Prosecutors Ordered
To Act on 9Cases
In Grain Scandal
Indictments Possibly
Leading to 10-Yeor
Terms to Be Sought
By jones Roper

The Justice Department has
ordered grand jury investigation
of up to 10 cases of embezzlement
of Government commodities, il
was learned today.
Government attorneys will ask
the grand juries to return crimi-
nal indictments that could lead
to 10-year prison sentences.
The Justice Department, racing
to outpace the growing grain
scandal, ordered United States
district attorneys to put seven
specific cases before grand juries
In addition the department
ordered the district attorneys to
present IL other cases to grand
juries or explain to Washington
why not. AS q result, most of
these cases are expected to 60
before grand jurieS for possible
criminal indictments.
The cases are scattered almost
coast to coast.
Answer to Disclosures.
This crack down was the Justice
Departments answer to dis
closures that more than S. million
worth of Government commodities
have disappeared-but almost no
body has gone to jail.
The Agriculture Department has
bought or made loans against
about So billion worth Of farm
products, mostly grain. This Is
part Of program to support farm
prices. The Agriculture Depart
ment has stored most Of the COM
modities with private warehouse
men, but now has discovered that
some of the warehousemen have
sold the commodities and pocketed
the money.
Congressional committees have
spotlighted the scandals. Agri-
culture Secretary Brannan has
dismissed them as surprisingly
small" He has USED civil suits
to try to recover khe Govern
ment's dollar lossek and has
blamed the Justice Department
for not starting criminal action.
as Republicans demand.
Five Already Indicted.
Justice Department officials,
disclosing the order for grand
jury Investigations, indicated the
department now Is ready. to jail
all wrong -doers.
Before the wholesale grand
jury Investigations were planned,
five persons had been indicted on
criminal charges. The latest, dis
closed yesterday, was william C.
Harnsberger, Luray. Va. AS man
ager of the Page Milling Co. Of
Luray, he was accused of convert
ing to his own use $4,000 worth
of Government grain.
Justice Department officials de-
clined to reveal what new cases
would go before grand juries, OF

lTlGIluS.
A soldier is trained to take care
Of himself and to keep on fighting.
AS a defender of your home front,
you must learn to protect yourself
and keep on working. Despite
every precaution, a soldier might
be killed. So might you. But the
more you know, and the better
trained you are, the better your
chances for survival.
To help you protect yourself,
and to make the best use of
your own special ability and skill
in an emergency, is the whole
idea of civil defense. If you give
time and thought to that, then
you will be able to save yourself
and others if trouble comes.
1t is not up to the Federal Gov
ernment to run civil defense. The
Federal Civil Defense Administra-
tion does the basic planning, gives
technical information to the States,
pays part of the cost of equipment
and shelters, and provides some
kinds Of emergency supplies. The
operation of civil defense begins
at your State line.
It Is The Peoples Job
It is the job of the States and
Territories and their counties and
cities to organize civil defense
among their own people. They
must build the machine and make
it run. The person in charge in
your State is the State Civil De-
Tense Director. In your city it is the
mayor, or your local Civil Defense
Ottawa County news. (Port Clinton, Ohio) 1931-1956, 1952-01-25

Director. He and his staff organize
and direct civil defense. To do this
they must find and train thousands
of volunteer workers. Without
your help, their efforts would be
useless.
Civil defense is definitely not
the responsibility of the Armed
Forces. Their job is to fight by
carrying the attack to the enemy.
Their experts have worked with
the Federal Civil Defense Ad-
ministration to determine which
areas are most likely to be at
tackled, what kinds of attacks to
expect, and what to do about
them. The Armed Forces have
some definite civil defense jobs,
such as making decisions on
blackouts, dimouts, camoufage
and radio silence.
Air Force On Job
The Air Force operates the radar
screen and the ground observer
system to know when its own
fighter planes are needed to meet
incoming bombers, and to warn
civil defense officials Of their ap-
proach. Once the warning has
been given, the Air Force job for
civil defense ends, and civil defense
goes into operation. That is where
you come in. That is where your
training in civil defense will save
lives-perhaps your life and the
lives of your family.
(The next article will discuss
what does civil defense do before
an attack.)

OPS Expected Announce Penny Boost On Wide Range of Groceries

WASHINGTON, (P)-The gov ernment is expected to announce Wednesday night ceiling price boosts of about a penny each for a wide range Of food items.
 That's how much the OPS esti- mated the increases would bring to the grocer-although it said the nations food bill would go up about 100 million dollars a year under the new ceilings.
 These figures were challenged by four food distribution groups which said the adjustments would have little effect on prices. They said competition, not ceilings, de- eide prices.
 "OPS is using scare tactics in an effort to perpetuate controls" !" said a statement by the National Association of Retail Grocers, the Cooperative Food Distributors of America, the Nation Association of Food Chains and the Super Market Institute.

BERLIN, (P)-Communist East Germany frightened it's squeeze on blockade threatened Berlin an- ether notch Wednesday. Orders went out to Red police to shoot to kill anyone caught without a proper pass in the Iron Curtains new three mile no mans land along the West German border.
 The shooting order was the lat est in a series of revenge moves against the Bonn governments alliance with the West. It all but sealed off the Communist girt former capital, which trembled in fear of a resumption of the l948- 49 siege.
 The Russians continued their ban on Allied military patrols travelling the no mile Berlin Helmstedt autobahn, sole highway link between the isolated city and the west.
 Regular civilian traffic contin- ued to flow normally, but a new formula for transit .visas adopted by the Reds Tuesday could choke off traffic between West Berlin and the Bonn republic at any time.

Communists Cut IT Berlin Telephone Lines In Reprisal Moves

BERLIN, (P)-The Communists cut telephone communications be- tween East and West Berlin and IT long distance lines between West Berlin and West Germany Tuesday.
 Eight telegraph lines also were shut down. Thus far, however, teletype communications between West Berlin and West Germany were not affected.
 It appeared to be the first blow in the promised Communist re- prisals for West Germany's sign ing of a peace pact with the west ern allies Monday. West Berlin, 110 miles inside the Soviet Zone, feared a renewal of the near-par- alyzing Red blockade of 1948-49 Earlier Tuesday, the Russian border guards again barred Allied military motor patrols from the city's only highway link Awith the west, the 110-mile autobahn to Helmstadt.
 AS before, the Russians gave no explanation for their action.

Polar Rifle Team Wallops ANG in 5O-Ft. Target Bout

The Polar Rifle Team took the Nome unit of the Alaska Nation al Guard into camp Monday night in the first meeting using the of ficial NRA 50-foot targets. It seems that quite a few of the guardsmen were suffering from an advanced case of hangoveritis plus mild form of swellhead after defeating the Polar team in the first two meetings.
 The Polar team as a whole turn ed in much better performance than they had in the previous meetings with Joe Bush high man for both teams with score of 91 prone and 69 offhand. Other scores for the Polar team were: Jorgenson 93 prone, 65 offhand; Davis 93-64; Glass 92-63; and Sgt. Cutford 90-62. Total points for the Polar team was 781.
 Gordon Osborne was high man for the Guard with 90 prone and 68 offhand, followed by Floyd Wheeler, 9l-66; Dickson 87-53; Kingik 87-36; McLuke 91-18, with total score of 687.
 It appears as though the target moved every time that McLuke squeezed the trigger in offhand position.
 The Guard team was crippled when their star plinker failed to show up due to the fact he had just been discharged Qsaac Lar sem from the hospital.
 All members of both teams were of the opinion that the small er targets were a lot more fun and with a little more practice, some good scores should be forth coming.

WAR CRISIS IN 1854

General of the Army Omar N Bradley recently told Senate subcommittee that Russas military posi- ton may be such that by 1854 she will risk with the United States General Bradley arguing against the limitations defense spending imposed by the House several weeks ago.
 General Bradey's forecast of 1854 crucial year in easWest relations is only of several official pre- dictons to that effect Bradley said that if present trends in Soviet activity continue, military alterations which keep them from initiating a will be at end The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff listed the following points in support of his argument:
 1. The Soviet Union through the Fuchs betrayal and disclosure of atomic secrets and by research has gained rapidly in atomic capabilities. 2 There is some risk of inviting early attacks by policy of building up strong defense forces in Europe but is better to accept the risk than to refrain from increasing m ary strength 3. Large stocks of Soviet material will become obsolete after 1854, and will have to be scrapped if not used by that time.
 4. Indications point to the conclusion that Russia reaching stage of industrial mobilization and stock piing which would support sustained war 5 Soviet divisions, while remaining the same in number have been steadily improved in quality and readiness.

THE SINKING OF THE LUSITANIA

Just 37 years ago this month the passenger liner 'Lusitana" torpedoed without prior warning, by German submarine, and damaged badly that it sank with the loss of eleven hundred and fifty lives.
 This incident is generally credited with having great influence on the American people, and the gov- ernments decision to intervene in the first World War against Germany.
 An interesting and sometimes overlooked fact is that the German Ambassador to the United States printed an advertisement in the newspapers before the Lusitana sailed from New York The ambassador warned Americans, and all passengers against travel ing on the ship. Despite this warning, which was largely ignored by the passengers aboard few people expected the great passenger liner to be attacked
