found enhancing. They then made
their way home by way of Green

of our good emigrants to Mont

interspersed are most interesting
we feel sure he will not mind if we
share couple with you.

great Colonial estates south Of the
Mason and Dixon line, from the
Potomac to the James, and from
mountains to the sea, and in read
ing the numerous road markers
reciting the significant events of
the battles of "the War Between
the States" we almost felt, by the
tone of these recitals that the
Union must have lost the war. This

from the fame and glory of the
men who died in a lost cause, from
Lee to Stonewall Jackson, to hum

Court House Square dedicated to

Now we apologize to Mr.. Farqu-

to the places he visited just borrow
the whole story. 1t covers seven,

By the way, Roger B. Farquhar,

Ashton, will after this week
"cover" the county news for the

Prince Georges. We shall be inter-
ested to see if he writes as enter

 GET5 BUSY AT DUTIES
New Secretary of Sfdfe Buckles Down 10 Work
 in Washington
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Secre- tary of State George c. Marshall
 has been invited to give the Senate
 Foreign Relations Committee a comprehensive outline of his views , on American foreign policy. But Chairman Vandenberg tR- | Mich) extended the invitation in such a way it was learned today ] as to emphasize the Committed
 desire to cooperate fully with the new Cabinet officer in the conduct , of his work
 Marshall was asked to appear at
 his own convenience and some Committee members said it would . be all right if he did not find il
 convenient to testify until after
 the Big Four Foreign Ministers meeting at Moscow The general assumption is that. Marshall will attend the Moscow meeting even though he left the question open i temporarily.
 He buckled down to his first full , days work at his big mahogany desk in the State Department with
 praise still being heard from both Republican and Democratic mem- bers of Congress for his expressed {, determination to run the nations foreign affairs on 'non-politicar . basis.
 The statement Marshall issued shortly before he took the oath in ; President Trumans office yester- day was widely interpreted as not only removing the General from the list of l948 Presidential possi- bilities but taking foreign policy even further away from partisan [ politics.
 Senator Bridges G.. .,H, called Marshall's declaration a strong fine statement" and added Tt should make his work easier It certainly should assure the CO.,
 operation of all parties and factions in our country in the conduct of
 our foreign affairs.
 Rep. Halleck of Indiana, House Republican floor leader, said Mar
 shall's announcement is calculated
 to strengthen his hand in the great ! task before him"
 Senator Connaly (D-Tex), form-
 CT chairman of the Foreign Rela-
 tionS Committee, declared the Gen.
 erals statement will strengthen his position as Secretary of State and give added prestige to his won derful character and reputation"

MOSCOW, Jan 22.-The news paper Pravda asserts that Canada was politically and economically dependent on the United States and Great Britain and followed in structions" from those powers in determining her foreign policy.
 The article said that alignment was graphically demonstrated at the Paris conference and at the United Nations General Assembly, where Canada's fulfillment of the will of these powers was not guid- ed by its own national interests
 Although no danger threatens Canada from the north, neverthe- less under the mask of defense against some imaginary aggressor, the Canadian government is build- ing big military installations in the northern regions and carrying on military maneuvers," the article said American war vessels appear off the northern shores of Canada from time to time"

WILL PROBE COMMUNISTS, HOLLYWOOD
Atfress, Baseball Manager,
 Are Married But They Can't
 Live Together, Says Judge

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 22--The Du- rochers-Lippy Leo and lovely La- raine-were back today from border points, where she obtained Mexi- can divorce and they joined in a Texas marriage-but they had a date with an irate California judge who warned they'd better not try living together for tine time being
 Their romance reached something of a climax at Municipal Airport last night when the Brooklyn base ball manager and his bride, better known as actress Laraine Day, dis embarked from a transport plane and at least equalled the local honeymoon sprint record in 20- yard dash to waiting station wagon
 Their destination was undisclcsed, but few hours earlier Durocher had promised Superior Judge George A. Dockweiler, who Mon day granted Miss Day divorce from airport executive Ray Hend- ricks, that he and Laraine would not live together until the actress straightens out the marital tangle.
 Miss Day divorced Hendricks on charges of cruelty. In California, divorce is not final for 12 months. But. she and Leo flew to Fl Paso yesterday, and she cross ed the border to Juarez, Mexico, for a iig-time Mexican divorce- . Then, north of the border again, they visited an Fl Paso Justice of the Peace, Charles Windberg, Jr., and were married in brief cere- mony early yesterday afternoon.
 Judge Dockweiler was ulore. than somewhat put out, ..
 If she is dissatisfied with the divorce she obtained here, we will set it aside" he told newsmen.
 This would place Miss Bays new marriage under shadow in Cali fornia-and leave Durocher as man. ager of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
 Judge Dockweiler said Leo had called him from Fl Paso and ask ed him to withhold any action un- til he and Miss Day could pay him a visit.
 T made him no promise" the Judge commented drily. T told him I would take no action im- mediately and would be willing to confer with them soon"
 The jurist said he told him that as along as they don't live together there, will be no bigamy charges
 Durocher is divorced from the former Grace L. Dozier, prosperous dress designer of St Louis

5pifzbereen Base Sought
 By Russians
US. Also Wants Section for Military Purpose-An-
 aIysf Gives Views
By J. M. ROBERTS, Jr. AP Foreign Affairs Analyst

Spitzbergen, main island of the Syalbard group toward which Mos COW is making passes, had been op- erating as an organized community for only IT years when the Rus sians first began to covet it.
 That was during the First World War, when the last Czar wanted to buy out the private Norwegian coal owners, who had gone in along with British and American developers after 1900. The only objective then, for Russia which was only slight ly interested in the northern ship ping routes, was the nine to ten billion tons of coal which are esti- mated to lie beneath the frozen surface.
 Now Spitzhergen, which became a legal entity for the first time in 1921 by a treaty under which the world powers accepted Norwegian sovereignty, reflects the impact of WOi iO dlldHS ilOIi ot'cldl ioSClo.
 First Move Made
 Soviet Russia first asked Nor way to cede parts of Spitzbergen in l944 for bases which could have been important then. Norway's ex- fled government in London declin- ed to act on such matter until it was back home. Since then, im- portant political angles have en- tered the picture.
 Spitzbergen lies northeast of Ice land. about half way between Mur- mansk and the North Pole, and guards the sea route above Nor ways North Cape. It lies along the much discussed rocket-route across the Arctic. It is between Russia and Greenland. that enormous island on the Atlantic's northern fringe which was penetrated by the Ger mans so recently, and whose stag
