BROWN Member o f Congress' ■\ the United States has a new dent before January 20th, 1949, *• j j probability he will - either be '* representative Sam Rayburn o f Tex­ as or a Republican Member of the House, Under the present law the Secretary o f State, Mr, Stettinius, would succeed to the Presidency In case o f a vacancy, inasmuch as there is now Vice President. Apprec­ iating the uncertainty o f life„and ex­ pressing the belief than an elective official, rather than an appointed one, should succeed to the Presidency, Mr. Truman sent a message to Congress, just before he took o f f for a non-stop flight to the Pacific Coast last week, requesting that the Congress change the law so the Speaker of the House shall become President in case of-a vacancy in both the Presidency and Vice-Presidency develops. At* the present time Representative Rayburn is Speaker o f the. House. However, should the House go Republican in the^ 1946 elections, then a Republican Speaker would be elected, and would become President in case of the death , o f President Truman. Legislation to carry out the President’s suggestion has already been introduced and is expected to pass the Congress quick­ ly. * President Truman left Washington early last week by plane for Olympia,. Washington, where he spent several days visiting with his old friend and former colleague in the Senate, Gov. Mon C. Wallgren. He is scheduled to -address the closing session of the San Francisco Conference Tuesday of this week and immediately, fly back to Washington with the Charter of the new world organization, which has been agreed to by the delegates from fifty nations participating in the the Conference. Upon his arrival here the President will- promptly present the Charter to the Senate with ,a re­ quest fo r quick ratification. Delegates o f the other nations signatory, to the Charter are returning to their native ' lands at once, where they will at­ tempt to get. early approval o f the Charter so the new world organiza­ tion to maintain peace.may begin to function as quickly as possible. The Senate last week reinstated Into the bill extending the Reciprocal .Trade Agreements act for three years the section previously stricken out by by a Senate Committee which author­ izes the President to reduce present: tariff rates by an additional fifty per cent any time his discretion may dic­ tate. The bill, which has been passed by both the House and Senate, now goes to the President for his signa­ ture, The United States has thus taken one more step toward Free Trade, Proponents o f the measure claim it will go fa r toward guarantee-’ ing future American prosperity thru increasing exports. Opponents insist, however, the legislation will bring a- bout such an influx o f imports from low, cost countries as to destroy many American industries and to bring a- bout widespread unemployment in the ’ country in the postwar years ahead. Housewives Protest Cut In Sugar Rations By O PA In Canning Season; Against Liquor „ Two hundred or more men and women gathered in the First Methodist Church, Xenia, Tuesday, to. register their dis­ gust and disapproval' of the manner in which sugar has been rationed right in the midst of the canning season. The New Deal was criticised for its part in creating the sugar shortage and at the same time setting aside sugar for the manufacture of liquor during the month of July. . The gathering went- on record and asked for passage of the Bryson bill banning the manufacture of all alcoholic bever­ ages for thq duration and the period of/demolization. The petitions will be'forwarded to : - President Truman and J.C. Krug.War Production Board chairman. They are to be exhibited Sunday at the differ­ ent churches in the county for ad­ ditional signatures. The OPA was taken to task for its usual attitude in misreresenting the .rationing’ of all foods along with su- gar. It had announced ther cut would only be 24 percent curtailment for ci­ vilian use this year. The facts are the, allowance is ’ only two-fifths of what itwas last’year* The brewers .consumed 205 million pounds-of sugar last year and have i COLLEGE NEWS President Ira D.

The New Deal refusal to permit farmers to raise-sugar cane or beets; the giving o f sugar to many foreign countries while we had a real shortage at home and the OPA bung­ ling along with sugar that went to distilleries for manufacture o f spirits to blend with whiskey to stretch the liquor in bond. That sugar, is used by distillers and brewers is admitted. Moreover most of the distillers own one or more wine plants and much sugar is necessary for that purpose. There is no substi­ tute for sugar in wine making in the home or by commercial interests. That sugar aided in increasing the. output for* liquor Ohio,.just this-week placed on sale several brands of liqqor with cane sugar spirits for blend. The brands are not even rationed. Gin has been taken from the ration list. The onljy whiskey rationed is that o f grain spirits for a blend. A representative o f one of the larg­ est distilleries in the country gave us the inside as to how the limited supply o f liquor was being stretched to meet the unusual demand. He was a visitor to' interest us. in an adver­ tising proposition for his .company. No sugar for home canning. No su­ gar for jams or jellies for the school lunches this fall and winter. Cherries rot on the trees while New Dealers .make more promises as to how much sugar you are going to get ( ? ) but promise no definite time. When we could get sugar in Cuba the New Deal refused to pay the. price and England took most o f it, The rest was largely converted into rum and brandies,' The 1046 sugar crop in C^ubor will be short due to the fact the New Dealers would not let local refineries contract a year ahead, Prosecutor Marcus Shoup Lands Slot Machines In R a id Staged Monday; Four Face Charges Prosecuting Attorney Marcus Shoup with special investi­ gators made a raid Monday and landed four of the “ one arm” bandits. Two places on the Columbus pike west o f town were caught with the illegal devices. The machines were confiscate ed and locked up in the grand jury .room.

Agricultural Agent BUMPER WHEAT HARVEST— IS UNDER WAY— The harvesting o f Greene County’s wheat crop o f approximately 40,000 acres will get under way this week. A bumper, crop is in prospect since a iqrger acerage than normal was seed­ ed last fa ll and indications point to a good acre yield. Climatic conditions during recent weeks has been favorable for growth o f plant diseases and leaf rust is widespread in wheat fields. In some fields it will reduce the-yield. Stem rust has not.developed to any extent, however leaf spot is plentiful and has killed the lower leaves in many wheat fields. • ■ ■ * WHEAT STORAGE PROBLEM— Indications are that wheat storage may be a problem this year Practi­ cally all terminal storage is crammed with grain and in addition, shortage o f box cars may limit movement of the new grain crop. Farmers are urg­ ed to make provision for emergency storage places for their grain, .7 the two essential factors‘for safe storage being a. floor strong enough to hold the weight and a roof which will pre­ vent weather damage. This possibility o f having to store wheat on farms will increase interest in government loans on wheat. The loan rate will be about $1.50 with an allowance made to pay fo r farm stor­ age at the time the loan is,paid, l A five cent flat-top machine was lo­ cated in Fairfield at the Smokery, It was alleged “ Spick” Hoagland was in charge. Two five-cent machines wens con­ fiscated at. the Spencer Grocery, in Wright View Heights, operated by Noah Spencer. Affidavits will be filed against the four operators named above by -Mr. Shoup. They will be charged with exhibiting gambling devices. I f .they plead not guilty they can be bound over to the grand jury. Night Sessions In Clark Co. Bribery Trial o f Pros.
