CLARENCE J, BROWN Writes With a Buckeye In Congress Member of Congress Seventh Ohio District WITH A BUCKEYE IN CONGRESS Last week wheat prices reach­ ed a 30 year h igh -passing the three dollar per bushel mark. The reason: Under orders from the White House , government officials have been competing in the open market against" domes­ tic flour mills fo r the short sup­ plies of wheat which remain here in America. The government, of course, is buying in order to ship wheat flour abroad for the use o f the needy of other nations, but it was only a year or so ago that the same government, over the opposition of many o f us in congress, was subsidizing the sale o f wheat at low prices fo r animal feed, industrial use, etc., at a cost o f hundreds o f millions o f dollars to the taxpayers. How good some o f that "old wheat in the bin’t would look right now. Bread prices have already in­ creased in many cities and are expected to go up at least an­ other two or three cents per loaf as a result o f this latest govern­ ment policy. As a compromise between those who would like to end all sugar rationing on March 31, and those who insist it should be carried on fo r another year, the congress will probably enact leg­ islation to end all sugar controls on October 31, after the new sugar crop has been harvested. While there is a plentiful supply of sugar on the retailers’ shelves and in the refiners’ warehouses at the present time, and much sugar has been sold in the black market as a result o f the ineffi­ cient administration o f the pre­ sent rationing laws, congress­ ional committees which have studied the sugar supply situa­ tion report over-all sugar sup­ plies will be ten to fifteen per cent below normal u/itil the 1947 crop o f sugar beets and cane have been harvested. They Insist i f rationing is lifted now the bev­ erage manufacturers and the in­ dustrial and commercial sugar users will obtain most o f the available supply, prices will jump to 30 cents per pound, or more, with very little sugar available ? r YY .<# m w m , A Xf wn. . •Cc i % rj5i<«vei> t, y .

There was no" real rea­ son why- there should ever have been a sugar shortage in this country, had the administration in power during the last few years been more .wise, and a little more interested in ‘domestic sugar production,"!!: sugar ra­ tioning continues each individual consumer .will have his allotment increased by ten pounds between now and October. It is now certain Mr. Truman’s proposal to send financial and military aid' to Greece and Tur­ key will not be voted on jn either house or the senate by March 31, as he orginally requested. In­ stead the legislators are insist­ ing the congress and the people be given complete information on the administration’s foreign pol­ icies and commitments. Everyone wants to know whether the Pres­ ident’ s proposal is likely to bring war with Russia, what other- countries will be given financial and military aid by the United States, the total cost o f the over­ all program of the president, and what steps the administration will take to get rid of the Com­ munists within our own govern­ ment and elsewhere throughout America. .Many congressional eyebrows were lifted last week when it was learned that while the people of most destitute, and the. Greek government is appealing to the United States- fo r financial aid, King George o f Greece will be drawing a tax-free salary of $200,000.00 per year. President Truman’s annual salary is $75,- 000.00 but taxes cut bis net in- Greece are suffering and are al- tax cut will go to those having an oyer-all income o f less than five thousand dollars a year, The new labor bill, to make many, changes in* present labor laws and practices, will be report­ ed to the House within the next two weeks. Considerable other 8RoomHouse Come down to about $30,000.00. While we do, not a ways agree with President Truman, we do question that the services o f any King especially King George of Greece—is worth seven times as much as President Truman’s. By the time’ this appears in print the house of representa­ tives will probably he debating the new tax reduction bill. Ac­ cording to present plans, it will - provide that the tax on persons having less than one thousand dollars o f net income, after ex­ emptions, will be reduced by30%. Those with incomes in the middle bracket will get a twenty per cent cut, while taxes on the high brackets will be reduced by ten percent. Under- this arrangement the largest benefit will go to the great mass o f taxpayers—some twenty million in the lower in­ come group. It will mean a sav­ ing of $57.00 a year to the family having a net income. It is esti­ mated three-fourths o f the total four and one-half billion dollar legislation o f importance will also be brought before congress, early in April, fo r the various commit­ tees o f the house are beginning to complete their work on many legislative proposals. Despite propaganda to the .contrary the new 80th congress is farther ahead with its schedule at this time than any congress in recent ■years. Under the provisions o f leg­ islation passed last week by the congress, OPA will be dead and buried for good not later than June 30. Practically all OPA activities, except putting away j records and files, will be com-" pleted early in April, and many- thousands of present OPA em -: ployees will he separated from ' the payroll. Some will be trans-f ferred to agriculture to aid in sugar rationing, i f it is continued temporarily, while a few others may continue to handle rent con- trol, under some other agency, until final disposition is made o f that problem. 1 Modem 1 1-2 Story Brick 3 rooms Bard wood floors 2 nice fireplaces 2 car garage 170-60 foot lot Nice Location Immediate Possession Rockhold&Taylor Xenia or appliance cord . . . before you start an electric motor . . . powerful generators have produced the power you need, giant transformers and miles o f transmission lines have brought depend­ able electric power service right into your home, store or factory, ever ready in advance o f your need.
