BROWN Member o f Congress , .'be House last week passed the ..Whittington Bill which will require all Government corporations, for the first time, to be audited regularly by the Comptroller General, and to be liquidated by July 1st, 1948, unless authorized by Congress to continue operation. The bill also prohibits the creation o f new Government corpora tions unless specifically authorized by Congress. At present there are 101 such corporations, with $29,000,000000. o f capital and $9,200,000,000.00 bor­ rowed from the Reconstruction Fi­ nance Corporation. The taxpayers will take a heavy loss on many of the Government corporations originally created by 'Executive Order of the President. Now the Congress pro hibits such Presidential action iii the future. ‘ Complaints are pouring into Con­ gressional offices over the slowness with which our armed forces are be ing demobolized. Thus far the Tru man Administration, which has a heavy majority in both the Rouse and Senate, has ' been able to block any Congressional action for speeding, up demobilization;, fixing a date for the .termination o f the drafts or taking other action to place our military and naval establishments on a peace-time basis as quickly as .possible. Charges are being hiade in Congress that the armed forces—-and especially the War Department—are. stalling on carry­ ing out their announced demobiliza­ tion programs and plans. There are many indications the Administration may not be able to' long prevent en­ actment of legislation to make more rapid demobilization mandatory. The Army has recently reduced its points required, for discharge from 85 to 80, for enlisted men. The Marine Corps, which operates on the same point arrangement as the Army, has reduced its point quota requirement to 70; the Navy, which figures points on a different basis, • still requires 44 points for the release of enlisted men and 49 points for officers, but has provided for a one-fourth point per month credit for foreign duty. The Army also 'provides automatic dis­ charge upon application for men over 38; the Marine Corps, for automatic discharge o f men over 35; ami the Navy for men over 42. However, many complaints are being received that high point score men, as well as over-age men, are being held in the services. - These charges seem 'to be substantiated. by the fact that from VE-Day, early last May until Septem ber 1st* the over-all size of the Unit­ ed States Army has been reduced by only 53,000 men. All branches of the armed forces promise they will re duce their point requirements and age limits for discharge at frequent in­ tervals from now on, and that total discharges will average more than 600,000* per month by December or January, Literally thousands of letters are efcig received by Members of Con­ fess from men in the service, or the irifes or parents, asking help in gat­ ing early discharges. .Hovever, there i ljttle any Member of Congress an do to help except to vote (when iven the opportunity) for legislation o speed demobilization and the return 0 the voluntary, enlistment system of btaining men needed for occupation nd other peace-time military duties, 1 furnish information to those who rrite us, Congressional interest leans nothing in discharge matters— t least as far as we can elarn, In National War Fund Band Fest, October 5 cent after 20 years o f service, percent after 30 years or 75 Jurors Drawn For For October Court Term Tie- War Department wants an ny of 2,500,000 enlisted men, plus igera* beginning with July 1st next s Would mean a peacetime Army iroximately one-third as large as m we were fighting a two-war it.

SEED BROMGRASS THIS FALL— Bromgrass is an excellent grass to mix with alfalfa for pasture or hay and pasture combined, Ex’cept for pro­ duction pf Seed it should always be sown with- alfalfa or Ladino clover. Mixing the bromegrass seed with fer­ tilizer and sowing through the fertil­ izer attachment is a good way o f dis­ tributing the seed, Use at least 150 pounds per acre of fertilizer and sow sallow, not over one inch deep. It may also be mixed with oats to carry the seed through the grain feed. Use about five pounds of oats to one pound of bromegrass. Eight pounds per acre of broihegrass is recommend­ ed, The alfalfa and clover seedings may be made next March.
