The Firing Line By D. N. T.

THEN, TOO When Homer whackedShis sounding .s Tyre
 To edify the spirit Grecian With songs of storm and love and
 fire
 And conflict brought to sweet com-

 And when the minstrel roundly
 roared
 His heartieSt, enchanting ballad, To please the ear of knight and

 And earn himself a spot of salad; When sirens made their magic lay And raised 1t wooingly and madly For sailors so entranced that they Awaited their demises gladly, I have a hunch that there were

 Their antisocial brows a-glisten. Who hummed the tune or sang the

 Over the Presidents opposition, House Republicans have started a campaign to sidetrack compulsory military training in favor of at tempts to secure an international hcn on conscription. Obviously they are working on the theory that it's easier to change a Russians mind than it is a Democrats.

About Phony
SIS Bills

PHOENIX, June 27-A warning
that counterfeits of S. bills are max
ing their appearance in Arizona
was given today by George w. Wal
ker, resident agent Of the U. S.
Secret Service for Arizona.
The spurious money has ap-
peared in the vicinity of Mesa and
Yuma.
Worn and old N appearance, the
oounterfeits may be recognized by
the poorly engraved portrait OF Lin
coin on the face of the note, and
back printing that is of a green
much darker than genuine, the
secret service agent said. Paper
ouaIity also is poor, with no silk
thread impregnation. The counter
feits can easily be jerked apart.
The counterfeits initiate issue of
the federal reserve notes OF the
Federal Reserve Bank Of San Fran
cisco. and bear series 1928-B, with
the check letter 'F" in the lower
right hand corner and upper left
hand. and also check number Is in
the lower right hand corner and on

Any person receiving such notes
should Immediately call a local bank
or local law enforcement officer, tc
have the counterfeits forwarded tc

Road Bickering
Deplored By
Fl. O. Pace

CASA GRANDE, June 27-Chair-
man H o. Pace of the Arizona
State Highway Commission said
Friday there was no utter reason
for sectionalism to have reared its
head in pickering among commits
sion members during a public hear
ing preceding adoption of the $2o,-
coo 900 1946-47 road budget at
Phoenix recently.
He denied there was gentle
mems agreement or pact of any
kind among commissioners TO allo-
cate $282 600 to the StJohns-A Allen
town section of U. S. Highway 666,
as contended by Commissioner j.
M. Smith of Central.
Pace and Commissioner Marcel
F7orman of Yuma were targets of an
attack by Smith during the heated
session.
"It is extremely regrettable that
such an incident should have taken
place among commission members, "
Pace said. THE highway budget
was planned in the best interests
Of the entire state and was fully
endorsed by the 14-man statewide
highway planning committee repre-
senting every county
State Sen. Charles Goff, Pinal
County representative on the plan
ming committee, said that while
the budget as proposed was not per-
fectly satisfactory to all members of
the group, it was considered as good
program as could be developed
for a one-year proposition and
therefore was given the planning
committee blessing.
