Behind their front, roads were
being widened and improved, and
for weeks there had been con

jumped off, th$ red infantry had

A blast at : state meddling in
county affairs came from A. C.
Haag of Saler, member of the

Monday. M! I T"
Committee members were Irked

as the federal I government telling
the state how much to pay its em
ployes or the fcounty dictating to
the cities," said Haag. .
Other legislature-approved ex
penditures which gave the budget
committee a headache include in
creases for ejection clerks and
Judges, which )will cost the county
about $3,000 and a law requiring
an American flag at each polling
place, wnich will cost, the county
about an added $600. -Also

ments were increases granted elec
tive officials by the legislature.

Wilson asked congress today fori
standby- authority to pay federal
subsidies on food and farm pro
ducts to forestall any lag in de
fense production. -

commodities, such as meat pack
ing, and (3) Temporary increases
in costs of production, distribu
tion or transportation.
