Arrangements Group
May Become Issue
Al COP Convention

Selection of a committee on ar
rangements for the Republican ma
tlonal convention may become an
issue at the meeting of the COP
National Committee in Chicago next
Tuesday, according to Senator Taft
Republican, of Ohio.
Senator Taft, who is supporting
Gov. John Bricker of Ohio for the
presidential nomination. said he had
Fheard reports an effort might be
made by persons outside the Bricker
camp to force selection of the ar
Irangements committee by a vote of
the national committee, instead of
leaving the matter to Chairman
Harrison E. Spangler of the ma
tional committee.
In 1910 the arrangements COM
mittee was headed by Sam Pryor
of Connecticut, Wendell L. Willkie
supporter. The committee nomi-
mated former Gov Harold Stassen
of Minnesota for temporary chair
man and keynote speaker of the
convention. The Ex-Governor later
became Mr.. Wilkes floor manager
in the convention after serving as
temporary chairman.
Some Willkie supporters have
charged that the national chair
man is inimical to Mr.. Willkie.
Mr.. Spangler, however, has gone
ahead playing no faVOrites among
the possible candidates for the pres
ldential nomination. II he names
the arrangements committee, as has
been the custom, he will appoint as
chairman, it is said, a member of
the national committee not ac-
lively supporting any of the po-
tential candidates and split the
membership of the committee among
the different camps.

Oyster Prices Reach
New High in Baltimore

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 6.-Fresh, un-
shucked oysters are selling at higher
prices than ever before, Baltimore
dealers reported yesterday.
One dealer said the top price he
had paid for bushel was $3.50, a
record for his firm. Another dealer
said that there are so few available
that the price Is not the object"
None Of them, however, could
match the all time high" for a
load Of oysters sold at Crisfield, Md,
last week at $375 a bushel. The
peak price at Crisfield was paid to
Capt. Wells Evans for 400 bushels.
The oysters were bought by Charles
w. Howeth 81 Bros. and Hickman
q Sterling, Crisfield packers.
The increase in prices on fresh
oysters. not under price control, is
attributed to the scarcity Of labor, a
lower oyster supply and 'tothe threat
OF colder weather, during which few
oysters are expected to find their
way to the market.

Dewey Urges State
To Freeze Surplus
For Postwar Projects
Hy the Associated Press.


ALBANY. N. Y, Jan. 6.-Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey, often mentioned
for the 1914 presidential nomination
ignored clear-cut national issues
yesterday in opening the state Leg
islature but advocated cures for
many postwar problems, Including
the freezing of predicted s140,-
000,000 State treasury surpius. :
Indications were. plentiful that
the Republican legislative ajority
will agree to "lock up" the surplus
for postwar use in constructing
public improvements and creating
employment opportunities.
Gov. Dewey, in press confer
ence, said party leaders had indi-
Gated satisfaction with his program.
Last year they enacted every one
Of his numerous jor recommen-
datiOnS into law. Yesterday they
applauded loudly as the Governor
entered the Assembly chamber to
read his annual message.
The Governor, in advocating the
fund freezing, said either tax re-
duction or increased spending
would. in my judgment, be unsound
and Irresponsible When the men
in our armed forces and the work
ers in our war plants return to their
peacetime occupations they have a
right to expect that we, at least,
shall have done our part to help
create employment opportunities.
Gov Dewey also advocated a con-
stitutional amendment to extend
provisions of the State unemploy-
ment insurance law to every re-
turning veteran needing assistance; !;
consideration of proposals to meet
educational needs of returned vet
Grams, and continuance of a 25
per cent reduction in personal in
come taxes.
