Dewey Reply 10 Critics
Cites Immense Gains
In New York Education
BY the Assoeiofed Press

PAWLING, N. Y, Aug. 26.-Gov.
Dewey today cited what he called a
record of immense progress" in New
York State education in reply to
oritics of his policies in that field.
The Republican presidential NOM
inee added, however, that "the edu-
cational losses of long depression
and the sacrifices of war cannot be
wiped out overnight, and there is
much more to be DONE"
Gov. Dewey set forth his general
views on education in a statement
announcing appointment Of the
Board of Trustees which will super
wise the new State university system
set up by the Legislature during the
last session.
But friends of the COP candidate
said the statement, issued last night,
also was designed as a reply to those
who have criticized his education
program, as well as to those who
accused him of assailing the teach
ers' lobby.
Calls Pay Highest In World.
1.-The education of youth Is a
prime obligation Of our people and
in the last six years in this State
we have made immense progress"
Gov. Dewey said.
"As a result Of action in l945,
1946, 1947 and again in 1948 we now
have in New York State the highest
school teachers salaries in the en-
tire world. The States support for
common schools has been increased
by more than 80 per cent over the
formulas prevailing six years ago"
The six-year period to which Gov.
Dewey referred covers his admins
tration as Governor. He was elected
in 1912.
! Some teacher organizations have
been critical of the Governor in the
handling OF teachers pay and State
aid to education.
Another controversy centering on
him started when columnist
wrote that Gov. Dewey told Gov
ernors' conference at Portsmouth,
N. H., last June that something had
to be done to curb the campaign of
the teachers lobby for higher pay.
Governors Charges Denied.
James C. Hagerty, the Governors
press secretary, denied that when
the National Education Association
asked Gov. Dewey to comment.
Then the Democratic National
Committee released statements by
Gov. Herbert B. Nav of Utah and
Gov. Albert Gruening of Alaska
They attended the Portsmouth con-
ference and insisted that Gov
Dewey had been outspoken in crit
icism of the lobby. Mr.. Hagerty
! also denied those accusations.
To head the Board of Trustees of
the new $200,000000 State univer-
Sity system Gov. Dewey named DR.
Oliver C. Carmichael of New York
He is president of the Carnegie
Foundation for the Advancement of
Teaching and a member of Presi-
dent Truman's Commission on
Higher Education.
The COP candidate was back at
his farm home here today after

yesterday to go to a baseball game

Farm Bureau
Office Robbed
Saturday Night
Investigation
Centers Around
Canton Suspect

Sheriff Clayton Mckee is still
investigating the ''hot tip" he re-
oeived Monday concerning the
$4,000 robbery at the Noble
County Farm Bureau Coop Of
flee on Railroad street, which is
believed to have occurred early
Saturday evening.
Sheriff Mckee spent Tuesday
in Canton, comforting with city
detectives, relatives to the tip-off
which he received from another
local business man, who believes
his agency would have been
robbed had he not been present.
Canton officials are cooperat-
ing with Sheriff Mckee and the
investigation will continue this
week.
Although the robbery is said
to have occurred sometime dur
ing the early part of Saturday
evening, it was not discovered
until Sunday afternoon, when
Everett Hill notified Sheriff
Clayton Mckee that the door to
the main office was open.
Investigation disclosed that en-
trance to the office had been
made by ramming tire tool or
heavy instrument against the
panel of the door, resulting in a
hole large enough to slip hand
through and release the night
lock. An effort had previously
been made to jam the door open
but this attempt failed.
as Investigation by Manager
Thompson revealed that the
thief or thieves had taken all
electrical appliances amounting
to approximately $4,000. Their
loot. included a brass flashlight,
two electric mixers-but they
forgot the mixing bowl to one of
them-an electric clock and an
electric pop-up toaster. No at
tempt was made to force the
safe, which is said to have con-
tanned large sum of money.
Four small boys from near
Caldwell were going home from
the seven o'clock show in Cald-
well and noticed the car in the
driveway and that the door was
open. They were naturally
frightened and did not tell Off
cials until Sunday evening.
Ralph Thompson, native of
Old Washington, has been man
ager of the local coop. for the
past two years. He resided in
Caldwell until his marriage this
summer to the former Marjorie
Pattison, of Cambridge. They
now live at 304 N. Sixth street,
that city.

when the postmaster general

DO you have any commit
ments which would prevent you
from voting for this bill?" Far
ley asked Secrest.
eyes" replied the congress
man, 'I've talked against it all
over my district"
"Then by all means vote the
way you have talked" said Far
ley, and since that time they
have been close friends.
A check-up of election figures
shows that Secrest ran far ahead
of his ticket on Nov. 2. He Sc
cured 1921 more votes in the
district than did Frank J. Lau-
sche for governor, and 10,518
more than President Truman. He
also Jared better than Thomas E.
Dewey for president and Thomas
J. Herbert for governor, both of
whom carried the traditionally
Republican district by substan-
tial margins.
Secrest carried the district. by
10,085 votes, Dewey by 1914 and
Herbert by SOL.

mollShed and the. body burned
beyond recognition. Witnesses
said that Cochran had been
flying low and stunting over the
camp for some time prior to the
crash.
Wife Watches
The accident occurred late on
Thanksgiving afternoon at the
trailer camp which Carl Ogle
operates in conjunction with his
restaurant south of Dexter City
on Route 81. The plane landed
about SO yards from the pilots
wife and narrowly escaped
crashing into other trailers scat
tered throughout the camp.
Death is believed to have been
caused by the crash rather than
the flames, since the planes mo-
tor was driven back into the
cockpit when it struck the earth.

Owner O'Neill, of Marietta,
saidNthe plane had been flown
only Is hours since it had its last
100-hour check and was in excel

New Generator
Needed AT Plant
Board OF Affairs
Discuss Purchase

The Caldwell Board of Pub
lie Affairs met Tuesday evening
at the city hall to discuss plans
for the purchase of a new gener-
ator for the city power plant.
Two representatives of the
Fairbanks-Morse Co, Cleveland,
attended the meeting in the in
terests of their company and dis
cussed power situation here.
Paul w. Elwell, Cleveland en-
gineer, now employed by the vii
lage of Woodsfield, was also
present and outlined power needs
for the village.
1t is understood that members
of the board of public affairs
will meet with the council next
Tuesday evening. At this time
the board hopes to receive per-
mission from the council to hire
an engineer. This must be done
before plans for the new power
plant can progress beyond the
embryo stage.
The need of a new generator
at the plant has been felt for
some time by the local engineers,
since the plant is now carrying
a capacity load and has, been for
some time. -... H.
A check at the local city hall
shows that a bond issue would
not be necessary to make the
purchase.

DR.. Don Williams of Mari
eta was called Immediately
by the grief-stricken father.
The physician said that the
deaths were accidental and caus-
ed from carbon monoxide pois-
oning.
Flames High
Mr.. Schoeppner said that when
he left for Marietta about $50
a m, Friday, the floor burner
was turned on low in the living
room of the home, where the
three deaths occurred. When he
returned, he said the flames
were burning unusually high.
Nearby wallpaper was scorched
and smoke had blackened the
ceilings in the living room and
adjoining kitchen.
The husband said that when
he entered the home he did not
Immediately notice anything
wrong, except that it seemed un-
usually hot in the room.
SIumped in Chair
Mrs. Schoeppner, who was
fully clothed, was slumped in a
chair before the fire. The body
of the girl was on the floor as if
she had fallen from her mothers
lap. The body of the boy lay
near the stove. In an adjoining
room, near the front door, the
children's small dog also was
dead.
Sleeping Attire
The children were still in their
sleeping attire. This led Mr.
Schoeppner to believe that their
deaths OCCURRED sometime i'm the
morning.
DR.. Williams took a Marietta
fireman and a resuscitator with
him. They arrived to find Mr.
Schoeppner administering arti
ficial respiration. The resuscitat-
or was used to no avail and Mrs.
Schoeppner was pronounced
dead.

The Harriettsville native told
DR.. Williams that he thought he
detected a faint pulse on his
wife when he. arrived at 4:45
o'clock. The Marietta physician
