Leadership of
Softball League
At StakeTonight
The leadership of the Kiwanis
Club Softball league will be at
stake tonight when the Refinery
and Firestone teams in what is
expected to be the most interest-
ing contest of the league thus
far. In three games thus far play-
ed, the Refinery team is unde-
feated and is the undisputed lead-
er in the first half of league play.
The Firestone team can tie for
the leadership by defeating the
Refinery team tonight. Both
teams are pointing for this game
and a battle is in prospect. A
win by the Refinery team will
give that team a stranglehold on
the first half championship.
Second place in the league will
also change tonight. Firestone,
Titus County Aggies, and Ame-
erican Legion teams are tied !
for second place. The Titus i
County Aggies meet the Ameri-

this game will have undisputed
possession of second place or be

ROME, June 14 (ZP) — Premier
Alcide de Gasperi appealed to
Italians today to support the re-
public, regardless of how they
voted.
The premier addressed the na-
tion by radio in a tense atmos-
phere after King Umberto II

the removal of rubbish and the
elimination of breeding and har-
boring places for insects is more
important than the use of DDT,
although that chemical will be of
great value in destroying in-
sects.
Mayor Ben L. Patrick announc-
ed that the city government is
considering the appointment of
a sanitary official to inspect all
food producing and dispensing
concerns and also a plan for gar-
bage removal, which would be
in addition to the voluntary clean-
up campaign.
Open toilets came up for dis-
cussion also in the meeting, and
City Attorney Hiram G. Brown
stated that steps will be taken
to force people who can connect
with sewer lines to do so.
The Chamber of Commerce is
now working out plans for con-
ducting the campaign and de-
velopments will be announced

Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Lide cele-
brated their 58th wedding anni-
versary at their home on East
Third Street Friday, receiving a
number of their friends through-
out the city.
There was no formal celebra-
tion of the occasion, as Mr. and
Mrs. Lide preferred it to be a
quiet occasion. However, they
were remembered by their friends
with flowers and messages of
congratulation.
This estimable couple express-
ed gratitude that during their
long married life there has been
no death in the immediate fam-
ily and that when they made
trips they were never called
home on account of sickness of
relatives.
They have made their home in
the same block ever since they
were married and expect to con-
tinue to reside in their present j
home.
Few couples are so fortunate as
to be together for so long a per-
iod as Mr. and Mrs. Lide, and
their many friends wish for them
still further years of happiness.

Much of Authority
Taken From Bureau
By Senate Action
WASHINGTON, June 14 (ZP) —!
Administration leaders, consum- 1
er and labor organizations were !
putting pressure today on Presi- j
dent Truman to veto the bill
passed last night by the Senate
which strips the OPA of much of ’
its wartime authority by taking 1
ceilings off such items as meat,!
eggs. milk, butter, chickens and 1
tobacco. The Senate passed the'
measure by a vote of 53 to 11. i
The bill, which extends the life
of the diminished price-control rI\«||r» |)ppl]ripu
agency for one year beyond June ' Ullldll .LJWlllIvo
30». amounts to a major defeat
for the administration.
It goes now to the House, which .
has passed its own price-control |
bill different in form but just as
unacceptable to stabilization offi |
cials. A conference committee ’
probably would get the job of J
reconciling the differences in the
two measures.
OPA backers, fighting back
angrily as new curbs were voted
into the measure one after an-
other, asserted that the legisla-
tion would “massacre and cruci-
fy” price control, and that the
coalition which put it over would
be sorry in six months.
Opponents of the agency’s
powers argued that they were
taking necessary steps to free
business for production and full-
scale reconversion.
Chester Bowles, stabilization
chief, and Paul Porter, head of
OPA, had nothing to say Thurs-
day. Associates have reported
them both ready to resign if they
Jo not get what they consider a
(workable price control bill.
Just before the final vote,
Democratic Leader Alben Bark-
ley of Kentucky told the Sehati
WASHINGTON, June 14 (J5) 7-
In his press conference today
President Truman declined to
commit himself when asked
whether he would veto the weak-
ened OPA extension bill, which
the Senate passed last night.
Mr. Truman said he wanted to
see and study the bill first. The
House today refused to pass the
bill with the Senate’s curtail-
ments and sent it to a joint Sen-
ate-House committee for “har-
monizing” differences.
At the same news conference,
Mr. Truman said Justice Robert
Jackson had issued his state-
ment criticising Justice Hugh
Black despite his request for prior
consultation. He declined to com-
ment when asked if he thought
both justices should resign.

BELGRADE, June 14 (ZP) —
General Draja Mihailovic wearily
agreed with his prosecutor today
that a letter produced in his
treason trial amounted to proof
of his personal collaboration with

The letter said: “Yesterday the
Italians helped us well.”
Mihailovic said that receiving
arms from Italians was his “col-

" ~ ~* A considerable number of Mt.
Pleasant people attended the
mass meeting Thursday night at
the court house for a discussion
of plans for a general cleanup of

The business! section will be ask-

PARIS, June
Coach H. L. Coody announces
the schedule of football games foj-

Since Clarksville is now in an-

probaby develop into an annual
