Kensington Votes TO Employ
Five Paid Firefighters

The Kensington Volunteer Fire
Company, one of those in Mont
gomery County that would be af-
fected by the proposed establish
ment of a paid department in
suburban areas, has already voted
to employe five paid firemen.
The action was taken at a
meeting early this week. Mem
bers said they acted to assure
the presence of fire fighters at
all times and thus reduce the
danger of property loss and in
jury.
The Kensington company said
the five firemen could be paid
from revenues raised through the
present tax. There are IS VOL
unteers in the company.
The proposal for a paid sub
urban department drew opposition
a few days ago from the Mont
gomery County Volunteer Fire
mems Association. The position
was made known after Fire Mar
shall Charles Howe outlined a
suggestion for county operation
and uniform tax rates in all dis
tricts. The special fire taxes now
vary in amounts. Some OF the
volunteer departments have paid
fire fighters but others do not

New Maryland
Constitution
Assures Support
To Group Proposing
Change in Basic Law
By the Associoted Press

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 20.-Worriec
boosters of a convention to re-
write Maryland's constitution have
been reassured of Gov. Nickel
din's support.
He is firmly on their side, the
Governor said yesterday.
1--WE are pledged to it in oul
platform" the Governor declared
eve have to be for it,"
He had taken up the convention
proposal earlier in the day with
House Minority Leader Anders R
Lofstrand, jr., Republican, OF
Montgomery County, and he ad-
mitted some concern over reports
that opposition was developing
among Western Maryland legisla-
tors. Considerable Republican
strength is in that part of the
State. Senate Majority Leader
Louis l.. Goldstein, Democrat, OF
Calvert County also has been an
outspoken foe.
Baltimore Strength Feared.
Much of the opposition stems
from fear that convention might
revise the system of representa-
tion to increase Baltimore's voice
in the General Assembly at the
expense of the smaller counties.
Voters approved Overwhelming
ly convention call last Novem-
ber. The margin was some 100000
to $4,000. A referendum on the
question must be held every 20
years, but the Legislature has the
final word. 1t must pass a measure
setting up the convention, other
wise the matter rests for another
two decades. Maryland's present
constitution was written in 1867.
Meanwhile, the House passed
and sent to the Governor a Senate
bill requiring statement in bold
print in all installment contracts
for automobile purchases setting
forth exactly what type insurance
is PROVIDED.
First 81 Bill to Pass.
1t was the first legislation to
clear the 1851 General Assembly
and the first MI. McKeldon will
have to act on as Governor.
Among bills introduced in the
House was one by Delegate Perry
D. Wilkinson, Democrat, of Prince
Georges County to exempt candy
from the 2 per cent sales tax. Mr..
Wilkinson estimated his proposal
would cost the State $4,000 in
tax receipts.
Delegate John F. McNulty,
Democrat, of Anne Arundel
County submitted legislation to
set up separate three-man COM
mission to regulate both fiat and
harness competition at tracks
where betting is allowed.

Sanitary Commission
Asks Appeals Court 10
Back IFS Authority
BY the Assoeioted Press

ANNAPOLIS. Jan. 20. - The
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission has asked the Court
of Appeals to rule that it's author
ity to make water and sewer con-
InectionS is valid.
Prince Georges County plumb
ers had charged the setting-up OF
the commission by the short-term
session of the General Assembly
last year could not be termed an
"acute emergency" OF lin the gen.
eral public welfare" Therefore,
they contended, the bill forming
the commission was illegal and
void.
The Prince Georges County Cir
cult Court upheld the plumbers.
Lawyers for the sanitary COM
mission declared yesterday that
should the Circuit Court decree be
upheld by the appellate court:
1T would nullify for all prac-
tical purposes the constitutional
amendment and subject every act
passed by the even-year (30-day)
sessions of the Legislature to the
scrutiny of the courts before they
can become practically effective. u
The act directed the sanitary
commission to make all sewer ano
water connections from its lines
to private users. Connections hao
been made by private plumbers
under 1948 act. Before this, they
had been made by the commission
for more than 80 years.
The plumbers contended the
commission had built up a 81 mil
lion deficit during this 30-year pc
riod and therefore should not BIT
trusted with the job.
In ruling for the plumbers in
Circuit Court, Judge Charles c.
Marbury declared there certainly
was no acute emergency and
noted the commission had so ad-
mitted.

fishers and editors during the day
| An optimistic view Of the
Korean situation was presented
here last night by Relman NORM

pondent, who returned from

"As long as we have people o1

in Korea, equipped with the
proper weapons, we have nothing
to worry about" Mr.. Norm said

1 but they do not break.
"You are safe with line OF
doughboys out in front of you"
/ The correspondent said Ameri-
can troops ''were not pushed back
by superior anything-just num-
bers."
Finding an attitude of despair
over Korea at home astonished
and shocked Mr.. NORM. The
campaign in Korea, he said. was
not total loss since it taught the
Army much about the use OF
weapons and clarified the politi-
cal situation.
Mr.. NORM said he disagreed
with the correspondent who sale
American Army intelligence failee
to estimate the size of the Chinese
force near the Yalu River.
| Suppose they (the United Ma.
tions commanders had known
that 350.000 or more Chinese were
there?" he asked. IF you hae
been a commander what would
you have done? Wait for them tx
attack? I think I would have
attacked because it was the only
way to determine the size of the
force and the intentions of the
Chinese government"

ing pervades nature.
It is responsible for dogwood
and red buds of spring woods and
the roses of summer gardens. It
acts somewhat after the fashion
of one Of the viruses which cause
some of the most mysterious hui
man and animal diseases.
This was reported before the
National Academy of Sciences here
today by DR.. James Bonner of the
California Institute of Technology.
1t has been impossible to date to
Isolate any of the substance. It's
existence is shown, however, by
the fact that plants rendered
lphysiolo logically incapable of bloom
ing can be made to bloom by
grating them on normal plants.
Something flows from one to the
other. This process can be con-
tinued indefinitely.
DR.. Bonner has been working
with the phenomenon of photo
Iperiodisrn. This discovery by Ag-
Iriculture Department botanists
was one of the major scientific
developments of two decades ago.
The ability of plants to flower de-
Ipends on the length of the periods
Iof light and darkness to which
they are exposed.
Some Are Indifferent.
Some require long days and
short nights. others short days and
long nights. Others seem to be
Indifferent. Very little. effort to
explain this phenomenon has been
made. DR.. Bonner has been try
ing to analyze it.
Eventual possibility of predict
ing in advance how the Supreme
Court will decide on a specific case
by cold-blooded mathematical
analysis was described by DR.. L.
L. ThurStone Of the University of
Chicago.
DR.. Thurstone is a psychologist
whose major work for the last 20
years has been mathematical
analysis of the factors constitut-
ling human intelligence. He applied
much the same technique to his
Supreme Court analysis and be-
lieves that acts of Congress could
be forecast in the same way-al-
though with so many members the
mathematics involved might be-
come impossibly complicated.
DR.. Thurstone based his study
on the decisions of the justices in
lis cases on which the bench dis
agreed between 1943 and 1945. He
found from his analysis. he said,
that three factors-expressed only
as mathematical symbols-were
influencing the opinions.
Strong and Weak Factors.
The first factor was strong In
the makeupS of Justices Black and
Douglas and weak in Justices
Frankfurter and Roberts. The Sec
Iond was strong in Justices Reed
and Stone and weak in Justices
Murphy and Rutledge. The third
was strong in Justices jackson and
Frankfurter and weak in Justices
Murphy and Rutledge. The fact
that the same two men were weak
Jest in two factors does not indi-
Icate any relationship between
them.
These factors at present are
Iundefinable attitudes which un-
der lie thinking. They are just
letters to be used in mathematical
Equations and DR.. Thurstone re-
fused to amplify further. Even
Itually, he said, they might be
PINNED down by intensive analysis
of the cases. They might be such
Qualities as philosophical liberal
ism, innate conservatism, racial
likes and dislikes, background of
riches or poverty, etc.
Thus Factor A might turn out
to be a basic philosophy Of lib
