Urges Resistance.

I'm all candor and frankness, one
of the motives that prompts me to
support this measure Is resistance
to the aggressive expansionist doc
trines of Soviet Russia" the Texas
Senator went on. Free and inde-
pendent nations must not be de-
stroyed. Her conquest OF these keys
to the Mediterranean. to the Middle
East and to the Far East In her mad
march toward world dominion must
be arrested. Aggression feeds upon
each success. II Is urged on to
other conquests, to greater domin-
ion. to more sweeping extermina-
ton of governments and systems
until an outraged world resists and
overcomes and drives back Its bar
barrie system.
1T Is my view that the United
States must be frank with Russia
and that we must demand frank
ness Of the Soviets. There Is no
denial that one Of the cardinal ptr-
poses OF this bill Is to enable Greece

BLuftOn Man Files
Appeal From Verdict

Charles C. Burkholder of Bluffton
filed Saturday in the Allen county
common pleas court an appeal from
a ruling of the Industrial Commits
sion of Ohio.
Burkholder is asking that he be
allowed to participate in the state
insurance fund for an injury re-
ceived April 6, 1945, while working
for the Farmers Grain company
here.
His petition states that an acute
dilation of his heart was caused
when he slipped on a step while
carrying a bag Of fertilizer.
The board on January 20 of this
year after a hearing, ruled his
claim be disallowed because proof of
record did not show the heart con-
dition was the result of an injury in
course of and arising out of his en-
ployment.

Norton went over to Marion Coun-
ty and bought DO sheep which he
brought back to his pioneer farm.
After a few weeks all had been
killed by wolves. The state offered
a small bounty for the scalp of
every wolf killed-but it was long

little bounty.
CRANBERRIEs AID SETTLERS
So, when they discovered the
cranberries could be sold, the set
tiers diligently picked cranberries.
Some of the settlers devised home
made picking implements and work
ed night and day, picking Is to 20
bushels. Although hundreds of
bushels grew in the marsh, they US
ually were all picked long before the
season closed. The cranberry sea-
son began the latter part of Septem-
Der and lasted all winter and spring.
Few were picked in the winter be-
cause they were frozen in the ice.
The cranberry marsh yielded other
things besides cranberries. Swarms
of wild bees were there. Also bears
and smaller animals, and many rat
tlesnakes. While most settlers gath
cred berries, others always were de-
tailed to guard the berry piles, keep
off the animals and watch for rat
tlesnakes.
One man struck it rich. Abraham
Hahn, when digging a mill race in
1888, in Bucyrus, uncovered the per-
ferct skeleton of d mastodon. He
sold it for $1,800. 1t later burned
up in the Barnum museum fire.
Later other mastodon bones were
found during Bucyruse excavations.
However, it was the cranberry
that gave Crawford County its
start, and from that little berry
grew many Of the snug fortunes pos
sessed by its citizens now.

Allen County, Also, Has Birthday
In February; It's 127 Years Old

Among the distinguished company
which celebrates birthdays in
February, you can include Allen
county-still going strong at the
venerable age Of 127 years.
Fact is, Allen county was
established February 12, 1920, ac-
cording to old records yeliowed with
age in the court house at Lima. All
the adjoining counties except Aug
iaize were established at the same
time.
Lands from which Allen county
and 13 other northwestern Ohio
counties were formed were ceded TO
the U. S. by the Wyandot and af-
filiated tribes by treaty in Septem-
Der of 1877. Population of Allen
county initialIy was too small to
justify organization of a govern
ment, and for II years Allen county
was attached to Mercer county for
judicial purposes.
A portion of the county on the
south was taken away when Auglaiza
county was established in 1848 and
at the same time certain additions
were made to Allen from Mercer,
Van Vert and Putnam counties. Due
to adjustments here and there, the
boundaries of Allen county present
many irregularities and there are
II corners. The county government
was organized in June of 1881.
Initial point in history Of the
settlement of the county was the
/ building of Fort Amanda on the
/ west bank of the Auglaize river
during the march of the left wing
of Harrison's army toward the
Maumee Rapids. This was in Oc-
tober, during the War of 1912. Il
was a supply fort in the chain that
reached across the western part o1
the state.
The Auglaize then was a navi.
gable river and in 1916 a number ot
boats were built at Fort Amanda tt
carry troops and supplies down the
river to posts along the Maumee
The Mcclure and Wood families
settled on Hog creek, about five
miles northeast of Lima, about 1925
and a trading post was established
on the site of Lima in 1928.
First public sale Of lots took place

J, S. TRYING TO
 AVERT TROUBLE
 IN IND0NESIA
State Department Makes Request on Officials
 of Republic


 BATAVIA, Java, June 28-lR- The U. S. State Department re- quested the Republic of Indonesia today to cooperate without delay in the immediate information" of an Interim Federal Government and promised to consider financial aid when the Government was es- tablished.
 There were indications that the eleventh hour delivery of the State Departments message to the Re- publican Government had averted the start of Dutch military opera tions Monday.
 Earlier an Indonesian Republican Army spokesman reported evidence that It. Gen. Siem Spoor had ord cred his forces to be prepared to launch united action on all fronts Monday. but Spoor, Commander of Dutch forces in the East Indies, denied this.
 On the political front it appeared probable that Sultan Sjarhrir, busted Indonesian Premier, would be reinstated following sudden switch by Sajap Kiri, powerful leftwing popular front.
 Condemnation by Salap Kiri of Sjahrirs concessions to the Dutch forced his resignation yesterday.

AUSTIN NELSON IS
 TO GO TO GALLONS
 ON NEXT TUESDAY

There are less than three days left in the life of Austin Nelson, 27 year-old convicted murderer, who will face the hangman's moose sometime next Tuesday at the Ju- neau Federal Jail. Nelson was found guilty and sentenced to die as the result of the brutal staying of groceryman Jim Ellen here Dec 22, 1946. His application for exc cutive clemency was refused by President Truman June g.
 Up until yesterday, Nelson's be- havior has been sullen but con- fident that he would escape the moose. He has constantly main tained his innocence since the day of his arrest. Although sticking to his story, Nelson has been trying to accuse others of the crime dur ing the past few days.
 He has made frequent requests in the past few days to see U. $. Marshal William T. Mahoney, As sistant U. S. District Attorney Robert Boochever, defense attorney Joseph A. Mclean and the Rev. Leo H. Sweeney. Each time he has made this request, he promised to make a statement and each time, he has done nothing more than to maintain his innocence.
 The last two days have found Nelson alternating between his former sullenness and very worried frame of mind. He has held hope that new evidence would be un- covered which would release him from the hold of the law. AS the time for his execution approaches, Nelson is getting desperate and realizes that he and his attorney must act fast if he is to escape.
 The exact time of the execution is being kept secret but will take place sometime Tuesday, probably in the early morning hours.
