Elections

Certain actions in connection
with policies or changes in funda-
mentals of Delaware's school sys-
tenn, by statute require authority
of the people through a referen-
dunn. These cases include such
problems as boundary changes, To-
cation of schools, consolidation of
schools, discontinuance of Special
School Districts, bond issues and
local taxation.
In every school election, outside
of Wilmington, whether for the
purpose of referendum or election
of school officials or otherwise,
every citizen resident of the dis
trict involved is entitled to vote if
he, at the time would be entitled
to register and vote at General
Election in the district. In determ-
lining whether a voter is qualified,
the election official is expected to
inquire of every person offering to
vote, his or her name, citizenship,
residence and length of residence
in the School District and length
of residence in the County and
State. Should anyone challenge a
persons propriety, the official may
request the voter to answer the
questions under oath. If the per-
son submits, he is entitled to vote
and if he declines he is to be re-
fused the right. Upon voting
every voters name and address is
placed on poll list which is turned
over to thte Clerk of the Peace in
the County. Should it subsequent
ly be proven that any person was
an ineligible voter he is subject to
a fine or Imprisonment.
If the State Board of Eucation
desires to establish new boundary
for School District or location
for a school, it is necessary for the
Board to consult with the Board of
School Trustees of the District and
publish notice of a referendum, at
the school or schools affected, for
two weeks prior to the proposed
change. However, the State Board
of Education may alter the boun-
daries of any School District with
out special election if written
consent of the owners of the real
property to be transferred has been
obtained and if the Boards of
School Trustees of the Districts
affected have adopted a resolution
favoring the action.
The State Board of Education is
authorized to affect the boundaries
of any Special School District pro-
wided it obtains the written assent
of the majority of the qualified
voters in the territory to be added
to or taken from. In lieu of such
written assent, authority may be
obtained through a majority vote
at a referendum, provided two
weeks notice is posted on the
School House of the District. In
case of the School Districts of Will

Dutch Navy IsAceused
OF Piracy in Seizure
Of U. 5..Liberfy Ship
by the Associated Press

- %
i BATAVIA, Java, Mar. Ga ship
captain and a lawyer from the Unit
ed States Jointly accused the Meth
erlands Navy today of committing
an Sact of piracy" in seizure Of the
American Liberty ship Martin Behr-
man with her cargo Of commodities
from Republican Java.
The two were Capt. Rudy Grey,
master Of the Martin Behrman, and
James w. Ryan, attorney for the
Isbrandtsen Co. Of New York, the
vessels operator. The ship, escorted
by a Dutch destroyer, arrived at
Tandjong Prick, Batavia harbor,
last week end after loading rubber,
sugar and cinchona tquiniHe BARK
at Cheribon.
Capt. Grey and Mr.. Ryan made
what they termed a written appeal
through the press to the United
States Government for protection
of this American vessel, her master
and crew against the use Of vio-
lence."
Protest Prevented.
"The Netherlands East Indies di-
rector Of economic affairs, j. e.
van Hoogstraten, arbitrarily re-
fused to let Ryan present a protest
against the treatment Of the Behr-
man." the appeal said.
The Behrman was standing Q
miles offshofe at the port of Cheri-
bon wifer, under threat that she
would be sunk by gunfire if she
failed to obey, she was forced by
the Dutch destroyer Kortenaer and
Dutch marines to leave territorial
waters, travel 160 miles on the high
seas and re-enter territorial wa
ters at Tandjong Prick harbor.
From the moment the Behrman
reached the high seas, the Kor-
tenaer became a pirate ship unlaw-
fully using the American vessel as
a Dutch prison ship for the confine-
ment of the Behrman's master and
crew, who were not indicted for nor
convicted of any offense.
THE Dutch naval officer aboard
told Grey his marines were under
orders to shoot the American helms
man If he attempted to deviate from
the course"
Formal Protest Asked.
Capt. Grey said the Dutch had
not yet attempted to unload the
ship. A government communique
last night reported the unloading
had begun.
Mr.. Ryan said yesterday that the
State Department had been asked
to file a formal protest In the case
and that the matter would be put
before Congress if necessary.
Mr.. Ryan said Mr.. Van Hoog-
stratep in a formal notice had re-
ported that an inspection had shown
the Martin Behrman's cargo to have
, been looted from Dutch estates
now in Republican hands.

President Issues Proclamation Ending Possibilities
tBy Douglas B. Cornell)

WASHINGTON, R)-President Truman yesterday ended the peri cd of hostilitieS of the second world war.
 He left intact however, the status of emergency declared by the late President Roosevelt be- fore the United States went to war and he said that the action did not end "the state of war itself"
 Recommendations will go to Congress, MT. Truman told news conference, with respect to cancel ling the national emergency and ending the state of war.
 His proclamation ending hostili- ties, effective at noon yesterday, did erase from the statute books at once 20 wartime laws.
 Still others will automatically die six months from today unless Congress acts to continue them. One of these is the Smith-Connal- ly anti-strike act under which the government has seized strike bound plants and mines.
 Another is the law under which wartime leases of silver held or owned by the United States.
 In a few instances, MT. Truman said, statutes affected by the proc lamation give the government cer- tain powers he believes should be continued in peacetime, or at least for the remainder of the period of reconVersion.
 In these instances, the Presi- dent said, he will ask Congress for additional legislation.
 Under questioning as to whe- ther this was step in his promise

Asks Legislation Beneficial To Alaska

WASHINGTON, R Legisla- ton designed to benefit Alaska will be introduced in the next ses- sion of Congress by Delegate Bartlett, who will ask the law makers to approve statehood for the Territory.
 Bartlett said the statehood bill will not be introduced until he has had time to make some further re- visions in his former bill, but ne expects it to be ready early in the session.
 The delegate said in a statement he proposed to ask Congress to enact legislation that will extend the federal aid and federal high ways laws to Alaska, to provide for election of the Governor of the Territory now appointed by the President and to provide that resi- dents of Alaska shall have prior ity in employment in fisheries and fishing industries of the Territory.
 He said he also would propose a bill to require that the Governor of the Territory shall be a resident of Alaska.
 The Delegate said he would ask that residents of the Territory be permitted to vote when reaching the age of IS instead of the age of 21 as now.

Eisenhower Ready To Run For President

WAS SHIN GTON, (P) - The Times-Herald said today in a copy right story that Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower was reported ready to run for President in 1948 if the people want him"
 Eisenhower, the Times Herald said, is said to have told friends during informal discussions while on a fishing trip off Miami over the holidays that "I will run for President if the people of the country want me to run" The friends were not identified.
 The Times-Herald continued:
 "The statement was the first evidence that the general has given any attention to frequent re- ports that he was being felt out as nominee by representatives O. both major parties" Attempts to reach General Eisenhower at Mi ami, said the paper, brought the response that he had gone to Ever glades City today on a fishing trip.
 Eisenhower, army chief of staff went to Miami recently for a phys ical checkup at the Pratt Army General hospital. Although the general has never given any indi- cation as to his party feelings, it was pointed out in Washington last night that Senator Capper R.-

New Years Eve Revelers Gay In States
CBy the Associated PreSS)

The nations legion of New Years Eve revelers, backed by substantial supplies of noisemak- CTS and bottled cheer, greeted the infant l947 with the biggest, loud est and by all indications the most expensive celebration in the his tory of year-end blowoutS.
 Owners of night clubs, bars, ho- tels and restaurants in key cen ters of the nation rubbed their palms and told the same story; all reservations were taken, record crowds attended and cash register totals skyrocketed.
 In New York City night clubs charged-without liquor-from $5 to $40 per person and had all the takers they could handle. But many spokesmen for the enter tainment industry in New York and elsewhere predicted this New Years eve celebration would be the last big, easy money fling.
 For the stay at homes and pri- vate partygoers there was some cheer from the fact that Scotch whisky was down from S1 to $3 a bottle in many New York stores. Bonded bourbon and rye had been slashed as much as $2.
 The New York police depart ment assigned 1884 patrolmen and detectives to handle the tens of thousands of revelers which greet ed the New Year in Times Square
 Noisy celebrants rubbed elbows with the most serious minded en- route to watch night services in many churches.
 In the nations capital the night clubs and hotels had their biggest night of the year with top prices about SIP for dinner and dancing.
 Chicago was braced for what shaped up as the biggest binge in its history. One gold coast spot charged $100 a person, but reserv- ations generally averaged $15 for cover charges. Supper and favors ranged up to $18.30 a person with drinks extra.
