in 2-STORY FALL

Frankfurt, May 20.-A 3S-year-old

shall said were suffered when she fell
from the second floor of U. S. Army
captains apartment in the headquar-
ters compound here.
Lieut.. Col. Redmond J. Connolly,

the 97th general hospital She
was identified by Connolly as Miss
Dorothy Knapp of Port Richmond,
Staten Island, N. Y, a War depart
ment typist.
Connally said the fall appears to
have been purely accidental
The vivacious, ark-haired typist
arrived here only six days ago from
the United States.
"She and the captain came to the
apartment at about 2 a. m. yester-
day." Connolly said.
"There was laughter and talking
but no violent commotion," he added

COTTON COUNCIL
CONTINUES FIGHT
ON TRADE WALLS

Memphis, Tenn, May % - (Spe-
ciaD-Pledging continued prosecution
of its campaign to remove both state
and federal trade barriers against
margarine and other cottonseed prod
ucts, the National Cotton Council
stated that much had been accom-
plished in this direction during 1945
and early 1916.
The Council cited recent court de-
cisions in South Dakota, Florida and
Nebraska as victories in the battle
to remove discriminatory taxes on
cottonseed products. In South Da-
kota, state courts held unconstitu-
tional the states 10-cent per pound
excise tax on margarine. 1t is ex-
pected that the decision will be car
ried to the State Supreme Court.
Meantime collection of the tax is
suspended.
The Florida Supreme Court deci-
sion that margarine is not "imita-
ton butter" was interpreted in 1945
by the state attorney general to
mean that it was no longer neces-
sary for margarine retailers to pay
an annual $25 license fee.
Declaration by the Nebraska Su-
preme Court that a law was uncon-
stitutional which imposed an excise
tax of Is cents per pound on butter
limitations containing less than so per
cent animal fat resulted in retailers
ability to sell margarine free of any
special state sales taxes.
"These judicial decisions, together
with failure of discriminatory legis.
lation in several states, are indeed
an encouraging sign" the Council
declared. Through intensive activ
ity during the past several years, we
have been able to make real progress
in the campaign to rid wholesome
and nutritious cottonseed food prod |
ucts of unfair and discriminatory |
taxes. The battle is not won, how
ever, and the year 1946 must find
the cotton industry constantly on the
aggressive in its efforts to assure /
cotton farmers a free market for
their products in each of the AZ
states"

House Is Painted
In 5I2 Minutes

Marion, H., May 27-Thirty-eight
men painted Marion home in min
utes, 34.2 seconds as crowd of
about 5000 cheered them on.
The painters, including one with
one arm, aimed at a time of three
minutes flat based on an expected
team of SO men. They withheld
claims of a worlds record pending
measurement of the five-room house.
U. A. Roberts, painter-in-charge.
said the Albert Turner home was Sc
lected for the swift brush-off after
an ailment forced Turner to retire
as a painter.
A brush-by-brus broadcast by a
station WJFP announcer credited
the painters with "hitting every
spot"-including splattering the an
nouncer's suit as he got too close to
operation.
81 think they did a grand job,
praised Mrs. Turner.

AMERICAN TROOPS
CONDUCT IS BETTER

Berlin, May % - Gen. Joseph T..
McNarney, American commander in
Europe, told a news conference that
the conduct of American troops in
Germany had definitely improved"
since his recent order Tightening up
discipline.
He declared that the ban on Amer
ican--German weddings would mot
be lifted as long as | am military
governor or until a peace treaty is
signed"
On the general trend of the four
power occupation, however, the Cen
eral gave one of his most pessimlstiC
reports, declaring that the economic
situation, especially in the American
Zone, was "acute."
"Unless we can reach a decision
on treating Germany as an economic
unit there is no immediate prospect
of checking the downward spiral in
industrial production and the worsen-
ing food situation" he said.
Gen. McNarney acknowledged that
1--WE are thinking of alternate plans"
although the official American policy
still is to seek implementation of the
Potsdam Agreement to treat Ger
many as one economic unit. One OF
these alternate plans, he acknowletg-
ed, is that Germany might remain
divided approximately along the lines
If the present four occupation zones.
He refused to comment on re-
port current here that the Americans
might threaten to halt separations
deliveries out of their zone unless
an agreement was reached soon on
establishing central agencies to treat
Germany as whole.
IF We were thinking about any
thing like that we naturally would
not tell it in advance" he said.
The American commander said 2
major factor in the improvement of
soldier conduct was the arrival OF
American wives and children in the
occupation zone.
This has had a good effect" he
stated. THE wives seem well salts
fled with living facilities we have
provided for them. However, they
still swamp us with lots of questions
about shopping, travel and other
things and we are going TO give them
a compulsory orientation course on
these things. That course will also
include an hours talk on fraterniZa-
ton in which the women will be Civ
en- our official policy on fraterniza-
ton with the Germans

ments of the Maryland Financial Re-
sponsibility Act, w. Lee Elgin, COM

Cecil County
Road Improve
ment AssO

The Cecil County Good Roads AS
ISOLATION met at the Elkton High
School Thursday evening, June 81,
with about IS persons being present
Mr.. Austin Shure, assistant to the
chief engineer of the State Roads
Commission, assured those present
at the meeting that the Commission
twill assist in formulating a pro-
gram" for road improvement in Cecil
County.
State Senator James w. Hughes
made a motion which was unani-
mously adopted that the association
have it's board of directors advise
with the county commissioners and
the State Roads Commission and pre-
pare plans covering maintenance of
present county roads, as well as con-
Struction of new hard surfaced roads,
and an estimate of the cost of such a
program.
In response to questions from mem
bers, Mr. Rolph Townsend, State
Roads Commission engineer for Cecil
County, stated that total of $101,-
600 was spent to maintain dirt roads
in the county during this fiscal year.
He also pointed out that the cost
of new bridges was not covered by
the $4,000 to $4,000 per mile fig
ure previously quated by Senator
Hughes. There are about $50 bridges
in Cecil County, he said.
Mr.. Townsend explained how Kent
County raised one million dollars by
means of bond issue which has
since been paid off and with which
Sc miles of hard surfaced roads were
built and placed in the state roads
system.
Talbot County, according to Mr..
Townsend, obtained 81 700, 90 0
through taxation and purchased Stag
with which to resurface dirt roads.
