By Village council
Until Later NeeIinq

The Caldwell village council
approved a budget Of $l29,276
for the year 1855 at their final
regular meeting of the year,
Tuesday evening, in the city
hall. Mayor Homer Johnson
presided over the meeting.
The budget, as submitted by
Clerk Violet Morgareidge, was
the same as 1854 with no in
crease noted. 1t will in turn be
submitted to Auditor Gilbert B.
Long for final approval of the
department of taxation.
The council also discussed at
great length the proposed new
ordinance submitted by the Ohio
Fuel Gas company Of Cambridge
but delayed final action until
a later meeting.
City solicitor l.. c. Young
estimated that the new ordinance
represented an increase in rates
of approximately IS percent,
which would still be consider
ably lower than the rate now
paid by consumers in the rural
areas, except for Dexter City
and Caldwell

Henderson, Noble county
agricultural agent. The COM
plete magazine story is as
follows:
The Rolling Hills of southeast
ern Ohio are well-suited for pas
ture. Beef breeding herds make
good use of such land because
better pastures and better beef
production go hand in hand.
Large acreages of this land has
been renovated-brought into
top grass production. Better beef
breeding stock has improved the
quality of the feeder calves
being produced in this section of
Ohio. These calves are sorted
into uniform lots and sold
through the popular fall feeder
sales held right in the heart of
the hill country
This trend has changed the
pattern of farming for many
folks in southeastern Ohio.
Typical of the change is the way
Luther Schramm of near Har-
riettsville in Noble county work

Ten years ago the Schramms
and hired man were operating
a 250-acre dairy farm. They rails

and pastured the hills. This made
a profitable combination because

The Big Come-on

Let Us al the outset say that We have not chang
ed our minds about movie censorship IN general
or about the picture M" in particular.
The movie M is appearing the screens of
several Ohio theatres, and is being restricted to
adult patronage only This is good thing Children
should not be permitted to see it.
But this raises question, this restricted show
ing of the film We thought all along that those
interested in promoting this film and others like
it dead set against censorship violation
OF freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution. If We
remember correctly there were reams of high
sounding phrases attacking previous censorship by
the State anyone else, for that matter, as some
thing immoral and unlawful
And here VIC have the great inconsistency: The
very people Who fought for the wrong thing, Le
the passing OF this film for unrestricted viewing
are nov found doing the very thing they decried
with such vehemence. They restricting. limit
ing the rights, il YOU will of certain number OF
potential viewers This Inconsistency is difficult 10
understand al first
Have the producers and exhibitors Of this film
had a change OF heart? Have they soon after
what can only euphemstically be described their
victory" been Won over TO the side of morality
and decency? We hardly think
We can only see in this highly odd action Of
theirs sly way OF increasing box office receipts
The Adults Only" sign on the marquee of the
theatre showing M is tremendous "come-on'
That the very people who fought the right OF
the State on moral grounds To previously censor
movies should turn around and do the very thing
they fought against an indication OF the sincerity
Of their purpose and the worth Of their arguments.

WASHINGTON LETTER
EtJerts Of Big -Four Already Felt

WASHINGTON - There is in
interesting speculation here
Stemming from the So-called Big
-Four meeting in Berlin.
The talks in Germany have
conceded with the debate in this
city on the Bricker Amendment.
The speculation is as TO the ex-
tent that the Big -Four talks have
had, or will have an impact up
on these and future discussions.
The Bricker Amendment has
to do with treaties entered into
by this country their ratiiica-
tion and the effect. II is entire
~ natural that an international
conference should have some
bearing upon an issue OF this
sort. But the recaicitrance of the
SovietS in Berlin, their anger
provoking evasionS may have had
an influence far ont of the or
dinary.
II is thought here that the So
vietS may have made it difficult
for the debate on tie Bricker
Amendment, or any early legiS-
lation dealing with foreign af-
fairs. TO take place in a perfectly
normal perspective. Senators,
and the general public. can view
such legislation in one light when
everything is as II should he.

include Red China. And then,
Just when the Western Powers
thought that surely Molotoy was
ready to talk about Germany,
he proposed a world disarma-
ment conference.
Obviously, Russia was trying
10 exploit the meeting tor all IFS
propaganda value. However, u.
S. Secretary of State Dulles told
the world just what the real is
sue was, Russia 5 insistence upon
keeping alive old hates connect
ed with World War H. The Sec
retary told the Berlin meeting,
and the listening world, that 1t
was a sad thing that nine years
since the German armistice, one
of the parties TO the Yalta CON
ference should attempt TO revive
the bitterness and cruel hatred
of those days
Some observers raise the ques-
tion whether Russia has delib-
erately acted as ii has in Berlin
because the Bricker Amendment
was before the us. Senate.
Whatever its motives, however,
Russia has permitted IFS policy

stark ugliness. This has not gone

LOUIS 2. BtDENZ
More Than Wise Strategy

ment in many lands, Is to the
effect that the United States
has nov taken the place of Nazi
Germany, a thorough distortion
but one which obtains credence
from loose statements by a num-
ber of non-communist Amerl-
cans.
Soviet Failure
The Red effort TO win the
trade unions also goes directly
to the matter OF hours and
wages. AT the very moment
when Soviet Russia and IFS Satet-
lite regimes are compelled to
acknowledge their gross failure
in taking care of living condi-
tlonS and earnings for workers.
the communists arc doing all
they can 20 strike at the Ameri-
can economy. Their agitation
here is the expose of the bank
rupicy oi American imperial
ism, taking advantage of the
dissatisfaction of certain work
erS TO indict the whole system.
As a consequence, there has
been a great and new Red dis
tribution of the 1851 work on
American imperialism by the
Soviet Espionage agent, Victor
Perlo, Those who have read
Elizabeth Bentley's testimony
and her Informative book, out
OF Bondage. will recall Perlo as
member of the spy ring work
ing against the security of the
United States. 1t is typical of
communist contempt for Ameri-
can opinion that the work OF this.
man is now used as the basis
for Seducing the American trade
unions.
Denounees Church
To clear the way for his thrust
at the United States. Perlo has
to denounce the Catholic Church.
which Is the standard communist
technique. This he does by de
ciaring that the Vatican in
this country and Europe fuses
the authority and discipline of
the Catholic Church in the at
tempt TO swing millions of Ca
tholic workers to support react
ionary and pro-War policies.
