By JAMES PRESTON

It's open season in Washington
again. Unlike the deer season, the
duck season, or the trout season, this
particular open season has no def
mite beginning and ending dates. It's
one Of these recurring things-a sort
of game labelled ''to be taken out
and used when needed"
The game consists of a collection of
hard line drives against the mythical
opposition named "big business"
Since attacking a mirage is pretty
tough work, the Congressman, when
they have been playing the game
lately, have called the opposition
something more specific - govern
ment Dollar-a-year" men.
Like the rest of us, Congressman
like to relax when they've got a lot
of seemingly stupendous jobs facing
them. Who wouldn't rather go fishing
than stay in the plant or at the desk
all day? Well, some of the Senators

and other gloomy and complex prob

of badge of honor for big business.
He then asked for million dollars

he had requested the special Senate

GEORGE STEWART BROWN

The Baltimore Sun of this morning
pays the following deserved tribute
to the late Judge George Stewart
Brown, whose death occurred on Tues
day and who is well known to many
Garrett countians.
The Suns editorial follows;
1T is poignantly sad that George
Stewart Brown should have passed
away in less than three months after
his retirement as judge of the United
States Customs Court and his return
to Maryland. Few sons of Baltimore
have loved this city, and the whole OF
Maryland, more passionately than he.
Twenty-eight years of his life were
spent in New York as a member Of the
court, but they were years of exile
dignifed and comfortable exile, BUT
still exile. The soil and the spirit IF
Maryland were beloved in his life. IN
all the years that he was away he
looked forward eagerly to the time
when he would be home again, breath
ing the air, living the life, that were
to him the most precious on this earth.
And so very few were the days at
home granted to him!
"But Maryland will long remember
'Stovey' Brown, He possessed in full
measure all the homely virtues which
make men wear we'll in the dusty ways
of toll and strife, and he possessed
much more. He had an abiding love Of
justice. He had immense industry in
seeking out the facts from which jus
tice is distilled. He had a vehement
tongue to proclaim his findings. He
was lost without a cause and he
never remained lost in any period of
his life. Sometimes the majority
agreed with him in support of his
cause Sometimes it disagreed. Thai
never made the least difference to
'Stovey Brown. He used his long legs
to stride into the place where the al
gument was thickest; he never cried
quits, be the odds favorable or unfav-
orable. In it all, he made his mark on
his time and on his contemporaries.
at was a good life that he led
strong and full of salt, and the genera
tions which knew him well will mourn
that his dream of years at home WAS
not to be fulfilled"
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1941-11-13

Defense Committee headed by Sen
ator Truman, to investigate the ac-
tivities and connections of the more
than 1875 "dollar-a-year men" in
Washington. A couple of other SEN
ators joined in at once with similar
proposals.
Just about this time the production
engineers, management experts, and
other business men who had resigned
their jobs in the corporations they
had worked to build up to do their
patriotic best in this time of terrible
urgency" began to get a little dizzy
But they went on, deciding the dizzi-
ness was just the result of plain
"overwork."
There are plenty of Congressman,
however, who've stuck doggedly to
work, shamelessly neglecting the open
season on big business. And reporters
covering committee hearings have
come away with the distinct impress
sion that new uneasiness is arising
in the minds of some economic-mind-
ed Senators and representatives
about the financial structure of our
government. They're asking a lot of
questions, for example, about where
new revenue can be raised without
undermining the productive system of
the country, what the effects are
likely to be about the piling up of
government bonds in commercial
banks, and other such ponderous
topics
Truth of the matter is that the
voter back home is beginning to get
worried, and his worry is being trans
lated into letters to his Congressman,
and into ambitious local taxpayer pro
grams to reduce local and state spend
ing, and local and state taxes Au-
thoritative observers on Capitol Hill
are giving considerable attention to
the cIamor coming from the distant
communities for prudent government
spending whether done by City Hall,
the State Capitol, or the Congress.
###
With a national debt this year ex-
ceeding $51 100000, and deficit
above $12,000,000 ,000 with the neces-
sity, after passing the biggest tax bill
in history, of borrowing seven or
eight billions more this fiscal year,
earnest congressman are beginning to
think some serious thought should be
given, and some action taken in the
direction Of putting halt to the
mushrooming of non-defense activi-
ties Of the government, and to saving
some national pennies.

and making little progress in south.
Reds regained several miles around

Sevastopol in Crimea but strong Red
defense was conceded. Reds claim of
100000 German losses was count

weight of her crimes within a year.

British sent a big air offensive over

Turning Over An
Old Leaf
By Phillip A. Gladheim

"There were faces to remember in the
Valley of the Shadow;
There were faces unregarded, there
We're faces to forget;
There were fires Of grief and fear that
arc few forgotten ashes;
There were sparks of recognition
that are not forgotten yet"

cember dawn in the mountains Of

silver catract of clouds over Meadow

orange tentacles of light to circCmvent

then to the other; both were aiigrt
with glory. The one was a newborn
blaze for burnt-out world; the other
was a searchlight for its gathering
gloom.
Standing 'twixt these mountains

as like unto Valhalla, the Norsenar's
Paradise,
This Morse Garden of the Gods was
kept inviolate by high wall Of en-
circling fire. l was alone; my eyes,
like revolving camera, surveyed the
brilliant panorama.
Night was giving way to day, and
the stiffness that is so indescribable il
this thin margin of time between
darkness and dawn, was being dis
turbed by faint hallos of the hunter
echoing through the valleys and ra-
vines.
Suddenly, and with more fieetness
than the winged mounts of Wotan's
daughter, deer leapt down the East
ern slope, gliding Ger the glade, where
l stood. His legs, like flexible steel,
propelled him from one peak to an
other His feet would seemingly touch
the glade on occasions, using it as q
spring-board to leap up the Western
slope. He was like unto silver light
ming, an embodied torch, quickened
/ by the morning sun to run in haste and
with his vital spark restore the dying
embers of the moon.
