J. 1 ( 1AY GET SPEAKERSHIP It's a "presidential year" to be sure, and maybe by next November, Union county folks will get all stirred up over politics, but right now, they dont neem to care which way the political Tabblt Jumps and are concerned only with the nation's war effort. Democrats havent announced plans lor any sort of a convention and are not likely to until the State parley date has been set, nor has the Re publican organization announced any -plans. Meanwhile, Democrats are sitting tight, pretty certain President Roose--velt will run again, and It will be time enough to get all excited, when the primary battles really open. All county officers with the -exception of Clerk of Court, Sheriff and the Register of Deeds will again face a Ibevy of voters. These officers are elected for a four year tenure in of' See, the Clerk of Court J. Emmett 1ffln and Shereiff B. Prank Nlven, having been re-elected to their re spective offices in 1942. As to the Board of County Com Tnlssioners, political wise-acres would make no predictions as to the contest, trot every indication is that, the citi aens as a whole, are satisfied with the record of the present board, but in this case as in others of a silimar na ture, there is bound to be some com petition, If and when, hats start flying Into the ring. From reliable sources it was learned today, that O. L. Richardson will again be a candidate for the House of "Bepresentatives to succeed himself, in which capacity he has served most acceptably for the past several years. Tn addition to serving on a number of the most Important committees of the House, Mr. Richardson has taken s leading part In all legislation per taining to the best interest of the county and state. Reports from Ral eigh say he will also be a candidate lor Speaker or the House ana aireaay, 5lans are being formulated by his trlends and suporters throughout the state and In the Legislature to place Tilm In that Important position. Sena tor Coble Funderburk will not be eligible for re-election to his post this -year due to the rotation plan of elect ing senators from the district com posed of Union, Anson and Stanly counties. Union county will not vote on candidate for this office In the pri mary as the senators must come from Vnson and Stanly counties this year. Politicians may get warmed up over the primary, but there's little chance for action on their part until Hoey, Morrison, Cherry, McDonald and the other hopefuls start their cam paign In earnest. Tire Shortage Is Explained Official i Tells Congress Lack Of Labor And Bottleneck Cause Delay ACTION MAY IE TAKEN A bottleneck In rayon and ( cotton fabrics output and a shortage of labor In the tire factories, .partly explain why synthetic rubber tires are not gen erally available now, Congress learned yesterday. This testimony was given a House appropriations committee by 8tanley T. Crossland, vice paresident of the Rubber Reserve company, an RFC subsidiary, during hearings Just made public. Crossland said, however, the syn thetic plants, In which $750,000,000 have been Invested, will have a capa city of 850,000 tons by the end of 1944. He said also that there 1s a short age of butadiene and facilities for producing this prime base. Under normal peacetime conditions, lie said, synthetic rubber could com pete In price with crude rubber. Now, lie added, costs run about like this: "If we use alcohol at 90 cents a gallon, synthetic rubber will cost somewhere between 40 and 45 cents a pound; If we use the butylene In making butadiene, at 9 cents a gallon, we would be able to make synthetic rubber for somewhere between 20 and 28 cents ft pound." Adding the charge for amortising the plant over five-year period In creases the rubber cost another six eentt pound. ' .

After its conclusion members of the unit will serve as hostesses at a tea in USO's recently reopened Franklin Street Club, to which civilian women in the neighborhood are invited. The 340th Army Band, under the direction of W. O. Gerald M. Clapper, will furnish martial music for the .'marching and play selected concert i i . Qumuen auier-wiuu. These activities mark the beginning of the second week of the Camp Sut ton WAC recruiting drive, conducted from an office In the county court house under the direction of U. Eliza beth J. Rodgers, recruiting officer. If the weather is Inauspicious, the drilling may be deferred until an other day, but the tea will take place regardless. Sgt. Donls Conn, of Morgantown, W.

Boards Irked By Deferments Too Many Government Em ployes Reported Rejected For Service POINT SYSTEM IS URGED A House committee heard yester day that men In "high government places" are being rejected by the Army as "psychoneurotic." This report by Fred O. Fraser, chair man of a District of Columbia selec tive service board; prompted Repre sentative Harness, Republican of In diana, to remark that "from a lot of things some of these bureaucrats have been doing down here, I don't doubt at all they belong In that class." Fraser was one of several local draft board officials who protested to a military subcommittee against a blanket 60-day deferment for fathers in Federal service. They contended lt had resulted In drafting privately- employed fathers ahead of schedule. Fraser said rejections in his board are running about one of every seven registrants and that he found lt "dif ficult to understand how men can be employed In high government places" despite their classification as psycho neurotic. He added, however, that not all of the rejections were based on psychoneurosis. Another local chairman, Stephen James of Montgomery county, Md., said he also was "disturbed" by the large number of rejections for psycho neurosis or, as he put it, "inadequate personality.'' Another district chairman, Leo A. Rover, said his board was ignoring the 60-day deferment order because lt violated the law against blanket de ferments. The deferments expiring March 31, were ordered to give gov ernment agencies time to determine which of their employes should be listed as essential. Edfrar Puryear. chairman of a com mittee created to pass on applications for deferment of government worxers, told the House group that a "point system" used to determine a mans qualifications for deferment was In tended only as a guide and emphasized that each case was handled on its own merits. Committee members had com plained the "points system" gave heavy consideration to a registrant's age and the number of children, a con sideration they said was not given to prewar fathers In non-government ser vice. A. J. DrlscoH, District of Columbia Board No. 3. said his experience had been that the board invariably was overruled on appeals In refusing to defer a government worker. Harness told Driscoll he believed many appeals were decided by the director of selective service "through Influence from the White House," but did not elaborate. vThe possibility of radio in connection with education is to be discussed in a pamphlet about to be issued by the Office of Education, "F-M for Educa tion."

PURPLE PYTHONS BAG SEVENTH VICTORY, 31-22 Local Girls Lose To LUesville As Boys Defeat Anaonitea. (By Vernon Wall) The Monroe Purple Pythons bagged their seventh victory of the season last Tuesday night by defeating the scrappy and game LUesville five 31 to 22. This was the second victory over the LUesville boys but lt was also the second triumph for the LUesville - girls by a score of 34 to 13. Again showing their metal, the Purple Tornado struck hard and swift, leaving LUesville reeling from the im paofc. Aat the end of the first quarter, the Purole auints were ahead 9 to a, holding the lead the remainder of the game, although LUesville gamely made a bid for victory during the second quarter to set the score at the half, 13 to 15. RerjeatlnK past performance, Monroe ran away in the third period to score 11 points and in the last quarter the second team held against the best that LUesvUle could send. Co-starring for the Pythons was MUton Trull at guard and MUton Dur ham at center, each scoring 11 points. Captain Hunter Presson, also at guard became runner-up with four points, while Co-Captain Richard Edgewortn and BUly EngUsh, alternating as for wards, took two points each. The re maining point was taken by Halgler, an untiring and dependable iorwara. Vaughn Lemmon, Sonny English, Eu gene Derick. Don Usher, and Joe Ross came in during the final period. The Monroe girls lost the decision but put up a game fight all the way against an excellent opponent. A hard loss for the girls was the absence of Sarah Shute at forward. Playing outstandingly, June Ruth Harris drop ped 10 points whUe Bitsy Lee, the tiny but scrappy center, took the remaining 3 points. On the starting lineup was Slkes, Lee, and Harris as forwards and Baucom, Hunter and Drane as guards. Clontsr. Powell, Goudelock, Chonls and Cook alternated during the latter part of the game. Dlggs, with 25 of the 34 points scored for LUesvUle, was the outstanding girl of the game, while Charles fol lowed up with the remaining nine points. Completing the lineup was Garris, Mcintosh, Powell, and Wall. The only substitution was Ingram. WEDDINGT0N NEWS The P. T. A. met at the school Mon day night, February 7. There was a good attendance.

Because on that day, they will begin using the new OPA one point tokens in connection with their regular ration stamps. These tokens are slightly smaller and thinner than a dime and are made of a light but durable plastic. Stamped on each token is "OPA 1 Red (or Blue) Point." To begin with, she wiU get some of these tokens as change from her grocer and butcher red tokens In change from her new red stamps and blue tokens In change from her new blue stamps. There after she can use these tokens, at 1 polnt value, on the same purchase on which she uses stamps of similar or equivalent color. To aid the housewife in switching over to the revised food rationing system, OPA has prepared the fol low calendar: i BROWN STAMPS: Y and Z. (Book 3) will continue valid for meats, cheese, etc., untU March 20 at their face value of 8, 5, 2 and 1 points as in the past. RED TOKENS, however, may be used with brown stamps after February 27. GREEN STAMPS: K. L and M (Book 4) wUl continue valid for pro cessed foods until March 20 at their face value, as in the past. BLUE TOKENS may be used with green stamps after February 27. RED STAMPS: Three red stamps A8, B8 and C8 In Book 4 become valid on February 27 with a point value of 10 each or a total value of 30 points. They will be good through May 30, 1944, for use with red TO KENS in buying meats and fats. Three more red stamps wUl become valid March 12 and others successively dur jng the year. BLUE STAMPS: Five blue stamps A8, B8, C8, D8 and E8 in Book 4 wiU become valid February 27 with a total value of 50 points or 10 points each. They will be good thcough May 30, 1944, and may be used with BLUE TOKENS for buying processed foods. OPA gave this example of shopping with stamps and taken: If you buy items worth 23 blue points, you will give . your merchant two blue stamps and three blue tokens. If you have no tokens at the moment you will give three blue stamps (worth 30 points) and will receive seven blue tokens In change. In all transactions until March 20, when the green and brown run out you can get change In tokens for these stamps Just as well as for the new red and blue stamps. Fur thermore, in ease some localities might be short of tokens at the beginning, during the period between. February 27 and . March SO when the brown and green; stamps run out valid point green stamps and valid 1-polnt brown stamps may be used where nec essary In making change; valid 1-polnt green stamps In place of blue tokens and valid 1-polnt brown stamps tn place of red tokens. - t OPA also added these highlights: (1) Wo tokens win be issued to con sumers. They win be obtained only as "ehanae" from stores.- Stamca mar not be exchanged for tokens.1 - . a) Tokens are. valid Indefinitely but, while they have no expiration data, thev should be anank In infer- once to stamps.

Agent) A county-wide Rat Control Program wil Ibe put on in Union county on March 23 and 24, as a Joint under taking between aU agricultural agencies of the county and the County Health Department. The Union County CouncU of Agri cultural Workers met at the agricul ture building in Monroe, Monday, February 14th and made plans for the rat control campaign. L. O. Whitehead, U. S. Fish and Wild Life Service, Washington, D. C, will be in Union county on March 23 and 24 to assist with the rat control work. Figures released by the De partment of Agriculture In Washing ton, show that a rat will consume 50 pounds of food in one year and the waste plus his food cost $4.00 per rat per year. Reports from fanners in this county indicate that we have a large population of rats. The bait to be used in this campaign wUl consist of fish and cereal pre pared with Red Squil. This bait will not kill any other animal and Is a sure kill for rats. The bait will be put up in $1.00 packages and one package is sufficient to bait the average Union county farm. How To Secure The Bait Place your order for bait with the vocational agriculture teachers in the different schools, or with the county agent's office before March 10, 1944. Workers with Soil Conservation or Farm Security will also take your order. The people living in town may also secure this bait. Small Incomes Get No Relief Proposal To Exempt Them From Taxes Is Brushed Aside NEW PROPOSITION MADE Proposals to drop from the Federal tax polls approximately 9,000,000 smaU taxpayers was brushed aside yesterday by the House ways and means com mittee in Its quest for ways to sim plify income tax returns. The committee, however, took one step in the direction of simplification by voting to attempt a consolidation of the Victory, normal, and surtaxes without changing substantially the ex isting overall payments. The committee's staff of experts was given the task of drawing up proposals for the Integration. The action lays aside, at least tem porarily, a proposal by Representative Carlson, Republican of Kansas, that the government drop from the rolls those who pay the Victory tax, but whose income is not large enough to come under the regular income levies. A simUar proposal was made by the Treasury last fall. Congressional sources expect the Treasury and probably some labor groups to oppose the merger of, the Victory tax into the permanent tax structure. Some groups contend the Victory levy Is a temporary war-time tax only. Chairman Doughton, Democrat of North Carolina, said the ways and means group decided "to get as far as practicable as near the same amount as by the present law from each tax payer." Significantly, he emphasized that this did not mean Congress would consider this year no new proposals for larger wartime revenue, but that so far as simplification is concerned the Individual burdens wUl remain the same. If this can be done. MeanwhUe, congressional Democratic leaders were reported to have coun seled President Roosevelt at a White House conference against vetoing the $2,315,000,000 new revenue measure, with the admonition that no new revenue measure would be forthcoming this year. The bill, which was sent to the President last week, contains only about one-fifth the $10,500,000,000 requested by the administration.

Body Adopts Advisory Reso lution Urging Relief For Europe's Hungry GETS BELATED ACTION Relief for hungry peoples of Europe was urged by the Senate yesterday In approval of a resolution held up for a year and four days largely because Britain has opposed loosening the continental blockade. The purely advisory resolution asks that the government try to work out a system of relief "for aU stricken and hungry countries where the need is now the most acute." It calls for consultation with Great Britain, Switzerland and Sweden in establishing a plan for feeding people in Belgium, Norway, Poland, the Netherlands, Greece, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia. Senator Taft, Repub lican of Ohio, observed that since In troduction of the resolution, "The French situation has become such that feeding is also possible there." He did not explain that. Former President Hoover, who han dled European relief In the last war, supported the resolution. Witnesses at hearings said that food and ships of neutral countries would be available without expense to this government to carry out the purpose. Britain has taken the position that relaxation of the blockade would be of advantage to the Germans. Taft said no shipments would be made until guarantees are obtained fro mhte German government that the food will reach only the chUdren for whom it is intended, that no food will be shipped out of the country in volved for German use, and that the Germans shau not reduce the amount of food they have been supplying those countries. Taft added that if the guarantee was broken, "shipments wUl cease, and the amount which could possibly be seized by the Germans at any one time will be Infinitesimal." Senator Gillette, Democrat of Iowa, toW a reporter he felt sure that "such a concrete expression of the hone of the Senate will spur the State de partment to renewed activity."
