To Anxious Mother. We have forwarded your request for information to the First Army Corps Com mand for official explanation of your query. In the meanwhile it is opinion that you received pos thumOus award of Purple Heart on presumption that your son missing in action for fifteen months must be presumed "lxIed in actOn". There is apparently no record of his detention in prison camp and the Nazis haven't informed the government of having con- taCted your son. dead alive. Fifteen months is a long time to wait expectantly for word of cheer or some definite information as to your boys fate, but Uncle Sam has his routine to follow and usually does regardless of parental anxiety or pressure.

 As Fibber McGee and Molly's once a-week maid, Beulah has a vast fan following that is nevertheless, wide ly confused both as to her sex and color.
 As many know, Beulah's creator is Marlin Hurt, who-instead of being female. colored and man chasing = is thoroughly male, white and an 80 golfer.
 Hurt started his radio career as a singer on a St. Louis station. Un- til 1943, he was Dick of the NEG trio, Tom, Dick and Harry.
 But he had never wanted to be a singer, Ever since his childhood days backstage at the theater his father managed in Du Quoin, H., he was determined to be an actor. Since Du Quoin had large colored population, 1t was only natural that he should use negro dialect in his mimicry.
 It wasn't until he had been in radio 10 years, however, that Hurt got chance to introduce Beulab to a microphone That was in 1940 on NBC's "Showboat" pro- gram, which then featured Tom, Dick and Harry. When Tom of the trio died, Marlin decided to foresake singing for acting, which of course meant Beulah. who clicked for the first time with Fibber McGee & Molly.

Ho-hum. Avery Slapped
Down Again

WASHINGTON (LPA) = By
the time Sewell Avery, Mont
gomery-Ward satrap, gets
through fighting his workers IN
the courts, the cost of litigation
will have far exceeded any pay
raise his employees might obtain
from WLB, union leaders here
have estimated.
Avery has fought organization
of the NV workers in courts
from Texas to Washington and
has been slapped down in every
case. The latest rebuff came last
week from the U. S. Supreme
Court. Avery had appealed to
the nations highest legal tribu-
nal to upset Circuit Court de-
cision which held that War La
Dor Board orders are not review
able in the courts. The Supreme
Courts action is expected to
throw out many of the injunc-
ton suits pending all over the
country.

Coffee Prices S+oy Put

WASHINGTON, November 20
(LPA)-You won't have to pay
any more for your coffee in COM
ing months, thanks to OPA's in
sistence that coffee bean prices
not be increased.
Coffee importers, backed, it is
believed by food spokesmen
here, by South American planta-
ton owners, have tried to black
mail OPA into raising prices.
They wanted more money for
the coffee beans. OPA insisted
that the price ceiling not be rails
ed, and said they would ration
coffee if the producers refused
to ship the commodity at present
prices. After a series of confer
ences, OPA, War Food Admin
istration and the Inter-American
Coffee Board have announced
agreement, on OPA's terms.

Ohio Hos Old Game Law

The game possession law is OF
long standing in Ohio. In recent
years the establishment of cold
storage lockers in almost every
community has brought about a
sensible possession regulation.
Law Enforcement Chief Lester
Bailey of the Division Of Conser-
walton points out that the posses
sion limit on all kinds of game is
the maximum legal possession
limit for each hunters license.
For example, four cock pheas-
ants are all that may be held at
one time for as long as desired.
The Cold Storage Locker Asso-
citation, anxious to comply with
FL laws, will appreciate care on
rne part Of locker users in not
making illegal storage of game.

PR Allotment SmoIIer

The apportionment of $780,
500 among the States for the
restoration and development of
their wildlife resources during
1945, under the terms of the
Pittman-Robertson Act, is the
smallest since the Act became
effective in 1888. Ohio's allot-
ment is S33, ,099.96.
These funds are derived from
excise taxes on guns and ammu-
milton collected by the Federal
government, and reassigned to
the State in proportion to
licenses issued, area and other
requirements, such as matching
the funds with 25 per cent of
State funds. The refunds are
practically the return for con-
Servation use, of the tax money
paid in the States themselves.
