Policies Of the Kremlin will ef-
feet to a great extent the amount
Of money we'll spend, the amount
Of taxes we'n pay, how high prices
are going to be and the amount
industry can spend for expansion"
James w. Douthat of the National
Association of Manufacturers told
the District Federation Of Women's

out, the national debt is increasing
with appropriations for national de-
Tense, in addition to ECA aid and
the possibility Of future appropria-
tions for military aid to Western
Europe.
While admitting this drain on the
national economy is responsible in
part for high prices and high taxes,
Mr.. Douthat asserted it is all the
more reason for curtailing waste
full Government spending

The speaker urged that the fed
Grafton study the Hoover Commits
sion report when it is submitted to

advised federation members to use
their influence in seeing that rec
concentrations of the commission

League, However, Will
Operate In 1949 A S
Five Clubs; Committed
Themselves To COntin-
ue Operation.

Directors of the Eastern Shore
League meeting in special session
at SeafOrd, Del, Sunday afternoon,
were told that the league would
operate again in 1949. League
officials and farm system represen-
tatiVes committed themselves to
support of the peninsula's Glass d
circuit, but indicated some changes
in membership may be necessary.
Five Of the eight clubs represen-
ted in 1948 committed themselves
to 1949 operation and two of the
other clubs promised that every
thing possible would be done to-
wards retaining their franchises.
Salisbury, Cambridge and EastOn,
all of whom are farm clubs of maj
or systems, were reported as being
all set for next season and SeafOrd
and RehObOth, each of whom had
working agreements with major
league clubs severed recently, pro-
missed 1949 league activity. Milford,
formerly operated by the Boston
Red SOx, and fredericksburg, previ-
Ously affiliated with the Athletics,
are both still seeking definite COM
mittments from major farm sys-
TENS and have promised to give the
league a definite answer on pOssi-
bility of 1949 representation within
the next three weeks.
Dover was unrepresented at Sun
days meeting, although John
Strickland, who served as business
manager there during the three
years that the Phillies operated the
Dover franchise, was present and
looking after Phillies' interests. The
Phillies apparently have no plans
for continuance of connection with
the ShO' circuit and the Dover fran
chise will revert back to the Dover
Chamber of Commerce at the end of
this month. Dover must secure
/ necessary backing by a November
21st deadine if it is to retain active
membership in the league.
Arthur Ehlers, representing the
Philadelphia Athletics farm sys-
TEN, offered the league, Frederick,
Nd, as a new entry, advising that
the Athletics had already made nee
essaTy arrangements to bring Fred
erick into the ranks of professional
baseball next season. This offer, to-
gether with bids for franchises
from two Maryland Eastern Shore
area communities, Crisfeld and
Centreville, was referred to a
special committee which will re-
view all such applications.

Republican Candidate
Calls For Immediate
Action; Hits Democrat
Plan For Referendum
AS Delaying Measure.

Hyland P. George, Republican
candidate for governor, came out
last Thursday night for an imme-
diate cash bonus for veterans of
World War II.
He also disclosed, in a statement,
that he had contacted several of the
Republican legislative candidates
and found that a great majority of
them sided with him.
The matter of a bonus for veter-
ans thus was no longer a cOmpaign
issue since the two principal candi-
date for the Office Of Governor have
announced their support.
Mr.. Georges statement follows:
i am in favor of paying a cash
bOnus to the veterans Of World War
ii at this time and / have contacted
a great majority of the Republican
candidates as well as the hOld-Over
Republican Senators for the Dur-
pose of ascertaining their position
in this matter.
l was happy to learn that the
Republican candidates for the leg
lslature are in favor of giving the
veterans of World War II bonus at
this time and likewise the hOld-Over
Republican Senators are in favor of
such action.
-. =. Opposes Referendum
MY opponent has suggested a
referendum upon this subject. I'm
Ger our Constitution no such oues-
ton can be subject of referendum.
Inc only provision we have for a
referendum is the sale of intOxicat-
ing liquors and that is specifically
provided for in the Constitution.
IN my opinion there is no reason
Tor Delaware to postpone what NAV
pc termed a moral obligation to the
men who performed such a valiant
and dangerous service to our coUn-
try. If we followed my opponents s
suggestion it would require four
years to amend the Constitution
There is no reason for any such de-
lay The veterans need the assist
anCe now.
The Constitution requires a
three-fOurths vote of the Legisla-
: ture for the enactment of this tvDe
of legislation. Therefore, the bonus
can be provided for at the next ses-
sion of the General Assembly COM
mencing in January of 1949 if the
required vote is obtained in the Leg
islature.
The Republican Party will SUD-
port this legislation and if it is de-
teated it will be because the Demo-
cratsic meTbers of the LEGISLATURE
failed to cooperate.
The legislation of course would
have to include bond issue and
with it there should be a special tax
to pay the interest on the bonds and
to ltquidate them in a comparatively
short period of time.
Some Vets Need Money

time with the fact that veterans
have purchased houses on such a
