SECOND LAND SURVEY
IN GARRETT COUNTY

Grassy Cabbin," 500 acres, sur
veyed for Captain Thomas Bassett in
1867 and patented to him in 1868, lies
north of the National Road and on
the Casselman River. A century ago
427 acres of this tract belonged to
Jacob and Daniel Blochcr. 1t was the
subject Of noted law suit, finally
decided in favor of the Blochcrs in
1910, by the u. S. Cupremc Court.
The name Grassy Cabin" was prob
ably suggested by cabin in grass
grown Indian fields at the old cross
ing of the river-thcn known as
Martins Cove perhaps Martins
cabin. The patent refers to the Cas-
selman as "Old Town Creeks which
indicates there was once an Indian
village on the property, where relics
of the red men are still found ON the
William Stanton farm.
Captain Thomas Bassett was one Of
Gen. Braddock's engineers in the eX-
petition against Fort Duqucsne.
When helping to build the Braddock
Road between Little Meadows and
the Little Crossings he doubtless
noted this fertile, gently sloping land.
In 1856 he was granted a warrant for
it by Lord Baltimore's land office;
this warrant was renewed, due to the
continuance of the war. Grassy
Cabin" was partly cultivated" be-

fore the French and Indian War, by
some unknown possibly Mar
tin so it was one of the very first
places settled temporarily in our
county.
Capt Bassett appears to have re-
turned to England. He sold Grassy
Cabin" to Governor Horatio Sharpe,
who in 1889 sold it to Benjamin
Oglc, who sold to John Ridout of An
rapoliS, whose sons decided it in
1901 to John Sloan, whose heirs sold
it to the Blochcrs. It is now divide /
into several fine farms.

they will be disorganized" and

Gen. Almond said the North
Koreans have fought clever

basic error in overextending their
lines. The reason behind the er-
ror, he said, was that until about
two weeks ago they thought they
were winning the war"
Gen. Almond said 1--WE never
feared that we would lose Pusan, !"
main Allied supply port on the
southeast coast. The Southeast
ern defense perimeter could
always be shortened without CIV
ing up the port city, he said.
Gen. Almond gave this con-
densed review of the Red situa-
ton:
The Reds recently showed signs
of strain on the Southeastern
front. Their frontline units asked
repeatedly for reinforcements and
supplies. The death of the North
Korean chief of staff on the front
was big blow to the invaders.
So was the battering given the
North Korean 9th Division in the
September offensive west of
Yongsan when two regiments
were decimated and only one colo

vived.

taken more prisoners of war than

then, have heard nothing from

The futility indicated by such
conditions is discouraging but does
not justify an abandonment of
the principles that have governed
me in my administration of the
Act pursuant to your original in
structions.
However, you have now seen fit
to request my resignation forth

I feel that I must comply. How
ever, I cannot emphasize too
strongly that while have held
this Office my administration has
been one of honest and faithful
adherence to your instructions,
and loyalty to the act and to my
oath in all respects.
It is inconceivable that I could
consider engendering further pub
lie confusion by failing to comply
with your request. Therefore. be-
cause the law does not provide
for anyone to act with authority
in the event of a vacancy in the
Office of the general counsel. I
now tender to you my resignation
as general counsel of the National
Labor Relations Board, to become
effective at your convenience.
Respectfully,
r. N. DENHAM.
The Presidents Letter.
Dear Mr.. Denham:
I have received your letter of
September Is, 1850, rendering your
resignation as general counsel of
the National Labor Relations
Board.
The situation which has been
created in the relationships be-
tween the board and the general
counsel, as you indicate in your
letter, one that should not be al
lowed to exist in a governmental
agency occupying so important a
part in its influence on our in
dustrial economy
It is my view that this situation
is largely due to the fact that the
Taft Hartley Act itself creates an
administratively unavoidable ar
rangement, which invites confu-
sion and conflict between the gen.
eral counsel and the board. Never
theless, it is my duty, SO long as
this two-headed arrangement re-
mains in the law, to try to make 1t
work. I believe that the differ
ences which have arisen between
| the board and the general counsel
are so deep seated that there is
little prospect of restoring between
them the harmonious relationship
necessary to the effective adminis-
tration of their mingled RESPONSE
bility.
| Accordingly, I accept your resig-
nation, effective at the close Of
business on September 18, 1850.
I am grateful for the frankness
and spirit of fair play in which
it was offered.
I am also grateful for your de-
votion to duty and for the service
you have rendered N this difficult
post.
With best wishes for your future
endeavors.
Very sincerely yours,
Harry S. Truman.

The final decision was made
around July 25, and preparations
were begun Immediately to as

force.
1t. Gen. Walton H. Walker,
commander of the United States

project for a second front landing
when he took command in Korea.
The plan was disclosed to him
around July 20 during the first
visit of Gen. j. Lawton Collins.

Gen. Almond said the problem
was to prepare a landing which
would best cut major Red COM
munication lines - the objective
first outlined by Gen. Macarthur
who conceived the project.

Several plans were discarded,
including a proposed landing at

Pup Smokes, Drinks
And Grows to Good
Size at Aqe of 7
BY the Associated Press

VENICE. Calf, Sept. 16.-Smok-
ing does not stunt the growth-of
dogs.
Butch, a Dalmatian terrier, will
be a year old next month and
owner Bill Hill said today that he
weighs hulking As pounds.
That's a good weight even for
Dalmatians that don't smoke.
Butch has been smoking since he
was months old.
Mr.. Hill, a furniture store own
er, said he had to teach Butch to
smoke to break him of another
vice-chewing tobacco.
He said the pup had an annoy
ing habit of jumping on custom
ers and snatching away their Gig
arettes and cigars-and eating
them. fiery ash and all.
Mr.. Hill then bought an alumni
mum cigarette holder and taught
the dog to smoke like non-dog
smokers do. Butch averages about
six cigarettes a day and inhales.
The dog also likes beer, Mr.. Hill
said, and added he once got hold
OF bottle of wine and made a
sorry spectacle of himself"
