Lane Said 10 Seek End
WLong Appointments
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Nov. 23.-Gov.-
elect William Preston Lane, jr., Is
prepared to ask the General AS
sembly to repeal legislation of the
last four years extending the terms
OF a number of State officials ap-
pointed by Gov. O'Conor, a spokes-
man for Mr.. Lane said yesterday.
The spokesman, who preferred to
remain anonymous, said Mr.. Lane
felt his administration should not
be -hampered in the selection of key
administrators.
About a dozen department heads
had their terms heightened by acts
OF the 1943 and 1916 Legislatures.
In some cases the extension of terms
was linked with pay increases and
was invoked to get around a con-
stitutional prohibition against alter
ing the pay of State Official in the
term for which he was appointed.
Among the officials whose terms
were so extended are the commits
sloner Of motor vehicles, w. Lee
Elgin, from two years to four; State
roads commissioners, who formerly
served at the Governors pleasure
but now have six-year terms: the
commissioner of labor and industry
John w. Pohlhaus, from four years
to six; industrial accident commits
sioners, from four years to six, and
public service commissioners, who
were given an additional two years
in Office at the same time their

Gen. Markey has been named

neers believe that flood control
measures can be taken and that
the rivers power potential devel-
oped without injury to agricultural
lands and without spelling the beau-
ty of the stream.
Storage Dams Sought.
Floods in past years have caused
millions OF dollars damage to towns
and farms along the Shenandoah,
and planners believe the prevention
of future floods should form an
important part of any plans for the
Shenandoah.
A series of storage dams along
the mountain headwaters of the
stream would aid in regulating the
flow of water at flood time, it was
pointed out, while shallow dams on
the main body of the Shenandoah
could serve both as flood checks and
as sources of hydroelectrical energy
The Potomac Edison Power Co.
receives part Of its electricity
from one such dam located few
miles above Harpers Ferry, where
the Shenandoah joins the Potomac
While the capacity of these shallow
dams are small, planners point out
that number Of them should pro-
duce adequate power for industrial
and municipal needs of the area.
The development Of the Shenan-
doah is long-range project, plan
ners believe, and can best be ac-
complished through the co-opera-
ton of the State, the Federal Gov
eminent and the people of the area
who have become aware of the bene-
fits to be obtained.

Youths Lose Appeal
OF Death Sentences in
Prince Georges Attack
BY the Assoeio,ed Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 23.-Two
Prince Georges County colored
youths, convicted of criminal as
sault and sentenced to death, were
refused any further judicial re-
course yesterday by the Court of
Appeals
The youths are James Clarence
Raymond Washington, who was is,
and Willie Gray Taylor, Is, when
they were tried last sping in Prince
Georges County Circuit Court. They
were convicted of criminally at
lacking Seat Pleasant girl March
16, 1916.
The court rejected pleas that the
youths confessions had been admit
ted improperly in evidence.
1t held that Washington's plea of
insanity could not stand up if, to
the lower court, it appeared that he
could distinguish between right and
wrong.
Taylor asked for separate trial
on the grounds that his case was
prejudiced by Washington's insanity
plea. But the opinion said that
separate trial was a matter within
the discretion of the lower court.
While the opinion did not spe-
officially mention the ages of the
offenders, it said, IF the sentence
was too severe under all the circum-
stances of the case, the appeal on
that question is not here"
The court had held before that
the death sentence was not cruel
or unusual punishment within
the scope of the constitutional
prohibition"

Industrial Expansion Along Shenandoah
Poses Grave Threat to Valley Of Virginia
By jones BirchfieId
Undesirable PIunts
Will Add to Pollution,
Says Delegate Moore
mo. S OF q series. J

The problem of the Shenandoah,
one of Virginia's most beautiful riv-
ers, is to maintain its present purity
in the face of expanding industrial
ization.
The Shenandoah waters one of
the States richest agricultural sec
tions-the great Valley of Virginia
and Is one of the few streams re-
manning in the East that offers
abundant pure water for industrial
processes.
So great was the threat to this
river from the unrestraned expan-
sion of industry that prior to the
enactment last year by the General
Assembly Of a pollution control law,
Delegate E. Blackburn Moore, now
chairman of the State Water Con-
troll Board, warned legislators that
undesirable industries were cycling
Virginia as a State where they could
pour their wastes into the streams
unhindered.
Won't Open Doors to All.
Virginia's plans for the Shenan-
doah and other rivers, Mr.. Moore
told this reporter, is to prevent fur
Their industrial pollution while the
present pollution load is gradually
reduced.
"We don't want to open the doors
to all corners. There is no point
in letting industries come in that
will spoil our streams. That would
mean that other industries would
be hurt, our tourist trade would be
injured and the general develop
ment of our State would be re-
tarded.
There are certain industries, such
as dye plants, that are having trou-
BILE in other States and have been
looking toward Virginia. Frankly,
we would rather not have them I'M
less they find ways of controlling
the wastes they dump into the
streams"
The Shenandoah is relatively
pure stream, with but few spots
that need cleaning up. And steps
now are being taken by industry it
self to correct its present abuses.
Waynesboro "Sore Spot"
The area around Waynesboro, one
of Virginia's rapidly growing in
dustrial centers, is the sore spot on
the Shenandoah.
Here Dupont and the Crompton
Shenandoah Co., textile mill, dump
dye and acid wastes into the river
where it mingles with the untreated
sewage from the city. Below Waynes-
boro, at Elkton, the pollution load
is increased by the untreated chemi-
cal wastes that come from the Merck
plant located there.
Less serious from a pollution
standpoint is Front Royal, where
