The area within thirty miles Of
Fort Loramie, at the junction of
Routes sc and 705, has been of
utmost importance in turn to the
Indians, the French, the British,
the pioneer Americans, the early
builders of our canals and roads
and those modern Ohioans seeking
outdoor recreation.
This highest land in western
Ohio holds the headwaters of the
south-f1owing Great Miami and
the Scioto Rivers, the famed Wa
bash River of Indiana, and the st.
Marys and the Auglaize Rivers
that roll north and northwest to
form the Maumee River whose
mouth is at Toledo on Lake Erie.
Here also are the great reser-
voirs that supplied water for lock-
age on the Miami and Erie Canal
Lake st. Marys, Lake Loramie,
and Indian Lake where state parks
accommodate vacationers in large
number. This year the state, in
preparing for these vacationers,
has cleared and dredged the lakes,
stoned the driveways, planted new.
trees, converted fallen trees into
firewood for the many outdoor
freplaces in the parks and pre-
pared increased parking facilities
for motorists.
Back in 1869, the French-Ca-
madam trader, Peter Loramie,
built his post and stockade at this
busy crossroads, and gave his
name to a creek, a town and lake.
Twenty years earlier, in l749, the
first point of British occupation in
the Ohio Country was established
as an English trading post at the
Indian village, Pickawillany on
Route sc at the junction of Lor-
annie Creek and the Great Miami
River above Piqua. This spot was
familiar to the military leaders of
Paris and London two centuries
ago.
The destruction of Pickawillany
in 1852 by the French marked the
real start of the French and Indian
War that ended by cession of Can
ada and New France to Great
Britain by the Treaty of Paris in
1763..

Montgomery Council
Studies Advisabi|ity oi
Tax Court Appeal

The Montgomery County Council
disclosed today that 1t is considering
the advisability of establishing a
tax appeal court with jurisdiction
over all assessments within the
county.
At a conference last night the
Council members decided to intro
duce such measure at its next
regular meeting Tuesday. 1t is un-
likely that final action will be taken
then but the new system probably
will be approved in the near future
The Council proposes to take ad-
vantage of a provision in a 194a
State law authorizing Montgomery
and Baltimore Counties to shift the
tax assessment wrok from county
commissioners to a special board
Baltimore County already has
adopted the plan.
Under the proposed system, the
appeal tax court consisting Of three
members appointed by the Council
would have final authority over each
assessment. Heretofore this has
been prerogative of the county
commissioners and-under the Char
ter-of the County Council.
Councilman j. Douglas Bradshaw
of Takoma Park explained that the
Legislature provided for the tax
court in Baltimore and Montgomery
Counties to relieve the commissions
ers or Council of large volume o1
work in urban sections. He said the
tax court system also helps to re-
move an important governmental
function from the influence of poll
tics.

Immediate Drive Set
By Clio 10 Unionize
Store Workers Here

A CIO drive to unionize statesmen,
clerks and other unorganized en-
ployes of Washington department
stores and large retail clothing
establishments will begin immedi-
ately, officials of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers of America dis
closed here today.
| This will be part of Nation
wide campaign by the union to
sign up potential field" of 100000
such employees. Key organizers,
meeting in a closed session at the
Raleigh Hotel to map the drive, dis
closed that the unions Executive
Board has been asked to allocate
81 100000 for the organizing effort.
Washington has a dozen major
department stores and almost $50
other comparatively large retail
clothing stores as well as chains.
The Nation wide drive, organizers
indicated, is a CIO effort to outstrip
the AFL and other unions in that
field.
"No Idea" of Total Here.
Pending a survey of the situation
here, organizers declared they have
no idea" of the number of retail
store employees in the group they
hope to unionize or how many may
have joined other unions. Estimates
of the unorganized total in Wash
ington ranged all the way from 5000
to $4,000.
First organizing work here will
be limited mainly to department
stores and chains, it was said.
Hundreds of employees of depart
ment and retail clothing stores here
and elsewhere already belong to
labor unions such as those for cloth
ing alteration and repair workers,
teamsters and some types Of serv-
ice employees.
The Amalgamated Clothing Work

GI Amputee Refe|Is
Story Of Neglect at
Prison Doctors Trial
BY O Sfar Siaff Correspondent,

FORT MEADE, Md, Jan. 2s.-A
soldier with both legs amputated
below the knee was recalled on his
wheel chair today at the court
martial of Capt. Joel G. Holmes, jr,
to retell his story of neglect while
prisoner in solitary confinement
in an Army camp at Wurzburg,
Germany, during the bitter winter
of 1946-47.
Pvt. Joseph Suggs, 2S, colored, of
Proctor, Ark, declared that he re-
ported his feet were frozen and
asked for medical attention at least
twice during the week he was con-
fined on bread and water. He said
he was running a fever and suffer.
ing from diarrhea, and realized Q
few days after his confinement that
his feet were freezing.
His efforts to get medical atten-
ton, Pvt. Suggs said, were futile
and he never once saw Capt. Holmes,
who was the stockade medical Of
ficer at the time. He testified today
as rebuttal witness.
| The soldier is learning to walk at
Walter Reed Hospital with the aid
of artificial limbs.
Three Others Accused.
The court-martial has been in
progress here for the last fortnight.
Final arguments are to be heard
this afternoon.
Three of Capt. Holmes superior
officers at Wurzburg also are &C.
cused of neglecting the welfare Of
troops. They will be tried sepa.
rately next week.
Pvt. Suggs was hospitalized for
two weeks in the winter of 1945 as
the result of trench foot suffered on
duty with the combat engineers.
Victims of trench foot are espe.
cially susceptible to cold.
Pvt. Suggs was sentenced to six
months after he damaged a Gov,
ernment truck. A later inquiry.
cleared him of the traffic charge.
Finding on Injury Reversed.
While serving sentence, however, J.
he was assigned to solitary con-
finecent by Maj. Joseph w. Burt
chaell, prison battalion commander.
Pvt. Suggs claimed his only offense
was lateness in reporting to forma-
ton because he was weak.
Maj. Burtchaell, who flew here
from California today as a final
defense witness, testified that he
had committed Pvt. Suggs to soli-
tary for five offenses, but was un-
able to recall the specific counts.
Maj. Burtchaell told the court
he reported the soldiers injury was
due to his own misconduct. This
finding later was reversed and Pvt.
Suggs record was changed by di-
rection of the adjutant general to
show he was injured in line of
duty.
This finding will enable the SOL
dier to obtain a pension for disa-
bility after he is discharged from
the ArmV.

Sawyer Tells Hearing
Export Curbs Are Vital
To Back Foreign Policy
By ChoImers M. Roberts

Secretary of Commerce Sawyer
declared today there is ian increas-
ing need" for a 28-month extension
Of export controls to back up "the
national security and our foreign
policy" as we'll as to help control
imitation at home.
He testified before the Senate
Banking Committee on the measure,
the third point in President Tru-
mans eight-point anti-infation
program. The present export con-
trolls expire February %.
The Secretary stressed the effect
of controls over such scarce items
as metals and machinery on foreign
policy. He said priority on exports
now is given Marshall Plan nations.
He said it may be possible to al
low unlimited exports of grain and
coal later this year. But he testified
that by the end of the proposed 28-
month extension the Marshall Plan
may have helped Western Europe to
position of stability that would
lessen the risks.
Loveland Stresses Imitation.
Undersecretary of Agriculture A.
J. Loveland. in a statement to the
committee, stressed the domestic in
f1ation angle in declaring:
Removal of export controls could
turn loose a demand for United
States commodities in short world
supply which, in turn, would in
fate the prices of these commodi-
ties"
Little opposition is expected to
this measure or to the extension of
the voluntary ALLEGATION program,
already approved by the Senate and
House Banking Committees and due
for floor action in each house next
week.
Trouble Expected.
But there have been indications
that the anti-inf1ation program will
run into trouble when the more con-
troversial points come up for COM
mittee approval-especially manda-
tory ALLEGATION authority and stand
by price and wage controls. The
latest drop in cost-of-living figures
is certain to add strength to those
who oppose mandatory authority, it
was indicated today.
Representative Wolcott, the Mich
igan Republican who, as chairman
of the House Banking Committee in
the 80th Congress helped to block
administration efforts to obtain
such powers, said yesterday some
pretty good economists have told me
we should be giving attention to a
depression rather than imitation"
While Democratic members of the
two Banking Committees have been
reluctant to speak out against the
Truman ,program. several on both
committees have said privately they
are worried over whether such man.
datory measures might provide the
Psychological push to plunge the
country into a recession or worse.
Chairman Spence of the House
Banking Committee indicated yes
terday the administration plan will
be to put the long-range anti-inf1a-
ton powers into one bill. He added,
however, that such a measure won't
be another OPA for peacetime pur-
poses, only standby authority to use
IL necessary"
/ He added that the administration
would "of course, exercise persua-
ssi6n first before imposing controls. "
