Senn was accompanying the combat patrol along a river bed in the rugged, mountainous terrain near Abokao on Layte Island, when the action occurred. First there came a call for him to move to the head of the column to aid a wounded scout. Machine gun bullets and snipers had the area well covered, but the Pomar ia aid man advanced through the fire to the soldier who had been hit. While he was completing treatment on this casualty, another call came for his assistance. This time it was a seriously wounded man on a flank ing movement.

Then, by all means, be careful of your driving, particularly during the hours when school children are on the sterets. Remember, children do not pos- eeag the same judgment ao grown- people and often dash into the streets without thinking. The death of a child under the wheels of your car will stay with you the balance of your life. How much better to drive carefully and save yourself remorse as well as some mother and father. MC LEAN ADMITS TAKING LARGE AMOUNT OF CASH ABBEVILLE, Sept. 3.—F. B. Mc- Lane, sheriff of Abbeville county for 21 years, pleaded guilty this morning in criminal court to embezzlement of more than $200,000 of county money and was sentenced by Judge Wililam M. Grimball of Charleston to five years and was put on probation for this time. Solicitor Rufus Fant of Anderson, appointed to manage the case in the absence of Solicitor Beasley and So licitor Chapman of Newberry, gave their consent to this arrangement and the case came to an end.

Affidavits by Dr. Wilkinson of Greenville and Dr. Rainey of Anderson, testifying to the condition of health of the former sheriff, were also read. He is 72 years of age. McLean was ' accom panied in court by his son, Giles Mc- lane. > DRAFT AND DISCHARGES PLAGUE LAWMAKERS Some Want Soldiers Out, Others Do Not Want Youths Called Washington, Sept. 3.—An avalan che of letters and telegrams from constituents wanting somebody let out or kept out of the Army put Con gress members in a quandary today as they ^prepared for the first post war session of the national legisla ture. With the reconvening of the two houses after the summer recess due Wednesday, lawmakers at both ends of the Capitol admitted frankly that thew were undecided what to do about the evertightening issue: who shall be taken into the services or kept there? Letters Pour In Their problem was described by Senator Lucas who said he was one of those who had been getting a flood of letters. The writers, he told reporters, leave no doubt how strong ly they feel on tie question of getting long-service veterans out of uniform, or stopping the drafting of their 18 and 19 year old sons. The possibility of having to choose between keeping the veterans and taking the youths makes the prob lem tougher. And, on the othe hand, sand Sen ator Lucas: “I a m not going to vote for any thing that will reduce occupation forces be£»w the level that the army and navy say they need to show the Germans and the Japs that we mean business this time. “We’re going to have to keep a watch on them until they change their way of life. “I don’t know how this matter of the draft and the release of veterans is going to work out.” Solons Are Swamped Senators Taft, George and White, were among others who said they had been “swamped” with communica tions on the subject. Until the returning legislators be gan to compare notes on how the people are reacting to peacetime armed service, job and pay check is sues had had the spotlight in pre liminary committee meetings. These issues centered around the proposal to boost unemployment pay with fed eral funds to a level of $25 a-week for 26 weeks, and the so-called full employmet bill. But most of the returning lawmak ers saw the draft and discharge questions as more personal, and therefore more immediate, matters. They said that might change as more war jobs are cut off. Mrs. W. F. Partridge (Clara Esk ridge) and children, Molly and Frank returned to their home in Savannah, Ga., Sunday after a stay of several weeks here with her mother, L. G. Eskridge. Mr. Partridge came over on Saturday for the weekend and they went back with him. J. D. French has returned from a business trip to Boston and other eastern cities. , « FALL TERM AT COLLEGE STARTS SEPTEMBER 11 The fall term of Newberry College will begin September 11th with the Freshman Program. All new stu dents are required to attend this pro gram, which is designated to acquaint new students with their college du ties. Necessary information will be sent to those who request it. A larger civilian enrollment than had earlier been anticipated is now expected. Veterans are returning to the College in increasing numbers to take advantage of the G. I. Bill of Rights. ARE WE PLAIN SAPS It is surprising to see how England and France have adopted planned national socialization of industry as a political philosophy after they turn ed to the biggest capitalistic country in the world to save them from des truction by it. There was delightful sarcasm in the remarks of “conservative” Sir Oliver Lyttleton in the House of Commons, when he told the house that the British standards of living depend on financial aid from the U. S., and that “you must be careful about the nasty things you say a- bout private enterprise that will af front American opinion.” Why should the socialistic regime in England think of turning to the United States and private enterprise to finance its socialistic schemes? Let the “liberal” party in England tax its own people to pay for the “gifts” which it promises them at the hands of government. If social ism is superior to free enterprise, it can certainly finance its spendings. Mr. deGaulle is now in the United States. He will undoubtedly seek financial aid for the program of “na tional socialization” of industry which is planned for France. Why should we finance a system of gov ernment that threatened world peace? We spent countless Ameri can lives and some three hundred BILLIONS of dollars to help chrb the crushing effect of national soc ialism under Hitler and Mussolini. The seeds of national socialism are well planted in our own soil, in the form of electric power “authorities.” And congress is being asked for ad ditional billions of dollars to nourish and expand this malignant political growth here. Are we now ready to admit that the totalitarian type of centralizzed government is superior to our own free enterprise and profiit system? The United States stands as the last great exponent of private enter prise, private opportunity and the philosophy of allowing the individual to profit from his own labors. Are we going to throw in with schemes of those who cried for help from political oppression and now seek to adopt the system we fought to save them from? JOHN C. LONG John Carroll Long, 28, died sud denly while at work at his home at Little Mountain Friday afternoon. He was manager of the farm of Col. and Mrs. Locke.
