Boosts Marriage Rate
Browrrwood. Tex. (UP)
The 1,180 marriage licenses
issued in Brown county last
year—a 300 per cent increese
over 1940—is not hard to ex-
plain. Nearly 30,000 soldiers
were brought in to Camp
Bowie.
Washington, March 10.(UP)
—President Boosevelt today
rejected as unnecessary pro-
posals for further streamlining
of the nation’s war set-up
'f through creation of a supreme
army-navy high command or
by unification of the land,
naval and air forces under a
new national defense depart-
ment. !
He told his press conference'
that the various agencies in-
volved in both plans are
working well together under
the present system.
Legislation to abolish the
offices of secretary of war,
secretary of the navy, the un-
dersectaries of war and navy
and all their assistants and es-
tablish instead a new depart-
, neaded by a minister of
defense, was introduced in the
senate by Sen. Bennett C.
Clark (D.-Mo.), before the
president’s conference was
held.
The measure proposed to
place the naval branch of the
service under “the admiral of
the navy,” the army under
“the general of the army,”
each of whom would be under
th- proposed minister of de-
fense who also would handle
civil or political matters.
Clark’s bill is patterned af-
ter a program recently recom-
mended by Maj. Gen. Johnson
Hagood, who retired in 1936
after he had publicly criti-
cized WPA spending.
The president said he had
not heard of the Clark meas-
ure, but he added that it made
no difference whether opera-
tions come under one, two or
three departments because
the present system is working
well.
Kis. observation on the uni-
fied army-navy command re-
sulted from questioning about
a statement by Sen. A. B.
Chandler (D.-Ky.), e member
of the military affairs commit-
tee. who said he understood
such a plan was under consid-
eration.
Native Texan and Resi-
dent of Timpson for 4G
Years; Services at Rest—
Antioch Six Miles From
South of Carthage.
W. A. Hawthorn, aged 80,
one of Timpson’s most beloved
citizens succumbed at his
home in Timpson Tuesday
morning at 5:30, after an
illness of ahout five weeks.
Funeral services were held
Wednesday morning, March
11, at 10 o’clock at the family
residence, the Rev. J. T. How-
ard conducting rites. Inter-
ment was made in Antioch

June 9, 1861. Residence was
continued there for a number
of years, after which he
moved to Nacogdoches county
and resided at Garrison for

spent forty years in Timpson,
moving here in 1902.
He was a consecrated and
devout Christian, uniting with

man loved his friends and
neighbors, rejoicing with
them in times of happiness and
success; sympathetic in

his many friends in Timpson
and throughout this area.
