had gone on record in opposition
to extension of the agreements.
The fight in Congress is more
than economic and legislative. 1t is
also political. For tied up in it is
generally the prestige of the Roose-
welt administration and particularly
the prospects of Mr.. Hull in the
coming campaign. The trade pro-
gram is so closely linked with Mr..
Huls name that it is thought that
his own fortunes will rise or fall

scribed the bill as arbitrarily and
clearly unconstitutional"
Mr.. Edison recommended the Dill
while holding the position of Secre-
tary under a recess appointment.
The recommendation created some
thing of furore at the Capitol, and
Mr.. Edison later declared the bill to
be merely a preparedness measure.
He denied any Intention of bringing
about unwarranted increases in
presidential power.
The Senate also confirmed the
nomination of James H. r. Crom-
we'll, husband of the wealthy Doris
Duke, as Minister to Canada. He
will succeed Daniel Roper, former
Secretary of Commerce.

Describing the automobile Sit
down strike of more than two years
ago, the former Governor of Mich
igan told the subcommittee it could
easily have led to a revolution in
the State if amicable agreement had
not been brought about.
His explanation of his part in that
labor dispute was resume of a
statement he made to another Sen
ate subcommittee when he was
nominated for Attorney General a
year ago.
Your method ultimately was sue
cessful?" inquired Senator Austin.
Senator, we went through seven
months of social upheaval without
bloodshed," the Attorney General
replied.
He added that his only thought
throughout the crisis was to keep
extremists on both sides from
causing a revolution" He predicted
1t could easily have developed into
a revolution if he had made hasty
move, because of the large number
of men, women and children in

At the outset Chairman Burke
said he had carefully examined a
file of communications received
since Mr.. Murphy was nominated
for the court and became convinced
none of them justified formal pub
lie hearings.
To Illustrate, he read one letter
asserting that Frank Murphy con-
doned the sit-down strike in Mich
igan" and should not be confirmed.
Senator Austin said Mr.. Muir
phys testimony year ago could be
brought down to date by ques-
ton and asked the nominee if his
conduct as Governor during the sit
down strike indicated whether he
favored or opposed the constitu-
tional guarantees of property rights.
"Of course, I am in favor of those
rights and of the enforcement of
those rights" he replied. There
was never anything in my conduct
of the sit-down strikes that would
justify a contrary view"

use frames without it in order to
cut costs without regard to conse-
quences. This type of construction
costs about 30c to SOC more per
window opening than ordinary con-
struction and it will quickly pay
for itself in heat saved and added
comfort.
Window Frames Permanent
Remember window frames are
permanent part of the wall in your
new home. To tear them out and
replace them is not only a mess
but a big expense as well. The
easiest way to avoid leaky window
frames in your new home is to buy
frames that make weathertight
wall joint and that means wide
blind stop construction.

Three-Mile Limit

The idea of a three-lnile limit OF
jurisdiction off the coast was first
set down by Hugo Grotius, a bril-
liant Dutch lawyer, in 1903, in his
Mare Liberum," wherein he ob-
served that the sovereignty and
jurisdiction of any state extended
as far over the marginal seas "as
those who sail in that part of the
sea can be compelled from the shore
as if they were on land" A little
later Cornelius van Bynkershoek,
a judge of the supreme court of ap-
peal Of Holland, in his de Do
minion Maris Dissertatio," Caput II,
pages 364, 1865, expressed Grotius'
idea by saying that the control of
the land over the sea extends as
far as cannon will carry and that
1.-THE control from the land ends
where the power of mems weapons
ends"

The phenomenon of a pouch in
which the female carries her young
after they are born is peculiar to
the group of mammals known as
the marsupials. With the exception
of the common opossum in the Unit
ed States and a close relative in
tropical America, all the members
of this group are confined to Aus
tralasia. Besides the kangaroo, the
most familiar member, the group in
cludes the wallaroo. several species
of wallaby, the wombat. the koala,
the Tasmanian wolf and the Tas-

Mr.. McNasser of the Virginia
Forest Service was guest speaker
at the regular weekly meeting of
the Kiwanis Club. The speaker
pointed out the many services
and detectives of the forest work
now beginning to get under way
in Dickinson County. With par
ticular emphasis he stressed the
objective of proper forest man.
agement whereby the private own
err could harvest timber as he
does the crops of the field. AlthO
fighting forest fires is not part
of the forest service work, Mr..
McNasser said that it had become
necessary for his forces to stop
their work on many occasions to
prevent the spread of fires. Wild
life, he pointed out, must have
protection from forest fires if it
is to propagate itself.
Mr.. Shipley, local ranger of the
fo~est service, was a guest of the
Club also.
