More Meat II
No Controls
Stockmen Say

Cattlemen attending the San
Francisco invention of the
American National Livestock As
sociation are reported to be lined
up against government control of
the industry, it is reliably re-
ported.
The cattlemen say that if con-
trols are not put on the American
table will have more meat on it
than ever before. Claiming that
they can raise more meat than
ever if allowed to proceed in their
own way, the cattlemen stated
that if controls are put on meat
production will drop and black
market operations will flourish.
Leaders further stated that cat
tie population increases at the
rate of about 100000 a year. The
u. S. Bureau of Agricultural econ
omists reports that the cattle
population may have grown as
much as 100000 last year alone,
it was pointed out.
Demand for breeding stock is in
the greatest demand ever and pro-
duction Of hogs is on the increase,
producers said. Sheepmen stated
that lamb and sheep population,
which has been on the decline for
the past seven years, appears to be
on the increase.
Representatives of the industry
told officials in Washington last
week, overall meat production can
be increased from 2596 to 30e6 in
the next three to five years If
raisers are not encumbered with
controls. 1t was pointed out that
controls parallel the steel industry
in that there is no immediate need
for stockpiling until we are real
ly in a war. Cattlemen and live
stock men agree that if produc-
ton is allowed to follow its natur-
al course we will have plenty of
meat if and when we do get into
a war, it was said.

Fire Hits Church
At Mechanicsburq

Fire struck again at the First
Methodist Church at Mechanics
burg last week as workmen still
were repairing major damange
caused by the disastrous blaze
which struck several months ago.
Workmen and the contractor
had been using a salamander for
heat in the attic where they were
working.
The portable stove was set up
too close to the roof and sheeting,
and rafters were ignited. An eff
fort was made to extinguish the
blaze with buckets of water until
the fire department was called.
Damage was not heavy, accord
ing to firemen.

Mrs. Braddock
Reported Seen
In Venice Fla.

New reports being received by
Sheriff Orland Hays, Washing
ton c. H., indicate Mrs. Minerva
Braddock. pretty divorcee and
former London student missing
since Dec. II, is still alive
Both the Fayette County Sher-
iff and Mrs. Braddocks father,
Clarence Painter of near McArth-
ur, Ohio, had previously express
ed belief that the missing woman
was dead. The sheriff theorized
that she had been slain by man
who jumped into her car when
she left her home near Washing
ton c. H.
New reports being investigated
in the case are: that she was seen
in Venice, Florida, on December
2l; that an airlines pilot reported
he had flown a woman answering
her description from Newark n. ].
to Buffalo, N. Y.
Visited Restaurant
Everett Taynor, restaurant OPP
orator at Era, Ohio, on the CCC
Highway reported to the sheriff
that she sad left Fayette County
alive. Employees of the restaurant
had talked with her between IL
p. m. and IL midnight Dec. II and
saw her get her auto and head to-
ward Columbus.
Sheriff Hays received a tele-
phone call last Friday from ven
ice Fla, that Mrs. Braddock mad
been seen there.
This, it has been pointed out,
would bear out a statement attri-
buted to Mrs. Clarence Painter,
mother of Mrs. Braddock, that on
Dec. IA, Penny had informed
her she had obtained 5000 in
Travellers Checks to go to Florida
in an effort to bring about a recon-

Continues. Search
Sheriff Hays has stated, L
will continue the search to locate
her, for I am satisfied now that
she was alive when she left Fay
etc County, and is still alive"
Sheriff Charles Radcliffe of
Pickaway County, has also enter
ed the investigation since Mrs.
Braddock, was last reported in
Pickaway County. He has obtain
ed photographs of Mrs. Braddock
to send to Fort Lauderdale, Fla,
where he has brother on the po-
lice force.
Other measures will also be
taken to check other possible
places in Florida where Mrs.
Braddock might be staying.
Meanwhile, the questions of who
drove the Braddock car 800 miles
and left it in Cleveland; why she
did not take her job in Columbus;
why she left $1,000 worth of
Christmas gifts in her home, and
left her Frigidaire filled with food,
as well as hall light burning in
her home, are things which are
still unanswered and, to use the
words of one investigator, they
don't make sense"

NYc Passenger Train Jumps
Track Here Early Tuesday

A New York Central passenger
train, No. at, west bound for
Cincinnati, jumped the track east
of the Tower early Tuesday morn
ing without injury to passengers
or crew, but delayed rail traffic
for considerable time until repairs
could be made.
Agent M. Perkins of the NYC
explained that only the booster
wheels of the engine were off the
track. They are the small wheels
beneath the engine cab. Also, a
tire was understood to have slip
ped on one of the drive-wheels.
Another engine had arrived in
London to take the train shortly
after the derailment, but was still
here after 800 am.
Meanwhile, Agent Perkins stat
ed, the train was awaiting the ar
rival of a tire-setting machine
either from Columbus or Spring
field to work on the derailed en-
gine.
There was no damage, Agent
Perkins said, other than the slight
damage to the switch at the east
end of the side track. The derail-
ed engine and train was due in
London at 4:24 am. and was be-
lieved to have been running late
when the booster-wheels left the
track.
The loosened tire of the engines
drive-wheel is believed to have
caused the accident.
