.Tydings Recalls Purge
Attempt by Roosevelt
In Denton Address
By Alex R. Preston
Sior Sioff Correspondent

DENTON, Md, Oct. 1S.-Sen.
ator Tydings is campaigning con.
fidently in this Eastern Shore COM
munity where President Roose-
velt tried unsuccessfully to purge
him IL years ago.
At a Caroline County rally here
last night, Senator Tydings re-
ferred to the purge attempt which
resulted in one of his greatest vic
tories at the polls. introduced by
Wesley Thawling, Denton attor-
ney who said, Il hope I will live
to see you become President -
Senator Tydings responded:
Il am particularly grateful to
the people of Caroline County
who stood the test of one of the
great battles of my life"
Fought Supreme Court Packing -
In 1888, Senator Tydings was
one of those who joined in the
fight against the packing" of the
Supreme Court by President
Roosevelt. AS a result, the Presi-
dent sailed up the Chesapeake
Bay one day and docked at Girls
field. Continuing on to Denton
by car. he asked the purge from a
platform in front of the court
house here.
Judge T. Alan Goldsborough of
the District Court for the District
OF Columbia then was Maryland S
1st district Representative in Con-
gress. His home is here. He in
troduced Mr.. Roosevelt to the
throng assembled in front of the
old brick courthouse. The Presi-
dent lowered the boom.
The result? Senator Tydings
came out of the primary with
something like a 10000 vote
majority. BY the time the general
election rolled around, a sufficient
number of Marylanders had be-
come aroused over the Outside
influence" to return him to office
by 203,000 vote majority, the
Senator recalls. Judge Colds
borough subsequently was named
to the court by President Roose-
velt.
Cites Friendship With Judge.
Judge Goldsborough and I are
great friends" Senator Tydings
said.
Senator Tydings' campaign
against John Marshall Butler. Re-
publican, last night was limited to
discussion of international
affairs. In general his plea was
for continuing the Democrats in
power to insure world peace-an
argument that he has presented
elsewhere in the State.
He was accompanied here by
Gov. Lane and other Democrats
seeking reelection.
Gov. Lane dealt with the Chesa-
peake Bay Bridge, among other
issues.
Il cannot let go unchallenged,
said the Governor, "the remarks
made by my opponent last week
in Southern Maryland"
He referred to speech by
Theodore R. McKeldin, Republi-
can, at LeonardtoWn.
"Mr. McKeldin says the Gov
ernor is all wrong in building a
bridge across the bay" Mr.. Lane
said. He says we should have
added another ferry boat.
Il have figures that show that
to take care of the anticipated
traffic of cars travelling 80 lailes
per hour, 100 feet apart, it would
require II additional ferry boats
round trip every hour,
"a hours day."

Health Officials
Fear Shortage
.0f Milk Here
Military Demands
May Cut Supply, but
New Rules Will Stand

Health Department officials are
becoming concerned over the pos
sibility of milk shortage here
similar to that in World War II
because Of growing demands for
milk from nearby military estab-
lishments, 1t was learned today.
Nevertheless. Health Director
Daniel L. Seckinger is opposed tt
any extension of the November
deadline for new milk regulations
which have met the opposition of
independent dairies here.
DR.. Seckinger is reported to feel
that the answer to any milk short
age is a staff big enough to in
spect new farms that might want
to ship to Washington.
To Confer Tomorrow.
DR.. Seckinger is scheduled to
confer tomorrow with the Commits
Sioners on the regulations.
The independents have sug-
geSted 10 changes in the new reg
ulations and asked that they not
be put into effect until June /,
and that. meantime, the Health
Department be allowed more in
spectors to visit farms in the
Washington milkshed to certify
them to import milk into the
District.
DR., Seckinger and officials of
the Health Department have given
great deal of study to the sug-
geStions of the Independents and
are willing to modify some of the
regulations.
Deadline Extended.
During the war the Commits
sioners allowed milk to be i'm
ported from dairy farms which
had not been inspected by the
Health Department..
Early this year the Commission
ers announced the ban would
again be put on milk from dairy
farms which had not been in
spected by the Health Department.
The ban was to go into effect
July /, but the Commissioners, at
the request of the independents.
extended the date TO November /.

The Army and Navy got to-
gether at Fort Belvoir's proving
grounds today to prove they're
both on the right road.
Using a chemical made out of
corn cobs, they sent a standard
iroad-building machine with spe-
cial attachments over sandy
stretch of barren Virginia soil at
IL feet per minute-and left a
paved road behind it.

exhibition drew high-ranking of
ficials from all branches of the
armed forces and Government.
The volcanic ash of Two Jima
would have been no problem had
the process demonstrated today
been available then, one veteran
of that operation pointed out.
Three years ago, the Navy's
Bureau of Yards and Docks took
its beach stabilization problem to
Princeton University's DR.. Hans F.
Winterkorn. Briefly. the problem
was this: How to achieve hard
surfaced beach in minimum time,
at minimum cost with minimum
equipment and personnel and with
materials which would not be in
critically short supply during war
time.
Begun in 1916.
DR.. Winterkorn began work in
1916. using as a basis a process
he had investigated during the
war for the Civil Aeronautics Ad-
ministration for use on landing
fields, but which had not been put
to actual use.
He came up with a mixture of
analine and furfural, neither of
which are strangers in the chem
ical field. Analine is dye chem
ical and furfural, derived from
corn cobs or any graln-bearing
plant, is used in the refinement of
gasoline.
The Princeton researcher was
present for today's show and eX-
planned the mixture would cost
about 8 cents per pound.

New Quarters
Dedicated for
14th Precinct
Young Praises Police
In Ceremonies at
AID and Benninq

The new 14th precinct station
house at Forty-second street and
Benning road NE. was dedicated
today in ceremonies attended by
District government and police Of
f1cialS and several hundred resi-
dents of the area.
Commissioner John Russell
Young told the gathering that the
fine station house symbolizes the
fine police force we have in WASH
ington."
Mr.. Young said the fast-growing
northeast section long has needed
a modern police precinct house.
Recalling that he began his
career and his acquaintance with
policemen many years ago as a
police reporter, Commissioner
Young said things have changed
great deal. Jokingly he re-
marked that the policemen of that
day were mot the fine, shapely,
athletic men we have now" The
old-time policemen had "big bel
lies and they had to ride bicycles.
Mr.. Young said.
First Name Goes Into Book.
The Commissioner said the new
station house was further evi-
dence that efforts were continuing
to improve the Washington police
force. He paid tribute to Police
Chief Robert j. Barrett for his
part in making the department
one OF the Nations outstanding
police forces.
After Mr.. Young spoke, the flag
was raised, officially opening the
station for business.
However. one customer had al
ready been served by the new
station house before the official
opening. Just before the cere-
mony began, Seat Pleasant man
arrived to pay a SO parking ticket,
thus gaining the dubious honor of
having his name first on the book
Iof the new precinct.

of Civic Associations and newest
member of the Board of Educa-
ton.
The precinct station, the police
departments finest, has sound

and its detectives. Each of its 10
cells has a private toilet and new
hunks with soft mattresses on
order.

Barnes have been approached by
police who want to be transferred
to the precinct, but no one wants
to leave, Capt. Barnes said. In
the "old days." he pointed out.
policemen didn't want to go to
outlying precincts, but now they're
asking for it.
A two-story brick building with
large basement for a janitor's
quarters and storage rooms, the

There have been no facilities for

the Senate committee. was given
in support of a Government re-
quest for an appropriation of
$1398 million. Most of this was
for building four Government es-
tablishments in outlying areas
where 10000 persons would be
employed. 1t included $14 million
for access roads. Congress failed
to appropriate the money but the
request is to be renewed when
sessions are resumed.
The dispersal plan ultimately
contemplates IL or 13 outlying
agencies employing $4,000 to 100,-
900 persons and costing $3.50 mil

NOBODY KNOWS
ABOUT THE FUTURE

Four years ago no one be-
lieved that the Virgin Is
lands would have a native
governor. And four years
ago no one believed that
st. Croix would have a plant
for pasteurizing milk, nor
that the pasteurized milk of
ST. Croix would be the best
in the Antilles and one of
the best of the world. This
statement might surprise
you, but we have the evil
dence of it. It is only neces-
sary for you to drink the
milk to convince yourself of
the truth.
Now at last hotel man
ayers and business men of
the island can tell the tour
lists and the world that the
island Of st. Croix produces
its own pasteurized milk.

"This is an inquisition. This is
