Estimating that 200 1000 900 bushels
of feed grain will be required in the
North Atlantic States up to Sep
tember /, 1914, the War Food Ad-
ministration announced last night
that 100000 bushels of this
amount will have been shipped into
the area over the Great Lakes by
the close Of navigation in December
Since July the Government has
purchased 100000 bushels of
Canadian wheat, VIA said. though
not all this amount has been moved
into the East, where there is a
severe shortage of livestock feed.
The House Ways and Means CON-
mittee yesterday approved legisla-
ton which would remove tariff du-
ties for 80 days on the importation
OF oats, rye. barley, rye cottonseed
meal, fax and hay. The measure is
designed to encourage the flow of
livestock feed to areas of short
supply.
VIA said approximately one
hundred million bushels of feed
grains will have to be shipped East
by rail through next September
Some shipments already are under
way, the agency said. o.. During the
first two weeks of November. about
two million bushels of corn were
shipped into the area. The VIA
makes payments of cents a bushel
to offset the difference in prices in
surplus and shortage areas.
Meanwhile. reports that the OPA
was considering an increase in the
ceiling price Of corn were secuted
by sources close to Economic Sta
bilization Director Fred M. Vinson
Price support loans ranging from
81 to 81 cents a bushel to Midwest
corn belt farmers on grown

VIA. Last years rates were 70 to
80 cents a bushel. Outside the corn
belt, the loan rates range from 81
to sl0l a bushel, compared with
1912 rates of 81 to "a cents. The
rates generally are IS per cent OF
the corn parity price. VIA said.

Judge Weighs Decision
In Hazing Death Case
Py the Associated Press.

Py the Associated Press.
APPLETON, Wis, Nov. 27.-Judge
Fred V. Heinemann, sitting in Ju-
venile Court, yesterday took under
consideration testimony which Off
cially revealed details of a hazing
incident that preceded by month
the death of a 15-year-old Appleton
boy.
The open hearing was ordered at
the request of the boys father, Earl
Rogers, who charged two Appleton
youths, Is and IT, had taken i'm
proper liberties with his son Wayne
and had assaulted him on Septem-
Der T.
Parents of the accused youths
asked that the hearing be made
open so that many stories and
rumors be cleared up.
Judge Heinemann took the case
under advisement after DR.. Edward
Mielke, who said he was the Rogers
physician, testified that application
OF wintergreen to shaven portions
OF young Wayne's body could have
had no connection with the acute
nephritis listed as cause of death.
Previously the accused boys ad-
mitted taking part in the hazing
but testified the practice was ira
ditional and the victim himself had
co-operated.

lSheII-Shoek Victims
kept as Near Front
Lines as Possible
By the Associated Press.

oS JHc ASSOClALSu FItSS.
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, Al
giers, Nov. 27-Troops in the Med
iterranean war zone are being kept
as near the front lines as possible
sometimes only or 7 miles back
for treatment of combat fatigue"
This was disclosed at . press con-
ference yesterday by 1t. Gen. Sir
Alexander Hood, director general
of the British Armys medical serv-
ices, who pointed out it was in
marked contrast with the practice
in the World War of rushing shell
shock" victims as far from the
sound of the guns as possible.
Gen. Hood explained that COM
bat fatigue" and shell shock" are
one and the same general ailment.
The new method, he said, has
proved very definitely more effec-
tive.
wherever possible, we now seek
to prevent evacuation of its victims
outside the combat area" he ex-
planned. with most cases, we give
them plenty of sleep, food, rest and
baths, and within As days most of
them are fit and ready to return to
the fight"
Gen. Hood declared his recent in
spection in Italy had convinced him
that mo armies in all history have
ever had better medical arrange
ments than the 5th and 9th Armies. "
Lives of thousands of men, who
would have died under conditions of
previous wars, are being saved
largely through these five new
factors, he said:
The presence of well-equipped
hospitals near the battle field, blood
plasma transfusions which curb
shock and enable seriously wounded
men to reach hospitals alive, the
sulphanamide group of compounds,
which have been "eminently sue
cessful" in combating Infection
evacuation by air of some $4,000
wounded personnel from battle
areas Of the Mediterranean zone in
the last year, and plaster fixation,' -
first used by the Russians in the
Crimean war but never fully called
on until recent years, for permitting
removal to the rear of soldiers suf-
ferlng from severe fractures.

Sheriff Sees Robbery
As Possible Motive
In Mccoy Staying
BY the Associated Presx.

.! the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Ohio, Nov. 27.-Sheriff w. H. Icen-
hover, after fruitless initial search
Tor man he termed a suspect, said
today, I'VE are no nearer a solution
to the Mccoy slayings than we were
five minutes after their bodies were
found-We Are still hunting for four
men for questioning"
This community of 10000 paused
meanwhile for single funeral serv-
ices for the slain family Of three,
Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer Mccoy and
their pretty 22-year-old daughter,
Mildred, shot down in the dark by
the stealthy killer-or killers
Thanksgiving eve at their nearby
farm home.
Icenhower and Jesse Ellis, acting
police chief of Washington Court
House, late Friday left the city in
search of one of four men reported
to have been engaged, at one time
or another, in alterations with Nc
Coy. The sheriff did not disclose
where they went but said the hunt
was unsuccessful.
Two Theories Advanced.
Officials advanced two fresh theo-
ries in the triple Staying:
Prosecutor John B. Hill said two
killers might have participated in
the battling tragedy, one shooting
the 59-year-old raiser of Poland
China hogs and his auburn haired
daughter. the other cutting down
Mrs. Mccoy, 81, as she stepped from
the house to a screened porch. Mr.
Hill expressed belief that revenge
on Mccoy probably motivated the
killers.
The sheriff said, however, he con-
sidered the possibility that the kill
ers originally planned only to Rob
Mccoy, who was known to keep
several hundreds of dollars at his
home from time to time" but after
shooting him killed the mother and
daughter to avoid detection.
Mr.. Hill turned to the twin-assas-
sin theory after exploiting the posi-
tion of the bodies. He said:
1T is possible that one man killed
the father in the barn and then the
girl by the automobile. Both were
shot once by .38-caliber revolver.
Revenge" Motive Likely.
"The mother might have heard
the shot that killed her daughter
just 60 feet away and came out on
the screened-in porch to investigate,
still holding a dishcloth and dish in
her hands, and a second man, who
was crouched on the porch, fired at
her and missed, and then hit her
with the next shot and she fell Then |
he fired into her body at least six |
more bullets, some of them .32s with !
steel jackets from an automatic |
and the others .38 lead slugs. Then
they cut the telephone lines and
got away"
No dummy-or dummies-did !
this the prosecutor added. The
plan was too well thought out and
executed. The killer must have been
well known to the McCoys to have
got close enough to the father and |
daughter to shoot them so that pow
Ger burns were caused. The McCoys
must have trusted the killer, or
killers, up to the last minute"
He said he still felt revenge" was
the likely motive, but that a check
of all jealousies and romances left |
us nothing and we're at sea-" |

rant for the arrest of Leroy Cough
on a murder charge in connection
with the death yesterday of the Rev.
Noel j. Allen. Enonville, Baptist
and Wild-life conservation
list, was sworn out this morning,
commemorative Attorney A. l..
Pitts, jr, said.
Cough is clerk in store at
Sprouses Corners.
The 74-year-old minister, known
by some as the Billy Sunday of
Wlldllfe conservation. died at his
home to which he had been brought
from the hospital in Farmville.
Death Laid to Fight.
A coroners verdict, reported last
night to the commemorative attor-
ney, concluded that the death of the

An autopsy was performed yester-
day by Dr.. Garland T. Dyches,
coroner, and Dr. T. S. Hardy of the
Soutnside Hospital in Farmville.

nected with the Virginia State CON-
mission of Game and Inland
Fisheries. He had held pastorates in

pretend to deny have Intentionally
killed some dogs" but he did deny

Minority Report Hold,
AntipoII Tax Bill
Hampers War Effort
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Five members of the Senate
Judiciary Committee signed a
minority report today contend
ing that the antipoll tax bill is
unconstitutional and that its
consideration now would tend to
delay the war effort.
I'VE believe that Congress is with
out power to enact the proposed
legislation" declared Senators Hatch
Of New Mexico, Andrews of Florida,
OMahoney of Wyoming and Con-
nally of Texas, Democrats, and
Austin. Republican, of Vermont.
Senator Revercomb, Republican. Of
West Virginia, who likewise voted
against the bill in committee, was
out of the city. The committee has
reported the bill favorably.
Approved by the House last May,
the bill, which would eliminate pay
ment of poll tax as a prerequisite
for voting in elections for Federal
officials, faces a certain filibuster
when it is called up in the Senate
Shy Of votes to defeat it, but claim
ing enough strength to prevent cur
tailment of debate, it's opponents
seem confident they can talk it to
death, as they did with a similar
measure last year
1--WE believe that the Congress
should devote its energies to the
enactment of legislation dealing with
the many problems arising out of
the war emergency, and that the
attention of the whole country, now
devoted to the war effort, should not
be distracted by an issue such as
this the minority report said.
The Senate got a preview yester-
day of the promised flibuster when
Senator Bilbo, Democrat, of Missis-
sippi arose unexpectedly to read into
the Record Republicans denun-
citation of the measure.
Senator Bilbo, who has threatened
to filibuster until January, 1945. if
necessary to defeat the measure, de-
scribed the letter as an "eye-opener.
The letter, which Senator Bilbo
said was written by Perry w. How
ard. colored Republican national
committeeman from Mississippi, as
serted that the bill as drawn is
not worth the paper it is written on
as far as it guarantees the colored
man a vote in the South" It went
on to say that colored person could
have paid his poll tax for 40 years
but still might not be allowed to
register, because of educational and
other qualifications set up by the
States.
