COP Scores Clean Sweep In Maine
Victors' Margins ReveoI Nothing
 As 10 U. 5. Trend

Portland, Me, Sept. 10-CUP)- Republicans scored their sixth con- secutive sweep of the five major of- fees as Maine held the nations first 1946 election, incomplete returns showed today. But some observers believed the victors' margins were insufficient to prove conclusively that "as Maine goes so goes the na- tion."
 Repudiating two referendums con- cerning payment of $50 bonuses to World War II veterans, a somewhat apathetic electorate returned COP veterans to their posts in the U. S.. Senate, as governor and in Congress by margins of from two to three-to- one.
 With only few scattered villages and plantations remaining to re- port, returns from 576 of the states 619 precincts gave:
 U. s. Sen. Owen Brewster, (R.- Dexter 105,882, Peter M. MacDon- aid, O. -RumforO 59,976.
 Gov. Horace A. Hildreth, (R.- Cumberland 104,852, F. Davis Clark, (D.-Milo) 67,288.
 First Congressional District (109 of 152 precincts)-U. s. Rep Robert Hale, (R.-Portland 25,866, John c. Fitzgerald, D.-Portland 13,038.
 Second Congressional District (189 of POS precincts)-U. s. Rep. Margaret Chase Smith, (R.-Skow- hegan) 35,305, Edward J. Beau champ, (D.-Lewiston) 22,558.
 Third Congressional District (l83 of 259 precincts)-U. s. Rep. Frank Fellows, (R.-Bangor) 21,125, John M Coghill, (D.-Old Town) BOOT.
 Early last night, when it became all too evident that Republicans would continue to steer the ship of state, Mcdonald conceded victory to Brewster who was born on Wash ington's birthday anniversary 56 years ago.
 Completing his first term as a Senator, Brewster is Harvard law school graduate who climbed from private to captain and regimental adjutant in World War I and later served as governor and for two terms in Congress.

U. 5. Starts Restricting PototoC Crop
 Will Give Price
 Aid to Farmers
 Who Stay Limited

Washington, Sept. 10-UP)-The Agriculture Department, revising its wartime policy of all possible farm production, said today it's 1947 potato price support program will be extended only to farmers who plant within acreage restrictions.
 Officials said restrictions were needed to avoid repetition of this years costly" experience. A flood of surplus potatoes is forcing the Government to buy about 67,000,000 bushels to support prices.
 An additional factor, they said, is the fact that demand for potatoes next year is expected to be no larg- CT than this year because cereals, vegetables and fruits will be plenti- ful.
 First Move Since End of War
 Next years potato goal will be 373,00O,O00 bushels or about 50O0,- 900 less than this year. It is about 72,000,000 bushels less than this years production which topped the goal by 67,000,000 bushels.
 The estimated production is based on 8 national acreage goal of 2,631,- 900 acres, including 283,000 acres of early potatoes.
 The announcement marked the first time since early in the war that the Government has sought to re- strict production in any manner. Et may pave the way for similar pro grams on other crops expected to be in surplus soon.
 Although wheat and corn, for in- stance, now are scarce because of

are interfered with-yet the drug may be insufficient to cure"
 Furacin, taken orally by humans, disappears. No trace of it is found in blood tests. It's fate is a mys- tery, Dr. Scott said.
 That's another reason why this new drug has attracted the atten- tion of many scientists in bacteri- ology. They hope to find the an- SWer soon.

their acreage allotments probably will mean a change in the form of the support price program.
 At present, the government SUD- ports market prices either by pur- chasing surpluses directly from the farmer or on the open market.

 Her body was found at 10:30 A. M. Monday morning of December 16, 1885, slumped over the wheel of her car, dead The police placed the time of death at 4 A. M. Sun day ~. But Mrs. Wallace Ford Gan intimate friend of Thelma's) re- ceived a telephone call from her at 4 P. M. Sunday afternoon, 12 hours after her death!
 The first of the great newspaper trials was the murder of William Guldensuppe (by Martin Thorn and his accomplice, Mrs. Herman Nack) in which the body was completely oismembered and the trunk, arms, legs, skin, etc, put in separate pack ages and thrown In the river The head, encased in plaster of paris, was also thrown in the river The man paid with his life, but his mistress (Mrs. Nack), who turned States evidence, was given IS years She, who had aided in this ghastly crime, was the life VI Ald4iy Q Po1GJ eAlpOAAS 4ACA NCAA mates She objected to the women prisoners smoking, saying: Smoking makes girls tough-unfit for wifehood!"

is of production and manpower.

realistic approach cannot be attained long as Gov

than philosophy of abundant supply for peacetime
