Fly-Tyer To Demonstrate Skill At
Sportsmen Meeting

SpOFtSWem meeting
Henry Brosch, from Findlay, will
demonstrate the art Of Fly-Tying
and Flyfishing with wet and dry
flies at meeting of the Bluffton
Community Sportsmen's Club, this
Wednesday night, January at the
Bluffton Town Hall at 800 p. m.
The demonstration will be iIlustra-
ted with motion pictures and by ex-
hibitions of various types of flies.
The actual construction of a fly
with feathers, haclde, hook and all
other necessities needed to produce
an enticing lure will be made so that
the audience can observe every de-
tail of the process.
Brosch, an ardent flyfisherman,
ties flys as a hobby. He is putting
on the program as an inducement for
others to take up this fascinating
pastime.
A fisherman once he becomes a.
dept with flyrod and artificial lure
will rarely ever use live bait, but re-
lies almost entirely on artificial bugs,
flies and other limitations to catch
his fish.
An entertaining program eonduc-
ted by fan skilled in the art of fly
tying awaits all who attend.
4. f. Kohl, club president, invites
all fishermen of the community to be
on hand. An open forum on future
club plans will be held following the
program.

Political Propaganda
By REA Operative
Charged al Hearing

The House Committee on Execu-
tive Expenditures today called on
officials of the Rural Identification
Administration to explain what
Chairman Hoffman Of Michigan
described as political propaganda"
issued by some of. REA's rural CO.
operatives.
Incensed over a letter sent by
the o and A Electric Coop OF
Michigan to coop members, IN
which they were urged and in
structed on how to write effective
letters to members of Congress re-
ouesting sufficient funds for REA,
Mr.. Hoffman and other members
of his committee closely questioned
the REA officials on the subject. :,
"This is political propaganda
without a doubt. with the intent
to pressure members of Congress, !"
Mr.. Hoffman declared.
He was joined by Representative
Rich, Republican, of Pennsylvania,
who charged that the REA and its
yariously financed co-operatives
were trying "to socialize the coun-
try" by building electrical power
plants to compete with regular utn-
ity companies.
Writing of Letters Urged.
The letter which angered commit
tee members instructed the Coop
erative members to write their rep
resentatives in Congress as well as
to Chairman Taber of the House
Appropriation Committee.
"The entire REA program In the
Nation may be sabotaged through
unwise congressional committee &C
tion," the letter began. After in
structing the recipient to write his
Senator and Representative, a sam
pie letter was attached with sug-
gested phrases to be included in the
appeal to Congress.
"Taber ought to come down into
my country, where many OF the
farmers still do not have elec-
tricity," was one of the phrases
suggested.
Another suggestion offered in the
coop letter was, "I've been trying
to get hooked up ever since this
program started 10 years ago, and
I'm telling you right now that I
don't want it stopped"
REA Not Informed.
Representative Bender, Republi-
can, of Ohio joined his two col
leauges in asserting that the new
Republican Congress would not
stand for Federal agencies issuing
or permitting to be issued political
propaganda on their behalf. Other
Republican members on the COM
mittee also criticized the letter.
William j. Neal, deputy admin
istrator of the REA, said the letter
was written without the agency's
knowledge. Representative Hoffman
identified the author of the letter
as Earl Murley, project manager OF
the electric cooperative.
REA co-operatives are financed by
Government loans and are super
vised and aided in their problems
by the REA.
This was the committees first
meeting and Chairman Hoffman and
Mr.. Bender both served notice that
it would be the groups aim ito elm
