Congressman From'

Invitation to Party

(itnigmssnian Magcr I)r- J
mantis “Greatest Good
for Greatest Number”
Faces of some Missouri business !
“bigwigs" may be r£d, but a lot of I
other people are going to cheer a !(
remarkable letter just sent by ['
Congressman Clare Magee, “fresh- j j
man” Democrat from the “Show ,
Me" state, to President George C.
Smith of the St. Louis Chamber
of Commerce.
Magee was invited to attend a
“cocktail party and dinner” to be
held at the Statler Hotel in Wash
ington on May 2, with delegates
present from looal Chambers of
Commerce all over Missouri. It
was to be a typical lobbyists’ at
tempt to induce solons to keep the
Taft-Hartley bill on the statute
books and defeat all the rest of
President Truman's "Fair Deal"
program. The Congressman's let
ter follows in full:
“To George C. Smith, President,
St. Louis Chamber of Commerce:
“Dear Mr. Smith: Receipt is ac
knowledged of your letter of April
6, in which you invite me to a
cocktail party and dinner to be
held at the Hotel Statler here in
Washington on May 2nd. You state
that the St. Louis, Kansas City and
other Missouri Chambers of Com
merce will be here attending the
annual meeting of the United
States Chamber of Commerce.
“I must decline this invitation
Kven the inducement of one hour
of cocktails is not sufficient. In
fact you would not be able to get
enough cocktails down me in sixty
minutes to make me agree with
what you and ch<- United States
Chamber of Commerce stand for.
"You may recall that soon after
the election of last fall, you invit
ed the newly elected Missouri
Congressmen to a dinner at St.
Louis. Only three of us were fool
ish enough to attend. I had some
idea of what we would hear; but it
exceeded all expectations.
“We were not given a chance to
say a word; but we were only ex
pected to, and did sit meekly by
while you and an officer of the
Missouri Chamber of Commerce
, heaped every conceivable insult
, upon those of us who were elected
j by the support of liberal elements.
“You charged that we would
probably witness the first ’Labor
Government’ in America when the
81st Congress convened. Yours
was the most excoriating and re
actionary speech that I have ever
heard or read.
“I am not a rubber-stamp poli
tician, and perhaps cannot agree
with every proposal of this Ad
ministration; but I believe that we
have enough wealth and resourc
es in this great country of ours,
that no one need be in want.
“I believe the prime aim of this
government, under the leadership
of our distinguished fellow Mis
sourian, is to grant the greatest
good to the greatest number. I be
lieve we can have a controlled
economy within our democracy.
“Free enterprise and individual
liberty become hollow terms when
all wealth is aggregated in the
| hands of a few people.
-ifettvvk you for tne invita
tion; but those cocktails might
cause me to forget the usual
amenities that a guest should dis
play to his host.
T "’’Very Truly yours, Clare Ma
gee, M. C.”

Miss««l from Marlin*
Klliutt Store
Activities on the crime front
made the headlines here when |
robbers, believed to have been1
amateurs, robbed the Wkllamstonj
Supply Company and Martin-El
liott Wholesale store sometime
during last Friday night or early
Saturday morning. Officers, work
ing on the cases, said early today 1
they had exhausted every lead j
and got no where, but that, they
were still investigating.
Forcing a window on Railroad
Street, the robbers entered the
Williamstnn Supply Company ,
building and then broke the glass J
door leading to the office. They ,
ransacked the (Usk drawers, but
nothing was missed there.
Crawling up on some old oil
storage tanks, the robbers reached ,
the roof of the wholesale store at
the rear and got into the store by j
removing a skylight and tearing
through some mesh wire. Several
dollars in change were missed
from thi’ shipping room along with
a quantity of cigarettes. Nothing |
else was missed. The robbers on
tered the office and ransacked the
place and possibly took a little |
change from the stamp box.
Doors to the wholesale firm:
were locked, and alter tailing to j
force an opening through a door
the robbers had to leave through
tlie skylight. It is fairly certain
that the effectiveness of the |
break-in was limited when the
robbers could not gain an easy j
way to get the loot out. It is |
thought that the robbers used a
rope to lower themselves down
into the wholesale house, but no
rope was found.
Local officers called for blood-!
hounds from the prison camp near
here. The rings picked up a track
quickly and ran it to a deadend ini
the street where the robbers are
believed to have boarded a ear and
departed.
The robberies here were two in [
a series reported in the county re
cently. No leads have been es- !
tablished in any of them, includ
ing thi- four reported in James-j
vilie a few days earlier. Reports
from Jamesville state that robbers
attempted to enter the pressing
club there last Friday night but
were frightened away.
No attempts were njade to open |
an iron safe in any of the places
entered, the officers are of the
opinion that the robbers were
amateurs in the business.

Roots Of Grasses
I
Are Important In s
Soil Conservation i
{«>nl> Of (»ra*s When Sown
Willi ('.lover Wei«;li .A,000
Pound'
ci
Acre
The importance of the roots of
trass crops in conservation often
s not appreciated, in the opinion
if Geo. C. Griffin, chairman of
he Martin County Agricultural
Conservation Committee. Since
toots are below ground it is not
apparent how completely they ui
•upy the soil.
'I'o cheek up on this, scientists of
the U. S. Department of Agricul
ture have washed out the roots of
a number of mixed crops. When
sweet clover was grown alone it
produced 1900 pounds of roots to
the acre. When grass was grown
with the sweet clover, 3000 pounds
of roots were produced to the acre.
Alfalfa alone produced 2300
pounds of roots to the acre. When
gras, was awn with the alfalfa,
the roots amounted to 5000 pounds
to the acre and in some cases up to
9000 lbs It is these unseen chat
aeteristics of grass which make it
sueli a valuable conservation crop,
the chairman points out. The
roots fill the soil and hold the par
tides together. When the gras is
turned under, it is these roots
which make the soil work easier.
As the roots decay they make the
native fertility of the soil avail
able and add to the sponge-like
ability of the soil to absorb water.
It is fur this reason, the chairman
explains, that grass is such an im
portant conservation crop.

Peanuts Moving
Mo't of ill*' 19 Hi (iriip Has
|{<t:i I’rrparril For
Vlanufarlurri's
Peanuts, stored here by the gov
ernment last fall, art beginning
to move to the oil mills, while
most of the 1948 crop has been
prepared for regular trade chan
nels.
Approximately 30,900 of the
more than 100.000 bugs of peanuts
stored here by the government
are moving to a plant in Suffolk
to be converted into oil for regu
lar trade use. No price figure was
divulged, but it was learned that
the government had rejected a bid
of about six cents for the goobers.
Nine large trucks moved about
2,250 bags from the Roanoke-Dixie
Warehouse her*' yesterday and
the others will be moved as rapid
ly as posible. The government
plans to move several hundred
tons of peanuts out of storage at
Darlington. South Carolina, and
WC,.,long lei; c-v ■ * 1 i * l i Uic nt.\l lew
days, one report stating that they
will go to an oil mill in Wilson.
It could not be learned when the
remainder of the crop stored here
would be moved. Local millers,
while not interested in peanuts
for oil, are expected to bid on
shelling peanuts for shipment
abroad, a few having been already
shelled at one or two small plants
in this section in recent weeks.
According to unofficial reports,
the government stored approxi
mately 1,100,000 bags of peanuts
from the 1948 crop in four states,
and about one tenth of them or
102,000 bags were stored here.
Except fo> the .11 mill which
is being used to shell seed peanuts
for farmers, the William ton Pea
nut Company suspended opera
tions yesterday for about two or
three weeks or until some of the
cleaned goodn ran be moved. "We
have a few thousand bags still on
hand, and we plan to reopen the
plant just as soon as the market
can take them,” one of the plant
owners said yesterday. It is esti
i mated that the company has
t enough peanuts on hand to sup
ply the plant for about two or
I three weeks.
If the government needs any
peanuts shelled and local firms
j can get the contract, the labor con
dition here will have been great
j ly relieved. "If bids are asked we
, plan to submit an attractive one,”
a company official said.
Including the peanuts stored by
the government, the market here
handled nearly half million bags
of peanuts from the 1948 crop.
