Sometimes somebody will say, after an
appeal for helping a truly worthy cause:
“Well, I wanted to give—but nobody con-
tacted me.” . . . Yet, isn’t it true, that it’s
always possible for us to give? We’re think-
ing, now, of the polio fund drive. . . Here’s
how easy it is to contribute: Any time you’re
down town, you’ll find test-tube cash con-
tainers, in virtually all business houses, to
make giving convenient. Many, of course
will want to send checks.

Good Cemetery News
Interested in everything constructive is
the community, the News is deeply impress-
ed by progress being achieved in improve-
ments to the cemeteries here, under t he gui-
dance of the fused organization, the Myrtle
Cemetery Co., Inc.
Elsewhere (on Page I) in this issue will
be found an informative and gratifying re-
port from efficient Secretary-Treasurer J.
li. McMurray of the cemetery unit.
As those who have visited the final rest-
ing places are quite well aware, numerous
improvements have ls*en made. And they
w ill be extremely pleased to learn today that
the goal of 800 paying lot owners is practi-
cally at hand.
The perpetual-care arrangement is
catching on splendidly and there is encour-
agement all around.
We find, from the report, that if 100
to 200 more paying lot owners were to line
up, it would be a wonderful thing for the
work which is being undertaken. Perhaps
the spirit for support will extend on out and
encompass a considerable number who have I
not yet entered the funding plan.
You know, there's something about well-
kept cemeteries that commend a community
to those who pass its way, as well as those
to make it their home. Indeed, everyone ap-
preciates proper respect’s being paid those
who have gone on.
So, may this fine movement meet with
the success which is anticipated for it. A gen-
eral determined sentiment toward support
will make the dream come true.
And here's a salute to the effectively-
working staff and to those who, through
their backing, are enabling their efforts to
click.

Amazing GOP Step About Grain Thefts Told
I HE WASHINGTON MRRRY-GO-ROUND
Bv DREW PEARSON
^ Washington.—Republican leaders hove
token un amazing step regarding the theft
of alHiut $5,000,000 worth of grain, Cotton
and lieans from government warehouses.
•They have “terminated” the Agriculture
Department officials who convicted the
criminals, held up collection of money from
those who illegally purchased the ktolcn farm
produce, w hile Senator Butler of-Nebraska,
Republican, has introduced a hl|| which
would prevent collecting money from the
purchasers.
The theft oi tnts grain, beaigb. etc,, was
one of the most brazen in the history of gov-
ernment farm price supports. Under the nup-
port law. the Commodity Credit Corporation,
a Subsidiary of the Agriculture Department
loans money to the farmer after he stores
his crop in a warehouse. If he defaults on his
loan, then the crop automatically reverts to
the government. Every elevator operator,
warehouseman and gruin dealer knows this.
Yet in Texas and the Midwest, Several d»*-
liberately sold government grain, and cer-
tain grain dealers bought it with their eyes
wide open.
—ROLL CALL OF CONVICTIONS—
As a result, William F. Farrell, Dallas
representative of the solicitor of the Agri-
culture Department, moved in vigorously,
under direct orders from Secretary Charlie
Bran nan to prosecute. He secured the follow-
ing convictions:
C. M. Henderson, Furwull, Tex.—Four
, years in jail and $1,000 fine, with $1,086,000
still to be collected for the federal govern-
ment.
Tenner’s Inc., Cortez. Colo.—Harold Ten-
ner. 18 months; Halworth Tenner, three
years suspended sentence: R. R. Wilson, 16
months and $10,000 fine. Total to be repaid
the government: $1,108,000,
Hetman Dawson. Fort Worth. Tex.—
Six years in prison and $15,000 fine, with
$454,000 to be repaid to the government.
Cl. L. Shannon, oiiuwi, TV*.—Five
in prison and $15,000 fine, with $1,04,1,000
to Ih* repaid the government.
In other parts of the country, Francis
Spellman of Rochelle, 111., was given five
veurs in prison, though later revised down-
ward ; while C. I.. Bert of Clarion and Galt
Iowa, was given two years. The above com-
panies owed the government $5111.000 and
$1**8.000 respectively.
And with most of the warehousemen in
jail, the former lH*mocratie administration
of the Agriculture Department had moved
to collect nv*»e than $6,t*H).lHK) from the
tmon denier* who purchased the illegal grain
with their eyes wide open.
However, nhortlv after K.*ra Uenaow took
over the Agncultuiv 18-pei tm«*nt. a special
delivery letter dated March $0, HMUI was
ent to William Farrell in Ihdl**. ordering
him to h,4d up claims to collect thi* mane' .
The letter read in part: **Although you
ahooUl continue preparation of cone* w\oK-
»ny third-party purchasers, vou should not
tak, ant* affirmative step* toward the in-
ititutse of new suit* against third-party
Ipivheeiy or the making 4 additional de-
mand' for pa'intent upnn them until further
advice i* received front thin office "
At of t«sAo>— nine month* later—no fur-
the* advice has teen received
Note—Farrell, however, turned his
case* oxer to the Jwlke I Vi*ar«iu*nt and it'*
orprMted that soaar official* at the Ju»tire

Iwt Department and are endeavoring to
fsoeenete the chum* anvwrax

Fortetl. who weemed nawt
—and combine it with the Little Rock, Ark.,
office.
However, Farrell and his staff of seven-
teen, many of them war veterans, were not
permitted to compete with members of the
Little Rock office to see which had the best
Civil Service ratings and let the highest men
continue.
In brief, Farrell and staff appear to
Uuve l>een deliberately discriminated against.

» Meanwhile, here i* Home of
pulling which went on ImcksUtge in Wash-
ington. The Texas Grain Dealers Association
has been busy behind the scenes, also the
National Grain Dealers Association. During
these huddles, Agriculture Department of-
ficials suggested to the grain dealers 'that
they sponsor legislation to hold up collection
of the $6,000,000. But the grain dealers
shied away. t
Meanwhile, the Benson boys wrote tho
letter of March .10 holding up all prosecution
of claims.
The letter was signed by Edward tfhul-
niati, assistant solicitor of the Agriculture
Department, a career official. It was learn-
ed he was acting on orders from higher-ups.
His immediate superior is Solicitor Karl I).
Loos, a former Washington attorney and
close friend of Secretary Benson when Ben-
son was Washingotn lobbyist for the National
Council for Farmer Cooperatives. Loos was
appointed last January, replacing Solicitor
H. Carrol Hunter who hud ordered vigorous
prosecution of both the grain-theft eases and
the civil claims resulting from them.
—BUTLER TO RESCUE—
Meanwhile, also, Senator Butler, who
operated the Hu tier-Welsh Grain Company
buck in Onuihu and was once president of
the Grain and Feed Dealers National Associ-
ation, mysteriously introduced a bill which
would prevent the government from collect-
ing money from the third parties who re-
ceived the stolen gruin.
Asked why he bad introduced llie legis-|
lalion, Senator Butler said it wa- .it the re- j
quest of some gram dealers. He thought they j the defenders apixurntly wmilu
were frum Town.
The payoff is that when a country ware-
house sells Commodity Credit Cnr|x»ration
grain to a grain dealer after the maturity
date oa price-supports loans, even grain
dealer in the nation knows exactly who owns
the grain—namely. Uncle Sum. Therefore,
he buys tin* grain at his own risk. This is1 c*°i i»«>rr than two diamond* Ad
