Christmas Seals
To Raise $4,000

At least $324,90O must be raised
during the 1949 Christmas Seal Sale
which opens on Monday, November
2lst, according to William H. Staub,
president of the Maryland Tubercu-
losis Association.
Mr. Staub called on every Mary
lander to assume his share Of respon-
sibility in making the 1949 Christmas
Seal Sale a success.
"The goal for the 1919 campaign
represents the funds which are ur-
gently needed to continue the tubercu-
losis program in Maryland and to
expand the services rendered by the
Maryland tuberculosis Association,
and its county associations" Mr..
Staub said.
Seal Sale funds are the sole support
of these associations, whose programs
are aimed at the control and eventual
eradication of tuberculosis in Mary
land. Ninety-five cents of every dollar
raised during this campaign remains
in Maryland.
Over eighty million Christmas
Seals will be sent to the people of
Maryland who are being asked to
participate in the 43rd annual Christ
mas Seal Sale Funds raised during
this campaign make possible a year
round program against tuberculosis
associations in Maryland.

In regard to posting property
have found that a majority of the
farmers and landowners will admit
hunters to their property if the
hunters will ask permission. The
landowner is proud, and he likes to
feel that he is the boss. l know of
one large landowner who recently
told me that the only reason he posted

asked him to explain and he said that
he likes to hunt. He preferred a hunt
er coming to his door and asking per-
mission. He would then tell the hunt
err which body of the woods was open.
The landowner would then feel free
to hunt in another area.
There are a few things the hunters
should do to help improve the re-
lationship between the hunter and
landowner: First-The hunter should
call in person on the landowner and
ask for permission to hunt on his
property. q have done this and
actually had the landowner take a
walk with me and point out several
deer runs.) Second-He should treat
the property as he would his own.
Third-He should inform the land
owner of anyone seen damaging the
property. Fourth-He should shoot
only legal game Should he accidently
shoot doe, this should be reported.
Fifth and last-he should, if con
venient, return by way of the house
and thank the farmer or landowner
for his kindness. If the hunter has
killed a buck, then he should offer
part to the landowner.

BY the Associotsd Press

Representative Keefe. Repub-
lican. of Wisconsin promised
long House speech today "on the
conduct of Judge Samuel H. Kauf-
man in the Alger Hiss case"
He said he had ready a 24-page
discussion based on information
and documents in my possession
bearing on the judges fitness to
serve on the bench"
Mr.. Keefe made known his
plans after comforting with Rep
resentatives Nixon of California
and Velde of Illinois. These two
Republican members of Congress
have called for an inquiry of Judge
Kaufman's handling of the Hiss
case, contending he was biased
for the defense.
Mr.. Hiss, former State Depart
ment official, was tried before
Judge Kaufman on charges of
perjury in denying that he had
slipped secret Government papers
to Whitaker Chambers, a former
Communist courier. The case ended
in mistrial. with eight jurors
for conviction and four for ac-
quital.
Among character witnesses for
Mr.. Hiss were Supreme Court

Small Greenland Base
Seen Strengthening
u. ). Arctic Defense
BY the Associated Press

New indications of quiet moves
by the United States to improve
its military lookout in the Far
North were disclosed today in
official quarters.
Among the projects is work on
a small naval operating base To-
Gated in a ford at Grondal, near
the southwest tip Of Greenland.
This little known installation is
used to provide limited repair and
general supply service to ships
operating in that area, the Navy
says. So far as is known, this
is one of the most northern Of the
Navy's secondary bases in the At
lantic and Arctic regions.
Some misunderstanding.
CThe Associated Press re-
ported in a dispatch from
Copenhagen that the Danish
Foreign Ministry denied any
knowledge about the base. A
Government spokesman said:

MISUNDERSTANDING
Increasing emphasis is being
placed on the possibility of air at
tack on the United States across
the polar regions. Thus both the
Navy and Air Force have been in
tensifying efforts to maintain pa
troll Of those regions.
The status of American bases
in Greenland is obscure. Both
the Defense Establishment and
State Department have had little
to say about the existence of air
or naval facilities there.
Negotiations between Denmark,
which owns Greenland, and the
United States have been under
way for about two years. They are
directed at substituting some new
agreement to replace the wartime
understandings which enabled the
United States to operate military
installations in Greenland
Hesitant on Commitments.
Denmark, close to Russia, re-
portedly has been hesitant about
making commitments with the
United States for defense bases
against possible attack by the
Soviets. The United States has
had no troops in Greenland or
Iceland since soon after the war.
During the last three years,
most American activity in the
area has been confined to weather
observations stations and the use
of airf1elds for weather planes or
as emergency fields for Air Force
or naval aircraft operating in or
across the area.

GRAFTON of the department at the

with national security and ex-
pressed the probability Of very
substantial reductions in expend-
itures."
The House is scheduled to take
up today legislation reforming the
budgetary procedures in the De-

declaring that a defect in the
measure would vest by statute
specific functions relating to fl
nancial management in a subor-
dinate official who would be made
an appointee of the President.

This is a detraction from the
responsibility of the Secretary"
Mr.. Truman asserted. 1T departs
both from our present practice
and from the principles of depart
ment management stated by the
Commission on Organization of
the executive branch (Hoover
Commission) with which I am in
agreement. I cannot support
budgetary or other control sys-
TENS which fail to confer respon-
sibility in a clean-cut manner and
which present possible obstacles to
effective administration"
The President pointed out that
he had recommended earlier legis-
lation to reorganize the military
establishment, and if these are
not going to be made he wants
this plan approved.
He said that only by legislation
could the Department of Defense
"be placed in, the proper relation
to- the military departments of

Urges Stronger Defense Setup.
Strongly urging Congress to
strengthen our defense organi-
zation which is so vital to the Sc
curity of this Nation and the
peace of the world the President
concluded:
Whether the reorganization
comes about by legislation, which
I would prefer, or by reorganiza-
tion plan, it should deal ade-
quately with the subject and pro-
vide for clear lines of RESPONSE
bility and authority. This does
not mean the creation of one
man rule or dictatorship. Our
constitutional system is the best
possible safeguard against that
eventuality. 1t does mean, how
ever, that we can receive full
value from the dollars which go
for defense and that the Govern
ment's activities in this important
area will be more effectively
