suggestion. The poll, if under
taken, would require about a
week, he said.
The plan adopted by Senator
Douglas is unprecedented. Usu-
ally Senators whose recommends
tions for judgeship appointments
have been ignored by the chief
executive have gone to the mat
and opposed confirmation.
In his statement today, Senator
Douglas said that "in accordance
with a time honored practice" ne
had recommended last January 26
to the attorney general that Will
liam H. King, jr., and Judge
Benjamin P. Epstein be appointed
to fill the two vacant positions
in the Federal District Court of
Illinois. He added that Mr.. King
and Judge Epstein were investi-
gated by the Justice Department
and that the department then
joined in making the recon-
mendations to the President.
Says Truman Surprised Him.
"The nominations then lay on
the Presidents desk for some
months" said Senator Douglas.
During this time. in the hope
and belief that they were being
given every consideration, I scru-
|pulously refrained from making
any inquiries about them, al.
though I would, of course, have
been glad to discuss the matter
had I been asked to do So"
He said that without any priol
notice to him, the President OF
July 13 sent to the Senate thu
names of Judge Cornelius j. Har.
rington and Municipal Judge Jo
seph Drucker.
The issue is therefore, SQUARED,
presented as to what I should do,
said Senator Douglas. "Histori
cally, the consent of the Senate
concerned has generally been re
garded as necessary for the con
flrmation of District Judges, ant
an objection on his part has com
monty been treated as sufficien
ground for refusing such confir
nation. I do not know whethe
or not this is the best way O
handling appointments to tn,
Federal bench, but it has beer
constantly observed by both par
ties until now. Failure on tn,
part of the Senator in question t,
protest is generally treated a.
acquiescence in the choices made.
Dignity" Is Not Involved.
Senator Douglas said he wantet
to make it clear that he was in
terested in getting the best posi-
BILE judges and that he was not in
terested "in defending my dignit,
as a Senator nor in asserting m.
power"
Il have no desire to become en-,
gagged in a struggle with the Presi
dent, for whom have the kindli
est feelings, and who is bearing ,
heavy load" said Senator Douglas
IT do not want to make any re
Election of either Judge Harring
ton or Judge Drucker. I thin
they are worthy men. But m,
choices were made after full
weighing of all alternatives and
regard Mr.. King and Judge ED
stein as men of superior qualifica
tions."
1t is apparent from Senate
Douglas statement that whethe
, there is to be a fight in the Sen
ate against the Presidents ar
pointees will largely depend O

yers in Chicago and Cook Count,

Modern MARRIAGE
Girls, if You Want to Morry
Make Yourself MorrioqeobIe
By DR.. Paul Popenoe

Maybe that young man of your
dreams is living next door to you
right now. Josephine.
You think if you could travel
around the country you would be
sure to find a husband. You write,
l"I could take a trip to some OF
the national parks and famous
resorts this summer by a good deal
lof financial sacrifice. Wouldn't
lit be worth 1t, If I found q good
lhusband?"
OF course, the answer is yes.
Josephine; but before you buy
your tickets. let me remind you OF
an object lesson that has been
provided for you by a national
radio show. For several years
this show has each summer picked
out young woman who wanted TO
marry and sent her around the
|country-well advertised!-to look
for q husband. I'm each case she
found one. How?
One of them was sent to a
convention in Denver. The news
papers printed her photograph and
announced that she was looking
for a husband. She felt sure she
would find a husband among the
5000 men attending this conven-
Uion. The home town papers pub
lished the story, too. A boy whom
she had known for several years,
to whom she was not engaged,
Jumped in his automobile and
headed for Denver. He took her
home to become his wife and the
S, 900 delegates to the convention
had nothing more to do than to
wave goodbye to her at the rail-
way station!
Another summer they picked
out young woman to send to
selected beach and mountain
resorts. Wherever she went, the
Evening star., 1951-04-16

newspapers announced that she
had arrived in search of a hus-
band. The boy who lived next
door to her back home read the
papers, too. He decided to 20
into action. Hold everything.
he telegraphed her. She went
home and married him.
Do you see the point, Josephine?
You don't have to tour the country
with a brass band in order to find
"a husband. There is probably q
man you already know, right here
at home, who wants to marry you
If you can attract his attention.
There's the IF on which so
many girls are snagged. They
meet men, but don't know what
to do when they meet them.
OF course, a girl who wants to
marry will have to meet some
marriageable men. But there are
few girls who haven't met at least
one such man. The trouble is
often In themselves-in their own
lack Of personality. of under
standing men, of knowing how to
play their cards. If you want to
marry, start with yourself and
make yourself marriageable.

Farm Bureau as service to h e
farmers of Madison county.
The Highway Patrol, in a state
ment to farmers. pointed out that
today the unrestricted size of farm
machinery and equipment to be
moved on the highway emphasizes
the need for strict adherence TO
the provisions of the uniform traf-
fic act of the General Code of
Ohio which is required by law
of all operators of such equip
ment.
The operators must m a n
aware at all times of the neces-
sity of interfering as little as pos
sible with other traffic. This will
require restricting all such move
ments to minimum especially on
Saturdays. Sundays and legal
holidays or at any other time
when traffic is unusually heavy.
The movement of oversize farm
machinery and equipment on the
highways between the hours of
sundown and sunrise will con-
stitute serious traffic hazard,
which should not be allowed TO
occur, the Patrol warned.

Urges Farmers To
Use Flushing Bar

The height of the Ohio moving
season has arrived and, as usual
will bring with it the annual
Death on the Cutter-ba scene
for an untold number of Ohio S
young game.
Each year thousands of game
birds and animals are killed by
the mowers, and without the use
of every available caution. the
story will be repeated this season.
With this in mind, Charles Dam
bach, Wildlife Division chief has
urged farmers to use the highly
recommended Flushing Bars on
their mowers as extensively as
possible in an effort to avoid a
large loss.
The Flushing Bars, of which the
Wildlife Division has distributed
over 275, are very simple and
easily improvised if none are
available in the area The Bar
consists of a wooden or steel bar
which can be secured on the front
Of the tractor, extending at least
the length of the cutter bar and
as far in front of it as the con-
formity of the tractor viii allow.
From this bar number of OBJ
jects may be strung, about six
inches apart, which will touch the
ground. Suggested material in
cludes rope with metal weights
placed on the ground end. Or
sacks with a clod of dirt will do
the trick.
The Bar will flush most of the
game from the immediate area
endangered by the cutter bar and
will save countless numbers OF
game.
Extensive studies are being made
by the game management section
on the success of the Flushing
Bar and are being carried out CO.
operatively with several rural
groups.
