Texan Denied Recognition.
Mr.. Mitchell also fatty denied
Wright Morrow of Texas recog-
milton as Democratic national
committeeman from the Lone
Star State. Mr.. Morrow sought
to tell the National Commit
tee that, since the Democratic
State Central Committee of
Texas had declined to accept
his resignation submitted in the
summer of 1852, he was still a
member of the committee.
Chairman Mitchell cut him
off and refused to let him be
heard, on the ground that Mr..
Morrow was not member of
the committee.
Mr.. Morrow shouted: you're
accommodating Texas" /
A voice in the rear of the room
exclaimed loudly: Don't believe
him" It was learned later the
voice was that of William Kit
tell of Dallas. a visitor at the
meeting.
Mr.. Morrow resigned to the
State committee and sent a
copy of his letter of resignation
to Chairman Mitchell, after he
declined to support Adlai Ste
venson in the presidential race
Later he worked for the election
of President Eisenhower.
Mr.. Mitchell said after the
committee meeting that if the
Texas committee should re-elect
Mr.. Morrow as national commit
teeman. then it would be up to
the credentials committee to re-
commend his acceptance or re-
lection. "In my opinion" Mr..
Mitchell said, "the National
Committee would not take him. -
Discusses Feud.
The chairman, in a report to
the committee, discussed the
feud with the Texas Democrats,
saying that Texas has no ma
tional committeeman and mel
ther the State chairman nor
the State committee has main
tanned communication with the
national party" In spite of
these handicaps, he continued,
Texas Democrats have raised a
lot of money and sent it to the
national committee.

House Is Expected
To Vote Approval
OF Seaway Today
By Robert K. Wolsh

A "last chance" vote on a st.
Lawrence seaway bill today was
scheduled to climax a roaring
House fight over the economic
soundness and practical necessity
of United States participation in
such a project.
The Senate-approved measure
has the backing of the Eisen-
hover administration. The Joint
Chiefs of Staff and congressional
Republican and Democratic lead
res favor it. But it widely
split both parties on regional, in
duStrial and economic grounds.
The bills chances nevertheless
seemed brighter than at any
other time during the last 20
years on similar st. Lawrence
proposals. Some leaders pre-
dicted that it would pass by more
than so votes.
Both sides agreed that House
defeat of the bill would put an
end to such legislation for many
years to come. Speaker Martin
convened the House at 10 am,
two hours earlier than usual. to
assure action this afternoon.
House hackers of the bill still
faced a high hurdle which ad-
mittedly could trip up, if not
wreck, the measure. This was an
amendment by Representative
Brownson, Republican, of Indi-
ana, to provide for private fl
nancing of this country's $105
million estimated share in a /
channel construction with Cana
da in the international area of
the river.
The pending bill would author
ize a st. Lawrence development
corporation to sell $105 million
in revenue bonds to the United
States Treasury. It's advocates
say the bonds could be retired
in so years from tolls.
Amendment Hit.
Representative Dondero, Mich
igan Republican leading the
House battle for the bill, charged
in debate yesterday that the real
aim of the Brownson amend
ment was to kill the bill.
Mr.. Brownson denied he
wanted to scuttle the bill. He in
sisted that if the channel build
ing were as good a business prop
osition as its advocates claim
there should be no worry about
attracting private investors.
Numerous members on both
sides of the aisle and from vari-
Gus sections of the country urged
enactment of the bill in the in
terests of national defense, i'm
proved trade and transportation,
and as a cooperative under
taking with Canada.
Representative Allen of Illi-
nois, who heads the House
Rules Committee, said United
States participation was neces-
sary for administrative as we'll
as economic reasons. He de-
clared that exclusive control of
such a seaway, opening the St.
Lawrence River to ocean-going
ships and directly affecting the
Great Lakes and central section
of the United States, should not
he left to only one country. Mr..
Allen added that Canada intends
to go ahead with the develop
ment, even if Congress defeats
this bill.
FallOn Leads Opponents.
The bill was pounded hard,
particularly by Democratic Rep
resentatives Fallon of Maryland.
Smith of Virginia and Bailey of
West Virginia. They were among
more than so members who de-
nounced or defended the bill.
Mr.. Fallon, leading the House
opponents of the measure, CEN
tered his attack on what he
called the fractional and piece
meal approach to the ever
present proposal for construc-
ton of a st. Lawrence seaway."

The Fairfax Board of county

The supervisors acted after

ment, that present zoning regu-

is located in a commercial zone.
The ban came to light recently
when one church produced a

D. |. CULLENEN'S
DEATH SHOCKS
ENTIRE COUNTY

The county he had served
SO efficiently for 26 years was
saddened and shocked Sunday
when the lifeless body of Ot-
tawa County Treasurer Don
old Leroy Dewey" Cullenen
55, who was also former sheriff
here, was found at his cottage
along the Portage river.
Arthur Rasmussen, brother of
Dewey's late wife who lives near
by, did not see Dewey fishing
from the dock as was his early
morning habit on weekend stays
at the cottage, and went over
to investigate, about 7 am. His
lifeless body was on the living
room floor. Cottage lights were not
on, and the theory was that he
had been stricken before dark Sat
urday night.
DeWey'S niece, Marion RasmuS-
sen, had taken him to the cottage
about 2 pm. Saturday, leaving him
there apparently in his usual
health. He had been under medi-
cal treatment for a heart condition
the past few weeks, relatives said,
but it was not believed serious.
Dewey first became a member
of the Ottawa County official fam
lily in December 1923, when he
was appointed by Sheriff Charles
Cover as deputy sheriff. He serv-
/ ed as deputy under Covers suces-
sor, Arthur Rasmussen, until De-
cember, 1882 and became sheriff
himself in January, 1888, serving
in that capacity until December,
1910.
Elected on the Democratic ticket
to the treasurer's office, he went
into that position September, 1941,
and had fulfilled the office ca
pably and efficiently ever since.
Residing at 529 Jefferson-st here,
Dewey is survived by one son,
Gary Cullenen; his father, Alpha
Cullenen, and his niece, Marion
Rasmussen, who was d deputy in
his office. He was born Feb. 26
1899, the son of Alpha and Caroline
Cairl Cullenen. His wife preceded
him in death.
He served in the Marines during
World War l, and was discharged
with a distinguished service rec.
ord. He was one of the instigators
of the formation of the American
Legion Post here, and was one OF
its charter members; although as
result of his political activities
he never served as commander.
Funeral services were held Wed
nesday at 2 pm. in the Neidecker.
Eberle-LeVeck funeral home. The
Rev. Paul Reese of Trinity Metho
dist church officiated, and burial
was made in Riverview cemetery

Three EOD Workers
Paid For Suggestions

Their ideas for improvements
paid off today for three Erie Ord
nance Depot employees who re-
ceived Department of Army checks
for adopted time-and-money saving
suggestions.
Marjorie ]. Lacy, Oak Harbor
received $40 for her suggestion
for cutting folders in the upper
left hand corner in such a manner
as to allow voucher numbers to
appear. It is estimated that use of
this suggestion will result in a
savings of 1920 for the first year.
A supplemental award of $1,000
was given to Joseph j. Gresh, Port
Clinton, for his suggestion which
originally brought him an award
of $5707 Actual savings derived
from the adoption of this sug-
gestion amounted to more than
the estimated savings, thereby
making the supplemental award
in order.
Thomas L. Miller, Fremont, re-
ceived $40 for his idea for a Spe-
cial sign for proof front buildings.
His check was mailed to him as
he was unable to attend because
of illness.
1t. Col. Donald M. Fairweather
executive officer, presented a
wards.
Letters of commendation for
suggestions were sent to five de-
pot employees, whose suggestions
were considered worthwhile but
on which savings could not be
computed.
Commended for their initiative
and ingenuity were James f. Hiss

Port Clinton Unit Among 1900
Men With AA Artillery Group
Ohio GUARDS
END TRAINING
HERE SUNDAY

Over 1900 men of the 371st
Anti-Aircraft Artillery Group
of the Ohio National Guard
and attached support i n g
units, including 21 men from
Port Clinton are training at
Camp Perry to learn to defend
Ohio in event Of enemy air at
tack.
The Port Clinton area unit is
the 112th Ordnance Company of
the 50th Ordnance Group, COM
manded by 1st 1t. Herbert G.
Boyer.
The Guardsmen have passed
the halfway point in their annual
two-weeks summer training. They
will undergo intensive training
under the guidance of Regular
Army support teams for still
another week before returning
home Sunday, August l.
The numbing roar of the 90
millimeter anti-aircraft artillery
pieces is heard constantly from
the four battalions of the 371st.
Each battalion has four firing bat
teries of four guns each. And
while two battalions are on the fir
ing range shooting up simulated
enemy aircraft, the other two
snap through dummy drills.
Each summer encampment is a
new challenge for these part
time" citizen soldiers. The veter-
an must learn anew, just as the
recruit (any enlistee since Jan. y,
how to operate the Army's push
button" fire control system,
which is constantly being i'm
proved.
But they learn Well-so we'll
they become almost a part of the
smooth machinery which cleo
ironically searches out enemy air
craft; locks it in as a target; aims
a four-gun battery; and fires as
fast as orders can be relayed.
After they have passed Army
training tests to determine their
fitness to man their weapons, the
Guardsmen will represent a tre-
mendous threat to would-be Ohio
air invaders. On the briefest no.
tice, these skilled gunnsrs can
man emplacements to be set up
near practically every key Ohio
city.
Commanding the 371st Group is
Col. Wilbur H. Fricke of Dayton
His superior is Maj Gen Leo NJ
