233 New Lava Enacted
By Chief Executive

Among the 233 measures passed
by the recent Legislature enacted in
to law through THE approval and sig
nature of Governor Herbert R. o.
Conor were two that promise to have
a most important bearing on the fut-
ure of the people of Maryland.
One, the Bond Commission Bill,
providing for referendum on the
proposal to change the present Mary
land Court of Appeals into strictly
appellate body, if approved by the
voters in November, 1914, is expect
ed to mark the greatest step forward
in the administration of justice in
the State in many decades. 1t was
the most important of the Admins
tration bills during the entire ses-b
sion.
The appointment by the Governor
of a Commission on Postwar Re-
construction and Development, which
is authorized by the second measure,
will put into motion far-reaching
plans for readying the State to bear
the shock of transition from wartime
to peace-time economy. To implement
this measure, Governor O'Conor has
provided from the State surplus a
postwar fund of 100000, with a
further proviso that any balances
from the additional 100000 pro-
vided for peace and war emergencies
be added to the postwar construct
ion fund.
One of the first projects schedul-
ed for inclusion in the States post
war program is the construction of
the two Chronic Disease Hospitals
for the care of the aged and INDECENT
persons, to prepare plans for which
Governor O'Conor appointed Com
mittee from the State Department of
Health, who will make recommend
ations regarding the location, con-
strction and administration of the
hospitals
In the field of conservation, new
law, sponsored by the Administra-
ton, and formally approved by the
Governor, vests the Tidewater Fish
cries Commission with authority to
promulgate regulations for the crab
industry, thus making it possible
for the conservation authorities of
the State to cope with unexpected
situations as they arise.
Senate Bill lat, signed, provides
bonus of $500 to State employees and
to the school teachers of the State.
This bonus, coupled with increased
payments to State employees during
the next two years totaling $780,
900, as provided through the STAN
dard Salary Board, will boost in

The 2Ss bills signed added to 234

enormous amount Of work and time
devoted by the Governor to this very

Each OF these bills, and in fact ev-

Associated Press Financial Writer.


NEW YORK, Oct. THE stock
market suffered another selloff today
on the largest volume in about three
weeks.
Reasons for the retreat varied
Accounts were trimmed here and
there because of persistent tax
doubts based on the thought that
Congress will pass stiff revenue
measure even if it shelves part of
the Treasury's proposals.
International news hardly was
bearish but some customers stood
aside to await the forthcoming
three-power conference at Moscow.
Talk Of short war waned and peace
issues generally, were bit heavier
than armament groups.
The downward trek was resumed
at the opening and, while there was
a smattering Of recoveries near the
close, losers of fractions to more
than 3 points were widespread. Deal
lngs were fastest in the forenoon.
Activity slowed toward the finish.
Turnover for the five hours approx
mated 100000 shares.
Prominent on the retreat were
Dow Chemical, Chrysler, Youngs-
town Sheet, Santa Fe, General Mo-
tors. Goodrich, U. S. Rubber, Mont
gomery Ward. Sears Roebuck,
United Aircraft, Sperry. American
Smelling, j. c. Penney, General

VICARIOUS FIGHTING

How many of us are fighting this war
vicariously?
How many times have you peppered
the teethy Japs or dropped block busters
on the blonde brutes of Prussia?
The war would end before the sun
comes up tomorrow morning, if one-tenth
of the devastation was wrought actually
among our enemies as is evolved in our
imaginations.
Sometimes we tongue our magma
tons. Wherever men and women gather in
K6B'Mt9st, as we'll as in any other city, SUM-
e.fs4-fsaillions of Japs and Germans are blast
ed into bits every day.
: "a Hardly ever is word said about the
Italians, the sinking jackals. Why? The
answer to that question is not far to seek.
Some people = this applies only to Musso
lini and his black-hearted Black-Shirts, not
to the great bulk of Italians. who are hap
piest when permitted to work hard in peace
are so low in our estimation they fall be-
low our contempt. ...
When we think of Mussolini, we asso-
ciate with that thought the picture of 4
fighter who has been knocked out, and
while the victor's hand is held up, coward
springs into the ring and takes hefty kick
at the PROSTATE figure. During the resent
ment that follows, the coward is so badly
mauled he loses even his shirt. Thereafter,
his every movement is stink, though he still
barks Justify about what he is going to do.
4 SO it is a rare thing, while we eXtermir-
ate the Japs and the Germans in our vica-
rous fighting, for us to give Thought to the
jackal Mussolini. Yes some people are too
low even to be made the objects of our con-
tempt.
Our gaminary blasting of Japan is
likely to become a reality before long To
Secretary Knox's limitations that Japan is
scheduled for a destructive pounding has
been added the word Of the President him
self.

to Tokyo. We shall neglect none of them"

GOERING'S ADMISSIONS

Here are interesting statements, made
by German Rechsmarshal Goering, who
pinch-hitted for Hitler recently, and at
tempted to persuade the Nazis that the war
would be won BY Germany: ..........
Il am convinced he said, that Rus
STA is now using her last reserves :; sis
Zone day the battle in the East will
come to an end, when the last power of Sow
let resistance will have been broken. Then
the luftwafft will be free to retaliate for
what has been done to German women and
children'
The first statement may be discounted
by the simple fact that, despite the enor-
nous territorial losses, the Russians have
never thrown into battle their last re-
serves" For nearly two years they took a
terrific pounding, but, always, they main
tanned great reserves in strength, awaiting
an opportunity to hit the enemy at the first
favorable moment.
The second sentence, quoted above
refers to the bombings of the R. A. F., which
make GOeringS pre-war prophecy that no
bombs would fall on the Reich utterly alb
surd. 1t is a direct admission that, while
the campaign in Russia continues, the luft-
swaffe cannot do anything much about the
aerial offensive that the British, and now
the Americans, have underway o..

PRESENTS MYSTERIES ABOUT WAR

There afG growing mysteries iffycon-
nectiOn with the war; and the answer to
them may give some light upon the prob
able struggle.
Chief of the mysteries is the apparent
inability of Germany to reinforce her AT
ricah cOntingents with air power, which
they sadly lack. Whether this is due to
losses in Russia, lack of production or
grand strategy of conserving air power for
surprise uses we do not know.
Another mystery is the failure of the
Japanese to reinforce their soldiers in New
Guinea. When news comes of such an at
tempt We read of cruisers and destroyers
landing soldiers and supplies, not cargo
ships and troopships. What has happened
to the japanese merchant ships, without
which long supply lines cannot be served
and conquered areas cannot be looted?
Again, from New Delhi, India, comes
the statement of Brig, Gen. ClaytonM. Bis
sell, commander of our air forces d4ss Ind&
Burma and China, that ~the J dpSffese air
force everywhere has Been materially
weakened" and that the Japanese ,admdkft
He says Jap planes in Burma and China
have been moved rapidly from one air.
drome to another as airdromes get too hot"
Perhaps the greatest mystery of all is
the extent of German troop losses in Rus
STA. There is a reluctance to accept Moscow'S
estimates of Nazi casualties but the Red
army fights confidently and the German
legions have been unable to annihilate the
Communists" except on paper.
There is the suspicion that the Mos
COW estimates are c | o s to the mark. ana
that the Nazi army has been badly crippled
and that hevy losses explain the inability
of the Germans to take Stalingrad, Mos
cow and the valuable oil fields of the eau

Each day dream, wonder what's best

Ip winter, the salty old ocean l wade;
In summer, the robins and birds build their nest;
In winter, they leave and go to Key West.
There's a wonderful chance, had to see this
Where ocean high waves the seawalls do kiss
I'm thankful l came to this grand isle;
It will be still beautiful after while.
For beautiful dwellings have sprung up. about
In place of brush heaps we can we'll do without
And nice painted houses where others once stood
That never paint but made of wood.
But don't take away all the picturesque homes
Which makes Key West more pleasant than domes
Of beautiful marbe-that would be quite out of place.
Like trimming of overalls with bits of fine lace
Yes, love Key West with its weather so fine,
It's folks friendly-ike kind folk of mine;
It's fraternal orders with sisters grand,
To meet you and greet you and shake your hand
And welcome a stranger and make YOU feel glad
When at leaving your home you fetfa bit sad.
If all of people were as friendly and gay
I this old world would be worth what pay,
OF hard work and worry and trouble and time
Its joy just to be in this wonderful cline,
Where palm branches sway and the whole atmosphere
Just makes us real glad that again vie are here.

THE TEST IN RUSSIA

The heavy fighting continues in Rus
STA, with the Red army making substantial
gains, but it might be good idea to remem-
Der that what was true when the German
army was advancing remains the truth
today.
When the Nazis were going forward
into Russia, we pointed out that the success
of the German offensive could not be deter
mined by the land area occupied. 1t would
have to be measured by the damage inflict-
ed upon the Russian army.
Now, the converse is equally correct
The Soviet drive has reoccupied land that
the Russians desired but the test of the Rus
ssiaa campaign is to be measured by the
Sdamase inflicted upon Htler:'s armed.
