CEDARVILLE, OHIO, FRIDAY, .NOVEMBER 10,1944 PRICE, $1.50 A YEAR CONGRESSIONAL HAPPENINGS IN WASHINGTON By CLARENCE J. BROWN Member of Congress By the time this column appears in 4«jjyprint aH over- Election Day will have come and gone. As we write this on Saturday, Novembers 4th, just three days before election—our intel­ lect and judgment tell us the results' of the Presidential race will be very clos£, but our political ‘‘hunch” keeps insisting, from the background,^ the race will not be close at all, especially as far as the electoral votes are con­ cerned. Tuesday will tell the story as to whether our cool analytical judg­ ment or our “hunch” has been right. Now the election is over it‘s back to the legislative "grind for the 435 Rep­ resentatives and the 90 Senators who have been back home; actively cam­ paigning for the past several weeks, for Congress will reconvene on next Tuesday, November 14th, to take up one of the heaviest legislative sched­ ules which has ever awaited a post­ election session. The national legis- •lators are expected to remain in active session up to Within a few days before Christmas and may even continue ses­ sions through the Holidays and up un­ til January 3rd when the 78th Con­ gress will automatically be adjourned sine die, and the new 79th Congress which was elected Tuesday, will be sworn in. A majority of those in the best po­ sition to know, here in Washington, a:e confident the war in Europe wi” be brought to a successful conclusion before January first, .-although it is quite possible, of course, some spora­ dic guerrilla fighting may continue af­ ter that time. In . this connection it must be remembered that when Pripv Minister Churchill,' ten days ago made his dire prediction the war against Germany might last until next sum-, mer, he was actually engaged .in a parliamentary maneuver, to prevent an election being held for choosing a new British Parliament. Great Britain has- not had a general election since before the war broke out in Europe. Instead the Parliament has been continued in office, and only, a few vacancies have been filled by elections.- However, re­ gardless of any result a European peace may bring in British pol­ itics, practically all Americans are praying for an early and conclusive victory ovpr the Nazi forces. The great offensive against Germany, which it is hoped will be the last and winning one, may come at any mo­ ment if it/has not already started by the time this appears in print. Ger­ many is growing very short of both manpower and military supplies, and her armies will be unable to- long cope with the Allied power to be thrown a- gainst them. Nazi leaders already know the. war is lost arid defeat is in­ evitable. Most Washington observers believe the great American naval'victory over the Japanese in.the Philippines area will shorten the Pacific war by many months. In fact, peace overtures are expected to borne from Japan within the not too distant fjiture, arid many . believe the ultimate and crushing de­ feat of the Japanese will come at a comparatively early date after the ending of the war in Europe. The best guess is it will take three or four mon­ ths, following victory over Germany, before America and Britain can switch their full power to the Pacific theatre of war, and from six to nine months longer to win a complete victory over Japan, This time may be materially shortened if Russia enters* the conflict as many confidently believe she will. So, if plans work out, the Japanese war should end somq time during 1945. * . : One 6f the battles going on behind the scenes on the home front right V now and, which is expected to break into the open before long, is over TOPPED COUNTY VOTE PAIN TO NEW DEALERS ROBERT A. TAFT .viiat the American Lend-Lease policy shall be toward Great Britain, once Germany is defeated. It is reported British leaders are desirous Lend- Lease funds be made available for the •ebuilding of British industry and the e-establishment of British trade, nee TIitler is vanquished. However, here is strong support among Amer- jan officials, and especially in the 'ongress,' to drastically1reduce Lend- .case aid to Great Britain once the European conflict ends, granting that- ation only such aid as may be neq- ssary to support her participation in he war against Japan, and that any nances furnished for the rehabilita­ t e of British industry should be pur. v and strictly on a business loan ba- is. Once the war with Germany ends, iany war contracts will be immedia- .■ly,canceled, while others will be Irasticully reduced. War spending is ■xpeoted t >be cut from forty to fifty er cent within ninety days after V- J Day. The result will be temporary, ronomic.dislocation and several .mil- on un-employed, unless reconversoin i -Ians are npeeded up. American in- I .ustry is doing everything possible to j •el ready for the change-over to the -reduction of civilian goods, but some overnmental agencies are placing iany obstacles in the way. There will e a heavy demand for civilian pro- .ucts, and a scarce supply,.which may lean inflation prices at the same into‘millions are losing their war jobs nd the national income is being dras- icallv reduced. Predictions are being freely made hat .the immediate weeks following he election will bring an outbreak of trikes in various industries through- iut the country. ■ Union leaders feel hey must cash in quickly on the bar- raining advantage they now have as a (.’suit of the present worker shortage, f Mr. Rooseveltds reelected he will be •ailed upon to break the Little Steel ormula in line, wjlli pre-election as- urances given CIO officials. This in tsoif, will not only lead to other de- tiands for increased wages and result n strikes, but will also add to the in- lationary trend/ Father-Son F. F. A.

Corn picking is over on the College farm for this year The yield is less than last year but good considering the prolonged drouth. -Rev. Paul McLaughlin, ’34, will rep­ resent Cedarville College at the inau­ guration cf Dr. George A. Bowman, as president of Kent State University on Nov, 18th. Rev. McLaughlin is pas­ tor of a rural Presbyterian Church near Kensington, Ohio. The College students held an "elec­ tion party” at the home of Miss Doris Townsley, Tuesday night . to receive election returns, Who is headed up “Salt River” was the problem to be solved. The college students enjoyed a Wei­ ner roast at the Anderson cabin near Yellow Springs, Thursday night of last week. It was a sort of an "inside- out side” affair according to Dr. Jur- ket’s interpretation.. MAYOR ELEVATED OHIO LEGISLATURE CHARLES F, GREER LOWELL FESS Ohio stood loyally by Thomas E. Dewey and Governor John W. Bricker at the polls Tuesday, even though the Republicans lest governorship to the Cleveland Mayor, Frank Lausche. The only other. Democrats to land on the state ticket were Joseph Ferguson, in­ cumbent, for state auditor, and possi­ bly George D. Nys for lieutenant gov­ ernor. The two branches of the legis­ lature will be Republican by large ma­ jorities, which will not be what the New Deal tax-spenders want and have had.their eye on, the $100,000,009 sur­ plus in the state treasury. Neither can Lausche take the sales tax from the rural counties for the metropoli­ tan cities. •In the nation Roosevelt is given a- round 35 states with 413 electoral vote's while Dewey received support from 13 states with 118-electoral votes and a larger vote than was received by Wendell Willkre. Dewey received far more votes in the solid south than did Willkie, which'of course was a protest vote from conservative Demo­ crats but this was not enough to. up­ set the (‘solid south”. The Senate will remain New Deal but from the House reports, the com­ bination of Republicans and Southern ' Democrats will be the balance of pow­ er on many issues from international­ ism down to states rights. Two very . important issues will not be possible ' under the • 79th -Congress that will meet in January. The passage of the anti-lynching bill and the right of ne- ' gro and poor whites to get a -vote in -’ the “solid south” due to the poll tax, Roosevelt has- the power to use the army to protect negro voters in the south but lie has never done more than lip service for political effect. Should Roosevelt resign or be removed by death lie would be succeeded by a vice president with no sympathy for the | negro due to his southern environment I That was an issue at the. Democratic; convention when Roosevelt forced the nomination of -Truman. This -was to appease the southern Democratic vote that had become incensed a t the part Mrs, F. D, R. had played in many pub­ lic utterance.- Greene county remained as . it has always been, traditionally American, as the heavy vote and majorities giv­ en Tuesday prove. Every candidate on the Republican ballot from president to coronor was given loyal support. The issues of the campaign were un­ derstood and the majority vote given the Republican candidates was very pleasing to Republican leaders and es­ pecially the candidates. Several hundred Democrats of the Jeffersonian school left the New Deal internationalists and joined in a pro­ test vote against the Red radicals that featured the Democratic campaign. The Democratic farm ' element feat/ Ji ed in the election returns/ this being a protest vote against the New Deal. That the county Could remain conser­ vative Republican with thousands of out-of-state immigrants in war work indicates a large part of the Democ- cratic vote left the New Deal. _Governor Bricker’s popularity in the county drew some Democratic sup­ port and from surface indications qnd results prove the vote Went to the long list of "straight-ballots” that was found in each precinct of the county.
