MOWN i e on Some seventy-five county legislative representative* and other offi­ cials of the Ohio Farm Bureau visited various Members of the Buckeye delegation to Congress last week, and entertained them at early breakfast on Thursday. Information was furnished to the national legislators as to the views of the Ohio Farm Bureau members on various bills now pend­ ing before the Congress, • » %• • The House last week approved and sent to the Senate a bill authoriz­ ing the Federal Oovemment, through the Department of Agriculture, to help finance watershed developments for flood control and soli conser­ vation purposes. The billcarried no funds, but simply authorized future appropriation of whatever funds Congress may later determine necessary for this purpose. Because of growing concern over the situation in Indo-Chlna, Presi­ dent Elsenhower, In recent statements, has .made it clear that he will pot put this country Into another war — such as In the case of President Truman's Korean "police action” — without a formal declaration of war by congress. However, should the United States be attacked, American forces will be ordered to retaliate promptly against the aggressor. r • * • * • The House last week unanimously passed a bill to legally change the name of Armistice Day to Veterans' Day. If the legislation Is approved by the Senate, us expected, henceforth November 11th will be a national holiday set aside for the purpose of paying honor and tribute to the veterans of all wars in which tlie United States lias engaged.

Next, Paint Up Clean Up Grab that paint brush) But be. fore you start slapping paint on the exterior of your house, con­ sider some new facts that have come to light. The National Lumber Manufac­ turers Association warns the home handyman that painting house ex­ teriors too' frequently may Increase paint failures, Under normal conditions and as­ suming that the surface is already covered with good quality paint, chances arc you won't need to repaint a house with wood siding mere often than once every four to six years; You aren't helping your house if you repaint more frequently. In root. you may be hurting it. Here's why, according to the lumberman's association: Quality paints weather away slowly, They give their best service When the coating is about five- thousandths of an inch—-not much thicker than our paper money. As a rule, repainting^ more often than, once every four to six years will build up an unnecessary and trou­ blesome thickness of paint which may crack and peel, requiring costly removal of the entire paint film. Point chemists and wood tech­ nologists who conducted a 15-year study of the problem of paint fail­ ures at the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory in Madison, Wise., sug­ gest a two-coat repaint Job every | six years or one coat every four < years—but no more frequently. Two coats every six years are gen­ erally preferred. . However, the first painting of newly erected houses, particular' ly when done with only two coats, is often scanty and may wear away to the point where it will be safe to repaint in less than the normal length of time. Of course, not all paint crack­ ing and peeling is due to over­ painting, Mtolsture is one of Lire most frequent causes. Inferior paints offer poor resistance to moisture, so ROVIN' U fa fA > /, 76 cess by the sponsoring committee. A transcribed portion of the meet­ ing was broadcast on WRFD on Friday.

Shupe Editor and Publisher Cedarvllle, Ohio Dear Mr. Shupe: Your recent, courageous article and open letter regarding the visit of Dr. Linus Carl Pauling to Antioch College should arouse the admira­ tion and support of every citizen who loves his country and desires to sec her remain freq. Since America's heritage includes the labors of founding fathers who loved God and His Wcrd, Uie at­ tempt by any group to deny Hls ex­ istence either in word or by practice should be met with staunch resis­ tance by every patriot. To strike at the Founder is to demolish the foundation.

B u t. . , there is still much that is good in the Antioch tradition and in the Antioch system. A drastic operation must be performed if the "patient" is to survive. The wholehearted cooperation and assistance of the loyal Americans in this area will be vitally important in the perfgrmance of'the "operation.” To be most effec­ tive . . . the clean-up at Antioch must be done in a thorough . . . orderly aiid absolutely legal manner. There must be no hysteria . . .'but n firm and unwavering demand that: the menace ut Ant\och College be thoroughly and completly investigated . . . and removed. , When that job is done , . . let’s all join in the rebuilding of Antioch College. Let’s see to it that the "operation" is sucehsful and . . . furthermore . , . that the "patient" survives, » —Q■— All of which naturally brings us to "Subversive Slayer" No. 1 . . . Joe McCarthy. The Reds and their buddies in high places have too long succeeded in knocking off those who have, proved effective against them. Martin Dies is a good example, If the Communists and fellow-travelers can defeat a fighter like Joe McCarthy, they can safely figure on smoother sledding in the future. If they can lick Mc­ Carthy . , . who’ll dare take them on? — O — If this McCarthy—-anti—McCarthyite scrap were not so deadly serious . . . it would be downright entertaining. The spectacle of Senator Joe taking on all comers and knock­ ing them on their figurative haunches is both encouraging and inspiring. The guy’s really got something. And no one has ever trptted out this “innocent” character who has been “persecuted” and “unfairly injured” by McCarthy. Why is he kept in hiding . . . if he exists? — O — Obviously . . , McCarthy is getting mighty close to some people who simply can’t afford to have the truth told about them,. These Communist in government . , . in schools .. . and elsewhere have, enjoyed political . . . social financial , . . and dilottante felow-iraveler connec- !mako sure you use a quality pro-! ^toiis in very high and prominent circles. There is an air of j duct;> desperation about the lastest attacks on Joe McCarthy when moisture blisters occur, ail which indicates that these prominent connections are liter­ ally shivering in ther shoes. Be that as it may. There is one most important factor apparently overlooked by the motley crew of Communists . . . fellow—travelers . . . parlor pinks . , , dupes and dumbbells who are fighting McCarthy and other enemies of Communism. This is it : The boys who are being drafted into the Armed Services are not being drafted to fight the Hottentots or Hindu­ stani. We have but one enemy—The Communists. The mother and fathers of this nation know that; the draftees know that, Neither the worried mothers and fathers nor the draftees are going to forget it. And . . . the parents of the United States are not going to stand by and allow Communist and fellow-traveling vermin to do their spying and spreading their anti- American poison here at home While their sons drill and edges of the paint around each blister should be sanded.
