Congressman James J. Dolliver, in the Sixth District between sessions, warned that Russian Communism threatens Western Europe and the Orient after a House Interstate Commerce Committee tour of 19 countries. He sights dictatorship, fear, and control as key aims of the Kremlin.
The speaker condemns Communism as materialistic and atheistic and notes Russian pressure in non western regions. He urges a definite U.S. program via Congress to defend freedoms and enable other nations to choose their own governments. He links the global food shortage overseas to differing standards versus American abundance.
A defense of limited food relief and careful administration is balanced with local anecdotes from Graettinger and surrounding Iowa towns. Stories include a rat attack on an infant in Remsen, corn yield contests in Kellerton and Shelby County, a fire destroying a new house in Harlan, and a job interview at a radio station. A school election notice for Graettinger outlines a November 20 1947 vote on bond issues.
The notice states six thousand dollars for procuring an improved nate and reconstructing and equipping the building for a superintendent's home. The entire Independent School District is consolidated into one voting precinct with a polling place noted. It is issued by order of the Board of Directors under a petition with signatures per Chapter bow of Town Case, dated October 21, 1947, Elizabeth Jensen, Secretary.
