Brown said that he wap Onroute to his office, accompanied by two leg islative employes with whom he shared, a car poql, when he noticed the Government car. He said its license disclosed that it was assigned to Donovan’s office, and demanded to know: “ (1) Wat the gentleman riding in the car at 9 this morning being driven to work by a Government chauffeur, contrary id law, or was he ort official business at the time? “ (2) I f on official business, just what use whs being made o f the poodle dog in the service o f our country ? , • “ (8) Whether it is’ the practice of your office to permit the use o f Gov ernment vehicles fo r the personal convenience and benefit o f appointees and employes o f your o ffice ?” HARRY S.

" , •"< 4 Following the Sund» I night broad cast when Claude Wick Erd and Elmer Davis, took the air h E' explain the food point rationing sywem, the Pub lisher o f the Herald personally con tacted a number qHf farmers and found there waa g variety of reasons why one or another did not hear either speaker, We found the poll showed the following: ’ Of 32 farmers, all farm owners or renters contacted, the fealowing is the result: * Nine reported their radios were out o f repair. Some had battery trouble and others needed repan’s which can not be had and the owners could not- get new radios as prices they wanted to pay. *; Six said they did not bear the food program and did not'krioyir o f it un til the next day, - ; • Three said they did not listen, due to sickness or company, Two said they were disgusted hear ing government programs and would rather hoar Charley McCarthy any time., “ " l Four had no comment* Five heard 'ail or part o f the talks but could see nothing that should cause ration’ o f fopdl - 1 Two. thought liquor^ should be ra tioned first. ' 1 ' Qne did not know what to say but supposed that they knew, what they were doing in Washington.This One did say later that he could' not see anything to he gained hy the farmer who had to do the work. Tins same farmer had a son in the army and had little sympathy for what was be ing done in Washington, Following the Roosevelt message to the joint session o f congress we Bounded a number o f other farmers on the message but none o f these were' in the other group. The result was as follows o f the 27 interviewed: Three reported their radios out of condition and no repairs to be had, Eleven farmers said they were not interested and paid no attention to the message. Seven o f these said they did not even listen to Fireside Chats any more... One wondered after hearing the message and reference to government cost if he ^Roosevelt) was willing to have a few thousand dollars cut out o f the hundred thousand allowed him for upkeep o f the White House and travel by special train every few weeks to Hyde Park. ' Seven said they saw nothing en couraging from the farm standpoint. Four referred to control o f farm prices and frozen high prices for all a farmer had to purchase. One o f these wanted to know if the writer knew if it was Henderson that put $ l a qUart on oysters for the family dinner on Christmas. One had no comment on message but thought city folks Yett these re strictions were fo r the benefit o f the farmer because See. Wickard did most o f the talking about agriculture which convinced the city folks it was the farmers that were holding out for high prices On stored, f o o d ." Greene County B. o f E.

Brown Named To House Rules Committee CLARENCE J. BROWN The news report o f the arrest o f Rev. Walter S. Kilpatrick, 29, presi dent o f Cedarville College on leave o f absence fo r six months, disturbed both religious and- educational groups Wednesday evening, Following a charge o f a seyen year old Toledo girl that she had been attacked' in a. Toledo hotel* Kilpat rick wag_ placed under arrest hy the authorities and held .under $2,500 bond. The arrest took place Monday night following the charge, The first information reaching here was from Toledo to Attorney J. A. Finney, member o f the Board o f Trustees' of the College. He 'Con tacted Attorney Lehr Fess, Toledo, who investigated and gave a report to Mr. Finney. . - . Acting President Ira D. Vayhinger after-consulting with Mr. Finney isr sued a statement to the Associated press following a request o f the news: gathering organization, Rev. Kilpatrick came -to Geilar- villti from Delaware county where' his parents now reside. He grad uated with high honors and later from the Western Seminary in Pitts burgh. He wop scholarships in European . universities and studied there for his Doctor of Philosophy degree. He also had extensive travel in different European'hountrfes. He was inaugurated president o f the College in October, 1940, His work has been very satisfactory even dur ing these trying times. Some. months ago Dr. John R. Mott, through the European Student Relief Fund, asked the College trus tees to grant Dr. Kilpatrick a leave o f absence of six months as the or ganization, non-sectarian and sup ported by Protestant, Catholic and Jewish follower^, would like to send him to Switzerland. He has been ^GREENE CO. GETS ONE awaiting passports and also canvas sing this country for relief funds. Details o f the event.arC not known herd at this "time.

'Dr, Kilpatrick "Was not on the •payroll after, being granted a leave o f ab sence, He has had no official con nection •with the college since' his leaving. ; House Republicans "Tuesday elected Representative Clarence J, Brown of Ohio to fill the new rules committee post granted the minority party un der the new .committee realignment based on increased Republican mem bership in tbe house.

With a division in Dem ocratic ranks duel to th e . anti-New Dealers makes a new allignment in the committee. Brown will also become a meinber of the steering-committee which has •control o f what bills go' on the board •for consideration by the: house. He is the first Ohioan to be named to the rules committee in many years and one of the youngest, in point of service* ever to be so hqpored.

Birch Died In Florida, Thursday Hugh Taylor Birch, 94, native of Yellow Springs, died Thursday at his winter home in Ft, Lauderdale, Fla. The deceased moved to Yellow Springs from Des Plaines, 111., with his parents-when he was. 9 years of age. He attended Antioch College in 1860 but did not graduate. He took up law and practiced' in Boston and Chicago, being attorney for the Standard Oil Co. for many years During the Chicago 1893 Wontl’s Fair he ventured in real estate, and is said to have accumulated his. first fortune with the growth o f that city, He purchased large . holdings in Florida before the boom days and soon amassed a huge fortune. He came back to Greene county in 1928 and gave Antioch College a 900 acre park in memory of his daughter Helen, who had died a short time before, In ,1938 he gave a park in, memory o f Prof. Edward Orton* who was president o f "Antioch in 1869. -This-park is also f o r .a Boy Scout Camp. Last March Mr. Birch gave 1,000 acre park to the state o f Florida near Ft. Lauderdale that was along the ocean front and valued at $i,« 000,000/' He had been a liberal sup-; porter of Antiqch College during hi* lifetime. He leaves'no direct heirs other than cousins*. Mr." John Birch and sister, Mrs. j , N. Wolford, Yellow Springs, and Mrs. B. U. Bull, Xenia, and George Birch, Daytort, The funeral Was held. Sunday from the Methodist Church in Yellow Springs. The. body was shipped to Chicago, to be buried beside other members o f his family. . In the list we find no corn pickers, the most needed machine to, harvest the most important crop. One deal er states that his company says if corn pickers a re . allowed later the termer that gets the AAA endorse ment will have to harvest 150 acres for .his neighbors, an impossible as signment even, for those who had pickers of their awn last, fgll when weather conditions were favorable, In scanning the list as put out by Joseph B, Mason we find there is to be one horse-drawn mower and ten tractor mowers. Six hay loaders, One corn binder. Four rotary hoes. Four milk coolers and three separators Two farm elevators, Seven wagons, Three grain drills and five manure spreaders, Eight spike tooth harrows, There will be 20 wheel type tiac tors, 22 tractor 'cultivators and nine teen disc harrows. There are no com bines on the list, The absence o f the old fashioned cradle leaves farmers without much hope of machinery this season. To darken the farm picture the representative o f the U. S. Labor Department in Springfield^ informed- the Clark county farm, war board on Tuesday the little aid could be ex pected from that source this sum mer*. •. The employment o f Kentucky labor by Greene county farmers has not been satisfactory . Those brought up here stay a week or ten days and then go to Patterson Field where they get 75c to $1 an hour pay. I f farm mobilization'day over .the nation waij anything like what the atr tendance and the. enthusiasm was at the meeting in Xenia, Tuesday after noon, it must have been marked up as a frost. Not to exceed 125 farmers were in the assembly room at any one time, in our poll we counted a t least 60 o f the members o f the AAA organization and field workers that ai;e on government pay under the Ag* setup. Tn as much as the 125 repre sents less than five per "cent o f the farmers in the county, not t o exceed two and one-half per .cent would be a .fa ir index o f representation with, the ’paid coterie eliminated for they Were expected to be there to .shdw in terest" in their jobs if nothing else. (We note 250 attended the Claiic Co, meeting, a county with more farmer^ • than'Greene.),, The meeting wjss devoid o f any thing sensational, to fact little,or no interest was taken if questions from the floor were considered.
