Maryland Delegates
Pass Bill 10 Seize
Virginia Oyster Boat,
BY the Asscrfosed Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Feb. IA
Punishment for Virginia oyster
dredgers in the Potomac River
through confiscation of their boats
passed the Maryland House of Dele
gates yesterday.
Senate approval Of the COM
promise plan for prosecuting viola
tons of antidredging laws was
certain, since it has the backing of
Gov. Lane.
Also without trouble or debate,
the House adopted a Senate-ap-
proved resolution for the appoint
ment Of three Marylanders to q
Joint Commission to survey Potomac
fishing problems.
When the Senate acts on the
punishment bill, it will be the last
legislative action in the "oyster war;
between the States, until the COM
mission comes forward with recon-
mendations for a lasting peace
1885 Agreement Involved.
Since 1885 the two States have
tried their own citizens If arrested
inin the other State for illegal fish
ing.
The compromise, legislativ e
spokesmen said, was acceptable
since loss of boats would be blow
to oystermen, and at the same time
the laws of 1885 would NOT be abro-
gated pending further parleys be-
tween the Free State and the Old
Diminion.
Commission to Meet March rs.
The joint commission already ap-
proved in Virginia, is scheduled to
meet March % at Mount Vernon.
Two Maryland members of the
commission will be Maj. Robert
Archer of Bel Air, former assistant
attorney general and ardent con-
servationist, and William Hilgeri-
berg, Baltimore wholesale seafood
dealer.
The third man has not been de-
cidkd upon.

The Greatest Of These
(By Palmer HOyt)

(By Palmer HOyt) TT WILL BE DISCOURAGING to the John Steinbeck school of authorship to learn that Horatio Alger still dominates the thinking of the majority of Americans who have any views the question of mans oppor- tunity to get rich quick in the good old U. s. A.
 To find out what-if anythng-our present income tax system has done to undermine public confidence in the cherished ragstorches concept which Alger did not invent but merely chroniced the American Insti- ute of Public Opinion has taken poll
 discovered that 49 per cent of all Americans believe still is possible for this country to produce another Henry Ford with fortune running into nine digits. Fortyfve per cent do not believe it is possible and per cent have opinion

Getting Good Results
(The Rocky Mountain News)

(The Rocky Mountain NeWs)
 THE CIO UNITED AUTO WORKERS convention having given President Walter Reuther complete vic- tory leaders of that unions left-wng faction has adopted number of constitutional amendments urged by him. Three of them, he said designed to meet the requirements of the TaftHartey Act and protect the union" from damage suits under that law Here's what they do:
 l. Prohibit instigaton calling of any strike boy colt without express authority from the unions inter- national executive board or president.
 2. Require each local union ito carry provisions of its contracts and prohibit anyone in the union from advising causing "a breach of any contract entered into by local unon."
 Forbid any local union agent to act for the union without express authority from the international board president
 Like officials of other unions Mr. Reuther objects the TaftHartley Act and demands its repeal by Con- gress. But meeting the laws requirements by such amendments to his unions constitution certainly doesn't

under the impression that if man makes a million dollars a year the government takes half of it in in come taxes whereas actually, un- der the present law, the govern ment takes all but about $l60, ,000.
 The institutes survey leaves the impression that if people realized the extent to which government appropriates great wealth in this country today, they would mt be so hopeful or gullible.
 But the real point brought out by the poll, it seems to us, is that if a majority of the people believe it is still possible to amass 100 million dollars or so in this coun- try, it is a cinch that nearly every one is convinced it is possible for poor but eager boy with a req sonable amount of brains and luck to salt away at least mo lest million bucks.
 Since Alger laid down his pen we have had not only the income tax but a couple of depreSSiCns and a whole library of laws re- stricting business practices, yet faith in the Alger concept of American opportunities remains unshaken. That is important. It is something that no other people in a major country of the world has today.

Stalin's Strategy


 JUST WHY ITALIAN and French Communists are staging bloody riots and political strikes at this time is not altogether clear.
 On the surface they appear self-defeating. Though aimed at the Marshall Plan the Communist violence is increasing French and Italian support of the European recovery plan and at the time building Congress Sonal support in Washington.
 We not sure as that Stan is Short-Sghted in all this He simply may be sacrificing immediate gains for longrange advantage He may ngure that the Marshall Plan would go through anyway. It probably would
 If so he is not losing much by driving more Europeans and Americans to support it-not if he aiding sabo tage of the plan after it begins operation.
 From that angle the Stalin strategy makes Since both Italian and French Communists have failed to get political power by legal means and Moscow threats have failed to frghten any but Soviet satellites away from the Marshall Plan, the Reds best bet may be to create chaos
 They succeeding in that If the strikes continue they will weaken the already desperately sick nations to the point where European recovery will be far more difficult under the Marshall Plan. i If Italy and France be plunged into civil war; or the threat of such class strife be kept alive those countries not likely to make rapid headwayI toward the increased production and unity on which, recovery depends. And the American public, which now rallies to the Marshall Plan because it is under Red attack may react in the opposite way when the Redprovoked European violence really gets under way Then American taxpayers may say there is no to pour billions into countries interested in class fighting than in working Or at least Stalin seems to hope so. Whatever the correct explanation of the Stan strat- egy this is time for snug American certantes that the Reds stupdly helping the Marshall Plan by at tackng it. We could win the first battle and still lose the way for European recovery.

CONGRESS IN ACTION

Spectators at a recent Congress sional inquiry guffaWed. hope that some of them got the point. A movie actor had just remarked, dead-pan: I've heard people say that we would have a more eff cient government without Con- gress." A very serious point was. contained in that statement, which apparently struck spectators as a humorous jibe at lawmakers, present and not present
 It is somewhat of an American custom to poke fun at our elected officials. Some steam is released that way, like the blowing-off of safety valve. That's all right. But that any sane American should suggest doing away with Congress is no laughing matter. You might as well say that we ought to give up our democratic way of life, in the interest of great CT efficiency. One would be equiv alent to the other. But who wants an efficient tyranny?
 Our safeguard
 I am going to say that 1 appre- ciate Congress. I am not ashamed to say it. Moreover, I am concern ed that there are those who fail to recognize the essential dignity and worth of this branch of our government. Out of the Welter of political turmoil in Washington, I think there is still room for a healthy respect for what our Con- gress does And we must never forget that Congress represnts the will of the people, of the majority. Congress is mighty safeguard.
 When any Congressional session is over, try looking back over the record. It will usually surprise you how much was accomplished. Els pecially so, if you are one of those Americans who like to chant: Why, oh why, doesn't Congress do .something?" When the recent Congress adjourned in late July, final action had been taken on at least l7 major issues. This was an array of achievements when you recall that this Congress was the first new Congress following the war.

that the auto workers are being "enslaved.'
 They provide merely for more sef-dscipline-more responsibility in making agreements keeping contracts and avoiding wildcat strikes-a more positive check on the conduct of local union officers and members
 We think these are significant and hopeful reforms. Their wide adoption by other international unions would help, not hurt, the cause of organized labor.
 In opnion they testify to the wisdom of those pro- visions of the Tat-Harey Act which caused the United Auto Workers convention to adopt them.
