AROUND
OHIO
BY George L. Zeis

Two Ohioans have been respon-
sible for the movement of many
dairy cattle to South American
countries. They are Paul Dirkson,
Kenton, and Clair Miller, Medina.
Both these men are dirt farmers
as we'll as authorities in the dairy
business.
Paul Dirkson's 275 acre Hardin
County farm is devoted almost en-
tirely to the raising of registered
Brown Swiss cattle. The grain
which is grown on the farm is en-
tirely consumed by his dairy cat
tie.
Clair Miller, too, devoted part
of his time to the operation of the
Miller Stock Farms. But a lot of
his time is spent in. travelling over
many of the states securing dairy
cattle for South American buyers.
In a recent letter from Miller,
he told me that a great many cat
tie have been shipped to Argen-
tina, Columbia and Ecuador from
the United States and Canada.
Quite'a number of them have been
bought on Ohio farms.
Often times the South American
buyers will come to this country.
They will make arrangements to
visit various dairy farms from
which they hope to buy good dairy
animals. Sometimes they are sue
cessful and sometimes not.
The greatest movement of cat
tie started about 1949. There has
sbaen a tapering off in the past
year, however. / i
One of the reasons for this is
the difficulty of getting money out
of the foreign countries. Apparent
ly there has been a tightening of
the currency regulations.
Dirkson made his first shipment
of Brown Swiss cattle to Columbia
in 1949. They were purchased by
the government. This load consist
ed of six head of bred heifers.
Subsequent shipments consisted
of mature animals-both females
and bulls.
The first lots of cattle consigned
from Ohio were sent out by plane.
Since then, however, it has been
found to be more economical to
truck them to St. Petersburg, Flor
ida or to New Orleans. They are
then hauled to the South American
country by means of plane.
Time required to transport the
dairy animals can be best illus
trated by a recent shipment of
Miller's.
1t took about three days from
Ohio, to get them to Florida by
truck. They were loaded at st.
Petersburg at 100 am. By noon

Amish Are Not In Favor OF
Farmer Social Security Tax

Old Order Amish Mennonites,
through one of their Bis shops,
have advised Congress that, al
though they do not object to pay
ing Social Security taxes, they
want to be specifically exempted
from ever receiving any of its
benefits, if the program is ex-
tended to farmers.
Their exemption is based on
the historic opposition of their
sect to any form of insurance.
Bishop Joni F. Byler of New
Wilmington, Pa, made known
the Amish position in a letter to
Representative Louis E. Graham
CR., Pa which Mr.. Graham plac-
ed in the Congressional Record
and transmitted to the Ways and
Means Committee which is con-
Sidering President Eisenhower's
recommendation that social Sc
curlty be extended TO farmers.
I'VE of the Old Order of Amish
Mennonites are opposed to insur-
ance in any form, according to
the tenets of our religion" said
Bishop Byler.
1--WE hereby request that our
sect be excused from receiving a
social security number, whether
they work for others in agricul-
tural lines or trades or are self
employed. We have no objection
whatever to paying the social Sc
curity tax, but we do object to
having any number assigned to
Madison County Democrat. (London, Ohio) 19??-1958, 1954-01-29

any of our people, except as to
employers"
THE point involved here" he
explained, lis that we do not OBJ
iect to paying the tax, but. we do
object to having any of our peo-
pie placed in a position where
any insurance would be avail
able to them at any time, now
Or in the future"
fundamentally" the bishop
declared, I'VE cannot accept SUBJ
sides, welfare, or old-age pen
sions. Our churches provide for
our poor and needy with food,
raiment, shelter, hospital, doctor
bills, and o n er necessary ex-
penses. We are also willing to
help our neighbors of any other
denomination or sect, or even our
enemies. We apply the Golden
Rule: Love thy neighbor as thy
self"
This is a very serious matter
with us and we urgently request
that you give our objections bas-
ed on religious scruples your most
favorable consideration"
Other Amish groups have tra-
ditionally objected to insurance
as Indicating lack of faith in
Gods will or an attempt to evade
His punishments and are expect
ed to. ask for exemption from
legislation extending the social
security since heretofore agricul-
tural occupations have been ex-
empt.

Administration Disputes McCarthy's Claim Usurp Executive Powers

WASHINGTON, R-The Eisen- hover administration today dir ectly disputed the declaration by Sen. Mccarthy that it is the duty of federal workers to report to Congress what they may know of Communism, treason or other crimes.
 In a statement issued at the White House Atty. Gen. Brownell said the Constitution give the ex- ecutive branch of the government the "sole and fundamental" re- sponsibility for enforcement of laws and presidential orders, in cluding those to protect the na- tion's security.
 "That responsibility" Brownell said, "can't be usurped by any individual who may seek to set himself above the laws of our land or to override orders of the President of the United States to federal employees of the execu- tive branch of the government"
 Told of the statement, McCar- thy said at the capitol he is going to continue to get information from within the government wherever he can, and protect the sources of that information.

Five Seniors Graduate From Nome High School

Graduation exerc1ses were held last evening in the Nome School auditorium which was decorated in tones of blue and canopied with color.
 The address of the evening was given by the Honorable Walter H. Hodge, US. district judge, who likened the Class of 1854 to the Yukon and Mackenzie Rivers, which start together but whose paths deviate. 'Their courses may vary but their objectives remain the same," he said.
 He told the graduates that edu- cation was not a substitute for labor and work but a tool, and that the will to work is the most necessary factor of success. He cautioned the students not to be confident, as that became de- ceit, and to always temper what ever they did with humility.
 He stressed the virtues of tenn perence, prudence, fortitude and justice and most of all the inn portance of Truth.
 Diplomas were given by Super intendent Angell to Geraldine Fa- gerstrom, Lola R. Ost, LeRoy P. Reader, Gordon A. Swanberg, and Nancy M. Tripp.
 Eighth grade graduates were:
 Elva Ahmasuk, Bessie M. Au- kon, Douglas Cabinboy, Agnes Dimick, Virginia Doyle, Thomas R. Drake, Suzanne K. Fagerstrom, Ruth Glavinovich, Charlene J. Hudgins, Lorene Larsen. Gloria J.

95 Men Killed
 In Bennington Explosion Disaster

QUONSET, Rhode Island, R- The death toll mounted today in the explosion disaster of the air craft carrier Bennington as addi- tional critically burned seamen succumbed at Newport Naval Hospital.
 The number of dead stood at 95 Friday morning.
 Nearly 40 are in critical condi- ton.
 Chief of naval operation Adm. Robert B. Carney surveyed the battered carrier yesterday and said he found ''freakish and unique" effects of the explosions and fire. But he added that there is mo basis" for assuming they may have been caused by sabo- tage.
 Pressed for details on the un- usual effects left by the blasts, he said he saw fabrics and struc- tural objects near one another, some showing (effects of) heat and other no heat at all"
 In other places, he said, there was evidence of tremendous pressures and other signs of com plete vacuums."
 The admiral said the Benning- ton explosions were "the worst I have seen in all my naval ser vice."

Reds Continue To Pound French Union Garrison

HANOI, Indochina, R m Viet- minh mole squads burrowed closer to the battered Red River delta post of Yen Phu today as rebel mortars continued to pound the little French Union garrison.
 Following the same tactics that won them Dien Bien Phu, the rebels kept the thinly manned defenses pinned down with nor tar and machine gun fire while the attackers dug in around the mid -caked fortress, only 30 miles south of Hanoi.
 The French Union defenders lobbed mortar shells at the en- circling rebels as fast as they could load and fire.
 As at Dien Bien Phu, the Viet- minh are expected to strike with overwhelming thousands when the rebel command believes the post is sufficiently "softened up." Some 12 Vietminh battalions a1- ready have raked Yen Php for two weeks.

Rescuers Unable Reach Injured Man On Mt. Mckinley

FAIRBANKS, Deep crew. aseS have slowed to a cautious, inch-by-inch advance the desper- ate attempt of a rescue party to find an injured climber on North Americas highest peak.
 Four men were landed Wednes- day by helicopter at the 5000 foot level of 2O,3O0-foot Mt. Nc Kinley to seek out a tiny speck of a tent a mile higher on the ice clothed mountain.
 A plane dropped radio to the searchers yesterday and they re- ported they had gained only a thousand feet of altitude in A hours. The helicopter landed four more expert climbers at the 5000 foot level.
 The tent held George Argus, who was injured so seriously 12 days ago in a fall that he cannot use his legs. The fall killed one of his companions and the others left him in the tent with a six day food supply while they went for help.
 The toiling rescue party radioed they probably could not reach him for four or five days-and he will be out of food in three or four.
 None of the search planes aid ing in the quest has yet been able to locate the tent.
 The leader of the advance party is Dr. John Mccall, 31-year-old University of Alaska glacier ex- pert. The endorsements landed yesterday were headed by Col. Edmund Mueller of the Army's Arctic Training Center at Big Delta.
 A radio report later said Muel- ler's party, which was landed at a more advantageous point, had overtaken and passed the first group.
 But the weather was Worsening. The wind was increasing and blowing snow hampered the climbers. Clouds shrouded the upper part of the peak.

Government To Start Buying
 Domestic Minerals

WASHINGTON, RABig scale government buying of domestic metals and minerals may start by mid-June under President Eisen- hower's orders to build a ''long- term" stockpile for national se- curity.
 Government officials said yes terday the Office of Defense Mo- bilization will issue a directive shortly to the General Service Ad- ministration specifying the types of tonnages of materials to be purchased.
 Early estimates indicate the program might cost as much as two billion dollars. It is consid- cred as much pumpp primer for the sagging metal industries as a defense measure.
 Zinc and lead, as the two metals hardest hit economically, will get priority. Eisenhower indicated that 35 or 40 metals in all would be purchased.
 The White House statement said preference should be given to newly mined metals and minerals "of domestic origin" Congress members. from the mining states, while almost unanimously of the view that further measures would be needed to keep the industry healthy, acclaimed the plan as a tonic for the mining areas.

DeadlOcked Over Labelling Specific
 Work as Seasonal

ANCHORAGE, R - Alaska's Employment Security Commis- sion deadlocked last night on the issue of labelling specific types of employment in the territory as seasonal.
 The effect is to leave the terri tory's payments of jobleSs bene- fits unchanged. Millions of dol lars in annual payments are at stake. Most workers will remain eligible for unemployment pay ments, for the number of weeks set forth in the law, regardless of what time of year they become jobleSs.
 The vote of the commission, on which there are two industry and two labor representatives, was 2-2.
 One of the big issues has been over the construction industry. In every recent session of the Legislature there has been crit icism of the provision which al lows construction workers to re- turn to the States and draw job less, benefits after working dur ing the several months of the main construction season in All aska.
 The commission was empower ed by the 1853 Legislature to de- signate employment by specific employers as seasonal" The sal mon industry was the only one that then was listed officially as seasonal.
 The issue came to a head re- gently when Judge George Folta of Juneau ruled that there was no legal justification for a commis- sion official to decree the salmon industry to be seasonal and not to put the construction industry in the same class. He ruled that construction actually was season. al in Alaska
 A rapidly dwindling Unemploy- ment Compensation fund will face the next session of the Legisla- ture. Payments at a rate of more than million dollars a month have been paid out this year. The fund still has about AZ million dollars in it.
