til they got into Monterey, some 150
miles south of the border when they
experienced the squeeze of Mexico's
fiourishing black market. Shortages
in many lines together with accom-
| panying initiation. Gasoline, Ed says,
was virtually unobtainable even at
a price of s2 gallon in American
money. Nylons are featured in
newspaper advertisements at $22.5
pair, Mexican money, which would
be about $4.75 in American money.
Some confusion due to a similar
ity of names, as well as similarity
of jobs between Ralph Locher, secre-
tary to Governor Lausche and John
Lokar, the governors personal secre-
tary. Both have responsible posi-
tions under Ohio's governor, but
each has different duties. Ralph, a
former Bluffton youth, explained
the difference when here over the
week end attending graduation fes-
tivities. He and his family live in
Columbus. His wife, the former
Eleanor Worthington of Bluffton and
little daughter accompanied him
here visiting at Mrs. Locher's par
ents Mr.. and Mrs. A. T. Worthing-
ton of South Main street.
Donald Spallinger, living south of
Bluffton is pondering the significance
of the remains of a small balloon
which he found while plowing in
field, Friday afternoon. Inscription
on the balloon indicated that it had
been sent from Ft. Wayne, April IS.
Inside the balloon was a candle
which was evidently burning during
the fight. Only a small piece of
the unburned candle remained.
We are again calling attention to
the war department regulation which
prohibits publication of addresses of
overseas men. Mention of this is
made because of a number of re-
quests received recently for such
publication.
You've heard of cats having nine
lives-a variation of this can be seen
at the home of Mrs. Fred Hahn who
has cat with nine tails. The cat,
however, happens to be of china
fashioned into a flower pot from
which are growing nine rat tail
cacti.
Ralph Hauenstein, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Edwin Hauenstein of Detroit,
formerly of Bluffton was one of four
high school students awarded War
Bonds as winners in an essay spon-
sored by the Detroit Historical So
ciety. There were 6,700 entries. |
Pictures of the four winners ap-
peared in Detroit newspapers last
week. The essay topic was: "Why
should Detroit celebrate the sesqui-
centennial of the raising of the
American Flag over Detroit in
1872" Hauenstein's father connect
ed with the Dodge factory in Detroit,
and his mother, the former Ruth
Blue, were former students in Bluff

Gas
4exibility
And Cooking Superiority

The flexibility of Gas and Gas Equipment
in helping a busy restaurant keep appetizing
meals constantly flowing to the tables is
well illustrated at the popular Southern
Tavern in Cleveland. A battery of heavy
duty Gas ranges, circular Gas oven, Gas
coffee urns and three Gas bake ovens COM
prise the cooking equipment in this modern
eating place. Besides finding Gas the most
flexible and economical fuel; the manage
ment says much time is saved through auto
matte controls which free the staff for other
duties.
The housewife in her kitchen appreciates
the same advantages of Gas as do famous
Chefs the country-over :. and enjoys the
leisure time that automatic Gas cooking
makes for her. New Gas appliances are roll
ing off the production line, and dealers
stocks are improving but not fast enough
yet to meet the demands. Don't delay-place
your order now to insure delivery of Won
derful new Gas range, refrigerator or water
heater.

Fresh-cut saplings to be used for
farm posts or poles will drink enough
chemical solution to prolong their
length of service. The solution can
be made from two pounds of zinc
chloride, chromated zinc chloride, or
copper sulphate to each gallon of
water. A half gallon of the solution
will treat a 4-inch pole which is 30
feet long. The bottoms of posts or
poles are placed in a tank or tub of
the solution, which is poisonous to
livestock or human beings.

Britain Will
 Ration Bread
Labor Situation in U. S., Congress Trends, Giv-
 en as Reasons

LONDON, July 3.-Food Minister John Strachey asserted today that Britain decided to ration bread rather than gamble on American labor relations and on the course of things in congress-
 He called on the United States to kelp feed the British occupational zone of Germany or face the poli- tioal and social consequences to western Europe" He asserted that congress action in the price con- trol dispute also would determine whether there would be any inter- luption in U. s. exports.
 Mentioning the recent U. s. mari time strike, Strachey told the House of Commons there was no guarantee against a recurrence.
 He said he believed the U. s. government was determined to do it's utmost to meet foreign grain commitments, but that he did not know whether it would be 1ble to do so.

MOSCOW WRITERS
 DISCUSS RESULTS
 OF BIkIM| TE51
By Rembert James

MOSCOW, July .. - A Pravda commentator declared today that the Bikini atom bomb test had "basically undermined confidence in the seriousness of American talks about atomic disarmament"
 The atomlc bomb test did not bring about the end of the world, but it blew ur something more es- sential than pair of old ships, , wfote the commentator, Boris Iza- kov, in the Communist party news paper.
 And why, really, did the expen- Sive and troublesome experiments at Bikini atoll have to be conduct ed if the United States is seriously going to turn away from the atomic weapon?
 "The test bore witness, not about preparations for destroying this weapon, but, on the contrary, about work for it's improvement.
 AS could have been expected, the test confirmed that the atomic weapon has enormous destructive force, although results appeared more modest than the American press predicted"

2 PRICE CONTROL BILLS REACH SENATE
RUMANIAN POLICE ARREST Ap CLERK
 AS spy SUSPECT

2 BUCHAREST, July 3.-Rumanian police have arrested Valery Cor dun Fastikovsky, 23, typist in the Bucharest office of the Associated Press.
 Police told AP correspondent Frank O'Brien that Fastikovsky was arrested for "subversive activ- ity against Ukrainians' and work ing for the Germans in 1941 and 1942. Fastikovsky has been an AP employee for several months.
 His case has been turned over to the Russians because of the in- tense Russian interest in anything connected with the Ukraine,' ac- cording to the police. No formal charges have been preferred.
 Fastikovsky, whom O'Brien was permitted to see, maintained his innocence of anything but mem- bership in a Ukrainian cultural so- ciety of long standing in Ruthenia. His arrest followed an anonymous denunciation.

IS INCREASING
 IN TRIESTE
American, British Troops. Police Take Over Com
 munist Quarters

TRIESTE, July 3.-American and British troops and Venezia Giulia police took possession of Commun- ist Party headquarters in the strongly Leftist San Giacomo workers district of Trieste today.
 The building was thoroughly searched for weapons, but only stones were found. Allied troops mounted on armored cars and Bren gun carriers maintained ring of steel around both the San Giacomo district and Garbaldi Square, scene of mob violence earlier this week.
 Col. J. c. Shuts, Trieste area commander, announced the occupa- tion of Communist headquarters. After the initial search, only Bri- tish troops were stationed there.
 The situation in Trieste and sur- rounding area continued tense, partly aggravated by reports from Paris that Venezia Giulia would be severed from Italy. The general strike of 100000 workers, called at noon Monday because of riqting, had eased somewhat today. A few street cars were in use, but port operations remained at stand still. Two persons were killed and 60 injured in the riots.

EXTENSION FOR 0pA IS
 UNDERWAY
Plan New Lease of Life Un- tiI July 20 = House
 Acts FavorabIy

WASHINGTON, July 3. = Two measures to revive price controls reached the Senate Banking Com mittee for consideration today after Senator ODaniel D-Tex) aban- doned the blocking tactics that had stalled them for three days.
 ODaniel gave up after making a jocular motion to refer the bills to the Committee on pensions.
 He said that seemed the logical place for them, as 65,000 former employees of OPA now have noth- ing to do.
 Majority leader Barkley suggest ed O'Daniel's motion was out of order, and Senator Maybank (D- SC), acting president pro tempore, upheld Barkley.
 The two bills-one already passed by the House, the other introduced in the Senate by Banking Con- mittee Chairman Wagner (D-NY) are identical
 Each would grant OPA tempor- ary extension of life, until July 20, to give Congress time to work out permanent legislation if possible.
 There appeared, meanwhile, sev- eral signs that the coalition which mclded the Presidentially- vetoed OPA calender might be falling apart.
 Senator Murdock (D-Utah) said that as member of the Banking Committee he has received con- crete indications that some Demo- crats who joined in whittling down OPA have had a change of heart.
 T think the President has solidi- fled his party behind his position on the price control question as it never was solidified before," Mur- dock told reporter.

ONLY 14AT0M
 TARGET SHIPS NOT DAMAGED
Six BuIIseye Graft Are Sill Emitting LethaI Rays
 Observer Appalled,

ABOARD USS APPALACHIAN, July 3.-Fifty- nine of Bikini's 73 target warshlps felt Mondays white-hot atomic blast, the Navy reported today, with damage rang ing from total to negligible.
 Six remained dangerously radio active today.
 Five, including one modern cruls- CT, were sunk; nine others, lncluo- ing two battleships, two cruisers and a carrier were heavily dam aged" Damage to small craft was not tallied.
 The Army's official ground forces observer, Maj. Gen. Anthony Mc- Auliffe. concluded the new Wea- pon would force any nation, even the United States, to quit a war although he believed it would be more effective against cities and industries than military targets.
 No One Could Survive
 q hope I never see another one like that thing" he sighed to news men. He said he knew of no de- fense except to shoot it down, or to send airborne troops to It's source of production in an enemy country.
 He said he did not believe any man could have survived on the decks of the target vessels in the innermost, hardest-hit group.
 Test animals left aboard the fleet survived the first blast, however; even those aboard the centrally-an- chored Nevada still lived. But whe- ther their exposure to atomic rays would prove fatal within the next few days was to be determined Sailors said one goat on the Neva- das quarterdeck was mighty sick"
 Similarly, eight white rats sur yiyed a ride directly through the atomic cloud itself, but they may die within three or four days, Col R E. harmon. Chief of the Army s Wright Field Evaluation Board, re- ported. The rats were the sole pas sengers in a B-17 drone.
 Central Targets Radioactive
 Centrally-archored target ships still were emitting deadly rays to- day. said reports from Vice Adm w. H. P. Blandy's flagship, the Mt. Mckinley. Included in this "hot" group were the Nevada, Ar kansas, submarine Skate, transport Crittenden, a yard oil tender and a floating drydock. The Skate was beached at Enyo Island, more than four miles from Bikini, because Navy officers teaied it's radioactiv- ity might contaminate Bikini's swimming beach.
 All vessels are expected to be ruled safe" by tomorrow. The waters of the lagoon itself were termed safe today, except in the immediate vicinity of the radiat- ing ships.
