Second Prospect School Building

Four miles west of Harrington
on the HarringtOn-Denton high
way, is the site of the Prospect
School. 1t is located in the rear
of the lot where Prospect Metho-

school building was erected in 1881
when free schools were establish
ed in the state. The writer's grand
father, Beniah Tharp, was one of
committee to lay out this and
neighboring school districts. A
second building was erected on
the spot in the early 1S70's and this
served the community until about
1927, when the state consolidated
the local school districts into larg-
er and more efficient units.

Reconversion a la Russo
(New York Times

Reading The Daily Worker in this period of re- conversion from what is hopefully called peace
 is sometimes amusing, occasionally puzzling, but always a heart warming experience. The other day, for example, there article headed "A MeaN Woman" in which three-year old girl with strange look in her wonderful face" underwent an ordeal of New York 'red-baiting, in an unfortunate encounter on the street with warped and twisted old woman with "heartful of hate" who didn't like Communists. The symbolism may be familiar to those acquainted with pre-war literature the decadence of warped and twisted" old American civilization opposed to strange" and wonderful" of the future.
 So" The Daily Worker writer went on, we pained to the little girl about Communists and how they love children beyond everything else, and are fighting to make everything good for them. And the little girl said And children going hungry in Europe?'" the little girl started singing $ I love Communists and then go away, you woman"
 On the day this less subtle propaganda appeared The Daily Worker consisted of twelve pages five columns each, but very careful search therein has failed to discover any mention of the pub lished that morning in this and other newspapers to the effect that Generalissrno Stalin had rejected President TrumanS request for Soviet Russia to CO., operate with the United States and Great Britain in feeding the hungry people of less fortunate countries because the appeal "came too late" This despite Premier Stans recent agreement to send 500000 tons of wheat to France just before the elections in which the French Communists failed to put over Con- Stitution that might have facilitated thelr Sezure of power
 It warns the cookies of the heart to feel that those little children in Europe who love Commun- sts" will not go hungry. Go away, you mean woman and all your anti-totalitarian brood of truths free doms justices and charities for all and maces toward none Do not expect food from us, because we love children beyond everything esethat s children who
 love Communism" But what is the world recon verting to? Food for party members only and else where universal hatred and the inevitable road to another war? Or peace and goodwill on earth to all men?

English had suddenly discovered an l8-month-old letter in Army files, which, if he had seen it earlier, might have prevented the war-con- tract award to Erie Basin.
 The letter was from Col A. N Kuhn of the New York office of Chemical Warfare, quoting Louis Segal of the Segal Lock Company as saying the Erie Basin Company was not a subsidiary of Segal. Earlier, when the Carson brothers first contacted the War Depart ment, they claimed to be a subsi- diary of Segal lock company.
 This letter was dated Feb. 23, 1942, but General English did not discover it until the end of 1943. Shortly after discovering it, he was transferred to Omaha.

"YIECHEL'S" LUMBER DEAL

How the Chairman of the Mili- tary Affairs Committee happened to tie up with these war contract ors is his secret. However, his ties with them went into many rami- fications.
 The congressman, for instance, received "experse money" from the Garssons ir connection with a lum- Der mill they purchased in Ken lucky The Garssons gave their friend a check for S28,00O for the purchase of the Cumberland Lum- Der Company in Pikeville, Ky.
 May has been able to show inves- tigators canceled checks for about $24000. These canceled checks in- dicate that he turned that amount Of money over to the original own CTS of the lumber company.
 The remaining S4000 he kept This. he informed investigators, was to reimburse him for travel anc other expense.
 Just how the Congressman iron ! Kentucky could spend $4000 fol i travel and expenses in helping tt i buy lumber mill for his war con. tractor friends is another of MT Mays secrets. Presumably he didn' have far to travel since the lumbe company and MT. May are located in Kentucky.
 The Garssons, in buying tn, Cumberland Lumber Company, bor roWed the money from the Fri Basin Metal Products Compan, which MT. May had helped to en rich by using his influence witt the War Department. Thus, indi rectly. the Congressman's $4,O0O o expense and travel money cam from Government contracts.
 It is against the law and a crim inal offense for a member of Con greSs to receive a fee for using hi influence in connection with Government contract, or any othe type of lobbying. Congressman Gene Cox of Georgia got caugh taking S2,500 lobbying fee in con nection with radio station, and i required ali the influence of speak CT Sam Rayburn and Cox's othe friends on Capitol Hill to keep tn Justice Department from prescott ing.
