Major W. S. Corkran, executive Of
ficer of the State Mosquito Control
Commission in Delaware, in a re-
port to Director Robert Fechner OF
the emergency conservation work,
made public this week, states that
during the eight months the two
CCC Camps have been in Delaware
they have completed ditching on IL
2S4 acres of salt tidal marsh land.
He further stated that if the work
can be carried on to include all OF
the 107,500 acres of such mosquito
breeding land it will not only 6ene-
fit the state and make life more bear
able for the residents but will also
greatly increase the value OF real
estate.
Major Corkran said Company 1924
at Lewes completed 10,375 acres and
Company 1926 at Slaughter Beach
completed 6,90S acres. He also said
1t was necessary to conduct gen
eral educational program to con-
vince the public that mosquito con-
troll was practical as many have had
the idea that nothing could be done
about mosquitoes. IL am glad to
report" Major Corkran states, that
our work to date is showing a varied
beneficial effect In the immediate
area surrounding our concentrated
efforts"
Special study Of the work has con-
vinced him. he said. that the effect
of ditching in the marshes is not
harmful but actually beneficial to
wild game. improves the salt hay
crop and extends the pasture areas.
He says the mosquito control work
should be continued by all means.

G.O.P.PLATFORM
HITS new DEAL;
PRAISES WORK
DeplOres EffrOntery With
Which Administration
Ignored Constitution.
BALANCED BUDGET
Condemns Attempt to Put
Business Activities I'm
der Government Control

The platform adopted by the Re-
publican State Convention at Dover
on Wednesday follows:
The Republican party OF the
State of Delaware, through It's dele
gates in convention assembled, re-
affirms its affiliation with the ma
tional Republican party and its
conviction that the national Repub-
lican party offers to the people OF
the United States the best medium
for the attainment of good govern
ment under the Federal Constitution.
We not only condemn but deplore
the SNUG effrontery with which the
present national administration, at
the instance of inexperienced theor-
lists, has ignored and eold-shOuldered
the Constitution of the United states
and attempted to establish a new
form of government with intention
that il should be fastened upon the
people before they realized what
had happened.
We assert our intention to oppose
this attempt to drug the people OF
the United States and to rob them
of their birthright while they are
asleep. On the other hand, we in
tend to preserve for the people that
individual liberty for which the
founders of our government and gen.
etations before them fought and
died.
We condemn those policies and
enactments of the present Demo-
cratic administration that attempt.
to bring within the control OF the
Federal government all important
business activities within the United
States, including agriculture
Farm Measures
We favor the Inauguration of an
economically sound program that
will restore to the farmer his in
dependence and freedom of actieE-
as our agricultural population is not
desirous of nor expecting to receive
gratuities for curtailment Of It's la
Dor and limitation of its crops.
We believe the spirit of personal
liberty. the integrity of local self
government. sense of local respon-
sibility, individual self reliance, nom
interference of government In hon
est private business, are principles
of far greater potentality in attain
ing the welfare and prosperity of
our people than any experimental
theories by the application OF which
industry is controlled and the peo-
pie regulated throughout an area
as vast as the United States and
populated by 124,000,000 Inhabitants.
I'VE view with great concern the
apparent disregard of the rights of
the States by the present Federal
administration. and believe that all
the constitutional rights belonging
to them should be vigorously main
tanned
We believe that every veteran suf-
fering from war disability should be
adequately and honorably protected |
and his children be properly edu-
Gated by grateful nation. We have |
always stood and now stand for Just |
and fair treatment of the defenders |
of our country in time OF war.

ment and the growing tax burden

A wild throw to first base by

score standing TT when the game
was called on account of darkness.
Quintan Lopez, Pirate mounds
man, held the Stars to four hits
while Molina, hurting his first
game of the second-half, checked
the Buccaneers with three safe
swatS.
The Pirates, starting off with
bad day on the field, gave the
Stars their first score without a
safe hit as Armando Acevedo, at
shortstop, let the first ball hit to
him get away, muffed a second
one and the Stars first run of
the game rolled in as Henry
Mayg let Cheta Bakers roller get
passed him at second base.
Peter Castro, at third base,
Cheta Baker at shortstop, and
Mario Pena, at first base, were
the features of the game. Castro
accepted seven chances without
an error. Baker missed one in IL
tries while Pena snatched at 10
infield throws for as many put
outs without miss. Swain also
played a good first base for the
winners.
The pitching of Lopez and Mo-
lima was great exhibition.

have exceeded their constitutional
bounds in legislation recently enacted.
But this Is no new revival Of con-
stitutionsl controversy. They began
raising constitutional questions under
the administration of George WASH
ington, and they have been raising
them ever since.
Many Laws Held Invalid.
During $50 years Congress has en-
acted many laws which the Supreme
Court declared unconstitutional But
the Government still survived and Is
still going concern.
There is q certain type Of perfectly
honest citizen who believes that the
only way to preserve the Constitution
Is to place it gently In alcohol, set
1t on shelf in some museum and
allow the people to look at 1t but never
to use it.
This is not my conception of the
way to preserve the American Con-
stitution. That instrument was Or
dained as charter Of progress and
OF life. It is not dead and lifeless
thing. It can be preserved only in
so far as 1t can be made a living,
breathing thing, an instrument for the
development Of our Nation and Of our
civilization.
Whenever it shall become q relic of
antiquity the people themselves will
destroy 1t and make another In Its
place. I nave no fear but that In
the future as in the past we shall
work out our destiny under the Con-
stitution, and If now and then In the
future Congress shall make 0 law
that transcends its constitutional
powers, the Supreme Court will be
here to lift its finger of warning
without fear or hesitation.
Evening star., 1934-10-18

ing that money to preserve the liberty
and the ideals of our Nation, neverrhe-
less it was an expenditure In the de-
struction of life and property on the
largest scale ever witnessed in human
history.
The money we are spending in this
present crisis, and the Indebtedness
we have been increasing during the
last two years has not been for the
destruction of life, or property, but
to preserve them.
Another pressing problem which the
coming Congress may be compelled
to deal with is the solution of our
transportation situation.
In 1920 Congress enacted the trans
portation act, under which our systems
of railroad have operated for nearly
Is years. One year ago we passed the
act creating the railroad co-ordinator,
with view to seeking to work out
plan by which our great transporta-
ton facilities might be improved and
preserved.
It is hoped and believed that at an
early date comprehensive plan may
be brought forward for the permanent
solution of our railroad and trans
portation problems.
In dealing with that question we
must consider the advantage of at
tempting to coordinate all our trans
portation facilities, whether by rail,
water, land or air. All interstate car
riers, by whatever method propelled,
should be brought under the same type
of regulation. Reorganizations, both
local and national, may be necessary.
Transport Problem.
1t is inconceivable to me that in this
practically new and youthful Nation
fate shall not hold great promise to
every essential transportation agency
in the Nation. And it will be the duty
of Congress in the very near future to
put forth its best effort to solve this
fundamental and Nationwide prob
lem.
There are such other questions as
old-age pensions, the Strengthening Of
our military and naval defenses. the
adjustment Of veterans relationships,
