Schroeder has been & warded a divorce from Walter F. Schroeder. TITLE QUIETED Title tq real estate hasjbeen or­ dered quieted in the suit o f Warren K. Drake against Benjamin W. Eaton and others. • ' The New Deal dictators attempted to .place Ohio, Michigan and Illinois in the restricted gasoline area along with Eastern states to A p p e a s e east* ern Democratic politicians that -want­ ed these Republican stately cut to 1 and 1-2 gallons o f gas a week on “ A ” cards. Midwest Congressmen, from a number of states organized and namf. ed a committee to fight the proposal to the end. The New Deal proposed to leave Indiana out o f the list due to that state having a Democratic governor. But the Republican Con­ gressman from that state joined with more than 100 Congressmen from mid-west states. . The Committee elected Clarence J. Brown, Seventh District, O., as chair­ man, with Paul Cunningham, Iowa, as secretary. The gas committee met with Sec. Ickes and his chief deputy, Ralph K. Davis. Assurance was given there was no intention <|f placing mid-western automobile own­ ers under further restrictions. The argument that most refineries in the mid-west were over-stocked with gasoline impressed Sec. Ickes. It was- pointed out the problem Of gasoline for the east states was ship­ ments,'not a fuel shortagelas claimed.. It has been admitted that we may face.a shortage o f lubricating oil in the near future due to large ship­ ments to England -and Russia. The more lubricating oil produced the more gasoline is taken from crude ■oil.' ■■ ■ t The President, through the Treas­ ury Department, is asking this session o f Congress to increase the tax in­ come o f the Federal government by at least sixteen billion dollars per year. The Administration is recom­ mending individual income taxes be drastically increased by as'much :>s fifty per cent in some brackets., ‘ Members the-Ways and Means Com­ mittee; Charged'with tho responsibility o f bringing in all revenue bills, are generally opposed to any increase in individual income taxes at this time, inasmuch an most .income .taxpaers will pay an increase of twelve ahd one-half per cent itt taxes during 1944 and 1945 under the provisions of re­ cently enacted tax collection legis­ lation. A slight increase in the al­ ready heavy corporation tax rates will! be considered, and increases in .pres­ ent, excise taxes may be expected. -Consideration is also being given to the levying o f a general sales tax, but the Administration is opposed thereto. Incidently, taxpayers may get some help from the bill by Senator. Bridges o f New Hampshire to make premiums paid on all life insurance in force and effect on December 7th, 1941; tip to one thousand dollcrs—or ten percent o f net income, whichever is- the lower-ra deductable item and, therefore, not subject to tax. There is much support fo r the Bridges pro­ posal and it ihny be written into law. A recent survey and check made by Selective Service inspectors have disclosed many draft Registrants eli­ gible for military service have been overlooked or wrongly classified. As a result a more careful check of draft classifications may be made on a nation-wide basis, and it will not be surprising if a new group o f se­ lectees totaling about 10 per cent of all of those registered, may be found eligible fo r induction. I f future de­ velopments brin^ about such results the drafting o f fathers will not be­ gin In August, as.originally predicted by General Hersbey, but will be de- lawey until Autumfi, and perhaps even until some time next Winter.

Elam, as administrator of the estate of Louise Elate, have been authorized to transfer real estate. While the President’ s new Office of War Mobilization is receiving much publicity and its head, Justice Byrnes, is being, mentioned as Assistant Pres­ ident and all o f that, these who are in the best position to know insist that the real ‘power behind the throne* is Harry Hopkins, White House res ident and long-time personal advisor to the President. Serving with Hop- kips as A part o f the inner circle ad visory group are Judge Samuel Rosen man, Ben Cohen and Justice Felix Frankfurter. They are reputed to be the teal war cabinet which gives the orders to Director o f War Mobiliza tion Byrne# and all the so-called Czars in charge o f price control, ra­ tioning, and food, rubber and war materiel production matters, Justice Byrnes may be the Czar o f Czars— $10,000 DAMAGE SUIT * W Suit demanding $10,000 damages for personal injuries suffered in an auto accident, July 8, 1942, has been filed in Common Pleas Court by Mrs. Ben Bolden, Dayton av„ against R. u.

Less Meat Predicted For Cincinnati Milk Rationing Is Predicted By Sep t Columbus—Leaders in the Ohio State Milk Producers’ Federation de­ clared milk rationing is a possibility by September. Unless we can have an increase in the price o f milk to producers soon there will be an actual shortage that will be keenly felt in all quarters, There are now less farms in the state producing milk the food ration reports and production per farm is far below last year’s level and is re­ ceding gradually a t this time. In­ creased cost in production and unusual demand fo r milk fo r processing means less milk fo r home consumption.

NEW POSTAL RULES ON ADDRESSED MAIL The War Food Administration Order for diverting 45 per cent of all slaughtered beef by Cincinnati pack era for government use, means there won’t be any beef at all fo r civilian consumption at Cincinnati, says the Cincinnati Tlmeso Star, The govern­ ment demands the best steer and heifer beef for lease-lcnd leaving the lower grades o f beef for city con­ sumers. The demand fo r bologny and ham­ burger meat exceeds demand for bet­ ter cuts and old cows and bulls go for that purpose, The abbatoirs on Saturday unloaded all dressed meat to local retailers before the time for enforcement o f the government Order. The postal department is inaugur­ ating a new system for handling mail in the larger cities. Each city will be divided into zpnes by number; Mail to that city must have the zone num­ ber following the name o f the city, .Those who have friends -and relatives in cities should learn which zone they reside in. The1new rule will enable quicker deliyery o f mail. AC. James H, Finney, sort of Mrs, Donna B.

Armour, -Swift, Wilson and other packers bid down on thd Monday mayket to offset the ceiling price the ’ New Deal has placed on retail beef.

Can1A ll You Can; Buy A ll You Can * The housewife' that listens to the New Deal prattle, about -there, being food for all just-because we have reg­ imentation and rationing, is no sign that you will be able to get canned goods at’ the grocery this fall and winter any more than ration stamps will get beef now in most city meat stores. You might have a handful o f money but money will not purchase ‘ what cahnot be found on the store shelves. ' ‘ - The canners o f all fruits and vege­ tables are greatly handicapped this year.’ It was months before the New Deal would let canners know ^ust how much sugar they Were -to get. This ' was necessary .before Contract was made for fruits or vegetables. An­ other prohiem was to know-how many I tin cans Would be available or even glass. The canners cannot pay-war wages o f government standard and sell at Ceiling prices. Labor is scarce and no one knows even how much o f all crops will he gathered due to labor shortages. A t present the prospect fo r fruits and vegetables fo r civilians are slim with the government taking most o f the pack, . The situation causes the New Dealers to worry but canners predict they will be unable to meet last year’s output regardless Of Hie crops. The housewife had better can All she can from her own garden ahd buy for winter storage all her coupons will permitof fruits and vegetables.
