July August
Relief Load Down
But Director Expects
Rise During Winter

Relief load in Union County
for August was slightly above
July but both months were con-
siderable below the June outlay,
according to figures released by
Mrs. Katherine Dennis, head of
the local relief office.
Total of 81 cases were taken
care of during August at a cost
of S209069 and l3 new applica-
tions were made.
In July, So cases were handled
through the local office at a cost
of $1982.49 to the county. AS in
August, 13 new applications were
received.
Earlier in the summer, last
June, SO cases were handled
through Mrs. Dennis office at a
cost of S2260.83. There were 19
new applicants that month.
These figures do not include
medical aid, since these bills
usually come in long after the aid
was given and are not accurate
in month-by-month totals.
Mrs. Dennis expects the re-
lief load to rise again this winter
due to decrease in job openings
and other causes.

Complete Polio Treatment Center
Proposed for Magnetic Springs

Mr.. Strapp pointed out that
there were 10000 cases of infan-
tile paralysis in the United States
this year. He said that Ohio
alone has had $500 cases, almost
twice the previous all-time high.
Mr.. Grocer said that he could
see no reason why polio center
could not be constructed in Mag
netic Springs that in time would
be the equal of the Warm Springs
center in every way.
He stressed the fact that the
center must begin in a very
small way but that the possibil-
ties are almost unlimited. Five
acres of ground in the Village of
Magnetic have already been of
fered as site for the proposed
hospital.
1t was decided that a commit
tee should be appointed to study
the hospital plan and make more
definite arrangement. w h e n
the project is better organized
chairmen of other counties will
be called into help plan a fund
raising campaign.

Along the Potomac
to Washington
BY J. Glenn Beall
Congressman Sixth District

On October 27, President Truman,
at the request of the Navy Secretary
Francis P. Matthews, relieved Ad-
miral Louis Denfeld, Chief of Naval
Operations, from his post, in a short
note of reply to the Navy Secretary's
request.
Admiral Denfield was requested to
appear before the House Armed Ser
vices Committee in Congress when
that committee summoned various
military leaders to testify recently on
the Unifcation Act, after accusations
had appeared in the press regarding
the role the Navy was slated to play
in any future defense of the country.
The officers who were called upon
to testify solemnly swore they would
tell the truth. They were also as
sured by the Chairman of that Com
mittee, Representative Carl Vinson,
of Georgia, that no replisals would
be. taken.
The action of the president and
SecTetary Matthews in removing a
competent Naval Officer for airing
his views only at the request of a
Congressional Committee will have a
stulifying effect on all future Con-
gressional hearings, especially those
affecting the defense of the country.
The Presidents action has aroused
Members Of Congress who see in Ad-
miral Denfeld's removal dictatorial
mechanism designed to censor testi-
mony of military officers. Representa-
tive Arends, Republican of Illinois,
House Minority Whip, in a telegram
to Representative Vihson, demanded
that the House Armed Services Com
mittee Immediately meet and investi-
gate the move to GUST Denfeld. Many
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1949-11-03

Congressman feel that the action
taken against Admiral Denfeld not
only will cause other high ranking
men to hesitate to appear before Con-
gressional Committees and therefore
negate the principles of our form of
Government, but also shows the ten
dency toward dangerous one-man con-
troll
That the country is drifting toward
regulation and RECOMMENDATION is
shown not only in Admiral Denfelds
custer but in legislation which is on
the books and legislation proposed.
During the first session of the S1st
Congress, the Thomas agriculture
Bill, Senate Bill No. 1871, embodying
the Brannan Plan, was proposed by
the Administration This Thomas Bill
is Sc pages long. Fifteen of these
pages relate to penalties to be i'm
posed on farmers. As an example,
the provisions of Section 401 Oh on
page 70, reads as follows: Farmers
engaged in the production of any
agricultural commodity shall furnish
proof as to their acreage, production
units, production, yield, storage, and
marketing of the commodity in the
form of records, marketing cards, re-
ports. storage or sales receipts, or
otherwise, as the. Secretary may pre-
Scribe as necessary for the admins
tration of this title. Any such person
failino TO make any renolt or keen
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1949-11-03

any record as required by this sub
section shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor and upon conviction
thereof shall be fined not more than
$500 and any such person making a
false report or record shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor and upon
conviction thereof shall be fined not
more than $1,000, or imprisoned not
more than one year, or both"
Any farmer, under this plan, would
have to set up a complicated book
keeping system, spending his time
over records and reports, perhaps
having to hire a bookeeper to do this
for him, or pay a fine or go to Jail, or
both.
Although the Brannan Plan was
by-passed in the first session of the
Slst Congress, the concensus Of opin-
ion is that it will be revived as an
Administration must" bill.
Among the bills signed into law by
the President this last week were the
two bills giving pay raises to 1885,
600 Federal workers including the
postal workers; the Arms Aid Bill
for European nations of S1,314,O10,-
600; the bill for expansion of the
Atomic Energy Commissions activi-
ties; and the $15.5S5, 1863, 49S military
spending bill. When signing the latter
bill, the President directed Secretary

serve the 615 million dollars which

THE BIG DIP

Outside Brozil, other coffee growing
countries are producing, in the oggregoie,
only slightly more ihon they turned out
before the war. So the big dip in Bruzil
is reflected in tumble Of Just oboui
equal size in elobal production. In the
1878 crop year world output climbed
10 neorly 40 million bags. In the season
which ended in the middle Of this yeor,
it was obovi 30 million.
This is not os much coffee as the world
is currently consuming. The globes use is
now estimated at more than 81 million
bags yearly. The eop between produe-
tion ond consumption hos been bridged
lotely by 8razilion stocks carried over
from recent yeurs. Bot these stocks ore
