SUGGEST ERECTION
OF STANLEY MARKER
Would be Placed Along
Road, In Vicinity OF
Ezra Baker Farm

There looms a possibility that
the historical societies of Washing.
ton and Frederick counties may
erect a marker along the road be-
tween BOOnsbCro and keedysville.
in memory of Henry NJ. Stanley.
1t was at the Ezra Baker farm
that Stanley, newspaper correspon-
dent and explorer. fell exhausted
and was taken care of for several
weeks by Mr.. Baker. The Baker
home is visible from the highway
as one travels westward from
BOOnsboro toward Keedysville and
as he looks southwark approaching
the Crystal Grottoes.
After Stanley recovered, he was
taken by Mr.. Baker to Harrisburg,
and from there continued his jou-
ney, becoming a noted correspond
ent of the New York Times which
gave him the task of going into the
interior of the African Continent
and finding Livingstone.
1t is suggested that a boulder,
with a suitable inscription. be
erected at the point on the road
where the lane turns in toward the
Baker farm 1t would be desirable
it is thought to have the marker
point directly to the Baker famr
and giving facts in brief detail.
Stanley, it will be remembered,
was discharged from army service
at Harper's Ferry on account of i'll
health and started to walk north
ward over a road which no doubt
at that time led past the Baker
farm, now off any highway.

zens on the Federal payroll than
any other state in the Union. This
however. is largely a geographic
accident.
More and more people are NOV
ing out Of the bulging District of
Columbia into Maryland; also var
ious big-shot politicians have listed
Maryland as their residence when
actually they are from Connecticut,
Iowa and the District of Columbia.
In any case. this long list of
Marylanders on the Federal pay
roll has made it more difficult for
bona-fide Maryland residents to
get jobs, and has aroused a certain
amount of resentment on the part
of Maryland Congressman.
Some of the juiciest appoint
ments from Maryland" recently
were:
Chester Davis. former resident
of Iowa, who was appointed mem
Der Of the Federal Reserve Board
at $4,000 a year.
Paul Appleby, former resident of
Iowa and Virginia who became I'm
der-Secretary of Agriculture at
$4,000 year.
Dean Acheson. Connecticut Yam
kee, who became Assistant Secre-
tary of State at $4,000 a year.
All of these own property in
Maryland, and technically, at
least are residents. Acheson owns
farm in Sandy Spring but lives
nine months of the year in the
District of Columbia. Appleby
once lived in Virginia, also was a
resident of Iowa, where he became
acquainted with Vice-President
Henry Wallace; but when his ap-
pointment was made to the Under
The Hagerstown globe., 1941-06-06

Secretary of Agriculture, he was
tagged as a 'Marylander."
Each of these jobs is charged
against Maryland's job quota. and
when the Congressional delega ton
asks for additional patronage, they
are told that the Maryland quota
is complete.
One notable Marylander by adop-
ton is quite frank in listing himself
as still resident of Illinois. He
is Secretary of the Interior Ickes,
who has farm near Olney. How
ever, he still votes in Illinois, pays
taxes there, and calls himself a
resident Of that State
Summer Welles who now resides
at Oxon Hill, originally came from
New York. However, he has been
a resident of Maryland for fifteen
years, has taken very active part
in the political and social activities
of the State. and is now considered
virtually an old-time resident

and he isn't vindictive. Sec
ondly, the loyal members of the

-MARYL AND MERRy-GO-ROUND-
- By DREW PEARSON ----

Washington, D. c.. June 6.-COn.
gresham Cole has been cOllaborat-
ing with Secretary of the Interior
Ickes. now the new National Oil
Administrator. in order to help
remedy the prospective deficiency
of oil along the Atlantic SeabOard.
He has introduced a bill which
would permit the building OF pipe
line from the Middle West to the
Atlantic Coast - regardless of
the railroads.
All Of last winter, Ickes, togeth-
er with various state governors,
were pushing the idea of a pipe
line from the Mid-Western oil
fields to the Atlantic Coast. Ickes
warned the National Defense Com
mission that unless it acted prompt
ly the Atlantic Seaboard would be
minus oil this coming winter since
merchant shipping was being de-
lleted.
But the railroads refused to per-
nit the pipe line to cross their
tracks. Naturally, they wanted to
haul the oil. SO as a result, the
Eastern Seaboard now faces the
prospect of gasless Sundays.
Congressman Coles bill will per-
nit the government TO seize rights
of-way, but the remedy comes a
little late. Today the country
lacks sufficient steel to build the
pipe and also it takes some time to
lay a pipe line.

in Washington, Frederick and

Stewart is the strongest vote

remains that he has in his many

consistently good runs. No other

under this CONFORMATION which
encourages anxiety and appre-

affairs, for the stars emphasize
selfishness and the desire to

Business Affairs: Develop

will focus attention. Agriculture
will be greatly stimulated as

are promoted by the govern

action along many commercial
lines will arouse anxiety as well
as good hopes for the future.

National Issues: Spacious

CONIMIES WANT TO
PLAY WITH LEWIS

Communistic leaders and fac
tons in the c. l. o. have tried
to make deal with John l..
Lewis under which they would
desert the Murray-Hillman clique
and swing back to the United
Mine Workers boss. Behind the
left wingers' move lies the belief
that they can gain eventual con-
troll of the c. l. o. by allying
with Mr.. Lewis instead of the
two Roosevelt supporters.
The "Commies" tied up with
the Murray-Hillman group at the
Detroit convention because the
latter was backing the admini-
STATIONS program of laid to
Britain, which the Lewis
brothers oppose John LIS
brother. A. D., better known as
"Dennie," refused to let his crowd
whoop it up when the resolution
for reinforcing the democracies"
was adopted. But followers Of
the party line realize that Mr..
Murray, as a Catholic, detests
Moscow and all of Stains works.
So does Sidney Hillman. When
the foreign crisis ends, the
tovarischi suspect that the Clio.
president and the o. p. NJ. labor
director will drive them from
the temple.
The trio understood to be
scheming to head the lefdsts into
the Lewis camp consists of Mike
Quill Of the Transport Workers
union, Joe Currap Of the Mari
time crowd and Harry Bridges
of the longshoremen's organiza-
ton. Probably these could dom
mate the c. /. o. IL they sue
ceeded in forming an alliance
with the 5000 miners. But
unless John L. changes his mind,
he will spurn their proposals in
his most majestic Shakespearisn
manner.
