They PAYTON DAILY NEW? STUMBLED AND FELL , Jf ever a daily paper “ stuck its neck out” to meddle in political affairs in another county, leaving the impression that there was at least one county in the State that had more cor­ ruption. then even in Montgomery county, it was tin Dayton Daily News in the issue of Thursday, October 28th whim Greene county was pictured as a haven fo r Dayton's underworld. The editorial writer attempted to meddle in the factional fight Jfor Mayor in Yellow "Springs, a matter that should be settled by citizens o f that village. Strange to say the citi­ zens o f that village did that very thing but they disregarded the attempt o f the Ne’ws to have a part in local affairs. We have no interest in factional politics in a neighboring village hut we challenge the editorial writer to attempt to not only pan county officials on points o f law and order but at the same time cast reflection on Greene County Citizenship. There is probably no city in' the, state that needs some purification more than Dayton. In fa c t Montgomery county is fa r from having clean skirts. Yet the News-With a mote in its own eye as to local conditions would have the public be : lieve Greene County was a haven fo r gamblers and the under­ world. The News has been concerned about slot machines, numbers racket and professional gamblers, yet not a word has been said about raee horse gambling as it is protected by the Dayton city administration. W e admit there has been some gambling in Greene county and most o f it was operated by Dayton citizens. There have been slot machines and they were owned by Dayton interests. Court records w ill prove that most o f these Dayton operators in this county have been taken in by officials. When slot machines appeared both loca l and county authorities became active and the law enforced. The Daily News evidently used Greene County as a stalk ing horse fo r “ its purity campaign" just prior to an election and was repudiated by Dayton and Montgomery county elec­ tors. I t ’is openly evident Green-e county electoi’s were not influenced by the News smear campaign. ' The Herald would ignore critical editorial comment of what may or may not have happened in Greene County, undei both Republican or Democratic officials had the editorial not ' appeared during a-political campaign. The editorial was te slap Republican voters in this county fo r “ voting straight" Quoting from the editorial we find this: “ It is the commonest ■ thing in the world fo r a Steady rich and virtuous people suet as make up most o f Greene county to go to napping on theii - job as citizens, vote their party ticket straight and awake tc find their political cellars full o f rats." ■■ , , In view o f the fact the News editorial writer is much con­ cerned about conditions in Greene County we. wish to inforn our readers that authorities are checking the books fo r short ages, amounts yet undetermined, where a Montgomery, county Democratic clerk o f court, now deceased, held sway fo r a num- ■ her o f years. It took the combined e ffort o f the Judges cu Common Please Court-to‘ force the investigation. At no time have we ever read o f editorial comment approving o f the in vestigation or the attitude.taken by the honorable Judges. . Dayton city financial affairs evidently arc on the short side o f the ledger. An effort-has been made to have what is known as a permanent audit o f city affairs but the politicians oppose any plan that gives the taxpayer^ more protection Just Tuesday last the voters by a vote o f more than three t< one defeated a Special tax levy for the city. This turn dowr is nothing new. The voters know different. The News ha: time after time been critical because Gov. Briclcer would not ignore the state law on distribution and give the Dayton money spenders a larger share o f the sales tax that belonged to other counties in the State. It is common comment that only two cities in the state, Dayton and Cleveland, both financially broke, have attacked the, gov e rn o r because he himself would not turn, over state funds that belonged to the entire state. Governor Bricker must have received much consolation when he read the returns o f how Dayton voters turned down the News and the city administration. W e wish to call the News attention to the race horse gambl­ ing that is operated wjthiii less than a square o f the News, o f­ fice . , One place on Third street has two entrances, one on an alley 'near the main market place. Another on Fifth street just o ff Ludlow. It is not necessary to mention a dozen other places in that city that are conducted evidently with police protection. I f the News is not aware o f race horse gambling it had better start an investigation. We have given the tip. W e do not want to paint the ganibling picture any blacker than it really is. The News opened the issue. We leave the News to protect or’ expose gambling in the city and county, ' just as it wishes, but we will protest reflection that Greene county is a haven fo r gamblers-from Dayton. Evidently the voters o f Dayton were not satisfied with the work o f Judge Merrit E. Schlafman, chief justice o f the municipal court, a Democrat who has had several terms. He was defeated by his Republican opponent, evidently a shock to the News editorial writer. .. w Tuesday was a dark day in the political world fo r the News. Its idol, Franklin D., who posed before Drew Pearson and the five Senators home from the war front, in the rple, “ I am the Symbol of”Truth,” saw the Republican triumphs all over the nation. Even down in “ Dear old Kentuck", Senate Leader, (W PA ) Barkley, was handed a shock when that state turned Republican and elected governor following a plea that defeat would injure the Commander-in-Chief and the wax- effort. Evidently between losing the war and electing a Demo­ crat fo r governor,Jfche Kentucky electors risked their future in the hands o f the successful Republican candidate. It might be well fo r the News to Stay on its side o f the coun­ ty line. A ll the rightous are not on the Montgomery county s ide -n or all the gamblers on this side. I f so our authorities will take action just as the court records prove they have in many cases. We are a regular reader o f the News and the more we read the editorial page the more certain we are that we would rather chance the future o f the government in the hands o f Republicans determined to fight fo r the republic as did Washington. Jefferson and Lincoln, than to have our citi­ zenship regirixented as guinea pigs in the hands o f a Now York / F ifth Avenue socialite click that has prostituted the Democratic party f o r socialistic purposes. Eugene Debs had his day in try­ ing to unload his fantistic ideals and you will hear no more of the New Deal ten years from now than you hear o f Debs today. M. Cox faction and Vic Donahey fac­ tion of the Democratic party over to® re-appointment o f Attorney Calvin Crawford, U. S* District Attorney for the south-west section o f Ohio, He is said to have been one o f the best appointees in that office since the Democrats o f the nation took over the federal courts'. Judge Robert Nevin, Dayton, in whose court Craw­ ford is federal attorney, has given him a splendid endorsement, which in the past has had much weight in Wash­ ington. No one today could even predict what the Roosevelt Commun­ ists will do. I f Crawford has the ability and integrity to perform his duties he probably is slated to “ get the air". Ability is not a prerequisite o f the New Deal. We are given a tip that may or may not be true. Long about January 1st do not be surprised if you hear the New Deal is to drop both A and B gasoline cards for at least three months. Even C cards are slated to be cut fifty percent if the report is correct for the same period. In the rural counties it will be “ work harder, longer hours and for less” to be patri- itic, according to the Sage o f .Hyde Park. The Roosevelt’ s will Still ride on your gas. " The farmer without his gasoline vill be able to make,good the de- nand o f Roosevelt on the work pledge while organized labor is being given advances daily "in a thousand dif­ ferent ways- The farmer is now working for less and will continue to vork for less the coming year. Prices ire to go down under the OPA and a ‘.•Subsidy” is to be paid. Then the in- ome tax man stalks up and takes dl of the subsidy and much more, With the days o f 16c hogs now a nemory>. and hogs today in the 13c bracket, and going lower,- farmers hat would rather have the reduction, . hould be compelled to wear some ort. of a badge as a patriot' o f the 'Tew Deal following. Corn at $1 a rash'el and war wages at $10 and $12 i day certainly are anything hut fair o the farmer who puts in 16 hours laily. Such a situation'will continue o exist as long as you hire farmers ’'or a pitanceto “ sell out agriculture!’ o that organized, labor can have a -heaper living You cannot take the ribe money, “ subsidy or crop pay­ ments”, and be the independent citi­ zen yoUr forefathers were-. _ They Icaml the land, erected the homes ind helped to pave the way for a mndred years o f prosperity. ' Now he Communists would put the farm­ ers in the same class as the nation has held, what is left o f.th e American 'ndian, have not forgotten the $100,000 gift for the Roosevelt corruption fund in an election campaign. No politician can take $100,000 from even a group orvunion and then double cross them, whether it ia wages, foreign, policy or religion. A t Uniontbwn, Pa., the miner's union distributed bills urging all organized labor to vote the straight Republican, ticket as a re­ buke to Democrats, New Dealers and Roosevelt, the double-crosser. Watch what other labor- (organizations do should Roosevelt or Ickes use the army to force the'm iners back to work. The coal strike is the result of Roosevelt bungling, using miners as a means of clubbing John L. Lewis. Roosevelt would close schools, chur­ ches, and chill the homes o f the aged and children to fight Lewis, because he exposed the $100,000 campaign gift. I f your house is cold; if the schools and churches are closed, you cannot blame either Lewis or the miners. Place the blame where it be­ longs- I f you voted the New Deal; well that is something else, rather an individual matter between your vote two years ago and your con­ science today. Hoover, Coolidge, Wil­ son, Lincoln •or Jefferson certainly cannot be blamed for cold homes, cold schools or cold churches. . ‘V . .#■ The Moscow Conference in Russia last Saturday night wa3 “ some affair” if all press and radio reports are cor­ rect, One commentator says the eats began at eight o ’clock and the drinks lasted until Sunday morning. Another says the state dinner was a lavish drinking party lasting six hours. It is to be presumed i f all indulged in the Russian tradition for six hours, there could be nothing but general a- greement on any or all issues. Prob­ ably the proper term to be used would be “A ll had a good time if picketed.” Sec- o f State Cordell Hull did the honors for the'New Deal. With a six hour drinking party the spirit o f the “Prince o f Peace” found itself in new company, There is a time coming, in Decent- for, when the American farmer is to ')c reckoned as a first class citizen. During that month the farmer is to be ‘ntroduced to what business had last ’September in filing income tax dec- 'ara'tion. This is to be a new and level experiment, noble jn purposes, ind .probably one o f the best things he New Deal has done, not fo r the “aimer, but to the farmer. Take your ’he.ck book with you. There will -be x government agent on hand to take hack all the government has paid ’ou or is to pay you- I f you do not 'ike what has been cooked up fo r you, hist call at the AAA office and have Toe Mason rub our head with some •if the New Deal salve, The AAA sal­ ines come out o f the income tax money the government agent is to lematid o f you and few if any farm­ ers can escape. State Board Of ^ Health Approves Sewerage Plans A t the regular meeting o f village ;oun(:il Monday evening a letter was read from 'F .'H . Waring, chief ongi- leer fo r the State Board,Health, giv­ ing approval to the $25,000 disposal plant and returned the plans as meet­ ing state requirements. . . Waring in commenting on the situ ation said: “ In view o f the very unsanitary con­ ditions in” the vicinity o f The .Ohio Tubular Products Company plant where raw. sewage now discharges to in open flume, the proposed improve­ ments are deemed essential and every effort to bring them to completion be­ fore another summer should be made. Tt is understood that you can obtain much o f the critical materials from used stocks and elsewhere, and will inly need to purchase a small amount >i steel and the rotary distributor in the open market. We trust that you will do all possible and this de­ partment will be glad to lend* any possible aid if requested.” R. T. Parrish -is the engineer who drew up the plans and made the sur­ vey fo r the village. The. council un­ animously voted for the proposals. FIGHTING FOR LIBERTY Sen. Aiken, Rep., Ver.,-has uncover­ ed some o f the Roosevelt business foals that eat so much o f your tax money. The Maritime Commission, a New Deal outfit, recently paid $3,- 136,500 for five merchant ships which nly the year before had a value of 204,607. Tiie ships were old and elonged to the Waterman Steamship 'o. o f Alabama. Sen. Aiken has the lacking of the Comptroller General »s to the correct figures. This ex- iOflure is much in line with what a "aptain of a merchant vessel told the; witor on olir last trip north by boat roin Jacksonville, Fla-, to Philadel- ihia. . That company had sold a rtum- ' er o f old boats that had been in ser- ice fo r twenty-five years, for several Mines what they cost new. Such 1ransactionr. are necessary under the Itooftovolt rule o f economies to “keep down inflation” .

Even while homeward bound after a year o f fighting Japs in the skies over New Guinea, T-Sgt. Vincent A . Rigio, Jr., aerial photographer and gunner from Cedarville had an important mission to find his old pal, M. Sgt, Clyde Henderson, photography* and labora­ tory technician stationed at this air base. Fortune was with the flying ser­ geant, The schedule called fo r a stop­ over o f several hours before the ATC plane was due to take o ff fo r the Pacific coast. Still attired in M b flight togs, the sleek Olive drab gabardene coveralls worn by the bomber Crew­ men, Rigio left the. landing strip and hurried to the photo Jab office only to find that his friend had just gone to chow. - In turn Rigio dialed the squadron mess hall, quarters, NCO club—and while awaiting phone connections summed up his impressions o f more than 300 hoprs.of combat flying time. “ Say I would not trade that year for anything” , he declared, “ There’ s a hell o f a lot of satisfaction in lapw ­ ing that you had your hand in making the. world a. better place to live in.” He spoke proudly o f-h is bomber group,, the outfit with the skull and crossbombs insignia, the famous Jolly Rogers: “ That gang.has won a place in history just as sure as th® Rainbow division won it in the last war.” • Australia - was recalled pleasantly because it reminded him a lot o f home. “ I had, two furloughs in Syd­ ney.” he said, “ About the only- time 1 had o ff from shooting Japs and panoramas, And are those Australian ’people friendly—a Yank is welcome as a king". Questioned, Rigio spoke casually o f his decorations; ; “ There isn't much to it,” he said, “ no ceremony as there would be back home. What the hell— we've got a war toTight!” For his part in the .Papuan cam­ paign-bringing down nine Jap Zeros- the sergeapt was awarded the DFC with one oakleAf cluster and the air medal with two oakleaf clusters, the eqivalent o f five decorations. They were presented by Lt. General George Kenney*, Chief o f the Fifth Air Force, The phone rank and it was Hender­ son calling. Rigio, had beety .lucky to chalk up 425 hours o f flying time over hostile country without n scratch or bailout and that, luck-had not de­ serted him. There were still several hours left for the two war*buddies to have a visit. Sgt. Rigio expects to be assigned to photography cadet training which will eventualy bring him*a commission.
