of those who have the authority to
correct this condition.
6. Resolved, That we again call
the attention of the Bluffton COM
munity to the difficulties imposed on
the farmers by the adoption of fast
time in the summer months. Many
farm operations cannot begin before
mid-forenoon and must continue into
the late afternoon to handle farm
crops, especially in unreasonable
weather and harvest time. The
shortage of farm labor makes this
a matter of serious concern to
farmers. Hired farm labor in some
cases insists on fast-time quitting
hours if the community adopts
fast time schedule.
7. Resolved, That we bring to the
attention of our Governor and the
Ohio State Legislature the import
ance of making a more adequate pro-
vision for the financial support of
our public schools in the State School
Foundation program.
s. Resolved, That we are opposed
to the passage of the proposed leg
islation to make peace time conscrip-
tion the policy of our country.
9. Resolved, That we deplore the
unnecessary waste of sugar, grain
and other food-stuffs in the manu-
facture and sale of intoxicating
liquors at a time when millions are
in dire need of their daily bread.
10. Resolved, That we pledge our
wholehearted cooperation in the eff
fort that is being made to rid our
cattle and hogs of Bangs Disease.
IL. Resolved, That we urge that
,, farmers be represented at the peace
table at the close of the present war.
IL. Resolved, That we call the at
tention of the Ohio Highway Depart
ment to the Importance of keeping
our highways in rural areas open to
travel at all times. The present
condition due to snow-blocked high
ways should not be permitted to oc-
cur again.
Is. Resolved, That we favor and
will actively support any state or ma
tional program designed to combat
conditions that result in soil erosion
and the falling of the water level in
our state and nation. The conserva-
tion of our natural resources is a
matter of prime Importance to all
rural people.

Swedes Wonder If Doenitz
Nav Quosh Peace FeeIers

STOCKHOLM, May 3-(R-
Swedish authorities expressed
anxiety today concerning the eff
feet which Grand Admiral Karl
Doenitz' apparent control of a
rump rman government
might have on the chances for
bloodless capitulation of the
Nazis in Norway and Denmark.
"The Swedish government,
which is continuing its efforts
in the direction for a bloodless
liquidation of the Germans in
Scandinavia, naturally are wor-
ried, but not undLsly So" an
authorized spokesman said.
(In London there were vary
ing opinion on the possibility of
peaceful German capitulation in
Scandinavia. In some official
quarters it was felt that a
general debacle was imminent
on the heels of German surren-
ders in Berlin and in the south
ern part Of the Nazi redoubt.
These developments, it was
thought, showed Doenitz had no
control over the German mill
tary situation and thus the COM
manders might make their own
decisions and end the hopeless
struggle.
(But some Britons expressed
the opinion that the calls for
last-ditch battles in Scandinavia
by the German commanders UNI
der Doenitz had dimmed hopes
for a bloodless liberation.)

Bonus Drive
in Full Swing
Sll,0oo.o0o
Prosrom Proposed
BY WILLIAM F. ARBOGAST


WASHINGTON, May s. up
"A veterans bonus drive, with
an estimated $ll,000,000, 900
price tag attached. is in full
swing on Capitol Hill.
It got off TO a flying start un-
der the guidance of Representa-
tive Rankin (D-Miss), chairman
of the House Veterans Commit
tee and one of the trainers OF
the G.I. Bill of Rights.
1t calls for payment of $40 a
week for year to any member
of the armed services who serv-
ed 80 days or more since Sept.
l6, 1910, and was not dishonor-
ably discharged.
Stoutly insisting that it Is an
adjusted compensation proposal
rather than bonus bill Rankin
predicted the measure he in
troduced yesterday as an
amendment to the G.I. Bill OF
Rights would win early and ov-
erwhelming approval.
While describing it in an in
terview as his on idea, Rankin
said it expresses the Ideas of n
good many of u.s."
The Mississippian declined TO
estimate its cost but said il
would be easy for anyone to cal
culate.
On the basis of $1,040 each
for the more than 100000
men and women eligible, the to.
tai would be in the neighbor-
hood of Sill, 100000.
Rankin said the existing pro-
vision in the G.I. Bill for $50
a-week payments to unemploy-
ed veterans only puts a premi-
um on idleness."
The new proposal, he added
would wipe out this discrimi-
nation and treat them all alike. u
The adjusted compensation
would be in addition to muster.
ing out pay already provided by
law. This ranges from 500 tc
$500, depending on the length
and place of service.
There was no mustering-o u,
pay for veterans of the last wa,
but they were given adjusted
compensation, or a bonus, tina,
averaged from $500 to soc
each. 1t was computed at the
rate Of 81 for each day of serv.
ice in the United States anC
SIPS for each day of foreign
service.

were introduced earlier for vet.

plan might be difficult to head
