Relatives May Join Soldiers Overseas WASHINGTON: <U» Dependents of soldiers of all ranks will be permitted to join their soldier kin serving overseas when accommodations are available, provided the soldiers agree to remain at least a year after their kin arrive, it was learned today at the War Department. The war department is authorized by law to provide full transportation for the kin of officers and the top three grades of enlistted men. The army announced this week it would send these dependents overseas beginning this spring. Dependents of all other ranks will be carried without charge, except for meals on government transports, under the new plan, it was learned. The War Department is not now authorized by law to provide transportation for the dependents of soldiers below the top three* enlisted grades on public carriers in. this country, but means are being sought whereby such transportation can be provided. The War Department decision is in line with the wishes expressed last year by Gen. Dwight'D. Eisenhower as European Theater Commander. After hostilities ended. Eisenhower was asked whether Mrs. Eisenhower would join him in Europe. He replied: “I don’t see how it can be done just now. The problem of the people over there is one that is very close to my heart I think the people that are going to stay indefinitely sooner or later should, ,if possible, take their families over.” Vets May Get Pay If Not On Strike INDIANAPOLIS: <U» The Indiana employment security division announced today that veterans unemployed because of strikes may be eligible for weekly readjustment benefits if the/ could show they were not involved in the walkouts. Director Noble R. Shaw released two statements, one interpreting the rights ot the veterans and the other saving that the veterans administration had advised the state that,it must follow federal law in determining the readjustment allowance eligibility of the farmer servicemen. Shaw said the veteran must prove that he is not participating in or directly interested in a labor dispute and that he does not belong to a grade or class of workers involved. He added that the federal law “specifically disqualified a veteran from receiving weekly allowances for any work in which it was found that his unemployment was due to a stoppage of wort which existed because of a labor dispute at the factory or establishment where he last worked.” REOPEN CLAY PLANT BRAZIL, Ind.: <Uri A clay plant, idle the last 15 yvars. will resume operations soon. The National Fireproof mg corporation of Pittsburgh announced today that the plant would operate as soon as extensive repairs and remodeling were made. The plant was closed during the depression. When it resumes operation, the plant will produce glazed structural ware and will employ more than 100 persons, officials said. PRICE CONTROL MEETING W9ARSAW, Ind.: A meeting of interested citizens and leaders from Warsaw and all other Kosciusko county communities will be held at 7:30 p. m. in the high school auditorium here Monday on price control and inflation.

Meat Rationing Not To Be Renewed Anderson Says More Meat Expected On Market Soon WASHINGTON: (U.R) Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson said today that the critical grain shortage should bring more livestock to market and put more meat, on civilian tables. Anderson said that there “is not even an intimation” that meat rationing might be restored. He explained that a scarcity of feed actually should make meat more plentiful than at any time since rationing ended last November. — The whole grain shortage has become so serious—particularly of the vital relief food, wheat—that the matter will be taken up at a full cabinet meeting next Tuesday, Anderson said. President Truman has directed Anderson, Secretary of State James F. Byrnes and Secretary’ of Commerce Henry Wallace to “expediate at cabinet level” United States wheat exports to hungry Europe and Asia. Anderson believes that the wheat situation cannot be separated from the entire grain shortage. “If farmers do what we want them to,” Anderson said, “they world dump all sorts of meat on the market.” The. secretary revealed that every effort will be made to get farmers to market livestock and conserve grain resources. One Irian under discussion is to cut the federal subsidy on overweight hogs. This would cause farmers to move animals to market sooner than they otherwise •would. Another plan would limit grain elevator inventories and quantities of wheat going into poultry and livestock feed. The United States has announced that it hopes to send overseas 225,000,000 bushels of relief wheat during the first half of 1946. However, Anderson feels that it will be impossible to meet this goal—even by hoarding domestic reserves. A posible result of the cabinet meeting next week would be to reduce the relief wheat goal. Second Performance Given By Minstrels The second performance of the Lions minstrel, presented Friday night in the Goshen high school auditorium, proved even more successful than the opening show the night before. A capacity crowd witnessed the performance last night, many being turned away because all seats and standing room was filled. Net proceeds will go to the boy scout building fund, an announcement as to the amount to be made next week when all reports arc in. The specialty numbers were even better than on Thursday night, the end men adding new jokes to their repertoire and more encores being provided. Jack Rathka. who was twice called back in his number. “No Can Do” was assisted by another end man, Bob Zook, who played the part of a colored woman. The others were repeated with additional emphasis from the previous night. All solo numbers were well received, the ladies and gentlemen of the circle assisting in the choruses. DIRECTORS TO MEET The adult board of directors of the Goshen youth center w’ill meet next Tuesday night at 7:30 in the law office o( Carl Chattin in the Shoots building.

Blows One Sour Note Too Many ■■ - o Petrillo Makes Mistake In Trying To Run Congress By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN, United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON: (UR) The five-by-five horn tootler, James Caesar Petrillo, who worked his way up in a bullet-proof sedan to become union arbiter of all things musical, appears to have blown one sour note too many. He toldaCongress to go jump. That was a mistake. Congress seems to be jumping, all" right, all right, straight on the Caesar of the arpeggios. The senate passed a bill last 4»ssion to slap him down. Now the music lovers of the House Rules Committee have ordered up consideration of the bill, plus another which would put Caesar and his horn in the clink next time he attempts one of his financial symphonies for the benefit of his American Federation of Musicians. He operated on the theory that nobody should toot a horn, saw a fiddle, or pound the ivories for pay unless he bought a union card. The ukase included Heifetz, Toscanini, the Marine Corps Band, and all of America’s high school musicians. He forced the phonograph record makers to pay a fee for every platter they manufactured, defied President Roosevelt (who tried to make him blow a more melodious song), and almost eliminated frequency modulation <FM> broadcasting. FM is a new system of sending music through the air and it needs a new kind of transmitter and receiver. It is supposed to sound better than the old-fashion-ed radio to which we have been listening these many years and the broadcasters \ greed it would become one of the big post war industries. Defies Congress Then came Caesar. He ruled that when a 95-piece symphony orchestra, say, broadcast on the standard wave lengths, its music could not also be piped over the FM waves unless the broadcasters hired 95 more union musicians to sit on their handkerchiefs until the concert was over. Most of the FM studios either shut up shop or curtailed operations. Chairman Clarence F. Lea, Cal., and his interstate and foreign commerce committee decided to investigate. Rep. Lea invited Caesar to testify. The musical czar did not know, apparently, the congress is like a woman: scorn her and your name is mud. “He, he told us to do our "worst,” Rep. Lea said, still amazed. “He said the hell with us.” The committeemen wrote a law which would put Caesar and his musical helpers behind bars for a year, or fine them SI,OOO each if they made their musicians strike in order to exact tribute from the broadcasting companies. The bill puts it that badly, while the formal report calls Petrillo an extortioner and a racketeer. (You can’t sue me, Caesar; that’s Congress calling you names. Remember? About the scorned woman?) Rep. Lea went to the rules committee to set a date for the vote. Committeeman Earl C. Michener of Mich., said he had a bushel of letters from union men Who wanted to hear their children play music on the radio, but couldn't because of Caesar. Rep. Howard W. Smith of Va., told how Petrillo Refused to let the Marine Corps band play at a patriotic celebration in Fredericksburg, Va. Rep. Eugene Cox of Ga., whispered with Rep. Smith, who then announced: “Judge Cox and I agree that this bill is a new departure all right; it is like a ray of sunlight, breaking through the clouds.” You see how it is, Caesar. You can give other folks the Spike Jones raspberry’ and get away with it; blow sour music at Congress and it’s likely to stuff your horn down your throat. JOYRIDE IN HEARSE CHICAGO: (U.R) An alleged joyride in a hearse almost made Herbert Brown, 34, negro, wish he were dead. A federal grapd jury returned an indictment charging Brown with stealing a hearse from the Commonwealth funeral home and driving it to Morocco, Ind. Brown's tour ended at Morocco, according to the indictment, only because the pistons and 20 gallop.-; of gasoline were used up. The fu--1 neral home said it had to pay $475 to have the hearse repaired. « r ■ LEROY HOKE MORTUARY 317 S. Fifth St. Phone 599 Ambulance Service Day or Night.

War Vets Gather To Greet Brides «NEW YORK; (U.R)Two hundred war veterans were sweating out their toughest mission in New York City today, waiting for the arrival of tije S. S. Argentina, the “diaper special” due to dock Monday with a cargo of 456 war brides and 170 babies. The anxious husbands, who came from all parts of the nation, were getting to be quite a problem for the Red Cross which had made arrangements for only 75 of them to be on hand when the ship arrives. When the list swelled to 200, the Red Cross reiterated its appeal for the husbands to stay home and wait for their wives to come to them. But there was every indication to believe that many more would be present Monday. In the interests of good order Port of Embarkation authorities banned husbands from admission to the pier where the Argentina will dock. > Hospital Notes Nellie Eisenbeiss. 72, of New Paris, underwent a major operation Friday afternoon.
