Republicans Please
Note: Election Is In
The Bag, Right Now

It's in the bag. The election is
practically settled right now, ac-
cording to Al Mccoy, Kennewickis
candidate for congress from this
district, opposing Hal Holmes, re-
publican incumbent.
Mccoy says that Roosevelt and
practically the entire democratic
state ticket will undoubtedly be
elected next Tuesday, including
Mr.. Mccoy. This in spite of the
handicaps which have been placed
in his way by unfeeling repub-
licans, who don't give him a fair
break in the newspapers, etc. Even
the telephone company is work
ing against him, as he cannot get
a phone put in his residence while
others apparently have no trouble.
Even with his uphill campaign,
being compelled to use borrowed
car and everything, a private poll
indicates that even staid old re-
publican Kennewick proper has
seen the brilliant light and is now
6O% democrat and strong for
Roosevelt Mr.. Mccoy conf
dentially reports to this paper.

Red Cross Needs
Many More
Volunteers
Two new classes to be
started at Richland
for war work

Swinging into the fall season
with a will, the Richland Chapter
of the American Red Cross is in
augurating two new classes and
sending out a call for more VOL
unteers. A new staff assistants
class will start on Nov. 6, it was
announced. This class trains work.
ers for volunteer office service,
tipping, filing, stenography, book
keeping and registration work. In
terpreting, translating and work.
ing with public committees are
also duties performed by these
volunteers, as well as working at
information desks and switch
boards in chapter houses. Those
Richland. women interested in this
work are invited to join the class.
Others who have already taken the
course and wish to transfer to
the local chapter and be active
are asked to register here.
Day and evening classes in First
Aid training will be organized as
soon as enough registrations are
received, according to Mrs. r. G..

community, it has resulted in the
elimination of many accidents.

Richland chapter is the class for
Nurses Aides. Among those TAX

Settles So
Land Cases
Agreements Based =.
on reappraisals Of
property at Hartford

Settlement of So Hanford land
cases with compensation of $3.50
900 to landowners was announced
Tuesday at Yakima by Frank B.
Reid, attorney for the lands div
ision of the United States depart
ment of justice. 49,
The settlements were made on
the basis of revaluations and re-
appraisals recently authorized by
Federal Judge Lewis B. Schwel-
lenbach in Spokane. ReappraiSal
was asked by Norman Lytell, as
sistant United States attorney
general.
Of the 485 tracts on which COM
pensation remains to be fixed,
Reid said he does not expect that
more than three or four sets of
cases will have to be handled in
court. In recent weeks Is land
owners represented by Charles
Powell of Kennewick have set
tied negotiations with the lands
division and the war department.
Reappraisal Under Way
Under the new order, author
lied by Judge SchWellenbach on
Lytell's petition, the lands division
may negotiate with land owners
and reach settlements without the
approval of the war department.
This accounts for the speed with
which Reid was able to handle set
Elements.
Appraisers appointed by the
lands division office to handle the
revaluations of property in the
area are EFF. Raymon of Washing
ton, D. c., assistant attorney gen.
eral; c. Marc Miller of Seattle,
formerly of White Bluffs; E. j.
Flanagan of Brownstown; Archie
Prior, Francis Fassett and J. H.
Ardinger of Yakima, and Frank p.
Lenzie of Spokane. They have
reappraised 100 tracts. !.
Largest compensation allowed a
landowner, $4,000, went to Pat
Clark, who owned four tracts in
the Hanford area. Of this amount,
he was allowed $35, 1000 for his 1943
crop. Second largest compensa-
ton was So, 500 to John Erickson,
who owned three tracts compris-
ing so acres in the Richland area.
Many Cases Discussed
Reid and Roy Brown discussed
with attorneys yesterday 81 tracts
of land. They expect. to be able
to reach agreements on most of
the "a tracts which were not set
tied. recently. Attorneys and the
number of tracts on which they
negotiated were Lloyd Wiehl, dis
cussed 80, settled "a; Charles
Powell discussed 33, settled %;
Frank Funkhauser of Spokane, dis
cussed II, settled four; B. E. Nc
Gregor, discussed one, settled one;
and c. w. Halvorson discussed one,
settled one.
In Lytell's petition for reap
praisals, he pointed out that up to
October 26, settlements had been
reached on 618 tracts by negotia-
ton and n cases had been settled
by jury verdicts. Of the tracts
remaining to be settled, so are
agricultural tracts on which the
owners are represented by counsel,
rs are productive tracts whose
owners have not hired attorneys
and $50 tracts are non-productive
