Sparkman Says Veto
OF Current Bill Would
End All Rent Control

If President Truman vetoes the
rent control bill which Congress
expects to send him this week there
probably will be no Federal ceiling
at all after June 80, Senator Spark
man democrat of Alabama said
today.
Senator Sparkman is the ranking
Senate Democrat on the House-Sen-
ate conference committee which
reached final accord last week on
legislation to extend rent controls
through next February 20. The COM
mittee compromise was listed tenta-
lively for House action today.
Senator Sparkman told reporter
he is not proud of the committees
handiworks but that it appears to
be that or nothing"
Critical of Increase
1.-THE republican leadership has
given us to- understand that they
would not consider another bill if
the President vetoes this one," he
said, "and I doubt that we could
pass much better bill anyway"
Senator Sparkman and other
Democrats have been particularly
critical of provisions which Cd per-
NIT a rent increase of up to Is per
cent. where landlord and tenant
agree on a lease to carry through
1948, and (2) scrap all government
restrictions over construction except
recreational and amusement build
ings.
A strong indication that Housing
Expediter Frank r. Creedon will
urge Mr.. Truman to veto the bill
came meanwhile in a report by
Mr.. Creedon that the measure might
wreck the housing program.
Material Shortage Cited.
Without referring directly to the
pending bill, Mr.. Creedon said a
huge volume" of nonhome build.
ing is expected to start If controls
are lifted, and added:
1T is apparent that in a good
many areas throughout the country
materials supply is still too critical
to permit complete freedom of non
residential construction without
disastrous consequences to home
building"
Senator Taylor, Democrat, OF
Idaho, another member of the con-
ference committee, said the bill
should be turned down by both
houses or, failing that, vetoed by the
President.
Senator Sparkman, however, said
Mr.. Truman has almost got to
sign it if he wants any rent con-
troll at all, and I think it is little
better than nothing"
The present rent control law ex-
pires June 30. The President had
urged that it be extended without
change for one year.

NEW NAVY ENLTsTMFNT

EFFECTIVE Immediately and up to
October 81, 1947, navy ratings have
been re-opened to ev-naval person
mel. Previous to this directive those
men who had been separated over
three months from the naval service
were enlisted or re-enlisted only as
seaman first class or fireman first
class. There are too many ratings
affected by this order to print ac-
cording to j. d. Lewallen, CFC, USN
of the navy recruiting station in
GAINESVILLE. 1t is urged that all ex-
navy men interested in this recent
change in elistment policy contact
navy recruiters in Caldwell on Fri
days at the post office. The deadline
on this change in enlistment policy
is October 81, 1947.

Okey Hague met with very bad
accident on Wednesday, that might
have been serious. He was driving
the tractor of Toms towing the
binder down the steep hill in Fuller
Gulch, when the right rear wheel
of the tractor fell off. The heavy
iron wheel fell on Okey's right leg,
pinning him down until he could
hardly move. But with the help of
his son, Brad, they were able to get
the heavy wheel off his leg. Okey
went to the hospital at Senecaville,
where diagnosis showed that he
suffered badly torn ligaments.
Dallas Bond received some very
bad cat scratches and teeth marks,
when transferring some cats from
his place to the Bishop Bates on

In many points of interest the pol
itical pots are being cleaned up and
polished, ready to boil in oil some
politicians already in office. They,
the voters, feel they want men in
office that get things done and have
the know how, they want men that
can say more than yes or no. They
want men of action. More of this
political future outlook, soon.
Congratulations to George Bates
for his appointment to the auditors S

to take care of the job.

An effort is to be made to form

Future plans at present, are, to
have associations in every county in
every state in the country.
1t is very evident that the fox
and foxhound lovers were given a
very raw deal by some state repre-
sentativeS in Columbus.
The job of the associations are out
to defeat this sort of representative.
The FFPA is a national organiz-

Why?

Next winters Ohio demand for fuel oil
for home heating, industrial uses, farms,
and railroads will be up several hundred
per cent over the last prewar year, 1941.
For instance, even last winter the use of
oil heat was more than double what it
was in 1o41.
There is no trouble today with crude
oil. Refneries are producing above pre-
vious levels and can go higher. The pinch
is in transportation Of crude petroleum
and petroleum products, especially in the
middle western and north central states.
Pipe lines, barges, tankers and tank cars
are transporting petroleum at capacity
levels. Steel and equipment shortages
today are holding back increases in
transportation capacity.
Current circumstances have already
caused Soho and other companies to
limit their supplies of gasoline. Now,
the safety and convenience of all con-
cerned requires temporarily that the use
of fuel oils be kept within bounds.

What Soho is Doing

We are doing everything possible to
assure our contracted home heating Gus
toners of their required Sohio-Heat for
next winter.
I. Already, as safeguard for these Gus
toners, we have ceased taking on new
home oil heating commitments and have
urged our independent distributors to
do likewise.
z. Soho has offered contracts to all pre-
vious regular customers for their next
winters requirements and is urging inn
mediate acceptance of these contracts.
,. During this summer we are filing
every customers home storage tank to
the brim.
q. Soho has offered low cost arrange
ments to customers for increasing their
home storage.
5. We have taken pains to fully inform
dealers in oil burning equipment.
q. Considerable new Soho fuel oil storage
is being built.

/ among the members who claim
none of these advantages, num-
Der will be found who will prove
themselves splendid legislators
because of their honesty, courage
and good judgment.
At best the job of a legislator
is most trying for those who sin
cerely accept its responsibilities
and tackle the work seriously 1t
requires a keen mind and an un-
derstanding heart to analyze
each, problem, withstand the
pressure and arrive at an inteli-
ligent decision.
The coming session promises to
be plenty tough, for lawmakers
will find themselves besieged
with demands for increased APP
preparations on the one hand and
OPPOSITION on the part of business,
industry and the public to more
taxes.
1t will not be easy to look
ahead for the next two years and
determine how much money a
state department or bureau
should have to operate efficient
ly. Indications are that some of
the present sources of revenue
will level off within the next
"a months as the wild spending
and gambling Stacks up and
folks begin to get their feet back

There will probably be some
good laws passed at the coming
session and by the same token
there will be some bad and fool
ish ones. AL we can do is wait
and see what happens. AS it
looks from here, the men who
serve us in the l947 legislature
appear to be a good average
group that can be depended upon
to do an average legislative job.
They are entitled to our conf

PREVIOUS SERVICE
A very important fact noted by
an examination of the biograph-
les, is the large amount of pre-
vious legislative experience had
by so many of the members of
the coming Legislature. This
should add greatly to the careful
and mature thinking that will be
applied to proposed Legislation.
Two members have had ten years
in the Legislature, one eight
terms, two have served seven
terms, two six terms, nine have
served five terms, eight have
served four terms and % have
had as much as three terms pre-
vious experience. Twenty three
have served two terms and 20
have had at least one term pre-
vious experience. This infornla-
ton shows that more than one
half of the total members will
have had previous Legislature
experience.
Some of the members have had
experience in government service
other than the Legislature. One
member has had 40 years as an
official in other government serv-
ice. Another member has had %
years, two have had IL years, one
IL years, three eight years, four
four years, two three years and
two two years previous public eX-
perience.
All of this indicates a rich back
ground of experience in public
service and if we are to judge by
these statistics. incomplete though
they may be, the 1947 Legislature
will be a fine cross-section of
American life and Florida citizen
ship with far above the average
in experience. The people of
Florida should look forward to
the coming session of the Legis-
lature with great confidence.

roo LATE TO
CLASSIFY

With another legislative SEES
sion in the offing, any informa-
ton that gives us same idea of
the kind of men who will serve
us in the House and Senate is
of genuine interest.
Secretary of State Bob Gray
has been studying the list of
members and in a press release
this week gives us some interest
! ing facts about the backgrounds,
personalities, vocations and re-
ligious affiliations of the i34 men
who viii occupy legislative seats
at the coming session.
While Secretary Gray doesn't
tell us how far they would reach
| if laid end to end, he does reveal
that of the 1874 only SIS are ma
tive born Floridians.
He further reveals that 81 have
had, the benefit of college train
ing, that 80 have experienced
military service, 10 in World War
and 20 in World War IL.
The average age for members
of the House is As and for mem
bers of the Senate it is 40.
Turning to vocations, his study
of the record shows that as usu-
al, lawyers are far in the lead
with rs or more than half, Civ
ing their occupation as "Attor-
ney- at-Law." Since they play the
roll of makers this is a nor
NAL and natural situation.
The balance of the members
represent varied occupations,
four are in the livestock business,
four lay claim to the title Real
tors, four are contractors. Three
give their vocation as automobile
dealers, thre as editors, two are
druggists, two are citrus grow
ers while one minister, one saw
mill operator, one dairyman, one
accountant, one turpentine oper-
ator and one fisherman are list
ed.
Surprising is the fact that out
of the 1874 members only sc or
less than one-half, profess to be
church members. Sixty-eight
claim no church utilization.
