IN MEMORIA.M In memory of our dear husband and father. Wesley S. Custis, who Jeparted this life one year ago, April 4. 1943. Gone is the face we loved so dear, Silent is the voice we loved to hear, We did not think at the break ul that day, One so full of love would be taken

away.

Loving and kind in all his ways, Upright and just to the end of hi-

days,

Sincere and true in heart and mind, What a wonderful memory he left behind. Forgive us Lord for asking why, j But oh why did he have to die. The blow was hard. The shock severe God alone knows how we miss him

here.

Although he did not mention any names, iris remarks apparently were directed at Christopher J. Abbott, wealthy Hyannis, Neb., banker and landowner, who advised Republicans last Saturday, in Willkie's presence at a women’s meeting in Lincoln, to vote for Lt. Cmdr. Harold E. Stassen since Gov. Thomas E. Dewey's name was not entered in the April 11 pri-

mary.

There are an estimated 571,060 Negroes of voting age in Texas.

Willkie, speaking before an audience of 1,000 persons, said that “if the Republicans do not throw out all forces of negative partisanship, then their victory, if attained at all, would be hollow.” # Willkie, who speaks today at Central City, Golumbus and Norfolk, devoted the major portion of his ad-

Farm Plank Ideas Are Being Promoted CHICAGO, April 4,—(UP)-Plans for the removal of restrictions and regulatory orders from agriculture were considered today by the Republican party agriculture committee which has been holding hearings pre paratory to drafting the party’s agriculture policy. Four major farm organizations presented proposals to the committee yesterday and two others, The National Council of Farmer Cooperatives and The National Cooperative Milk Producers’ Federation, were scheduled to be heard today. The American Farm Bureau Federation told the committee that farmers must be assured “a fairshare of the national income.” An ■•alarming trend" towards greater powers for the federal government may, in time, lead to the misuse of administrative powers, the federation said, and should be corrected to preserve democracy and freedom. The federation and the National Grange proposed that men. machinery and prices that will enable farmers to make a fair profit be provided to enable the nation’s food production to reach its peak. The Grange said subsidies acted as a deterrent to production and should be used only as a "last resort.” Acreage control should be avoided, the Grange said, with surpluses bought by the government for foreign distribution at prices below

\ADDED TO THE NAZI TRICKS that impede the advance of U. S. troops is the “wooden box” mine, shown here being made harmless by s U. S. soldier on the Italian front. The mine consists of a small wooden box in which is placed a half-pound block of TNT. A detonator is placed through a hole in the front of the box and the firing pin set. A small twig prevents the lid from entirely closing, but when the twig is disturbed, the lid falls, knocking out the pin and firing the. detonator. They arc simple, but effective, for destroying personnel.’ They must be observed by the eye, for they cannot be detected by the electroc-magm tic mine detector. (International Sound photo)
