Another top-ranking Federal
official-the second in as many
lweekS-has resigned to find
more lucrative employment else
where.
The resignation Of DR.. Leonard
A. Scheele. Surgeon General Of
the United States Public Health
Service, was accepted late yes
Iterday by President Eisenhower.
The PHS chief explained that
he was quitting, effective August
/, Gin the interests of providing
more properly for the future
security of my family"
Mr.. Eisenhower accepted the
resignation with deepest regret"
as he had done June is in the
case Of DR.. Samuel w. Brownell.
DR.. Brownell, head of the United
States ONCE of Education, quit
his $14.800-a-year job to accept
a five-year contract at $50, 900
annually as superintendent of
schools in Detroit.
DR.. Scheele, who has been
making $4,000 in his Govern
ment post, said last night he
could not reveal the nature Of
his new job.
However, in New York, the
Warner-Lambert Pharamaceut-
ical Co. announced that DR..
Scheele will assume the presi-
dency Of its Warner Chilcott
Laboratories, Inc. Warner-Lam-
bert is an international drug
firm and the laboratories are in
Morris Plains. N. j.
In his letter accepting DR.
Scheele's resignation, President
Eisenhower warmly praised the
PHS chief for playing a most
important part in the great ma
tional and international drive
for better health that has char
acterized our times"
He extended my personal
thanks, and. on behalf of the
people of the United States, sin
cere appreciation and gratitude
for your outstanding contribu-
ton to the cause of better health
during your long years of serv-
lice"
DR.. Scheele, who will be 49
next month, was at the center of
the storm that followed the re-
lease last year of DR.. Jonas E.
Salk's polio vaccine. AS head of
THE Public Health Service, he
handled virtually all the Health
Education Welfare Departments
many contacts with the press and
suffered much of the criticism
that followed the "off-again, on
again" situation that developed
when a bad batch of vaccine
showed up.
ReappOinted Last Year
Though there were some calls
for his scalp and many predic-
tons that DR.. Scheele would soon
leave the post. he was reappoint-
ed Surgeon General last year.

Nixon Says Polish Riots

MIAMI, Fla, June 80 (F9.-
Vice President Nixon said today
the current uprisings in Com

protestations of peaceful in

The Vice President prepared to
leave after his talk for a To-day
trip around the world, including
official visits in the Philippines
and Wet Nam.
Passing Reference to Riots
Mr.. Nixon's prepared text
made only passing reference to
the two days of rioting in Poz-
nan, Poland, where witnesses
said more than 10000 workers
staged demonstrations demand
ing more food and better living
standards. Warsaw radio said
38 persons were killed and go
wounded, but other estimates OF
the dead ranged Up to 100.
Much of Mr.. Nixon's talk dealt
with Russia's professed desire for
peace, but he said her perform

Mr.. Nixon said the free world
is faced with a painful dilem-

so, he said. many nations may
consider us as warmongers." On
the other hand, he said, "if we
accept uncritically, we may
weaken our alliances and thus
invite the very war We seek to
avoid"
The Vice President said this
dilemma can be solved by telling
the world "as we have, that we
are always ready to listen to
words of peace. but that we will
act only when these words are
followed by deeds.

"As early as 1888, 285 officers of the
Continental Army had petitioned Congress
to mark out a tract of land in the West as
a colony of the United States, in time to be
admitted as one of the Confederated States
of America. This petition was really the
foundation of the Ohio Company of AS
sociation' organized in the Bunch of Grapes
in Boston March g. 1886 The directors of
this company sent Gen S. H. Parsons, of
Middleton, Connecticut, to negotiate the
purchase of a tract of land from Congress.
Parsons presented his memorial, which was
referred to the committee, and returned
home. His place was shortly taken by DR..
Cutler, of Ipswich, Mass, to whom goes
much of the credit for securing the action
of Congress in formulating policy for the
government of the Northwest Territory.
"On July Is the Ordinance of 1887 was
passed by Congress. Next to the Constitution

which were to be forever guaranteed to the
people. Among these was the declaration
that no person who demeanS himself in a
proper and orderly manner shall ever be
molested on account of his mode of worship
or religious sentiments in the said territory.
1t guaranteed to the inhabitants the writ
of habeas corpus, trial by jury, proper

Our HeritaGe

Former Congressman Robert T. Secrest
delivered splendid address Saturday at
the dedicatory services for the John Gray
memorial.
Now member of the Federal Trade
Commission, Secrest returned to his home
county, Saturday. to pay honor to Ohio's
last veteran of the Revolutionary War, who
lies buried in McElroy cemetery, near
Hiramsburg
The principles enunciated and the
thoughts expressed by Secrest in his speech,
should have a lasting effect on the people
who heard him. Its text, in the main, was
as follows:
For many years seven of the Original
Thirteen States had made claim to all of
the Northwest Territory between the Allie
gheny Mountains and the Mississippi River
Many disputes arose concerning those claims,
and in 1870 the State of New York ceded
her rights in this territory to the United
States. The other States soon adopted the
same policy.
Naturally the question came before
Congress as to what should be done with
these newly acquired national lands, the
first to come into the possession of the Fed
eral Government The question was debated
for several years, although final disposition
was not made of the matter until 1887. The
Congress of the United States in that year
held sessions in New York City. At the same
time the Constitution was being drafted at
a convention in Philadelphia. The eyes of
the people were focused on the constitutional
body. This permitted the Congress to deli
berate in manner almost wholly free from
selfish State interests and petty jealousies
"Already considerable number of
individuals had entered the Territory for
exploratory purposes. A great group of
Revolutionary soldiers whose personal for
tunes had been lost in the war made ready
to enter the western lands as soon as
satisfactory government might be authorized
by Congress. The Congress had found itself
unable to pay the wages of many of these
soldiers except in money which was depre-
ciated to approximately II cents on the
dollar. The soldiers urged that lands in the
Northwest Territory be sold them, and that
they be permitted to pay the purchase price
with the deprecated currency by giving it
to the Government at it's face value.
mot only were the veterans anxious to
enter into the Territory but many members
of Congress felt that the country must be
settled to protect it from Great Britain and
Spain, neither country of which had truly
recognized the territory as belonging to. the
United States T :
washington, in his farewell orders to
his soldiers, had cheered them with these
words: The extensive and fertile region to
the west will yield a most happy asylum
to those who, fond of domestic enjoyment,
are seeking for personal independence.

THIS WEEK
WASHINGTON
REP. JOHN E. HENDERSON

This week, l returned to Wash
ington briefly on Congressional
business. The impression one re-
ceives in our Capital city these
autumn days is one of anticipa-
ton as attention is directed to-
ward the political campaign which
will be climaXed November 6
when Americans in cities, towns,
and rural areas will cast their
ballots for the political party they
prefer for the next four years.
Activity in Washington no long
er dominates our headlines. In
stead, what is being thought and
said in Americas crosSroad will
ages is regarded as of far greater
significance. Since Washington is
almost always poor place to
gauge the sentiments of the
American people, there is always
an eagernesS on the part of the
people to learn the trends of
thinking in various areas of the
nation. In a presidential election
year, this eagernesS is intensified
regardless of political affiliation.
1t is stimulating and even in
spring thing to encounter this
natural reaffirmation that this is
government of the people. There
is no better time to sense the dy-
mamie strength of our nation than
when our democracy is rousing
itself to choose its leadership by
exercising its will at the ballot
boxes.

The purpose of the drive and the many
uses to which the money raised are applied,
was very ably discussed Wednesday even
ing when Benet was the principal speaker
at the Lions club dinner meeting.
The fund raising drive will get under
way as soon as possible and the community
as whole is urged to join in making their
contributions that the cause of Scouting
might continue in this county.
The money raised is handled directly by
the GAINESVILLE headquarters but in the
course of a year, much more than this is
spent in Noble county, trying to further the
education and guidance of young girls and
boys through the scouting program.

Aid the Scouts

The Boy Scout fund raising campaign
is upon Noble county again this year and
the goal has been set for $989.70, according
to Joe Benet, executive head of the Zane
Trace area, of which this county is part.
The campaign has been given added
support this year with the concerted efforts
of the Caldwell Lions club, who have
indicated they will take over the special
gifts department and thus do much toward
realizing the final goal as determined by
area headquarters.
Morgan and Noble counties in this dis
trict are charged with raising only three per-
cent of the total amount needed. Perry
county will need to raise six percent and
the balance will be furnished by Muskingum
and Guernsey counties.
The two larger counties raise their quota
through the United Fund drive, which does
not function in the other three counties of
the area.
