FRANCE FOR FRENCH

The REIMBURSEMENT Of military
controls in most of liberated
France is expected in the fairly
near future.
American officials - including
military officials-are ready now
to get down to brass tacks on this
problem. There seems little rea-
son why most of France, including
Paris, should not be turned over
to French civilian control.
However, General De Gaulle is
not so ready to open things up

FARM OUTLOOK

Agriculture department experts
foresee surpluses in some farm
commodities after the war ends
and agricultural lands in liberated
nations are put into production.
They believe this may be the
postwar farm program:
Resumption of the agricultu1 al
adjustment agency plan to control
production of basic commodities
including cotton, corn, wheat and
tobacco; continued price supports
and commodity loans.
These overall activities may be
supplemented by programs to de.
velop new uses for farm products
to obtain new markets and PRO.
mote exports.

WASHINGTON, Sept. TO- Up -
How much additional gasoline mo-
torists will get following defeat of
Germany is tied to the outcome of
a controversy between government
agencies.
The Office of Price Administra-
ton is standing by a policy of
rationing every gallon of gasoline
as soon as it becomes available.
The Office of Defense Transpor-
tation, on the other hand, is con-
cerned lest a substantial increase
in rations speed the rate at which
automobiles are going to the scrap
pile.
The, key to outcome of the de.
bate is likely to be the date afier
We day that new cars roll again
from assembly lines.
If production is resumed within
30 or 40 days after the fall IF
Germany, as has been predicted,

be freer with gasoline.

Southern White Woman
Urges Participation In
Politics By Negroes
By DORIS HOLLIS

DALLAS, Sept. 2.-(ANP)-|
"Why aren't any Negro delegates
here?" Mrs. Dallas Scarborough,
Abilene, Tex, asked me at the
State Democratic convention here.
"There should be Negro delegates
l am in favor of it. In our
county (Taylor) we let them vote.
81 think Negroes should gear
themselves and integrate into poll
tics in the SOUTH" the comely we'll
dressed West Texan commented.
"The south is becoming liberal
lied. Although it may seem slow
l can see it.
"I should like to urge that Ne
groes choose their leaders for their
ability and not choose them just
because they are prominent, nor
just because they have money. Abil-
ity should always be foremost in
getting things done.
II think Negroes should strive
diligently to improve their educa-
tional, cultural and economic status.
In our county we are helping them
with their educational and economic
problems"
Mrs. Scarborough seemed sur
prised that the reporter, only Negro
at the convention and the first
Negro in the history of Texas to
attend State Democratic conven-
ton, was not a northerner and had
not attended northern school.

division left here not long ago.
There were those who thought
that perhaps Ft. Huachuca would
be retained as a sort of permanent
headquarters for Negro troops.
These felt that at least the station
hospital which was the pride of
the post and whose staff personnel
rill call sounded like a Who's Who
in Negro medicine, would remain.
There was talk that, located in
Arizona, an area beneficial to lungs,
that it might become one of the
hospitals to which returning vet
Grams might be sent. This theory
gained credence when Station Hos
pital No. /, which was commanded
by Col. indian o. Bousfeld, was
combined with Station Hospital No.
2 and upgraded into regional hos
pital. The only fly in that ointment
was that Col. Maynard, white, in
charge of Hospital No. 2, was put
in charge. Col. Bousfeld had built
up No. / and not even the fact that
Col. Maynard was an old army
doctor served to soften the shuttle
when Bousfeld was left without
any especial executive assignment
Another reason for assuming
The daily bulletin. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1942-1946, 1944-09-22

that the Ft. Huachuca hospital
would remain intact was that an
air conditioning system was in
stalled only two or three weeks
ago and battleship linoleum which
had lain around for weeks waiting
to see what the future held, was
ordered lain.
Part of the 92d division of course
has previously been reported in

Judge Campbell Dies;
Upheld hRA Validity

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Marcus
B. Campbell, n, senior Federal
judge of the Eastern District OF
New York, who upheld the Gov
ernment in the famous sick
chicken" case during the fight over
validity of the National Recovery
Act, died at his home in Brooklyn
today after an illness of two months.
Judge Campbell, a member of the
bar since 1891, was named to the
Federal bench by President Hard
ing in 1923.
His decision in the "sick chicken"
case upheld the National Indus
trial Recovery Act, an early ex-
pertinent of the New Deal, but the
United States Supreme Court later
reversed him, declaring the act un-
constitutional.
Other noted cases which Judge
Campbell heard included the So
called Christian front case, when
l3 defendants were accused of con-
spiracy to overthrow the Govern
ment; the roundup of the German
spy ring in 1941. and the prosecu-
tion of unregistered japanese
propagandiStS in 1912.
