ferred by the Defense Production
Act.
The proclamation also would set
the stage on Capitol Hill for more
rapid action on emergency legis-
lation which the President might
call for.
President Roosevelt proclaimed
the last national emergency in a
fireside chat May 27, 1941. The
proclamation said that IAN un-
limited national emergency con-
fronts this country which requires
that its military, naval. air and
civilian defense be put on the
basis of readiness to repel any
and all acts or threats of aggres-
sion directed toward any part OF
the Western hemisphere"
The proclamation called on "all
loyal citizens" to "give precedence
to the needs of the Nation" and
on "all loyal workmen as well as
employees to merge their lesser diff
ferences in the larger effort to in
sure survival of the Government.
Limited Emergency In '39.
President Roosevelt had pro-
claimed a limited national emer-
gency on September 8, 1889. Dec
laration of the unlimited" emer-
gency gave him no new powers.
But it did set the stage for series
of new laws which he began firing
at Congress. Two days after the
last proclamation he asked Con-
'gress for a law to requisition prop
erty of any kind. 1t was powerful
ammunition in the close fight to
extend the Selective Service Law
for another year.
The emergency was declared
ended for some purposes by Presi-
dent Truman in 1947.
The National Security Resources
Board has drafted a list of addi-
tional powers which the President
might want to ask Congress for If
the threat of war grows graver.
These would sanction broad Fed
eral control of employment, freer
immigration of farm labor, GEN.
sorship. advance payment for sup
plies, war-risk insurance and freer
use of United States Lake ports
by Canadian vessels.
Of the dormant statute which
would be given life by proclama-
ton of an emergency only a few
have not been superseded by later
legislation. Among these are law.

Confident on Korea
After Seeing Att|ee
BY the Associated Press

tawa today for defense talks with
Canadian officials in the light of
his washington talks with Presi-
dent Truman on the world crisis
Mr.. Attlee will address the people
Of Canada In a nationwide radio

chief Of the Imperial General
STAFF, and Sir Alexander Clutter
buck, British high commissioner
to Canada.
Says Korea to Be Held.
Mr.. st. Laurent. emerging from
the conferences with Mr.. Attlee,
told reporters "The information
have is that the United Nations
are not going to be driven out of
Korea"
He added that "all of us in the
cabinet feel quite comforted by
the information given to us by
him (Attlee) and the chief of the
Imperial General Staff after their
conference in Washington"
Mr.. Attlee himself refused to
answer questions put to him by
reporters.
More Optimistic Attitude.
Authoritative quarters in the
British-Canadian party which ac-
companied Mr.. Attlee from New
York said there appears to be a
more optimistic attitude that Ko-
rea can be held.
This attitude nigh change, they
said, but for the moment there
was feeling that the chances of
stabilizing the United Nations
lines warrant hope.
MIR. Attlee talked with Canada's S
Defense Minister, D. L. Claxton
during the flight. He had dinner
with External Affairs Minister
L. B. Pearson and other Common
wealth representatives in New
York last night. He will leave Ot-

These and other comments on
what the Truman -Attlee talks &C
complished were overShadoWe.i.
however, by the overall indications
yesterday of more unity talk
among Republicans on Capitol
Hill.
Senator Brewster sounded this
note clearly when he was asked
what he thought the Republicans
would do about the "Acheson must

got to move with great circum-
spection in view of the imponder-
ables involved" in the current sit
uation.
Declaring there has been "a lack
of coordination on both sides o1
the aisle, and at both ends o1
j Pennsylvania avenue" the Maine
Republican added, I'VE have got
to show we are capable of reas.
sembling ourselves"
Senator Brewster said he ha.
continuing confidence that al
our leaders will recognize superior
responsibility in this crisis to any
merely personal or partisan con.
sideration."
Brewster Seems ENCOURAGED.
Indicating that he was encour-
aged by the results of the Truman
Attlee talks, Senator Brewster
said:
1T see indications the President
IS recapturing the spirit in which
he approached our problems
throughout the war (World War
III when I was associated with
him on the Truman Committee in
the Senate"
When Senator Ives was asked
for comment on Gov. Dewey's
statement that this is not the
time for further criticism Of the
Democratic national administra-
tion's Far East policies, he re-
piled:
II quite approved Of the state
ment. I still believe that Secre-
tary Acheson should be replaced
After all, what I'm seeking to
promote at this perilous time, as
is the case with every other loyal
American, is unity, and I certainly
don't want to force any action
that will cause more disunity."
When the 11-member Senate
Republican Policy Committee met

suggestion that President Truman
be asked to appoint a new Secre-

New Offices Planned
For Handling DPS
by the Assoeiatsd Press


The Displaced Persons Commits
sion is planning several additional
branch Offices abroad to take care
of a new influx Of European war
refugees.
President Truman yesterday
signed legislation raising by 1885,
900 the number of DPS who may
enter the United States.
Included are $4,000 World War
II Polish soldiers who went to
Britain rather than return to their
Communist homeland, 10000
Greeks and 1000 refugees from
former Italian territory ceded to
Yugoslavia.
Commission officials said these
additions will require new Offices
at least in Britain, Greece and
probably Trieste.
There is another special new
category Of 1000 refugees from
Communicated Shanghai, mostly
White Russians, but the bulk Of
the newcomers will continue to
arrive by way Of occupied Ger
many.
Thus far, 162,542 DPS have
reached this country and have
been scattered to every State.

Funny Stuff?
1t Worked

A burglar was one night engaged
in slowing a good haul of plumber
in his bag when he was startled by
a touch on the shoulder, and, turn
ing his head, he beheld a venerable,
mild-eyed clergyman gazing sadly
at him.
"Oh, my brother" groaned the
reverend gentleman, "wouldst thou
rob me? Turn, l beseech thee
turn from thy evil ways. Return
those stolen goods and depart in
peace, for l am merciful and for
give. Begonei"
And the burglar, only too thank
full at not being given into custody
of the police, obeyed and skunk
swiftly off.
Then the good old man carefully
and quietly packed the plumber
into another bag and walked softly
ESQ as not to disturb the slumber
of the inmates) out of the house
and away into the silent night.

sues of an earlier date. Before the
Civil War the Democratic party had
always been strong in this County.
But when the trouble arose between
the Union and the seeded states,
some of the prominent leaders of
the Democratic party locally, vol
unteered for service with the Con-
federates. This led the majority of
people to think there was a close
connection between the Democratic
views and the Secessionists and dur
ing the war years measures were
drawn up which prohibited many
people from voting. Every would
be registrant for voting had to an
sWer a number of questions before
he was eligible, and many things
barred him; for example, if he con-
fessed that he had ever had any
wish that the Confederates would
win, he could not vote So,during
the war years, it was useless for
the Democratic party to even name
candidate locally.
But after the close of the war, the
unjustness of the registration re-
quirements was soon seen. The
Democratic party began to revive
in 1866 and many former adherents
returned to the party A call went
forth for a State Convention to re-
peal the registration laws and num-
Der of local men were sent to this
convention to carry out this repeal,
including: Richard H. Alvey, James
Wason, Zachariah S. Clagett, David
Cushwa, William Dodge and George
Schley.
And here is an interesting note
that is new to me. President Abra-
ham Lincoln's Proclamation of
Emancipation freed only the slaves
in the States that had seeded. That
left quite a few slaves in the border
states, SO the Legislature of Mary
land Immediately took steps to of
ficially pass in the State of Mary
land the same kind of act. 1t seems
that this required a Constitutional
convention, so an act, calling for this
convention, passed both houses of
the General Assembly at once.
To this convention Washington
County sent the following delegates:
Peter Negley, Henry w. Dellinger,
James P. Mayhugh, John R. Sneary,
Lewis B. Nyman and Joseph F. Da-
Wis. The new constitution was pre-
pared, and submitted to the people,
and passed by heavy majority in
1867.
