Study OF Presidential
Succession Proposed

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-U.H-
Several Democratic senators today
proposed a joint Senate-House COM
mittee to study the problem OF
presidential succession.
They hoped the committees rec.
concentrations would be so exhaus-
tive they would end a growing
controversy over who should enter
the White House in event of the
death of both the president and
vice-president.
Interest in the succession ques-
ton rose sharply as result of Pres
ident Humans recent airplane
trip from Washington to Missouri
in stormy weather. At about the
same time, Secretary Of State
James F. Byrnes, next in line for
the presidency, was flying back
from Moscow.

U. N. O.-BEFORE AND AFTER

U. N. O.-BEFORE AND AFTER
Any one who would work for
peace must have in his own mind
some working conception of how
peace can be made. He must have
an orderly view of some system
and pattern which he believes men
can take through the complicated
maze of the world as they find it
in 1915.
So am venturing to sketch a
system and pattern Of peacemak-
ing. make no claims for it ex-
cept that I have found it useful
myself, and that it may be useful
to others if only as something they
can criticize, refine, or replace.
IN this sense any general concep-
ton, however crude and insult
1lclent, is better than none.
We must recognize, it seems TO
me. that, first, there are works of
pacification which must be done in
order that U.N.O. may operate:
that, second, there is the work that
U.N.O. is designed to do; that,
third, there are works that can
now be begun and should be de-
ve1oped which look beyond U.N.O.
For convenience we may call
these three phases of the peace
making pacification, international
cooperation, and the formation Of
a world state. But although we
must distinguish them in our think
ing, we must realize. I believe,
that we have to work in all these
phases at once. For they overlap
and are interrelated.
This will become clearer if be-
fore going any further We define
concretely each of the three phas-
eS.
The work Of pacification is con-
cerned with the establishment of
lawful and effective government
in those large areas Of the world
where it is wanting. The United
Nations Organization has been set
up as an association of sovereign
and peace-loving states. But in a
large part Of Europe, and in much
of Asia, there were millions of
people at the end of the war who
had no government which was
both sovereign and peace-loving.
The Germans had no government
at all. The Japanese had a gov
eminent which we could not treat
either as sovereign or peace-lov-
ing. The smaller states of eastern
Europe and the Balkans, which had
been occupied and then liberated,
had no more than provisional gov
ernments. Italy has only a weak
provisional government. China has
a legally recognized government
but its authority is not recognized
by large numbers of Chinese. Even
France is still midway between a
provisional government and fully
established legitimate government.
In the region Of empire over the
dependent peoples which extends
from the Middle East across In
dia, Burma, 1ndo-China, the Meth
erlands Indies, and the Philippines,
there isa4little5tAat en- be called
settled and accepted government
authority.
What have called the phase of
pacification covers the work of es-
tablishing reasonably efficient, re-
liable, legitimate government in
all of these lands. They cannot
play their part in the United Ma
tons Organization except as they

EXPERTS CAN'T TELL HOW
GOOD YOUR EYES WILL BE IN
FUTURE

That it is difficult to predict the
condition of a persons eyes few
years in the future is indicated in a
study of eyesight of midshipmen at
the U. S. Naval Academy. Many
young men admitted to the academy
with supposedly normal vision be-
came shortsighted year or two after
their entrance. 1t is believed that la
tent or low degrees OF near-sighted-
ness existed in many of TIE entrants,
and under the strain of long hours of
reading and other work the short
comings progressively became worse.
The report of the medical officers
of tie academy states that it is i'm
possible to predict with any degree of
certainty the probable future vision
of person, but experience has led
them to consider all candidates show
ing less than one unit of farsighted-
ness to be doubtful cases in so far as
the maintenance of normal vision
during their four years attendance at
the academy.

100000 BUSHELS OF OYSTERS TO
BE PLANTED IN CHESAPEAKE

The Maryland Tidewater Fisheries
Commission is planning to plant
$4,000 bushels of shells and slight
ly more than 100000 bushels of see
oysters in Chesapeake Bay and its
tributaries this year, if sufficient la
Dor and boats are available
The commission also pointed out
that oyster production in Maryland
during the period from Sept. / to the
end of February was slightly more
than 100000 bushels, an increas
of 155, 200 bushels above the catch
for the same period of 1944-45.
This years proposed planting op-
Grafton compares favorably with the
l945 planting, the report stated. Dur
ing 1945 the commission planted
about 100000 bushels Of shell and
100000 bushels OF seed oysters.
The shells and seed oysters will be
planted in the various counties of the
state en- the basis of usrveyed acre
age and the number of persons in the
industries. The money for the oyster
propagation is divided among the
counties on the same basis. All spe-
cial taxes collected on oysters grown
in county are credited to the coun-
ty to expand local operations, the re-
port explained.
The increase in iyster production
was general except in the upper hay,
especially off Kent and Anne Arun-
del Counties, where the bars were
not worked extensively because of
the poor condition of the oysters
there, it was said.

PHILADELPHIA ELECTRIC'S
ANNUk! REVENUES
PASS S10O MILLION I.
MARK FOR FIRST Time
EARNS $1.56 A SHARE

Philadelphia Electric Company in 1915
handled The largest volume of business
in its history. with Operating Revenues
exceeding 500 million dollars This
was announced by Horace p Liver
sidge, president of the company, in his
annual report to stockholders, released
today.
Net income remaining for common
stock, after dividends on preferred
Common Stock, was $12,772, $3.50 or
$1.56 share, compared with $1.50 in
1914.
The provision for taxes amounted to
$22,652, 9 nearly 10 per cent greater
than the figure for the prior year. Most
of this increase was for Federal taxes
on income.
Despite sharp rise in material costs
and in wages and salaries, an unprec-
edented power output at the Com
pany's hydro-electric plant at Como
wingo, Md, made possible by favorable
water conditions, permitted economies
in steam-plant operations and in pur-
chased power. As result, total operat-
ing expenses. including maintenance,
increased only slightly.
The maximum electric demand on
the Philadelphia Electric Company
during the year was 1892 900 kilo-
watts, new record for the company
and ;}2 per cent above the pre-war
peak in 1910. Total sales of electricity
aggregated 6,503, 135,0S2 kilowatt-
hours, decrease of 1.6 per cent under
The 1914 total.
Total gas sales were 13, ,481 ,O7O, 800
cubic feet, an increase of 1.5 per cent
over the prior year. Several new
records for gas output were established
during the year
At the stock record date nearest the
end of the year, there were 1O0,6O1
holders of the company's two classes of
common stock. Approximately 81 per
cent of these stockholders are indi-
viduals $50 per cent of whom are
women) whose holdings average GA
shares. The remaining stockholders are
insurance companies, banks, charitable
organizations, or institutional investors,
averaging 517 shares each. Although
residents of every state and territory of
the United States, as we'll as of twenty
four foreign countries, are included on
the roster of stockholders, 55 per cent
of the company's stock is held in the
territory it serves.

MAKE PLANS TO PLANT

With the growing season just
around the corner, it is time to plan
The garden layout for this year. To
determine the garden plan, there are
four major questions to answer. First
low much time can you devote to
airing fo yrour garden? Second, how
caring for your garden? Second, how
have? And fourth, what are the needs
of your family?
For home owners whose space and
time are definitely limited, we recon-
mend a plot 10 by 20 feet or 20 by
10 feet. In these small gardens, only
amount of food should be planted.
Corn, potatoes, winter squash, mel
ons, cucumbers and other plants re-
quiring much psace are not practical
for small gardens. By succession
planting. the yield from these gar
dens will surprise you, and relieve
The strain on the family pocketbook
considerably. Tomatoes, snapbeans,
carrots, lettuce, onions, beets, charl,
broccoli and kale are among the
best vegetables for small garden.
A garden 38 by SO feet is recon-
mended to produce adequate supplies
for family of three or four. For the
farm where adequate equipment is
usually available, and a large area is
available, a larger size or about 80
by $50 feet is generally planned.
A balanced garden will contain IA
to 18 different kinds of vegetables
and should include fruit crops, such
as tomatoes, snap beans, lima beans
and edible soybeans; root crops, such
as carrots, beets, potaties and onions;
and leaf crops, such as lettuce, broc-
coli, kale, spinach and cabbags. If
there is a garden in your future, per-
ennial crops suck as asparagus and
rhubarb are fine. Remember, when
you plant, to put all perennial crops
together on one side of the garden
so they won't interfere with plowing
the space for annual crops.
For a garden plan in any of the
four recommended sizes, send post
card request with your name and adj
dress to Mr.. F. c. Stark, Extension
Horticulturist, University of Mary
land, College Park, Md.

ON THE DOWNWARD ROAD

So-called economic warfare" con-
tinues TO drive this Nation of ours
off the highways to Reconversion.
Instead. our countrymen are moving
mob-like on the road towards de-
preston that will make the black
DAYS of the 1930's look like picnic
unless strikes are stopped and the
workingmen of the country return
to their duties-duties to themselves,
their families and their country.
In practically all of these strikes
the labor leaders have been able to
wrangle consent out of their union
members to enlist in arbitrary war
fare for increased wages. The hun
dreds CT thousands of workers on
strike must be getting pretty tired,
because they have lost millions OF
dollars in wages.
On the otker hand all the indus
tries closed by strikes have gone
deep into their reserves to save THEN
concerns from failure. AS genera
thing, industries have had no incen-
tives to get going.
Thus, incomes of workers and en-
ployers are lost, daily. American
made goods are scarce in our big and
little shops and stores; small bust
ness is suffering the same losses as
big business. There is no mass pro-
duction to speak of. The automobile
industry is the principal victim and
sufferer. The National Government is
in the procession on the Downward
Road.
The Presidents wage-price policy
is failure. Reconversion hasn't
started. Strikers still hold to TIE
hope that Mr.. Truman will pull them
out of their holes, but they DOM
know how he will do it.

RELEASE HUMAN ENERGY

The United States has alread,
proved the value of democracy. Thi'
is not a perfect country. But we a.t
learning, slowly and painfully, tina;
our nation is not benefited by keep
ing any group of it's citizens in com
pulsory degradation.
Imperfectly as it has sometime,
been met, our ideal of giving every
body a chance to prove his worth t
society has released the talents oi
our people until we have become the
strongest and happiest nation OF
earth.
We can get the new world we want
if we want it enough to abandon oul
prejudices, every day everywhere
We can build this world if we prae-
tice now what we said we were fight
ing for.
If we apply our ideal OF mutual re-
spect to each other, and to other
countries, and if we can prove by our
own conduct that we mean what VT
say, we will see realease of human
enegry that will bring us undreameu
of treasures.
Tke first gestures must come from
us. Too many of the worlds people
are exhausted. They cannot begin
anything now by themselves. We can.

son is never easy. But it is alwa. s

THE PEOPLE BELIEVE HERBEI.Is
HOOVER

Former President Herbert Hooya:
has done more to clarity the question
of how far the United States shouid
go in feeding so-called starvation
stricken millions of Europe and ASH
than all the rest of the politicians
in, and out of, the Administration
and Congress. He will go to Europ,7
to make a personal examination.
President Truman invited the on'y
living ex-President to come to Was.
ington and he received kim at thu
White House. Mr.. Hoover's viewpoin
has been almost unanimously accept
ed in Washington.
The food situation in Europe today
is at it's worst, Mr.. Hoover explaine i
in backing up the plea of Presiden'
Truman to the American people t.
make a great voluntary effort il
share the substance of life with other
countries. Citizen Hoover did mag
nificent job after World War /.
There are now between 800 millioli
and 500 million in foreign lands VIII
face mass starvation unless they re
ceive wheat and other food frola
America to tide them over until they
are able to grow their own crops will.
in the next few months.
The newspapers remind us that eA
perience has shown that our people
need only to be convinced that these
millions of human beings are facing
starvation-the Americans will do
the rest by responding promptly anG
generously.
