BROWN Member o f Congress L)**' 'Ctlitlcal Washington has been all j&k over the “ Battle of the Statler” . In which two Navy officers—one an in­ valid hero o f the Battle o f Midway—■ Were attacked by several men, reput­ ed to be members o f the Teamsters Union, at the conclusion o f the dinner meeting at which President Roosevelt had Opened hi# campaign for reelec­ tion. The attackers insisted on know­ ing how the officers were going to vote, and a knock-down tight ensued. . One o f the “ plug uglies” ,claimed to be a personal friend o f the President and .threatened to-have the Navy officers disciplined for refusing to pledge their ^Support to the “ Commander-in-Chief." While the public press and radio gave much space and attention to the affair and the Army News Service mention­ ed it in overseas dispatches, the Navy and the Office o f War Information - censored the news item and prohibited- its use* In this connection it will be remembered that both the Navy and the OWI sent a complete report over seas o f Mr.. Roosevelt’s announcement that he would be a candidate for re- election. Resentment over thp unwar­ ranted attack against the two Navy heros, and the attempts o f the govern­ ment to surpress the story thereof, has caused Representative Rankin an- ti-New Deal Democrat of .Mississippi, •to announce he 'would demand a com­ plete and thorough Congressional in­ vestigation o f the whole matter when the national legislature reconvenes^ November. fee rationing, which was threatened, has been averted—at least for the time being. However, coffee will be fairly scarce for a time, at least, as will pugar, butter, pork ad good cuts o f beef. Egg# are becoming more rare, too, with Grade A eggs bringing 55 to 60 cents, and B grade 60. to 55 cents per dozen tin Washington. Inci- dently many present restrictions on men’s clothing, will be lifted soon, but the two pair o f trousers to, a single suit, and vests for double breasted suits, are still taboo. Discharged veterans o f this war are entitle^ to be employed without re­ gard to existing manpower controls. No honorably discharged service man will be required to present a certifi­ cate of availability or to have his ap­ plication '"approved by the United States Employment Service in order to take any job offered him. With the present manpower shortage existing it is hard to discern where our govern­ ment is being any too condescending to the men who fought and bled in its defense. The-serious drought of the Summer of 194^ which still holds on in many sections of the nation, may bring a- bout^ national legislation to greatly stimulate water conservation through the granting o f Federal aid for the construction of farm ponds and'dams, as well as fo r greatly expanding the program o f constructing flood control and impounding dams on navigable streams.

Agricultural Agent MILK MARKETING HEAR- ■ ING NOVEMBER 13— A public hearing on the proposed marketing agreement and other regu­ lations on the handling o f milk in the Dayton-Springfield Marketing area is to be held at the Miami Hotel, Dayton, November 13. The date for the hear' ing had been originally scheduled for October 19, but was postponed to Nov­ ember 13. According to War Food Administra­ tion officials the change in dates will give ample time for all interested par­ ties to prepare, briefs or any testi­ mony they wish to present at the hearing and to amend, if necessary, any proposals as written in the agree­ ment already prepared. Copies o f the original agreement may be received at the county agents office.-" ' The Dumbarton Oaks Conference, which .started o ff with such a fanfare o f publicity as being destined to pre­ pare for the coming peace, has ended In a deadly silence without the Con­ gress, the press or the American pub­ lic receiving any authoraitive informa­ tion as to what went on, or what un­ derstandings may have been reached. . However rumor has it that represen-1 hvl^ f 1“ » of the tru,Mn that this tatives of the various United Natiohs1>s the Iand o f opportunity, were unable to agree upon, any pri- All Washington, regardless o f po litical affiliation, has been saddened by the news o f the death o f America’s ‘Happy Warrior”—former Alfred E. Smith o f New York. Al - Smith, the man With the brown derby, was the Presidential candidate Of the Demo­ cratic pai-ty in 1928. In 1936 he broke with President Roosevelt and support- tod the Republican candidate, A lf Landbn, that -year, and again bolted Roosevelt in 1940. He was also one of the outstanding Catholic laymen of the nation.! As a man who, by his own efforts and sterling worth, came up from the slums of New York City to a place o f leadership in the nation, he became known to almost' every man, woman and child in America—a mary method by which they themsel­ ves would be governed in case o f fu- . ture international disturbances. David Lawrence, well known publi­ cist fend long a supporter o f the Pres­ ident's foreign policy, last week, in his United States - News, editorially charged Prime Minister Churchill and President Roosevelt, with the respon­ sibility o f prolonging the war in Eu­ rope, thus making one o f the biggest Red CrossWorkers Are Needed . The Red Cross Surgical Dressing Center is well supplied with materials both for folding and sewing. Workers are needed, especially for Tuesday and'Wednesday afternoons at 1:80 to 4:30.

I The following is taken from an article published in The Colum- hui Dispatch on January 23rd, 1944, written by LOUIS BBOMFIELD (Democrat) famous AUTHOR and COLUMNIST (also noted farmer in his own right near Mansfield, Ohio.) • Says Mr* Broomfield! “ From a book written by a man who was Rex. Tugweirs assistant in the department of agriculture (undersecretary Henry Wallace) in the early days of the Roosevelt administration when the “ gang” worked more openly than now . *, . It reads “ Some day, some leader or some party will be compelled to rouse the people AGAINST the FARMER and CRUSH him as an obBtacje to the national welfare . . . as he has been CRUSHED in evferynation and age which has experienc­ ed his predominance. The fact that it is GOOD POLITICS Row td"help the farmer is going to make it BETTER POL­ ITICS In the FUTURE TO IGNORE HIM*” Mr, Broomfield continues i STRANGE WORDS FROM A KEY MAN IN THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICUL­ TURE .. ^.. Bat I think it give* a due to the department's disintegration ..... THE FRIENDS OF THIS MAN STILL DOMlNATE*THE DEPARTMENT........... (This man now writes a newspaper column uhder. another name, a famous NEW DEAL trick, devoted largely to de­ fending their curious activities.” WAKE UP MR. FARMER-*-THE GETTING IS LATE! CLOVER LEAF CLUB ELECTS OFFICERS— Bill Kyle o f New Jasper Twp. was elected president o f the Clover Leaf Club at a meetig o f the group at Jamestown last week. Other officers elected were Clarence Williamson, vice president; Margaret Stormont, secretary and Catherine Ferguson, treasurer and Franklin Boots, recrea­ tional leader. ARTIFICIAL BREEDING ASSOCIATIONS— Four cooperative artificial breeding associations operate in 38 Ohio coun­ ties and have .6265 members who own 44,675 cows* The association member pays a small fee to join and then pays for breeding services in proportion to the number o f cows owned, Sentiment is growing in the county for such an association since service from proven bulls is sucured without the cost and danger o f keeping a hull on the farm. Records show that the annual cost o f keeping a hull will run from $125 to $150 a year, a cost which a farmer with only a few cows cannot afford, PREVENT FARM FIRES— Farm buildings next to the land it­ self constitute thb greatest physical asset o f our agriculture. Last year more than 40,000 farm buildings were destroyed by fire and with them 3500 lives were snuffed out. This is an ap­ palling loss and waste o f life and property. Especially when so much o f it could have been, prevented by padper precautions. This is Fite Pre­ vention Week. Join in by routing out the fire buzzards in your home and on your farm. TURKEY DAY OCTOBER 12— ----- Turkey Day will be held at the Poultry Building at Ohio State Uni­ versity October 12, beginning at 10 o- clock* H. C. McDougle o f the Veteri­ narian College, University o f ^Missouri will discuss diseases and their control.

Indications are that hogs will go to market somewhat lighter than last year because o f the shorter corn crop and Jto avoid dock­ age because o f overweight* SOYBEANS ON THE TABLE— Time was when soybeans stayed in the bam, hut today We are finding them on our tables in various and sundry forms. Along With other food substitutes which we are beeomimg acquainted with, the soybean is served to us in various ways. The edible soybean is to he found in teeny home gardens this year and many inquiries have been received on how to shell the green beans. To save your ihnger nails, drop the freshly -picked pods in boiling water and cook Until the pods begin to pop open, or about five minutes. Lift them out and shell. • BALANCE PIGS TO FEED— Farmers planning to raise more hogs than they can take care o f with the feed they have are taking a big chance. Howdver, if they have home grown grains, they laro justified in feeding just as many hogs as they can take care o f properly, Evert though reports indicate Sizable supplies o f grains, most o f the feed is not located in the area o f heavy llvstock produc­ tion.

The plunk plunk against the board has .given way to the roar o f the corn pick er. About half o f the seventy-five acre com crop on the College farm is about a half crop.
