president of the Ohio State Med
ical Association, has issued a
call to the states 88 county med
ical societies to Immediately es-
tablish committees on emergency

emergency. The governor is set
ting up a state civilian defense
program. The appointment of a
medical committee Immediately
is imperative, as civilian defense
will become a very important
matter in all communities in the
very near future"
The county committees will
serve as local components of the
committee on National Emergen-
cy Medical Service of the Ohio
State Medical Association, DR.
Swartz said. Their function will
be to advise and cooperate with
local civilian defense units, help
work out and administer a prop
er medical program for civilians
in case of enemy attack and to
submit local problems and sug-
gestions to the state association
which in turn will work with
state civilian defense officials.

NEWS FOR
VETERANS

Many former prisoners OF war
of World War II in Noble coun-
ty, who to date have not re-
ceived their war claims checks
have made inquiries of the Vet
erans Administration recently
regarding the apparent hold-up
of claim payments.
E. E. Cunningham, veterans
service officer for Noble coun-
ty, explained the why's and
wherefores Of the delay and
asked patience of the claimants
in order to minimize further de-
lays.
He said that 125,000 completed
forms had been received by the
War Claims Commission in less
than. a four month period but
that due to the lack of necessary
number of employees in that
office to process the claims
only 5000 had been paid to for
mer POW's between Feb. Ia, the
day the first payments were
made, thru June 80 of this year.
Cunningham explained that
each claim is numbered and
handled in the order in which it
was received and that queries
concerning individual claims re-
suit in their being taken from
their position in the files and
subsequently placed at the end
of the line, thereby delaying
payment for a considerable per-
iod.
More employees are being
added to the office of the War
Claims Commission in order to
facilitate processing of the
. claims, he said and suggested
that no further inquiries be
made by the lawyers SO that the
time needed to answer such let
ters might be eliminated, there
by assuring their payment at an
earlier date.

nyny. His experience proves that
we need an amendment to the
Taft Hartley law-not to weaken
it as certain labor leaders de-
mand-but to strengthen it SO as
to render it impossible for any
labor leader ever again to do to
a worker what John Lewis has
done to Joe Dickmon
When our forefathers drew up
the Declaration of Independence
they naturally assumed that
Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of
Happiness" included the Free
Right to Work." because without
the latter the former three are
impossible of attainment.
But, today, certain arrogant
labor leaders have asserted a
new doctrine, to wit, that Ameri-
can citizenship does not carry
with it the Free Right to Work.
Under this un-American doc
trine, millions of American citi-
zens have been forced to apply
to labor union and pay for New
Citizenship Papers in order to
work at the job of their choosing.
Union labor has made great
progress in recent years. Favor
able public opinion has enabled
it to do so. But labor must throw
off the shackles of a greed minor
ity of its leadership, which is ex-
plotting it for the labor leaders
own selfish purposes. Unless this
is done, public opinion will turn
against union labor and its gains
will be nullified.
1t is estimated that the Gag
gregate tax" now levied against
union workers by our "sub-gov-
ernment" of labor politicians is
well over a billion dollars year.
Under existing laws, for the
most part, this vast sum is spent
in whatever manner the labor
dictators see fit, for their own
selfish aggrandizement, and to
the disadvantage of all other
groups of our citizenry.
Yes, we need an amendment
to the Taft Hartley law-one that
will give the American worker
freedom to choose Tor hlmseu
whether or not he wishes to be-
come and to remain a member
of a labor union.
Joe Dickmon's courage; his
sacrifice, his resolution, most cer-
tainly must not go unrewarded.
Whether he realizes it or not, he
has started one-man crusade to
emancipate Americas workers
He has launched a movement
destined to bring about legisla-
ton that will enable workers to
enjoy the Free Right to Work, y
so essential to the rights to Life,
Liberty, and the Pursuit of Hap
piness"-without having to apply
to labor union for New Citi-
zenship Papers.
Bravo, Joe Dickmon!

BRAVO, JOE DICKMON!
By GEORGE PECK

Joe Dickmon, of Library, Pa,
has become a national figure. He
is the coal miner who last Janu-
ary dared to criticize Boss John
Lewis, and for this exercising of
his American right of free
speech, was banished by his un-
ion-The United Mine Workers.
Because of this Punishment,
Dickmon has been denied the
right to engage in the only trade
he knows-coal mining-thereby
losing another of his American
freedoms-the right to work.
Dickmon and his family have
not only endured great privation

Receive Aid In
Marking Ballot
Attorney General
Rules For Election
Boards In State

The Office Type ballot will be
used by the voters of Ohio at
the Nov. 7th, 1850. general cleo
ton due to the adoption of an
amendment to the Ohio Consti-
tuition by the voters at the Nov.
9Th, 1949 general election. On ac-
count of the use of the Office
Type ballot for the first time in
Ohio, many inquiries have come
to the office of the secretary of
state pertaining TO the follow
ing two questions: Cd Can IL
literates and persons who can
not read or write be denied the
right to vote? (2) If such per-
sons are entitled to vote how are
their ballots to be marked and
what assistance can be given to
them in marking their ballots?
These two questions have
arisen due to the fact that the
voters at the November 7th,
1850 general election for the first
time must vote separately for
each candidate on the ballot for
whom he wishes to vote and the
voter cannot vote straight
ticket, which means voting for
all of the candidates of one po-
litical party by either placing an
TX" in the circular space below
the party emblem or by placing
an *" in the rectangular space
at the left of the name of every
candidate in the column under
the party emblem of such polit-
ical party, as was permissible
before the adoption of the new
amendment to the Ohio Consti-
tuition by the voters at the Nov.
9th, 1949 general election.
Under date of March 81, 1850,
the Honorable Herbert S. Duffy,
attorney general of Ohio rem
dered an informal opinion No.
SO to the Honorable John c. Ba-
con, prosecuting attorney OF
Meigs county, Pomeroy, answer
ing these two questions.
In answer to question No. l
the attorney general, in his opin-
ion, is quoted as follows:
There is neither a constitu-
tional nor statutory requirement
that person be able to read ol
write in order to exercise the
voting franchise in this state
Therefore, in answer to youl
question it is my opinion that /;
person who cannot read or write
may not be denied the right tC
vote for that reason alone"
In answer to question No. 2
the attorney general is, likewise
quoted as follows:
"Your second question appar
emily places in issue whether o
not the provisions of Sectioi
4785-132, General Code shoulc
