FRIDAY, .JUNE 22,1945 SUPREME COURT BIT NEW DEAL AP PAPERS , It must be rather bitter to have been a New Deal propa gandist publisher for twelve years and then have it bite the hand that helped hold it up before the public and approve even the "stacking of the Supreme Court.” This is just what has happened to all*Democratic papers that use the Associate! Press news service, the organization being a mutual or co-op erative group of several hundred newspapers in the country, The Roosevelt hand-picked stacked United States Supreme Court on Monday handed down one of the famous five to three decisions against the Associated Press, holding the group asan organization wa's violating the Sherman anti-trust law. The organization being mutual held that it had a right to say who would be welcomed as a member., It also held that all of the news of the various members was available to all members anc each paid his share of the cost of gathering the news. - * The suit was brought by Frances Biddle, attorney general at the request of Franklin D. Roosevelt, because a Chicago New York and London multi-millionaire had been denied membership in the AP, Just how far Roosevelt went in the case with the members of the high court for one of his “must decisions, will probably never be known, or whether there was any agreement between him and Marshall Field as to how far the case was carried. It must be admitted the Chicagoian wen ■ the limit with his paper for the New Deal on every issue that ever arose from privy building to entering the war. The Springfield Sun, owned by former Gov. James M. Cox ■editorially takes a stand against the Supreme Court decision which we endorse. But the hand that bites, the Sun and other associate members o f the AP is the same hand that has been held up as a symbol for all others to follow. Newsmen in the know are somewhat at sea as to the effect of the Supreme Court decision, now that FDR no longer issues orders. What will Mr. Truman do if the newspapers refuse to admit Mr. Field into their organization? As to how it will af­ fect Other mutual groups one has been cited, by a prominent at­ torney—the farm co-operative group, WILL CONGRESS INVESTIGATE OR NOT? A considerable part of the American public is waiting, with fast dimishing patience, to see whether or not Congress will investigate that matter of a $200,000 loan by John Hart­ ford, president of the A. A P. grocery chain, to Elliott Roose velt, the late President’s son. The story was first brought to light by Westbrook Pegler. The columnist reported that the loan was made in 1939, on un bankable security, with the consent and even the urging of President Roosevelt, and that the loan was ‘settled’ in 1941 by the payment of $4,000 through the intervention of Jesse Jones when Mr. Hartford’s firm was under charges by the Justice De partment. Thus far, Jesse Jones has had nothing to say. Brig; Gen Roosevelt has had nothing to say. Efforts in Congress to order an investigation have been blocked by New Deal and Demo cratic members, who have either branded the story, as an attack on “ the memory of a grbat man” or have sought to confuse the issue by debating whether or not Hartford made an income tax deduction for the bad debt. We can understand the eagerness of New Dealers to hush the affair, for the memory of Franklin D. Roosevelt is their greatest political asset. But if Democratic members of Congress go along with that policy we think they will be doing the party ,a grave disservice. * v Any man who really cared about the memory of Franklin Roosevelt would want to clear his name in this unsavory mess as quickly as possible. Further unexplained delay in the affair will be nothing less than contempt for American public opin ion, to which every member of Congress and every President is responsible. — Cincinnati Times-Star In our.opinion the Times-Star has not gone far enough in this case by not urging Congress to investigate the loan bu ; whether it had any connection with the government suit against the A. & P. company. There is another reason why Congress should investigate the tax deduction feature and that is because the late President issued an executive order denying anyone the right to inspect or investigate the income tax returns of any member of the Roosevelt family. Then there is the bond insur­ ance business in which the family was interested and how much the earnings were on bonds written on government contracts i: any. THERE CAN BE NO SUBSTITUTE FOR BUTTER The Cincinnati Post thinks the dairy interests have no right to defend their industry by opposing the sale o f colored oleo margarine— exhorbitant, punitive taxes and unreasonable fed eral and state restrictions—(which have been used for many years. The Post, like a lot of other people, would defend any substitute for the real thingf—butter which has a food value no substitute what ever.. It could not be made if it were n o ; for the milk furnished on farms by the dairy industry. But the milk is not used for the food value, it is the only thing the oleo people know of that will compound the various mixtures of reduction and vegetable oils to give the product even a resem blance o f butter, and that is not possible without vegetable col oring. The laws now governing manufacture of oleo are for the same purpose the government requires on all liquor. It is a violation of the internal revenue laws to bottle whiskey as straight if it is a blend; it is unlawful to bottle it as bonded if it is not. We are surprised that Mr. Postman in his editorial ex. presses himself as somewhat angered at the dairy industry in opposing colored oleo and if it is not stopped he will show his revenge by as he says, “ eating margarine regularly.” Several years ago while we were following legislative pro­ cedure for our Ohio Newspaper Association we happened to sit in with the late R. p . Williamson, who Was interested in the T dairy industry and a member of the House. We recall a man­ ufacturer of oleo when questioned by a state authority admit­ ted his company purchased sour cream unfit for butter, reduc­ tion oils made from city garbage, and churned the mixture in sweet milk and called the .output “ cheap grade oleo margar­ ine.” We recall the state had an exhibit of two white rats used for experimental, purposes. *They were in separate compart­ ments and had been in the boxes the same.number of days. The weight of each was marked at the time of confinement. The weight of each was marked as of that day. One was fat and carried a slick coat o f fur for it had been feed nothing but but. ter for thirty days. The other was couched in his corner as if tired fciid worn out. His eyes were droopy. His fur dull and on end. It had been fed thirty days on oleo. Each o f us have our tastes and dislikes and one cannot force his menu down the throat o f another. The dairy industry has as much right to protect its industry and the public as the oleo ' people have a right to manufacture their product. Each should stand on its own merits. The fault o f the oleo manufacturer is that he wants to advertise his product as1a aubstitue for butter which it cannot be, The laws prohibit eating establishments from serving oleo or the society name o f “margarine” without a public notice. Other eating establishments post notice they serve nothing but butter. For the benefit o f the Post editor we find an interesting news item that Cocoa Cola, during the sugar shortage states it Will reduce the output to meet what sugar is available but under no circumstance will the company use a substitute fo r sugar. Not all persons care fo r substitutes be­ cause a substitute is just what it is termed—that which takes the place o f something else regardless o f quality. The butter industry and the Cocoa Cola interests see from the same view­ point. And vet one would not deny a man a substitute if he .wanted nothing better. Our old friend Cal Lyon o f the Col­ umbus Citizen is having his troubles these New Deal days o f scarcity of food. In a recent issue o f tbe Citizen, Cal lets loose his opinion on the food shortage, much to our surprise. We follow his column and we have known of his newspaper career, low these many years, We knew him when he was head o f the Shelbyvihe, Ind., Re­ publican and later the Indianapolis Star. From there he moved with George McClellan, former Cedarvill- ian, to Dayton when George took over the Dayton Journal. In those days Cal was in the group that always fol­ lowed the elephant. Going to Col­ umbus Cal became enamored with the donkey crowd and. has since been on the Citizen in. various capacities. He was on Charley Sawyer's staff and of course that put the one time Repub­ lican in a lineup politically that made him a standard bearer for the New Deal. At present Cal shows signs of weakening in that faith and his col­ umn recently made public his com­ plaint. Cal says he is a lover o f beef stew and that he still has the best cook that fever presided in his kitchen, but does not think much o f the New Deal jtew that does not give .him any beef. One does not have to read between .he lines to learn that .Cal means just what he says for he is perplexed as to why he and 130 million other A- mericans must go hungry while we try to feed the rest o f the world at our expense and also, much discom­ fort. As we scan the Citizen, col­ umns the majority o f those who write on the present food situation agree with Cal’s views’’.. The sentiment on this same subject probably is no dif­ ferent in Greene county than in the city of Columbus. What surprises us is that Cal would lay aside bis ortho­ dox views on New Dealism to satisfy his appetite or the craving o f the stomach just fo r a little beef in his stew. We have always been under the impression that one had to be in or under a stew to swallow the New Deal. We fear our old comrade-in-arms will yet get a chance to go back to Indiana and try to live life over as a farm boy. We have always remarked in discussing this situation that “ the farmer eats first.7’ —even beef stews, pork chops and porterhouse Bteaks, Unless Cal gets back to the country soon he.is in for more experience not yet at his door and we partially sym­ pathize that he is in so helpless a po­ sition at this time. The Worst is-yet to come, and even a good cook will not be able to keep up the table standard by the use o f substitutes. Cal should recall in his column that it was FDR and Henry Wallace that started the nation down hill on the food program, war or no war. Killing o f millions of little pigs that would have become large some time and many would in­ crease the hog population under the evolution nature provides if not hin­ dered by man. Then came the slaugh­ tering o f hundreds o f thousands of cows, some mothers and others would have become if the laws o f nature, and law o f supply and demand, hadt not been shelved by the nation’s ap­ ostles o f waste and destruction. The OPA has been a great educa- tional treat to the American people, < It has taught them how to lay aside | religious scruppks and do a little be­ ing, cheating, or 'lackmarketing. It is surprising to hear So many people express, themselves as having no oth­ er thought .o f buying meat or sugar j in any market, white or black. It is nothing to see fashionable Dayton cars drive up to a farmer’s home and beg the lady of the house to sell one or half a dozen chickens. Price is no more o f a consideration to the buy­ er than is the OPA price ceiling as an order to be observed. Probably before nightfall here comes an old Ford o f ancient vintage with two or three or more factory workers out to purchase a chicken, one or a dozen or even a hog if it waB dressed. Here again th story is the same. Ten dollar bills in the pocket but no meat o f any kind 'n the stomach. As to the age o f the ihicken most people do not even ask .he age ,they are so hungry for meat they do not care. Here is how one housewife solves the problem and no .doubt eases her conscience so far .as violating a New Deal dictatorial or­ der such as Hitler did in his palmy iLy of dictatorship. This good lady , ..marked to the writer the OPA has never kept its promises. It cancelled blue and red points without notice and penalized those who had been trying to observe the " rules by not buying at one time more than was needed. Next she-points out that the OPA informed the public 20 pounds of sugar could be had for canning, There being no fruit at that time to can she says she concluded to wait until the fruit was ready. Then the 20 pounds melted to 15. There being no fruit she Waited again. Now the su­ gar allotment is fivo pounds here and nine pounds in London, twentytwo miles away. The cherries are ripe and only five pounds of sugar. This good housewife who was honest with a branch of her government now is convinced the OPA either did not know what it was doing, was incom- pejantor just lied to the people know­ ing all the .time there was a sugar shortage. I will lay in all the store canned fruit I can purchase as fast as the stamps come due.- Never before has this-lady ever used half o f her blue1stamps. From now oh she does not take the OPA order for anything. Monday she sold 50 three-pound frys for three dollars each and they went to Dayton. Wise boys down in Wash­ ington. The Socialist party leaders could elect their ticket -in Greene I county this year with sentiment what I it is. But there would be no sugar shortage if this w a s'a presidential election year* prices and regulations told w» an in­ erting story last week o f a brother in Dayton, who has a $3,200 a year job, writing to him for some meat, that there had been no meat on the family table for severs) weeks, The Greene countian says he recalled a statement his brother made in the former’s home a few years ago as to how cheap living was in the city, Me men­ tioned that he could get three pounds o f sausage at that time for 25c. The farm brother admitted that was pos­ sible for he was selling hogs for $2.90 a hundred. Our friend says he wrote back to the brother he had no meat for anybody that was making $3,200 a year, which yras more than he could make under price control. Last year eight car loads o f Florida potatoes, owned by the New Deal government laid so long on sidetrack in the Dayton railroad yards they spoiled and had to be unloaded on the city dump. This same, thing happen­ ed all over the country. Then Cal, you will recall that FDR and Wallace concluded to pay farmers not to pro­ duce crops was the cheapest way to purchase votes to perpetuate themsel­ ves in office, along with PWA, WPA, and a lot o f other alphabetical waste­ ful spending, none o f which produced or aided in production of the necessi­ ties of life—even at home. Bringing our little story down to date Cal will recall the New Deal paid sugar beet farmers not to grow these crops. He also discovered that within the past year the New Deal, in the face o f a sugar shortage, had thousands o f tons of sugar shipped to foreign countries, some of which had little or nothing to sweeten. This was part o f ttie bar­ gaining going on to line up countries o send delegates as proxies to San Francisco, not for world peace but for setting up a World dynasty, providing Joe Stalin did not get the jump on the American who cooked up the mess for himself. Just to keep the sugar question to the fore, We would like to know Cal, -how does it come yoiir city o f Columbus gets nine pounds o f sugar for canhing whan we In this county on)y get five pounds to can fruit grown in the county. With cherries rotting oh the trees not What cherries rotting on the trees rtow, what cah w© expect fo r the bumper peach crop in sight for summer and fall? The traffic in red arid blue stamps would keep a hundred inspectors busy in any one county and then never catch up with -the traders. Just this week w© learn o f a city woman driv­ ing up to one o f our prominent homes not far from! town and asking if. she-could purchase a chicken. After reciting her stoiry of how hard it was to get meat in ,her city she just beg­ ged for a chicken. Price was no ob­ ject. Not being able to induce the farm Wife to sell some o f her chick­ ens the city buyer went so far as to offer a number of blue stamps from book four in addition to paying for the chicken. The lady left and stop­ ped at another farm home. She paid seven dollars for two White. Rocks that weighed 3 1-2 pounds each and turned over 50 blue points. The farm wife asked no question ns to name but but did give us the license number on the automobile. You have not heard* anything yet. A farmer in Beavercreek Twp. tells an unusual experience his wife had last week, A Dayton lady that pur­ chased butter from this family for a number o f years wanted some cher­ ries, The farm wife was not anxious to sell and was waiting on her sugar allotment. The Daytonian even went so far as to trade sugar for the cher­ ries. Twenty pounds o f sugar for 16 quarts of cherries. The city lady had received her family allotment on the basis of 20 pounds each. A f­ ter all the sugar has gone to the city where there is little fruit even on the market stands while cherries will rot in the rural sections .because o f the 6 pound allotment. Its the New Deal way. The curse is that the shortage cannot be unloaded on those who vot­ ed the New Deal. , A New Jasper Democratic farmer who evidently is fed qp on OPA farm All we Can offer Cal is an inv ite-1 -ion to come and visit us. We -will provide the old fashioned beef stew, pork chops, short-porterhouse t>r a tenderloin steak to be topped' with fresh cherry pie, — al a mode with homemade ice creajm-tbut bring your sugar with you.
