;3USSIA ATTEMPTS TO Of. DEBATE (

UN VtlU POWER

i, BULLETIN! , V-' UNITED NATIONS r HALL, FLUSHING, N. Y., , Oct. , 24. (UP)--The United :States today took a firm stand against preliminary efforts by Soviet Russia to bar debate in the United Nations General Assembly over the. Big Five's UN veto power. The American attitude was set at an early morning meeting of U. S. assembly delegation. Of ficial sources said Senator War ren R. Austin and his colleagues decided to fight efforts to bar any of the matters proposed for discussion in the Assembly s sixweek session here. The source said the Americans, while apparently ready to support the Big Five's security council veto power, feet the 51 nations of the Assembly should be given an opportunity to talk about it. . il mm ii Veterans Warned Not To Make Dishonest Claims A handful of Indiana veterans claiming readjustment allowances have recently had to learn the hard way that fraud does not pay and that the G.I. Bill of Rights has teeth. Noble R. Shaw, director of the Indiana. Employment Security Division, said today that clear-out fraud cases are rare, but that the agency is tracking down Meterans who are drawing unemployment benefits to .which theyarejiot, entitled in' fa'irness to the 99.9 plus per cent ex-servicemen who are honest. Out of an average 34,140 veterans who claimed allowances each week during July, August and September, only 21 lost their benefit rights as a result of making fraudulent claims. . Mr. Shaw said that each Hoosier veteran who claims an allowance is reminded each week that he must report any wages he has earned and that the law provides penalties for claiming dishonestly. However, despite these weekly warnings, the 21 veterans made fraudulent claims, and therefore were required to refund, by repayments ranging from $20 to $360, a total of $3,230 in allowances they had already received dishonestly. In each case, the veteran's remaining unemployment allowance rights were wiped out, under a specific provision of the federal law. These future rights totaled $15,380. Coon Trials To Be Held Near Here Sunday The Sullivan County Coonhunters Association will hold a local field trial this coming Sunday, October 27th, at the Malcolm (Short) Hart farm three miles southeast of New Lebanon.

Foundation Warns Against Feeding Stock New Corn INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Oct. 24 This fall's new corn crop may be a double threat to farm pro fits, livestock health officials warned hre. today. The double danger, authorities say, lies in the fact that there is a serious shortage of old corn; and farmers will be inclined to start . feeding new corn sooner and in greater volumn than they ;would normally. If they do, livestock losses are about - sure to follow, states the warning issued here by the American Foundation for Animal Health. "New corn can lead to severe digestive upsets, unless animals are started on it very gradually, and unless a special effort is made to balance the new corn with other rations in proper proportion," states the Foundation's report. "Often these digestive upsets will so weaken the animals that they will be predisposed to such diseases as enteritis, influenza, hog cholera, and pneumonia. In some farming areas the superstition has grown up that feeding new corn causes hog cholera. It does not- actually cause cholera, but when hogs are weakened by an excessive diet of new corn, their resistance to cholera is greatly lowered and those which have not been vac cinated against this disease may fall victims to it. "We cannot afford to lose valuable animals, in the face of today's meat shortages so go easy on feeding new corn." CITY HIGH SCHOOL RECEIVES COPY OP I. U.

Noland Says U. S. Must Maintain World Leadership "Our domestic problems are of a necessity connected with world peace and international cooperation," asserted James E. Noland, . Seventh District Democratic Congressional nominee at a rally in the Gosport gym Wednesday ; night. "The people of the United States must elect representatives to Congress who will support an American foreign policy of world cooperation. The veterans who have fought on foreign shores especially know this to be true," he said. "After every great war there has been an aftermath of boom, . bust, and depression. To avoid such aftermath it is necessary that the United States maintain the leadership which was won by our nations on the battlefield and offer a constructive program to the world as well as to the people of the United States. It is the responsibility of the rest of the nations of the world to take the lead in their own rebuilding so that they can again assume 1 their position in the world.'V hesaid. "The question before the peo ple today is whether they want a Republican party which threw away the peace in 1920 or a Democratic party which is on the way to winning the peace in 1946. With the right leadership we can make 1946 the beginning year on a new era of prosperity and peace," Noland concluded.
