Girl Scents Meet
The Girl Scouts of Lydia Mill held
their regular meeting on Thursday
afternoon at the home of the leader,
Mrs. Hugh Eichelberger, on Walnut
street.
The educational part of the pro
gram included a study of the flag
and its history and use, including
correct methods of display in public
places. After a business session a rec
reational hour was enjoyed. The
hostess, assisted by several of the
scouts, served dainty refreshments.
In a three-hour speech in the
ate, Senator Norris said: “This is
local matter; this is a national
Conflrmation of this nominee of
notorious Hague machine will be re-1
ceived with shame and condemnation!
by the liberty-loving people of this j
nation.” Those favoring this nomi
nation were challenged to give their
reasons, but except for a few re
marks by Senator McCarran of Ne
vada, they remained silent Senator
Smathers of New Jersey, chief sup
porter of the candidate, said that he
would not make a two-hour speech
he had prepared in order to save
time and permit the senate to vote.
When the vote was taken, only one
Republican voted for Meaney and
only one Democrat voted against
him. The nomination was therefore
confirmed by a vote of 39 to 20.
An equally pointed example of
“politics first” was displayed in the
house of representatives when .its
members agreed to lop off more than
half of the appropriation requested
' for the Office of Price Administra-
'tion. Leon Henderson, head of the
OPA, had estimated that he would
need $161,000,000 to carry on the
work of his office during the next
year, but after only- a. cursory analy
sis of his needs the house voted to
cut his appropriation to $75,000,000.
It was evident that this cut was
made, not as a means of reducing
government costs, but to punish Mr.
Henderson for his unwillingness to
play politics.
Mr. Henderson now employs 34,576
people in Washington, in the field
and on rationing boards and esti
mates that to do his job adequately
he will need to employ 88,000 people
during the coming year. But Mr.

Meet Rigid Require-
ments. ?
With registration for basic gas ra
tion books completed last Saturday,
the -Laurenr county gas rationing
board is now engaged in handling

Contrary to a widespread opinion,

tra ration books must meet rigid re-
quirsments.
The books are good for a minimum
of tfarm months and tboee who get

piration of thrae months.
In passing on applications for ad
ditional gas allowances, the board is
