 Day Due

A meeting of owners of local businesses will be held within 2 weeks to form plans for a Hospi- tai Day. The project will be sponsored by the Chamber of Commelee.
 Tentative plans call for local stores to donate 1O% of the gross rece pts for day ol a certain month. or 5% for 2 days into a common fund. The proceeds will be used to purchase an elec- tro cardiograph for Griffin Mem. oral Hospital.
 The group hopes to raise 5000 The ca, diograph will cost ap- proximately $500 and if the goal Is met, a bronchoscope and other small equipment will be purch- ased.
 The addition of these items to the hospital will practically com. plete it's equipment and make 1t the most modern in the territory.
 The equipment has not been purchased in the past with regu lar hospital funds because the de- mand for 1t is small, Dr. A Holmes Johnson said. However, when such equipment is needed, it's availsbili here will mean much time-saving since it would not have to be flown from some. where else.
 This will be the first local campaign to raise funds for the hospital since it was built.
 The day chosen for the drive. the stores participating, and complete details will be publish ed following the meeting of the business men.
 Dr. Johnson and Dr. c. c. Bailey will select the type of e quipment and will aid the group on other matters.

 The Chamber approved the

to hold it. The strips in this area were 6 and Q
rods wide. In the distance, land in the same area
could be seen in wide strips, with stubble strips
only a few rods wide separating them. Despite
the narrow stripping, there was evidence of a
little blowing on some of this land. Even in the
face of this evidence another landowner had just
broken up more land adjoining these strips and
was farming it in one large block.
The owner doing the stripping had home
steaded on this land years ago and had watched
it blow during the dry years and knew what
could happen. He knew that if a blocked field
was lost by sawfly damage, hail or blowing there
was nothing left for the next ear-no just one
years production gone but the next also. And
if blowing caused any serious damage, the pro-
ductivity for many years had blown out of the
soil.
A little farther on We saw the results of blow
ing during the drouth of 10 years or more ago,
still visible along a fence. Soil and weeds were
still there piled four wires high at the end of a
field that had, since those unfortunate years, been
strip cropped. Despite this visible evidence of
what would happen, the owner had once again
gone to block farming this land.

NORTH VALLEY COUNTY FARMERS
JOIN FORCES TO CHECK EROSION"-This
was the headline for the feature story in the
man.
The situation as il existed then is shown
in the pictures below. "a similar situation seen
developing in the same county last summer is
ject for the accompanying storY). The story
tells of farmers. business men and government
agencies joining forces to keep the light top
soil of the area from blowing into drifts along
fence rows or into neighboring states.
The Glasgow Chamber of Commerce pre-
sented a program of strip listing in which
farmers would be supplied with machines pro-
viding the farmers would carry out the list
inc program under the supervision of the soil
conservation service.
Listing was started on a basis of 80 feet of
crop and 80 feet of listing. but the width of
strips was extended to so feet where blowing
was less likely. The listers were kept going
night and day. with the result that 5000 acres
were treated. providing effective control OF
blowing on some $1,000 acres.
Two top photos below show drifts along
fence lines and layer of blow sand which COW
cred most of the area to a depth OF approx
matelY z inches. Bottom picture shows a three
way basin lister at work in the attempt TO con-
trol blowing. (Photos courtesy of Charles jar

in the dust drift up to the third wire on the fence

Middle photo-Weeds now cover this fence-line top

For over 10 years this field had been strip cropped
TO keep from repeating such a disaster. but this year
il was back in one block of grain.

lem is still strip cropping and here are some 6 and

AFL Ready To
Back Lousche
Against Taft

Cleveland (LPA) - Winding ur
its Cleveland meeting last week
the AFL executive council promis-
ed Sen. Robert A. Taft Or, Ohio)
the hardest fight of his career
when he comes up for reelection
next year.
Both President William Green
and Cleveland Federation of Labor
President John Burns tempted
Mayor Thomas A. Burke of Cleve-
land to enter the race against Taft,
but Burke said he's not candi-
date. s.
Joseph eenan, chairman OF
LLPE-the AFL's political arm
then declared that "when the chips
are down" the AFL will support
Gov. Frank Lausche CD against
the daddy of the Taft Hartley law.
Everybody I've talked to, in
cluding AFL leaders and Ohio lib
erals, feels Lausche is the strong
est candidate against Taft" kee-
nan said.
Anybody who undertakes Taft
is crazy" keenan, warned. taft
has a lot of ability. He's tough
candidate and a tough campaign
er."
keenan, recalled that Lausche
has had some run-ins with organiz-
ed labor during his political career,
but. said the AFL was willing to
overlook these if Lausche makes
a pro-labor race against the Sen
ate Republican leader.
President Green invited all gen.
timely liberal groups, particularly
Americans for Democratic Action,
to join with the AFL for an early
start in the fight against Taft.

years. He came to East Liverpool
in 1922 when he secured room

Textile Workers
Will Not Sfund
Any Woge Cuts

Atlanta (LPA)-Textile Work
ers Union will not seek general
wage raises this year but it will
not accept any wage cuts, union
president Emil Rieve announced
after a TWUA executive council
meeting here.
"There will be no wage reduc-
tions in the textile industry if we
can help it," Rieve declared. "lf
that means strike, then it means
strike"
Shortly thereafter in New York,
a possible strike against four car
pet mills for 15c raise and other
benefits was postponed from May
81 until June 5 when the rug COM
panies agreed to extend their con-
tracts until that date. The carpet
manufacturers have offered to re-
new their present agreements for
one year.
Other actions of the unions ex-
ecutive council meeting included
call upon Congress to enact the
fair deal program and not adjourn
until the job is finished. TWUA
urged members to write to their
congressman. The council also went
on record for extension of recipro-
cal trade agreements and urged in
vestigation of economic policies in
Japan.
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1949-06-02

The President, on the other hand,
declared that he had not agreed to
i the shelving of other items in his
program-like minimum wage law
improvement, social security exten-
sion and tax reform. Furthermore,
he said that Congress should stay
on the job thru August to finish its
work. He stressed the Importance
of passing new tax bill.
Besides saying that the Senate
will act on the three must" bills,
Lucas had stated earlier in the
week that there is some chance of
pushing thru a flat increase in the
minimum wage, but no hope for ex-
tending minimum wage law cover
age.
Another bill which Lucas pre-
dicted would be passed is mea-
sure curbing the power of the Fed
eral Trade Commission to prose
cute businesses using the basing
point price system.
At least one tangible result from
labor's, protest against Luca s
statement was recorded last week
the Senate leader declared that
Taft Hartley repeal would be given
priority over North Atlantic pact
ratification.

NEW BRIBERY TRIES
IEVELED AT DAILIES

Washington (LPA) - Amer
ica's press was in a dither this
week over charges of corruption
and bribery in its own ranks. High
lights were these:
(1) The American Society of
Newspaper Editors launched an
investigation of the Illinois "gravy
train" scandal-that is, of dis
closures that 81 editors, publishers
and writer's on newspapers in the
sucker state had secretly been on
the state payroll and drawn total
of $4S0,OOO.
(2) The California Newspaper
Publishers Assn screamed a denial
of charges that its members had
been "bribed" to crusade against
state health insurance in return for
paid lads" from the California
Medical Assn.
(3) Editor and Publisher, trade
magazine of the press, quoted Il
new boast by Glenn Whitaker--dir-
ector of the American Medical AS
sociation's drive against health in
surance-that newspapers in Cal
ifornia came through handsomely
on printing the propaganda of or
ganized medicine after they were
rewarded with advertising con-
tracts.
(4) New York and Florida were
added to the states in which it was
revealed that newsmen were priv
ately on state payrolls serving in
cumbent political administrations,
while presumably doing impartial
writing for their papers.
The press scandal in Illinois re-
mained the biggest of the lot. Pre-
sident Ben M. McKelway of the
Society of Newspaper Editors de-
clared an inquiry into that situa-
tion had been authorized by the
society's board of directors and
would take about two months to
wind up.
All of the 81 Illinois newsmen
got their money from the state
treasury during the regime of
former Governor Dwight Green,
who was keynoter at the last COP
convention. Some of those who had
been on the Green gravy train"
claimed they earned their pay, but
others frankly admitted they were
paid simply to run publicity puffs
in their papers for the Green ma
chine.
Meantime, the Inland Daily
Press Ass'n-which includes many
of the accused newsmen among it's
members and officers-wound up
its annual spring meeting in Chic
ago without taking any action on
the scandal at its own doorstep.
President M. M. Oppegard said
the association decided it was in no
position to make any comment
without a thorough investigation

ACWA ATTACKS
LUCAS RETREAT

New York LPA)-Advance,
the official paper of the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers of
America in an editorial ap-
pearing this week, sums up the
reaction of most unionists to
Democratic Senate Floor Lead
er Scott Lucas retreat from
the Fair Deal program.
Challenging Lucas conten-
ton that the Congress is NOV
ing along "and making better
than average progress" Ad-
vance notes it's failure to take
any real action on minimum
wages, health insurance, hous-
ing, civil rights, and tax re
form legislation.
with so much important
legislation still on the calendar
there is no reason for Con-
gress to adjourn on July 81.
If the Fair Deal program is
not put into law by that time,
Congress, by all standards of
decency, must stay in session
until the legislation is passed."
ACWA believes.

Senate Leader
Scott Lucas
In Dog House

Washington (LPA) = Sena e
Democratic Floor Leader Scott
Lucas Qll.) was in the dog house
last week.
Not only have unions and liberal
organizations like Americans for
Democratic Action attacked his de-
featist statement that only three
more major bills can receive Sen
ate approval this session, but Pres
ident Truman himself has repudi-
ated Lucas Interpretation of the
White House position.
In addition to saying that only
Taft Hartley repeal, the North At
lantic Pact, and the reciprocal
trade agreements bill will come
before the Senate during the last
two months of the session, Lucas,
and Speaker of the House Sam
Rayburn, insisted that Congress
must adjourn by July 81. Lucas
implied that Truman agreed.

among them or other unfair prac-
tices. The net results, so far as the
public and the industry itself, of a
live and let live" situation, might
be the same as the results of an
unlawful combination or agree
ment".
AS an example, Flanders told
the story of how his own machine
tool company had produced a ma
chine and a process which cut the
cost of production of parts for big
manufacturers The machine and
the process were sold to a small
company making parts for a big
company, which expected to get
some reward for its initiative in
putting this new device into opera
tion. Instead, Flanders said, the
big company insisted on a cut in
prices to which the little company
had to agree.
Conceding that the trend toward
monopolistic size, carried to it's
logical conclusion, would le d
either to regulated monopoly or
government control, and that such
political repercussions cannot be
avoided" because "vast economic
empires, so closely tied into the
lives of the citizens of the country,
will be a perpetual incitement to
government control of some sort" +"
Flanders offered a suggestion.
He proposed that big business, in
it's own interest, recognize the sit
uation and voluntarily break itself
up into smaller units before the
government has to take action.
Pleading with the managers of big
business to consider his proposal,
Flanders said: might not volun-
tary separation into smaller COM
panies be worth considering? Ger
Itainly it is preferable to compul-
sorry separation which may be the
alternative"
Flanders has a good idea here.
But Pm afraid it won't get very
far. From all | can find out big
business has been doing everything
it could to get even bigger. 1t has
been using much of its swollen
profits to buy out the little COM
NAMES MuVbe. Senator. tha answer
is that the corporations are just
doing this to increase efficiency of
small business. If We'll just be pat
lent and let these public spirited
business executives handle the stu
alton we will soon have one great
big company that is the most eff
cient in the world-just like Hit
ler's.
