THIS WEEK IN WASHINGTON A IUhum of Ouiirawnfl Hap pwninqi In lb* National CiaHil Washington, June 6? Reorganiza tion of the federal government on ? gigantic scale is now well under way Just what it will be like when President Truman completes his stream-lining job is still guesswork, but the blueprints indicate that the cost of government will be consider reduced, unnecessary agencies be eliminated and greater ef ficiency will be the order of the day. Although President Truman is making major changes, so far very little criticism of his actions have been heard. His new appointments to cabinet posts have been generally approved. Although the new cabi net members obviously were chosen partly for political reasons, it is agreed by members of both parties that they are sound choices. ? Clinton Anderson, who has been named secretary of agriculture is, without any question, one of the na tion's leading authorities on farm problems. As chairman of a special house committee investigating the food situation, he has an up-to-the minute knowledge of our present food difficulties. It is expected that the whole food problem of the na tion will be concentrated under his _ direction. ? Judge Lewis Schwellenbach, who will head the labor department, has a pro-labor record which should give him the support of most orga nized labor. At the same time, since he is not picked from the ranks of organized labor, he will feel no ob ligations to any particular group and may be able to do much to stim ulate peace among labor organiza ? tions. Probably the jobs now han dled by the war Labor board and 0 the War Labor Relations board will be centralized under his control. Thomas C. Clark, who has been in the department of justice for ^ eight years, is conservative in poli cy and has controlled both the anti trust division and the criminal divi sion of the departiMnt. He seems to be a safe and wift choice for at ? tomey general. If, after making those changes in his official family, President Tru man is given authority by congress to reorganize the executive branch of the government, we may soon ex pect to Bee a housecleaning such as Here's the famous gts* that no other miller offers!

The Wagner- Murray social securi ty bills, which would extend social security to 15,000,000 additional peo ple, including farmers, will undoubt edly be the most debated measure of 1945. Its passage or defeat will determine, for years to come, the part which government will play in social welfare. The measure not only calls for wide expansion in present social se curity, but includes payment of doc tor bills, hospital bills, unemploy ment allotments, and general expan sion of hospital and public health service. The cost is estimated to amount to 8 percent of a worker's pay ? 4 percent of which would be paid by his employer and 4 percent deducted from the wages. " Since the measure, when it comes up for hearings, will probably be discussed for many weeks, the pub lic will get an opportunity to pudge it ? and congressmen, it is believed, will make a determined effort to cast their votes in keeping wjth the attitude of the majority of their constituents. The most outspoken opponents of the measures realize fnat the benefits have a strong ap peal. But they question whether the majority will want to pay the tre mendous cost of such a plan and whether the people want the govern ment to take such a big step toward socialism. 9 Leather Sandal* ? On Ration List . Approximately 400 shoe repair shops in Western North Carolina were reminded today by C. D. Bar ker, district commodity rationing of ficer of the OPA that sandals made wholly or in part of leather, new or used, are rationed and must not be sold without a shoe stamp. Mr. Parker said that recent OPA surveys have revealed that shoe re pair shops , are making these leath er sandals and selling them either wholesale or retail without stamps in violation of Ration Order No. 17. "In fairness to legitimate shoe dealers the practice must be stopped and OPA will use every facility that it possesses to stop this illegal sale," Parker said. AAA has under way a concerted drive to produce more legume and grass seed in 1945.

L*uon for Jun* 10: Mark 1:14-15; Luka 4:16-21: Mirk 8:27*. 29. 30 Four passages from the Gospels, arranged in order of time in the les son text, give a comprehensive pic ture of the ministry of Jesus. He came at an opportune time (Mark 1:15). The Old Testament and John the Baptist had prepare the way. It was also an opportune time for proclaiming the gospel. Enforced peace under the empire, Roman roads, and shipping on the Mediterranean made the journeys of Paul and others possible. At first synagogues in chief cities were laces of assembly. The wide nowledge of the Greek enabled the apostles to speak to the most of men in a common language. Think how graciously Jesus ful fills the ancient prophccy (Isaiah 61) ? the poor, captives, blind, bruis ed are included in his healing min istry. Suffering millions in Europe and elsewhere need that blessed ministry now ? both to body and soul. The Great Confession (Mark 8:27a, 29) shows that Jesus must have our belief in his Person ? we must be lieve in Him. On the rock of per sonal faith in him as Saviour he builds his church. It was toward the accomplish ment of all things associated with his name that Jesus told his dis ciples that he must suffer. There was no escape from Gethsemane and the cross. We may not find any phi losophy of the Atonement complete ly satisfying, but we must know that somehow by the sacrifice of Jesus we may be healed, and we must be lieve if we would be healed. Do we believe? ? Governor Proclaims * m June 'Dairy Month' Raleigh ? Governor Gregg Cher ry on Monday issued a proclama tion making June Dairy Month in North Carolina. In asking the citizens of the state to join him in recognizing the ef forts of the dairy Indus try^and its products as "vital to victory," ?ov ernor Cherry declared that "dairy farmers and the entire dairy indus try are exerting every possible means of producing the maximum amounts of these products under tre mendous handicaps of manpower, equipment and repair parts short ages." In his proclamation, the governor pointed to the need of better under standing of the importance and the use of dairy products? to the end that maximum food values might be obtained from such supplies as are available. Politically, Belgium is a consti tutional monarchy. 7 CARD OF THANKS Welwish to express our since ap preciation to our many friends and neiglMxirs for their expressions of kindrless and sympathy since the no tice of the death of our son, Lemuel K. Davis, who was reported killed in action in the Philippine islands ? JOHN DAVIS & FAMILY, Valle Cruel*, N. C. Boone Soldier Goes Deaf When Ordered To Remain Behind _________ ^ With the 97th Infantry Division in Germany1 ? Private nnt Class Howard A. Wineb-rger, of Boone, acted just a little deaf when his commanding officer told him to stay behind until he was well enough to fight. He not only accompanied his unit oo its first major combat mis sion, but distinguished himself in action. The 303rd regiment, 97th infantry division, had received the order to cross the.Sieg river and capture the city of Siegburg on the north bank. Pfc. Winebarger, a member of Com pany B, although suffering from several cracked ribs, went with his unit. Following an amphibicids crossing of the Sieg, major tributary of the Thine, the company advanced through the city under heavy ene my artillery, mortar, machine gun and small arms fire. At H-hour plus six, the German forces had been driven back through the city and a com mancP post was established for the night by a company in the north end of the residential district. A quick check revealed J-hat no less than 20 casualties had resulted in the six hours of action for the company, and the only means of communication with headquarters was radio, which was not practical because of the proximity of the ene ! my. Wire communications had to I be established. Pfc. Winebarger and Pfc. Wood row Wormington, of Denver, Colo., volunteered to run the gauntlet of enemy snipers and patrols back to the Sieg to bring up telephone wire. The two wormed their way through the black of night for more than four hours with only the licrt' ? of backflashes from enemy and supporting artillery to guide them, but they accomplished the mission. At 0530 the following morning as 'the company prepared to resume the attack, Captain Frank J. Tol ocka, commanding officer, said to a tired, bedraggled soldier, "Wine barger, I thought I told you to stay behind until your side was in good shape." "Sir," answered the soldier bland ly, "I didn't hear you say any such thing." Pfc. Winebarger is the son of Mr. and Mrs. William M. Winebarger, of Boone. His wife, Mrs. Ruth Wine barger, lives in Baltimore, Md." POTATOES ARE MOVING IN LARGE QUANTITIES Raleigh ? A total of 250 carloads of ?

BUY WAR BONDS U. S. Apple Crop Smaller Than 1944 fUleigh-oIndieations are that the United States apple crop will be much smaller than in 1944, but prob ably larger than the extremely short 1943 harvest, according to J. J. Mor gan, statistician with the State De partment of Agriculture. Meantime, Morgan reported, the North Carolina apple crop, although smaller than last year's by a wide margin, is "probably not as small as was thought to be the case follow ing the eariy April freezes."
