The jury made the death pen­ alty mandatory by its. failure to recommend mercy. The verdict found Gayles guilty o f three counts o f an indictment which: charged premeditated mur­ der, murder while committing a robbery and murder during a kidnaping. Gayles, who once served part o f a life term in Ohio penitenti­ ary for stabbing to death a Cin­ cinnati woman, showed no emotion as the verdict was read. He had pleaded innocent by rea­ son o f insanity. The indictment accused Gayles o f commaridering the car in which Mrs. Adkins and her son, Pfytl 10, were sitting near Franklin the night o f Aug. 31,-and beating the woman before throwing her and the boy out o f the car near Mid­ dletown. Mrs. Adkins died two weeks later. The last witness called by the state Thursday was Dr. R. E. Bushong, superintendent of Lima state hospital fo r the criminally, insane, who testified Gayles was sane Aug. 31 and was sane now. Earlier, a defense witness, Lula Belle Scott of Xenia, an aunt o f the defendant, told the jury Gay­ les had been hit in the head with an axe when he was 16 years old and since had ‘’acted strange­ ly.” The indictment accusing Gayles in Mrs. Adkins’ death made the same charges against Ada David­ son, 17, his alleged companion the night the Franklin ‘housewife was beaten. She w ill go on trial Dec. 1. A t Xenia, Gayles is under in­ dictment fo r the fatal shooting o f Mrs. Ollie Davidson Guy, Ada’s sister, who' told police before she died in Springfield City hospital o f the bullet wound that Gayles had shot her when she refused him permission :to take her sister with him on an automobile trip, which touched Middletown and Cincinnati before it ended ,in New Orleans Sept. 30 where Gay-* les and the girl were taken into custody by the federal bureau of investigation. $121Million MortageFiled InCounty One o f the largest mortages and deeds o f trust ever recorded in Greene county has been filed in the office o f County Recorder F. D. Beatty. The deed trans­ ferred holdings of the U. S. gov­ ernment and the Reconstruction Finance Corp. to the Texas East­ ern Transmission Corp., Shreve­ port, La., in connection with the government's oil pipeline which .passes through a small section o f southeastern Greene county. The mortage, for $121,000,000 in turn was from the Texas cor­ poration to the Manufacturers’ Trust Co., New York Cit^ -and Harold J. Miller, trustee. In addition to making a photo­ copy fo r Greene county records, the recorder’s office also made copies for Fayette, Clinton and Fairfield counties. These counties do not have photo-copy machines which took only three hours to do the work in place o f about three weeks' -time had the copies been typed.

Lodge Protest OverFairfield Lodging a format protest, T. K . King, “ interim” Fairfield mayor after the death o f Mrs. Laura Brown in October, has in­ dicated in a letter to the county board o f elections he has just begun to fight to regain the coun­ cil seat he thought he had won at the Nov. 4 election but which was denied him in a recount two* days ago- In. Iris protest, Mayor King dis­ puted the board’s decision in dis­ allowing six ballots, claiming that the intention of each voter was apparent. The recount, requested by Wil­ liam E. Sipe, who, with King is known to favor the Osborn-Fair- field merger proposal, resulted in Sipe, apparently defeated by one vote, ousting King by a like mar­ gin. Robert Kerw i. a member o f the four-member majority “ anti- merger’f bloc, polled- two votes more than Sipe in the first pre­ cinct count, but the election board recount did not affect Ker- win’s status, leaving the 4-2 council lineup against the merger unchanged. King contends that inclusion of the invalidated half-dozen bal­ lots, would have resulted in ouster o f Kerwin and inclusion o f him­ self, Sipe and Daniel W. Hoak, who led the ticket, as a “ pro­ merger” group equal to the re­ maining council-men-elect. The citizens’ committee, head­ ed by Ben Swigart, who lives in Osborn but operates a dry-clean­ ing business in Fairfield and is a commissioner-elect in Osborn, will meet Friday night, Mayor King said. A t that time the com­ mittee will determine what if any action wyfl he taken in. dis­ puting the recount. Since only 10 days is allowed in which to file common pleas court action, Mr, King said the committee m*ay decide to go a- head with litigation instead o f wasting time waiting for election officials to meet. Keynoting the pro-merger group’s sentiments, Mayor King declared: “ We are only fighting fo r the right of the people to vote on the consolida­ tion issue.” While new court litigation seemed possible in the mueh- discussed Osbom-Fairfield con­ solidation, via the council race, Common Pleas Judge F. L. John­ son is scheduled to hear a man­ damus action next Tuesday which as a taxpayer’s suit to force the presently-deadlocked Fair £ i e I d Council to pass an ordinance call­ ing fo r study o f the merger with a similar group to be named by Osborn’s commission.

BROWN Writes W ith a Buckeye In Congress Member of Congress . Seventh Ohio District It is good to be .back with all .of _^iur friends and readers through the medium, of this .col­ umn,.^following -the. convening of .congress in special. session to , .consider .two great problems—aid - for Europe.and the high, .cost of living here at home. Perhaps^ one of the coolest- re­ ceptions -ever received by jany •president, was that given Presi- -dent Truman when .he addressed the-joint session of congress-on ‘Monday -of -last week. While ;Mr. Truman served ten years as a senator and dias many personal friends on the Capitol hill, the national legislators have nut liked the discourteous way he treated the congressional leaders in connection with .the calling of the special session. Neither did most o f the .legislators approve of the content o f the president's address in which he asked author­ ity to reestablish. a controlled economy for,the -American people. (B-Va,) Sen. Byrd, in commenting vOii-the president’s speech said: “ In order to free Europe -he -proposes to make Americans the slaves <^f a federal bureaucracy.” .The ^president -has asked au­ thority to control private and public credit, the allocation of food stuffs and manufactured articles, fix prices, control wages, regulate imports and exports, and to reimpose rationing.. While it would undoubtedly be “ smart’ politics” for the Republican con­ gress to give a Democrat presi­ dent all o f these powers—for with them the president would probably -ruin himself politically —*-such,a delegation of authority could’.only threaten, if not des­ troy, our national economy.‘Some credit and export controls will be Voted. It is possible authority •may be given to allocate some scarce materials, but there- will be no, return to price and -wage controls or Rationing voted. , J0r56e‘"c6TOlusldiroZ' dent’s address to the joint session of congress Sen. Ball (R-Minn.) wryly remarked: “ I read all that in the -GIO news last week* He then pointed out the economy program supported by the CIO differred from the president's suggested program in only one instance-—wage controls. The ■ president did ask authority to. reimpose wage controls, if and when he saw fit, but most.politi­ cal observers believe this request was window dressing, and that wage controls would never be imposed—while the others prob­ ably would be, if the president was given the broad discretion­ ary powers he requested. The more than 100 members of congress .who visited Europe this past summer are much divided in their .opinions as to what should be done to aid Europe. .-Many insist there is but .little actual hunger and suffering in Europe (no more than before .the war), while others repor^ •there is much hunger, and that fooc^and other aid must be sent to protect Europe from the spread o f communism, ‘Almost all of these legislators agree the peoples of Europe must do more to help, themselves—mostly by g o i n g -hack to work. Undoubtedly a reasonable amount of interim .aid •for Europe—mostly food,^cloth­ ing and medicinal supplies—will •be approved by the congress;, but the over-all four-year Marshall plan, costing somewhere between 15 and-20 billipns of dollars will not be voted any time soon, if at all. Many congressional leaders are insisting that the president’s request fo r appropriations for 1 foreign aid be carefully .studied, and that the American people be told exactly how much the United States has already spent on European aid since the shooting stopped; to what countries goods •and money have been furnished, and the cost to the taxpayers of the United States; what the new ..aid program will cost the people o f this country; and just h ow the funds and goods will be distri­ buted. The-congress will not vote any more blank checks .to the chief executive, or to anyone else; hut instead will insist the -whole foreign , aid-program be -spelled - out in detail before additional funds are. voted. Policeman to BeSpeakerat j ■ The speaker for the Dec. 8 regular meeting of the -Progres­ sive club to be held at the Old Mill Camp will" be Sgt. C. C.*Croft, Jr., of the Dayton police depart­ ment. His topic will be the value o f First A id in the Small Com­ munity. Sgt. Croft has been a member o f the Dayton police department, since 1926, serving most o f that time in traffic control. He has had about 15 years of practical experience in first aid in handling cases on the street. Since 1942 he has taught first aid to Boy, Scouts, police and fac­ tory groups and many civilian defense classes. Sgt. Croft will teach such a class in Cedarville i f there is .a sufficient demand fo r it. School at Meet With only about twenty per­ sons attending a public meeting Friday night in the*court house ^assembly room, £o determine ;resi-“ dents’ -sentiments as to the best site for a new $250,000 consoli­ dated school in ,the Xenia town­ ship school district ended with no .action taken. The new township school board, Harper .Bickett, president said, will meet soon to consider archi­ tects plans and consider more definitely a site for the building, for which a bond issue was ap­ proved at the Nov. 4 election by about 7,0 per cent of the voters. General opinion has been, and- was expressed Friday evening, to locate the school north of Xenia where utilities are available. Some suggestions made at the .open meeting, however, favored other sites but most of these were by persons hoping for loca­ tion .of the new school in their own communities. Abandonment o f the district’s six oner-room and two-room build­ ings will be ordered when the new consolidation .structure is ready for occupancy", hoped for .within a’ year ,to eighteen months. •ESTATE RELIEVED The estate*of..Anna Mendenhall was ordered, relieved- f r o m a d - ministration* Army Need W ar Bead Escorts -Sgt.

As the-poet stated, she always seems to know just “ what we like to eat” and just how to make it look so tempting. No matter where we are on Thanksgiving, or what our-dinner consists of, let us give tEanks. On the -first Thanksgiving Day, our Pilgrim fathers gave thanks fo r their prosperity in a new -land. (Let us.bg thankful that we live in a country where we can have plenty of food and other comforts. A fter all, it isn’t the food that makes Thanksgiving, but the meaning of the day. It is a special day of the year to express our thanks. Thanksgiving of 1947 should be -an opportunity for all to share part of their blessings with other countries not so fortunate. C. H.
