voices, and has contagious ex-
uberance.
Although less smoothly and con-
vincingly constructed than Stra-
vinsky's Symphony of Psalms, ,
Mr.. Allanbrook's work had an alive
ness that Stravinsky's lacked. The
writing for the voice is not Stra-
vinsky,s strong point and its mea-
gerness in the symphony" per-
mitted of little other effect than
that produced by accent. For the
orchestral accompaniment, consist
ing of woodwind, brass instruments

and organ added, he has concen-
trated his best efforts. If there Is
a certain drab quality even in the
more colorful sounds the instru-

It was rather strange that, with

chosen for inclusion in this pro-

because rarely heard, they formed
a Sombre note against the other
works. Yet, perhaps through the
familiarity of their style, the chorus

the other numbers. A lovely inter-

Robertson Would Ship
Surplus Foods 10 Europe
By the Associoted Press

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 13.-
France and italy might prefer
wheat but we have a surplus OF
peanuts, dried fruit and canned
sweet potatoes that should be utn-
ized," Senator Robertson, Democrat
of Virginia declared here yesterday
in urging that emphasis in the
European food relief program be
placed on shipments of those types
of food I'VE can best spare.
Senator Robertson, in an address
at the annual convention Of the
Virginia Farm Bureau Federation,
declared American should insist
that black markets be wiped out in
France, Italy and Germany.
There are many Republicans and
some Democrats in Congress" he
contended. who would like to ham,
string and end completely the Hull
reciprocal trade agreement pro-
gram" adding that "for the long pull
the 102 multilateral trade agree
ments recently signed at the Geneva
conference Is an encouraging sign
for the American farmer.
ITO a large extent modern wars
have been trade wars" he continued
If it be true, and believe it is,
that economic chaos is the spawning
bed for communism and that des-
perate men are willing to exchange
ballots for bread, what a contribu-
ton to a lasting peace would be our
help in the economic rehabilitation
of the countries of Western Europe
if after rehabilitation we refused to
trade with them?"

Record Low Prospect:
For Oyster Dredging
In Chesapeake Seen
ey the Associoted Press

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Nov. 13.-
Prospects for dredging in Chesa-
peake Bay are "as poor if not poorer
than any time during the entire
history of oyster dredging in Mary
land" Ralph c. Hammer, State
shellflsh culturist, reported today.
THE absence of shells in the low
er Bay indicates that the scarcity
of oysters is a~result of over fishing
while the abundance of shells at
the head of the Bay indicates Sc
we're natural mortality due to fresh
waters in 1945 and 1896" he added
Mr.. Hammers report summarized
a survey made last month by the
Department of Tidewatef Fisheries
with representatives of the Depart
ment of Research and Education
and the United States Wildlife
Service. 1t was released at time
when the Tidewater Fisheries De-
partment disclosed the heaviest
daily dredging hauls reported from
the bay were no more than so
bushels.
Only Pembroke Bar, portion Of
Cedar Point Hollow, was found in
the survey to yield marketable
oysters in the lower part of the
bay, south of Patuxent River. Mr..
Hammer attributed the "meager"
setting rate to the absence OF
sna Wninp adults"
Commercial dredging would be
possible for limited time on East
ern Shore bars between Stone Rock
and Love Point, the report continued
although there was no assurance OF
production after the next few weeks
Stone Rock was estimated to yield
ITO marketable oysters per bushel
the most of any bar surveyed. Next
highest was Graveyard, with ITO per
bushel.
Unlimited supplies of clean shells
were found north of Sandy Point, al
though only Snake Rip bore oysters
of commercial quality. 4
TN view of the limited number OF
adult oysters in the area, it is rec
commended that the head of the Bay
bars should remain closed,
the report said.

'Appea|AcquittaI
Constitutional Issue
Raised in Case in
Prince Georges

The constitutionality of appeals by
the prosecution from acouittals in
lower courts was before the Prince
Georges Circuit Court today.
The question was raised yesterday
in plea filed by Attorney Walter L.
Green and taken under advisement
by Judge Charles C. Marbury. Mr..
Green asserted that such appeals, IL
permitted, would violate the Bill Of
Rights.
The attorney raised the point in
the case of William A. Terry III, 81,
Lanham Md, who was acquitted in
Hyattsville Police Court October 8
on three manslaughter charges grow
ing out of traffic accident.
Mr.. Green contended that the ap-
peals, which had been requested by
Assistant States Attorney Hervey
G. Machen, would, if granted. place
his client in double jeopardy by per-
mitting his trial twice on the same
charge.
State Code Cited.
Mr.. Machen argued the State code
provides either party in trial be-

by the verdict, may appeal,

slaughter counts, Mr. Terry was
found guilty of driving while drunk
and reckles driving He was fined a
total of 5000 by Trial Magistrate
Arthur P. Owens.
These convictions were appealed
by Mr.. Green, who asserted all the
charges resulted from one offense
and thus merge into one" If his
client was not guilty of manslaugh-
ter, the attorney declared he was
not guilty of the lesser charges.
Fatally Injured.
Terry, a filling station attendant,
was arrested as the driver of an au-
tomobile which crashed into a pole

Mr.. Machen told Judge Marbury
he probably would not have filed
the appeal in the Terry case if Mr..
Green had not appealed the convic-
ton on the lesser charges. The as
sistant States attorney said he is
attempting to prove that trial

considered a court of law"

Report on Extension
OF Pension System
In Virginia Completed
light, Three times one night
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Nov ia COM
mittee report on the advisability OF
extending the State retirement sys-
tenn to include certain county off,
GERS has been completed and will be
sent to the Virginia Advisory Legis-
lative Council.
Delegate E. Blackburn Moore Of
Berryville is chairman of the VALC
Committee which held public
hearing here yesterday.
The committee was named to in
vestigats extension OF the retire
ment system to cover common
wealth's attorneys, treasurers, clerks
of courts Of records, commissioners
of revenue, sheriffs, sergeants and
their deputies.
The city-State officers were de-
scribed at the hearing by former
Senator E. Glenn Jordan of Rich
mond, who now is commissioner OF
revenue, as so many orphans as
far as a pension or retirement plan
Is concerned.
Neither government, he said, is
willing to claim them for this pur-
pose. He added that in his office
are several deputies who have beer
in faithful service for IA years or
more.
Ben C. Garrett, clerk of King
William County, urged that the
State pay costs of a retirement
system in the same proportion that
it pays portions of the salaries OF
the officers.
Commonwealth attorneys are
paid half by the State and hall
by the county or city commission
ers or revenue and treasurers are
paid two-thirds by the locality anc
one-third by the State, and sheriff:
and sergeants receive tWo-thirds o.
their salaries from the State ane
one-third from the locality. Clerk
receive their income from severa
sources and Mr.. Garrett recon-
mended the burden of their retire
ment be paid half by the State ane
half by the locality.
Among other suggestions was ont
by E. B. Martin, Charlottesville cit!
sergeant, who proposed that fee
for services performed by sheriff
and sergeants be increased sufi
ciently to cover retirement costs.
