McGrath Assails Congress’ Record Criticizes Record Os 80th Congress Washington. June 21 —(UP)— Demm ratlc national chairman J Howard McGrath says the OOPcontrolled congress took care of • its ’ special interest friends" at the expense of the "plain people." In an obvious preview of the i Democratic line of attack in the forthcoming presidential campaigp. McGrath criticized congress for its record on housing, high prices, taxes, labor and other issues. "The privilege congress has taken care of its special interest ’ friends and frankly told the plain people it has not time left to legislate for them." he said. He called on GOP leaders to write into their platform a "dear i statement of what sort of foreign policy" tlic party stands for. I challenge the Republican party to abandon its ludicrous effort to construct a ‘tent big enough’ to reach from Sen. (Arthur I! i Vandenberg to cuugresmai. i (John i Taber." he said. Vandenberg l*d the senate fight to restore the house cut of more than I2.OtrtI.UUU.OOU from the foreign spending program.

Taft Sees Two-Way Battle With Dewey Doubts Deadlock At National Convention Philadelphia, June 21 —(UP) — Sen. Robert A Taft of Ohio viewied his fight for the Republican presidential nomination today as "largely” a two-man rate between him and Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York. The senator told a news conference he did not expect a deadlock, as two "very antagonistic forces" are needed to produce a deadlock, he said, and he did not believe such a situation would arise. Although Taft regarded it large ly a two-way race between himself and Dewey, he said he believed he had "a better chance of winning." Taft forces continued to claim alsiui 300 votes on the first ballot and to insist that their candidate had greater reserve strength. He was planning to breakfast this morning with the pivotal Massachusetts delegation. from which the Taft organization hopes to win 33 of the 35 votes after the first two or three ballots He also had a brrthkfast date with the Montana uelegation. Fears Raid Philadelphia, June 21 —(UP) — Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of NewYork. convinced he must win the Republican presidential nomination on an early ballot, moved swiftly today to block a threatened raid on his convention delegates by supporters of Sen Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan. His top poHitlcal advisers confit re.l with numerous favorite son delegations in an effort to persuade them to "jump'' into the Dewey column on the second or third ballot. "As long as Vandenberg remains in the race, the governor’s going is just that much more difficult." one Dewey associate said. "With Vandenberg out, it would lx> a walk In.” llewey disclosed his plans a! a press i-onfen-mHe proposed that the convention remain In continuous session, once th- balloting starts, until a candidate is '••lected His advisees conceded that a prolonged delay after the I first ballot might open the way for a compromise choice such as Vandenberg.

CHECK DEM Illi®!!! e* We wish to point out to the residents of Decatur that the streets and public alleys of the city are undermined with a network of water mains, sewers, gas mains, electric power cables, and telephone cables. All of these units have been placed for the service of the general public. We ask that you CHECK CAREFULLY BEFORE OPENING ANY STREET OR PUBLIC ALLEY. We, at the Citizens Telephone Co., will send men at our own expense to locate any of our underground cables, upon request We feel certain that the other utilities will also be very co-operative in furnishing information ' concerning the location of any of their units. Again, we wish to ask that you commence no digging on public right-of-way before checking. A few minutes consumed in checking with all of the utilities mav save you several hundred dollars in repair bills or it might possibly save your life. “A Phone For Every Home” I I « e—- —

termination with the present formula. That is based on farmer purchasing power from 19"9-1814. Prices of wheat, corn. rice, cotton. anil peanuts would lie supported between 6" ami 90 percent of parity. When supplies were plentiful the support price would drop Prices of most other farm products would be supported between zero, and 90 percent of parity. ; TOBIN DECLINES I (Cunt. From Pige One) gross for the Taft-Hartley act. Tobin announced his refusal to serve as an Indiana delegate In a letter to Frank McHale. Democratic national committeeman from ’ Indiana. 1 "I was not a candidate for the position of delegate and did not attend the state convention,": Tobin wrote. "I desire to state I ; further that 1 cannot act or zervel as a delegate to the Democratic national convention” The union's executive board last week gave Tobin authority to call a special national meeting "sometime after Labor day" to pick a candidate and party to support. "That depends of course, if there's anything to debate." Hunt said "If Taft is nominated hy the GOP there won’t be anything to decide." But he hinted that the Teamsters would support Dewey even if Mr Truman were the Democratic choice. NATIONAL GUARD (Cont. From Page One) put in a 12-month hitch-between Sept. 16. 194 V and the day the bill becomes law. The President has authority to defer men with dependents, as well as "necessary" men in agri culture, industry, government and research, and scientific and medi <-al students Also exempt are regularly ordained ministers and those studying for the ministry, and conscientious objectors who are opposed to all types of service, even non-combat duty. The bill met with the approval of Gen. Omar N. Bradley, army chief of staff who described it as a "step toward preventing foreign conlict.” The army has been studying the draftee training problem for the past several months but has been reluctant to announce any coni elusions until the measure actually becomes law. Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey. I who supervised the drafting of i millions of Americans during I World War 11. Is expected to handle the new job. At present. Hershey is director of the office of selective service records. ».
