nancing agencies from the com-
merce department. They had been
added to the department when
Jesse Jones, later ousted to make
way for Wallace, entered the Pres-
ident’s cabinet.
Chairman Byrd (D-Va) of the
finance committee said in an in-
terview he is more concerned now
over who might replace Jones as
federal loan administrator than he
is over Wallace’s confirmation to
the bob-tailed commerce post.
George wrote the divorcement bill,
which Mr. Roosevelt signed at sea
last Saturday.
Chairman Byrd (DIVa) of the
| joint economy committee told re-
| porters he will vote against Wal-
lace. His plans, however, call for
no organized fight, he added.
The four key figures in the Re-
publican organization also disclos-
ed their intention to vote against
the man with whose economic phil-
osophy they are in violent dis-
agreement.
As Senator Wherry of Nebraska,
the party whip, put it to newsmen:
“Some of us are more afraid

Col. Grant, ‘One of Most Brilliant
Leaders,’ Cited for Leyte Action
WITE/112TH CAVALRY REGI-1
MENT ON LUZON—One of the
most brilliant leaders in the 4 cam-
paigns of this colorful Texas Cav-
alry unit has been Lt. Col. Clyde
E. Grant of Abilene, Texas and
throughout the warfare on this no-
torious island termed by strategists
as the “passageway to Tokyo" the
officer has displayed the same lead-
ership abilities in directing his
squadron through all action that
will eventually hem the Japanese in
one massive pincer movement.
In the vicious and desperate
mountain fighting on Leyte Grant
proved his worth in his squadron’s
combat moves that eventually eli-
minated every Nip on the island.
In a recent presentation cere-
from Abilene when the National
Guard was mobilized in November
1940. At that time he was a cap-
tain in command of Troop G, 112th
cavalry, Texas National Guard. Be-
fore mobilization he was a cashier
with West Texas Utilities com-
pany.
In his 31 months of overseas duty
he has earned four campaign stars.
He is the son of Mrs. Susie L.
Grant, 417 .Poplar.

mony Colonel Grant was award-
ed the Bronze star for “meriti-
ous achievement in connection
with military operations”
against the enemy on Leyte by
Brig. Gen. Julian W. Cunning-
ham, commanding general of
the 112th Cavalry Regimental
Combat team.
It was the officer’s squadron
that constantly assaulted the
enemy in the flooded rice pad-
dies and treacherous mountain
terrain throughout two months
of the most vicious fighting ever
witnessed by military observers.
As at Arawe, New Britain and at
| Aitape in New Guinea Colonel
Grant gained the highest admir-
ation of his men and officers on
LT. COL. CLYDE GRANT
the Philippine island by always re-
maining out in front of his men
in his direction of the squadron’s
moves. Such leadership by Grant
is again being performed here on
Luzon, and this quality has ranked
the Abilene officer as one of the
greatest commanders of this famed
combat unit.

Independence for

WASHINGTON, March 1.—()-
Filipino President Sergio Osmena’s
expressed hope for independence
next August was characterized by
officials here as unlikely of accom-
set under the Philippines indepen-
dence act of 1934 for final severing
of U. S.-Philippinies ties.
The difficulty, these sources ex-
plained, is that there is far too
much to be done to make possible a
swift independence for the com-
monwealth whose industry, peoples,
government and properties have
been laid low by the Japanese.

During Tuesday’s ceremonies at

MacArthur restored civil functions
of the Commonwealth government,
Osmena said he hoped that inde-

ippines were acquired from Spain
in 1898.
But today students of the in-

belief that not only is there little

Bargain sales look as exciting as ever these days,
but this ancient sport isn’t what it used to be. So
much merchandise is up in price or down in quality.
However, there’s at least one real bargain that
still provides high pre-war quality at low pre-war
prices. That’s the electric service you enjoy in
your home.
Actually you're getting about twice as much elec-
Vricity for your money today as you did 15 years
ago. If your total electric bill is no less today,
it’s because you have more electric conveniences
now and use them more. But the cost per kilowatt-
hour average is much less.
The credit for this wartime bargain belongs to your
friends and neighbors in this company. Their hard
work, plus sound business management, made it
possible. You can count on them to continue to
furnish cheap dependable electricity for still finer
electric living after the war.
