BROWN Member o f Congress _ ~ At last it is official: All “A card” j w motorists are to receive fifty percent jn<*e gasoline, beginning June 22nd, A coupons will be worth six gallons each, instead of four gallons as in the past. “ B card” holders will- have theh; gasoline allotments increased -on June 11th to permit as'much as 650 miles o f travel per month, where need is shown. . There will also be a slight ; lifting o f other restrictions on gaso- ' line usuage, hut A,Q card" holders and users must continue to substantiate their need for the gasoline granted them. . ■According to the House Pood In- . yestigatipg Committee, and reports from government agencies, the sugar shortage during the next few months will be even more serious than at first expected. Sugar allotments for home canning have been reduced to fifteen pounds per person, with the applicant being required to submit a list o f the fruits and vegetables; to be . canned, the amount o f sugar to be us- • ed 'for each, and etc. Commercial in-, dustrial users-of sugar will receive but fifty percent or less of the quotas granted them last year. Candy ,soft drink, and ice. cream manufacturers, 'and quota granted them last year. Candy, soft drink, and icecream man- , facturers, and bilkers and restaurant operators will be especially hard hit as a result o f the drastic reduction in sugar rations for commercial use, . While many rumors o f Cabinet charges have been floating around a- bout Washington for some time, Pres­ ident Trumans naming of three new Cabinet Members in one day came as . a political surprise. Federal Judge and Former U. S. Senator Lewis B. Schwellenbach, of Spokane, "Wash., “ long a'personal friend of the Presi­ de.;.. has beeif named as Secretary of Labor to succeed Madame Perkins.. . !fom C. Clark of Texas, now serving as Assistant Attorney General, will take the place o f Francis Biddle as Attorney General, and Clinton P. An­ derson, o f New Mexico, Chairman of the House Special Food Investigating Committee, lyill replace Claude Wick- ard as Secretary o f Agriculture. , All three, men as well as Robert E. ,Han-‘ negan of Missouri, who was named two weeks ago to be the new post­ master General, will take office, on July 1st. It is the general comment on Capital Hill the new appointees will strengthen the President’s cabinet Attorney General Biddle ’ has long been considered a parlor pink, and disliked and distrusted 1 during his service as Attorney General, while Madame Perkins and Secretary Wick- ard have been best known for their ' ..inefficiency, and lack o f ability. When Anderson becomes Secretary o f Agri­ culture; he will also take over as War Food Administrator, thus centraliz­ ing most o f the governments control over food production, supply and dis­ tribution in the hands of one man for which Republican Members of; Con­ gress have been fighting fo r a long time. Anderson, who as head o f the House Special Food Investigating ' Committee, has been quite critical of ’ the? bureaucratic bungling of the whole food problem, no wfaces the gigan­ tic task o f cleaning up the present mess, He is. in favor o f a.price policy which will permit the producer* pro­ cessor and the retailer of meat and food to make a fair and reasonable profit, and has advised his collegues in Congress the President has assur­ ed him hd will be permitted to make .his own decisions and his own poli­ c ie s when he .takes over his new job. Those who were hopeful Harry Hopkins would soon drop out of pub- life were surprised and disappointed over President Truman’s designation j Of-HOpkins as a special envoy to Rus­ sia, despite the fact .that he knows Stalin well, engineered the original Lend-Lease arrangements and agree- njents With Russia, accompanied Pres- fdsnt Roosevelt to both the Teheran and Yalta Conference, and probably knows more about the secret agree­ ments made at those Conferences than any other living American, Ac­ cording to the White House-announce­ ment, Hopkins is to discuss with the Soviet Premier the various issues which remain unsettled between ■the V, Be and Russia, Joseph E.

Church board and ste state. - The bill does not change the arrangement that controls the course of study o f the- University but does put power in the -hands^of the -state, appointed' board as to -selection o f a president. - This was necessary to meet the North Central ’require­ ments and also because the state puts up more than $500,000 to- support the state side o f the joint -school. Church leaders opposed the change but the bill passed by a Vote of 19 to8 It now goes to the House for passage. •It is unfortunate the church has put ' its finger in the pie as it has fo r the state should have entire control where it furnishes the funds. No other college or-university under church control in Ohio gets state aid, To keep up the fight the church might have all connections severed in time or the board o f control named outside o f the - church or the colored race, This was threatened once when the late R. D. Williamson w a s. a member o f the lower House and chairman of the fi­ nance committee. The '-House is ex­ pected to pass the bill probably next week.
