Maryland u. Weighs
10 Set Up
Journalism School
By the Associated Press

The University of Maryland ad-
ministrative board plans to take up
early next month a proposal for
setting up a separate journalism
department.
The Maryland Press. Association
was asked to name a committee of
editors and publishers to advise the
university on details of the pro-
gram. Eugene T. Cunning, city ed
itor of the Cumberland Times,
has been named chairman.
Dr. Harry C. Byrd, president of
the university, said yesterday the
plans probably will never evolve
into establishment of a school of
journalism.
II doubt there is need for one" /"
he said, explaining that Il was a
newspaperman myself for % years. "
DR.. Byrd's observation was that
newspaper reporters and editors
need a broad, general education
rather than an emphasis during
college years on technical subjects
which they have to forget and
learn all over again as soon as they
go to work"
The administrative board will de-
eide next month, however, whether
courses which have been set up in
the English department of the COL
lege of arts and sciences are sub
stantial enough to constitute ma
jor" course of study and merit a
bachelor of arts degree in journz
alism.
If so. the courses will be- set up
as somewhat of a separate admin
istrative unit in the school with a
status approaching that of de-
partment.
DR.. Jack Y. Bryan, professor of
English, has taken the lead in
setting up the courses and project
ing the separate department idea.

Winchester Gas Users Convert
Burners Before Tuesday Cutoff
gas, he said, will increase

to the new gas, he said, will increase
heating costs almost 100 per cent.
For example," he said, "a store
that now pays 500 a season for
gas heat, would have to pay about
$l85 a season if the cylinder gas
were used"
At City Hall, City Manager S. Lee
Grant said he had been able to do
little but answer his telephone since
the notice of the gas stoppage was
issued.
"One thing you can say conclu-
sively," Mr.. Grant said, lis that the
gas will be shut of at midnight
Tuesday"
Shea Considers Franchise.
MIR. Grant said many gas users
were confused this week when
Michael e. Shea, president Of the
Commonwealth Natural Gas Co. of
Lynchburg, approached Council
concerning a gas franchise in the
event he purchased the local COM
pany.
Mr.. Shea said he felt that the
city could be serviced with natural
gas when the proposed pipeline was
completed and that he would make
proposition to purchase the local
company if he felt a franchise
would be granted by Council.
Gas company officials, however,
reported late yesterday that any
possible deal with Mr.. Shea had
fallen through. They added that
several other offers" to purchase
the company had been received, but
did not indicate If sale was immi-
nent.
It was pointed out by Mr.. Grant
that even if natural gas is to be
brought to the city, this Is at least
18 months off. Until that time, he
said, residents using gas must find
other means of cooking and heating
water.
There are no large industries
here that depend on gas. OF the
city's three bakeries, two use oil.
fired ovens and the other, a small
cake bakery, uses coal.
The largest user of gas, it was
said, Is the Valley Food Co., manu-
facturer Of potato chips. Company
officials are now investigating vari-
GUS types of new equipment, both
electrical and oil burning.
With the few stores that use gas
for heating, it was pointed out, the
problem is not acute, since time re-
mains for possible conversions.
But with crews at work, there is
little chance that any will go hun
cry when the shutoff comes.

can limit their authority to make

for THEIR candidates young,
qualified, CONSCIENTIOUS men.
History was made in electing
a Negro candidate. History was
also made in NOT electing a Ne
gro candidate.
Southern demagogues, in parti
cular, rave and rant that the Ne
gro, if granted his constitutional
right to the ballot, could be herd
ed into bloc voting, not necessari-
ly for the most capable candidate,
but for the one cleverly plying
on his naivete, his bullibility, his
venality. And, of course, Negro
would ALWAYS vote for Negro
San Antonio voters answered
that calumny, Saturday. They DID
vote for and ELECTED a Negro
- but not just because he was
of the race. He also had the
qualifications, the ability, for the
office he sought.
At the same time, another Ne
gro was also seeking election. But
the citizens of San Antonio were
not impressede with his qualifi-
cations. They DID NOT vote for
him, he was not elected.
