Cutting short the usual long legis lative week-end, the Joint appropria tions committee will meet tomorrow Afternoon to resume hearings on the biennial budget needs of state de partment and Institutions. The Joint finance committee, with less work before it at present, will meet Tuesday to end a recess started last Thursday. Both Houses will convene Monday slight at 8 o'clock, with comparatively light calendars facing the lawmakers, neither body is expected to be as busy as on the first Monday night of the .session, when Speaker John H. Kerr, Jr., announced committee assignments In the House and the Senate passed the $22,000,000 postwar reserve fund 1111. One of the agencies scheduled to he heard bv the aDDroDriations com mittee tomorrow is the state board of charities and public welfare, which will seek a considerable Increase above Its present budget and the budget commis. e'on's recommendations for the ensu in blennium. The board want more money for salary Increases, new field Inspectors to examine county homes and Jails nd the expansion of welfare work In new defense- areas, where it la antici pating extra burdens created by tran sient workers and the mush-rooming of new communities. The welfare and charities appro priations for the current blennium were $151,460 tor 1941 and $206,308 for 1942-43. The board asked the budget commission for $275,413 for 1943-44 and $275,563 for 1944-45. The com mission recommended $178,470 and 4169,164. Outside, of the finance and appro priations committees, the work of legislative committees thus far In the session has been comparatively light, with, slightly under . 100- bills having lx?en introduced in both Houses. New bills are scheduled to hit the hopper with greater speed this week, thus giving the committees proportionately more work. The appropriations committee has worked out a schedule of hearings which, If not extended, will end Feb ruary 1.

PLEASURE DRIVING BAN MAY END IN 10 WEEKS RATION COUPON BANKING EFFECTIVE JANUARY 27 Local Bank Preparing To Care For Extra Banking Duties. PA Officials Think Crisis Has Been Beached In 17 Eastern States. Tne possibility that the ban on pleasure driving In the East might be relaxed some 10 weeks hence is seen by Charles S. Phillips, OPA ra uontng omciaL Phillips, chief of the automotive supplies division of the Office of Price Administration, estimated at a special Senate committee hearing that a win ter fuel oil crisis In the 17-state area would be over in 65 to 70 days unless a heavy snowstorm impeded fuel oil and gasoline shipments, to the East coast The necessity to bring In. fuel oil for heating reduced the gasoline quota la the East and led to the . pleasure driving ban, he said. In the other states, where pleasure driving Is not prohibited, Phillips said, rationing boards were reviewing' the B and O gasoline ration books which they distributed hastily within 10 days so as to bring the average 'passenger automobile mileage to 5,000 miles Tear. -. :- ,' , ' If this mileage limitation Is attained, he added, the OPA tire rationing pro gram would be sufficient to keep pas senger cars 7 supplied for "many - months" without reliance on the syn- -,. the tie rubber program. , s Asked by Senator Burton, of Ohio, how he expected to enforce the East ern ban on pleasure driving, Phillips said .experience bad confirmed that "i majority of the public would cooper .. ate when they know how serious the petroleum situation was on the East ; coast." -? '"o ;-" - "The public has responded very - wen." he said. ' It has not yet been decided whether the -prohibition will be removed after the crisis Is passed, he added, but "It : may be possible." r-'-r-i,,. Phillips said the gasoline quota for , the Eastern area, assigned by the pe troleum administration for war - through the War Production Board, has been reduced from 390,000 barrels a day until it now Is 322,000 barrels for both passenger and commercial ve- nicies. The gasoline shortage on the East coast had brought the average ration to less than the 6,000 miles a year recommended by the Baruch cornmlt- tee's recommendation for rubber con servation, Phillips said. ' He said OPA Inspectors felt the black market -In gasoline was "rela J tively small, based not on the issuance of too many ration coupons to some users but on stn books. So far as OPA is aware, he said, transportation has not broken down anywhere as a result or gasoune ra ttoninff. despite preuictions at the out' set that it would, and the prop-ram had "gone Into effect with a minimum of hardship."

RAF Smashes leart Of Berlin "Ration coupon banking," a new type of banking service for retailers and wholesalers of rationed commod ities, designed to make the nation's ration program work more effectively, will be Inaugurated nere in Monroe on January 27, it is announced by the American Bank and Trust Co. This is a war service that the gov ernment has asked the banks to un dertake under , which wholesalers and the larger retailers will be required by the Office of Price Administration to open "ration bank accounts" in the banks with which they customarily do business. Into these "ration accounts' the wholesalers and retailers will de posit the ration coupons received from their customers against which they wil draw special "ration checks" when ordering new supplies. It Is expected that only the retailers wnose iooa sales in December, 1942 exceeded $5000 will be directed by the Office of Price Administration to open "ration ac counts." No charges of any kind will be made by the. banks for this service. Consumers such as housewives, mt- torists, and other Individuals who pur chase rationed commodities for con' sumption will not be affected by the new "ration coupon banking" system. They will continue to obtain their ra tion coupons from local, ration boards and they wil continue to spena tneir coupns at the stres Just as they have been doing In the past. Only certain dealers selling rationed commodities wil have to open "ration bank ac miinta " The banks will have nothing to do with the fixing of ration allotments or allowances, or with the Issuing of ration coupons. The local ration boards wil cntinue to perform these rune tlons. The new "ration banking" system will not affect the regular money or check accounts of the public at all. The public will continue to use their bank accounts in the customary way. The "ration bank accounts" will be new accounts for the handling of ra tion coupons only and will be entirely separate from all-other accounts in the banks. By depositing coupons in their "ration bank accounts" retailers and wholesalers will build up credits or balances of pounds, gallons, or points in the various rationed com modities. Against these balances they will draw special "ration checks" pay able to their suppliers when they or der inew stocks or supplies to sell to the public. " These "ration checks" will nave nothing tar do with the payment for the commodities ordered. Retailers and wholesalers will continue to pay their bills In the usual way. 'Ration coupon banking" Is a new plan for handling a lot of the work now done by the 5,500 local ration boards.- Collecting, counting, record lng, controlling, and safe-guarding of ration coupons and exchanging them for oertiflcates by means of which dealers order new supplies of com modities for sale to the public has threatened to over-burden the ration boards and possibly Jeapardise the flow of commodities to the public as additional commodities are rationed. The government has therefore asked the banks to undertake these account lng activities In order to assure the smooth running and success of the ra tion program. ' Rationing la designed to secure a fair share of scarce commodities for everybody. Ration coupon banking" is designed to help bring that about, m undertaking to operate this new "ra tion coupon banking" system the banks will perform a nonprofit war service for the government In doing this, the banks are simply adding an other service to the numerous war Jobs they are already performing.

Although 41,000 books have been received it was stated at the Board today that the number will not be sufficient to care for the needs in the county and an additional number is expected to arrive shortly, before these are distributed, thus giv ing every one their proper rationing book. During the past several days, nu merous requests have been made for the new books, it was stated. These books are not available now and will not be until the proper orders have been received at the local board and the books are issued on a nation-wide scale. Citizens are requested to not apply for them until they are notified through the press or otherwise. The local board as well as the OPA warns earnestly against hoarding of any rationed items. All rationed food except home canned that they own will have to be declared by' the registrants before a book can be ob tained, and stamps will be deducted by the boards. It should be remember ed that home canned fruits and vege tables are not on the rationed list. This fact should lend increased impetus to home canning this year in both rural and urban homes. Rationing will be preceded by a short "freeze" so that retailers can stock up and make ready for their participation in the progaram. During or before that period, War Rationing Book No. 2 will be issued for every man woman, and child in the country. The blue stamps in Book 2 are for processed food. The letter of the alphabet on the stamp indicates when it is good. The number on the stamp indicates its point value. Every man, woman and child will receive the same number of points, les deductions for excess stocks on hand. It will take both money and points to buy rationed foods. The housewife can choose what she wants to buy with her points, as the scarcer foods will be worth more, points, and the more plentiful ones will require less points. Col.

Senator Bankhead, Democrat of Ala bama, spokesman for the group, an nounced that selective service officials would Issue a new directive to local draft boards immediately. It will make the "16-unit" formula an objective, rather than a requirement, and the boards will be granted broad power to deviate from this objective, .even to the extent of deferring a producer of only eight units. The 16-unit formula sets a standard for determining whether a farm work er should be deferred. It stipulates that an essential worker is one who tends 16 milk cows or does a compara ble amount of work toward the pro duction of livestock, poultry, grain and other products deemed essential. The conference, in Bankhead 's of fice, was attended by Chairman Paul McNutt of the war Man-power commission. Major General Lewis B. Hershey, director of selective service, Sam B. Bledsoe, assistant to Secretary of Agriculture Claude Wickard, and Dr. Sherman E. Johnson of the War Food administration. The senators, in addition to Bankhead, were Ty dings, Democrat, of Maryland, Wheeler, Democrat, of Montana, Russell. Demo crat of Georgia, Gillette, Democrat of Iowa, McNary, Republican of Oregon, Thomas, Democrat of Oklahoma and Aiken, Republican of Vermont. The regulation should be helpful in halting the continuous dram on farm labor that Is imperilling our food and fibre production," Bankhead told reporters. "How muc hit helps de pends altogether upon Its administra tion." Under the revised regulations, local boards will be directed to classify in Class 2-0 or Class S-O all registrants who are considered essential on the farm under the new standards. In 2-G will be Included essential farm workers . without dependents and In 3-C those with dependents. - In authorizing local boards to defer workers with less than 16 units of production by reason of variations in production conditions and methods In dierent states, the proposed regulation states:. It would appear unreasonable, however, under most circumstances. for a local board to consider a reg istrant for classification in class 3-C or S-O unless his own personal and direct sorts result in the production of at least eight war units of essen tial farm produota."

F. veteran and holder of the Croix de Guerre, arrived here Saturday to take over the command of Camp Sutton, succeeeding Colon Mel vin O. Paris, who left for duty at an undisclosed destination. The new and old commanding officers met at the Monroe railway station as the one was arriving and the other leaving. exchanged greetings and wishes each other good luck. They were class mates at West Point. Colonel Wheeler's army service, be ginning with his graduation from the Military academy in 1907, had already taken him fairly far afield before the first world war began. He had served two years in the Philippines, com manded the mounted scout detachment of the 15th Infantry in North China during the troubles there in 1913 and 1914. and served on the Mexican border prior to the opening of hostili ties against the Central Powers. He went overseas in 1917 as adju tant of the 26th Infantry, first division served as aide-de-camp to Maj. Gen. Robert Lee Bullard, and commanded the first battalion, 26th Infantry in the Bols le Pretre sector and during the Saint Mihiel offensive. Before the Frst division entered its first sector he served a month each with a French and a British division, and graduated from the first course, Army General Staff college. He was cited In general orders of the First division and award ed the Croix de Guerre, with palm. He has the Mexican Border medal, the Victory medal with five clasps, the Army of Occupation of Germany medal and the American Defense medal. After the Armistice he attended the University of Toulouse, and graduated from the Ecole Superleure de Guerre in the Class of 1919-1921. Since then he has graduated at the Infantry school, advanced course, the Command and General Staff school and the -School of Military Government. Colonel Wheeler's commands since the war, interspersed among staff as signments and intervals at school, have lncludoed battalions of the Ninth infantry at Fort Sam Houston, the Fourth infantry, from 1938 to 1940 at Fort George Wright, Washington, and the CCC district of Fort George Wright which included 30 camps in the moun tains of Idaho and Montana. He was, also, senior instructor of the 32nd division, National Guard. In 1940 he commanded the shore forces in landing maneuvers at Mon terey. Later, during the same ma neuvers, he commanded the Third division in two tactical exercises, also the Red force during the Corps Area Commander's tactical Inspection. From March, 1941 to January, 1942, he com manded the Second Replacement group Infantry Replacement Training center at Camp Wheeler, Georgia. At different times during his military seervlce Colonel Wheeler has been an instructor at the Command and Gen eral Staff school, twice a member of the Infantry board, and a member of the Historical Section of the Army War college. He has travelled widely in Western Europe, Asia and Mexico. He has translated many military texts by officers of the French army, and is the author of "The Infantry Bat talion In War." Fred O. Smith, R2, Marshville, put 1600 baby chicks on November 4, 1942. These chicks were sold this week and out of the 1600 chicks started, 1542 were sold at ten weeks old. The total cost of chicks and feed was $607.05. The rbollers were sold for $104140. The labor return or nroflt was $43445. Each chick consumed 9.17 pounds oi feed for the ten weeks. The total cost of each chick and feed consumed was $04787. The average price received per chick was $0.65, giving a pront per bird of $0.2711. The record made by Mr. Smith was extra good because of the hanadicap which he has. Mrs. Smith has been confined to the house for several years and has not been able to do any work. Caring for 1600 chicks required a mat deal of time but this accord shows that Mr. Smith did an ex-el- lent job of care and management, for which he received approximately $5.00 per day, plus $100.00 worth of fer tiliser. To make fifteen cents profit per chick Is considered a good average return. Tet Mr. Smith made 87 oents per chick. Assistant County Agent Mayneia, who furnishes the above facts, la high ly elated over what Mr. Smith hat done. Handicapped as ne was, sir. MayfleU thinks he has done a won derful job and set a great example. The government has asked Union county to produce 600,000 broilers this vear and Mr. Mayneia reels sure wst it will be easily done if others follow this example. ..t ' - FIRST SOUTH CAROLINA WOMAN ELECTROCUTED Pays With Life For Murder Helped Plan She Tangled threads of an Edgefield county vendetta feud causing five vio. lent deaths were cut Friday as the State took the lives of three persons In the electric chair.
