BROWN Member o f Congress, Seventh Ohio District Queen Wilhelmina o f the" Nether­ lands was a guest at the White House last week, and delivered an address to 1 a joint session o f the. Congress, on Thursday- in which she -outlined her nation’s aims fo r war and peace. La­ ter the same day, in a ceremony broadcast from the Washington Navy Yard, President Roosevelt presented the Queen and her government with an American submarine,chaser as a, symbol o f the unity existing between the United States and the Nether­ lands. COURT NEWS As was predicted, President Roose­ velt late last week .sent to .Congress a message vetoing the recently enact­ ed Gillette Bill, which would Have created an independent rubber supply agency to provide an adequate amount o f synthetic rubber produced from alcohol. At the same time the Presi­ dent announced the naming of three man committee to Survey and investi­ gate the rubber situation. Bernard M. Baruch, who served as head of the War Industries Board in World War No. *l, is chairman o f the committee, with Dr. James B. Conant, President o f Harvard University, and Dr. Karl P. Compton, President o f Massachu­ setts Institute o f Technology, as the other members. Sponsors o f the Gil­ lette Bill have agreed that aiiy move­ ment to override the President’s veto wilPbe held in abeyance until the Bar­ uch" Committee has completed its study and made its report to the President. The Committee has author­ ity to study the present rubber Supply, the military and essential civilian needs, and the various processes for the manufacture o f rubber. PARTITION ORDERED Partition o f property in Bowers- ville was ordered in the case o f Etta Wells against Adda Shadley and others. - . < During the past , week there has been much concern in -official circles oyer developments in both Russia and India. Every attempt is being made to get United Nations’ aid—especially .planes—to the Russian Armies. de­ fending the Caucasus. Threatened pas­ sive revolution by Ghandi and his fol­ lowers may create a real crisis in In­ dia fo r the British. While British of­ ficials have announced that strong measures will, be taken to crush any uprising in India, most Washington observers feel that any real. revolt among the more than three hundred million inhabitants o f India would prove most dangerous to the United Nation’s cause, ORDER CORRECTION Correction o f a deed was ordered in the case o f Edward C. Sesslar, a- ejtecntor o f the estate o f Catherine A. Sesslar, against ,Henry F. Sesslar and others, s Trial o f the eight Axis saboteurs, who landed on Long Island and. Flori­ da beaches and were quickly picked up by F . B. I. agents, has been com­ pleted by the special Trial Commis­ sion Bitting ift Washington. The find­ in g s o f the Commission, together with the evidence, have been submitted to the President, who up to,the time of preparing this column, has not an­ nounced the sentences to be imposed. However, most'observers believe that the death penalty will he invoked up­ on at least seveil o f the saboteurs, with the possibility o f one, who- fur­ nished helpful evidence to the govern­ ment, being given imprisonment. The action of the Federal Court in Detroit late last week in sentencing German born Max Stephan to death for treas­ on, in connection with Aiding an es­ caped Nazi prisoner o f war, indicates, that stern treatment is to be "accord­ ed all traitors, Incidentally, Stephan is the first person to be sentenced to death for treason since the Whiskey Rebellion one hundred and forty-eight years ago.Tn the meantime the F. B. I. continues its roundup o f suspected Axis agents. Eighty-seven arrests have been made in New York within the past few days, With a considerable number o f other suspected persons be­ ing apprehended elsewhere in the country, including two in Cincinnati According to.Bureau o f Labor sta tiatics, the income o f the average city family was seven percent higher dur ing the first half o f 1942 than during the sanie period last year, with aver­ age family expenditures being in­ creased by a little less than two per­ cent, although average living costs in­ creased almost, eight *percent. This means, o f course, that moat city fami lies have boon buying smaller quantl ties o f goods and services thus far in 1942 than In 1941, .During the same ' period o f time savings were increased by seventy percent. During the first half o f 1942 cash income from farm sales’ totaled five billion Seven hun dred and seventy-three million dollars as Compered with four billion twelve million dollars for the first sin months DIVORCE SUITS Charging that all letters he received from Die defendant during tboir courtship were written by her mother, Carson N. -Hutsell has filled suit for divorce from Amanda" Irene Hutsell, 813 Austin Ave. Flint, Mich., in coim mon pleas' court.
