BROWN * Member of Congress The House has recessed and will /ansaet no legislative business until Congress reconvenes some time after Labor Bay. The Senate, which has the Bretton Wood Agreement under consideration this week, will begin debate early next week on the ratifi­ cation of the United Nations Charter and will join the House in recess some time between the 5th and 15th of Aii- gust. As this is written the Cruiser Au­ gusta, carrying President Truman* is deadlock a t a*1 northern European port and the Potsdam Conference of the Big Three--Churchill>Stalin and Tru­ man—is scheduled tp get under way within the next day- or* two. This will be one of the most important conferences held in modern history, for it will probably fix the outline of future peace terms for Europe, de­ termine whether, and when, Russia will enter the war against Japan, and perhaps decide, the terms upon which Japanese surrender will he accepted, as well as settle many postwar inter­ national economic problems. Inci- dently, it will be the first real test of President Truman and his new Sec­ retary of State James F.. Byrnes, in the field of diplomacy. While Assistant Secretary of State Grew was undoubtedly speaking the truth when he. issued his statement that no official Japanese peace offer had been received by the State De­ partment or the President, there seem But little question a number of un of­ ficial peace feelers have been set a- float from sources within Japan. This is the unusual practice—for it is sel­ dom any official peace proposal is ever made until the last one.1 Wash­ ington rumor has it th a t-a more di- ' rect Japanese peace offer may be placed before the Big Three Confer­ ence a t Potsdam by Premier Stalin, as there is some indication Moscow has already been approached on tfie matter. 1 , them. During the recess we will a t­ tempt to visit each county in the Dis­ trict, on dates and a t places to be announced later, fo r,the transaction of official business. A portion for the recess period will be devoted to com­ mittee work and hearings, in prepar­ ation for the reconvening of Con­ gress. Ohio State Journal Calls Potsdam — Clambake According to the new Secretary of Agriculture, Clinton F. Anderson, food shortages will remain serious for the next year or two, a t least, re­ gardless of when the war with Japan may end. Incidentiy, word comes from Cuba that the worst drought in eighty-six years is endangering that country’s cane crop, which makes the American sugar shortage appear more serious than ever—and it is al­ ready bad enough. The radio gave a description of the preparations for the Postdam Con­ ference. The old palace of the Kaiser had to be renovated for the various delegations, I t is said to have 200 rooms. Uncle Sam is always willing, and moreover '‘soft’’ on giving away the people’s property or money. The radio commented and said the U. S. had 20 electric refrigerators sent from England by plane to aid in keeping the' “milk of human kind­ ness” at the right temperature.'1Then 200 radios'were also sent by air be­ side hundreds of pounds of groceries, fancy steaks, pork chops, lamb chops, and poultry with vegetables of all kinds. There was a large quantity of Kentucky burbon of prewar vintage, which the Russians liked so well at Yalta. It was the fore runner for old vodka, 90 proof. The Ohio State Journal editorializes on the part the U. S .. played in the preparatory plans for the big gather­ ing as follows: “Reading over the details of the Potsdam powwow, one is impressed by the lavish preparations for making it a social and gastromic success. Obviously the diplomatic corps will fare much better than did the original GI’s who made the party possible. There’s a vast difference between ■‘lettuce hearts”, succulent melons and choice meat cuts stored in mobile refrigerators,” and the K-rations of the fighters. “Toasts will be’ flung back and forth over “Scotch, gin, bourbon and vodka, Moselle and other wines. Cog- noc, Curaeo and cmere do menthe,.” This has marked advantages over cold coffee. “There'll be no Purple Hearts won at this affair, but it does appear that anyone with ambitions might manage to accumulate a pink elephant or two. “The‘only notable omission from the list of delicacies to tease the pal­ ates and anoint the gullets of the dig­ nitaries assembled there is the native corn products from President Tru­ man’s Missouri Ozarks But perhaps that would come in the category of military secrets, and is to be uncork­ ed as a surprise weapon when the Soviet delegation again starts guz­ zling Kentucky, bourbon and referring to. it slightly as "light wine” FOOD SUBSIDY MUST STOP SOME TIME President Harry Truman' made an important announcement just before leaving for Europe. He served notice that food subsidies could not go 'on year after year and we should now prepare to eliminate them The objective is to ease' adjustment of farm prices to post-war conditions and to reducing government expendi­ tures, leading to lower income taxes, This would bp good campaign mater­ ial for a congi«ssional election. Secretary of Agriculture is taking a hand in the movement supposedly to pave the way for eliminating the OPA before another election. The plan under consideration now is to let prices.jof all foods now .under subsi­ dies go up to compensate the produc­ ers of foods that get subsidies. To appease labor the “Little Steel” for­ mula could be adjusted upwards with­ out creating inflation. Higher prices for. everyone an election year can­ not bring on inflation. Anyother year it would be inflationary. Food items on which the Govern­ ment is paying subsidies include but­ ter, meats, fluid milk and most man­ ufactured dairy products, flour and indirectly, bread and bakery products- canned fruits and vegetables, sugar, dry beans, peanut butter, lard and soybean products. The same plan was proposed two years ago but turned down by Sec. Wickard because it was inflationary, and more probable because it was proposed by the Republicans in Con­ gress.

A In testifying before a joint Con­ gressional committee, a national of­ ficer of the Grange has pointed out that 77 new Federal agencies were created prior to 1900; 93 additional new agencies set up between 1900 and ■1930; and, under the New Deal, 230 new government bureaus or agencies have come into Cxistance in the last fifteen years. The Grange official ar­ gued (and your humble servant a grees with him) that “Congress must reassert it’s constitutional authority,” reorganise the government, and elim­ inate many Federal bureaus, agencies and activities, if representative gov­ ernment 1 b to' survive, The controversy, whjch has raged . within, and between, the House and Senate over the continuation of the Fair employment Practice Committee and appropriations therefor and which held up adjournment of the House for ten days, has a t least been settled through a compromise which will per­ mit that government agency to con­ tinue Until June 30th, 1946 under ap­ propriations that have been reduced by approximately fifty percent from last year. The present FEPC, which was originally created in 1941 thru an Executive order by the late Presi­ dent Roosevelt, has limited authority over employer- employee relations Only in plahts having -government , contract*.

County View On Automobile Parking Prosecuting Attorney Marcus Shoup met with the Xenia City Commission recently to confer about reservations for eight cars used by the county, officials fer county work. The City expects to install meters a t all park­ ing places in the center of the city, At a former meeting the City au­ thorities stood for only two cars. This was not accepted by the county. The county a few years ago gave the city a four-and one half foot strip to widen Green sti, on the East side of the courthouse for convenience, as there was to be no deed. One mem­ ber of the County Commissioners, a t that time protested the action on the ground the county could not leg­ ally give the grant. If the City docs not grant the eight spaces the county commissioners will reclaim the 4 1-2 foot sidewalk, and cement to it and have a county park­ ing site for county cars on the east side of the court house, No action has as yet been taken by the City Commission on the proposal asked for by Mr. Shoup'in behalf of the county. The second summer session is un­ der way ‘with classes in geology, methods, writing, American literature hygiene, German, sociology, princi­ ples of education, and others.

Wright, of the Cedarville Lumber I e^ , .m connect,on Wlth the operation Judge Golden Davis, Clark County Common Pleas Judge, has announced the appointment of Assistant Prose­ cuting Attorney, Robert S. Oliijger, to fill the vacancy caused by tbs re­ moval p i Jerome A. Nevius, who was found guilty on three counts of brib- Co., when the later purchased abqut 10 acres of land ,about half being-in the corporate limits of the village, the rest adjoining in the township. The tract lies eaBt of the Columbus pike northeast of town and will pro­ vide a number of excellent building lots. Mrs. Wright expects to start the improvement for one or more dwellings this fall, if material is to become available. She will have the plot landscaped. An old barn-stands jon the part in the^township and will be dismanteled. The plot includes the “Orr pond”'and both -banks of the north fork of Mas- sies creek. Mrs. Wright states it is her desire to erect modern homes that will provide <» “back-yard” with possibilities of beautiful landscaping., It will be possible, due to the terrain to have a garage under each house with side entrance from the street. She expectfrthe village to supply sewerage and nfunicipal water to the property as all water assessments have been paid. When the improvement is complet­ ed it will add much to the appearance of the village approaching from the north and east and also add much to the tax duplicate. In addition it will relieve part of the housing stortage. Herman Randall Buys Neal Hunter Farm MORE HESSIAN FLY— A survey of Greene County wheat fields show that an average of 12,8 percent of wheat straws was infested with Hessian Fly, The percentage infestation varied from four to 18 percent. This is a very great increase over last year when less than one percent, of the straws showed fly damage. While there was* very little wheat sown before the fly-free date last fall, the volunteer plants from grain scat­ tered by combines furnished food for the fly before the sowed crop was up Very- little yield reduction occured because of the fly, however it meanB that another favorable year can take a serious toll from the 1946 wheat crop. The fly-free date for Greene County is October 2. Herman Randall has purchased the Neal Hunter farm, formerly the (Thomas Fields) farm, qf about .86 acres. The tenant is Geo. Bradds. The new owner gets posession the first of March next year. Mr.Randall has been connected with Frank Cres- well in the c'oal and feed business. JULY POULTRY PRICES— 1 Poultry prices for producers or far­ mers direct to consumers for the month of July have been announced as follows: Live weight prices for broilers, fryers and roasters, 37c per pound and. for hens 31 cent, Table dressed prices for broilers and fryers are 61 cents, roasters 58 cents and hens 51 cents. 22 PERCENT LESS HOGS KILLED Total hog slaughter is not expected to exceed 75.5 million head this year, This would be 22 percent smaller than Ipst years record slaughter of 96,8 million head, As market weights are expected to fun higher'than aver­ age, and as slaughters are expected to continue their recent practice of selling a larger than normal portion of the fat cuts as pork Instead of rendering out the lard, ,tjie percentage decrease in pork production may not be as great as the percentage decrease in number of hogs slaughtered. As an incentive to increase fall far- rowings the War Food Administra­ tion recently announced the floor price of $13.00 per cwt. would apply to all good and choice hogs regardless of weight until September 1, 1946, . — -j— — ------------- ------------:.

Olinger is a Republican and Judge Davis; a Democrat, refused to be influenced by the action of the Dem­ ocratic Executive Committee last Saturday night when a long' list of so-called Democratic attorneys was published so the Judge could make, a selection. The Judge had made a. Democratic selection when he draft­ ed Stewart L. Tatum, Democrat to assist Attorney Homer Corry, Rep., in the prosecution of .Nevius. This never suited1 the Sheehan-CIO crowd that control the' Clark County Dem­ ocratic organization that backed Ne­ vius The gamblers that operated the den and are alleged to have paid Nevius for protection from prosecution, have entered pleas of guilty, and are serv­ ing t.ime in the Clark county jail in addition to paying jointly $12,500 in fines. Other indictments are await, ing their release.from the county-jail. Twq other officials also face trial on similar indictments. According to the opinion of most observers the Democratic" party in Clark county is a dead letter as long as it is in the hands of the Sheehan- CIO crowd. Nevius .was the only’ Democrat tm the county ticket elect­ ed last November.' He had support of the liquor and gambling interests along with the CIO Political Activity Committee. Grangers Demand More Sugar—Now! Joseph W. Ficther, master of the Ohio State Grange, appealed to the Office of Price Administration for an immediate increase in home canning sugar allotments.

HUftYIMO? 6ITUTS-K0; MAMSI.-YEJ The officials of the Greene Caqnty F«jr Board are in a quandry. The dictatorial edict out of Wash­ ington the part few days permits county fairs only wherein the exhib­ its come wholely within the county. A county fair is an annual affair and never before in the history-of the county organization has it had to stoop beneath its dignity and ask a Hitlerite in Washington whether the farmers of old Greene can hold: the annual celebration. It is just one more nail in the pop­ ular decision tha t the New Deal Com­ munists -take this means of rapping the American farmer, who has not al­ ways given in to the same theory we send men to fight* around th e , world. Ask the man in the street as to whether the county fair should gp on and he answers in „the affirmative. Ask the leader of the 4-H clubs and you would get the same answer;.. Ask the lawyer, the.hanke.ri tbe hod carrier and all chorus “let the fair go on.’ Then we have the boys and girls that have months in careful feed­ ing of live stock as part .of their-edu­ cational training and all say, “Sure, let the fair go on.” The excuse fo r the Hitler order is­ sued by a New Deal Democrat who would over-lord over all, and .he-will tell you- we must have the passenger and freight trains and trucks for the soiiders. How many horses or cows did you ever hear of being shipped by train for the Greene County Fair? Not one. The bureaucrat that sayft we and . other counties cannot have the old fashioned fair is the-fellow-that nods approval for professional ball clubs to travel from city to city in car* that might be hauling our boys to our west _ Coast. ■■■■:~ ■■ The same Washington, outfit nodi approval to Ringling Bros., owned by large New York banking institutions,, ■ and each day the railroads haul two long/trains pf circus equipment, sev­ eral hundred wild and tame animals and some 509 people from city to city, yet the ODT says the fairs must fold up to provide shipping accomodations to the west coast. What a joke! The ODT says no trucks must be * used for we must save gasoline and tires for the war effort. Probably tires for the boats. Yet Mr. ODT issues .orders that permit beer trucks to operate.daily using .rubber and gasoline. What a joke! . 1• . The ^excuse offered ,for hamstring-. ing the fairs are about on par with holding down on milk deliveries, no gasoline for trucks to gather eggs to feed the public, yet tires and gasoline for -the,breweries and distilleries that truck their product a ll over the nation with ODT approval. From the farm standpoint the out­ fit a t ODT is about on. par with the Agricultural Department under Hen­ ry Wallace when the expert protested the New Deal was not saving enough steers for milk cows, The next silli­ est order was jthe one rationing baby Bhoes to save material for army shoes as if anyone ever saw a pair of baby shoes made of the same kind of leath­ er used for army shoes. Wednesday out of 22 counties that had been canvassed, Greene was the only one that had not definitely de­ cided what to do. Fayette county is the first next week and the show will open on-time. Carthage will ignore the order. Most'all the counties in central Ohio will plan to go on with their fairs, R. C. FREDERICK TO HEAD LABOR DAY EVENT R. 0.
