SEES TRADE ACT
AS PEACE WEAPON

Toledo, o. - Sumner Welles,
Undersecretary of State, declar-
ed this week that reputation of
the trade agreements act in Con-
gress would strike "a heavy
blow" at hopes for an everlasting
end to war.
IF the United States repudiates
the trade agreements act, either
outright or by Gripping amend
ments, if it thus repudiates the
idea of economic nonagression, it
will have destroyed the stuff of
which peace is made, it will have
struck a heavy blow at the hopes
of mankind for Kidding this world
of the scourge Of war and for
creating a just, workable and a
lasting peace" he told a forum
on peace problems.

LIVING COST DRIVE

cut the cost of things Americans
eat and use got underway this
week, and officials predicted that
all cost-of-living items will be
rolled back to their Sept, Is,
1912, price levels by July l.
The first step, to be followed
by others at regular intervals, is
an order which affects some 20
food items in approximately 100
cities with total population of
nearly 45,O00,OO0.
It sets communicated dollars
and cents ceilings in the smaller
independent stores, effective on
poultry, fluid milk, bread, eggs,
butter, soap, packaged cheese,
sugar, cereals, evaporated and
condensed milk, coffee, macaro-
nj, noodles, shortening, cooking
and salad oils, flour and a num-
Der of other items, including can
ned fruits and vegetables, will be
added to the list.

Testifying before the House
Military Affairs Committee in
opposition to the Austin-Wads-
worth compulsory service bill, he
did not present that specific fl
cure but said it could be arrived
at by simple mathematics" mas
much as the 943 goals and the
monthly induction rates are both
known.
He said the years objective is
a force of 100000 men and the
monthly pace of induction is 3OO,-
600. By subtracting 100000 for
the eight months left in 1943, the
current total of 100000 is OBJ

Induction OF Fathers Can Be
Expected By Early August

Washington - Selective service
issued instructions whereby IA
theirs in the 35 listed essential in
dustries can be given preferable
deferment treatment when induc-
ton of men with children starts,
foreshadowing that the ban
against induction of fathers soon
will be dropped.
The instructions are not man.
datory, as draft boards are allow
ed to use a large amount of dis
erection in applying most regula-
tons.
Earlier, Selective Service Di-
rector Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Her
shey had notified the senate that
general induction of fathers was
likely in August, eff not sooner"
Under the new instructions to
local draft boards, care will be
taken to keep fathers working in
essential occupations out of the
armed forces until after fathers
working in less essential jobs had
been indicted. In other words,
the program will protect essen
tial men against early induction
after the ban on drafting of ia
theirs has been removed and de-
tendency virtually eliminated as
deferment ground.
Hershey voiced opposition in a
letter to the senate military af-
fairs subcommittee against legis-
lation by Sen. Wheeler 3D.,
Mont,) to forbid fatty the induc-
ton of fathers. He warned that
such action might imperil filling
of quotas for the armed forces,
in view of the imminent induc-
ton of this group.
Similar protest was expressed

Joe F. Neal, agent for the Occi-

In recalling the founding of the

out that at the time when his
father lost his health, he carried
adequate insurance, but that it
only paid on permanent disabili-
ty, leaving him without an in

For this reason, Mr.. Frank Neal
saw the advantage of insurance
that would pay its policyholders

then that he discovered such SER

He became so enthused over the
services this company offered,
that in the year or 1881 he led
