PAGE TWO HP THE JAMESTOWN JOURNAL ♦ ‘ ♦ ♦ * Thursday, May 6, 1954 ROVIN' H r f A 0 ta //i/i fJ /iu /te We have here In Greene County a banker , . . one Mr. Russell B. Stewart , . . who Is a man of many abilities . . . capabilities , . . and functions. Banker Stewart Is President of the Miami Deposit Bank which has Its main office In Yellow Spring. Antioch College Is a big customer. Under the guidance of Banker Stewart, the Institution has expanded and It also has a branch in Cedarvtlte, Banker Stewart Is nn active member of the Board of Trustee.' ' that revered , sacrosanct educational Insti­ tution . , , Antioch College. Bankt, Stewart Is also treas­ urer of Antioch College , . . that citadel of learning et cetera which has brought nation-wide renown to Yellow Springs and Greene County. (We wouldn't use the word "notoriety" with its connotations, Boy . . . we got In a lot of those slx-blt Antioch College words quickly . . . didn’t we?) How . . . Banker Stewart has been known to talk to newsmen. To one . , . for example . . .’he talked “off the record." To another . . . he talked for the world to read, Banker Stewart haa also been known to write letters. One he released to a newsman,- Others he hasn't released . . yet. Both his press Interviews and his letters have been , . shall we say , a bit paradoxical of late . . , as, they might put it In the Antioch vernacular. As we ptyn folks would say It: Banker Stewart has gotten his dates and signals mixed up somewhere, Now , . . we’re interested in nothing but the plain and painful facta , . . just the facts, sir . . . so we'd appreciate an early reply from Banker Rnteell B, Stewart to the fol­ lowing letter: May 6, 1954 Dear Banker Stewart; We have noted with much Interest your recent press notices about “smears” and people "shooting off their mouths." Now , . . Banker Stewart , . . since when is the truth a “smear" and since when is It improper for anyone to "shoot off his’ mouth” or to otherwise expose the truth about an undesirablt and dangerous situation? Tell us . . . won’t you? We’ll print it. And . . . Banker Stewart . . , you state that we were "15 yean late.” Aw . . . shucks . . . Mr. Banker! Why . . , didn’t you know and haven’t you heard that Antioch Col­ lege had on its faculty an identified member of a Com­ munist spy ring as late ns 1948? When we studied arith­ metic, tliut added up to much less than 15 yean ago. And , , , , that ,faculty member was on the Antioch College staff after his connection with the Canadian spy ring had been published in the press. Tell us . , , Banker Stewart . . . who appointed him . . . who kept him on and . . . why? We are sure that you figure the payments and Interest on your loans with a much greater degree of accuracy than you are quoted as showing In your ealeulatlon of the chronology of Communist Infiltration a t Antloeh College. And who . . . Banker Stewart . . . was the member of the Antioch College Board of Trustees who . . . leas than four years ago . . , submitted to the Antioch College Adminis­ trative Council a lengthy "recommendation’’ which listed at least five (5) groups of "security risks" at Antloeh College . . . less than four years ago? If your version doesn’t agree with ours . . . we’ll print both of them. We have more . , , much more information on the An­ tioch College situation . . . Banker Stewart . . . end . . . we’ll get it into print if we have to rent a mimeograph machine 1 -We are about to reach the definite conclusion that you have made the mistake of playing a bad hand thru to a showdown. Poker players tell us that is never a good idea. Jost in case anyone connected with our Antloeh College problem has forgotten . . . we point out that Alger Him went to the pen for perjury. Congressional committees may or may not Investigate educational institutions but , . . the light* of truth will be thrown still further on Antioch College^' ’ Your reply . . , Banker Stewart . . . Is awaited with great Interest. Yours truly, THE EDITOR JAMESTOWN JOTTINGS: . . .

MOWN M a h i •* Ca m w . Ttfc O tto UM rirt After two clays of debate, the House last Thursday passed and sent to the Senate the Defense Department Appropriation Bill to meet the money needs of the nation's military program in the new fiscal year beginning July 1st next. The measure carried total appropriations of S23,680,706,500, which was $1,206,348,500 less than the budget request, and a little more than $5.5 billion less than military appropriations for the present fiscal year. However, the armed services have an esti­ mated $48 billion left over from previous appropriations, which, when added to the new ones, will make $76,874,000,000 available for Defense Department spending in the new fiscal year. Of the total appropriations carried in the bill, the Army will get $7.6 billion; the Navy, $9.7 billion; the Marine Corps, $612 million, and the Air Force, $10.8 billion. o o o Most Washington observers believe the danger of direct American involvement in the fighting in Indo-China has somewhat receded In the Iasi, two weeks, probably because a great majority of Representatives and Senators have expressed their opposition to sending Americans (eapee- lolly ground troops) into that conflict, The reluctance of Great Britain. *Australia, the Philippines, and other countries greatly Interested In the Far East, to become Involved in the Indo-China war haa also been o deterrent to any positive action by the United States, However, the situation in tlic Far East is so critical anything can and may happen- o o o Tho Geneva Conference started on schedule the-flrst of last week, but under a cloud of uncertainty. Most observers doubt any world problems will be settled, or a permanent peace attained for Korea or • Indo-China at Gcnevn—despite the efforts being made, However, both the French and British are very desirous of bringing an end to the fighting hi Indo-China, and may force the United States to agree to some sort of a partition of that war-ridden country. o o o The formal White House Reception by President and Mrs. Eisen­ hower for Members of Congress was held Tuesday night of last week, with a great portion of the membership of the Legislative Branch, and their ladies, in attendance. The Congressional Reception had pre­ viously been scheduled for the night of March 2nd, but was postponed at that time because of the Puerto Rican shooting affray in the House the day before. o o o The United State Chamber or Commerce held its annual meeting in Washington last week. The Ohio State Chamber, which had a large delegation in attendance, gave a reception on Tuesday night of last Week for the Ohio Congressional delegation, and later various local Ohio Chambers gave dinner parties in honor of their own Repres* sentatives and their wives. o o o 1 «.„ in the Ohio American Legion annual essay contest weir vl.ltora in Washington last week.

Many experts are predicting the readjustment from a war-time econ­ omy to a pi'ace-tlmo economy is pretty well over, eltho none expect any liusinc.v, boom to develop in the foreseeable future, Earnings of 150 l,s >8 American corporations during the first quarter of 1164 aver­ age -12 per cent lower than for the same period of 1161. On the other hand, hous'ng starts and building construction have developed this Spring at a higher rate than originally predicted. o o' a Last week the Senate, by a vote of 46-40, rejected a "rider" amend­ ment to the Wool Bill to extend present rigid farm price supports at 96 percent of parity for one year. Later, the Wool BID, which would establish production payments for wool, with the Government paying domestic producers the difference between the average market price and the support level, was approved by the Senate. ■ O', O' O ' ’ The United states Senate now haa its' second lady member, in the person of Mrs. Eve Bowring, a ranch operator and RepubHcan recently appointed by the Governor of Nebraska to fin the vacancy caused by the death of Nebraska's Senator, Dwight Giasweid., Phone 4 - 90^ Jamestown, Ohio 4 RALPH SHUPE .......................
