In Denver it was reported that
the reappOrtiOnment of delegates
gave California IA additional votes
In the 1890 to be represented in
the nominating convention the week
Of July 21.
Other states with gains included
Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Ohio, Wis
consin and Wyoming, four each, and
Texas, Virginia and Washington
two each.
Alabama, Connecticut, Louisiana.
Mississippi, New Hampshire, New
York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and
South Carolina each lost four dele
gates, and Michigan lost two votes.
The 1920 total was four less
than that represented in the 1948
convention when Mr.. Truman was
nominated
The shift in voting power cut
into the big state hold on the party
convention, as represented by New
York and Pennsylvania; Califor-
MIA moved above Illinois, which
stood stationary at 60 votes.
AS an indication that the Demo-
Gratis are willing to go all-out in
support of President Truman's pro-
gram for fighting a limited war in
Korea, William M. Boyle, Jr., the
national chairman, challenged Re-

Question OF Speed Is
Fully Discussed

4 pended upon to have complete con.
troll Of his car.
Actually" Mr.. Reeder said. "'too
fast may be any speed from Ia
miles an hour to 100 miles an hour.
We can't just arbitrarily say that
80, 20, go or so miles an hour is too
fast and let it go at that. There
are times and places, for instance.
when 80 miles an hour may not be
an excessive speed at ala SUPER
Vised race course, for example.
Even more often than this. how
ever, there are times and places
when 20 miles an hour may be
literally-fatal!"
Mr.. Reeder's Interpretation of the
problem was based on the theory
that weather, road surfaces, me-
chanical factors and the drivers
physical and mental condition are
the real determining factors in the
problem of what is a safe speed
and what speed is dangerous.
Posted speed limits" he said.
"give only the top speed at which
enforcement and engineering Off
cials feel travel is safe under ideal
weather, physical and mechanical
conditions. Anything less than that
calls for a prOportionate reduction
of speed"
Mr.. Reeder's discussion of speed
cOincided with the Delaware Safety
Councils announcement of its
June program of traffic safety edu-
cation, which has as it's slogan:
Speed Kills-Take 1t Easy!" The
program is being sponsored in CO.
operation with the National Safety
Council.
Year in and year out" Mr..
Reeder said, "about 5000 traffic ac-
cidents in which at least one per-
son is killed involve a speed viola
tiOn of some sort. This is the price
that drivers can expect to pay if
they forget, or ignore, the fact that
dangerous speed is any speed
when weather or other conditions
are such as to cancel out an appre-
ciable part of the drivers skill"

South Korea Marines Land
On Third Isle OFF Wonson
By the Associoted Press

South Korean marines landed
yesterday on third island off the
Korean east coast port of Wonsan,
the Navy announced here today.
Two other islands previously had
been occupied.
The newest landing on Sindo
Island, following IL days of con-
tinuous bombardment by Ameri-
can warships, was made without
opposition from ground forces.
Communist shore batteries fired at
the United States bombardment
force without scoring any hits, the
Navy said.
Navy and Air Force spokesmen
told reporters at Pentagon brief
ing that the Communists in re-
cent days have shifted their re-
inforcing efforts from the Western
to the Eastern areas of Korea.
The Navy said the air and sea
bombardment of the east coast
roads has been so severe that the
Reds have been forced to use sec
ondary roads some miles inland. A
spokesman also said intelligence
reports received from spoilers on
shore confirmed that one Chinese
Red battalion in the Wonsan area
had been wiped out by United
States naval bombardment.

Six miles to the West, two

German Communists
Accused Of Smuggling
BY the Assoeiaied Press

BONN, Germany, Feb. 60
Western officials say Germany's
Communists are operating an east
lowest smuggling traffic in lille
gal goods to pay for party activi-
ties in West Germany and to
finance outlawed exports to the
Russian zone.
These sources said large guam
titles of contraband nylons, cam
eras, ceramics and other con-
sumer goods were being slipped
through to be sold for high prices
in the west.
Proceeds go to the West Ger
man Communist Party, which has
an elaborate espionage network
and also maintains Communist
agents as sabotage experts, the
officials continued.
Funds from the traffic report
edly also are being used foI
"heavy" purchases for smuggling
to the east of such war potential
items as oil field piping, Diese.
engines and power plant equip
ment. Allied officials have banned
export to the east of these and

ever, some units, such as artiller,

Gen. Bradley said the com.

heavily on the draft. Currently
Army draft calls are running at
10000 a month.
The Navy, Air Force and Marine
Corps have opposed any move that
would abolish volunteering and
have the services depend solely on
Selective Service. The Navy's ar
gument is that after extensive
basic and technical training neces-
sary for its personnel, very little
Of the inductees' 81 months OF
service would remain and that the
chances were that few men who
had been drafted would sign UP
for another hitch. The sea arm
has had no difficulty filling its
needs with volunteers, who enlist
for four-year periods. And q ma
jority of those whose enlistments
have been expiring have been re.
enlisting-for six-year periods.
Draftees for Air Force.
One of the charts presented by
the Defense Department at Senate
manpower hearings showed that
the Air Force intended to take ir
10000 draftees, but officials are
reluctant to discuss this POSSIBILITY ;
now. One reason might be that
the Air Force would find it difficult
to justify drafting men in the face
of overcrowding at Lakeland.
A sudden phenomenal rise in the
number of Air Force volunteer,
after the Christmas holidays
from around 1000 daily to 5000 o.
1000 a day-brought about the
Lakeland situation. The increase
was not noted at the Pentagon un-
til after the big training base wa:
so crowded that training was vir.
tually abandoned and despite re.
peated calls for a shut off by
Lakeland officials.
The Air Force is expected tt
have an announcement this weel

tain that the situation at Lakeland
does not occur again. Officials
have been studying the recommen.
dations of the investigating Sena.

Macarthur Reports
Rise in Air Attacks
From Manchuria
BY The Assoeioied Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, Feb.
26.-Gen. Macarthur charged to-
day that Communist planes from
the privileged sanctuary" of
Manchuria have increased their
activity against United Nations
aircraft.
Numerous battles involving up
to go planes at a time have been
fought just south of the Man
churian border, he said in his 14th
report to the United Nations.
Although the general said that
as many as IS aircraft have been
observed at one time on the
ground at the Red base, Amtung
airfield, just north Of the Yalu
River, he did not ask for permis-
sion to bomb it.
Pressure Against Action.
There has been tremendous dip
lomatic pressure here against any
U. N. action which might extend
the war into China proper.
THE superiority of United Ma
tions planes, tactics and pilots
over those of the enemy has been
repeatedly proven in these en-
counters and the number of hostile
aircraft destroyed mounts slowly
but steadily" Gen. Macarthur
said.
He said there are few indica-
tions of enemy intentions to use
airfields in Korea.
The report covered the period
from January 16 to 81.
Single Plane Attacks Reds.
The supreme commander said
the Reds have increased the num-
ber of single plane attacks on
U. N. ground forces, but claimed
they have inflicted only negligible
damage. He did not specifically
identify the senemy planes as
North Korean or Chinese.
Many previous Macarthur re-
ports have been debated in the
Security Council or the political
committee of the General Assem-
bly,. There is as yet no summons
for a meeting to discuss this one,
Meanwhile, Communist China
has made no reply to Korean
peace feelers from the United Ma
tions.
No Response Made.
Nasrollah Entezam of Iran,
president of the General Assem-
bly, and chairman of the three
man Good Offices Committee. said
yesterday the Red regime has not
responded to overtures made last
week through Swedish diplomatic
channels in Stockholm and Fei-
ping.
: These were largely exploratory
in nature and intended to discover
whether Peiping considered the
door closed to peace talks or would
be willing to look for some basis
for negotiations.

I found this in a very old copy

Bartlett's Quotations. The above
was listed in the Family Edition
under "Graces Before Meat" Be-
low is another verse so listed,
which I think truly sincere and
lovely:
'Oh Thou. in whom we live ane move,
Who mad'st the sea and shore;
Thy goodness constantly we prove,
And grateful would adore.
And II 1t please Thee. Power above,
Still grant US, with such store,
