Milford chronicle., 1947-05-16

ernment is preparing to neglect some of the
most important activities of the country.
Forty-one district grazing offices in ten
Western States are being closed. These Of
fees, it seems, have been furnishing aid and
assistance to 10000 stockmen, who depend
on the Federal range for forage and water
facilities during part of each year, for up
wards of nine million cattle, horses, sheep
and goats?
Is it possible that 10000 men are going
to be compelled to do their own chores, and
look after their millions of cattle, horses,
sheep and goats?
But that isn't anything compared with
the calamity that has befallen fish and wild
animals as the result of saving hundreds of
thousands of dollars. Fishery laboratories
will be closed at Boston, and at Crisfield and
other fishing centers of the Eastern Shore Of
Maryland, while at the same time the Pacific
Coast will miss its Government employees
around Seattle.
Other sections where the Government
fishery market will have to paddle its own
canoes will be at New Orleans, Jacksonville, .
and many lesser points along the Pacific and
Atlantic coasts. Possibly in the long run all
of these industries will be better off on their
own.
WHENEVER THE FBl agents organize
trough house" against suspected criminals
the chances are about 99-to-1 that Director
Hoover knows just exactly what it is for
The Supreme Court of the United States
has just decided case uphOlding FBI agents
who forciby entered private home in Okla
hOma City, searched the place, and arrested
the man of the house. They even went so far
as to handcuf him in his own living room,
and kept him under guard for five hours
while the agents looked under the carpets,
turned beds upside down and opened drawers
and cabinets.
Chief Justice Vinson and four other JUS
tices of the Supreme Court decided that the
FBI agents made the search as lawful blow
against crime. The "man of the house" had
already been convicted and sentenced to five
years for a crime against the Government,
and he asked the Supreme Court to set aside
his sentence by alleging that ''the evidence
against him had been taken in an unlawful
search" He guessed wrong.
The dissenting Justices took the position
that home cannot be ransacked unless the
officers have search warrant.

FARMERS DO NOT agree with the Gov
ernment's methods of buying up some farm
products for the direct purpose of preventing
reductions IN prlceS-SO says sound and sen
sible Mark Sullivan, who rates at the very
top of Washington news commentators. The
Government has been carrying on q farm
policy called price support" and while
President Truman has been giving good
deal of advice about lower prices for manu-
factured goods he has at the same time been
rather silent upon the question of taking the
official lid off prices of farm products Ac-
cOrding to Mr.. Sullivan, "a strong word from
President Truman about prices of farm
products, OF even better an action, would
in al
more convincing"
Whatever the President may think about
continuing Government price ceilings on
food is important, because he is actually out
OF line with public opinion in faVOring con-
tinuing that OPA stuf-even by price-fixing
of potatoes, eggs and other farm products

TOO MUCH IMPORTANCE is placed
upon the conversations between Ex-Governor
StaSsen OF Minnesota, and Joe Stalin the
Russian boss.
Stassen went to Moscow as private cit
zen, and all he brought home as the result OF
his interview with Stain was meaningless
expression by Stain that he hoped America
would share international control and in
spectiOn" of the atomic bomb with Russia
That's nothing more than mud-in-your-eye.
