TUST to heep the record
•* straight, this department ac-
knowledges receipt of several
communications, berating the El
lleno police and Canadian county
sheriff’s office for failure to
•‘clean up” all the vice and cor-
ruption which the writers see at
every hand in our city and coun-
ty. Somehow 1 can’t gel too
excited about these communica-
tions.
If those persons who are so
eager to tell me approximately
where that “whiskey” joint is on
‘’Such and such” street or, on
“what” section line road, will
take their information to the
county attorney's office, or re-
port the goings-on to the police
department, my guess is they’ll
get the action they are seeking.
After they have made such re-
ports to the proper authorities—
and fail to get action—will be
soon enough to expect this column
to print their opinions.
The Tribune is interested, of
course, in the good name of this
community and county. It is not
interested in being used to abuse
law enforcement officers, just to
satisfy the whims of someone
with a “mad” on.
So if you feel the urge to give
this column the “low down" on
conditions, here's how to do it.
Sign your name to your letter
and add the instruction that the
officers charged in it are to be
permitted to read it and if they
wish, prepare a reply lor pub-
lication at the same time. Or
they may also have the oppor-
tunity to correct the situation
complained of—if found as stated
—without your condemnation.
Thus, if you are sincere in
writing; that is, if what you want
is the situation cleaned up. you
will accomplish your purpose. If
your only purpose in writing is to
“jump on” local officers, this
column isn’t interested in furth-
ering your purpose —HJD.

The filing period for county office seekers is from April
23 to 27. Election board officials said, “we know no holidays” as
they looked back on the reg-! dnim *'P support for separate soil

WASHINGTON, April 19
J The house appropriations commit-
tee today voted $1,200,000,000 for
President Eisenhower to put a soil
bank farm plan into effect imme-
diate'y.
The committee vote was 36-7 to
give the administration funds to
put into emergency operation the
plan to pay farmers for taking a
percentage of the surplus croplands
out of production. The plan was
part of the catch all farm bill which
Eisenhower vetoed because of the
accompanying Democratic spon-
sored sections raising farm price
supports. The veto was upheld by
the house yesterday.
GOP Votes No
Some Democrats have insisted
all along that the soil bank plan
can be dealt with under existing
law if the money is provided, but
the administration asserts it needs
new legislation.
Chairman Cannon (Democrat,
Missouri) reported that one Demo-
crat and six Republicans voted
against the fund in the house com-
mittee.
The entire GOP membership
voted against the report on the hill,
which Representative Taber (Re-
publican, New York) charged wns
loaded with “political language.”
Says Law Adequate
Cannon, however, declared the
committee’s surprise action would
“take the farm question out of
politics.”
He said the funds would be im-
mediately available tor payments
during this calendar year up to
Jan. I, 1957, and could be spent
by the president “in any way he
sees fit" under existing farm law.
Representative Whitten (Demo-
crat, Mississippi), chairman ot the
subcommittee formulating the ap-
propriation hill, told newsmen it
provides no authority for the presi-
dent to make advance payments to
farmers on next year’s entitle-
ment.
The appropriations committee
took matters into its own hands
while Republicans were trying to

Items Stolen
Off T ractor
County officers today investigat-
ed another theft of articles from
a tractor parked in a field north
of Yukon.
Deputy Sheriff Bill Asbury said
a battery and the starter were tak-
en from the tractor which belong-
ed to Stanley Burgess and which
was left in a field three and a half
miles north of Yukon.
Officers said any time a tractor
is left in a field not near housing,
owners face a danger of having
articles stolen from it, as they ad-
vised better care be taken of the
vehicles.
Asbury said the theft was the
latest in a series currently being
investigated by Sheriff Tiny Royse.
A tractor battery and 20 gallons
of gasoline were stolen from Har-
ry Von Tungeln’s farm, southeast
of El Reno recently, and two bat-
teries were lost in the same neigh-
borhood by Carl Merveldt, white
