GOVERNORS TO MEET ON
CONSERVATION PROBLEMS

Governor Herbert r. O'Conor, of
Maryland, and Governor Colgate Dar-
den of Virginia, have agreed upon
plans to meet personally / sneries
of conferences designed to further
the conservation interests of both
States
Already tentative plans have been
made to form a joint State, six-man
agency to be known as the "Chesa-
peake Bay Authority" to bring about
coordination of policies and ergula-
tions in regand to the conservation of
natural resources.
Both Governors have agreed upon
to be followed by the two jurisdic-
tions Upon completion of the pro-
gram, it is expected that there will
be unlimited conflicting policies and
regulations which, in the past, have
initiated against conservation ef-
forts
Governor O'Conor requested that
immediate steps be taken in order
that legislative authority might be
given during the present session OF
the Maryland General Assembly. AS
a result of the Maryland Governors
proposal, conferences have been held
in the last few days in Washington
with representatives of the two
States. Officials of the Council of
State Governments have attended the
meetings which have been held in the
Councils offices.
Both the Maryland and Virginia
Governors made know their desire to
eliminate divergent handling of con-
servation questions and declared
, their inetntion to strive for co-or-
dinated plan which eventually will
be applicable to the entire Chesa-
peake Bay. AS first step, it has been
proposed that questions affecting the
Potomac River should be taken up by
the appointed officials of the two
States.
Under the tentative plan which is
now before Governor O'Conor and
Governor Darden, the interstate Au-
thority to be established will be made
possible by an interstate compact or
by the enactment of reciprocal legis-
lation under the authority of the
Maryland Virginia Compact of 1885.
Problems affecting the fisheries
would be tackled Immediately, with
special attention devoted to law en-
forcement problems facing the two
States Gradually, the joint body
would take up problems affecting the
Chesapeake Bay and those tributar-
les within the body of the two States.
Questions of seasons, enforcement
regulations and regulations bearing
upon commercial fisheries would be
given attention.
1t is proposed that the Bay Author
ity would consist of six members,
three to be selected from each state
by the Governor of the State. The
Authority would designate its chair
man and appoint director who
would select the necessary staff.
In order to provide for continuity
of policy, it has been suggested that
staggered terms be provided. The
suggestion has been advanced that
at least one of the members of the
Authority should be qualified by hav-
ing parctical experience in the sea-
food industry.

BLOOD PLASMA FLOWN DAILY
ACROSS THE SEAS

Over 5,000,000 pints of blood were
produced during 1914 in the United
States, Basil O'Connor, Chairman of
National Red Cross, says, 1.-THE drain
on supplies is enormous and nQmer-
Gus cases have been reported in
which 20 or more pints of plasma
have been required to save one man."
Blood plasma is flown daily to
Europe by the Army Transport Com
mand, and to the Pacific by TIE Nav

Tremendous Trifle

Another fine example of how seq
ment of American industry went to
war; is pointed to in recently writ
Zen history of the war period in New
Departure Division of General Mo-
.ors, which has produced majcr
share of all of the ball bearings used
for war purposes, in everything from
tanks to precision air navigation de-
vices.
This biography of an American
plant, prepared for distribution to
employees, also may be viewed as Il
comprehensive story of what all
america did 1t reads along like a
novel, which is something Of an effect
o obtain in writing about manufac-
turing procedures. 1t tells of the in
genuity, effort and the sweat that
vent into the war job at Bristol,
Meriden and Guilford in Connecticut,
and proves, as one of the early chap
ter headings says, that ''the Connec-
ticut Yankee is still alive and kick
ing"
They call it "the tale of the tre-
mendous trifle" for that is what ball
bearings are to almost everyone. But
till it takes 189 operations to make
jne bearing commonly used in auto
mobiles. Some of the bearing assem-
blies for fine instruments will hardly
more than encircle a common pin,
and you can put 1000 of the tinies'
bearings made at "Endee" in a tea
spoon. Trifiles-well, perhaps So
out the job being done at New De-
oartureis far from trifiing.

The Mess In China

One does not need to think back
more than year or two to recall how
enthusiasm about China mounted.
Nine. Chang Kai-Shek was whiz
and a glamour girl when she stood
before American audiences and told
of the sufferings of her people.
The Generalissimo has been charg-
ed with Incompetence to arouse and
lead his countrymen to do their part
in winding up the Japanese. Presi-
lent Roosevelt tried to bolster the
read man of China by sending over
Ienry Wallace, Donald Neyson. Gen.
sral Hurley and other big-shots to
make new charts.
The latest line on hCina indicates
that the country has developed only
a half-hearted war spirit; that the
country is lacking in supplies; it har-
bors petty grafters among its officials,
Chang personally remains loyal to
the Allies, but he figtsh Communism
in his own country so vigorously thai
Russia has lost interest in China.
That isn't so good. either, at this par
ticular time whe nwe are making pro
gress with Stain in our efforts to get
him TO declare war against Japan.
China isn't the only nation falling
behind. There is plenty of criticism
OF France freely expressed in Wash
ington. Our own naughty Argentina
ihows a disposition to return to the
good neighbor fold.

EUROPE PULLS IN ITS BELT

Millions of people in Western Eur
ope have starved and shivered
through the past winter, and that has
resulted in renewed efforts by official
Rehabilitation administrations in Ear
ope and Washington for new supplies
of food and articles needed for en-
'ergency relief. Already shipments
have flown to France. Herbert II.
Lehman, Director General for the
United States, confirms the report of
wide distress among the liberated
peoples of Europe, and in his opin-
ion they are worse off for food and
clothing right now than they were
under the German occupation. Ap-
parently there is a shortage of ship
ping facilities to handle the supplies
needed for the countries in distress.

fsneciaI t. The CitizenI

ABOARD A DESTROYER IN
THE WESTERN PACIFIC, Aug.
l8.-MattheW Palenzuela, seaman
first class, of Yates Porter Place,
Key West, Fla, participated in
recent major Pacific actions as
part of the crew of this ship
which has seen six months of
action.
The ship has fought off For
mosa, Luzon, French Indo-China,
Tokyo Bay, Two Jima, OkinaWa
and the Kyushus and has smash
ed four Jap planes and probably
a fifth out of the skies with her
antiaircraft fire.
Her crew knocked down two
of the planes off Kyushu as the
Jap filters were bent on sinking
American aircraft carriers. In
that action, the ships skipper,
Cmdr. George M. Chambers, USN
was slightly wounded but con-
tinued to direct activities from
the bridge.
The crew knocked down two
other planes off Okinawa.
In addition to her fighting
proves, this destroyer has res
cued five American pilots whose
planes had fallen into the sea.

SUGGESTS REORGANIZATION
OF POST OFFICE
DEPARTMENT

MIR. Frank c. Walker, who re-
Gently retired as Postmaster
General, has included in a report
of the activities of the Depart
ment suggestion that it be re-
organized, primarily with view
to further decentralization.
Mr.. Walker thinks that the ad-
ministration of the postal service
is too highly cenralized in Wash
ington and that there is an alb
sence of continuity of high adj
ministrative officers, which is es-
sential to effective operation. He
also opposes the idea that the
postal service should be a revenue
producing agency and declares
that it should be conducted for
the service of the people of the
nation.
The recommendation of the
former Postmaster General should
receive serious consideration.
Certainly, there is a general be-
life that the Postoffice Depart
ment can render more effective
service and that, somewhere
along the line. there is too much
lost motion in the handling of
the mail matter.

NAVY'S PENICILLIN
MADE ON SPOT

Ap NeWSteatureS 1870,
AIER BARRACKS DISPEN-
SARY, Pearl Harbor, Aug. 18.-
Far behind the battle lines in a
small olive-crab building which
was erected originally as a gas
decentralization chamber, a
small group of medical men of
the United States Navy is hard
at work making crude penicillin
for American fighting men.
On-the-spot penicillin produc-
ton for the use of the Aiea Bar
racks Dipsensary was started
here a year ago when the stuff
was scarce. Guiding hands in its
manufacture were Cmdr. James
IG. Ware, Santa Barbara, Calf,
senior medical officer for the U.
S. Naval receiving, station and
barracks, and 1t. Cmdr. Albert
r. Agmar, San Francisco.
"Other hospitals, as well as
ships that came into the harbor
heard we were making PENCIL
lin and asked us TO some," Cmdr.
Ware said. At first the dispensary
produced just enough penicillin
for its own small needs, but to-
day 800 bottles a week are being
rushed by sea and air to our at
lacking forces.
This crude penicillin manufac-
tured at Aiea differs from the
refined product in that it is ap-
piled directly to the wound in
stead of injected, as in the treat
ment for pneumonia or menin-
gifts.
Ordinarily, penicillin is grown
in bottles or watts, but these Navy
medical men prefer the use of
two inch square gauze pads
which can be applied directly to
a wound.
