BALTIMORE VS.. PHILADELPHIA
Behind all Of the front page ex-

would be able to find office space
in Baltimore, or go to Philadelphia
was something more than appear
ed on the surface And lot more
people have been concerned with
the delicate problem of finding
rentable office space than appeared
in the news.
Actually the sudden enthusiasm
for Philadelphia did not spring
voluntarily from within the Mari
time Commission but was spark
ed directly from Capitol Hill Off

friends
But Radcliffe also is not without
friends, one Of them being Senator

and if Joe Guffey had put on an

Baltimore would have been out of
the running before this. But as
the matter now stands Baltimore
is still favored as the choice of

war effort We all know that
we must sacrifice many Of our lib
critics and privileges during a war,
and that unusual power must be
vested in the Executive Branch Of
the Government if the war is to be
successfully prosecuted. However
this does not mean that all liberty
is to be abolished, and lawyers can
aid in preserving any essential lib
critics which over-zealOus officials
may unnecessarily interfere with
"And finally, we members of the
legal profession should all keep
firmly in our minds the plan of

thing that we can to see that this
system of government is preserved
and carried on after the war is
won. 1t would be a tragedy to
fight and win war for democracy,
and to then find that we had lost

WALSH URGES FULL
PARTICIPATION IN
WAR EFFORT

Attorney General William c.
Walsh, in presenting to the Court
Of Appeals a class of 48 candidates
for admission to the Bar, told the
new members that the present
emergency was an added RESPONSE
bility placed upon all lawyers of
the nation. In his address he out
lined some of the duties OF all citi-
znns during a period of war saying:
Lawyers, as group, are rem
dering special help in the registra-
ion of those called for military
service, and we should be ready
and willing to straighten out any
legal difficulties, and be alert to
prevent any advantage being taken
of those in the military service.
Lawyers can also perform a
very valuable service by helping to
build up and sustain the morale OF
our nation. Many lawyers are
leaders in their respective COM
munities, and practically all of
them have many opportunities to
influence their fellow-citizens.
They are, accordingly, in po-
sition to encourage others to CO.
operate fully in the war effort,
and by giving a good personal ex'
ample and urging such cooperation
at meetings, in lodges, and in other
group assemblies, they can do a
GREAT deal both to arouse and tC
maintain civilian morale.
'I also think it is peculiarly the
duty of lawyers to uphold our Gus
tomary freedom and liberties sc

cry - Early Recovery" campaign
sponsored by the National Tuber-
cul0sis Association. The campaign
is .cll regularly each year, during
the spring season and is participant
ed i'll by all tuberculosis activities
throughout the country
Accordingly, Dr. r. H. Riley, Di-
rector of the State Department of
Health, said that special effort
will be made at the chest clinics,
which will be held as usual, thru
out the counties of Maryland, to
find early cases of the disease and
to see that remedial measures
are started without delay.
''As matter of fact" DR.. Riley
continued, this years challenging
slogan, expresses what has become
the basis of all of our tuberculosis
activities, all the year-round, not
only for a given season = Those
who have had long experience in
the fight against this disease have
necessarily learned many things.
two of the most important Of which
are these: Cd Every case Of tu-
berculosis is contracted from some
other case; CD The earlier the
discovery of the presence OF the
disease, the greater the possibility
OF control or of complete cure. The
present plan of attack is based
on this knowledge
"A great deal has been accom-
plished in the fight against tuber-
culosis. But tuberculosis is still
a source of great danger to young
people, boys and girls, young men
and women, older men and women,
in the very prime OF life. The dis
ease is very treacherous and often
does not show easily recognizable
signs of it's presence until it IS
firmly established. On that ac-
count, it is necessary to guard
against it at all times and to get
experienced medical advice when

Proposal No. 7
Is Self Rule for
Wayne County

mine questions tOiu be sub
mitted TO the voters on three
special ballots at the election
| November s. Three are state
referendums; too are confined TO
Wayne County, and four are pro-
posed city charter amendments.
The following is second of a
series describing these propo-
sitions).
Although they have no direct
concern with the fiscal affairs Of
Wayne County, the rural voters
of Michigan will decide this cleo
ton whether the metropolitan
county may set its house in order
and install q modern, efficient
form Of government.
The question is proposal No. 2
on the state ballot.
More than 800 900 Wayne County
citizens initiated the necessary re-
form as result of the grand jury
disclosures Of graft in the county
building. and the conviction of two
members OF the board of auditors.
AMENDMENT NECESSARY
Because the present form of
county government is set up in
the constitution, an amendment
10 that document is necessary.
Hence, every voter in Michigan
will have equal voice in determin-
ing whether the cumbersome.
iwasteful and unwieldy structure
here can be rebuilt.
Most important is the fact that
the proposed amendment applies
only to Wayne. No other county
can be affected.
II the proposal Is approved. a
charter commission will be elected.
This commission will prepare a
proposed charter which will then
be submitted TO the voters of the
county for approval or rejection.
FOUR STIPULATIONS
Four stipulations TO guide the
charter commission are made in
the amendment. They are:
The present board of supervis-
ors, which has 161 members, must
be replaced by county govern
ing board OF not more than u.
There must be a chief executive
to head the new form of gov
eminent.
County elections thereafter must
be non-partisan. like in the Detroit
municipal government.
A system of civil service must
be established to eliminate politics
and patronage.
WHERE OPPOSITION LIES
Opposition to the plan has been
organized principally by county Of
ficials and the Go. Although
neither the Democratic county
nor the state conven-
ton took a stand on the matter.
Democratic groups are hard at
work TO defeat it.
Their main fear is that the
party will be weakened substan-
tally If the county building is re-
moved from politics. And, of
course, civil service is distasteful
to all politicians.
Prof. Arthur w. Bromage of the
department of political science of
the University of Michigan pre-
dicted the plan will reduce county
overhead by at least $3,000,000
annually.

Seven important
Price Ceilings Set

In the broadcast action yet taken
TO combat price initiation affecting
lines of goods made scarce by the
war, the OPA has set maximum re-
tail prices for seven major house
hold appliances. The OPA regula-
tons bring under federal price con-
troll new household mechanical re-
frigerators.- new household vacuum
cleaners and attachments, new do
nestle heating and cooking stoves
and ranges, new domestic washing
and ironing machines. new radio
receiving sets and new phono-
graphs.
Production of all of these con-
sumers durable goods has been
drastically cuftailed or completely
suspended because of the demand
of war industries for the metals used
in their manufacture This growing
scarcity has resulted, officials say,
in sharp price increases at whole
sale and retail levels and in thou
sands of complaints of 'profiteer-
ing" from the buying public.
