what Gen. Van Fleet told the
Senate Armed Services Com
mittee on March 10:
"Under date Of September
3, 1852, ! was informed In Q
message from Gen. Mark
Clark, and ! quote:
Steel strike has seriously
reduced the amount cf arnmu-
milton being received on new
production. Present estimates
are that approximately 81 per
cent Of artillery ammunition
production for 1852 has been
lost. The above Listed aHnmu-
milton are the most critical
type. All ammunition contain
ing sizable quantities Of steel
are affected and expenditure
should be reviewed accord
ingly'."
Four days after receiving
that message, Gen. Van Fleet
sent q telegram to all his field
commanders ordering them to
be careful in expending am
munition, and he said:
I'm a recent message, the
Department Of the Army has
advised that the last steel
strike has seriously affected
ammunition production and
forecasts q loss Of 81 per cent
in artillery ammunition pro-
duction for 1882"
Then Gen. Van Fleet told
his commanders what to do
about avoiding raids which
usually require above normal
expenditure of ammunition.
But, unfortunately, the enemy
could make raids at will, and
the American troops were sup
posed to sit down and wait
and hope that the enemy
offensive wouldn't be severe
enough to challenge the short
age In ammunition.
The steel strike, Of course,
came about in June and July.
1862, after President Truman
refused to use the 00-day in
junction provisions Of the
Taft-Hartley law. He said at
the time that the stoppage Of
steel production would adj
versely affect the defense pro-
gram. But. even with the strike
in progress. he declined never
theless to use the powers

Lowell MeNett:
While Congress Pouses to Rest
Some Estimate Possible of Administrators Successes
In First 10 Weeks; Political Unity Seems Achieved

President has named Edward
r. Howrey TO be chairman.
Mr.. Howrey Is q Washington
attorney who has practiced
many years before the COM
mission In behalf Of clients
who for the most part dislike
the FTC and all its work.
There was no vacancy In
the Rural. Electrification Ad-
l1linistration. Chairman Wick
ards 10-year term had two
more years to go. With o
record as good as that of the
REA itself, untainted by po-
litical partisanship, Wickard
has been eased out to make
way for q Republican.
Ordinarily, one might be
disposed to blame the Republi-
can National Chairman for
political shenanigans Of this
kind. but the hand Of Chair.
man Wesley Roberts, now re-
firing as Q result Of activities
found reprehensible by the
Kansas Legislature, has not
been evident. unless he was re-
sponsible for Mr.. Coles ap-
pointment. Actually, the Sc
lections seem less q matter Of
finding Jobs for hungry Re-.
publicans than o process Of
turning all possible parts OF
the Government over to the
business interests most deeply
concerned. This would be
somewhat In line with the
Presidents naive faith IN free
enterprise" as the answer to
any ills from which the coun-
try may be suffering.
Ten weeks hardly prove
where We are headed, but they
/ do give some indication Of ths
direction.

Doris FIeeson:

The national chairman Of
the party in power is the
natural political buffer be-
tween the White House and
Congress and the Republi-
cans actually are fortunate
in getting q second chance to
make q fresh start in this de-
partment.
President Eisenhower today
knows much more about the
nature Of his job than he did
when. in the hurly-burly Of
the inauguration, he approved
the little-known Kansan,
Wesley Roberts. Leading Re-
publicans, too, who were in
toxicated by victory last
January, have learned that
they won q battle and not the
war. Some Of them are already
conceding they will need to
win the presidency once more
before their party is firmly in
control Of the course Of events.
In such a long-term CAM
paign, a properly run national
headquarters is almost inn
perative. The Republicans have
not had that lately; probably
they couldn't have had it, con-
sidering the factionalism in the
party and the rival presi-
dental drives.
Eisenhower Republicans will
urge the President to make q
personal selection for the
Craftsmanship and then use
him as q real political chief
Of stan. It is within his power
to do this, as naming the
chairman has always been
considered q presidential pre-
rogative.
The advantage to the Presi-
dent In handling the political

Lowell MeNett:

With Congress knocking on
Thursday for q week Of Easter
vacation it is possible to make
some estimate Of the new adj
: Ininistration's progress to date.
Legislatively, not q great deal
has been done In the first 10
weeks and it is difhcult to tell
whether very much ground
work has been laid for any i'm
portant accomplishments The
pace, in any case, has not been
such as to encourage the hope
once expressed by Majority
Leader Taft for adjournment
in July and q prolonged sum-
mer holiday. No appropriation
bills have yet cleared q COM
mittee in either house, and it
is on the enactment Of these
important bills that summer
adjournment usually Is pred
icated.
The major achievement so
far as Congress Is concerned
might be said to be political.
It Is the demonstration Of q
greater unity between the
party leadership there and the
White House than seemed like
" when the present session
began. President Eisenhower
has obtained real cooperation
from the Taft forces In the
Senate and the Martin group
In the House. The test in the
Senate came In the fight over
the nomination Of Charles
Bohlen. whereby, at the cost Of
some wasted weeks. We finally
obtained an Ambassador to
Moscow and saw the authority
Of the President in this field
sustained. That this came to

Rabbit Season Is
Postponed In Ohio
Fire Hazard Exists
Due To Lack Of Rain

The Ohio State Wildlife Coun-
ell delayed the opening of hunt
ing season, due to the extreme
danger of forest fires, from Nov
16 to Nov. %.
The council will again meet
this Friday, and unless the state
is blessed with rain, it is highly
probable that the long-aWaited
hunting season will be postponed
at least another week.
Noble countians are mostly
concerned with rabbit hunting
but the postponement includes
the season for the hunting of
pheasant, raccoon, grouse, Hun
garian partridge and other game.
Duck hunting season, which
opened Oct. 19 and continues to
Dec. IL, was not affected by the
ban, due to the water surround
ing the shooting sites.
However, the biggest majority
of Noble county hunters are not
so concerned with ducks as with
rabbits, SO must simply wait
with patience.
