Losses in livestock and pou1-
try are reported very high. In
some cases animals were strand
ed without feed and water, due
to the severe storm.

several thousand turkeys this

est losses. Reports say that losses
due, to freezing and starvation

reach 2700 birds. Mr.. Watson

Motor Grader TO
Be Purchased By
Jackson Trustees
Welfare Director
Receives Raise
By Civil Service

The trustees of Jackson town
ship are going to buy new mot
or grader for use in maintaining
roads in that township, it was
announced today. Cost of the
new equipment is not to exceed
$1,000.
The county commissioners ap-
proved the purchase at their
meeting held last Monday. Due
to the weather, the board of
commissioners did not meet this
Monday.
At the same meeting the COM
missioners signed an agreement
permitting surgery to be per-
formed on one of the county's
tuberculosis patients. The pa
tient is now being cared for at
Rocky Glen sanatorium, near
McConnelSville.
Acting upon the recommenda-
tions of the civil service boards
wage schedule, the commission
ers approved the increase in sal
ary for Welfare Director James
A. Tilton. Under the prevailing
wage scale set up by the civil
service commission for welfare
directors, Mr.. TiIton will now
receive $200sa month. This was
not an increase granted by the
commissioners but only an ap-
proval of the boards action.
Wayne township roads will get
some special aid from the county
following a grant of $50 yards
of limestone made by the COM
miSsioners. The aggregate was
purchased from McCort Broth
ers for delivery as soon as pos
sible. The township trustees
must furnish a similar amount.
The road and bridge payroll
for the month was approved.
This month the payroll totaled
$4,02425.

TB Test For
Cattle Underway

DR.. Woodrow Carr and DR.. G..
B. Taylor, local veterinarians, be-
gan work last Monday testing
Noble county cattle for tubercu-
losis. The program was set up
sometime ago by the county eX-
tension service thru the coopera-
ton of the county commission
erS.
The commissioners agreed
about three months ago to help
finance the testing program. Al
last Mondays regular meeting
the board set aside $4,000 to get
the work started.
Several weeks of delay have
taken place because of disagree
ment between the county and
the state veterinarian office on
payments. The parties finally
agreed and the veterinarians
conducting the work will receive
45c a head for each animal
tested.
1t will require several months
to complete the work. A spokes-
man said last week that some
$4,000 animals will be tested be-
fore the program is carried out.

is so banked that a vehicle can
not get to it.
Rural patrons are being asked

livery.

Guided Missiles Are Ready
For Fleet, Sherman Saws
BY the Assecioted Press

Admiral Forrest P. Sherman
said today the Navy has developed
guided missiles to the point where
they should be put into the fleet
Immediately, ready for use.
The Chief Of Naval Operations
explained to the House Armed
Services Committee that is the
reason the Navy wants to spend
$40 million on converting a heavy
cruiser into a guided missile ship.
Chairman Vinson had asked
whether Admiral Sherman felt
guided missiles had reached a de-
velopment stage that justified
spending the $40 million.
Very definitely" the admiral
replied. 1--WE have guided mis-
siles which are sufficiently ad-
vanced that they should be intro
duced into the fleet as soon as
possible. We are not warranted
in delaying any longer in getting
this essential element afloat."
After hearing the Admiral, the
committee approved q $3.50 mil
lion Navy modernization program.
It includes the conversion of the
cruiser, modernization Of other
vessels and construction of 112
ships, among them an atomic
powered submarine.

High Court Rejects Plea
To Review, Dennis Ruling

Eugene Dennis, secretary of the
Communist Party in the United
States, today lost his last move
in court to avoid serving a SEN
tence of one year in jail and 81 900
fine for contempt of Congress.
The Supreme Court refused his
request to reconsider it's ruling OF
March 81 upholding his conviction
in District Court here in July,
1947.
Dennis was found guilty on
charges of contempt growing out
of his refusal to appear in answer
to a subpoena of a House Com.
mittee on Un-American Activities
in April. 1947.
In his original appeal to the
Supreme Court. he contended that
a Communist could not get fair
trial by a Federal Court jury that
included Government employees.
He claimed that such employees
would fear retaliation under the
Federal loyalty program if they
acquitted a Communist. The
Supreme Court ruled last March
that Communist could get a
fair trial under such circum-
stances.
