Sgt. E. A. Mcconnell
Given Bronze Star

Sgt. Eugene A. Mcconnell has been
awarded the Bronze Star medal fol-
meritorious achievement in. connec-
tion with military operations against
the enemy on Okinawa.
The citation reads: Sergeant Eu-
gene A. Mcconnell, 34,435, ,539, In
fantry, United States Army. For
heroic service in connection with
military operations against the en-
emy On Okinawa Island on 5 April,
1945. Sergeant (then Private, First
Class) Mcconnell, gunner of sixty
millimeter squad, was the decisive
figure in the capture of a line of
enemy Notifications near the town
of Ginowan. When fire orders be-
came indistinct through the roar of
battle, Sergeant Mcconnell fearlessly
and courageously moved his mortar
to an exposed position from which
he could observe his own shell bursts.
His outstanding courage under rak-
ing enemy fire and his persistence
in continuing his fire missions until
the enemy defenses were neutralized.
He was directly responsible for his
platoon's success and enabled aid
men to evacuate five casualties safe
ly. The heroism and courageous ac-
tion demonstrated by Sergeant Nc
Connell are in keeping with the
highest traditions Of the military
service"

CROP SUBSIDY
PLAN MAY BE
CHANGED SOON

Washington, Nov. pa sharp re.
vision in government farm price pol
icies after the postwar adjustment
period appears to be shaping up as
a goal of the Truman administration
That revision would take the form
of lower price guarantees for some
crops-particularly those which now
can be produced much more cheaply
through use of mechanical methods.
It also might result in somewhat
higher prices for those requiring a
high degree of labor.
Commodities which would be re-
duced in price include cotton and
wheat, two major export crops. Un-
der present government price laws,
these commodities are too high for a
world market amply supplied By
other producing countries. Even
now, the United States is employing
subsidies to permit its cotton and
wheat flour to compete in the ex-
port market.
The export subsidy is four cents
a pound on cotton and eighteen
cents a hundred pounds on flour.
Indications on administration
thinking have been given in recent
speeches by Secretary of State
Byrnes and Secretary of Agriculture
Anderson.
Byrnes, in a speech at Charleston,
S. c., last week, outlined foreign
trade policies of the administration.
Those policies seek, he said, the
elimination of barriers to world trade
and use of export subsidies in ex-
ceptional cases only.
Speaking before State commission
ers and secretaries of agriculture at
Memphis, Anderson declared price
goals of present farm laws shave
little relation to reality" in their ap-
plication to some commodities. He
cited cotton and cautioned that it
faces possible loss of market at
home and abroad.
AS administration leaders see the
situation, this country has only
these three courses open to it:
l. Reduce prices of the export
commodities so that they may move
freely into world markets.
2. Subsidize exports if present
price policies are retained.
3. Re-establish production con-
trolls to limit output to domestic re-
quirements if present price policies
are kept and export subsidies are
eliminated.
The Byrnes and Anderson speeches
indicate an administration prefer
ence for the first course. 1t would
be supplemented by international
collaboration designed to stabilize
prices at levels fair to both farmers
and consumers and to divide world
markets among producing nations so
as to prevent cut-throt competition.

SYNOPSIS

Young Celia Bartlett has come
home to Lathamtown and family
she hardly knows. "Those Crazy
Bartletts," people always called them.
Her parents, called Ma Sue and Buzz
by all their children, had led an un-
usual life. Celia had been adopted
by her aunt when a baby because the
Bartletts were trouping in vaudeville
and that was no place for a baby.
When they had retired to the LAM
bert home, other children came along
Pete, Honey and Susan. Celia is
now back among all the crazy Bart
let's, and she feels unwanted and
terribly lonely. Then there is young.
red-haired Rusty Randolph, a house
guest, whom she doesn't seem to like.
She doesn't know why, either. Win
Mallory declares his love for Celia
and asks her to marry him. Celia
gives him to understand that she
will. Rusty is surprised when Win
tells him of the engagement.

Cure For Sleepless

Clemson, S. c., Nov. 29-Noctur-

be relieved by DDT, an expert has
announced.
"DDT is the perfect answer to the
bedbug problem" w. C. Nettles,
Clemson extension entomologist, said
Monday.
"When properly applied as a five
per cent powder to mattresses, beds,
and chicken houses, these places will
remain free of bedbugs for six
months or more, Nettles said.
