.64th Birthday as
District Fire Cheif

The Commissioners today granted
Fire Chief Joseph A. Mayhem a
years extension of duty after he
reaches retirement age of 81 next
March II.
In a letter requesting the ex-
tension, Chief Mayhem said he
wanted to eliminate the posi-
bility of dissension within the de-
partment" over the selection of his
successor.
The fact that he will be 64 on
March II is known. he said, and
this has resulted in quite BIT OF
discussion within the department
on the relative merits and chances
of those who might be considered
eligible for the post,
'Discussion Is Harmless"
"Such discussion is harmless
enough" Chief Mayhem wrote the
city heads, "but have learned
that many rumors are being cir
culated and alignment of certain
factions is apparently taking place
which. I believe, could result in
the undermining of efficient oper-
ations at a time when smooth
operation is most essential and
desirable"
In addition to his wish to avoic
dissension, Chief Mayhem said ht
was most eager and able to con.
tinue in the service of the depart.
ment."
Chief Mayhem was senior deputy
chief in the department at the
time he was promoted to succeed
Clement Murphy in July, 1949

Percy A. Davis, and next in senior.

Presumably. the effect of the

retirement would be to slow dowr

The Democratic slate, headed by

Mr.. McKeldin's party toured

In territory where miners and
textile unions have strong foot

their campaign oratory on labor
issues.
Mr.. McKeldin made a radio ad-
dress from Cumberland and, re-
ferring to Western Maryland's S

fortunate economic situation" he
promised some remedies if elected

EmbezzIers Tell
What Spurs Them
To Commit Crimes

LOS ANGELES, Calif.-Dr. DON
aid R. Cressey of the University OF
California, in a study Of embezzlers,
reports that embezzlement of money
by persons to whom it is entrusted
is not simply the result Of "crimi-
nal tendencies" or the classic temp
tations Of "wine, women and wag-
ering."
He reports this misapplication Of
money results from a coincidence
Of these prime factors:
The development with an individ-
ual Of a financial problem that he
does not feel he can share with
anybody; perception that access to
other peoples money presents a
possible solution to the problem,
and naturalization by the individ-
ual Of pseudo-legitimate grounds
for misusing the money.
Typical "non-sharable" problems,
the s~ociologist said, r when a
bank teller loses heavily on the
races, but in his position cannot
afford to admit any connection with
gambling; and when a business or
professional man makes a disas-
trous investment without consulting
anybody and thereafter is ashamed
to admit his ineptness.
The opportunity factor is the hand
ling Of other peoples money under
circumstance where it can presum-
ably be borrowed" briefly with
out being missed.
The naturalization factor In en-
bezzlement is not the ultimate self
justification in which most crimi-
nails indulge, but justification before
the crime which in retrospect often
does not plausible even to the
malefactors themselves.
Sometimes, DR.. Cressey found, the
naturalization involves admitted
dishonesty, but dishonesty that is
presumed to have justification. Thus
in one case a man who thought he
was not receiving adequate pay
took the difference out of his en-
ployer's till; later, when he got an
increase above W h t he thought
was his due wage, he tried to re-
imburse the till accordingly-but
was caught before he finishd.
He suggested that in dealing with
apprehended embezzlers it should
be borne in mind that most of them
realize the error of their ways even
before they r caught. Of the 9TH
er, Imprisonment alternatively may
bring their standards back into
proper adjustment or through ex-
posture to criminal ideologies, may
confirm their twisted value scales.

New Theory Of Creationj
Milky Way Born Of Clouds

WASRINGTON-A new theory Of

He says latest astronomical evil
dence indicated the stars Of the
Milky Way were formed about three
billion years ago out Of flying
cosmic clouds"
DR.. Splitter offered no explana-
ton where the flying clouds came
from. The report said it "still is a

The theory is h great gas

the pyrest vacuum ever produced
on earth, gradually condensed into
individual stars as a result of grave

Late Marriage Is Reason
For W Children, Report

NEW YORK-College graduates,
averaging around 40 years old and
out Of school a quarter OF a GEN.
fury, have a deficiency Of rs per
cent in the number Of children born
to assure replacement, according
to findings Of DR.. w. A. Anderson,
Cornell university rural sociologist.
DR.. Anderson studied 1895 grad
yates Il, 1925 men and 370 women
Of the Cornell classes Of 1919, 1920
and 1921, and found the deficit OF
men graduates was 81 per cent,
and for women, Al per cent.
He based this on the fact it takes
2.22 live-born children for each col
lege graduate for the son or daugh-
ter to reach college graduation age
Of mother or father. The Cornell
ians averaged 1.64 children.
OF the entire group studied, IS
per cent we're married, II per cent
single, l per cent divorced, and 2
per cent widowed.
Men established their families at
about 20 years of age, and the wom-
en- at about %. This late age Of
marriage is given as a chief reason
why college graduates do not on
the average have enough children
to replace themselves. The students
received their diplomas at the av-
erage age of % years.
The reproduction rates of Cor
nell graduates are practically the
same as those of other colleges,

Leaves were bigger and greener,

The sawdust is treated with min

not hot enough to char the cellu-
