Denton said the World War I veterans, their widows and orphans are the “forgotten men, women and children of 1918.” He said only one other veteran group, members of the war of 1812, suited as long as the World War Oners for financial recognition. The congressman recalled that the AEF soldiers received S6O at discharge and in comparison the WW2 servicemen had the G. I. bill of rights, w’hich gave them college educations, terminal leave, social security, home loans and other benefits. However, Congressman Denton said the new congress has some seven bills awaiting it which would be favorable to WWI veterans. Four cities have entered bids for the fourth national convention. They are Cleveland, O,; Hollywood. CaliL; Portland, Ore., and Tdmfra. Fla. More Milk Is Used By Armed Forces Milk Consumption Is Being Increased WASHINGTON (INS) — The agriculture department reported today that milk consumption in the armed forces is being increased substantially as one means of holding down surpluses of dairy products. The department made an agreement with the army quartermaster corps last October under which the Commodity Credit Corp, pays a large part of the cost of the program. Officials figured it would be easier for CCC, the price supporting agency, to pay for increased consumption of milk by the armed forces rather than buy the commodity eventually in the form of surplus butter, cheese and dry milk. As a result, the department says that from November through June men in uniform increased their consumption of milk by nearly 100 million pints. This is equivalent to a 40 per cent boost in milk drinking by personnel of the army, navy and marine corps. No comparable estimate is available for the air force. CCC’s share of the cost is $4.10 per one hundred pounds of fluid milk, meaning that the extra 3,962,000 pounds diverted to the armed forces cost the price support agency $4,262,221. Estimates are that it would have cost just about that much to buy and store an equivalent amount of butter and dry milk. Tender a similar arrangement with the veterans administration, patients in VA hospitals were provided between March and June with an additional 1,187,000 pounds of milk. This operation cost CCC 138.579. Provisions in the price support law permit the purchase of fluid milk in carrying out mandatory price support operations for dairy products. They also allow for transfer of dairy products owned by CCC to the armed forces and the veterans administration. M. BRAUN Religious Store, 222 North 7th Street.

2,000 Jobless After $5 Million Blaze I Five Buildings Os Mill Are Destroyed CUMBERLAND. R. I. (INS) — Two thousand were left jobless today by a $5 million fire which destroyed five buildings of the Manville mills on the banks of the Blackstone River which authorities said was the result of the floods last month. (Firefighter Janies Bannon of Pawtucket was hospitalized for a fractured leg suffered when be fell while battling the flames. A score of firemen were overcome by smoke but were treated at the scene and returned to the fight against be blaze. The fire raged out of control for five hours despite the efforts of men and equipment from the northern Rhode Island-Southern Massachusetts area. Chief Samuel Engell said the fire began in debris left in a pile after the mill property bad been cleaned up following the Goods. — The mills had been back in operation only a few days following the cleanup operation. Two of the "huge brick buildings boused the operations of the Royal Electric Co. Another was used as a storage warehouse by the Owens Corning Fibreglass Corp., while the others were occupied by the Atlantic Wool Combing Co., and the Alton Wool Waste Co.
Jenner And Bricker Disagree On Effect Farm Vote Losses Feared By Jenner INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — Two conservative midwest Republican senators disagreed today on whether falling farm prices endanger GOP chances in 1956. Senator William E. Jenner (R Ind.) said the slipping prices may prevent Republicans from retrieving control of congress in 1956, even if President Eisenhower seeks reelection. Senator John W. Bricker (R O.) opined that the Democrats will fail in their drive to make hay next year with the Issue of reduced farm prosperity. Jenner, who has just completed a vote survey in Indiana, said: “It's going to be hard for the Republicans to carry congressional elections in the midwest if the farm picture deteriorates much more. Borne farm program has got to be evolved. The four-year fall of farm prices and the rise in cost of the goods farmers buy have hurt not only the farmers but the small businessmen whose are. chiefly farmers." Jenner said that if the farm depression continues, "we may have another 1948." That was the year of the surprise victory of Harry S. Truman, largely because of a defection of the farm vote from the GOP. But Senator Bricker said: “We must remember that half of the farm price decline took place during the Democratic administration. “And the number of farmers has declined by about 40 per cent. That must be leveled against the price decline. The decline is serious, and I regfet to, it, but it Jias taken place from a decided farm price peak." The Republicans will win next' year, even if Ike bows out, according to Bricker, who said: "The Republican party will find a candidate it can win with." Bricker predicted that his controversial constitutional amendment limiting the President’s treaty making powers will be approved by the 1956 congress, perhaps in a modified form. Presbyterian Youth Names JMew Officers The members of the Westminster fellowship.of the First Presbyterian church met Sunday evening for the first time this 1955-56 season with 18 in attendance. Sue Petrie moderated the meeting in which the new officers were elected—Sue Petrie, president; Wayne Flora, vice president; Betsy Burk, secretary, and Jack Macklin, treasurer. The program for the new season was planned and new policies were set for the group in 1955-56. Ralph Hitch Faces Unpaid Tax Bills INDIANAPOLIS (INS) —Former horse race news service operatcfr Ralph Hitch today faced a bill for $4,151:36 for allegedly unpaid federal income .taxes. Internal revenue officials did hot identify the source of the Alleged income but the claim seeks addi- ( tional taxes for 1946-48 and has been filed with the Marton county recorder. Hitch said he believed the claim stemmed from a former baseball lottery ticket operation, in which his collegues left him holding (he bag tor the additional tax money.
THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR. INDIANA
Morocco Plan Approved By French Heads First Step Ouster Os Present Sultan Ruling Moroccans PARIS (INS) —The French government turned its attention today to the "easing out" of the present Moroccan sulan. This is the first step in the cab inet approved “New Deal" for the North African protectorate. Authoritative sources said that resident general Pierre Georges Boyer De Latour had been ordered to arrange the departure of Sidi Mohammed Moulay Ben Arafa from the throne at Rabat immediately. Officials remained tight - lipped about just how the removal would be arranged. Privately, they indicated it might be only a matte: of /hours-and definitely would be only a day or two-before Ben Arafa left for the international zone of Tangiers. President Rene Coty was said to be sending to the sultan today a letter replying to a hitherto secret letter from Ben Arafa in which the latter implicitly agreed to leave the throne. The sultan, however, asked for French guarantees that his predecessor, the Nationalist Sultan Sidi Mohammed Ben Youssef, would not be restored. Coty’s reply presumably gave some form of a guarantee. A statement issued from the sultan’s palace Monday night that he would stay "so long as God has not decided otherwise," was interpreted as an effort to insure himself a handsome settlement when he leaves. Sources said Ben Arafa. whom the French installed on the throne three years ago, would be shown the respect to which his position entitled him. Boyer De Latour and the unpopular sultan were to meet today. The full coalition cabinet of premier Edgar Faure gave its final approval Monday night to his plan for easing the explosive situation in Morocco. The ministers met for a stormy four and a half hour session before Pierre July, minister for Moroccan and Tunisian affairs, announced agreement and said the plan would go into effect "immediately.” The other steps in the plan provide for: .1. Creation of a council of the throne to take over after Ben Arafa’s removal. 2. The return to France from exile in Madagascar of Sidi .Mohammed Ben Youssef, the Nationalist minded former sultan who was oustd by France in 1953. 3. Formation of a broadly based Moroccan government which would negotiate with Paris for home rule in the protectorate. France wouid retain control of foreign and defence affairs. Government Packed With Big Business
Accusation Made By Democratic Digest WASHINGTON (INS) — The Democratic national committee has accused President Eisenhower of packing the govrennient with “big” businessmen. Its blast that “deals and dealers" are rampant in Washington was contained in the October issue of the Democratic Digest, the cominittee's official magazine. It cited the case of former air force secretary Harold Talbott who quit under fire” after being charged with using his position to promote business for a management firm in which he was a partner. The Digest declared: “Business influence in government has recalled its peak in the supposedly 'independent' federal regulatory commissions . ■ . which were set up t<T regulate business in a disinterested manner. “Often they provide the public’s only protection against cut throat business practices as arbitrary prices for transportation, electricity and other necessities.” Indict Woman For Fort Wayne Murder FORT WAYNE, Ind. (INS) —The Allen county grand jury has returned a first degree murder Indictment against a Fort Wayne woman charged with the ax slaying of her 60-year-old husband.
