WAsHINGToN-Republican Na- tional headquarters is in a dither. The air is thick with reports that new chairman Guy Gabrielson plans a wholesale head-lopping.

 It is know that, since his elec- tion, Gabrielson has conferred with Congressional and other party chiefs on revitalizing the commit tees big staff Former chairman Hugh Scott made no changes when he took over. He became very popular with the staff, on which he leaned heavily. Some of his critics held this as a complaint against him.
 There has been no indication who is listed for the ax. That's the reason for the staff's uneasiness.

DIRECTOR A. w. MARION
The l949 Ohio State Fair August
27 through September in Colum-

lines, predicts Director A. w. Marion
of the Ohio Department of Agri-
culture.
Instituted and organized in 1850
to encourage the development of
agriculture and industry, successive
State Fairs have marked the mile
stones and mirrored Ohio's advance
ment up the broad highway of prog
ress," Director Marion says.
Nowhere on the face of the earth
is there a comparable land area that
even approaches Ohio in the total
agricultural and industrial wealth
produced. 1t is only natural, there
fore, that the Ohio State Fair has
become one of the worlds great ex-
