AMERICANS PLAN
DRIVE AGAINST
FIFTH COLUMN
Continued From Page One)

American nations along the lines
taken recently in the United States
also we're believed under consld-
Grafton.
Means of establishing unified ac-
ton among the 81 American re-
publics to resist any foreign efforts
to influence American policies
were studied.
An example cited was a recent
German note to Central American
republics described as seeking to
influence them against Havana
conference acti nwohi chmight be
considered unfriendly toward Ger
many.
Secretary Hull and other mem
bers of a subcommittee were busy
drafting proposals dealing with
European possessions in this hem
isphere into one document. Those
proposals were said to conform
generally with Secretary Hulrs
idea of a collective trusteeship over
any imperilled colony, but there
were minor Emergencies.
Cuba proposed that any occu-
pied colony should be given the
ultimate choice of Independence or
annexation to an American nation.
Independence or restoration OF a
colony to it's Original sovereignty
was declared a fir mintention Of
the projected trusteeship but the
proposal did not provide for a col
ony to become annexed by an
American republic.
This apparently conficted with
Secretary Hull's declaration Mon
day that there was no thought of
absorbing any of these territories
or of permitting any nation to &C
quire a special interest in them.
Economic proposals to imple-
ment Secretary Hull's outlined
methods of ~bolstering economy
were studied closely by experts of
various delegations.
Suggestions already before the
committee, although their contents
were guarded closely, were believ-
ed to leave much detail to be filled
in after expert consultations. 1t
was expected that any plans adopt
ed here would be merely a frame
work with detailed negotiations to
follow among the various govern
ments.
Increased lending power and
freedom of action on loans, re-
commended for the import-export
bank by President Roosevelt, was
understood to figure largely in the
United States plans for dealing
with the export SURPRISES problem.
Whether the cartel project an
nounced by the President S o m e
time ago entered directly into the
economic plans was uncertain. But
if the Cartel plan itself had been
laid aside because of some objec-
tons that it was impractical, it
was clear that United States ex-
perts were devising some method
of relieving burdened countries of
excess products. 4

The defendant corporates with
held immediate comment.
They are charged with violation
OF the Sherman act on four counts,
each of which carries a maximum
penalty, upon conviction of o n e
years Imprisonment and a IS, OOO
fine.
The complaint, filed by United
States District Attorney John T.
Metcalf as a criminal information
which those accused must answer
September 9, asserts that in some
years the total combined income
of the Reynolds, Littegg & Myers
and American companies "eualled
or exceeded the entire farm value
of the tobacco crop of the United
States"
Lexington is the largest hurley
tobacco market in the world.
The practices of the defendants,
the complaint said, had the effect
of permitting a few companies to
attain control of a bottleneck in
a great industry through which a
major farm commodity, on which
several millions are dependent,
must pass"
AS to the effect of the alleged
methods on tobacco products deal
ers, the complaint said:
by nationwide advertising and
sales promotion schemes, the big
four and Philip Morris & Company,
Ltd, Inc, created such a perfect
acceptance and demand for their
major brands that the offering of
such products for sale, being a
necessary adjunct to the conduct
of numerous wholesale, retail and
service establishments, such es-
Establishments are forced to handle
the products even on unreasonable
and arbitrary terms and at such
prices"

STATEWIDE PLANS
OF HEALTH DEPT.
Project for Community
Sanitation Is An
nOunc6u

Announcement that a statewide
project for the continuance OF
community sanitation has been
approved bv the Works Progress
administration and of plans for
me extension of existing services,
has been made by DR.. R. H. Riley,
director of the State Department
Of Health.
Each Of the 90 counties of Mary
land is included in the blanket
project with en- amount allOcated to
each county in accordance with
he estimated need in that coun-
". The sum appropriated is to
provide the necessary labor for the
construction of sanitary pit CON
crete privies" and county and
area supervision Of this labor.
All iustallments will be made
by W. P. A. labor and operations
may be started in any county, DR..
Riley said, provided such labor is
available. Request for both labor
and materials must be made to
the district office OF the w. P. A.
authorities by the County Health
Department.
A central casting plant will be

located in each county where all
construction units for that county
will be fabricated and then hauled
to the premises to be installed.
The total cost Of the privy to any
property owner will be for mater
ials only.
The Federal allotment Of funds
has been SO set up DR.. Riley said
that when any one county has
used it's entire ALLEGATION, the w.
P. A. Director of Operations can
re-allOcate funds from another
county in which operations have
not been undertaken. This ar
rangement will prevent the pos
sible suspension Of operations due
to insufficient funds.
Over $1,000 sanitary earth priv
les have been installed in the
counties of Maryland since 1888
through funds made available by
Federal appropriations for that
purpose 1t is estimated that over
two and half times that number
of homes - over $4,000 = still
lack these sanitary arrangements
The current appropriation will
cover the cost Of 1880 privies.

HORSE AND BUGGY
. DAYS
By the Old Lamp Lighter

Pen Mar Park, now open for
the season, is unquestionably
beauty spot Of paramount interest.
II is attracting many people to
day as it did in years past. The
beautiful view afforded by the
elevation of the park has never
lost it's interest. The dancing pa
viion. as of yOre, continues to af-
ford pleasure to those who love to
dance to fine music. Restful and
inVigOrating in the mountain
breeze, the resort is continuing to
attract thousands of people each
season. The park is being Operat-
ed by the Pen Mar Amusement
Co., the PERSONAL of which is W.
Ii. Bowers. manager; James d.
Milligan, assistant manager and
Charles D. Speck, secretary and
treasurer.
Pen Mar Park was first opened
to the public in 1877. 1t is located
directly on the Mason & Dixon
Line, dividing the States of Penn
sylvania and Maryland, and de-
rives it's name from a combination
of the first three letters in the
words Pennsylvania and Mary
land
For a number of years this re-
sort, which became quite famous,
was operated under the direct SUI
pervision of the w. Md. R. r. Co.,
which used it as an attraction to
haul thousands to and from the
Park
A story written about Pen-Mar
Park in 1906, said: Carriages
are always ready to convey per-
sons to points of interest" No
doubt many readers Of this column
visualize these racks lined up for
at least two particular points
High Rock and Mt. Quirauk- the
drivers each with long whip in
hand calling out to the people in
his familiar voice. for business.
Places like High Rock, Quirauk'
Brentwood, Glen Alton Springs,
The Cascades, Lake Roger, Ragged
Edge, Devils Race Course, Blue
Mountain House, Buena Vista, ETC.,
were added points of interest.
However, the most of these places
are but a memory The Blue
Mountain House burned; Glen AT
ton Springs is closed to the pub
lie and High Rock observatory has
been demolished.
But let this be as it may, there
is plenty of provisions by the man
agement to make a day at the
park a most enjoyable one. 1t is
understood quite a number of pic
MICS are scheduled for this season.
Vision from the park includes a
scope of more than 5000 square
miles of mountain and valley. At
a single sweep of the eye twenty
two counties of four States or
Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia
and West Virginia are seen.

Mr.. Peckham made a threefold
argument:

not permit asking income questions.
2. Since the questions are to be

A person refusing to answer the

agriculture, to irrigation, to drain

ment and to mines. The number,

merce."
There is no right granted to ask

Meanwhile, Meyer Jacobstein,
