Comforting News

The primary elections have been comforting news in
MANY sections of the country. The two outstanding events
cheer the advocates of traditional Amercansm were the
defeat of Gerald L. X Smith in his attempt to win the Re-
publican nomination for United States Senator in Michigan
and the reputation by the voters of Georgia of Eugene
Tamadge's attempt to win third term Governor.
Smith, whose "The Cross And The Flag" is one of the
most shameful opponents of dsunt resorted to the tech
nque of his old teacher Huey Long, when he tried to win
the nomination by promising tires for everybody The
Coughntes formed large portion of the thousands who
voted Smith, But though the total vote he rolled
impressive for primary, it ought not to be
looked that Smith received less votes than Louis NJ Ward
the late henchman of Charles Coughin who tried to win
Senatorshp from Michigan If it be said that Michigan
1enomnaed Claire Hoffman, that State proudly point
it's of discrimination in having forcby rejected
Gerald L. K Smith, of the gravest to national
unity the American horizon today.
No less enheartening the results in Georgia.
Using the ncendiary issue of white supremacy,
Eugene Tamadge tried to transform the fears and hates of
the traditional South into tornado which would sweep him
into office regardless of the human beings would level
to destruction With minor EXCEPTIONS the newspapers of
Georgia made clear that Tamadge did not represent the
deny the honor and the Amercansm of the State which
he sought, once again, to represent.
Whatever the faults America has-and they many
tcan still hold it's head high for and who, in
crisis requiring the display of intelligence and Judgment
chose wisely and honorably.

AN D M E
BY PAUL A. PETERS


In Russia would spell a Nazi de-
feat everywhere = No wonder
that books on Russia are now in
great demand Some of the
books published this week on Rus
STA are of special interest to Jews
since they touch on matters con-
corning the fate of the four mill
hon Jews now on Russian soil +, :
Outstanding among these books is
wallace CAROLS "We're In This
With Russia" just published by
HOughtOn MiffIin Co. = Jewish
readers in this country will be in
terested in this book not only
because it establishes that there
is no difference between Jew and
nOn-JeW in Russia today, but also
because it deals with the question
OF postwar RuSsO-American re-
latiOnS :. Wallace Carroll
whom / have known in Geneva
and in London as the head of the
United Press bureaus in these two
world centerS, is a person on
whose political observations one
can rely He made his first
visit to Soviet Russia last sum-
mer with his mind full of ques-
tons He left Russia a few
months later with most of these
questions answered He be-
heveS that the United States and
Soviet Russia seem destined to
cooperate in the postwar era, and
that this cooperation entails no
danger to the American system of
government The book is
extremely well written and gives
a very vivid picture of life in
Russia under the difficult con-
ditiOnS which war has created for
the Russian people He found
that there is no active persecu-
ton of religion in Russia and that
the anti-religiOus movement there
is i'm an eclipse, but that on the
other hand the Soviet leaders will
always stick to the theory that
religion is the opium of the
people" The future of re-
ligiOn in Russia will be determin-
ed by the future relations between
Soviet Russia and. the. western
powers, Carroll believes He
does not hesitate to come to the
that with the common
objective of stable peace, the
differences between America and
Russia-including the theological
will be Overridden
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: An
other book which gives food for
thought on Russo-American post
war relations is Emil Ludwig's
volume "Stalin" published this
week by G. P. Putnam's Sons =
Emil Ludwig was one of the few
foreign writer's who spoke to
Stain and secured his views on a
number of problems In
writing Stains biography, the
noted Jewish biographer of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and other makers
of world history comes to the
conclusion that the present ALI
ance of Russia and America is by
no means artificial or merely
prompted by need = It was
their long estrangement which
was artificial, he observes In
attempting to present as COM
plete a picture of Stain as pos
sible, Ludwig puts an end to the
allegations that Stain ousted
Trotsky and other Soviet Jewish
leaders because of anti-Semitic
motives = He quotes the 1886
Soviet constitution prepared by

GreenbeIt Folk
Turn in Sugar,
Go on Rotions

After voluntarily giving up 500
pounds of sugar which they had in
their homes, Greenbelt residents
began sugar rationing last week.
Two weeks ago householders were
asked to return to the cooperative
grocery store all the sugar in their
possession which they did not "ab-
solutely" need. The store paid the
full retail price for the 500 pounds
returned-a quantity greater than
expected.
Greenbelt citizens last week filled
in cards at the store, stating the
number of persons in their families.
Community housewives now buy
their sugar In 13-ounce packages,
each of which must serve one men,
ber of the family for a week. The
amount is one ounce more than the
three-quarters of q pound which
Leon Henderson says will probably
be the individual weekly national
ration.
George Hodsdon, general man
ager of the Greenbelt Consumer
Services, reported yesterday that
the plan is being received well IN
the community.

Virginia Senate 10 Ac1
On Bill 10 Recodify
Fish and Game Laws
Higher License Fee
Funds Sought to Repay
Farmers for Damages
BY the Associated Press.

BY the AsSociatec Press.
RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 21-Vir-
ginia's Senate will act next week
on q voluminous bill which, If en-
acted into law as expected. will re-
codify the State game, inland fish
and game laws for the first time in
II years.
The bill, now on second reading
on the Senate calendar. is substi-
tute for one drafted by the game
commission. The substitute measure
incorporates amendments inserted
by the Fish and Game Committee
on recommendation of a subcom-
mittee.
Just before reporting the bill the
committee adopted another amend
ment agreed to by the game COM
mission in lieu of a separate bill
introduced by Senator Charles N.
Loving of Bath County. This change
would increase the price Of big
game stamps by so cents, to $3.50
for Virginia residents and 50 for
non-residents, to provide funds to
pay ldl IlfClS 4Ol tlOP ooAho6S W
deer and livestock killed by bears.
Provision on Changes.
One of the principal changes in
present law proposed by the bill is
a provision that the commission can
consider proposals for revising its
regulations only in January and
can adopt regulations only in Feb
ruary. Under present law. proposals
can be considered and adopted at
any time.
If the bill is passed regulations
will not have the force and effect
of law until published in the Game
and Fish Law pamphlet, usually
issued once a year and thereafter
no changes in regulations can be
effective until the next pamphlet is
issued. This provision is subject,
however, to emergency powers by
which the commission can restrict
hunting because of severe weather
or other conditions that threaten
the game supply unduly.
Under the bill the commission
could only shorten open seasons to
less than the time allowed by gen.
eral law and could not extend sea-
sons longer than is allowed by gen.
eral law.
Age Limit for Wardens.
The bill fixes the maximum age
at which new wardenS can be en-
ployed at IS, instead of so as at
present Present wardens would be
unaffected, however, and would
continue to serve unless removed
from office.
The commission could appoint
nonresident agents to sell hunting
and fishing licenses. as at Washing
ton. New York. Philadelphia and
Baltimore, for the convenience of
non-residentS.
A new two-day fishing license
could be sold Virginia residents for
81, to put them on a par with nom
residents. Another change, however,
would prohibit non-reSidents from
taking trout under the two-day
license. This prohibition would not
apply to residents.
A section of present law requiring
the commission to accept use of
privately owned game sanctuaries
for minimum term of five years
would be amended to permit one
and two-year cooperative State
Federal experimental projects on
privately owned preserves.

of the gasoline tax fund md GER
tainly not intended that the Guard
should cost the taxpayers $4,000 a
month.
AT the present rate of expendi-
lures, it will cost the State in the
neighborhood of s1,000,0 this year
for special guard duty.
Il have also been informed that
great number of our Guardsmen
are still patrolling the property of
private corporations and further ad-
vised that the lowest pay given

Regular merit system employees,
doing similar guard duty around
State-owned property, including
drawbridges, receive only $50 per

Such discrimination has caused
much unrest and dissatisfaction
among duly qualified State en-

He also asserted that "the volum-

Virginia Delegates
Take Up Commercial
Motor Tax Tomorrow
Controversial Bill
Changes Fee Boses,
Sets Up New Board
By the Associated Press.


RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 21.-The
House of Delegates will take up as
a special order Monday a contro-
versial bill revising the present sys-
tenn of taxing commercial motor
vehicles in line with recommenda-
tions of special study commission
headed by Delegate Charles r. Fen
wick Of Arlington.
The bill already has been extern
sively amended in committee with
the consent of Mr.. Fenwick, and at
least one other major concession
on exemptions under the gross re-
ceipts tax will come up for con-
sideration Monday.
The original bills scale of license
fees based upon loaded weight would
have ranged from II cents a hun
dredweight, with a S12 minimum
for 10000 pounds and less, to SIS
cents for more than 10000 pounds
Committee amendments, which
also must be voted on by the House,
would reduce the fees for weights in
excess of 10000 pounds from SIS to
so cents a hundredweight; raise the
exemption under the per cent gross
receipts tax from $1,000 to $4,000
and compose a reciprocity commits
sion of the chairman of the High
way Commission, a representative
of the Corporation Commission and
the executive in charge of motor
vehicle licensing, the three serving
as an advisory board to the Gov
ernor. Under the amendment, the
authority to enter reciprocal agree
ments with other States would rest
with the Governor.
Mr.. Fenwick has proposed fur
ther amendment conceding an ex-
emption of $4,000, instead of the
$4,000 proposed by the House Fl
nance Committee, under the gross
receipts tax.
Mr.. Fenwick said when the bill
was introduced that it was esti-
mated the substitution of the gross
weight licensing basis for the man
ufacturer's rated capacity basis
would mean a reduction in license
fees for about IS per cent of all
registered trucks, while the tractor
trailers and other heavier vehicles
would be required to pay more.
Under the present system, he said,
the large tractor trailer combina-
ton had a distinct edge on the
smaller sinple-unit trucks.
