I SIXTY-NINTHYEAR No: 8 tofeto flfltfESSlflM. happenings in WASHINGTON By CLARENCE J. BROWN Member of Congress The second session of the 79th Con­ gress convened Monday with most re* turning members of the House and Senate determined to do something to* being, an end to .strikes and Labor- Management disputes, and to speed up demobilisation of our war-time armed' forces. All other legislative .proposals are taking second place to these two important problems. President Truman, who has been insisting Congress :pass his proposed labor legislation exactly as he sub­ mitted :it,"without change ,,is due for another disappointment. The nation­ al law-makers will probably approve tha t portion of the President’s bill •which calls for a “cooling o f f ’ period ^before strikes become effective, but' will' refuse to authorize government ' fact-finding boards to base wages on ' p a st or expected profits of employers. Increased and bettered—government conciliation and mediation services in vlabor disputes will undoubtedly jbe provided. Both Labor and Manage­ ment will probably be made respon­ sible for breach of'employment con- . tracts, illegal strikes o r lock - outs. •However, Congress is not expected to confer upon any bureaucratic agency of the government power to arbitrar- • ily fix wages, for the grant of such.a power would mean the eventual end o f both free enterprise and collective bargaining. CEDARVILLE, OHIO, FRIDAY, JANUARY 18,1946 . ........T;............................ ^ i ‘if i t r ’ *’ ■**••*£"' ... «.,u.Ti <■ s» .i*—- n - r - ■ ■ r - in Progressive ClubTo Aid Community Project i m ■ m <umi • 'V - The Progressive Club Mppdey night heard reports on the progress o f the committee having in charge the fin­ ancing of the purchase o f'* plot of ground a t the East end of Xenia Ave», from the Dayton Power and Light Co., also a plot of ground adjoining that belongs to M. C.Negley. The Club is cooperating with the Wallace C. Anderson Post of the A- merican Legion which will have joint use of the proposed club house and park along Massies Creek. The funds are^said to be available for the pur­ chase of the grounds* President Harry Hamman of the Progressive Club presided at the din­ ner meeting. The club will ask village officials to bear down on local mer- chnats that have been selling tobacco to minors. Drys Consider Vote On Local Option A movement has been underway for some time for the organization of a dry federation to conduct a local op­ tion election. Such an organization has been formed with Dr. F. A. Jurkat, as president; John Powers, vice presi­ dent, and Mrs. Harold Reinhard, sec­ retary-treasurer. I t is said the group has protested to the state liquor board the granting of additional liquor licenses, as two beer parlors are now in operation, and another asked for. The state liquor board has final, jurisdiction on the granting of .licenses unless the governor intervenes with his own appointees. While there is-genuine concern, re­ gret and dissatisfaction on Capitol Hill-over present strikes and Labor- Management disputes, and a full reali­ sation of the seriousness thereof, most national legislators feel present conditions are but the natural result of the White House labor policies and practices of the past thirteen .years, or that wo are now seeing the N«W Deal chickens coming home to roost.- House Membere.eapecially are pointing out to their constituents that diiring. tlni past ten years the House of Representatives has passed a num­ ber of bills designed to correct or .prevent work stoppages and industrial disturbances, such as have been de- p ligu ingfhe nation recently, but that in each instance, with but one excep­ tion, such legislation was smothered cjefeftCd IP the Sgnat§ as a result of Administration opposition. The one exosption—-the Bmith-ConnaUy Act— became law* in an emasculated form, over the late President Roosevelt’s veto, and no attempt has ever been made to enforce itB provisions. Castor’s Convention Meets Jan. 28 to 31 The twenty-seventh annual Ohio Pastors’ Convention, sponsored by the Ohio Council of Churches, will be held in Columbus; January 28 to 31, with 14 of the nation’s outstanding clerical leaders speaking on the {conference heme “Vision After Victory’’ More than 1900 pastors representing every denomination ahd every county in the state have already registered for the convention.

(Jertninlft ifc 1“ necessary to slow down Army demobilization, those af- fec{$d thereby have a right to know th f why. The statement of tfce Pqmipanding General of the Phll- fpptoe* that veterans must be held in th? wrvjcPTiecaupe of changing World coalition*” explains nothing. The American people are entitled to know what such changes are—if any, President Trumans statement last Tuesday defending the demobilization program i s practically perfect, ahd praising the Army for the way it has been administered, was followed With, in twenty-four hours by orders from General Eisenhower, Army Chief of ' Staff, that all high point veterans over seas be sent home promptly, and for the Whole demobilization program to be studied and reviewed for the purpose of correcting inequities, has httt added to the confusion. Secretary of War Patterson is very much hi the dog house these days.

JOHN W. BRICKER Former Governor J6hn W. Bricker annouridea this Week that he will seek thC hOnrination for United States Sen- atbr from Ohio at the Republican pri­ mary in May. Mr. Bricker served as goveriior fo r three successive terms and le ft the'state in the best financial coriditiOn it had been in fifty years. Dtiring his term he paid off a debt of itevOral million dollars left by the for­ mer Demoerktic governor, Martin L. Davey. Gov; Bricker was the unsuc­ cessful candidate for vice president on the Republican ticket two years ago, after yielding the presidential nomina­ tion to Governor Dewey of New York. So'far no other Republican has en­ tered for the Senatorship nomination and probably none, will, now that Mr. BrickCr is in the race. If there ever was a time for mCn of the Bricker type in our federal government it is while we are going through the recon­ struction period. MANY THANKS TO .

' ■ We 'have received! the. following let­ ter of congratulation from Mr. R? Kenneth Kerr,’publisher of The Lan­ caster, O., Eagle-Gazette. We note by the Eagle-Gazette that it is now in its 187th year and it styles itself the “Pioneer of, the Press in Ohio.” We were acquainted with the Lancaster newspaper field previous to the time Mr. Kerr became publisher and if the standard is maintained in the years to come that Mr. Kerr has set, the Eagle-Gazette is good for another 137 years. The following is the latter which we (• are proud to recognize: Mr. Karlh Bull. Publisher, C&iMrille, Hehtld, Cedarville, Ohio, Mr Dear Karlh: Permit me to write a note of con­ gratulations to you upon having ser­ ved so faithfully your community for twenty-five years as treasurer of your village, To havo served a community for so biany years Is a distinct hon­ or but io those of us in the newspaper fraternity who know Karlh Bull, this is perfectly understandable. Your hW rical sketch on your village was cousinly most interesting and writ­ ten by a good newspaper man. b I read with interest each week your newspaper for being a Democrat 1 want to know what you Republicans are thinking about. Certainly I cah find more good Republican - news in the Cedarville Herald than any other psper t know of. I even get newg qf old Jimto’wn and I am certainly sorry to set th st there are oply a baker’s doten voting the Democratic ticket in that towp, How it has slipped, but I presume Greene County is just like mjr old home county of Clinton where they do not allpw a Democrat to light. I sent the Governor your front page write-up op his speech in your county the other day for I knew it would in­ terest him to uee what a real good Republican newspaper man had to say Mbbut a good Democratic Governor, Hut seriously, ICarlh, let me again offer to you my congratulations both for having served so faithfully your community and having written the liitoridal sketch which appeared in your January fourth issue of your valued paper. Wishing you continued success* am* KENNF/HI KERR The population of the U. S.

COME. 4 The Association of college Presi­ dents and of Church Related Colleges in annual convention held a t Cleve land last week' went on record as fav­ oring a postponement of required mill tary training for our youth until the effort a t world peace shall have had chance to function. The Pres, of The American Academy of Science, Dr. Frank B. Jewett in an address before the meeting made a number of telling statements-among them, Ger­ many was two years behind us be­ cause Hitler, following one of his in­ tuitions, no doubt, stopped radar re­ search 1940-42 in Germany and con­ trolled territory, and thereby sealed lis own doom; science is overempha­ sized today. More attention must be given to the advancement of things of the spirit or science will produce a : rankenstein that will be the undoing of civilization. Truth is stranger than fiction is a familiar saying. „Here is a ease in point. A battle was raiging on Okin­ awa. A, mortar uhit was laying down a barrage just-in front of the Ameri­ can advance, In fact it was too close for comfort for the Yanks and came neat wiping them out. Capt, ‘Gene* Cavanaugh was in charge of the ad­ vance, He rushed hack to have the mortkrs elevated for protection of his unit, And whom do you suppose he came face to face with. Yes Sir, Capt. ‘Hank’ Campbell. Needless to say the guns were elevated. It is opined Cavanaugh’s tones were milder than they would have been had it been some other Captain. How happy w i are to note that both lads are back in God’s country, safe and gradually getting back to civilian ways. UNDERGOES OPERATION Gene Abels, son of Dr, and Mrs. H, H.
