It seemed from the testimony that

The girl, they thought, was not good

Baltimore Rivals NewYork
As Nations Busiest Seaport
By Eleanor Griesemer

BALTTMORE.-The port OF Bal
timore Is ready to do battle with
New York for first place in handling
the Nations fast-expanding foreign
trade.
Baltimore last year took care Of II
per cent of our imports and exports
against New Yorks II per cent.
Philadelphia ranked third and New
Orleans fourth.
For two freak months Baltimore
actually displaced New York in ex-
port tonnage, thanks to a boost from
Government coal and wheat ship
ments.
In. foreign trade dollar valuation,
however, Baltimore was outstripped
by both New York and New Orleans.
Much of Baltimore's port tonnage
comes from low-value bulk cargoes,
such as ores, coal, grain and wood
pulp.
Want General Cargo.
What We want" said G. H. Pou-
der, Export and Import Bureau di-
rector of the local Association of
Commerce, "is more general cargo
and package type freight.
Baltimore has freight rate ad-
vantages over competing Atlantic
ports for the Middlewest shippers,
and probably the most eficient
cargo handling and dispatch on the
Eastern seaboard.
'"The facilities are here - the
job is to show the shipper it's to his
advantage to use them"
Baltimore has opened a Chicago
Office, expanded its schedule of port
tours for visiting foreign delegations
and published handbook pointing
out freight differentials and other
items in 100 slick, well-illustrated
pages.
The city has port development
commission although It, can build
facilities only If there Is a customer
to lease them over period of
years. The Association Of Com
nlerce does port promotional work.
The quality of our steamship
service Mr.. Pouder claims, Is i'm

ships still clear via New York, and

by herself in the back Of the court
smiling her queer, bitter smile.
IT think he said slowly, that
she is q no-good person who has
brought my brother in here to re-
venge herself on him" ..
When the girl was called she
walked boldly to the center of the
room and stood, her hands in the
pockets of her coat, swinging her
shoulders slightly as she spoke. Her
long eyelashes were darkly sill
houetted against the light from the
windows.
"Quiet, YOU"
Had she, the defense lawyer
asked, known what the young mar
was planning to do with the pistol
She said she had. The lawyer
interrupted her quickly, Had she
known the pistol wouldn't work Z
Yes, but ;. Well, why hadn't she
included these facts in her original
statement to the police?
The girl started to answer-once
again the lawyer broke in. This
time, however, the Judge learned
forward and pointed long finger
at him.
"You keep quiet a little" she said
I'VE want to hear what this girl
has to say"
She hadn't mentioned the Gig
arctic lighter or the fact that the
pistol was broken because she didn't
think 1t was important, the girl said.
She had only wanted TO do her duty
to society and to the state. The boy

more direct sailing routes from
Chesapeake Bay
Baltimore Is one Of the worlds
largest grain exporting ports, with
elevator storage capacity of over
l2,000,000 bushels. The port already
has started to handle about 1,000,-
600 tons OF coal monthly, or more
than one-third Of the Governments
coal export program.
Freight Rates Lower.
To sell shippers on the peace
time importance of low freight
costs, the new handbook states that
Baltimore, nearer the interior than
any other eastern port, enjoys a
3-cent-per-1o0-pound freight ad-
yantake over New York and Boston
and a 1-cent advantage over Phila-
delphia.
Mr.. Pouder says the ports 10

Deep-sea freight handling is done
at the four railroad marine terni-
mails, directly to and from the ships,
thus saving turn-around time and
trucking and carfoat expenses.
Almost all the ports marine ter
minals are operated by the Balti-
more g. Ohio Railroad, the Pennsyl-
vania and the Western Maryland.

sible. His clarion call: France has
lost a battle: she has not lost the
war" electrified patriotic French
men everywhere and nerved them to
an invincible struggle against the
German tyranny.
This almost religious certitude in
France s destiny is accounted for. In
turn, by De Gaulle's conviction
that he is the incarnation of the
French spirit. It is reliably reported
that. on more than one occasion, he
compared himself to a Joan of
Arc. And, psychologically, there
would seem to be an undoubted
parallel. De Gaulle appears to
have little or no personal ambition.
He Is not the stuff of which a
Caesartan dictator on the pattern
of Napoleon is made.
Outcome Uncertain.
Yet he may be compared to a

man sense; modern Cincinnatus.

thoritarian methods limited to the
crisis which renders them necessary,
yet equally ready to limit those
methods to the duration of the
emergency and thereafter to sur
render them to an established sys-
tenn Of law and constitutional pro-
cedure.
What the consequences of De
Gaulle's action may be remain a
moot point. Some critics, while
admlrlng his patriotism and even
admitting the theoretical validity of
his ideas, feel that he may precipi-
tate a struggle between extremists
which could end in civil war and
national disaster. Other critics be-
ieve that politics of every descrip-
ton should be subordinated to the
task of economic recovery and ma
terial reconstruction. The outcome
will doubtless be determined in
large measure by the course of in
ternational events as we'll as by
happenings within France itself, At
any rate. De Gaulle and his follow
ing would seem to be definitely COM
mitted to their crucial venture. on
fhich % much might depend.

Then she turned to the man in the
back Of the room. And you," she
said, pointing to his chair, "sit down
and stop making so much noise in
my court" ..,..
The lawyer continued, eloquent,
persuasive, dramatic. He felt he
had a winning case and was clearly
bent on making the most Of 1t. 1t
was absurd, he said, for the court to
have wasted its time on the personal
problems OF these young people
almost children. The investigating
officers should never have held the
young man for trial. 1t should have
been developed in preliminary aues-
tioning that no crime had been COM
mitted.

tol on the table-was no weapon. It

man had wanted to make cigarette

could it be considered a weapon?
"The only guilty one here" he
said turning quickly, his arm out
stretched, "is that girl. She lied In

But it was going against her.

would decide the case never once

Choice OF Man.
II believe" he wrote several years
ago. that men may learn to work
with the forces of nature, neither
despoiling what God has given nor
helpless to put them to use. be-
lieve that through the practice OF
democracy the world OF technology
holds out the greatest opportunity In
all history for the development OF

talents, aspirations and willingness
to carry the responsibilities Of .

I'VE have a choice: To use science
either for evil or for good. believs
men can make themselves free.
These convictions have been forti-
fed as I have seen them take on
substance and become part OF this
life OF this valley and of its people"
This statement was q forerunner
Of his famous credo which he uttered
before the Senate Atomic Energy
Committee after he had been baited
by Senator McKellar as a friend OF
communism. AT that time he said:
II deeply believe in the capacity
of democracy to surmount any trials
that may lie ahead, provided only
that we practice 1t In our daily
lives"
Mr.. Lilienthals faith In denoc-
racy and It's processes, will again be
put to the test when the commission
goes to Congress for its annual ap-
preparations.
Appropriations Hurdle.
This is the second immediate
task before the commission, and
1t will reveal how Senators and
Representatives face the unique
problem In peacetime OF appro-
priating hundreds of millions Of
dollars for a project without being
told exactly what the money Is for.
II the Aces appropriation request
followed usual procedures before ap-
committees there could
be no secrecy of Its operations. A
foreign government or . saboteur
would need only to read the COM
mittee reports to learn important
secrets.
The budget for next fiscal year
requests $3.50, 900 900 for current op-
erations and s25o,oo0,ooo for future

law provided that any unexpended
balance shall remain available for
