Deer Season in Maryland
Unchanged Despite Death,
By the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Oct. 14.-Mary-
lands deer hunting season Decem-
ber 5-10 will not be affected by
the recent wholesale deaths of the
animals in this area. Ernest
Vaughn. head of the Game and
Inland Fish Commission, said yes
terday.
Hundreds of the animals had
been stricken by mysterious af-
Fiction in Maryland, Virginia and
West Virginia.
At the Army's Aberdeen prov
ing ground, where some 300 deer
were felled, chemists reported
blackleg disease was responsible
for the deaths.
Mr.. Vaughn said he had not
been officially notified of these
findings and recalled that tests
at the Patuxent (Md) chemical
laboratories had traced the deaths
to a poisonous substance rather
than a disease.

Official Says Cost
OF Turkeys Will Be
Reduced This Year
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Oct. IA. Your
Thanksgiving turkey will cost less
this year-possibly down around
81 to SO cents pound.
w. D. Termohlen, director of
the Department of Agriculture S
poultry branch, told the Maryland
Turkey Producers Association
yesterday that housewives will
get turkey at about the same
price as in 1916 and 1947."
At that time prices varied great
ly. he said, but the national av-
erage was somewhere between 81
and SO cents a pound.
For instance. in the Baltimore
area in 1916 hens ranged from
SO to so cents a pound and toms
cost up to So cents. Last year
most butchers were selling birds
under 18 pounds for IS cents a
pound.
Output Small Last Year.
Mr.. Termohlen told the pro-
ducers at their annual meeting
there weren't enough birds on
hand last year. Prices were too
high" he said.
This year he predicted poultry
men across the country would
grow about 41,000.0OO gobblers-
enough to put W pounds on every
ones plate.
Mr.. Termohlen said farmers
have been selling turkeys "at or
above support levels" the last two
months with the September aver
age being 343 cents a pound.
He added that the Government
has bought up 100000 pounds but
I'VE don't want to take great
quantities" He credited to the
national turkey federation the
fact that support prices now are
80 per cent of parity.
The director indicated produc-
ton limiting marketing quotas
might follow higher support prices
Norman Receives Trophy.
Mr.. Termohlen predicted that in
10 years everyone should be con-
suming 10 pounds of turkey a
year. Six pounds next year was
a goal outlined by C. Fred Smith
eastern manager of the Poultry
and Egg National Board. Cut-up
turkey would do it, he said. SO
that housewives could go into a
store and get whatever amount
she wants.

Amendment Assures
Senate Action on
Three New Judges

By Harold B. Rogers

The measure to relieve crowded
dockets in Municipal Court here
by adding three more judges now
is up to the Senate.
The bill to strengthen the lower
court was passed late yesterday
by the House.
1t was amended on the House
floor to conform to a bill ap-
proved by the Senate Dis
trict Committee and now pend
ing on the Senate calendar. The
bills now are assured of coming
up for a vote, since the Senate
plans to call it's calendar sometime
before it adjourns. Latest pre-
diction as to when the Senate
hopes to quit is next week some
time. but much controversial leg
islation still is pending.
Bill Stirs Debate.
The House bill for three more
Municipal Court judges UNDER
went crossfire of debate when
called up by Chairman Mcmillan
of the House District Committee.
Attacked by Representative
Gross, Republican, of Iowa, who
tried to recommit the measure to
the District Committee, the meas
ure Weathered the storm. Mr..
Gross motion was killed, first by
standing vote of 49 to Z, and
later by roll call vote of 286 to 30.
Representative Young, Demo-
crat. of Ohio tried to liberalize the
measure to make it possible for
four judges out of the total of 13
judges on the bench to be nom
residents of the District, from any
section of the country, provided
they were members of the Dis
trict Bar Association here. This
was defeated.
Must Live in Area.
The bill, as it went to the Sem
ate, increases the judges of Mu-
nicipal Court from 10 to 13, pro-
vides the three new judges shall
have been in active private prac-
tice of law for five years or have
five years of practice in either the
Federal or District governments,
and must live in the Metropolitan
Area. This is similar to the pend
ing Senate bill.
The measure was handled on
the House floor by Mr.. Mcmillan
and Representative Harris, Demo-
crat, of Arkansas.
The House also passed two other
minor District bills. One would
permit banks to pool into COM
mon trust fund several smaller
trusts, for better investment The
second would provics that holders
of liquor licenses might set up
charge accounts for sale of liquor,
if they paid an additional license
fee of $3.50 a year.
Flood Bill Goes Over.
The House plans to act today
on the bill to modernize the elec-
trio lighting system of buildings
on Capitol Hill. buying electricity
from the Potomac Electric Power
Co. instead of using the old Capt.
tol power plant, which would be
turned into a steam plant.

contained in the omnibus river
and harbor bill. went over to the
next session of Congress yester-
day, when Senate leaders took it
off the list of bills to be con-
sidered before adjournment this
month.
Senate Majority Leader Lucas
announced that the measure,
which also contains authorization
for 15-year program to eliminate
the water chestnut from the Po-
tomac River here, will not be con-
sidered this session. The bill has
been passed by both House and
Senate. but no agreement on diff

Pool al Stanton Park
Would Be |nfer-raciaI,
Senate Fund Unit Told

The $175.000 swimming pool
that the Interior Department
wants to build at Fort Stanton
Park would be inter-racial in every
way, but might relieve tension"
at the Anacostia pool, a Senate
Appropriations subcommittee was
told yesterday by Assistant Secre-
tary of the Interior C. Girard
Davidson.
Mr.. Davidson and Chairman
Harry S. Wender of the District
Recreation Board appeared before
the subcommittee at a three hour
session for consideration of nu-
merous proposed deficiency out
lays. The items included the re-
quest sent to Congress last We'd
nesday for an immediate appro-
priation of s175,OOO for new
swimming pool in Southeast
Washington.
No Action Taken.
The swimming pool recommen-
dation has not reached the Senate
committee in the form of a bill,
but the subcommittee invited Mr..
Davidson and Mr.. Wender to give
their views in advance to facilitate
possible action before Congress
adjourns. The subcommittee took
no action on the matter yesterday
and asked the officials only a few
questions.
The Interior Department official
told the subcommittee the main
reason for the request was to re-
lieve congestion by providing ad-
ditional pool facilities in that sec
ton.
The racial question was men,
toned briefly, Senators said. Mr.
Davidson was asked if the purpose
of the suggested project was to
provide a recreation pool for
colored swimmers so that Ana
costa pool might be used by
whites.
Anacostia pool was the scene of
disturbances last July when
colored swimmers tried to use it..
The pool was closed for the rest of
the summer.
Sees Tension Eased.
Mr.. Davidson declared the
proposed Fort Stanton pool. while
in a neighborhood composed
largely of colored families, would
be open to whites as we'll as
Negroes. The department, he said,
holds to its policy that facilities
should be made available to every
pool on a nonsegregated basis.
It nevertheless would help to
relieve whatever tension exists at
Anacostia, he added. He remarked
that this was a reasonable pre-
sumption because "the more facil-
tiles you have in a neighborhood,
the less tension and congestion
there will be-"
Mr.. Wender explained that the
District board has not considered
the proposed Fort Stanton pool
and was not informed in advance
that the request was going to
Congress. He declared he never
theless advocated such an ap-
preparation for the Interior De-
partment and was confident the
Recreation Board would favor it..

the other parties being opposed to the
idea.
The Social Christians, however. have
not won a majority. They will thus have
to make q coalition arrangement with
one or more OF the other parties. The
existing coalition was between them and
the Socialists. But the election returns
indicate that the Socialists barely held
their own, whereas the Liberal Party made
surprising gains, virtually doubling its ex-
isting representation In the Chamber. This
indicates middle-class discomfort with
high taxes, cost of living and Socialist
backed naturalization and welfare prof.
ects A conservative liberal coalition thus
becomes political possibility leaving out
the Socialists, though the obstacles might
be many.
The final aspect of the current elections
is the poor showing of the Communists.
They have lost approximately one-half Of
their voting power in the previous election,
and will have only dozen seats in the
next Chamber. Since there will be total
of 2l2 seats, this reduces the Communists
representation to a negligible fraction.

Frederic D. McKenney

During more than sixty years Frederic
Duncan McKenney exemplified in Wash
ington the conception of De Tocqueville
that "the profession Of law is the only
aristocratic element which can be ANAL
gamated without violence with the natural
elements of democracy, and which can be
advantageously and permanently COM
bined with them" His view OF the work
of courts was that it should represent the
principle of government by the best quail
fed in terms of honor and equity. He
sought by his own devoted endeavor to
strengthen the profession to which by
deliberate choice he belonged. None OF
his contemporaries held the bar In higher
esteem or greater affection.
The story of Mr.. McKenney's career is
a story of natural growth. He was born
to his vocation as the son Of the seventh
clerk of the Supreme Court, an officer
who held that post from 1858 to 1918. The
