History repeats itself What Sen

bill that later on cropped up to
haunt him and defeat him for one
of the highest offices in the State?
Senators and representatives today
are cagey but when the voting rec

will have their record, for future ref
erence.

$4,000 policy during the war. This
proves the rate charged to policy
holder even in the Army was way
too high.
This proves conclusively that the
government could issue a $4,000
policy to every male and female citi-
zen in the United States for a premi-
UNI of approximately ten dollars a
year. That would be socialism or ''wel-
fare statism." There would be line
a block long at the post office wind
ow to get policy at that price.
Now the House of Representatives
has passed bill giving a $4,000
policy to every soldier, but it is can
celled when he comes home.
Unless the VFW and the American
Legion start campaign to write
their senators to oppose this bill it
may pass in the Senate.

ium.
Distinctive potted plant arran-
gements, with the fall motif were
tavors for the Rotary-Anns.
The program was presented by
Mrs. Floyd Kinnaman, of Fos-
toria, who is a highly known
handwriting expert. She read
writing specimens which were
submitted by many of the guests
attending the dinner.
She outlined briefly the pro-
cedure used in making define
atom, and said that the use OF
hand writing, as a means of de-
termining the fitness and aptitude
of an individual for certain
position or operation, is much
more prevalent in European coun-
tries than here. She said that
handwriting is being used more
and more, as evidenced by the
number of advertisements re-
questing applicants to answer in
their own handwriting. The
greatest use of analysis, how
ever, is in the field of legal mat
ters, such as checks, wills, evi-
dence, etc. Mrs. Kinnaman gave
on the spot readings of speci-
mems submitted by Rotarians and
their guests.
The "Rotary-Anns" and Mrs.

silver and green planters, filled
with growing plants which, along
with gay autumn leaves, had cen
tered the, tables.
The Rotary year books, pre-
pared by Tom Leavy were dis
tributed to the members.

cod EMPLOYEES
Benefit BY
PAY BOOST

Approximately $50 classified
employees at Erie Ordnance De-
pot will benefit by the federal
and postal pay raise bill, and all
federal employees at the post will
be effected by the revised leave
regulations contained in the rider
to this bill, which is expected to
be signed into law this week by
President Truman.
These classified-or per all,
annum-Workers will receive sal
ary increases, depending on their
present base salaries, of mini
mum of $500, 10 per cent on base
salaries that are more than $4,000
and up to and including $4,000,
or $500 as a maximum.
The pay increase is retroactive
to the first payday OF July.
This salary adjustment will
mean an increase of approximate
ly $4,000 per month in the pur-
chasing power OF this group OF
workers, the majority of whom
reside in Port Clinton, Oak Har-
Dor, Fremont and Toledo.
The first pay checks which will
reflect the new pay raise for

those issued November 2 and o.
This pay raise is the first for
classified employees since Novem-
Der of 1949, and only the fifth
received by this group of work
ers since 1923.
Hourly paid employees, desig-
mated wage board workers be-

STIFF PENALTY
FOR NEGLECT

Declaring Il can listen to any
crime with more sympathy than
that of child neglect" Common
Pleas Judge Tom Stahl Tuesday
sentenced Jordan Petersen to the
Ohio State penitentiary to serve
a term of from one to three years.
He scored the defendant, who
formerly lived at Stop SO, Gyp-
sum, for having paid only 500
to the support of his six small
children during this year.
Petersen entered plea of
guilty through his counsel, attor-
ley Adair Wilbur
The defendant was charged in
9 complaint prepared by Prose
cutor Myron Rosentreter with
failing, neglecting and refusing
to provide for his children: Cliff
ford, aged II; Charles, aged 1C;
James, aged 9; Kenneth, 8; Rob
ert 7 and Kathy 6.
Judge Stahl observed, "This is
one of a nr.nber of non-support
indictments which have come be-
fore this court. There are a dis
tressing number of fathers who
are wilfully neglecting their chill
dren but who seem to have money
for booze. / therefore refuse to
consider probation in such cases,
because experience has taught us
that probation is too generally
violated"
Asked if he had anything to
say, the defendant shook his head,
and listened silently to the maxi
mum penalty passed upon him.
The six children, all wards of
the state, are being cared for by
the county Department of Wei
fare.

sci for the senate committee In
vestigating charges of communism

an adequate staff of OPS enforce

do the job.
Mike Disable. OPS boss. is pop
ular in Washington. He moves in
where others fear to tread. Criti-
cism rolls off him like water off
the proverbial duck. He knows only
one way to move and that is ahead.
He knows he has thanlless and
probably the toughest job in Wash
ington. He knows how the people
feel about it.
Yet he took an oath to carry out
the provisions of the Defense Pro
duction Act and he points to the
fact that ceiling price regulations
are not new in this country. In TACT
the Continental Congress. on April
Is. 1776, established the first such
regulation when it ordered: "As-
sorted vultures who are preying on
the vitals of their country in time
of common distress by selling
above prices set by this price chart
shall be exposed by name to pub
| lie view"
Says Mike Disable: ''In America
today we have an economic para
dox. We are struggling against In
flation in the midst of the highest
production in our history. Yet pro.
duction is supposed to be the an
swer to initiation. American man
agement, American workers and
American farmers. producing more
military supplies. civilian goods
and farm commodities than the
rest of the world combined, did not
find that price controls stifled their
incentive during World War II. New
productive heights were reached,
which are now pointed to with pride
by industry. labor and agriculture
|. The answer lies in the hard
fact that these are not really peace
time economic controls. They are
emergency controls in new kind
of war-a war of economic attrition
that may well last for genera
tion."
The main question is will the
American people support cooper
atively this imposition of price con-
trolls? Do they want it? Do they
realize that it Is necessary as a
matter of self-preservation?
There is a concerted move un-
derway at this moment. as the con-
gress considers extension Of the
act beyond its June 30 expiration
date, to repeal Section 4 Of the act
which governs the whole process
Of wage and price stabilization.

to freeze the farm parity price as

fails, whether 1t Is to be continued
or discarded. Is matter for the
people themselves to decide. And
