BODY OF DROWNED MAN RE-
COVERED

The body of William Morrison. 38
years old, drowned on March %,
about two miles north of Havre de
Grace, was found Friday near Turkey
Point, several miles from the point
of mishap. Discovered by fishermen,
the body was taken to North East
and turned over to Joseph R. Grant,
undertaken, where a positive identi-
fication was made by means of tattoo
marks on his arms.
On the morning of March % Mr..
Morrison went up the river to lift his
fishing nets. Some time later his
empty boat was seen drifting down
the river, and was recovered by Mr..
William Caponic. Search for the
missing man was Immediately start
ed. His clothes were found along the
river shore, and the superstition is
that his boat had started to drift
with the tide from where he had
pulled 1t up on the bank, and that he
had attempted to swim out to re-
cover it. He was good swimmer,
but it is thought the cold water
brought on a heart attack and death
followed instantly.
For more than a week every posi-
BILE effort was made to recover the
body. including the use of graphing
hooks and dynamite. Two airplanes
from the Aberdeen Proving Ground
also Joined the search.
Morrison followed the water for a
livelihood and Is survived by his
mother, Mrs. Lillian H. Morrison;
four brothers, John and Walter, of
Wilmington; Harvey, of Unionville,
Pa, and Charles, of West Chester,

FARM BILL MAY BE
ONLY ONE PASSED

WASHINGTON, Nov. s. (UP)
President Roosevelt last night
planned a series Of conferences
with congressional leaders during
the next two weeks to speed en-
actment of his legislation program
at the special session.
Threatened by congressional
committee delays and unforeseen
economic developments. the five
point legislative plan outlined by
Mr.. Roosevelt in calling the spc-
cial session for November 10
seemed likely to be pared heavily.
Such prominent figures as SEN
ator William +. Borah, r., Ida,
Senator Carter Glass, d., Va. and
Senator Royal S. Copeland, d.,
n. Y, doubted that much of 1t
could be enacted during the six
weeks prior to the regular session
in January.
Chairman John j. O'Connor. D.,
n. Y, of the powerful house rules
committee, however, believed that
congress, by dilligent work, could
get through most Of the outlined
proposals so that the regular SEES
sion could be adjourned in April
to permit anxious members to re-
turn to their districts for next
years election campaigns.
President Roosevelt listed crop
control, government reorganiza-
ton, wages-hours, the seven
Twas" and revision of anti
trust statutes as the goals of the
special session. In addition, the
senate has agreed to permit con-
sideration of anti-lynching iegis-
lation, which passed the house last
session, as the first order of bust
ness after the farm bill which has
right-of-way status in both houses.
Borah and Glass believe that
only the farm control bill, which
is involved in controversy in both
house and senate agriculture COM
mittees, is certain of enactment.

FLORIDA CUSTER
PETITION is LOST
BULLETIN

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8. CUP
The United States supreme court
today denied a petition from a
group of Florida's securities deal
crs in which it had sought to have
Associate Justice Hugo Black GUST
cd from the court.
Last Wednesday the Floridians
asked the tribunal TO change its
mind with regard to S. +. c. de-
cision. and in so doing questioned
Blacks right to sit on the bench
and insisted that he be barred
from participating in their case
on the ground that he is biased on
the issue involved.
This charge is based on the fact
that the senate utility investigat-
ing committee, which Black head
ed, once issued a blanket subpoena
for kilograms exchanged at the
time the power interests were
waging a nationwide campaign to
defeat the utility death sentence
act.

ARMISTICE DAY
STILL ONLY IS
TRUCE SYMBOL
DR.. Combs Tells Memorial
Gathering Truth Source
of Peace
SAYS WAR NOT TO BE
WIPED OUT BY WAR

The striking thing about the
observance OF ArmiSticc day after
10 years is that we are still com.
PEELED to call it Armistice day,
which means q temporary truce,
the Rev. Gilbert K. Combs, pastor
of the First Methodist church, told
q large congregation at the high
school auditorium last night IN
the annual memorial service for
World war dead.
Rev. Combs took his text from
the eighth chapter of st. Johns
gospel, the 32nd verse: "Yc shall
know the truth, and the truth will
make We free"
In trying to prepare an ARMS.
ticc day sermon, Rev. Combs said
he had attempted to hold spiritual
communion with the 10 million
youths in graves in Europe. ana
tried to find what they would say.
in this Sermon" he said, Il shall
attempt to keep faith with 10 mil
lion dead"
ArmiSticc day, he said. is in
tended to glorify peace, not wa,
IF we desired to glorify war we
would have chosen June 2S, 1914,
the day an which the archdukc
was slain, the spark that set off
the World war. But we select
rather the day when the command
was cease firing"
After 10 years, the day is still
called "ArmiSticc day" "Will We
never be able to celebrate peace
day."
Everybody hates war except
those who profit by it. How, then,
arc the great masses of common
people, the cannon fodder, to deal
effectively with the scourge o.
war? With the passing of the
years a few things are becoming
clear:
81. The truth must be told
about war. Maybe then we will
have the courage to free the
world from it. Who makes war?
The people who have to fight? No.
The rulers of nations have their
part, but the munitions makers
and the capitalists are back of the
wars. Know the truth and the
truth will make We free
~. An end must be made to
propaganda and such slogans as
a war to end war; and The war
to make the world safe for de-
mocracy.' The last war was to end
all wars, yet we are more periled
from war today than ever before.
We cannot destroy war with wars
Something else must be found. We
must make those who make wars
bear their burdens.
80. The common people all over
the world must take their religion
more seriously. The only force
capable of dealing with the en-
trenched militariSm of today is re-
ligion.
"Thc science Of the 10th CEN
fury made the world neighbor-
hood. it is up to the religion of
the 10th century to make the
world a brotherhood"
The service was opened with a
professional of members of the
American Legion and Legion Aux
iliary. DR.. l.. T. Wilds presided
for the Ministerial association, and
