Maryland Women Voters
Ask HEARING on Bill

A public hearing on bill TO repeal
the Declarations of Intentions Act
has been requested by the Maryland
League of Women Voters.
The bill was introduced in the
General Assembly recently by the
Maryland Legislative Council and
is supported by the State League
Of Women Voters.
In a statement asking repeal the
league said:
When world events are focusing
our attention on the privilege of free
elections, any law which tends to
disenfranchise large numbers Of
honest citizens undermines con-
stltutional privileges 1t has been
found that the declaration of in
tentions law is not only undemo-
cratic in principle, but that il is so
manipulated as to control voting
and that it is MOI uniformly followed
throughout the State.
In questionnaires circulated
among State and Federal Candi-
dates last November, the league
found that both candidates for Gov
ernor, Herbert r. OConor and
Theodore McKeldln, and many
candidates for the Legislature were
for repeal

Says Law Helps Remove
Commerce Barriers

The Trade Agreements Act is the
only tool this Government has to
eliminate determinations in inter-
national trade, Charles Bum of the
State Department yesterday told
the American Political Science As
ISOLATION at the Statler Hotel.
The reaction Of Congress and the
Nation to the question of extending
the act after June, he said. will be
an acid test of our position and
intentions"
Mr.. Bum, who is consultant to
the Division. of Commercial Policy
and Agreements OF the department,
said the trade agreements program
had necessary part in the plans
of the United Nations for economic
prosperity.
Walter Nash, Minister from New
Zealand, urged creation of United
Nations Council which will set
about doing, with the same vigor as
has been used in prosecuting this
war, the organizing and applying
of genuine system Of international
order"
The association elected the follow
ing Officers: Robert E. Cushman,
Cornell University, president; John
M. Gaus, University Of Wisconsin,
first vice president; Peter Odegard,
Amherst College, second vice presi-
dent, Denna F.. Fleming, Vanderbilt
University, third vice president;
Kenneth Colegrove, Northwestern
University, secretary treasurer, and

versity, assistant treasurer.

inent part in the conference here

| Killer Learned
To Shoot in

PN the Associated Press.

P> the Associated Press.
SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. Life
still looks good to condemned
murderer who held his revolver
like we were taught in the ma
rines' to kill a policeman during
a grocery holdup.
When a mans facing death like
I am, life looks good under any
conditions, said Walter Robert
Avery, "a, condemned to die before
a sheriff's firing squad at daylight
Friday.
He has sought. and been denied,
communication of his sentence to life
imprisonment.
A former marine who served for
2l months in 1928-29 in the Mica
raguan campaign, Avery has heard
bullets fired by men who were try
ing to kill him before.
He killed an Ogden, Utah, police
detective who caught him holding
up a grocery the night of Febru-
ary II, l94l.
He was pulling his gun, and
I told him to drop it. Then I tried
to shoot il out of his hand. The
bullet went through his left hand.
He started shooting and emptied
his gun at me-he was shooting
fast.
Then turned and held my gun
like we were taught in the marines. Z"
He demonstrated, standing erect
with his right arm out straight and
. parallel TO his body and his left
arm folded behind him.
Il hadn't thought of that for IA
years. It's funny how you remem-
Der things at time like that"

few seconds after our bomber and
one of our fighters had risen in the
air Messerschmitt dived out of the
clouds like streak OF black light
ming and machine -gunred a second
fighter just as it was moving down
the runway.
Driven to Front Line.
We reached our destination safely
and I was met by British officer,
who drove me to headquarters in a
farmhouse some miles away. There
I found several officers whom I had
known in London. In spite of the
primitive surroundings lunch was
produced which most people in Eng
land would envy-omelettes, Irish
stew, oranges and wine.
A captain who was present offered
to drive me up to Medjez-e Bah.
The following day we drove to
the front. 1t was bright and clear
and as we travelled along, with
/ peaceful. green fields stretching out
! on either side, it was difficult to
realize that at any moment a Mes
serschmitt might dive out of the
innocent blue sky and strafe the
roads, We saw plenty of evidence
of their activity, for we passed
dozens Of cars, splintered with
machine-gun bullets, overturned in
bitches.
l spent several days in the Med
Jez-el-Bab area and during that
time visited British and American
and French advanced outposts Due
to the fact that the enemy helC
the dominating positions in the rims
of mountains, all roads in this area
were under German observation
which gave one the uncomfortable
feeling Of being goldfish in bowl
, The only people completely in.
different to the situation were tht
Arabs who went on ploughing theil
dangerous fields with supreme in,
difference, no doubt dismissing The
, crack Of gunfire and the whine O.
r fighters as an idiosyncrasy of West
, ern civilization.
, At one advanced position helo
} by American troops 7 looked down
on occupied villages in thu
. valley One OF the officers said
! You tell the folks in America ant
