VQndQlS Crash
School Windows

One of the repulsive aspects of
Halloween is reflected in t h e
vandalism committed by a group
of persons pretty much in adult
age. At late hour Tuesday night,
or at least early the following
morning, eight windows serving
grade rooms on the west side of
Browning public schools building
were destroyed by rock throwers.
Evidence left appears to es-
tablish that those who hurled the
rocks had fairly good baseball
WINGS" since t he distance of
throwing was at least 60 feet.
Thrown from the street, the rocks
penetrated the v entilating
screens as to crash double panes
Of glass.
The damage, according to Supt.
H. H. Cloke, is considerable. For
a time Wednesday the situation
was q ute mountaineering to
teachers and students occupying
the rooms suffering the damage.
And on top of this, the school
bell was taken from the roof.
Later it was found on Moccasin
Flats.
A student body meeting was
held Wednesday afternoon as a
step towards a thorough investi-
cation of the incident.
Said Supt. Cloke: Since a
school building like a church is a
defenseless symbol of the things
we hold dearest in life, vandals
who select these institutions as a
means to express their deplorable
morbidity betray their lack of the
most essential qualities of civiliza-
tion."

Representative Keefe, Repub-
lican, of Wisconsin commented
that the public "is being taken
for great ride unless these anti
histaminics will do some of the
things they claim, because the
sales are really terrific"
Most of the claims for preven-
tion and cure of colds, DR.. Dun
bar said, have come in the form
of radio or newspaper advertise
ments, and any false claims in
volved would fall under jurisdic-
ton of the FTC.
The FTC, said DR.. Dunbar, "is
in about the same situation we
are.
I'VE are highly skeptical about
these products doing the things
they claim, but until you have
controlled studies made over long
periods of time, you just are not
in position to take evidence into
court either for or against them;
so we simply have to watch the
situation"
DR.. Dunbar told the committee
there are only about three basic
drugs used infhe numerous over
the-counter pnbducts, but he said
several others will appear in the

Truman Will Decide
Soon on Draft Act Shift

The House Armed Services Com
mittee will learn next Wednesday
whether President Truman will
go along with the suggestion that
the peacetime draft law be ex-
tended only if Congress has the
sole power to start inductions.
Chairman Vinson yesterday
countered the administrations re-
quest for a three-year extension
by suggesting compromise that
would permit inductions only
upon approval of Congress.
Defense Secretary johnson said
he would see Mr.. Truman Monday
and report back Wednesday al
though he expressed the opinion
that the President ought to have
the power to throw the draft
machinery into gear on proclama-
tion of an emergency.
It was apparent from the start
of yesterdays hearing that the
committee as a whole is cool
toward a fiat extension of the law
due to expire June 30. 1t will hear
Army Secretary Gray at 10 am.
Monday appeal for the extension.

Drop in Farm Income Cited
As Brannan Presses Plan
BY the Associated Press

Secretary of Agriculture Bran
nan said today that the Nation S
entire economy is being endangered
by a $4,000, 900 ,00O-a-year drop in
farmers purchasing power.
In terms of 1947 dollars, farm
families have been losing pur-
chasing power at that rate for
two years, Mr.. Brannan told a
House committee.
ut could drop another $2,O00,-
000, 900 in 1850, or another Is per
cent, if farm prices aren't i'm
proved" he said.
Mr.. Brannan's statement was
released by the House Appropria-
tions Committee. He made it as
he appeared before a subcommit-
tee to argue for his departments
appropriation for the next year.
He put in a plug for the Bran
nan plan" to set UP a system of
direct Government subsidies for
the producers of many farm prod
ucts.
There he met immediate oppo-
sition, with some subcommittee
members arguing that the cost of
such a program might run as
high as $4,000, ,000,0 a year.

Special U. 5. Envoy
To Vatican Protested
By Methodist Bishop
BY the Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 21.-
DR.. Hazen G. Werner, Methodist
Bishop of Ohio, yesterday ques-
toned sending of a special repre-
sentative of the United States
Government to the Vatican.
Bishop Werner raised his ques-
tions in a letter to President Tru-
man.
The.late President Roosevelt ap-
pointed Myron Taylor as special
envoy to the Vatican. President
Truman has not indicated he will
name successor to Mr.. Taylor,
who resigned earlier this week.
No Dispute With Religion.
Bishop Werner wrote:
Let me emphasize that there
is no dispute with Roman Catholi-
cism as religion, but only as an
expression of the fundamental
democratic principle that religious
bodies or movements should not be
politically aligned with govern
ment.
THE announcement of Mr..
Myron Taylors resignation as
your special representative at the
Vatican raises again questions
which have caused great concern
among many Americans since
1889.
Dangerous Precedent Seen.
Admitting all it's special value
as source of political and mil
itary intelligence, especially dur
ing World War II, does not per-
sonal diplomacy of this kind set
dangerous precedent?
How can we hope to defend
and preserve our American tradi-
tion and constitutional conten-
tion that church and state ought
to be separate if we continue to
assign an unofficial ambassador
to the international headquarters
Of the Roman Catholic Church?
II put these questions to you in
sincere belief that you'll weigh
them carefully in any considera-
ton of this Nations future dip

dren are under IL, he said.
The superintendent also denied
that some patients at the hospita.

committee members questioned
him about recent newspaper re.
ports concerning some aged pa
tients there.
"The implications made by al
least one of the papers in the city
were quite incorrect" he asserted
'They are still mentally sick, but
many of them are now primarily
nursing problems and should be
cared for in somewhat less ex-
pensive place"

there is no room at Blue Plain.
