Fed eral Grand Jury action is imminent on kindred cases of fraud aeainst the government in sales of surplus property, WAA added. . WAA cited the speed which marked the process through the courts of the veterans "front" test case in which Irving- J.

MONDAY, NOV. 11, 1946. E COMEBACK TRY Coach Bill Jones' Golden Arrows invade Linton this afternoon for a try at getting back into the win column after an extended losing streak. Linton's Miners, starting the season off with some of the best material in the Wabash Valley, hasn't lived up to their pre-sea-son predictions. However, the games they have lost were dropped by comparatively few Joints and they are still rated as Being pitentiaily--- major -threa - to any team. Last week, the Miners barely came out of their game with Bicknell with a 7-0 lead, while earlier in the season the Arrows trounced the Bulldoes by five touchdowns. Since that game the Arrows have lost some key men, and especially did the loss of Jack Sevier, veteran Arrow tackle, hurt the local club. Sevier was a heavy contributor to the defensive angle of the Sullivan game. And that is the angle which may decide this afternoon's contest. Coach Jones' charges have been notably weak on defense all season although their offense is well above par. "It rests' about' the same as in the Vincennes game," the Arrow mentor said, "if our defense doesn't do their job, then our offense cannot work either." 1 Every opponent the Arrows have met this year has been impressed by the ability of the about-face actions of the Arrows from the usual faults of an inexperienced group of ball players. Offense is the main trouble of other teams with player strength similar to the local club, but with Sullivan, the offense seems to come natural, while defense is lacking. At times, Sullivan has looked extremely good 4n defense and usually each game they play will show some flashes of strong defense, but as yet no game has been played fn what may be termed as a good defensive game throughout. - In this afternoon's game, which begins at 2:00 o'clock, Coach Jones will use Lee Russell, 175 pound right end, as a halfback to add weight to the Arrows? backfield. He announced earlier this week that Gene Frisbee, senior reserve end, will fill in at the right end position while Russell is at halfback. A large crowd of local fans are expected to follow the Arrows over to Linton this afternoon and barring inclement weather, the local band will also make the trip.

Meat Decontrol May Cause Farm Surplus Problem INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 11 Decontrol of meat and other commodities in the OPA fadeout may be presaging a return of farm surpluses and a renewal of suggestions for forced control of supply, the Indiana State Chember of Commerce informed its membership in a bulletin issued today by its Agriculture-Business Department. The question of whether agriculture over-abundance will force further governmental experiments through a control of supply similar to the pattern tried during the '30s was cited as "imminent" in the State Chajnber's analysis. Consumption of farm products has not kept pace with the productivity of agriculture and the volume of agricultural experts has decreased, the bulletin ex plained. It . recalled that the ' philosophy of government until , recently has been to curtail pro-, duction to meet the unforeseen demand, but cited the newer trend to develop means of increasing the uses of agricultural products as a hopeful sign in op position to further governmental control. Agricultural productivity increases normally from one to two per cent each year, but it ballooned to 33 and l-3 per cent during World War II and has expanded 60 per cent since 1910, the bulletin said. Factors influencing this trend were enumerated as more prevalent use of tractors and other ' mechanical on farms, development of new crop varieties, better control of insects and diseases, greater use of fertilizer and lime, practice of improved rotation and cultivation and extensive soil conservation. Describing the opportunity for private enterprise to demonstrate its ability for private control and expansion of markets, the bulletin listed four possible methods of increasing demands and use of farm products. They are; Chemurgy where industry can assist in absorbing surpluses for manufacture into agricultural by-products and into industrial and consumer goods. Expansion in world trade through the Food and Agricultural Organizations of the United Nations program of sending surpluses to those countries where scarcities exist. Stabilization of prices' through normal supply and demand which will assist in voluntary production control by farmers. Increased home consumption through wider distribution, reduction of cost of handling food, and improved nutrition. DRURY INFANT DIES SATURDAY AT HOME AFTER LONG ILLNESS Robert Wayne Drury, age 10 months, died at the home .in Riverton Saturday noon following an extended illness. Surviving are the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Drury; three brothers, William, John and Joseph; and the grandfather, Marley Drury. The body was taken to the Billman Funeral Home where services will be held at 2:00 o'clock this afternoon. Burial will be in Mt. Zion Cemeterjr.

Asks Welfare Of Nation Be First Regard Pledges To Meet Good Will And Faith In Same Spirit; Asks Personal Gain In Publicity Be Relegated To Background For Good Of Nation. WASHINGTON. Nov. 11. (UP) President Truman, admitting the possibility of "serious difficulty." in running this government, todav appealed to the new Republican Congress to cooperate with him for the welfare of the people. " After reviewing the possible difficulty which threatened as the result of having a Republican Congress with the executive branch controlled by the Democrats, Mr. Truman put forth his policy for the next two years: "I am guided by a simple formula : to do in all cases, from day to day, without regard to narrow political consideration, what seems to me to be the best for the welfare of all our people. Our search for that welfare must always be based upon a progressive concept of government. "I shall coonerate in everv -

proper manner with the members of Congress, and my hope and prayer is that this spirit of cooperation will be reciprocated. ."To them, one and all, I pjledge faith vith faith, and promise to meet good will with good will." It was in this spirit that the president accepted the verdict of the voters who swept the Republican party back into Con gressional power last Tuesday. Mr. Truman made his declara tion in a statement to an Armistice Day news conference! The president said he was not concerned about those -in either party who knew the seriousness of the problems confronting this country in foreign affairs. v Concerned With Exploiters But he followed this with an expression of concern "lest any in the party should seek in this field an opportunity - to achieve personel notoriety or partisan advantage by exploitation of the sensational or by the mere creation of controversy." The president emphasized the bi-partisan nature of our current foreign policy. "It has been a national and Graysville F.F.A. Host For District Meeting Nov. 6 The Graysville F, F.

"It -will continue -to be a national program in so far as the Secretary of State and I are concerned," he said. "I firmly believe that our Republican colleagues who have worked intelligently and cooperatively with us in the past will do so in the future." v No Cabinet Changes , After, reading his statement, Mr. Truman denied numerous resignation rumors involving prominent members of the executive branch. He said he knew of no resignations pending or in prospect. This included :the cabinet and.'agency heads in His own staff.. ,.. He rejected as without foundation a ,'. rumor .Ithat General Eisen,hower ,.would:quit as Army. Chief of Staff because of differenc.e$ witk the administration over the size of the War Department appropriation. No Special Session Aisked whether he planned now to call a special session of Congress, the president said he had no present plans to do so. Furthermore he said he saw no reason for calling such a session. At the outset of his written statement, Mr. Truman said that he would not be frank if he failed to admit that the present situation threatened serious difficulty. Calling on both parties to help this nation forward without regard to political considerations, the President said, "The stake is large our great internal strength and our eminent position in the world are not, as some may too easily assume, indestructible." Expects Controversy. , He admitted, too. that issues between the President and the Congress would be inevitable. "When this occurs, we must examine our respective positions with stern and critical analysis to exclude any attempt to tamper with the public interest in order to achieve personal or partisan advantage." . He warned that national frustration would result from an effort by either the executive or . the legislative branch to embarrass the other for partisan gain. "We are set upon a hard course," the President said. "To follow the course with honor to ourselves and with benefit to claim for himself or his associates any greater devotion to the national welfare than he ascribed to the Republicans. j
