applicable to such Federally owned
places as the airport
The so-called boundary act of
October 81, 1945, also enters the
picture.
In establishing the high tide
mark on the Virginia shore as the
District of Columbia Virginia
boundary, it referred specifically to
the right of the State to exercise
certain jurisdictions over civil and
criminal enforcement at the Ma
tional Airport.
No Specific Law Passed.
There was no specific mention OF
segregation laws, State enforcement
of liquor laws, service of criminal
and civil process and collection of
some State Oil and gasoline taxes
were spelled out Some Virginia
officials have contended that the air.
port is supposed to conform to the
Virginia segregation law as well as
to others.
In an effort to settle the matter
the Commerce Department last year
asked Congress to enact clarifying
Legislation to resolve certain legal
questions" No legislation was en-
acted.
On the basis of the Justice De-
partment's recent opinion, the CAA
ruled, in effect, that the State seq
regation law did not apply to the
airport, and that the agency's non
segregation order could legally be
enforced for all facilities at the
Federally-owned airport.

First i've Drama in WMAL-V
Studio STAGED for Speech Session

the convention in lieu OF the preSen-
tation of the more traditional speech
demonstrations or a paper on some
phase of speech or drama.
One of the big lessons learned by
the young actors was that tele-
vised drama in a studio rules out
any of the usual stridine of the
stage. An actor has only to move
6 inches from his appointed spot
and he's out of the cameras range
in no time fiat.
Mr.. Weld remained right behind
the engineers in the control room
with his script, giving them direc-
tions and also using an inter-
communication system to signal
cameramen and producer assistants
spotted about the room.
The players in the trail-blazing
program were Mark Foster, Derrick
Dyatt, Toni McSherry and Harrison
Freidel. The play is one-act pro-
duction written by Gordon Bligh,
originally for the traditional stage.

Television fans who witnessed last

the end product of two months OF

20 hours of labor for about 10

For the station, it marked the

had televised dramas from theaters
and auditoriums.
The innovation meant numerous
rehearsals on a tiny set created in

The teachers were delegates to

The group of young men and
women from eight Eastern States

Glasses Analysed.
Jacques C. Poirier, 4406 River road
NV, a graduate student in physl-
cal chemistry at the University OF
Chicago, compared high school SCI
ence classes to ''treadmllls.'
He explained that all students,
fast and the slow, are placed on this
"treadmill" and go along at the
same pace. He suggested something
be worked out to allow the faster
students to progress according to
their ability and not be held back
by the slower ones.
TOO much specialized science is
taught in our high Schools said
Anthony G. Oettinger, a student OF
industrial management at Harvard
University. I'VE need more general
courses. You don't have to know
thermo-dynamics to ride train"
Other participants said that when
science talent is discovered in a stu
dent, it should be cultivated. One
student complained of courses be
ing crammed down his throat"

The teachers listened intently.
They are members of the American
Nature Study Society, the National
Association of Biology Teachers, the
National Science Teachers Associa-
ton and the education section of
the American Association for the

William Vogt, cher OF the Pan

pretty darn poor job in building
up an appreciation Of nature
People think more of parks as
glorif1ed tourist camps he said.
Devereux Butcher, executive sec
retary of the National Parks Associ-
alton, said that in view of declin-
ing population of water fowl and
other wild game, the chase and the
kill shouldn't be glamorized."
MIR. Butcher said there were 2,000,-
600 hunters this year, compared to
100000 in 1887. The duck popula-
lation, meanwhile, has been cut to
half of the peak of 125,000,000 in

Douglass Assai|s
Political Zeal
lin Education
Criticizes Government
Methods to Build Up
Love of Democracy

The type of governmental EFFORTS
used to educate the people with a
zeal for democracy" was criticized
by DR.. Paul Douglass, president Of
American University. in an address
before the Speech Association OF
America at the Statler Hotel today.
It am not too enthusiastic, DR..
Douglass said, about education for
any political purpose because I have
the feeling that society which pro-
duces sensitive, understanding, COM
municating, responsible, expressive
persons in their own right will be
freer and stronger than any genera
ton of adopts indoctrinated with
zeal for democracy by a feeble di-
vision of the United States Office Of
Education, or by the backwash from
the Department of States Voice
Outside America
DR.. Douglass suggested that COL
leges leave Demosthenes in Greece
and teach young people how to
speak distinctly, enunciate and pro-
nounce clearly with proper oral
grammar, how to express thoughts
simply in straight forward words
and how to read aloud.
Drop in Vote Figures Cited.
A good speech teacher, DR.. Doug
lass said, will produce an undel-
standing and expressive person
equipped for the everyday ex-
change of experience in the every
day situations of living.
Jennings Randolph, assistant to
the president of Capital Airlines and
former House member, told the
delegates to the 33d annual Con-
vention of the speech association
that he is fearful we are losing
democracy by default" as result
of the relatively light vote in the
November presidential election. In
1896, he said, 83 out of every 100
eligible voters went to the polls but
last November only about so per
cent of eligible voters exercised their
| franchise.
Man hears best when the mes
sage comes to him with almost pain
full loudness. John w. Black, pro-
fessor of speech at Kenyon College,
Gambler, Ohio, told the convention
yesterday
Based on Experiments.
The Speech Association is meet
ing with the American Speech and
Hearing Association, the American
Educational Theater Association and
the Committee on Debate Materials
and Interstate Cooperation of the
National University Extension AS
Sociation.
! Prof. Black based his conclusion
h on experiments at Kenyon with
scores of students. He read paper
on the measurement of vowel sounds
before a meeting on experimental
phonetics.
One of the demonstrations that
provoked most interest among the
teachers of speech was the film on
teaching reading, produced and
shown by Dr. Marie K. Mason OF
Ohio State University. DR.. Mason
called it visual hearing"
/ Started on Films in 1880.
f. DR.. Mason started working on the
films in 1880, she said. Now means

them and send them to colleges and
city schools for the deaf. She

Der at a convention of teachers OF

DeadIine April "a;
Penalty For Failure
Equalization Board released

Equalization Board release)
State income tax returns for
1947 are expected to yield more
than $4,000 900, according to a
forecast of the State Board of
,, Equalization at Helena.
Revenues derived from this
source since 1888 have been more
than $13, 600. 600. Of this amount
more than 100000 has been
used for school purposes. The
balance has gone to the support
of general state expense by leg
islative appropriations.
Taxpayers. who miss the boat
in filing their returns, become in
volved in penalties. These pen
alties in some cases are 100 per
cent of the tax, Interest is pay
able at the rate of one per cent
per month. OH the total tax after
it has been doubled,
The legislature did not impose
these heavy penalties for the
purpose of raising venue.
They reasoned that heavy penal
ties would induce taxpayers to
file their returns before the dead
line date.
All penalties can be avoided,
The only thing necessary is to
file returns on time. If unfore-
seen circumstances arise which
make filing impossible the board
is authorized to extend the time.
Applications for extensions must
be made before the due date of
the return. Applications made
after that date will be rejected
and penalties must be paid.
Blank income tax forms may
be obtained by writing the State
Board of Equalization at Helena.

Fence Proposed

still without a fence as the result
of destruction a year 60 last
winter, it has been proposed that
action be taken this spring that

fences around graves and other
sacred property were appropriate
ed.
Proposal for a new fence hinges
upon the cooperative efforts of
various groups in Browning. In
years gone by the American Le-

fence would be supported upon
metal posts set firmly in cement.
