m m w m HE NEEDS Y O tjt w m m im Americans For America— America For Americans RIJY M(M Wt.n > SIXTY -N INTH YEAR No. 27 CEDARVILLE, OHIO, FR IDAY , JUNE 7,1946 PRICE, $1.69 A YEAR CONGRESSIONAL HAPPENINGS IN WASHINGTON By CLARENCE J. BROWN Member o f Congress On Wednesday o f last week the House, by a vote o f 230 to 106, con­ curred in the Senate amendments to the Case bill, and sent that labor re­ form measure to the White House for the President’s approval or veto. The bill, which originated in the House and passed that body some three months ago had , been changed only slightly by the Senate. Under its provisions every ■attempt to con- cilitate and mediate labpr disputes will first be made' by the Government during ia sixty day cooling o ff period before any strike of national import­ ance can become legally effective. While the right of collective bargain­ ing is assured and maintained; em­ ployment contracts once made must be kept by both employers and era ployees, and a cause of action will lie t for any violation thereof. Unioniza­ tion supervisory employees is prohibi­ ted by the bill, as are jurisdictional strikes, sympathy strikes and boycotts The use of force, - intimidation and violence in laboi* disputes is also pro­ hibited, while welfai'e funds can be established and maintained only, un­ der joint control of both management and labor. . . *■■ Some administration spokesmen in­ sist that President Truman will veto the Case Bill, which, of course, is de­ signed to be permanent legislation for the purpose of regulating And con­ trolling the conduct of Labor-Mana­ gement disputes in the future. The Case bill is not nearly as stringent or coercive as the emergency legislation requested by the President in his acL dress to Congress oh. May 25th. So it is hard to' believe that Mr. Truman, who demanded strong labor legislation from the Congress when both he and the nation were in difficulty, will re­ fuse to approve a more moderate and mild measure such as the Case] Bill, to prevent a recurrence of such na­ tion-wide strikes in the future. It now appears likely the Senate will go even farther in amending the Price Control Act, and will prohibit certain OPA policies and practices in the future not covered in the House approved bill of several weeks •ago. In all probability all control over the production and sale of meat, poultry, eggs and dairy products wil be taken way from OPA by Senate amend­ ments to the pending bill, while other Changes in the present system also seem to be in the making. President Booth Holds For Farm Floor Price Arthur H. Booth, Sandoval, 111), has been named president o f the United Farmers o f America and he issues a statement that will be o f interest to all farmers. “ In becoming President of the Uni­ ted Farmers of America, Inc;, it seems to mo, it becomes my duty to place before the citizens o f this nation the wishes and aims of its bona-fide far­ mers, and first on the liBt, as I see it is the demand o f a floor under farm prices at not less than our average Cost of Production,” plus a reason­ able profit, as this, our American Way of Life. We do not guarantee to any farmer a profit in his farming op­ eration, but we do demand that any foods or fibers that he does produce, he is entitled to a price that will equal our average cost. No honest man expects more than this, and none but a fool will be content with less, hence we will never wilfully consent to the powers of greed driving down farm prices below our averagp cost, as has occured many times in the past. We reserve the right to strike, but knowing that a farmers’ strike would hurt ‘first, and hardest the poor, the tielpless, and the innocent, we refuse to even consider using this weapon except in a cast o f last resort. But, if it becomes necessary to preserve the American farmer or American Way of Life, and if the need arises, I would not hesitate'1to ask the farmer to with hold his products from the, market to iccomplish these ends. . We are opposed to Communism or .my form of government, whereby the people become servants of the state. We believe the people should support the govemriment and be su­ preme rulers, hence any OPA or AAA directives or subsidies in lieu of fair prices are not in harmony with the rims and desires of the,’ farmers of 1776 who by their sacrifices made this * free nation, and we intend to main­ tain it free, cost what it may." HHlm pmHWHIM To those who still believe the state­ ments and claims o f OPA spokesmen, and other Administration leaders like Chester Bowles,“that the price. line has been held by OPA under the law which they now say must not be a- mended, we respectfully call attention to^a report of the Cbngressional Food ■Ptody Committee, made last Wednes­ day, which shows that 73 standard food items, which could be purchased for a total price of $10.94 in April, *39 sold fo r $18.06 in the lowest markets in April, 1946, and as high as $26.20 in smaller grocery stores. In other words, the price increase in this standard grocery list ranged any. f where from 60 per cent to 140 percent * over 1939—which does not sound like , “holding the line” , does it? Just to bring back food memories, butter was selling at 23c a pound, sliced bacon at 24c a pound, and sugar-cured ham at 23c a pound in Washington stores in April 1939. Ten pounds of flour cost 30c in 1939 and sells now for 55c, and round steak has . increased in price from 29c to 38c per pound, Oranges from 15c a dozen to 42c, green beans from 8c to 20c, peaches from 13c per 16c, coffee from 13c to 21c, and navy beans from 5c per pound to 12c, American farmers, who are unable to obtain all the fertilizer they need to produce food crops this year, may be interested in knowing that while a number o f Government • fertiliser, plants ate standing idle, three cotton and tobacco states—-North Garolina, South Garolina and Georgia—are at the present time receiving more fertil­ izer than all of the twenty-five food producing states o f the North. These three states, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia—will receive a- bout 3,240,000 tons o f fertilizer this year under the government's program o f distribution, while Ohio Indian^ Illinois, Michigan, Wisconson, Minne- , sota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, North Dakota, South 'Dakota Nebraska, Okla homa, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mex­ ico, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecticut, NeVr Jersey, and Dcla war# combined, will receive a smaller total amount o f fertilizer. All o f this despite the Urgent wartime need fo r more food production and the critical shortage of both fertilizer and food. The United States has extended a total credit ,or loan o f one billion ' three hundred seventy million dollars Montgomery W est To Head McKinley School W. Montgomery West Milford, O., son of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. West of this place, was employed Monday- by che Xenia city school board as the new principal of McKinley grade school, vV. Market st. He will succeed ,Miss Edna Bloom, principal there for many years, who was re-assigned to Central junior high for the fall and winter term. Mr. West was released from the ser­ vice in April, having served in Europe for two years. Graduating from Ce- darville College he became principal of the elementary school at West Mid­ dletown, Butler county. He is now at­ tending the University o f Cincinnati. Methodists Honor Dr. Abels and Family jr ii ii nr. in nm One hundred and seventy-five mem­ bers and friends o f Cedarville and Sel­ ma Churches honored Dr. and Mrs, H. H. Abels and family with a fare­ well party Tuesday evening in the Methodist Church. A covered dish dinner was served after which a pro, gram was presented o f musical num­ bers and readings. .jVIiss Josephine landall presided. " , The Abel family was presented with an occasional table and table lamp from the two churches. The Cedar, villc and Selma Youth Fellowships presented a table lamp. Dr. and Mrs. Abels responded and the program closed by singing “ God Be With You Till We Meet Again.” Dr. and Mrs, Able will move to Jamestown under assignment o f the Methodist Confer­ ence. SOUTH CHARLESTON MAY HAVE SOFTENING WATER PLANT South Charleston officials have ask. ed local citizens to express themselves on a water softening plant for the village. A referendum will be taken after all information regarding the system including increased water rates, are given to Consumers. Such a plant would cost about $50,000. to France to help that nation begin its four year reconstruction program. Of this total the Export-Import Bank has made France a direct cash loan of six hundred fifty million dollars. The line o f credit for the balance o f seven hundred twenty million dollars, is ex­ tended to permit the French to settle their lendlcasc account with, this country, and to purchase Army and Navy surpluses now in France and in French overseas territory. Additional credit is promised France if she de­ cides to purchase approximately sev­ en hundred twenty thousand tonB of American owned merchant shipping, as now planned, Russia is also seek­ ing a one billion dollar loan from* the United,States, while the British Loan Agreement, totaling-four billion four hundred million dollars, is how pend, ing in Congress.

Poster winners in the state contest will be exhibited at the Ohio Stq£e Junior Fair in connection with the state fair in August. NEW HAY MAKING METHODS Getting the hay crop successfully harvested and stored has always been a big problem and indications are that it will be a real problem this year. Within recent years, two new practic. al methods-(silage making and mow curing) have been developed as sub­ stitutes to, or supplements' for the age-old method of complete field dry­ ing o f hay. ■ Silage making is least dependent on the weather and even may be car­ ried on during rainy periods. Molasses corn and cob meal or chemicals can be added to freshly cut grass and the mixture ehsiled or the grass can be allowed to wilt and ensiled without a preservative. Putting semi-cured bay ill the barn to finish by forced ventilation also increases greatly the chances of get- ting hay stored without damage from weather or shattering and deducts the losses and dangers from mow heating. Charges o f “ bungling” upon the part o f President Truman in handling national strikes and the Democratic ' Party was “ controlled by .radicals who ‘ want to destroy free enterprise, civil liberty and our American way o f life” were made Monday night by Repre­ sentative Clarence J. Brown of the Seventh Ohio Congressional District. Representative Brown o f Blanches- ter, who also is chairman o f the ex­ ecutive committee o f the Republican National Committee, addressed 31 central and executive Republican chairmen and secretaries from the 7th Congressional District. The talk was made at an organization meeting of the group in the Hotel Shawnee. Fred H. Johnson, chairman o f the Ohio Republican Central arid Execu­ tive Committees, also spoke to outline party policies for the November elec- tiori campaign. Giark, Champaign, Clinton, Fayette Madison, Logan, Greene, Union and Warren Counties, comprising the 7th Ohio District, were represented. “ If we are conservative” , Represen­ tative Brown said o f the Republican Party, “ it means we want to conserve human freedom and give the govern­ ment back to the people.” The President, he accused, “ is under the control of radicals who will ruin the country with their adopted ‘isms’ and he predicted that “ millions of old line' Democrats” will abandon their 'radical dominated Party” to support the Republican party in November. No matter what they call themsel­ ves” , Mr. Brown said, “ they’re trying to breakup what made us the great­ est nation in the world. If their plans are so good, why are the countries they got them from trying to live o ff the United States?" ' THIRD COVER SPRAY FOR APPLES • Fruit growers are advised by T. H. Parks o f the orchard spray (service to apply the third cover spray fori apples June 6. This spray is fo r codl­ ing moth, apple scab and other dis­ eases. The rainy cool weather during May' has been favorable fo r secondary fungus and a fungicide should be in­ cluded in the spray. Materials recommended are wetable or flotation sulfur 8 pounds, lead ar­ senate 3 pounds, Zinc sulfate 1 pound, hydrated lime 3 pounds and water 100 gallons. Four pounds of dry or one pound of liquid-lime sulfur may be used in the absence of milder sul­ fur fungicides. Publisher Knight Wins Supreme Court Case An Ohio publisher,, John S. Knight, Akron, publisher and owner o f the BeaconJournal; Detroit Free Press; Chicago Daily N owb and Miami, Fla., Herald, ,won an important decision in the U. S. Supreme Court this week. Gambling is a favorite past-time in Florida, summer and winter. There has been a campaign to hold it down in Miami and a certain case was up for trial. The Herald was critical of certain rulings o f the Court. This an- gored the presiding judge who ordered certain employes of the Herald for con.tenpt o f court. Tho Florida Courts on appeal supported the lower court and Mr, Knight appealed to the Su­ preme Court, which reversed all the lower courits and dismissed the con­ tempt proceedings releasing the em­ ployees o f the Herald. TURKEYS ON PASTURE— Turkey growers are literally turn­ ing their turkeys out to pasture to re­ duce production costs, Growers claim good pasture for the growing flock ia the most practical way o f turning out turkey meat at less expense than usual. Turkeys are hearty grazers and will make good use of rape, Sudan grass, soybeans, alfalfa or clover. Most growers put their birds on range when they are eight to ten weeks old, Birds o f more than two weeks dif­ ference in age are placed on separate ranges because the older birds drive younger ones away from feeders and may injure them in ether way#. Birds are moved every week or ten days to avoid outbreak o f diseases. Temporary fences make pasture rotation much easier. EGGS GRADE BETTER DURING RAINY WEATHER Rainy weather is credited by th# manager o f the Ohib Valley egg auc­ tion with helping poultrymen produce better eggs because the. moist air slows down evaporation within th# egg shell. Eggs which have lost any considerable amount o f this natural water content go into' the lower grad# when candled, Flock .owner# are urged to cull th# layers so each 100 layers are produc­ ing at least 40 eggs per day- Higher feed price# make the close culling jieci- essary if the farmers are going to get any profit from hi# flock th(# year Ruling Given On Responsibility O f Dead Trees Near Roac The Greene County Commissioners have received a ruling from Frosecu. tog Marcus Shoup on responsibility. Of dead trees along side public highways. Due to diseased trees there are many dead trees that will prove dangerous in ’time by falling across the roads. The ruling follows: “ Owners o f such trees who permit; them to remain standing do so at their own personal risk” according to the prosecutor,, “and where the owner fails to remove the trees the county may proceed to do so under a section of the general code and collect the en­ tire expense from the owner.” The Commissioners had raised,the question as to the liability for. person­ al injuries or property damage result, ing from the hazard o f trees. The Prosecutor cited certain court rulings that “it remained the responsibility oJ the owner o f the dead trees tha; stand within the limits o f the high, ways to have them removed in order, to eliminate the possibility o f person­ al or financial liability for personal injury or property damage suffered by the public while in the luwful use of the highways." The prosecutor pointed out the gen­ eral, code empowers counties to. have the trees removed by giving written notice to the abutting property own­ ers, If you fail to do so the county may proceed with the work* 'and the cost is placed on the tax statement of the real estate owner'and collected in other taxes by the county in one in­ stallment. , v Slaughter Quotas Still Failure, Meat Institute Asserts The Drover’s Journal, Chicago, has the following to' say about the meat situation: . Most housewives are paying about 30 per cent more than OPA ceiling prices for round Bteaks, rib roasts and chuck roasts the American Meat In. stitute reports. The instil ate said it based this fig ­ ure upon shopping .surveys made in 11 cities by two independent research a- gencies. This is evidence, the institute said, 'o f the complete failure o f the OPA slaughter control program, which was presented as a cure for the black market.” A table said to show ’ fictional price and factual price o f beef was releaB- prices for beef reached during the in- flationary period after World 'War I, Peak OPA Actual after ’ceiling prices World prices, paid, War I cents cents cents per lb. per lb. per lb, Round Steaks. 40.8 53.5 41.6 Rib roa s ts______42.5 35.2 Chuck r o a s ts ___ 30.1 ' 39.1 29.7 The meat institute also stated that In the,week ending May 25 10 legiti­ mate meat packing companies were able to purchase only one-third o f the cattle they were permitted to buy un­ der the government’s control program. This indicates, the institute said, that the mere establishment o f a quota and stay within OPA compli­ ance. What Would ^Happen I f Farmers Did Strike? We are not so sure farmers realize what it would mean if agriculture was to go on strike. Now and then some individual farmer or farm or. ganization comes out with a statement that farmers should go on a strike and lock i up the farm . gates fo r a year to let people have a taste of the New Deal method of taking what you want when yOu want it. No doubt farmers feel like others do. But as we see it you have a dangerous ad­ ministration in Washington. It has the name o f an old political party but <t is manned with an element that is taking orders from Moscow. Let the people get hungry and civil war would be the result. Then the Communists would cry “ take over the land” like the coal mines and railroads. Then the farmer would no longer be his own master. His home no longer be his .castle. That is why Senator Taft pointed out the background o f the Truman proposal o f “ work or fight.” The Senator knows full well that as long as Truman can operate under the war powers act, the farmer can, be put in the same class as the striking railroad engineer or coal miner. Far-' mors had better do more thinking' of their own future than listening to the New Deal subsidy bribe proposals.. PROPERTY OWNERS ARE TO ORGANIZE AGAINST NEW DEAL OPA RULES The real estate dealers'in the county have started a worth while-movement to organize property owners to com., bat the OPA rental rulings. In as much as the upcost- H property has at least doubled in the past ten years, under OPA rules most property is still being rented at the Same rent as ten years ago. Taxes and insurance has increased and cost o f painting and repairs in many cases cannot be made and leave the property owner any­ thing for his investment. A property owners protective organ­ ization will be formed Wednesday eve at Geyers, Xenia, which will permit all property owners to become mem­ bers. In Dayton hundreds of property owners refuse to rent rooms due to the cost o f upkeep and low rentals. In addition worthless renters cannot be removed without great cost in court proceedings; GREENE FISH AND GAME OX ROAST AND PICNIC.

Attorneys Gets Wish - “Stay Home and Rest” Just a week previous to the death of Attorney Harry D. Smith the writ­ er had a short talk with him at the corner of Detroit and Main for sever-, al minutes. Little did we realize then that it was to be our last conversation with, one we had known from school days to the present. We discussqd politics and Harry was always in­ terested in politics, especially if it affected business in general. He casu­ ally remarked that he had never been busier in his life and at a time he had hoped for relaxation. Commenting he said:..“ You know practicing law to­ day is nothing compared to what it was fifteen or twenty, years ago. To­ day most of us lawyers in Xenia are pettyfoggers. doing things daily that once;was looked upon as business In police or justice court. You know we have so much government meddl­ ing in private business today that the honest business man does not even know when he might be violating some government decree or federal order made law by some appointed of­ ficial and not to be found on the stat­ ute books. What is law under dicta­ torship today is eliminated the next day by another order, unknown either to the bar or business man. It is a constant worry to keep up with such crankish rulings yet we always try to aid our patrons where possible. Some nights I go home thinking I will not go to the office the next day. Just stay at home and rest. But then, tho phone rings and here is a client in trouble again with his government arid he needs advice and I find myself back at the office.” Probably each and every attorney in Xenia would say “ Amen” , to what Mr, Smith had said. The mess we are in today is far worse than before or during the war. And it will continue to get worse before it gets better. Six month o f winter cold and hunger will do more to cure the 'populace than anything we know o f and it “ might be just a- round the corner” . Propeller Fell On Farm ' Endangering Owner One engine in a B.29 four motor air­ plane went out and a four blade pro­ peller weighing 1,000 pounds pulled loose smashirig a great hole in the air craft while it was traveling at 361 miles an hour over Springfield and parts spread about Leffel lane near the John Perrin farm.. The big bomb­ er coasted on to Wright Field and made a safe landing. . Mr. Perrin was standing at the cor­ ner o f his house about 40 feet from where the propeller fell, Mrs, Loraine Brown, 316 Highvlew ave., was just entering her home and was carryihg her baby when a large piece o f alumiinum casting hit the cement porch; Other residents reported finding parts o f the engine in theiri yards A t 335 W Euclid *Ve., a heavy piece fell in the yard near a house and buried itself about five foot in.the ground. CIESWELL TOSWCEE 0 Corn planting has been greatly de-. layed all over the central states due to continued rains. It is near time to harvest alfalfa hay but the rains and wet ground will make that crop very, uncertain. O f recent years with the ; labor shortage on farms what it is, farmers bailed the alfalfa from, th#- win row. This saved time and labor,; This-year there is little or no bailing wire and farmers are running here and there trying to make purchas but it cannot.be found. - % The shortage is due to the New Deal; planners in Washington;' They figur­ ed the farmers could get along on just; half o f the wire used last year and.’ allotted just, enough steel to manufac­ turers fo r that amount. Then came* the prolonged steel strike and demand; for-metal; building materials so them was no chance o f the farmer gettinjg ' even half as much bailing wire as last * year. Wire fence is another wire ma­ terial that will be hard to find. The farmer that has preached New Deal has no reason to complain about the wire and fence shortage fo r it waa his crowd that created the scarcity. In fact in justice to his neighbor ha (the New Deal farmer) should wait until the anti-New Deal fanners gat their supply first and then that crowd divide what is left, if any.’ We. do not expect the milliminum in our time. DO NOT FAIL TO READ BROWN'S LETTER THIS WEEK ON THE , SHORTAGE OF FERTILIZER; Cong. Clarence J, Brown baa an un­ usually interesting letter in this is­ sue this week. He givds important in­ formation on the fertilizer shortage and the inside on the loan to France. Read his letter and then give it more than passing attention.

Franklin, Boy Writes: On Food Situation We have been informed from a reliable source through a lat­ er from a Franklin boy now In the armed forces in Europe to his parents, not'to be taken in by the appeal to ’ send money and food to Europe. He says food is not abundant but there is plenty to ward o ff hunger if one is willing to work and do something fo r himself. This lad writes there are lit­ tle on the verge o f starvation all because the parents refuse work. They all sit around and boast, that Uncle Sam will take care o f them. This .class con­ stitutes ninety percent o f t}ie Communist following. They have taken the Roosevelt N*w Deal promises as manna from heaven'* and are sitting around waiting fo r the American boats to bring them succor. American citizens might ask themselves the question as to how it comes that the same kind o f a speech delivet certain New Dealers ‘ v« 4 y xaetly the ington is delivered e c same day in the British Perli- menb the French House o f Deputies end in, Moscow
