NEW YORK, N. Y.--Develop-
ment of new insecticide materials
which have a special interest to
farmers because of their COM
plete Lack of toxicity to man and
animals, making them the only
materials suitable fM certain VII
tally important far1n needs, has
been announced by u. S. Indus
trial Chemicals, Inc. Insecticides
made from them are rapidly be-
coming available through the u.s.
ual marketing channels.
The effectiveness Of insecticides
made from these new materials
not only makes possible improve
ment OF present farm practices
but likewise permits their use in
new and important fields of in
sect control heretofore untouched
because no products have been
available which combined safety,
effectiveness and economy to a
practical extent.
The two new chemicals, piper
onyl butoxide and piperonyl cy-
clonene, have no appreciable tox-
ic hazards. Their effectiveness is
enormously increased by their
use in combination with the
equally safe pyrethrum and the
almost equally safe and familiar

Union County's
Court will Hear
Case from London
Fair Trial Impossible
Before Madison Jury.
judge Bell Declares

On motion of the defense, Judge
James F. Bell of Madison County,
has ordered transferred to the
Union County Court for trial, the
case of the State VS.. Oren Peters,
London, indicted on statutory
charge.
Trial of the case, formerly slat-
ed for May 6, here, is expected
to be conducted within the ensu-
ing two weeks before the Union
County court.
In requesting transfer of the
case, in a motion recently filed
here, Defense Counsel Deane NJ.
Richmond contended a fair and
impartial trial was Impossible in
Madison county.
Judge Bell is ruling on the mo-
ton stated in part:
THE motion is supported by at
fidavit of the defendant and by at
fidaVits of three disinterested per
sons, all of whom say under oath
that fair and impartial triad can
not be had in Madison county. The
motion was filed under authority
of Section l3427-l of the General
Code
''The granting of a motion for
change Of venue in cases such as
this rests in the discretion of the
Court. And the Courts decision
should be based on evidence pre-
sented to support the motion. But
the Court is not SO far from being
human that it can separate the
paper evidence from his own
awareness of the sentiment that is
eXtant in this community con-
cerning this case. Hardly day
passed since the indictment was
has passed since the indictment
was returned but that someone
has approached the Court and
said: did you know so-and-so
said" CT did you hear such and
such about the deefndant?" And
the remarks have not been con-
fined altogether to the defendant
or to the prosecuting witness,
They have likewise beer directed
toward the integrity of TIE Pros
ecuting Attorney and the Court.
"The Court does not recall any
matter in the last several years
that has caused such widespread
expressions of sentiment. Whether
the murmurings are those of the
morbidly curious of the idle pratt
tie of malicious gossip, the Court
is of the opinion that sentiment is
so cryStalized concerning the de-
fendant and the prosecuting wit
ness that it would be impossible to
in this county.
"The clerk is therefore ordered
to make a certified transcript OF
the proceedings in this case and
transmit the same, together with
the original indictment, to the
Clerk of Courts of Union County,
Ohio, for further proceedings ac-
cording to law"

Because of this, he stated, an

A little item that may have consider
able political significance seems to have
been largely ignored by progressives.
It's an article that appeared in The
Nation magazine recently. The Nation,
by the way, has been consistently fight
ing the Progressive Party and the Wal
lace candidacy, claiming that it's all
Communist plot.
But in the article in question, report
on the Progressive national convention
by Howard K Smith, chief of the CHS
European news staff, that stale smear is
fatty contradicted.
Smith says that ''the Philadelphia
convention indicated that the new
party has far deeper roots in American
realities than it has been given credit
for,' Judging from his frst-hand OBJ
servations at the convention.

And all this appeared in magazine
whose viewpoint is frequently identical
with that of the pro-Truman Americans

NOTES: One of the questions we've
never had an answer to concerns Ben
Feldman, the little man who's every
where. Ben is public relations director
for the Illinois Liquor Control Commits
sion and the Illinois Commerce Com
mission. But he's not usually at either
place. Most of the time you can find
him at COP headquarters, where he's
also public relations director. So here's
the unanswered question: Does Feldman
get paycheck from each of those three
offices? Or does the state use the two
commission jobs to pay him off for his
COP work? %.

the very foundations of American
life.
In the wild Twenties and Thirties
there were some machine-gun gangs
from Cicero that tried to lay down
the law to Illinois citizens. In the
cold-war Forties, their descendants
in action tell the $4,000 Illinoisans
who signed Progressive Party petit
tons that they must give up their
rights of citizenship-their right to
vote for the candidates of their
choice. A three-man board, without
even the mandate of an elective
body, tells the people of Abe Lin
coins and John Altgeld's state that
they may not vote for the only po-
itical party built on program of
peace.
No, this is not America And the
eggs that could help build children's
bodies are wasted on a body long
since grown strong on good Iowa
corn. The stones cast upon Curtis

justihably can put personal security
or comfort ahead of his obligation
to democracy. That I can be among
those able to apply this principle to
his own life is source of pride"
THIS is mot the America that
i thousands died for in the last
war. Our America was built by men
who wrote freedom into the consti-
tuition of the land. Our America
was built by men who saw that a
bounteous land, yet unharvested,
could produce a secure and album
dant life for every citizen.

Ter and Goebbels envisioned This is
the America that men bent on the
profits of war, and threats Of war,
must have.
&c. Waving the flag with one
hand and plundering the public with
the other is form of patriotism that
is getting entirely too common. =. !"

attempt to impose government by

WELL, Governor Altgeld hit the
w bullseye then; and his words
contain the core of truth for this
day. The fag-waving Republicans
and Democrats would, and must,
divert the peoples attention from
their expenditure of 800 of the
total US. budget on .war-related
projects. They must divert attention
lest an aroused people inquire too
closely, and see too clearly, who are
the men who hold the reins of both
old parties.

Green will fight against the arbi-
trary ruling of the election board.
It's doubtful that Curly Brooks will
think free elections in Illinois as
important as free elections in Po-
land. It's unlikely that the papa
hag-waver of them all, the Chicago
Tribune, will, this time, invoke the
First Amendment.
DUT l know that the citizens of
ID Illinois-and millions of Amer
leans in every other state cannot,
and will not, tolerate reducing the
ballot to a meaningless scrap of
paper They will not tolerate Hit
ler's vision of America. They, and
every resource of the Progressive
Party, will be modified to fight for
the America of Lincoln's and Alt
geld's vision and hope.
1t is appropriate that The Standard
should be born at this time. Amer
ica's first newspaper, suppressed after
the first issue, was founded when
the first STRINGS of British oppres-
sion were becoming felt by the Amer
lean colonists. Suppression, | hope,
will not be the fate of The Standard.
Rather, I know, you will approve

we will not retreat a single inch

actually thought the Progressive Party
had failed to put up enough signatures.
When the two Republicans and the
one Democrat who made up the Illinois
electoral board ruled the Progressive
Party off the November ballot, every
body understood what had happened;
Bosses of the two old parties had gotten
together to knife the new party the
party of the people that threatened to
sweep away their power.
1t was something more than a
smart political trick that went on
behind the closed doors in Spring
field. 1t was Republican and Demo-
crat, divided only by rivalry for
jobs, suddenly uniting against the
threat of progress. This was bI-
partisan reaction at work.
1t was bipartisan reaction directed
from Chicago. New York, and Washing
ton. stepping in to say that the people
of Illinois could not legally vote for the
party and the candidates of their choice.
1t was bipartisan reaction deCreeing
that the people of Illinois could have
the freedom to vote only for the candi-
dates of bipartisan reaction.
1t was bipartisan reaction seeking to
make one party the Republocrats
the only legal party in Abraham Lin
coins state.
The men who thought they could
knife democracy in Illinois, like the men
who thought they could bomb Pearl
Harbor, made big mistake.
They forgot the democratic power of
tie people.
This, the Progressive Party in
Illinois does not forget :. it under
stands that inere has been democ-
racy and freedom in this country
only because the millions of COM
mon people have always stood up
and fought back when blind and
arrogant men sought to steal their
liberties.
This denial strikes at the very core of
our democratic system. The right to be
on the ballot is inherent in our repre-
sentative form of government.
The people of Illinois will stand up
and fight back against this sneaking con-
spiracy to rob them of the free ballot.
Their indignation will pour out smok-
ing hot at the great Wrigley Field rally
planned for Henry Wallace on the night
of September A. 1t will write letters to
the editors throughout the length and
breadth of the state 1t will sign petitions
and organize neighborhood meetings. 1t
can make victory possible in the court
fight for justice.
The fight to restore Wallace and
TAYLOR to the ballot will have the sup
port of every believer in democracy and
integrity. Especially it will have the sup
port of labor which can recognize IN the
attack on the Progressive Party an attack
on its own rights and its own program.
Especially it will have the sup
port of the Negro people who know
that rotten decisions against Wal
lace in Illinois, like rotten eggs in
North Carolina, are aimed against
their rights and their hopes.
The bosses who tried to kill democracy
the other day in Springfield will live to
