BROWN Member o f Congress By his address to a Joint Session of Congress last weekf President Truman brought the issue o f compulsory uni- vesal peace-time military training out into the open. Evidently War Depart­ ment officials and the military clique have sold the President completely bn their plan. Under it every youth, be­ tween the ages o f eighteen and twenty, except those absolutely unfit physical­ ly or mentally, would be required to take one year of Army or Navy train­ ing. It is estimated nine hundred and seventy-five thousand young men would be trained each year—seven hundred thousand in the Army and two hundred and seventy -five ithous- and in the Navy. Training would be conducted in Army camps and Navy establishments under the direction of Army and Navy officers with train­ ees wearing Army and-Navy uniforms, .and subject to military discipline and control in exactly the same manner as draftees being prepared for combat service in World War Two. While every young man physically or mentally fit would be compelled to take this training, or suffer heavy criminal penalties, President Truman insisted such compulsion would not constitute peace-time conscription. The dictionary defines the word “ con­ scription' as “ a military enrollment of men for military service; draft.” The President's address was cooly received by the Congress and it is questionable if his suggested military training pro­ gram, which provides for no exemp­ tions and is much more strict than the Selective Service" Act under which ■men were drafted during World War Two, will be enacted into law within the near future—if ever. ■ign governments have been over* hrown, while revolutions have broken ut in a number o f other countries. In *uch and every instance guns, tanks, planeB and ammunition furnished by the Government o f the United States, and paid for by American taxpayers, have been used in the fighting which has taken place. Most o f this war ma­ terial was originally furnished under LendLease and still bears the United States insignia. The only thing the American government has done about the situation is to request thut our in­ signia be removed from the equipment the use of which has already resulted in the lqss o f thousands of lives. BERT USTICK DROPPEDDEAD IN COLUMBUS The War Department has announced it expects to have every soldier hold­ ing sufficiet points for discharge re­ turned home from the European thea­ ter of war not later than January 1st, and from the Pacific theater, where transportation is a more serious bot­ tleneck, by the middle of April. The point quota required for Army dis­ charges will drop to sixty on Novem­ ber 1st, While the Marine Corps point quota will be reduced to fifty points on the same date A“determined Republican stand in the House against Senate bill 805, which on the surface was drawn to protect military codes, ciphers, cryp­ tographic equipment and other techni­ cal war secrets, compelled the Admin­ istration forces to withdraw the bill - from the floor o f the House last week. Republican leaders charged that under the provisions o f the bill the Admin­ istration could stifle the Pearl Harbor investigation, as well as all future in­ vestigations of other war matters The vbill, as drawn, would have made any veteran who discusses any matter, in connection with which a coded mes­ sage had been sent, subject to a ten year prison sentence, and would, of course, endanger both freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Here are provisions o f the bill the violation o f which could niean a ten thousand dollar fine or ten years in prison for any-person revealing: “ (3) and ma­ terial which has been, or purports to have been, prepared or transmitted in or by the use of any code, cipher or cryptographic system of the United States,’ . Under the provisions all any official* would have to do to prevent anyone from ever discussing any mal­ feasance in office would be ' to send some message regarding the.matter in code—and about' all military and naval messages, including those concerning governments contracts, have been cod­ ed as a usual war-time procedure. The House has passed and sent to the Senate a bill to outlaw the vicious “ fee system" o f remunerating Referes in Bankruptcy, reducing the total number o f such Referees, and placing the remaining ones on a salary basis. In the past many Referees in Bank­ ruptcy are said to have received total fees each year far in excess of the sal­ ary o f the President o f the United States or any other public official.

The Cleveland price on barrows j and gilts was boosted 10 cents a j hundredweight, the Cincinnati price ' went up 5 cents and . the Springfield price was raised 10 cents. Previous ceiligs in these markets were: Cleveland, $14.95; Cincinnati, $14.90 and Springfield, $14.60. The market with A. A. Neff of Alpha as manager was newly designated a ter­ minal market. City Solicitor W. A. Miller has filed an answer to the injunction suit filed by the County Commissioners against the city to check installation of park­ ing meters on the West side o f Green street, The issue has been in question ror several months.. The hearing has been set for Dec. 3 m common pleas court and Chief Jus­ tice Carl V. Weygandt of the Ohio Supreme Court has assigned Judge Al­ ton I*'. Brown, Lebanon, to preside. Judge 1'rank L. Johnson requested an outside judge to hear the case. ■The city had refused the county a number of spaces for parking county cars on the west side of Green st. The answer sets out the claim that the city is losing about $31.50 weekly in revenue by not having meters on that side of the street and asks reim­ bursement. The city admits that in 1933 an oral agreement between the city and coun­ ty permitted the widening of the street J 1-2 feet, the county turning over that amount of its property ana cue city paying for the sidewalk.. 1 he city claims the county approved the pian to improve traffic conditions. No written agreement was ever made. 1he city sets out that traffic con­ ditions nave created a problem ,that •no- legislation proved effective until panting meters were installed. rue city says it offered to provide six tree parking places on the. Green sc. side of the Court House for offi­ cial county cars and two spaces on tim Uctroit st. side'for use of the sher­ iff’s cars. Ihe county had asked for space for eight cars, fhe. city refused and the commissioners then demanded cue right to use me entire west side of Creen st. along the court house for county cars.

Tomlinsons Left Here Fifty Years Ago Albert Payne Suggests Economic Holiday For Strike Situation Edward Payne, farmer, cattle breed­ er and industralist, Springfield and Clifton pike, who has been a candidate for governor in the Republican pri­ mary and is a candidate again, comes forth with a unique proposal fo r the settlement of labor disputes. Mr. Payne proposes that the nation have a cooling o ff session of at least two weeks. He would have all indus­ try irt the nation close down for that period as were the banks during the first term under the New Deal. With labor enjoying a holiday and business management doing the same, both can reflect on the present situation and be in a better mood to discuss wages and hours of employment. He says the nation should .be warned o f the date of the two week holiday so that plenty of provisions can be laid in for the period. , Payne says both capital and labor appeared to have plenty o f mon­ ey, ajid since all had worked hard dur­ ing' the war and pernaps were still feeling the strain, the economic holi­ day might, give practically everybody a well-earned rest . in additionto its psychological advantages.’ Puye says he is a conservative Re­ publican but that, his proposal is not radical. A two week economic holiday would give all business a real rest. ■We have moved Holidays from one week to an­ other, we have moved the clocks fast and slow, \ye have killed little pigs ayui been forced to go without pork, we have challenged nature on abund­ ance of crops and plowed .under food in a hungry world, so why not give the rayne proposal a trial. It couldjie.no more ox a failure than a lot of things isew Dealer Wallace and his crack­ pots have forced on the American peo­ ple. Let’s have a voluntary economic hol­ iday, nut one forced on the nation by radical labor leaders. Meantime the membership will have more time for serious tlioiigti as to the direction the leaders arc taking the membership.
