No NeWsletters
 To Be Published At Palmer School

Newsletters, which have been issued from the office of the superintendent of Palmer school in past years, will not be printed this year, it was announced by school superintendent Carl She'll ing last week.
 MT. Smelling said he regretted the change in policy, particular ly when he had announced his plan of continuing the school newsletters. However it is inn possible to use the schools dwindling supplies of paper for this purpose, he said. Since it has become necessary to count the cost of all materials so care fully it has been the school pol icy to conserve paper by utiliz- ing the present supply for class room work only.
 It was announced that the school office is open for parent conferences at any time, should parents wish to discuss matters of school policy.
 MT. Smelling also invited all interested community residents to join the Parent-Teacher's As sociation. Any problems facing the school will be discussed regu- larly at the P-TA," he said. Also any member may bring up any subject of interest and hear it discussed from both teacher and parent standpoints."
 Dues in the Palmer chapter of the P-TA, now a member of the national organization, are only 50 cents annually.

Bus Drivers Say Valley Vehicles
 Break TrafficLaWs

Careless driving is daily en- dangering the life of Valley school children. Drivers of school buses have registered complaints at the office of the school superintendent several times within the past few weeks. The drivers say motorists are failing to observe the law which requires all vehicles, either ap- preaching or driving in the same direction, to come to a full halt when school buses are stopped to load or unload children.
 It has been reported that on one or two occasions children have narrowly missed being run down when crossing the road after alighting from a school bus.
 Valley drivers were warned by highway patrolman Wesley Gilman to observe this regula- tion earlier this year. Hereafter drivers who fail to obey this law will be prosecuted, according to Carl Smelling, school superin- tendent.
 MT. Smelling declared that in- asmuch as the school is respon- sible for the safety of a child until he reaches his home, the present administration of Palmer school will do everything pos sible to guarantee the safety of that child while under school supervision.

HaIIeck Sees Lef-Wingers
Seeking 10 Force Vetoes
BY the Assoeiated Press

House Republican Leader Halleek
said last night that left-wingers in
the Democratic Party are threaten
ing to block President Truman in
his campaign for the Democratic
presidential nomination in 1948"
unless he, vetoes the tax cut and
labor bills.
Urging presidential approval of
both measures, Mr.. Haneck said in
an address for an NBC broadcast:
Obviously, in signing these bills
President Truman would spurn the
hysterical wailing of the radical
wing Of the hodgepodge Democratic
Party.
The Communists would be mad.
because there is a provision In the
labor bill that is like an atomic
bomb to them. Under this legisla-
tion, they would be weeded out of
the councils of labor unions, and
they don't want the country to be
happy and prosperous as a result
OF sorely needed tax relief"
Mr.. Halleck said that If Mr.. Tru-
man vetoes the bills "he will do so
for political expediency" and "he
would be again bowling to the will
of the New Dealers who have been
repudiated by the people"

been there since May 10 for observa-
ton.
The father of the Brand baby, a
26-year-old steel worker, related in
a voice broken at intervals by
emotion how he was called to the
hospital last night under the delu-
sion he was to offer his own blood
for a TRANSMISSION.
When he entered the hospital,
attendants broke the news of the
death of little Diane, his only child
Mother Grief Stricken.
Edna is pretty well broken up
Mr.. Brand said of his wife, who
gave birth of the child March % and
returned happily to her modest home
April 2.
Little Diane underwent surgery to
correct an abdominal condition last
Monday.
THE passage into her stomach
is too small" explained her grief
stricken father. II had been alerted
to be ready to give her a trans
fusion.
That's what I thought the call
was about last night"
The 26-year-old mother, too,
thought she was going to her baby's
side while physicians administered
whole blood as a strength giving
measure.
Il simply can't figure out who
would do such a thing" the father
said.
The father sat near the telephone
awaiting news of the hunt launched
for the killer, still without sleep
since the news came to him within
half an hour after the body of his
baby daughter was found.

the question of whether the infor-
nation then before them justified
grand jury action, and not whether
the FBI investigation should have
gone on in search OF more evidence
Chairman Ferguson asked District
Attorney Wear if he was responsible
for the Justice Department stopping
its original inquiry last January
II don't know about that" Mr..
Wear replied. Il said to the Attor-
ney General I didn't think there
was sufficient evidence for a grand
jury
The three judges put varying val
uations on the Importance of one of
the affidavits read aloud in the
hearing. Judge Reeves said he
would have considered it sufficient
to warrant a Federal grand jury
investigation had he known about
it at the time, Judge Ridge SAID
he would not have summoned a
grand jury on the basis of the affi-
davit alone. Judge Goblet expressed
the opinion that it would have
been the basis for further inves-
tigation.
Woman's Statement Included.
The affidavit, one of hundreds COL
lected by the Kansas City Star, was
signed by Estella Carter. She said
that when she went to the polling
place, she was told by man, Il
voted YOU" She said he later tried
to press some money on her "to buy
some beer" but she declined 1t and
never got to vote.
Chairman Ferguson brought out at
this weeks hearings that election
complaints fall in a group of cases
on which the FBI is required to act
only by direction of the Justice De-
partment, and that in this instance
the FBI was Instructed originally
last fall to interview only four cleo
ton officials and two Kansas City
Star reporters.
Only Preliminary Inquiry.
Testimony also was given the
Senate subcommittee that FBI Of
ficials noted in writing last fall
that their original inquiry was only
preliminary one. and not to be
regarded as an investigation by FBI
agents.
Senator Ferguson brought out
late yesterday from Mr. Wear that
he approved a letter the Attorney
coporoI u,rote IN Geratnr K on, 90 rIv
this year, stating that a lengthy
and detailed investigation" had been
made by the FBI.
Asked by Senator Ferguson if
he regarded that as an accurate de-
scription, Mr.. Wear replied, I'D say
that was little extravagant" +"
Pressed further by the Senator, Mr..
Wear added that it was an "unfor-
tunate" phrasing.

who also have threatened to strike.
The decision to use trucks was
taken at an emergency meeting of
the Premier with army and navy
chiefs early today.
Won't Requisition Lines.
After the meeting the govern
ment said it would take all neces-
sary steps TO keep food moving
throughout the country, but that it
would not requisition the railroads
or the workers. ~
The spontaneous" strike of an
estimated 10000 key workers of the

land, Belgium, Switzerland, Ger
many and Italy.
Scheduled negotiations for ending
the strike were broken off suddenly
yesterday when strikes-which the
federation said it had not ordered,
broke out in scattered places on vari-
Gus lines.
Ranadier asked the union to call
halt, and personally broadcast an
appeal to workers to return to their
jobs.
He said the government was will
ing to meet the workers major de-
mand for reclassiflcation of all jobs
by July (meaning wage increases), !,
but could rot give them everything
they asked. That would cost the
government 10000, 100000 francs
($253 SOC, ,000), he said.

Abundant U. 5. Crop Policy
Proposed by Chester Davis
BY the Associoied Press

A long range policy of abundant
production in agriculture, as against
scarcity to maintain high prices,
was proposed to Congress today by
Chester C. Davis, AAA admins
traitor in the early days of the
Roosevelt administration.
He said a system of rigid, legis-
lated price fixing extended indef-
initely into the future can do a
great deal of harm to the farmers
themselves.
Mr.. Davis, now president of the
Federal Reserve Bank of st. Louis,
submitted his statement to the
House Agriculture Committee on be-
half of the Committee for Economic
Development.
TT will be better to seek high
returns per worker through large
volume, low-cost production" he
said, than to try to get the same
high return by means of high prices
for scarce, limited production"
This, he said, calls for genuine
teamwork of agriculture and labor
and business management"

u. s. Reported Intent
On Barring Soviet Role
In Hungarian Coup
BY the Associated Press

The administration was re-
ported today to be determined
on a full disclosure of Russia's
role in replacing the Hungarian
government with a Communist
regime.
This was reported reliably to be
the purpose behind the plan to send
a strong American note to Moscow
protesting the affair and, with the
cooperation Of Britain, to press for
Ia joint Americana British -Sovietsin-
yestigation OF the Hungarian sit

The note, which was drafted
Thursday but is still being consid-
cred by diplomatic officials, could
be dispatched to Moscow over the
week end but will most likely 60 out
Monday or Tuesday.
Authorities privately described
themselves as doubtful that Russia
would agree to the investigation.
Appeal to Public Opinion.
Even agreement probably would
not prevent an American appeal of
the whole case to the United Ma
|tions, however, unless the inquiry
showed-contrary to expectations
that the Soviet Union had nothing
to do with the Hungarian coup.
What is known of the initial draft
of the note indicates that it is drawn
in such way as to put the Soviet
Union on the spot before world pub
lie opinion.
