BIIVIUBK BO ilDS American* For Am erica— America For Americans R i f f MORI WAR HPN [!\ SIXTY-NINTH YEAR No. 3Q CEDARVILLE, OHIO, FRIDAY, JUNE 28,1946 CONGRESIONAL HAPPENINGS IN WASHINGTON By CLARENCE J. BROWN Member o f Congress As this column is being prepared thfe Congress, in turn, is preparing to "pass upon two controversial Conference Re­ ports presenting compromise bills on extension o f the Price Control Act, under which OPA functions, and the Selective Service Act, under which men are drafted into the armed forces. Later this week it is expected the British Loan will be brought up in the House for consideration. It now appears certain that if OPA is to continue to function after next Sunday midnight, it will be under a Price Control Act much different from the present,.law. .House and Senate conferees on price control legislation are expected to report a compromise bill this week which will prohibit the fixing o f ceiling prices on commodities at less than the cost o f production, plus a fair and reasonable profit. The ' present OPA regulations requiring the manufacturers to make the same per­ centage of various priced goods as were produced prior to the war, will also be outlawed; while distributors dud retailers will no longer be needed to absorb a part of the increased costs o f manufacturing, the commodities they sell. A system o f decontrol of commodities, now under price ceilings and other OPA regulations, will also be set up by the new legislation. Whether all price ceilings and con­ trols will be taken off of meat, poultry and dairy products, as provided, in the Senate bill, is still in ..question at the time this column is being prepared. In all probability,, if the Price Control A ct is extended it will not be beyond March 31st , 1947. A compromise bill has been agreed upon by Mouse and Senate conferees .to extend the life„of Selective Service to March 31st, 1947, with provisions which will exempt eighteen year olds from the draft by advancing the mini­ mum ago fo r induction-to nineteen. Tho measure also prohibits the draft­ ing o f fathers, and provides for dis­ charge o f all fathers now \n the armed forces who may apply therefor. Also that no inductee shall be required to serve more than eighteen months, with all men now in the army who have longer service being eligible for discharge by October 1st. No draftee will be called up for induction in any month in which’ volunteer enlistments are sufficient to meet Army man-pow­ er requirements.. There arc many Members o f Congress who oppose any continuation o f the draft beyond July 1st, but in all probability the Admin­ istration will be able to-.force through the compromise Selective Service Ex­ tension Bill. The House and Senate have settled differences over the increased pay schedule fo r those in the armed forces by approving the House Bill, which boosts the pay o f buck privates and apprentice seamen'from fifty dollars per month to seventy-five dollars, with corresponding increases for other en­ listed personnel. Officers in the arm­ ed forces will receive a flat increase of four hundred dollars per year under the new legislation. It is believed the new pay schedule will greaty increase new pay schedule will greatly increase the Army. Sufficient men have al­ ready volunteered to meet the peace­ time needs o f the “Navy and Marine Corps. Both the Congress and the President seem to be having a difficult time de­ ciding what should be done about the atomic bomb, what sort o f a govern­ mental agency or commission should be responsible therefor, and how its use should be controlled in the future. The Baruch plan for outlawing the use o f atomic bombs in'future War­ fare through international agreement, is receiving careful Congressional study. However, there is one thing upon which all members arc agreed, and that is: The secret o f the atomic bomb must be kept by the United States until our safety and security are completely guaranteed, The Truman Administration would like very much to have the public for­ get ail about the controversies which have been raging between various members o f the Supreme Court, but somehow or other, as the days go by the issue grows warmer. Just last week. Senator Eastland, Democrat o f Mississippi,; arid Senator Bridges, Re­ publican of New Hampshire, joined in introducing a constitutional amend­ ment that provides for the ‘unpacking* o f the Supreme Court through retire­ ment o f all but the first three Justices named by President Roosevelt, and that in the future no President shall be permitted to name more than three sitting members o f the Supreme Court, As time passes “ The Nine Old Men’ * who were castigated by Presi­ dent Roosevelt at the time he was at- ( C ontinued O n P age T wo ) Springfield Editor Says ‘Let Our Food Alone’ It was amusing to read a story in the Springfield Sun this week' which pictured out o f town citizens coming into Springfield and buying up gro­ cery and meat supplies that were al­ ready scarce. When we read the story we had to laugh to ourselves*. Not only last Saturday but for many weeks we find a line o f automobiles from Springfield, Dayton apd Xenia on our streets as early as seven o’clock in the morning waiting for some of our stores to open. The situation has become so acute one local store has resorted to giving out numbers to customers to ward a- gainst disputes. We‘ invite the Springfield reporter down some Saturday mprning when he can get another story !of how “ out­ siders shop for our food supplies’’. And the situation will-continue to exist as long as OPA exists.’ j\ While our personal experience i s 1 not along food lines we have been in xeed o f certain building material. A Springfield friend gave us a tip where ,ve could get what we wanted but in ,i “ black market” . We made the call •it the-right address and found the ‘market” was operated by a retired umister who had his lumber Stored mtside the city. The blackmarket ,.rice was “ Not less than $100 per housand feet and certain lines ten percent more” . It was lumber cut in Democratic Kentucky but higher in mice than our pocketbook would itand. • ALONGFARM FRONT E. A . Drake, Co.

In recent tests hogs fed in this man­ ner ffom the last o f June until late September averaged two-thirds o f a pound daily gain. A t the end of the period, 70 pound hogs averaged 180 pounds cftch when put on full feed o f corn and tankage, free choice, fit the close of the pasture season late in September.

The best way to avoid nutritional waste is to cut early in the morning, before the dew is off and cut only what can be handled in one day. On a Sunny morning, the cut stems should be exposed by a side delivery rake soon after clipping, being careful to roll the tender leaves inside. This will cause the moisture to be drawn from the stems instead, o f through the leaves. DURABILITY OF FENCE POSTS Tests of the durability of fence posts indicate osage orange with an average o f 30 years o f serviceability leads the, list, with black locust a very close second. Catalpa, mulberry, atid chestnut last half that long, white oak is serviceable for 12 years, and sassa­ fras will hold a fence up for about 10 years.

Town Needs Cleaner Sidewalks One thing heeded is cleaner side­ walks each week day during the sum­ mer months. Take a look at the side­ walk in front o f each place o f busi­ ness. This matter is mentioned as re­ sult o f an out-of-town lady’s remarks in our hearing after she alighted from a south bound passenger bus. Here is her remark: “ Did you. ever see such dirty sidewalks?” That was the impression o f a lady from outof-town here on a visit.' -A r the statement was made in our hear­ ing we took a stroll from the bridge to Bouth on Main st. oh both sides and we discovered it might be well to have the attention o f business men called to the condition of the sidewalks in front of their places o f business. We suggest that each business house have the sidewalk swept each morning soon after opening. It'might be well that each one flush the sidewalks with water as this would eliminate the fly pest to a large extent. There is no question but that the sidewalks In front o f most business houses are anything but inviting. The situation is a matter o f health. Council can regulate under a state law just as cities regulate. Most cities require all sidewalks in front o f business houses flushed before eight o’clock each week day morning. When visitors are attracted by the unwholesome condition o f our side­ walks it is time there be voluntary ac­ tion to correct the condition or have ! council regulate sanitary conditions under penalty for failure to do so. Twp. O fficers Urged To Resist Centralization Thomas J, .Herbert, Republican nom inee for governor o f Ohio, Tuesday, in Cincinnati, appealed to- township trustees and clerks, to take the lead in resisting “ the new deal trend toward centralization o f government,” Herbert spoke before the convention o f the Ohio State Association o f Town ship Trustees and Clerks at. the Taft Auditorium. Paying tribute to the late Alfred Bettman of Cincinnati, also a -former state attorney general, Herbert said: “ In 1930, when I served as assistant attorney general under Bettman, he called township trustees the outposts and custodians o f local self govern. ]ment,-who for 800 years have tended to pull government towards home, and nail it to the ground. “ I believe in what Bettman said then and now. 1 “ In these intervening years the rtew deal has done much to undermine and weaken local government for the al leged purpose o f introducing greater governmental efficiency. “ But have they solved your agricul­ tural problems? Has the new deal planned prosperity brought us true economy? “It has not.” Herbert pointed out .that no one knows, better than township officials the value o f strong local government, and the danger o f moving government far from the people governed. T am conscious o f the price which has been paid to maintain our full freedom, and I recognize that we must modernize our governmental -structure and keep it in good working order' as we go. “ I urge the members o f this associa­ tion to devote themselves to the solu­ tion o f the complicated .and inter-re­ lated problems o f government with an open mind, but with a firm determina­ tion to preserve the maximum of indi­ vidual liberty by keeping government close to home.” R. 6 .

' Gov.Lausche Asks For More State Funds Dipththeria Cases On increase In County • ( - ; j- An increasing number o f Diphtheria cases have been reported all oyer the county. One case has recently been re­ ported in Xenia. It is especially im­ portant therefore that all children past the age o f six months'be immunized for diphtheria. All children entering school next fall should be immunized and vacci­ nated before school opens. Many of the schools require vaccination for small pox and immunization for diph­ theria. ■ Some physicians do not wish to vac- inate during the -hot summer months of Julyand August.
