superior to that of their We can win our way through to ultimate triumph if we all pull together." "We must achieve a large and very rapid increase in our armed strength, while helping to strengthen our allies. This means more trained men in uniform, and more planes, tanks, ships and other military supplies." "We must not be misled into thinking that we can make the change to a defense economy easily. It will require effort, restraint and sacrifice by all of us." "If inflation continues to gain cumulative force. will undermine production, destroy confidence, generate friction and economic strife, impair the value of the dollar, dissipate the value of savings, and impose an intolerable burden upon fixed income groups. This must not happen." "In a defense emergency, all those on the home should serve, to the limit of their ability, in the kind of work for which they are best should be a sense of equality of service.

Service by all is even more important than sacrifice, because it is work, and more work, that increases production." "All of us must make sacrifices. economic groups must pay much higher taxes." "Businessmen cannot expect to retain profits on the scale which would be expected during normal peacetime prosperity.

(UP) The American farm bureau has asked the government for an "early announcement" that price ceilings will not be imposed on cotton. The farm organization said such an announcement is necessary as an incentive to farmers to produce the 16.000.000 bales of cotton requested by the government. The government "goal" would mean a cotton crop 60 per cent bigger than in 1950. Farm bureau major cotton have Truman today enactment of "much higher" direct price and wage controls be used to pay for rearmament and halt inflation. The Chief Executive submitted his annual economic report, calling for a program of national austerity in which "we must work harder, reduce consumption, and forego improvements in farm, business and household equipment."

Truman said the nation must put defense, against Cominunist aggression on a pay-as-yougo basis.

County Aid Checked A woman with three children has been indicted by the grand jury on three counts of perjury. She is Mrs. Phyllis Keylon, 31, who lives northwest of Hanford. Her address is Route 4, Box 157-W. Specifically, she is charged with taking an oath on three occasions in which she stated she had not acquired personal property in the form of cash for adequate support for her three children.

Jailed Overnight Around 5 p.m. Thursday the mother was taken into custody by the sheriff's office. Friday morning she furnished $1.000 bail on each count of the indictment and was released from custody. She was in jail overnight. Officials in the county were extremely reluctant to discuss any aspect of the true bill returned by the grand jury or details of the perjury charges.

The judge of the superior court has emphasized that the proceedings in connection with the ments are secret until the transcript of the case is presented to the court at the time of the trial or hearing. No Arraignment Set No time was given for arraignment on the charges. The welfare director, Keif Melberg, said that he is awaiting a transcript. He also said that the bookkeeping for his department is done by the auditor's office. The true bill or indictment against Mrs.

Keyton was signed by Bert Vanderburgh, foreman of the grand jury. The criminal information was signed by A. Hugo Pearson, district attorney, who was out of town Friday. The dates of the alleged perjury before three different persons, in the form of affadavits, were Dec. 2, 1949; Jan.

12, 1949, and Oct. 3, 1950. The dates in the affidavits, however, went back to Nov. 21, If Mrs. Keylon received aid to needy children funds back to the period of 1947, it would represent a total of almost three years.

The grand jury has been checking into county welfare matters as part of its investigating of county affairs. The final report of the grand jury is expected to be made to the court near the end of this month. Mrs. Keylon, upon arraignment, will have the opportunity to obtain legal counsel before entering a plea to the three indictments. News in Brief Formosa Invasion WASHINGTON, Jan.

(International) Hurricane Wind Damage Figured In the Millions SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 12 (UP) Short, hurricane blasts ripped through scattered settlements of northern California, leaving a wake of destruction to homes and industry that was estimated today in millions of dollars. The tornado-like winds hit the communities yesterday, tearing roe's from buildings, uprooting trees and snapping power lines. Gusts reached 78 miles an hour. Several persons were injured but no deaths were reported.

Main Targets Prime target for the hedgehopping hurricane was Sunnyvale and San Jose, less than 50 miles south of San Francisco. Gusts started to hit at Fort Bragg and hop-skipped southward through Mendocino and Sonoma counties, bypassing many in between areas. Parts of San Francisco suffered from the wind and Richmond and El Cerrito, in the east bay, reported heavy damage. The leap-frogging storm stayed in the area less than an hour, shooting itself in narrow destruction at helpless targets. The $18.000 Peter Christiansen ranch home at Bloomfield was demolished.

A ranch house a few yards across a highway, out of the wind's narrow. thrust, was untouched. Sunnyvale Hit Sunnyvale, a town that apparently bore the brunt of the die attack, suffered damage more than 250 homes and two large electric plants. City officials said the damage might mount to about $1,500.000 in their area. More than 100 trees were blown down in the, San Francisco Presidio and a chunk flying roof top crashed into the front room of baseball star Joe DiMaggio home.

Many members of the Catholic hierarchy said the ban apparently was aimed at Rotary clubs, in foreign countries, such as Spain, where friction has existed between the church and the Rotary zation. Rotary's president, Arthur Lagueux of Quebec who is himself a Catholic, said he was mystified since "qualifications for ship do not require information as to race, religion or politics." "Not Secret Group" Each Rotarian is to be faithful to his religion loyal to his citizenship," he said.

"In the short space of 46 years, the Rotary ideals of friendship, fellowship and service to others have spread to the six continents. We are not a secret organization." Rotary International was founded in Chicago in 1905 by a young lawyer, Paul P. Harris, with the motto: "Service above self." In America, it has both and social functions. Gen. Carlos P.

As a Rotarian, he served as vice-president of International Rotary in 1936 and formerly was president of the Philippine ter.

"Very Serious Thing" "This is a very serious thing." he said. "In the Philippines, most Rotarians are Catholics. Rotary has done very good work there and is the largest, most effective service organization. It has always fought for good, democracy and absolute freedom of religion." A Catholic chancery spokesman at Chicago said he was sure the order applied only to certain foreign countries. However, the Rev.

Edward Mullaly of Old St. Mary's church, a Rotarian for 40 years, said he planned to resign from his club immediately. Charles G. Stiles, Chicago Rotary president, said he "can't understand" the edict because "after all, Hitler and Stalin banned Rotary clubs." Lions Also Amazed Officers of Lions International, an organization similar to Rotary, also expressed amazement. H.

Rosenberg disclosed today that the armed forces have raised their goal to 3,462,205 men and women in service by next June 30. The figure is 262,205 over the previous goal. Mrs. Rosenberg said President Truman approved the Increase this morning. She told the senate preparedness subcommittee the higher goal is to be "as early as possible" with June 30 the outside date.

Higher Draft Quotas Although she did not say so, it presumably means an increase in draft quotas. Mrs. Rosenberg offered the new to explain to tie committee why the Defense Department wants to draft 18 year-olds. The present draft age is 19 through 25. Mrs.

Rosenberg indicated it is possible even higher figures will be set within the next few weeks. She told the committee that the announced increase and any new ones will require a complete revision of manpower charts which she has submitted the past few days. These will be ready Monday, she said. Youths or Fathers? The higher. manpower figures can be met only by revising present draft procedures.

In addition, she said, the Defense Department will have "squeeze" the group of men now deferred while they are attending college. The committee members were somewhat skeptical toward the Defense Department request for a draft of 18-year-olds.
