HONG KONG, Oct. 19.-Chi-
nese Communists gave signs to-
day of getting ready to invade the
Nationalist air and naval base of
Chusan, $50 miles down the coast
from Red-occupied Shanghai.
Nationalist intelligence Offices at
Taipeh, Formosa. said Red Gen.
Chen vi has mustered a large
force for an amphibious assault
on the main island of the Chusan
archipelago.
Invasion craft-junks and fish
ing vessels-dotted the smaller is
lands which the Reds have taken
in leapfrog campaign. The OBJ
jective is to knock out the base
for Nationalist air raids and naval
blockade of the Shanghai and
Ningpo areas. The Reds already
control the nearly 1,000-mile
coastline from Canton to Shang-
hal.
Nationalist sources said Chen

To The Voters of Dickinson
And Buchanan Counties:

To The Voters of Dickinson
And Buchanan Counties:
l will not be able to see and
tlak with all the voters Of these
two counties before the coming
election. My travels will be linn
tied, as my financial standing
will not permit it. Following are
some of the things that will make
our State and county a better
place in which to live. That
should be the aim of every citi-
zen-do something to make our
home, our community, our coun-
ty, our state and nation a better
place in which to live. l think
by setting forth some of my plans
and aims to the people of these
counties, we can become acquaint
ed. That is something that we
need, if we become acquainted,
know each others problems and
aims, if we really wish to build
our counties we can do so by
working together.
Something must be done to re-
lieve the overcrowded conditions
that exist in our schools, and to
help our overworked, underpaid
teachers. We can do this problem
if we work together, without put
ing an unnecessary burden on
anyone. l believe in free text
books in the public schools.
We need more funds for our
highways. We must have it. I
still contend that we are not get
ting our share of the gasoline tax.
The ALLEGATION method is unfair.
Some of you who doubt this state
ment, I advise you Ito get copy
of the ALLEGATIONS for the fiscal
year ending 1850, get census re-
port ON the population. Compare
our county and Buchanan County
with some of the counties of the
eastern part of the state. 1 think
that will be enough to convince
you where our money is going.
l believe in the abolition of the
poll tax as prerequisite to vot-
ing. l am afraid of the amend
lltCilt W bG NOtSO VII NlllS 1dll. 1
think it would disfranchise more
of our voters, and would certain
ly put burden on the people be-
cause there would be central

DC. Draws Up Checks
To Speed Retroactive
Pay on Signing Of Bill

District employees will begin to
receive their $3.50 retroactive pay
within a few days after President
Truman signs the bill granting the
money.
The measure has just been
passed by the House Appropria-
tions Committee and still faces
House and Senate action.
A. r. Pilkerton, District Auditor,
said his staff is auditing the pay
rolls and preparing checks for
Disbursing Officer j. j. Krohr
The average check will be about
$3.50. after income tax and an
nuity deductions.
So far, about 3,7O0 checks have
been processed, Mr.. Pilkerton said,
and more would have been pre-
pared if District department heads
had submitted their payrolls. The
auditor explained he had asked
for these payrolls last month, but
several departments still have not
sent them in. Still another delay,
he said, resulted from errors made
by some department heads in
computing the amount of back
pay due employees.
An effort will be made to pay
all employees the retroactive sal
ary by check, but some will have
to be paid in cash. This is par
ticularly true of Department of
Sanitation employees.
While it is expected to have all
the checks audited by the time the
President signs the deficiency bill,
they will not be sent to the Dis
bursing Office for signature until
after the bill is signed. Under the
law, no check may he signed un-
til the bill appropriating the
money actually has become law.
The Commissioners have grant
ed Mr.. Pilkerton permission to pay
overtime to his clerks engaged in
making out and auditing the
checks, but so far there has only
been one day when overtime was
required.

Direct Relief
Load Is Cut In
Noble County
June Relief Will
Hit $1,739.5O, Says
Director TiltOn

A drastic reduction in the re-
lief payroll for Noble county was
made during the month of May
according to Jimmy Tilton, coun-
ty welfare director, who only re-
Gently completed his first year
of service in that capacity. --....4
A savings of over 5000 was
made in the cut according to fig
ures released by Mr.. Tilton.
Some nine persons were dropped
from the relief rolls during the
month and only two were added.
Most of the savings will be
reflected in the cash payroll fund
which is, in reality, the county's
only direct relief fund.
In reducing the number on the
relief payroll the welfare direct
or dropped six clients from Noble
township. One former client
from Stock township was cut
from the payroll. Two from Gen.
ter township will no longer re-
ceive relief checks.
During the first four months
of l949, the relief load has been
continually increasing. According
to officials, this as due, in part,
to lay-offs in the coal industry.
Most of the independent jobbers
did not make social security pay
ments and therefore were ineli-
gible for unemployment benefits.
The June budget has been
compiled according to the well
fare director and will total ap-
proximately $1,73950. This fig
ure does not include relief orders
filled for groceries.
Of the $1,739.50 relief load for
the month of June, $698 of the
amount is earmarked for the di-
rect relief of cash payroll fund.
Some 20 persons still remain on
direct relief despite the May re-
ductions.
The county welfare depart
ment has "a persons listed as
drawing checks for mothers pen
sions. During June, $3.50 will be
spent to care for families draw
ing a mothers pension.
Only five blind pensions are
now being paid according to fig
ures. The payment of blind pen
sions will cost the welfare de-
partment $182.50 next month.
During June, Mr.. Tilton said ap-
proximately eight relief orders
will be filled.
