ldIlQ management.
Arrangements for speeding up
the repayments were made in con-
Torrance with the policy of Secre-
tary of the Interior J. A. Krug for
maximum cooperation between the
government and private industry
in the development of the mineral
resources on the public domain.
Need for the new procedure was
emphasized by representatives of
the industry during the western
tour of the secretary last summer
and the public hearings at Denver
in September on proposed revision
of federal oil and gas regulations
under amendments to the mineral
leasing law passed in the last
congress.
Under the federal mineral leasing
law a deposit of 20 percent of the
amount of the bid is required to be
made at the time sealed proposal
is submitted to the bureau for the
privilege of leasing public land for
mineral resource development The
sealed bids are opened by the direcf
tor of the bureau of land manage
ment at a specified time indicated
by public notice and advertisement.
With the acceptance of the highest
bid the remittances are returned to
the unsuccessful bidders, but in the
past administrative operations re-
suited in some delay in returning

some instances several thousand

some of the bidders.
To alleviate this situation ar
rangements have been completed
whereby the payments from I'M
successful bidders may be returned
TO them at the end of the same day
on which the bids are opened. In
addition, notice will be given the
successful bidder on the same day
as the sale of his right to a lease,
subject TO his qualifying under the
law and regulations and to his com

which may be made in connection
with the issuance of a lease. This
procedure also was requested by
the industry as an aid in the devel

While attention was focused on

spotlight in an established Madison

feet, with spray of oil. 1t is the
largest Madison lime gasser so far

Honor Well Deserved

Governor Cherry's appointment OF
T. T. Hamilton to the board OF trustees
of ECTC is recognition well deserved.
Mr.. Hamilton has made a definite and
high place for himself in education. 1t
has been under his supervision and
guidance, with the cooperation of a
sympathetic County Board Of Educa-
tion. that the New Hanover High School
has taken a commanding position IN
the states high school community.
While we are pleased to learn that a
new honor, has been bestowed upon
him, we feel that ECTC is to be o n

Edison Centennial

Next February II, the centennial
Of Thomas Edison's birthday will be
celebrated throughout the country.
Magazines, newspapers, radios and the
motion pictures will devote space and
time to the life and achievements of the
man who made the electric age possible.
In this country, where industrial,
farm and home electrification have pro-
crossed far beyond the rest of the world,
our debt to Thomas Edison is immeasur-
able. Nothing ever devised or discover
ed by mar has done so much for all
the people as electric power. 1t is both
the most efficient and the cheapest of
servants. It has enormously increased
the productivity and the earning power
OF the worker. It has revolutionized
the techniques of agriculture.
Thomas Edison's living monument
IS found in the great industry which
his work brought into being. Courage
Gus individuals pioneered electrical de-
Velopment in the days when many a
skeptlc thought it an impractical fad.
They provided electric service for every
section of the country. Year in and
year out, the industry they founded
gave us more and more power for less
and less money. It created enormous
taxable assets for all units of govern
ment. 1t became a great civilizine
agency as well as a great economic
agency. And today, instead of resting
on past %laurels, it is looking forward
to new horizons, to more and greater
achievements. AS an example, it recent

Just Faded BlOts

The world will be a long time cata-
loguing the loss of great pictures in
the recent conflict. One Of the greatest
of them all, however, is now only a
tumble of faded blots." The quotation
is from a dispatch of the United Press
from Milan. The picture is Leonardo da
Vinci's "The Last Supper"
During the Italian campaign Allied
bombs partly destroyed the refectory
of Milan's Church of Santa Maria della
Grazie where the picture was painted.
Subsequent rain and wind have left the
f famous fresco-Leonardo's greatest
masterpiece-just a group of blobs on
the wall. 1t can never be restored. 1t
will survive in reproductions only.
There is a tradition concerning two
of the figures. Whether true or not, it
illustrates the name in which habit
affects the external as we'll as the spiri-
tual life of men.
1t is said that after long search
Leonardo finally found the perfect
type for John and used the full power
of his genius in p%ortraying the young
man whose alteration Of the Master is
one of the most beautiful stories of
the New Testament. The painter had
no particular difficulty finding models
for the other disciples, average types,
until he came to Judas. The legend has
it that he Travelled far and wide among
the haunts of the lowest strata of So
ciety, without success until finally he
looked into the evil eyes of an outcast
who embodied what he conceived the
betrayer Of Christ must have looked
like.
Yes, Leonardo's Judas years before
had been his John.
Now the picture is gone. The tradi.
ton may be only a pretty story. But
we know that the life a man leads leaves
it's imprint on his face no less than upor
his soul.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18-(P)-The
Congressional reorganization law
enacted last August provides for a
Congressional budget fixing the
governments maximum spending
for the yea--.
The Presidential budget will be
submitted to Congress as usual
and will serve as a foundation for
the Congressional budget.
Some legislators have urged that
the reorganization act be changed
when Congress reopens Jan. 3, but
its sponsors claim enough support
to retain the budget provision at
least.
Opponents of the Congressional
budget contend the ceiling would
not mean anything because it could
be repealed later in the year. Sup
po-ters argue, however, that once
a maximum amount is fixed Con-

Ceiling On All Federal Budgets

'gress would be unlikely to brave
public wrath by boosting the cell
ing.
Those wanting the Congressional
budget say it's needed to coordi-
rate federal spending and income.
They declare there is no way now
to keep a firm and accurate check
on the national purse-strings. A
report of the joint committee on
reorganization Of Congress made
this comment:
Hitherto the efforts Of Congress
10 compel compliance with the
laws making specific app-opria-
tons have been too often frustrat-
ed. Congress has permitted trans
.fers between appropriations, au-
thorized the unlimited S of de-
partmental receipts and set up
credit corporations with separate
budgets.
"The executive has mingled ap-
preparations, brought forward and
backward unexpended and antici-
pated balances, incurred coercive
deficiencies and otherwise escapes
the rigors of Congressional con-
troll"
Here's the way the Congressional
budget or ceiling would work:
The Senate and House Appropria-
tons committees, the Senate Finan-
ance committee and the House
Ways and Means committee would
meet and set up the legislative
budget for the year ahead after get
ting the Presidential budget as a
guide.
If these committees estimate re.
ceipts will exceed expenditures,
they are to recommend a public
debt slash and submit a resolution
fixing the maximum spending for
the year.
Likewise, if a deficit is foreseen,
the committees are to so state and
include in their resolution authori-
cation to increase the public debt.
Approval of the specific figures
and adoption of the recommends
tons would depend on action of the
House and the Senate. However.

Something new has developed

a department which they call,
"Christ's Clustered Crusaders.
This is a work for and by shut

For chairman they have a
cheerful, busy invalid, who can
never attend conventions or see

mass singing. He is literally set
apart for his ministry. He has
certain chores that he can do for
his church such as cutting the

his electromatic typewriter but
his principal service is CORE

keeping the Endeavcrers Of the

That is a Christ-like ministry.
Healthy youth, with its engrossing
activities, may easily forget those
who are shut within four walls by

(This is the fourth of a series of
six articles on the smother play,
probably the most fascinating play
in bridge and the most difficult to
recognize.)
There is frequently no defense
against the smother play, but on
some types of hands the play can
be prevented or defeated oy the
opponents.
On today's hand, which is the
same as the one given yesterday,
a defense against n type of
smother play is given.
When the second diamond is
rufted by declarer and the jack OF
clubs led, Last refuses to win, but
wins the second club. AT this
point, instead of returning a dia-
mond. as he did in yesterdays ar
ticle, East should return a heart.
Declarer wins this with a king
of hearts, and while he can go over
to dummy with the queen of clubs,
he will be able to take only one
fineSse.
When his ten of spades wins, he
must cash his high heart and then
lead a heart, throwing West in the
lead. But West now can lead a
diamond. as there still is one dia-
mond in dummy.
If East leads the third diamond.
he gives declarer the opportunity
to ruff in dummy. If he leaves
the diamond there, West has an
exit play. Declarer can trump in
his own hand, but he still must
