ShOlU Little Interest
In Wheat Quota Vote

Apathy of farmers in this district
toward the nationwide wheat refer
endum was reflected here last Satur-
day when only 20 farmers turned
out to vote in balloting at the Rich
land Grange hall.
Tabulation of the unusually light
township vote showed seven farmers
in favor of continuing the govern
ment controlled wheat growing pro-
gram, with five opposed to the pro-
posal. Eight votes were challenged,
and a check will be made of the
farms this week to determine if the
ballots are to be counted.
Nationwide balloting, with three
fourths of the votes counted, indi-
Gated continuance of the marketing
control had been approved By wide
margin. Initial tabulation of the
national vote showed 174,913 favor
marketing quotas with only 56,745
opposed.
Ohio farmers gave the quotas a
SIG per cent favorable vote, which
is short of the 65 per cent majority
needed for approval.
With the referendum conducted on
a national basis, however, the favor
able vote in other states will repre-
sent a sufficiently large majority to
assure continuance of the control
program.
In Orange township the vote was
tied at 8-8, with 10 votes challenged.
Union township had eight in favor
of the proposal, Is opposed, and two
votes were challenged.
To be eligible for voting, farmers
must have raised Is or more acres
of wheat last year.

War In Europe Still Largely Psychopathic

UNDATED, May II (AP) In Europe, the war still lay largely in the psycho- logical realm of nerves, fears, expectations, and threats. The Russian front is still quiescent compared with the fury that prevail ed in the German offensive last summer and the Rus sian counter offensive of the winter months. Winter is having a final fling in the northern and central sec tors, while the world wait ed for fury to break anew either there or at some oth- CT potential battle zone in Europe.
 The Russians in advance have given point to Church ills threat of retaliatory gas warfare on behalf of the Soviet Union, report ing officially Saturday that the Germans are testing a new gas technique on the .Crimean front, using small mines to dispel the disabl- ing Vapor.
 The German command, admitting localized attacks yesterday on the Russian front, but declared the Red army thrusts either collaps ed or were repulsed, claim ed for their air force a 271 score of planes doWned on the far northern front and listing 20 British Hurrican es among the Russian s losses.
