The Military-Affairs Committee o f the House has favorably reported the Kitday Bill to amend the Conscrip­ tsoii'Act so as to require draft class­ ifications and quotas to be set up by states rather than- by draft board districts, and to require induction into military service in the order of de­ pendency oh ar state-wide basis. It .has always been the intent and pur­ pose o f the Congress that the Con­ scription Act should be used only for the armed services o f the United ■States, and. not fo r the purpose of, conscripting labor fo r civilian em­ ployment, either in war plants, or elsewhere. It has also been the in­ tent o f Congress to conscript men- in invertw ord«h* o f dependency, with fathers o f dependent children being taken only as a last resort after all p|h«c available man power has been exhausted, So the result o f the Hil­ das? ffill, i f eqasted into law, will be to ast gride and to make ineffective the recent War Man .Power Com­ mission Order* which maj? contend to bp .illegal and unconstitutional, . - ' The N*W Heal took nnthqr shel- laefe# a t ths hand* Of the House last Weak wh*» fhab body* eliminated many millions -o f debars from the bill Wtirying appropriations for the Independent- offices and agencies of the government.

She had no vegetables, no canned fruit, ho meats no bread, she was not a.Ne’Sar Deal Democrat, -hoarder as scores we could' name in public print, Her heart was heavy. She Was de­ spondent for she could, get more eat ing out o f the small amour,; o f beans than she could o f the same amount o f money spent fo r meat.' She- had no means o f knowing about rationing rules or the crazy New Deal fads fastened upon: the people.- Her life is that of one trying to evade that “ trip over the’ bill” / She did not even know that Roosevelt and ■ the New Deal Democrats bad gorged their guts with; the: finest; p lfo o d s a t a $100 a plate dinner -in the moat expensive hotel in Washington, Saturday night. .Yes^ she had .an interest in the w a r and the- boys in' camp and abroad for she had grandchildren in the army, a situation -these patriotic hoys may1 resent upon'their return from service wfaOn they learn what has fallen upon an innocent victim. Neither could h er loyalty be questioned. Neither could her hunger be appeased- by the cock-eyed: rationing o f food- while, the White House- pantry bulged with food- and even the President o f the United States issued an order to himself that his cellar could not be Inventoried for groceries, fruits, champaign; IK quor/or wines-and there was the -one spot in the nation not under ration­ ing; ’ The White’ House is listed for rationing as an “ Institution".

B- TiMiir Hffltfflflt? lUlfn iHHIuno OVERMAN What sport fane regarded- as a modern miracle took place Saturday night, February 21, a t'th e Greene County Basketball Tournament being held at the Xenia Central Firidhouse. Cedarville edged out Yellow Springs Bryap by a score o f 31 to 29. Cedar­ ville was possessor o f only one win during the regular 'season, and that one over a similarly kicked-around opponent, Spring Valley, while the decidedly favored' Bryan: squad had been undefeated in fotirtden contests, Cedarville'- fepa as well a*, other tournament followers who, were root­ ing for the Underdog, wfent delight­ fully berserk. When the* final gun cracked with-the fighting! Cedars.on top. Robert Dorman, epach o f the Winhers, Was mobbed firsklbyriiis play era and then by. deliriously happy friis. The Cedarville dressing room was the scene o f a’wild demohstratioft by ecstatic'followers who (humped the triumphant' eagers unmercifully. In contrast, Bryan's dressing room was deadly silent. ■ Those who didn't witness, the con­ test were unbelipvfng until they had been reassured several times that it was true. It was actually, one of the most startling upsets whitih ever has been staged in this county and pos­ sibly in the state. To .Greene County sports enthusiasts it was nothing less then miraculous. After all, Cedar, ville had been walloped twice by Bryan prior to .the tournament by the scores o f 5G to 8 and 36 to 14 and had won only one seasonal game out of twelve. •' ■ , The first half was a little hint as to what was to follow. |Cedarville trailed 17 to 10 but' showed a. good dehl o f fight and spirit. It was this fight and spirit as well as a bit of good basketball playing that carried them through the final canto. Bryan took over the lead at the start o f the- game. They built it- up to-a 9 to 2 ^ount as the' first period ended. . , Cedarville matched Bryan point for point in the second quarter, but Btill did - not appear Impressive. The Cedars .were behind 17 to 10 at this stage o f the game. Few fans gave the red-clad basketballers a faint chance even then. A god many' spectators had left before this time, and now, a few more drifted out of the fieldhou; e, unaware o f tbe thrill­ ing game which was destined, to fo l­ low. - 1 , ' - « . It was interesting to watch the crowd-as the game progressed from that point. The teams Scored on about even terms ntast o f the third quarter, but the fans stilt failed to: take the challenging Cedars seriously until little Marcus Townsley, fresh- mqji forward, entered the contest and quickly tallied twice, He made .a short shot when he was surrounded by: the tall Yellow Springs boys and then connected with a long toss. That made, the scoreboard read: Cedarville 18 to Bryan 21 as - the buzzer sounded for the end o f the LoiiisBromfield NotedDemocratNot For Wickard Plan. Wo aw in rooeipt'of a copy o f a. communication written by Louis Bromfleld, noted writer author, farm owner and operator, at, Lucas, O., where he resides on a 1,100 acre farm: He has -been a staunch Democrat and New Dealer and has spent much time in Washington b y request due to hi* knowledge o f European conditions, He has since broken with tho- admin­ istration on the farm, policy a n d fs a Constant critif -at present o f Wickard and others who are but regimenting, agriculture, nob making increased production possible. , The writer sent out a long com­ munication over -the state; which boil­ ed down ia, that the- average farmer wants none o f the Wickard absurd* 100-million-dqllar subsidy. What the farmer wants is labor,-machinery and1 fertilizer to do an-honest, job. ' As to- the- “dream army o f three million unskilled, farm workers,; they* can be o f no aid -only as flpsH help needed for. harvesting fruits and veg­ etables He criticises-the'Wickard-tqlk tq the nation that- theqfeqple must-learn to do without and 'the farmer must work' harder and longer by forcing his family ahd children-into the fields,; while other labor enjoys banker’s in-> come. He. cites - the hundreds o f thousands o f bushels o f potatoes com tomatoes,*-soy beans, and other farm crop* raised-last year that could not he harvested arid, now rot on the ground, Bromfield says “It is impossible, and insane to expect the farmer with unharvested crops to lay out large sums of money for another crop with, no-prospect tit it even being.,harvest­ ed. He cites the fact that the farmer will eat and says when the- city folks become hungry, which is to happen, maybe,Washington will do- something about it. He blasts the form set up as being in the hands o f a “junta of politicians from Indiana ------ Paul i f Nutt, Claude Wickard, Gtenqral {Hqrshey and Clifford Townsend.” Together, they add up to an Indiana political machine with prodigious ambitions., . . .
