''The costs of reaching the public

time are so great" she added, "that
there is grave danger that the out

Spokesman for the broadcasting
companies vehemently opposed Miss
Hennock's suggestion. Vice President
Richard S. Salant of the Columbia
Broadcasting System claimed the free
time plan was "unsound, unwise and
unavoidable" and might bankrupt
the broadcasting systems.
In that case, Miss Hennock pro-
posed, the government should share
in the expense of election broad
casts. She suggested that a joint
committee named by Congress and
President be set up to work out a
practical program of providing free
time for major candidates, and that
Congress enact the necessary legis-
lation along that line before the 1856
election paign.-LABOR.

is IKE BOOMING YOUNG
HOOVER FOR PRESIDENT

Wishful predictions that President
Eisenhower will and won't run for re-
election continued this week. The
lieve it or not, published on women's
page of the Washington Star. Society
Columnist Betty Beale pointed her
finger at Oil Man Herbert Hoover,
Jr., son of the former president, as
Ike's choice to succeed him in the
White House.
Miss Beale says Eisenhower told a
group of Republican ladies, at a
breakfast" that che isn't getting
any younger, that no man Is indis-
pensable, and that there are plenty
of good men, available to run for
president on the COP ticket. "He
cited one in mind-Herbert Hoover,
Jr.
'The President must have
preached this subject to Undersec-
retary of State Hoover, or Hoover
heard of it from some of the women
who attended the breakfast" Miss
Beale adds, because there's been a
lot of talk lately in the Hoovers'
dining room about the possibility of
the son following in the fathers
footsteps"
Undoubtedly young Hoover's can
didacy would be supported by the
powerful oil interests who contrib
uted-large sums to the campaign
funds for Ike. Not only is Hoover,
Jr., an oil man himself, but he ne
gotiated for the State Department
the deal which put Iran oil in the
hands of a new international car
tell composed of big American and
British oil corporations. Shortly after
ward, Eisenhower appointed him as
Undersecretary of State.
Other names being mentioned by
Ike are Vice President Nixon, Harold
Stassen, Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr.,
and Christian Herter, governor of

Emspak and Quinn, however, were
found guilty of contempt by lower

CRUSHING DEFEAT
1tToday's action of the Supreme
Court in reversing this decision is
crushing defeat for this undemocratic
and anti-labor committee which to
this day persists in it's anti-union

Three Home Games
Next For TripIett

With first-round honors already
cinched in the Lima National League
basketball race, the Triplett cage
team drew bye in this weeks league
action but has three home games
slated during the coming week.
The Trplettmen play the Bluffton
college reserves in preliminary to
the Bluffton-Cedarville game Satur-
day night at the college gym. Game
time is z pm.
Next Tuesday night the Triplett
team plays twin bill at the college.
In the first contest at 7:30 they meet
the Findlay RCA five and tangle with
the Findlay Moose in the nightcap.
The locals hold wins over both these
clubs in previous meetings.
Last week in league action the
locals captured first-round honors
with 47-41 victory over Columbus
Groves Dillsaver Barber Shop to
make their record so in the loop.
Monday night the Triplett five
trounced the same club 1922 at
Columbus Grove as five players hit
in the double figures. The win gave
the locals 1872 record for the season.

permanently home. His wife, the
former Amanda Bormuth, died in
1881.
Now Merritt and his family live in
the old home place with George, while
Harold lives in another residence
west of the original place, and Ray
mond on the next farm east. There
is one daughter, Mrs. Leroy Traucht,
of South Main street, Bluffton.
Since Mr.. Rossman originally ac-
quired his farm in 1905, practically
all of the present buildings have been
erected The old barn was turned for
better arrangement so the doors
would be to the house, and a "straw
barn" was added in 1888. Prior to
that, in 1915, the Rossmans built a
new residence, and in 1914 new
machine shed and granary.
The Rossmans follow the general
farming pattern popular on most
farms of the area, with practically
everything raised on the farm going
to livestock. At one time George
handled five to 10 acres of sugar
beets as a cash crop, but difficulty in
getting labor caused him to divert it
in 1947 to additional corn. Now
there are times when some corn is
marketed.
Holstein milk cows, herd Of 20 10
25 is maintained as a principal source
of revenue, although George prefers,
of all livestock, his hogs. There's a
greater profit there, he believes.
Shropshire sheep are his second
choice.
A lifelong member of the Trinity
Lutheran church, Mr.. Rossman has
been a member of the vestry for the
last 20 years. He has been treasurer
of the United Mutual Insurance Co.
for over 80 years, a trustee of Van
Buren township for 81 years, and
three more to go in his present term.
Among farm organizations, Mr.. Ross
man has belonged to the Farm Bur
eau since its organization.
Now that he has a little more
leisure time than earlier years,
George finds more time to keep up
with his baseball. He is a lifelong
fan of the Cleveland Indians and
manages to get away three or four
times year to watch them play
Oddly enough, though, he prefers to
keep up with the Indians through the
newspapers to listening to the games
or watching them on radio or TV
Dobey is one of his favorite players

Kenton Wildcat quintet Friday night
at Kenton in very important game
for the locals as they seek their tenth
win in eleven starts.
A Pirate victory would assure the
Biuffton team of its best WBL mark
in the past several seasons and
would give them 40 mark in the
loop as they head into the final stages
of the campaign against the top
flight contenders for the crown.
Kenton, with a WBL record of OIL
and an overall mark of wins and
three losses will be out to knock the
Pirates off the top roost.
The Pirates, who just squeeked by
Celina $3.50 last week, should find
the Kenton floor more to their liking
but will have their work cut out for
them as the Wildcats are twice as
tough at home.
Coach Ken Mast's Beavers, mean
while, will entertain Cedarville col
lege at Founders Hall gymnasium
Saturday night and travel to Findlay
for a return game with the Oilers
next Tuesday night on the cigar-box
floor at Findlay college.
The Beavers, with 1T record for
the season should hold an advantage
over the Cedarville five whose record
is not any more impressive.
On the basis of comparative games
with a common foe to date the Beavers
and the downstaters should put on
quite a show for local fans. Last week
Cedarville took a 1851 walloping
at the hands of the Oilers who defeat
ed the Beavers 95-65 earlier in the
season on the Bluffton court.
1t will probably be case of too
much experience and heighth and too

would not enable him to own much Of
the equipment he would need. AS a
matter of fact, Mr.. Rossman says
that farming 80 acres alone would not
justify an outlay for much of the
equipment which would be needed. 1t
would be necessary, instead, to ar
range for the use of someone else's
machinery for some operations.
The Rossman lands stretch along
Hancock County Road % about 2h
miles south of Jenera and half mile
west. The post office address is
Jenera, Route 1.
George acquired the home farm
from his father-in-law, Peter Bor-
muth, in 1908, after farming it for a
while in 1905, leaving to farm else
where, and then returning to make it

tract, for the adjoining farm on the
east is operated by another son,
Raymond, and all share common
ownership of much of their expensive
equipment.
Altogether the four Rossmans
farm a total of $40 connected acres,
and this affords economical machin-
cry operation by joint ownership of
such farm tools as the baler, combine,
corn picker, corn husker and the
elevator.
1t has been about As years since
George started farming for himself.
He estimates that at that time, 81 800
was enough to establish a young
farmer with livestock and tools t.
work an 80-acre farm in this area.
Now, at least $4,000 would be neces-
sary to make beginning, but this
