be done in order that both members
of the pair will have chances to win
in the first round without thereby
eliminating the other brother, Zeo
T. Hamilton, director of the Derby,
explained. If two brothers are first
round victors. thsy probably Will
meet in the second or third rouno'
however, he pointed out.
Luck of the Draw
A number of intense Derby rival
ries will be affected by the luck OF
the draw tonight. Boys with
speedy cars who know their names
will be close together in the list
are hoping they will find themselves
in different first-round heats. They
want to pick up f1rst-round medal,
at least, by beating less fleet racers,
before they are obliged to meet stiff
competition. The list provided reg
istrars tonight will not note THESE
desires, and departures from the reg
ular order will not be made TO
accommodate them, Mr.. Hamilton
emphasized.
Racers from the Chevy Chase,
Georgetown and Arlington ana
Alexandria (VaD areas were hauled
to the inspection center last night,
completing the deliveries. When all
weighing and inspecting had been
finished. Derby officials checked the
cars against the list of registrants
to determine the number OF boys
who followed through on their in
tention and produced completed
coaster cars in time for the race.
Chief Inspector Edwin Thomas,
who headed a corps of American
Legion members in conducting the
inspections, re-checked a group OF
racers last night after the boy build
ers had made adjustments to bring
them within the scope of the rules.
These youngsters we're permitted to
enter the school yesterday to work
on their creations, and were in
structed to return later for the final
decision.
Illness Causes Withdrawal.
A serious illness in his family
forced James F.. Nolan. II, 4912
Fourth street NV, to relinquish his
chance of becoming Washington's
fourth Soap Box Derby champion.
Headquarters was informed James
was obliged to leave for Philadelphia,
and was not expected to return in
time for the racing. Mr.. Hamilton
gave assurance the boy would be
given an official Derby helmet and
jersey. His car already had been
turned In and approved by the in
spectors.
Another name was added to the
list to replace him, however. Alan
M. Stiles, II, 1102 B street NE,
came to the Derby office to explain
his racer had been kept in the home
of a neighbor who had been out of
the city for several weeks. Told he
would be under the wire if he
showed up last night, Alan rushed
off to arrange transportation for the
little car.

Maryland Council
Asks Review Of
Overtime Pay
Funk Named to Fill
Vacancy Created by
Briee's Resignation
BY the Associated Press.


ANNAPOLIS, Md, July 10.-The
Legislative Council today asked the
Board of Public Works to review the
question Of overtime pay for State
employees, a proposition the board
turned down last January /.
The council voted the action yes
terday after a session marked by a
discussion of the problem by State
officials and Thomas j. Grogan
Classified Employees Association di-
rector. and the resignation of Sen
ator Arthur Brice as chairman and
member Of Maryland's Legislative
Council.
The council decided to ask the At
torney Generals Office for an inter-
probation of existing law covering
council vacancies before formally
naming new chairman. The legal
opinion, council members said, will
determine whether Senator Dudley
G. Roe or Delegate Thomas Conlon
House Speaker. will be the new
chairman. Mr.. Roe, Senate majority
leader, is head Of the Senate group
on the council, and Mr.. Conlon is
vice chairman.
Funk Succeeds Brice.
Senator John B. Funk was elected
to the council to fill the vacancy
created by Mr.. Brice's resignation.
Council members wanted Mr.
Brice to remain on the Council. How
ever, he pointed out he recently was
appointed by Gov. O'Conor to the
Public Service Commission and said
the validity of the Councils work
might be challenged If he remained
a Council member.
On the question of overtime pay,
Mr.. Grogan said overtime work had
become an acute problem, and
recommended that State Department
heads be authorized to give workers
comparative leave for overtime
hours.
He declared personnel in the motor
vehicle commissioner Office had
worked 10,168 hours overtime from
January l to June 80.
Hours Called Too Short.
But Walter N. Kirkman, budget
and procurement director, said State
employees worked only
33 hours a week in summer and 351a
hours in winter, after deductions for
lunch hours, and that their hours
weren't enough time"
For "the sake of efficiency and
morale, something ought to be done
now about overtime before State de-
partments are crippled" Delegate
John S. White of Prince Georges
County told the Council.
He said he was afraid we're head
Ing for a breakdown in State de.
partments because 80 many State
employees were leaving to take Fed
eral jobs"
To this, State Employment Com
missioner Harry c. Jones replied that
workers were taking Federal Jobs be-
cause of larger salaries, and not be-
cause Of overtime He said he Gid
not oppose giving compensative time

tant."
How does the department of agri-
culture propose to increase trade be-
tween the United States and Latin
America?
by developing in Latin America
for United States consumption the
tropical and semi-tropical products
which are not competitive with our
agriculture.
Does Latin American cooperation
mean increased imports into the
United States Of supplementary or
competitive agricultural products?
mo, that is not the aim Of the
departments program"
What are the complementary or
non-competitive products Of Latin
America, the imports Of which can
be increased?
They consist Of crude rubber,
cinchona bark from which quinine
is made, abaca or manila fiber, valu-
able for the making of ropes for the
navy, demonstrating plants ex-
tremely valuable for insecticidal
purposes.
Other products are kapol<, neces-
sary for insulation and other pur-
poses; cocoa, camphor and tea.
Imports Of these eight amounted
to approximately 1926, 000.00 in
1889. Of which only SIG, 900, or
just about per cent, represented
imports from the Latin American
republics. There are. of course, a
number Of other tropical and semi.
tropical products that may be added
to this list. When our total needs
for these can be supplied by Latin
America our total imports from
there should exceed $3.50, 900, 900 per
year." he explained.

WASHINGTON.-As emotions rise
here over the debate Of American
foreign policy and Americas role in
connection with the European war
a strange sort of censorship is set
ting down upon the nation. I can
feel it in the mail which I receive
from listeners to my broadcasts.
1t is not a government censorship.
1t has nothing to do with company
rules and regulations, 1t isn't even
voluntary deletion on the part Of
writer's or commentators. It is
censorship which the public itself
invokes and it is quite as effective
as the kind imposed by Herr Goeb-
bells. have encountered 1t before.
1t is simply a fat refusal on the
part Of the individual to believe any
thing he doesn't want to. He puts
It into operation with twist Of the
dial when he hears something he
doesn't agree with on the radio or
by tossing the newspaper into the
corner when his eye catches q senti-
ment Of which he doesn't approve.
But let me give you some striking
examples Of this audience" censor
ship-of how the public viii believe
only what 1t wants to.
The Athena was sunk while I was
in Berlin. Shortly thereafter. COM
ment Of a high American official
was cabled to German papers.
This official In Washington had re-
ferred to the ''torpedoing" Of the
ship with the implication that the
Nazis did it. The Germans with
whom I spoke people who couldn't
have known any more about what
really happened than ! did were
astounded.
Even if we wanted to torpedo
ship full of Americans" one Of them
said, I'VE wouldn't be quite dumb
enough to do that when the last thing
we want is to get the United States
into war. If it was torpedoed at
all the British did it to get you in
on their side"
When I got back to the United
States found that it was accepted
without argument that the Germans
had done it.
To the best Of my knowledge It
has never yet been determined just
what happened to the Athena.

Young Tom, the farmers son, had
taken a long walk through the hot
country roads to call on the lady
of his dreams. For a long time
they sat silent side by side on the
bench outside the cottage where she
lived. The evening wore on and the
moon came up. It had its effect,
and Tom sidled up closer to her
and took her hand in his.

Many people insist that New York City is just an
overgrown country town. Others say it is hick town
in spite of its population. Anyhow, the big city is
now under way to bring to New York City real
old-fashioned country fair, with all the trimmings.
1t will be held in Madison Square Garden and there
will be awards for produce and sdeshows with all the
back drops used in country fairs all over the nation
Since this biggest city hasn't had fair of this type
since 1897, it will be putting show different from
anything happening in that for time It will
be an event for the younger generation, many of
whom have no idea of what we mean by science dis

juggling acts hybrid and handwork contests.
Those city sickers will get thrill out of something

In His Memory

Thomas Edison obtained 1850 invention patents
and his influence in science and industry has since been
felt though he passed from this life years ago. Those
patents included the electric light bulb the first
dynamo and power and lighting system, the motion
tube. Rather influence in our lives, was he not?
Born on February IL, in a small Ohio town, Edison
lived to give the world such a contribution that his
discoveries cover an investment of over S35 900
His direct inventions give employment to about
100000 people, Well might we salute his name on
his birthday as that of one of the worlds greatest
benefactors to humanity.

WHEAT PRICES HIGHER

Domestic wheat prices for jan
uary are slightly higher than
those Of a month ago, and close
to the seasons peak to date. It
is not expected that the market
will be oversupplied when loans
mature, beginning in February,
because il prices are not above
loan values plus costs, growers
will not sell their grain and pay
their loans and the government
will take delivery.
