfitoh hittingfior Judge HomerHenris so the latter could draw two salaries, How the two salaries or how Smith was compensated- has never been made public.' Judge Henrie had to re­ sign as probate judge under army or­ ders. “ ■ - ' Ehl. 60 years o f age, traveling salesman, World War Veteran, ran for congress two year* ago. He is connected with the faction o f Demo­ crats opposing the Sheehan dictation as to who can be a candidate and who cannot ran on the Democratic ticket. Ehl is a member o f the Lutheran church, Springfield. ^ Greene county Democrats have been mystified over the fact that no peti­ tions, were circulated in this county for Smith. It is known that one fac­ tion o f the local Democrats will refuse to support- Smith in this county.
