BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 18
GN.SD.-Blocked by the insur-
mountable opposition of the big
powers, a plan of the little coun-
tries for an All-American League
of Nations was expected to be
shelved today in an obscure COM
mittee.
The A. B. C. powers argentina,
Brazil and Chile) with, it is under
stood, the support of the United
States, plan to tuck the league
proposal away in legal commit
tee meeting in Washington in
April.
DR.. Max Henriques Urena, of the
Dominican Republic, submitting a
long draft of a league plan. had
asked that it be considered at the
eighth Pan-American Conference
in Lima, Peru, in 1888.
Instead, the American Con-
ference for the Maintenance of
Peace, pending its next plenary
session, directed its attention to
cultural questions, including the
mutual annual exchange of one
professor and two students by each
of the 21 countries.
The economic committee of the
conference voted for an early ALI
American meeting for currency
stabiliZation.

caused the accident. The wings Of

0.P. RETAINS
HAMILTON AS
CHAIRMAN

CHICAGO, Dec. 18 GN.SO.
m gratified, and I'll keep right
working" was the comment
day of John D. M. Hamilton,
lairman of the Republican Ma
onal Committee, on the vote Of
onfidence rendered him by the
ational committeeman.
BY a vote of IA to 2, the COM
litteemen yesterday refused to ac-
ept his proffered resignation after
= stormy session during which
representative Hamilton Fish OF
lew York led a movement to ouSt
hamilton.
Fish DOdgeS Vote
The two dissenterS were L. w.
IcCormick, of Philadelphia, hold
ng a Georgia proxy, and Mrs.
Katherine Brown, of Ohio. Fish
ucked the issue, his vote being
ecorded as passed"
During the debate preceding
ne vote, Fish assailed the stand
AIKEN by the chairman on the
'ocial Security Act, saying:
I'VE cannot afford to stand
pat in a changing world. You
must liberalize your leadership
and policies or the Republican
party dies.
"Mr. Hamilton led the fight
against the Social Security Act,
which drove millions of wage
earners out of the Republican
party. If the word goes out
today that the party has
learned no lesson, the party
will perish.
"The wage earners believe
that under present leadership
the party is lined up with en-
plOyers of labor, special privl-
lege, and reactiOnaryism."
Fish apparently made tactical
error in charging that Hamilton'S
reelection would be tantamount to
telling the country that the party
was opposed to social security.
From all sections of the coun-
try committeeman were on their
feet, shouting vehement denlals.
Henry A. Wise, of Virginia,
jumped to his feet and said:
I'VE opposed the present law
because it is not only uncOnsti-
tutiOnal but that this relief
should be under the control Of
the States and not the bureau
Gratis at Washington"
Said George F. Harding, Illi-
noiS committeeman:
81 am just as liberal as Mr..
Fish and I'm for Hamilton"
Walter S. Hallahan, of West
Virginia, said:
I'VE have just begun to fight.
The New Deal will run its
course. The popular will went
wrong in the last campaign.
The people will return to the
Republican party because it
stands for sound principles and
human liberty"
FORGET DEFEAT"
After the cheering he added:
Forget this defeatist attitude.
Hamilton made a gallant fight
and has no apologies to make"
Mrs. Robert Lincoln Hoyal, of
Arizona, said:
John Hamilton made a gal
liant fight. He is the one man
to build up a winning party"

DROUGHT THROUGHOUT STATE
AND EAST THREATENS CROPS

Farmers and gardeners through
out the peninsula are looking sky
ward hoping that substantial
rain will give their crops and fields
a needed drenching. For a time
yesterday it appeared as if the
rain was near, but the leaden
clouds brought no relief. The
drought is particularly severe in
Delaware, where there has not
been heavy rain since early in
May. Pastures have become parch-
ed and farmers are concerned over
the situation. Already they are talk
ing of raising milk prices because
of costs of cattle feed. In the low
Ier part of the state however, farm
ers are optimistic over an unusual
ly god peach and apple crop. They
also reported that last weeks rain
was beneficial to tomatoes. The
drought throughout the peninsula
has ben responsible for a rise in
the price of fruit and although the
Smyrna times., 1936-06-11

strawberry crop was less than
one-half what had been expected,
growers said they received good
prices for what was shipped.
Lawns in Smyrna and other towns
have become parched. In commu-
mites where the cost of water is
high property owners have had to
stand by and wait for rain, while
other property owners with low
water costs have been giving their
lawns god springlings in the late
afternoons. Flower and vegetable
gardens depending upon rain are
suffering and only cultivation and
hose waterings are saving them
from being reduced to dried stalks.
1t has ben estimated that farmers
from Philadelphia to the Carolinas
are faced with loss of millions of
dollars on their crops because of
the drought. The situation is
growing worse in South Jersey
and on the Eastern Shore.

TREES READY
FOR 3RD SPRAY
Russell E. Wilson Calls Atten
tiOn to Need of Orchard
Sprays for Peaches
TO CONTROL DISEASE

1t is recommended that the third
cover spray be applied at this
time to all late varieties of apples
as a protection against scab and
for control of codling moth. The
plant disease prevalence is about
the same as reported in previous
spray notes, and in those orchards
where apple scab has appeared it
is now found to be under good con-
troll. The wellowing and dropping
of some of the first emerging leav-
es is considered a reaction from
low temperature injury, and
sprays or scab infection is not re-
garded as the primary cause of
this premature yellow leaf condi-
ton. Information relative to the
spraying of aples and peaches at
this season of the year for insect
and disease control was included
in the tenth edition of orchard
spray notes prepared by DR.. j. F.
Adams, plant pathologist of the
University of Delaware and the
State Board of Agriculture, and
mailed this week from the Office of
County Agent Russell E. Wilson

TWO MARYLAND
HIGHWAYS SEEN
Worcester County Leaders
Want Boulevard From Ocean
City, Md, to Delaware
TO GET COOPERATION

Worcester County (Md.) leaders
are rallying behind a movement
among civic and municipal organ
izations for the construction this
summer of two major state high
ways. One route would be an i'm
proved road from Ocean City
northward five miles along the
beach to the Delaware line which
sponsors seek to have constructed
at once. The other would be a
dual state highway 35 miles long
through the county from the Della
ware to the Virginia state line.
This project would be in the nature
Of an extension to Delaware dual
highway now being built from Do
yer, south towards Selbyville,
Del, on the state line. Harrison
announced meeting of Delaware
and Maryland groups interested in
the highway would be held soon at
Dover or Selbyville. He said Del
aware leaders had promised early
action on their sector of the road
once Maryland approves the Wor-
cester county link. The Ocean City
Chamber of Commerce is leading
the fight for the Ocean City Boule-
ward to the Delaware line VIII
liam B. Mann, Ocean City capital
list and summer resident, said the
right of way already had been OBJ
tanned. John H. Cosby, secretary
of the State Highway Commission,
is reported as saying that Della
ware for some time has stood
ready to construct an ocean boule-
ward, connecting Bethany Beach
with the stae line, near Fenwick
Island, as soon as Maryland an
nounces its intention to begin a
similar road in that state. He said
the commission feels that it would
be useless to erect road of that
type unless it is connected with a
road from Maryland. Although
there has been some discussion on
a dual highway from Dover to-
ward Selbyville, Mr.. Cosby, said
there is not sufficient funds at the
present time and probably will not
be for several years.
