It is still an art to quilt
bedspread; to first cut out,
then sew the design together,
and then quilt it. Why can't
we make heirdooms for our
children? We have materials
at hand far superior to those
used by the early settlers.
Let's make things with our
own hands for our own sat
isfaction and pleasure. =
Busy hands and minds are
not apt to get into mischief! j.
There is no greater salts
faction to me than to be able
to do and make things with my
hands. Il is a gift of which /
am proud and which / want

vivid Imagination of child
gives inspiration and life to
any handicraft.
The early pioneers, out of
necessity, dyed their own
linsey- woolsey, which they
had woven. They made their
own rugs, quilts, furniture and
kitchen utensils. Their even
nings by the fire were devoted
to Bible reading by the hus-
band and handwork by the
wife, while the children lay
secure in their beds. In this
life they found contentment

Taxi Cab Parking
Stands Authorized
Stands Provided For IL Cabs
In Downtown Area - Parking
In The Square To Be Eliminated

At joint meeting of the Mayor
and Council, the Board of Street
Commissioners, and Attorney D.
Kenneth Mclaughlin representing
the taxicab drivers, held in City Hall
on Monday night plans were COM
pleted for the setting aside of seven
parking zones for taxicabs in the
downtown area, that will provide
stands for II cabs.
Following a full discussion of the
matter, in which several police Of
ficers took part, the Board of Street
Commissioners, on the motion of
Police Commissioner Roy Knight,
recommended to the Mayor and
Council that the following zones be
set aside for the exclusive use of
taxicabs for hire
A stand for one cab in front of
the Hamilton Hotel, w. Washington
st.
A stand for one cab in front of
the Second National Bank, W. Wash
ington St.
A stand for two cabs in front OF
Montgomery Wards w. Washington
st.
A stand for three cabs in front Of
the new Moose Club on S. Potomac
St.
| A stand for four cabs in front Of
the E. Washington Street side Of
the Hotel Alexander.
| A stand for four cabs in the space
formerly occupied as bus stop or
N. Potomac Street just north of the
Square.
A stand for two cabs in front o.
the A & P Store and Mobley';
Jewelry Store on N. Potomac st.
The Mayor and Council immedi
ately took action on the recon-
mendation of the Street Board, anc
on a motion made by Councilman
Jack Hellane and seconded by Coun
Gilman Claude M. Potterfeld, thu
| Mayor and Council ordered the CITY
Attorney to draw an ordinance set
ting aside these seven zones for thu
( exclusive use of taxicabs for hire
The ordinance will provide that thu
stands can only be used by taxicab
actually there for hire, and if a cal
is left standing in any of these park
ing zones without the driver, thel
they will be ticketed just as an.
other car would be for a violation
of the traffic laws. The new ordin
ance will provide parking spaces TO
II cabs in the downtown area ant
will eliminate the present parkin
of the cabs in the Square itself.
Attorney Mclaughlin, who is ais
Washington County's State Senator
stated at the meeting that at tn
next session of the legislature h
will again introduce a bill to plac
the Hagerstown taxicabs under tn
supervision of the Public Servic
Commission, and the Senator point
ed out that he introduced a simila
bill at the last session, but that
was vetoed by the Governor. A.

blockade.
The word "ultimatum" is used
because it sets a time limit for the
Soviet reply. The consequences OF
| the ultimatum are not as ominous
however, as the term implies. In the
event of a negative Soviet reply-or
refusal to reply at all-the Western
powers intend to submit the whole
matter to the United Nations.
OF course, no one in Washington
expects any concrete results from
such a move. The Soviet govern
ment will not alter its attitude mere
ly because the matter has been pre-
sented to the supreme international
organization.
Two Alternatives Seen.
According to diplomatic observers,
one of two results may be expected
from such an action: Cd The Soviet
may not oppose submission of the
case to the Security Council and
with reservation of the right to OBJ
ject-may accept a decision where
by the occupation forces of the four
powers are solemnly ordered to with
draw from Berlin; or CD the Soviet
representatives may use their veto
power to prevent the matter coming
up in the Council at all, and the
Western powers will take it up with
the General Assembly, which meets
| in Paris next week.
Nobody in Washington ventures
to speculate what will happen If this
"ultimatum" is presented and the
Berlin situation is submitted to the
| U. N.
The Russians may decide to ac

uation Of occupation forces from

is unwittingly encouraging real
Communists to defy congressional
committees by taking refuge In

parency Of which his own Justice
Department should be ready to eX-
pose by relentless prosecutions.

his efforts to undermine the con-
stitutional position Of Congress. II

This Changing World
West May Demand Russian Declaration
On Berlin and Then Appeal to i. n.

Berlin. This would mean that the
American, British and French con-
tingents will withdraw at least 100
miles west into the bizonal area,
while the Russians will pull their
units a few miles out OF the former
German capital.
Some American and British ON
cials who are concerned over the
crisis, fearing that Berlin may be
the spark which will set the world
aflame again. figure that the with
drawal of occupation forces might
alleviate the crisis and that Western
forces could be removed with
honor" under the injunction Of the
Security Council. While we would
be abandoning Berlin. we would
also be obeying the orders Of the
supreme peace organization. The
Russians, 1t Is believed, might be
persuaded to accept the decision Of
the Council under such conditions.
Vote of Censure Possible.
Submission of the Berlin crisis to
the General Assembly would be an
empty gesture. There would be
lengthy and violent speeches and
Idenunciations from the representa-
tives of the Western nations and
from those of the Iron Curtain
countries.
A vote of censure would have to
be asked and 1t is considered highly
probable that the two-thirds major
lty would he provided on such
vote. The nations which agree to
censure the tactics OF the Soviet
Union would be on record with
moral support of the Western pow
ers. Beyond this, however, there
would be no possibility Of obtaining
an equitable solution to the present
problem and the situation would
continue tense.
The American and British air
forces are prepared to continue the
airlift as long as possible, but in
spite Of statements that we can
carry on through the winter, there
are serious doubts as to the actual
amount which can be transported
even If the Russians do not inter-
fere physically with the planes
when Northern Germany's severe
winter weather sets in. Even now,
in spite of the splendid work by
Western transport planes, the guam
tity OF goods delivered to the pee
pie of Western Berlin is barely sufi-
cient to keep body and soul to-
gether.

Friends Expecting Woman Senator
To Improve Record Made in House

tional convention until the follow
ing day when a prominent New
England editor got word to Speaker
Martin, convention chairman, that
this silent treatment Of the new
party heroine wasn't making q very
favorable impression in some quar-
tiers. Then she was invited and
given hearty public congratulations.
So that is how the Republican
regulars love the gallant girl who
started her career in a 5-and-10-
cent store, became telephone op-
orator, a school teacher and final
ly q politician when her husband,
a member OF the House, died. Yet
look at her votes, from the view
point of liberal: Wrong on le-
criprocal trade agreements, on dis
placed persons legislation, on anti
imitation measures, on the Knutson
income tax bill, on rent control, on
reclamation, on the IVA steam
plant, on housing legislation.
Wrong on all these, from the
liberal viewpoint, but right as rain
from the viewpoint Of the House
Republican leadership. And what
could be more pleasing to the ears
of these leaders than her victory
statement?
What Happens in Committee?
"The people Of Maine have spok-
en-" she said, "and with great clari-
ty and conviction. They have shown
the Nation that they still adhere
to sane and safe Republicanism
the forerunner Of a great Re-
publican victory in November"
In the light OF all this, asked
one Of those shrewd girl reporters
who abound in Washington, to ex-
plain the contradiction-why we
who call ourselves liberals were
supposed to love the new Senator
and why the Republican House
leaders obviously do not.
TITS like this" the female ex-
pert replied, Margaret thinks right
and she works right In committee.
She doesn't go along with leaders
except when 1t comes time to vote.
Then she accepts the party line.
Then she's regular. To stay in
politics IN Maine you have to be a
regular. That's all there is to it.
"Wait till she gets to the Senate.
Then you'll see. There's no party
machine in the Senate like that in
the House. She'll be free, like Tobey
and Aiken. Just you watch"
Watching will be pleasant, for
about one thing there is no dis
pute. The new Senator from Name
is easy to look at.

Truman Seen Raising
Issue Of 0ne-Man Rule
In NLRB Controversy
Elected Representatives
Held Justified in Checking
On Executive Agencies
Bv David Laurence

President Truman has handed to
Gov. Dewey on platter campaign
issue Of fundamental importance to
the cause Of representative govern
ment in America.
The issue. briefly, is whether the
people, through their elected repre-
sentatives in Congress. will rule or
whether there will be one-man gov
ernment.
Up to now the right Of Congress to
inquire into and check up on
whether the executive branch of the
Government is faithfully enforcing
the laws has been a prerogative and
responsibility Of the peoples rep
resentatives. Today Mr.. Truman, ig-
noring all precedents, has served
notice that it Is not the right of
Congress even to raise questions as
to whether the laws are being prop
erly enforced.
The controversy is climaxed
through the publication by the
White House of an extraordinary
exchange Of letters between the
President and the associate general
counsel Of the National Labor Re-
lations Board. Although Congress,
by a specific provision in the law
known as the Taft-Hartley Act, stip-
ulated that joint committee of
both houses should observe and
study the enforcement of this law,
Mr.. Truman denounces as inter-
ference the action Of Senator Taft,
chairman of the committee, in
making inquiries. He goes further
and calls it an attempt to put the
heat on the labor board.
Precedent Is Cited.
Actually, there was precedent for
the setting up of the Taft commit
tee. For years the Joint Committee
on Internal Revenue has surveyed
from Capitol Hill the enforcement
Of the tax laws and has made per-
tinent inquiries. Indeed, staff men,
bers OF that committee spend good
deal Of time right along in the
Offices of the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue.
The purpose, Of course, is to keep
In touch with the operations of a
law so as to determine If and when
amendments are necessary. Public
hearings alone would be inadequate,
as the questions concern day-to-
day enforcement problems on which
technicians must be employed by
Evening star., 1948-09-16

Congress to check the work of tech
Inicians in the executive branch.
1t so happens that Mr.. Truman is
not in sympathy with the Taft
Hartley Act and has publicly con-
demned it to the point where 1t
may be questioned whether he him
self has not been putting the heat"
on his own appointees, whose re-
appointment depends on him.
Congress, anticipating just such
situation, provided that the gen
eral counsel of the National Labor
Relations Board should be inde-
pendent of the Truman-dominated
labor board and made the general
counsel subject to removal only on
causes specifically stated in the law.
Dictatorship Is Seen.
Again and again In the past
members of Congress, Democrats
and Republicans, individually and
through committees. have written to
or called in person on, the Attorney
General and his assistants in the
Justice Department to urge the en-
forcement of various laws and to
point out failures to prosecute. II
Mr.. Truman means to cut off men,
bers of Congress from commune

Government, he is certainly seek
ing to make an extraordinary
change in the customs and prac-
tices of representative government
BY his course, he is making 1t pos

prove her voting record. at least.
Curiously, she is generally regarded
as liberal, despite a record OF
party regularity scarcely surpassed
by any of her House colleagues
during the period that earned for
the Eightieth Congress its reaction
airy, illiberal reputation. She voted
consistently with the Martin-Hal-
leck leadership on issues that were
supposed to separate the sheep from
the goats-meaning the party reg
ulars from the party irregulars.
And yet the regulars seemed to
have little faith in Mrs. Smith.
How they felt about her was re-
vealed quite clearly at the Phila-
delphia convention. When the
news was flashed from Maine that
she had won the Republican nom
ination, a young New England
reporter hunted up Owen Brewster,
soon to be Mrs. Smiths colleague
in the Senate, and asked HIM to
comment. The reporter came away
looking startled.
Invitation Is Belated.
"Why," he said, II can't write
some of the things he said! The
only thing printable he said was
that he couldn't understand what
the people of Maine were thinking
about; that Mrs. Smith had been
New Dealer ever since she came
to Washington"
Others Of the party leaders ap-
parently felt the same way. None
took the time to telegraph con-
gratulations to the happy woman
