BROWN Member o f Congress The 73th Congress convened on schedule a t 12 o ’clock' noon; January 3rd as provided by the Constitution: A fter the Membership, 439 made up o f 213 Democrats, 190 Republicans and 2 independents, took the oath, Representative Sam Rayburn, Demo­ crat, Texas, was elected speaker over the Republican candidate, Representa- ^ tive Joseph W.

Our national debt at the dose o f World War X was only twenty-six. and a half billion. Today it is fast approaching the two hun­ dred and fifty billion mark, Bank de­ posits are so high, and currency cir­ culation is so great that, if the trend continues, it will soon be necessary to lower the gold reserve requirements or to take some other action to meet the situation which is giving grave concern^ to the more serious students o f government finance. COAL DEALERS ASK LABOR COST UNDER CEILING The organization o f the new House went along according to form and pre­ diction until the Resolution adopting the Rules o f the House was offered; whereupn Democratic Congressman John E, Rankin; Miss., threw a bomb­ shell into the proceedings by offering, an amendment to establish the Com­ mittee on Un-American Activities (al­ so known as the Dias Committee) as a permanent standing committee of the House. Previously, and through­ out its life, the Dies Committee had been a Special House Committee which automatically passed out o f existence at the end o f each Congress and had to- be reauthorized by action o f each hew Congress. The- Committee had long been opposed by the .Roosevelt Administration, and the Liberal and Radical- elements o f the country. Soon after the November elections, many statements were issued that the Com­ mittee Would not be re-established by the- new Congress; and the books and records; which included files pn thous- ands o f Government, employees accus- hd o f radicalism; would be turned over the the Clerk o f the House, and later to the Library o f Congress, which is tinder Administration control. Admin­ istration leaders in the House, includ­ ing Democratic Leader McCormick, vigorously fought the. Rankin Amend­ ment,>but, when the roll call ended, the Committee had been made a per­ manent one by a vote o f 207 to 186, It is the first time in the more than 150 years o f the nation’s legislative his­ tory such action has been taken. It was a major defeat for the President and his more radical supporters. Also by this action the. House o f Represen- atives, within less than two hours af­ ter its life began, gave notice to the country ’ the 79th Congress will do its own. thinking and own voting. Chester Bowles, head o f the Office o f Price Administration,. is reaping the whirlwind as the result of his ‘'Christmas Gift” order cancelling food' stamps which the housewives Of the country had,been assured would be good indefinitely. Not only has he jbeeii the target o f unfavorable cAr- tobns; newspaper articles, radio com­ ment, ahd -congressional speeches, but he has also brought down upon his head,-in .almost every section o f the - country, runs on other rationed gdods, Sftch as shoes, and heavy increase in “ bjackrtiarket” Operations, Bowles is quoted as having said, at a luncheon meeting in New' York last week, that a mistake was made In cancelling food stafnps, due to an underestimation o f the number o f housewives who would be affected, From his statement it seems he continues to hold the idea it is proper to break his official word and to violate the rights qf a minor­ ity-so long as that fjnority is not too large and too vocal. Congressional, criticism o f Bowles’s action is so Strong the final result may be his resignation or removal— and there is eveh some talk o f impeachment pro­ ceedings, Blackmarket operations, which have been increasing steadily for some time; took a sharp jump upward, after - the Bowles food stamp cancellation announcement. Food stores report housewives •are buying goods and cashing their food stamps more rapid Ijr than ever, Shoe stores in the East are swamped with customers despite Bowie’s, assurance shoe coupons will not be invalidated* Long lines o f aU? tomohilep w*it at every gasoline sta­ tion, where a supply ip available, with the result that a serious portage ex­ ists, Gasoline, on the blackmarket in Washington, is bringing seventy-five etntu to A dollar * gallon. Not all, but a great proportion o f this trouble, can be traced directly to the action o f I f * Bowles and the 0PA In breaking the government's word to the people* A t the very moment Administration leaders are raising the hue and Cry over a shortage o f munitions and oth­ er war material fo r the fighting fo r­ ces, and accusing the home front of falling down on production, other Ad­ ministration officials are starting to dispose o f over one billion dollars worth o f what, they term to be sur­ plus war goods. Last week the Treas­ ury Department offered for sale twenty-eight million Army first aid bandages fo r use as dust /cloths, all as good as new and wrapped in separate sanitary containers. Their excuse is the type o f dressing has been changed, But pephaps a wounded American, boy would rather have the old style band­ age than none at all. . " , M ANY FARM BOYS M A Y BE GALLED Under the work or fight order is­ sued by Roosevelt to the Selective Service boards in the country, the two iccal boards will be compelled to re­ classify 225 or more farm cases if .hey are 26 or under. •With Board No. i there are some 100 boys that have aad their medical examinations but have been given deferments.. Young men even below physical re- luirements in most cases will be call­ ed for some- part' of war service. The new order really calls for all men from 18 to 37 but the first group | -o be reclassified is in the 18-26 range Men within these ages who have not work within the. meaning o f the draft jail will be given a .chance to get into war work or the army. The labor turnover in war industries in the ci­ ties has been alarming, yet the gov­ ernment would take men from regular jobs in the 18-26 bracket and permit the slacker group to g o back to indus­ try, Hie government fears the reac­ tion of organized labor in the cities where deferments have been granted Wholesale in the past, largely for po­ litical purposes. KMURMHIWIUlHHIUWlia ALONG FARM FRONT E. A, Drake, Go. Agricultural Agent When the OPA filed suit against a number o f coal dealers in this section o f the state, charging over-charge in prices under the ceiling, things got hot for the New Deal, but a shadow of chills for con* ” mers out of fuel began to appear, j . „ere were some thirty- five or more coal and feed dealers in a district meeting at Xenia last Thurs­ day night. Counties represented were Greene, Clinton, Fayette, Warren and Clark. Other counties could not send delegations due to the roads and the wea'ther. The center o f discussion hovered over the cost o f delivering coal under present labor wages over what they were in 1941. Dealers in each county will form a county organization and a representative.from each county, with an alternate, will form the district committee Greene county formed an organization following the meeting. R. E.- Crone, Osborn, presided for the district group with James D. Mil­ ler, Trebines, as vice president. Ken­ neth Stewart, Alpha, secretary, A committee composed of Frank Creswell, Cedarville; O. B. Armstrong Osborn; and John John R. McNamee, Xenia, was named to draw up a con­ stitution and by-laws. The unfair part of the suit against thirteen different dealers. in federal court was that not a dealer in the state had ever been given any instruc­ tion on how to follow the ceiling. The dealer naturally followed the economic rule of advancing the price the amount 1Leonard Flatter his delivery was costing under the high wage scale. The government al­ lowed the mine operators to . increase the price o f coal to dealers to cover the increased cost when John L. Lewis was given a higher wage rate to the miners. .

The wheat has been stored on a' concrete platform at Los Angeles! Calif. This is part o f the 1,800,000 bushels' of wheat purchased last year by the government. The wheat is not fit for milling now and will go to feed live stock. This is one of the methods: of the New Deal to hold down the price of local wheat to “ parity.” Several million bushels' of wheat were pur­ chased last year from Canada in the. fa ce ’of a large carry-over crop.

HOME CULTURE CLUB MEETING POSTPONED FOR MONTH The Home Culture Clubmeeting for January has been postponed for the month.

The packers will draw a larger subsidy under the new order than they have been getting. The subsidy ' is paid from your income tax money. Thp ceiling was set at*$18 a hun­ dred instead o f $17,50 as originally proposed. The order goes into effect on January 29. The catch in the ceil­ ing plan is that all cattle are to be graded into three classes, something the feeder has nothing ,to say about The new overall ceiling, covering calves as well as cattle will be lower­ ed to ;|17:50 on July 2. The subsidy payments to packers is increased from $1 to $2 a hundred weight, and on good beef from $1.45 to $1.96 a hundred weight, Chicago basis. The subsidy payment on choice Cattle will be cut on July 2. OPA and the War Food Adminis­ tration will increase the price o f the present stabilization range for choice cattle by $1 and for good cattle by 50 cents a hundred pounds, live weight, over the entire country. . On July 2 the maximum and minimum of the stabilization range for choice cattle will be reduced by 50 cehts a hundred pounds. It will be a violation for a slaughter to pay more on the average— grade and yield considered—than the maxi­ mum- prices o f the stabilization range for cattle purchased and slaughtered over a month’s period. This provision does not include calves. The OPA and WFA can order the limit on number o f cattle to be killed over a period o f a month’s time. The directive issued by a Now Deal­ er that never fed a calf or pailed a ccw, says there will be no “ reiluction. in prices o f live cattle’ ’uhder the or­ der. What is of interest to the feeder is not so much the price now but how is there protection from unfair grad­ ing of cattle under the above classes ? The packer has the feeder at his neck. In addition the packer draws $2 a hundred subsidy from the New Deal that uses your income tax money, not for the war but to force Communistic ccntrol over term products. ; Capt. G.

Greene Tops Ohio - In “E” Bond Sale Famous Dog JRides Airplane In Trip Across (County as Military Must Wait Not Haying MA -In Priority For Seat— Two Seats Reserved for '-One Dog Starts Military Tongues Wagging As Crew “W a lk s - t h e -D ^ ^ This is more than a dog story,. It is a story about a famous dog, famous because it is the pet o f a member of our First or royal fam ily.' This dog story is not about “ Fala”, the famous White House canine'that enjoyed the distinction o f once being the “forgotten dog” when the royal contingent was taxing around the Pacific some months ago. Riding a war vessel is for only .a few to enjoy, so “ Fala” had what American citizens cannot enjoy only b y wearing the uni­ form. While “ Fala” presides at the White House this dog, the subject*of this story, has been in-, the Washington royal family, and no doubt was intro­ duced • in perfectly canine fashion, or at least in conformance to White House or yde PHatk social standards. The dog we have in mind no doubt has a name but we are not familiar With it, W e do not know whether it is a “Fannie or a Buster” type dog. It js a famous dog because it travels “ a-la-Roosevelt". A famous dog .arrived at a govern- . menfc airport, Osborn a few dys ago. This dog had the honor of being a passenger on an airplane with a “ rat­ ing o f “ A -l” . That is the top priority rating for an airplane seat. You of course have been reminded in many ways that we are at war. At least one dog knows it by his passenger rating. ... You have heard it said it was “ Sol­ diers or the military first” before ci­ vilians get a seat on an airplane, Now, we hear at least one dog superceed ed in priority rating even the highest ranking'’ soldier or. the lowest private in the ranks. In war time or peace time even a dog from the royal family comes .first, even over the majors; gen­ erals,. or the Democratic politically appointed and favored captains. Gosh, how it must burn the military to stand at attention while the air ,crew loads and unloads a dog of the Roosevelt family. The tragedy o f the situation is that two soldiers were to board a certain plane at Osborn one day this week but they did not . have more than a “priority” rating. A Roosevelt dog with an “ A -l” rating comes first and the military was left behind. Two soldiers naturally would re­ quire two seats. This famous, dog had first rating on t\%o seats and fo r 260 pounds o f baggage. That is traveling “ in-state” as is expected of royalty. This poundage has not been fully explained. We do not know how much was food, liquids or wearing apparel, or how much was in equipment for the “ wet nurse” contingent o f the airplane crew, Shipping instructions required the crew to “ mother” -the passenger. It was no doubt amusing to the soldiers that did not rate a passenger on that plane to stand aside and watch orders being fulfilled by the crew. "Walking the dog” between the “ post office and the depot” on a special mission, and yet fulfilling shipping instructions no doubt gave the two soldiery a story fo r the boys “ on all fronts.” Mrs. Elliott Roosevelt, is the newest member of the royal family, being the third wife o f young Elliott Roosevelt, who at one time was a .“ gasoline in­ spector” at Wright Field at a fancy salary. “ Doggie” was being shipped front Washington to California, Os­ born military is all agog. The military calls the event a public scandal. What does the dog care or even cafe what you think or even say. ^ Who footed the bill for the “ twot* seat” passenger ticket and the 260 pounds o f freight?
