Delegates to the convention who
were elected in the August pri-
mary last night also elected 50

Der 5, where nominee to succeed
Mr.. Glass will be chosen.
After adopting unit rule where

tive Smith IF his name be sub
mitted to the convention and for

fore the convention"

Austria S Economy
Better, Clark Says
BY the Assoeioted Pres.

VIENNA, Aug. 14.-Gen. Mark w.
Clark. American commander in
Austria, today said in his monthly
report to Washington that increased
employment, reduced occupation
costs, rise in consumer goods pro-
duction and the American return
Of vital industries to Austrian con-
troll had considerably strengthened
the schilling and improved Austrian
internal economy in July.
The black market price of the
American dollar dropped by the end
of the month from IS schillings
to SIS.
There has been little further de-
cline in early August. and predic-
tons were heard in Austrian finan-
cial circles that the value of the
schilling had stiffened by now
enough so that it might be expected
to find an eventual free market
with the dollar at about 40 schil-
llngs, The present pegged price is
20 schillings, but this is artificial to
the extent that schillings are not on
the international market.
Occupation costs were reduced in
July from IS per cent of the Aus
TRAN budget to 30 per cent, by
agreement Of all four occupation
zone commanders.
The food situation while still
unsatisfactory, was somewhat better
in july" the report said.
The average Consumer received
1900 calories per day. about 100
Galleries better than the preceding
month.

There was no indication of what

Meanwhile, President Truman was
understood to be still considering
this Governments decision on the
London proposal for division of Pal

Pepper Offers Solution.
A Palestine solution was offered
separately by Senator Pepper, Demo-
Graf, Of Florida. He proposed in a
news conference that the United
Nations recall Great Britain's Lea
que OF Nations mandate over Pales-
tine and administer affairs of that
strife-torn land through the U.N.

Senator Pepper, a member of the

Canadian Newsprint Price
Must Go Up, Small SAYS

An OPA-approved price increase
averaging $4.75 per 1000 board-feet
for Sikh spruce lumber went into
effect today and Civilian Produc-
ton Administrator Small said price
rises undoubtedly" must be granted
on Canadian neWsprint, lumber,
pulp and some other products i'm
ported from Canada.
Canadian supplies are being di-
verted to other markets, he said, as
result of Canada's revaluation of
the dollar last month, which raised
prices to American buyers 10 per
cent, and the absence of OPA action
to increase the price American buy
ers may pay
In New York the Newsprint In
dustry Advisory Committee to OPA
adopted a resolution yesterday on
the question of lifting price ceilings
and forwarded it to. Washington,
without making public the recon-
mendations. The committee action
followed considerable confusion in
the newsprint industry incident to
the Canadian dollar revaluation.
OPA said the price increases on
Sitka spruce lumber were granted
to help meet requirements of the
veterans emergency housing pro-
| gram.

SABBATH of the House Rules Com

This could not be done by Con-
gress during its final weeks, it was

Although he has made no formal
request other than in a House
speech published today in the Con-
gressional Record appendix, he re-
peated the demand that the two de-
partmentS:
Make thorough investigation of
the Arab office and find out by what
right the Arab kingdoms can inter-
fere in our domestic affairs, attack
and distort and misrepresent ad-
ministration policy, hire high priced
public relations counsel and bring
pressures on our Department of
State impossible TO our own Amer

Taft Junior High
Addition Approved

Approval of plans calling for the
addition of two wings to Taft Junior
High School to provide the institu-
ton with two gymnasiums and
seven additional rooms was given
yesterday by the Board OF Educa-
tons Committee on Buildings and
Grounds.
The project. estimated to cost
$500 900, now goes to City Archi-
tect Merrel A. Coe for drafting,
prior to being submitted for con-
struction bids. The committee said
completion was not anticipated dur
ing the next school year.
Without any gymnasium since its
opening in 1888, Taft will be pro-
Vided with one each for boys and
girls in the south wing under the
plan. The opposite wing will con-
tain print shop, two specially
fitted home economic classrooms
and four regular classrooms.
The two wings, to be of two
story brick and limestone construc-
ton blending with the original
structure, will increase the schools
capacity from 300 to $40 pupils.
The request for approval of c.
Melvin Sharpe, acting committee
chairman, for approval of the
PROJECT, received unanimous support
Lawson j. Cantrell, assistant SUI
perintendent in charge of junior
high schools, said the additions
would place Taft ahead of all SIM
liar institutions in the home eco
Monies field.
Homemaking, with particular at
tention to such things as the buy
ing of furniture and other every
day problems, will be stressed under
the new Taft home economics
course, Mr.. Cantrell said. The
course as now taught emphasizes
sewing and other domestic science
subjects, he stated.
Pending construction Of the new
wings, Taft students will have t
continue using ordinary classroom
for home economics. Mrs. Mar

courses during her more than II

Five-Point Program
Outlined by Devers
For u. ). Security
ny the Associated Press

GETTYSBURG, Pa, Aug, IA
Gen. Jacob L. Devers, commander
of the Army Ground Forces, ex-
pressed confidence today in Amer
ica's national security on the basis
of five-point program for leader
ship in world affairs.
To achieve this security, he said
in addressing a veterans home
coming celebration, I'VE must act
promptly, effectively, wisely and
courageously," in carrying out these
"musts" in the following order of
their Importance:
81. We must put our own house
in order.
%. We must clarity and define our
course of action in international
affairs
Need World Organization.
% We must have knowledge and
understanding of the nations and of
their ways of thinking and their
motives
a. We must work to establish a
world organization.
IS. We must see that our armed
forces have the means to accom-
plish their missions.
Gen. Devers said the approach in
attaining American security must
be radically different" from that
In the past.
The difference, he declared, is in
these four ways:
q. Science has blown open the
door to entirely new possibilities in
poWer-both for defense and for
offense.
Balance of Power Gone.
20. The Old World balance of
power, which helped us keep out of
ENHANCEMENT by keeping the ma
tons relatively stable, is gone.
g. Greatly increased speed and
ease of distributing information has
drawn the other nations closer to-
gether-has mixed us up increas-
ingly in each others affairs.
a. Our foreign commitments are
greater and more complex than
ever before"
America cannot be secure unless
the rest of the world is secure, he
added, and conversely the rest of
the world cannot have security I'M
less America is secure.
The ground forces chief declared
action to insure that their sacri-
fees have not been in vain" would
be the logical living memorial" to
the veterans of World War II.

Public Welfare Dept.
Reports on Services

The Holmes County Department
of Public Welfare has administered
assistance totaling $26,818.50 to 615
people in the three months of July,
August, and September, 1916. The
persons receiving assistance COM
prise three groups: 534 received Aid
for the Aged totaling $21,469.50, 80
received Aid for the Blind totaling
$2604.00 and AZ families, including
81 children, received Aid for De-
pendent Children totaling $2745. 90.
The grant for each individual reach
ed him in a check mailed from the
State Department of Public Welfare
each month.
The amount of a persons
monthly grant is based upon an in
dividual budget covering the cost
of his minimum needs for living.
The difference between the amount
of need and the amount of income
or financial help from any source
which is available to meet his need
10 NdiiNO tiC pudSCtdly dSllClt.
Ideally, the amount of grant should
meet this budgetary deficit, but in
Mississippi we are able to do this
only in Aid for the Blind. The Max
imum for a family receiving Aid to
Dependent Children is set by state
law and at present too low to cover
the budgetary deficit in these FAM
lilies. The large number of old peo-
pie applying for and in need of as
sistance makes it impossible for the
state to meet 1000 of their needs.
In most of the counties the grants
cover 71% of the budgetary deficit
for these old people.
In addition to these programs of
financial assistance the Holmes
County Department of Public We'll
fare has given special services to
twelve people during these three
months.
