his program was interrupted by
the war.
At the outbreak of the war,
Way went to the Amazon in Brazil
with Major General Dunham and
later went to Rio where he organ
lied and directed the operation
of the various joint programs with
the country of Brazil for Nelson
Rockefeller who was then coordi-
nator of International affairs. Be-
cause of his valuable experience
and also because he speaks five
languages, Portuguese, French,
Turkish, and Spanish, Way was
assigned ito the psychological War
fare Branch in the office of War
Information where he had some
unusual experiences in most of the
military theatres around the Globe.
When the war was over, Way
was sent to Spain aS special as
sistant to Ambassador Norman
Armour, now assistant secretary
of State, where he was head of
the American Culture and Infor-
nation Program. Upon return to
the States, MIR. Way spent some
time as Secretary ito Congressman
Hairless and later accepted a top
executive position as director of
field operation for the War Assets
Administration, which operation
reached peak of $4,000 employees
throughout the United States.
Way has held some of the most
important posts in the Executive
Department of the Government
and offers a wealth of experience
in National and International af-
fairs as we'll as knowing the "ins
and outs" of the Capitol by having
worked in Congress.
Way, who has home in Pleasant
Valley knows the Cowmen's prob
lens. He established the Federal
Crop Insurance Program in Ari-
zona when he was in the De-
partment of Agriculture.
Way bases his qualifications on
his actual experience in a Con-
gressional office where he handled
the various Arizona problems; his
knowledge of the International
Patterns in the SO foreign countries
where he has lived or Travelled and
his broad thinking knowledge of
the American Economic System

Veterans with service-connected
disabilities rated go per cent or
more in degree will receive addi-
tional compensation in the form of
allowances for dependents under
the terms of a new law, w. T..
Hardaway, Manager of the Vet
Grams Administration Regional Of
flee at Phoenix, reported this week.
Instructions for applying for the
new benefits will be issued in the
near future to eligible veterans,
Hardaway said.
The increases, which will become
effective with the month of Sep
tember, 1948, range up to IA maxi
mum of $91 per month for a 100
per cent disabled war veteran with
wife, three or more children, and
two dependent parents.
Eligible for the increases are vet
Grams of any war or peacetime
service in the armed forces, who
have Service-connected disabilities
of 60 per cent or more, and who
have one or more dependents.
Under previously-existing law,
disability compensation was based
upon the degree of disability, plus
additional statutory awards for am
putations, blindness, etc., whether
or not the veteran had dependents.
Such veterans will continue to re-
ceive their regular compensation
payments, to which will be added
such additional amounts as they
may be entitled to for dependents
under the new law.
For a veteran rated totally dis
abled due to war service, the new
law provides the following depend
ency allowances: wife but no child,
$21; wife and one child, $35; wife
and two children, $45.50; wife and
three or more children, $50; no
wife but one child, $14; no wife but
two children, $24.50; no wife but
three or more children, $35; plus
S17.50 for each dependent parent.
Veterans with ratings of go per
cent or more for war service, but
less than 100 per cent, will receive
proportionate amounts of the fore
going rates, based on the percent
age of their disabilities. Thus, a
veteran with so per cent disability
and wife only will be entitled to
60 per cent of $21, or $3.50.
Compared rates for peace time
service-connected, total disability
are: wife but no child, $3.50; wife
and one child, $28; wife and two
children, $36.4O; wife and three or
more children, $44.80; no wife but
one child, $11.20; no wife but two
children, $3.50; no wife but three
or more children, $28; plus $14 for
each dependent parent.
Proportionate entitlement, from
go per cent upward, will be figured
on the same basis as in. the pre-
ceding example.
Veterans in training under Pub
lie Law 16 or the CT Bill are not
eligible for dependency compensa-
tion during periods for which they
receive increased compensation or
subsistence allowances for depend
ents, except that they may elect to
receive whichever is the higher
amount.

Mesa Neu,s
By Alfonso Campbell Jr.

This is the ole news hound,
bringing you the happenings in
and around Mesa. People are now
returning from their vacations and
others are just taking theirs.
Among those returning are: Mrs.
Cook and her granddaughter, from
Oklahoma and Kansas, bringing
back with them, Mrs. Cooks grand
son; Mrs. Nora Twiggs from Chi
cago by way of Fort Smith, Ark,
bringing with her, her nephew;
Mrs. Margie Bell Lewis made
flying trip to Los Angeles, CAL,
and brought her daughter Beverly
Ann back with her. Mrs. Freeman
and her daughter, Geraldine, re-
turned from their successful vaca-
ton in Los Angeles where they
were visiting relatives and friends.
Miss Hazel Campbell spent a few
days in Tucson with friends. Leav-
ing on vacation this week is Mrs.
Frelix who left for Greenwood,
Miss, to visit relatives and friends.
Sunday was spent by most youth
of Mesa on a successful picnic
given by the Youth Club of Mesa.
The picnic ground was at Coon's
Bluff, located about twenty miles
northeast of Mesa. Everyone en-
ioyed themselves with swimming,
games and food, of which there
was plenty. Although before leav-
ing for the picnic there came nice
rain but that didn't change the
minds of the picnickers. So all wet,
the youth with their sponsor Mrs.
L. D. Jackson, left for a picnic in
the rain, but this Arizona weather
fooled them for when they reached
their destination, they found no
rain and everything dry. Every
thing being dry helped to make the
outing a success. The Youth Club
is expecting to have a lot more
outings before school starts.
Mrs. Clarence Bond left for Cal
ifornia to visit friends and rela-
tives. Her sister, Ellouis Franklin
left for California about week
and half ago. Mr.. and Mrs. Bobo
enjoyed a weekend drive to Casa
Grande. MIR. Walter James Vener-
able left for Chicago taking with
him, his sister, Mrs. Ruby Harris,
and his two neices, Rosemary and

OBSERVATIONS
BY Mack c. Nance
A MEAN OLD WORLD

In summarizing the Warlike Spir-
it, of man against man, coupled
with a grim determination of one
race, to make of this world do
micile of master and slave, gives
strong evidence of something radi-
cally wrong with home brewed'
lip service, christian civilization.
AS it is; a barrel of Shiny. venom
Gus and made reptiles, could not
have caused a more distressed, a
more terror stricken, ,disparaging,
and dispicable world, than the un-
happy pandemonium; mans domi-
cile of yesterday and today. AS an
example: man is trained and edu-
Gated to look forward to and ex-
pect; TRADE of political and eco
nomic sanctions, against the Arabs
of Palestine and highly in favor of
the Jews; simply because the Jews
are members of the Caucasian or
white races. Such villianous tao
tics, tends to stimulate in the
breast of non-white races, a spirit
of hate against members, Cen
masse) of the white races. This is
not Cody. Thus, the cold war of
today, stimulated by a vile and fee-
BILE system, fumbling under an
alias called Christian civilization,
will again, drench the world in hu-
man gore, to satisfy the greed, lust
and oil well seeking swine, in
warm war of tomorrow.
World Divided Into Two Hostile
Camps.
A gruesome aspect of human
events as they appear today; may
be sized UP as follows: under an
ersatz or a nonfactional christian
civilization; we find the evil major
powers, dividing the world into
two hostile camps, each, inviting,
lesser powers or brainless satel-
lites, to join their respective
spheres of influence; one by pur-
chase, the other by persuasion.
Both camps were conceived, hatch
ed and nourished in the sad and
loathsome breast, of the same mis-
chievous and hate afflicted race.
The prime objective, and the only
common grounds upon which the
two oil well snatching camps have
agreed on; is to 'perpetuate the
status of abject slaves; for, the
Black, Brown, Red and Yellow
races, that VAST MAJORITY, of
human inhabitants of this world.
Here then, is a serious problem,
confronting three fourths of hu-
manity or that Vast Majority; that
must be hurriedly, peacefully but
factually, solved. under the laws
of SLF PRESERVATION. This is
Gods will and Gods will be done.

Gordon Smith For
Tax Commission
CONTINUED from page -


included over eleven months in en-
emy occupied territory working
with the underground forces in
Europe, where he served with dis
tinction, he returned home to
again take an active part in the
civic affairs of his community.
He is member of the American
Legion, the Veterans of Foreign
Wars, and the National Aircraft
Owners and Pilots Association.
It was after his return from war
that he was first elected to public
office as a city commissioned for
the city of Phoenix, and it was
while serving in this capacity he
became vitally interested in taxa
ton and its problems, and was one
of the principal factors in inaugur-
ating a tax program for the reval-
uation and equalization of all prop
erty values in the city of Phoenix,
resulting in a substantial reduction
in the tax rate of that city.
Mr.. Smith, in discussing his can
didacy said, "The home owner and
small taxpayer, faced with the
ever increasing burden of taxation,
carries this burden more willingly
and easily if he knows that it is
equally and fairly distributed
among all taxpayers. 1t is econom-
ically important to all citizens OF
Arizona that every piece OF prop
erty owned, except that exempted
by law. should be placed on the tax
rolls properly valued and fairly
equaliZed in assessments among all
taxpayers"
He also stated that he is con-
vinced that there is terrific
amount of relief for the home
owner and small taxpayer in a re-
valuation and equalization of all
property in the entire state, and
not confined just to local commun-
tiles, and that this conviction inn
pells him to seek the office OF
State Tax Commissioner.
He emphasized that not only the
mandates of the state constitution,
but the time is at hand, and the
moral duty of an official to the ell
ectorate demand that he devote
his whole time to the office and
the obligations thereof in the solu-
tion of serious problems. He was
emphatic in his belief that the Of
flee is not administered with the
abilities required by the constitu-
ton, and that weighty problems
are treated too lightly to be effec-
lively solved. He believes that the
peoples best interests can be serv-
ed only by "new blood" in the
State Tax Commission.
He stated that he believed that
the returning veteran, attempting
to rebuild his economy for the fu-
ture after many years at war,
should have every consideration
and advantage consistent with
sound practices given him so that
he may, as quickly as possible, re-
gain a solid footing in his commun-
ity and reassume with confidence
the civilian responsibilities of citi-
zenship as he so proudly and effec-
lively did in the service of his
country.
Mr.. Smith further stated that
the constitution of Arizona specif-
ically requires that a State Tax
Commissioner in administering the
affairs of that office have special
training and experience to fill this
important post. Mr.. Smiths train
ing and experience eminently quail
ify him to meet the requirements
of the constitution, and to serve
the needs of the people of Arizona.
He has already demonstrated this
to the community in which he

Georgia CurtaiIs Use
Of Power After Flood
Disrupts Production
BY the Assoeioted Press

ATLANTA, Nov. 3O.-Georgians
were confronted with a power short
age today as flood waters and me-
chanical failures disrupted steam
and hydro-electric production.
Industries at Macon were ordered,
ironically, to halt the use of water
as the surging Ocmulgee River put
five of the city's 10 pumping stations
filters out of operation.
Engineers estimated electricity
production at the major river plants
had been cut 25 per cent because
of flood conditions They said the
shortage was caused primarily by
high waters which reduced the fall
necessary for high electric produc-
ton at dams in North Georgia.
Power Curtailment Urged.
The Georgia Power Co. issued a
Statewide appeal for its users to
curtail electric consumption as
much as possible during the peak
hours of 10 am. to IL noon and 6
pm. to pm.
In Atlanta gasoline buses were
being substituted for electric-pow-
cred trackless trolleys to conserve
power.
Meanwhile flood crests continued
to move downstream, carrying the
threat to middle and southern areas
of Georgia and Alabama.
Transportation in the flood sec
tors was still far from normal.
Near-freezing weather eased the
food threat to Georgia, Alabama,
Tennessee and the Carolinas, but it
promised additional discomfort to
many persons already left homeless.
The Ocmulgee at Macon, fed by
an overflow at Jackson Lake Dam,
reached % feet, highest ever re-
corded. Families in the danger zone
have been evacuated.
Emergency Dixie Built.
The river already has jumped one
levee and is being held in check
only by thousands of tons of sand
dumped there for emergency d1keS
Danes Ferry and Popes Ferry, two
communities Is miles above Ma
con, were reported completely iso-
lated by the water.
Flood warnings were still in force
from Rome in North Georgia to
Millers Ferry in Southern Alabama
Two small boys were drowned
when their rowboat capsized in the
swollen Cumberland River Sunday
near Barbourville, KY. Torrential
rains which brought the floods have
been blamed for several highway
traffic fatalities. One Georgian
whose automobile was found in the
