BROWN Member o f Congress a an effort to stem a growng tide Congressional and public crtiticism «ver thp slowness which our armed forces are being: demobilized, the War Department arranged fo r General George C Marshall, Chief o f Staff of the Army, to address Members o f the House and Senate last Thursday morn ing. General Marshall devoted con­ siderable time to explaining the diffi- ' culties of rapid demobilization and to assure the legislators discharges would be granted as quickly as pos­ sible under the Army point system. His most important statement was the promise the point quota required for discharge will' be reduced from 80 70 by October 1st, and to 60 points b y . November 1st. He also gave the pledge all soldiers with two or mote years of. service will be discharged by midwinter The demobilization plan outlined by General Marshall i s .far/ broader than the one given to the Military Affairs Committees of the House and Senate by War Depart­ ment spokesmen a few days earlier. The day before General Marshall announced the War Department’s la­ test demobilization plan to the Con­ gress, the House Republican Steering Committee went on record as demand­ ing the prompt discharge from the armed forces of all men with two or more years o f service, and of all fath­ ers, making application therefore. While numerous bills have been in­ troduced , in the Congress, by both Democrats and Republicans, to speed u p . demobilization, and conscription, and proclaim the end of the war e- mergency, thus fa r the Truman Ad­ ministration, which has a heavy ma­ jority in both House and Senate, has been able to block action on any of these measures; .However, Congress­ ional dissatisfaction with Army and Navy demobilization "efforts up to date is credited with bringing about the announcement of the early reduc­ tion o f points .required for discharge from the Army; while the. Navy is ex­ pected, within the near future, to make a further reduction in its point requirments for discharge. and a total of 30,000 by July 1st, next, The Navy expects to release 8,000 tors within the next few months. The nation goes hack on Standard Time Sunday, Setember 30th, as a re­ sult of Congress repealing the War Time Statute. In both World War I and World War II clocks were advan­ ced by congressional enactment, in an effort to save daylight.^ Now for the second time, Congress admits the fu­ tility o f such an effort. Those in gov­ ernment who clamored the loudest for the original time change, in the early days of the war, now seemingly agree no benefit was derived therefrom. On ■the otherliand there is much evidence that “fooling with the clocks” created much confusion and worked great hardship on many citizens, especially the farmers and the school children of the nation. 14 Boys and 2 Girls Get Stem Reprimand $ In Juvenile Court Ohio’s Junior Senator, Harold H. Burton of Cleveland, has been ap­ pointed by President Truman as As­ sociate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States—first Republican, 'lamed to that court in more than fif­ teen years. Senator Burton is expect­ ed to take his seat on the Supreme Court the first of October.. He is con­ sidered an able lawyer and a man of courage and judicial temperament. Fourteen boys and two girls were called before Juvenile court last Sat­ urday morning to explain their part in the destruction of a garden crap as well as a melon patch belonging to Rev. W. P. Chase. At least three times the garden had been visited and the green melons pulled and scattered over the streets and lawns around town. Complaint was made following more damage -last week and .deputies from the Sheriff's office were asked to give protection. They uncovered the list when1 one or more gave the names of all who participated. The boys and girls were given a reprimand and given to und#stand the idea of law and order had tojbe maintained. A collection was taken among those connected with the affair and damage paid for the loss of the crops. In order to partially meet objec­ tions to the draft, national Selective Service Headquarters last week or­ dered the deferment, upon application o f all young men in high school until graduation, or until their twentieth birthday, which ever comes first, and the deferment o f college students until the end of the semester. Under the Constitution Congress and Congress alone, has the duty and responsibility o f fixing the size of our Army and Navy, and raising and main taining our armed forces.. Within the next week or ten days the House will have before it a bill establishing the size, type and character of our peace­ time Navy. "Similar legislation for the Army will probably not be consid­ ered for several months to come, or until after ostwar needs can be better ascertained. However, jt seems likely- the War Department's plan for a two and one-half million postwar Army Will be materially scaled down, and our peacetime armed forces made up o f volunteers. The House last week passed a Recruitment Bill designed to make volunteer service in the Army attractive. One of the severest indictments yet made against the Army’s waste of medical power was made before the Military Affairs Committee o f the Senate last week by a Colonel from the Surgeon General's Office, who had been assigned to the Committee to investigate the use o f medical o f ­ ficers in the Army. He charged there -had been great waste of medical men *gi the armed forces, and that the av­ erage Army doctor was carrying but test percent o f the case-load, or med­ ical work, o f the average civilian doc­ tor, During the war 130,000,000 ci­ vilians have had aproximately 80,000 medical doctors available to care for their needs, The Army has had 47, 000 medical officers to serve slightly more than eight million men, and the Navy 13,000 medics for three and one- half million men. According to the investigator's report, troops in com­ bat often received insufficient medi- ; cal attention, while troops in training or in quiet sectors, had more medical officers than needed, Yet, despite the antiquated system, the Medical Corps o f tho Army and Navy rendered out standing service in saving the lives o f American fighting men, However, now that the war is over, unneeded Rectors should be returned to civilian life, for a critical 'shortage o f doctors exists on the home front, The War Department promises 17,000 doctors will be discharged by December 31st, I C H U R C H N O T E S !

The men are housed at the prison camp near Wilmington, which is under army supervision. Prevail­ ing wage'rates are paid the men who provide their noonday meal Transportation to and from the camp each day must be furnished by the employer A guard is assigned to each ten men while away from camp. TEST TRIPLE STRENGTH SUPERPHOSPHATE— A car containing eighteen and one half tons o f calcium nietaphosphate arrived from the . Tennessee Valley Authority, Sheffield, Alabama, lest week for demonstration purposes on Greene County farms. The material is secured through the T. V. A. and Ohio Agricultural Extension Service to test on various farm crops the value of triple strength superphos­ phate. The fertilizer will be used on legume seedings and to treat perman­ ent pasture. Farmers cooperating in making the tests'are: Arthur Balms, .New Jasper Twp.; DaVid C. Bradfute, Cedarville Twp.; H. W. Eavey Xenia Twp.; Les­ ter McDorman, Ross Twp.; C. R.Mer- edith; Miami Twp.; and V’ m. Wilker- son, Bath Twp. DAIRY TESTERS SCHOOL— , A special short course to train test­ ers for dairy herd Improvement assoc­ iation and for dairy service units will bo given at Ohio State University October 15 to 27. There is a need for testers at the present time, those com­ pleting the short course are guaran­ teed a job. FALL GARDEN JOBS— Garden soils are usually •planted every year to two or three successive crops, a'id the supply of plant food as well as the organic matter in the soil is quickly reduced. Such severe reduc­ tion in-soil fertility will gradually re­ duce yields. The reduction of rgnnic matter supply will cause poorer drain­ age and consequent damage from wet weather. Likewise plant diseases will accumulate if diseased plants are not removed. The following garden.program which include the following jobs will help greatly in making the 1946-garden a good one. . -Remove utid burn all plant residues which may harbor diseases and insects Sow rye as a coyer crop as ,ciops are harvested or between rows o f late crops. Apply a complete fertilizer such as 4-12-4 or similar analysis when the rye,is sowed to. encourage a heavy growth. - The rye should be sowed as early as possible because early sowing results in more root development and a great er increase in the organic matter sup­ ply .When the soil is kept in good condition and diseases are hold'in check by removing plant residues, the stage Is set for a good garden next year. LIVESTOCK PRICES— Prices of lambs and hogs and well finished cattle are expected livestock market interests to remain at or near present levels through the fiVat half of 1946. Larger receipts of lower grade cattle and decreased demand from the army for canned beef are expected to cause prices for the grade to decline more than seasonal average. WILD GARLIC INJURES WHEAT- Wild onioft and wild garlic are dif­ ferent plants but both have the same bad effect when mixed with wheat or when eaten with pasture grasses by cows. Both onion and garlic multiply front-underground bulbs so their con­ trol is difficult once they become es­ tablished, The bulblets are about the same size and weight as a kernel of wheat would be an expensive gift if planted on clean land. 000 bushels o f soybeans in 1945, as EXPECT DECREASE IN SOYBEAN CROP— The latest crop report predicts" the U. S. crop of soy beans will total 188, 284,000 bushels, which would be 2,4 percent less than the 1944 total. •The report also says the crop is late and is in more danger from frost damage than was last year's plantings. Ohio is expected to produce 24,990- 000 bushels of saoybeans in 1945, as compared with a total o f 22,457,000 bushels in 1944 and with a tenyear average of 9,889,000 bushels. Ohio's crop, along-with that in the U» S. must escape serious frost damage to pro­ duce the number o f bushels.estimated. Want’a Trade Auto For A Horse? j COLLEGE N EW S j ‘A Horse, My Kingdom for a Horse.' With tanks at gasoline stations Tun­ ing low and supplies scarce, you may wish you owned a “ horse” instead o f your “ horseless carriage’” The CIO strike has not closed fill­ ing stations here but no one knows how poon they may be. Some cities are ‘rationing" gasoline which is in keeping with the CIO New Deal.. A local dealers says he will not ration but will sell as long as the pump produces and then he will close down. Rationing he says only makes enemies out of friends. Another said: “ Tlie majority voted for the CIO so “ let ’em walk.” The GIO in some places has refused to permit gasoline to be sold even for school buses. The situation is a New Deal' baby.
