preliminary study for the cOnven-
tion site to report to the national
committee. This six member COM
mittee was appointed last January,
she pointed out, when it was known
that the only two cities interested
in obtaining the convention were
Philadelphia and Chicago.
philadelphia Not Represented
Despite this, Mrs. Tallman said,
Mrs. Bertha Bauer, Of the Illinois
delegation, was placed on the COM
mittee but Philadelphia was given
no representation. G. Mason Ow-
lett of the Pennsylvania delegation
was the logical choice to represent
his state on the committee, she
pointed out
Mrs. TalimSn said she would con-
tinue to serve as national commit
teewoman through the next con-
vention, after which she would ten
der her resignation. She added
however, mat she will continue to
take an active interest in the Re-
publican party in the state as well
as on the national level.
Only the third national commit
teewoman to represent the state
since women were first named to
the national organization in 1920,
Mrs. Tallman was first named to
the post in 1926 to fill the unex-
pired term of Mrs. Charles Warner.
The first national committeewoman
from the state was Mrs. William K.
dupont.
In addition to her political activi-
ties she has been associated with
number of other state activities
and has received a number of hon
Ors for her social service work in
the Delaware area.
Long a member of the State
Board of Health she was hOnOred
with a building named for her at
the Brandywine Sanatorium IN
recognition for her work with the
state board and the Delaware Anti
tuberculosis Society.
She has served as an officer in
the Delaware Safety Council, has
worked with the Delaware Chap

McKendrick Dismissed
By Highway Dept.
? Continued from nrst paasl


1t is reliably reported that Mr..
McKendriCk's dismissal was based
upon political reasons, Mr.. McKen-
drick being a Republican and the
last Of the top staf of the Highway
Department except for the Della
ware River crossing division who
were Republicans.
Mr.. Haber had no comment to
make about the dismissal of Mr..
McKendrick other than the fact
he will continue on the state pay
roll until the first week in August
because of accrued vacation.
1t is further understood in Dover
that an attempt was made to dis
miss Mr.. McKendrick last year but
he was kept on because Of the in
sistance of the late M. Allan Viii
son, chief engineer, that Mr.. Nc
Kendrick was needed in the High
way Department. Besides, it was
said, there was no one available
then to I'LL the vacancy.
However. now, with the vacancy
existing, it is expected that some
one within the Highway Depart
ment will be moved up to the post
of assistant chief engineer.
Among those mentioned are
Chauncey o. Simpson, head of the
design division: Ernest A. David
son, head of division of tests; OF
H. Fleming Hart, head of the right
of way division.
Mr. McKendrick, who lives il
Dover, went with the Highway De-
partment in 1886, right after his
graduation from the University d
Delaware.
1t was while he was with the
department that he attended Yale
| University for graduate work, hav
ing been awarded a fellowship BY
the AutomOtive Safety Foundation
financed by Alfred P. Sloan, Jr.
In 1910, he was made traffic en-
gineer and later. traffic and plan
ming engineer. From 1943 to 1914
he was acting superintendent of tn,
Delaware State Police and has beer
assistant chief engineer Of the de
partment since 1943.

FAIRNEsS IN TAXATION

Fairness in Che tax program is important
not only because fairness is valuable for it's
own sake, but also because national unity is
essential and will be strengthened by gen
eral feeling that the tax burden is fairly dis
tributed
This means several things, not entirely
consistent 1t means that the taxes should
be fair, in an objective" sense, and also that
they should correspond to the community's
generally held ideas of fairness.
1t means that taxes should recognize diff
ferences in ability to pay and that those with
more ability should pay more; it also means
that taxes should recognize the right of an
individual to have his earnings substantially
reflected in his income after tax.
1t means that the tax system should
avoid arbitrary discrimination among per-
sons, lines of activity or forms of business
organization.

to reach the crestline of X-Ray

action in Korea.
Privates Bobby o Rose of

Although the mountain was
only defended by a reinforced
company Of Communist troops,
the objective ended in one of the
toughest, four day missions of the
war. On the fourth and final day
of battle, both Logan and Rose
volunteered to scale the pencil
straight mountainsides to recon-
hotter Red emplacements along
the crestline.
For several hours the two cav
alrymen inched their way toward
the enemy gun emplacements
along the razor-edged hilltop. ra-
accommodating back their
finds throughout the upward jour
ney. After reaching the hills
crest, the two scouts called back
for their company to advance.
The hill was taken late in the af-
ternoon. The unit counted q Chi

Both men were commended by

SUBSCRIPTION RATES


The cattle growers are saying
that beet will disappear from the
markets if the OPS holds to its
plan to roll back the prices of
cattle and beef products. That
threat they probably will carry
out. Meat, you will remember,
could not be found in legitimate
markets during the waning days
of the OPA back in l946.
All right, you say, the cattle
growers have a right to protect
their profits. They have right to
strike against the government,
even though that strike will bring
to life again a criminal black
market.
:. Y y
The big newspapers will tell
about it on their front pages.
They will, however, not condemn
it on their editorial pages. A
strike isn't a strike, you know, I'm
less it is carried on by a labor
union. A striker isn't a public
enemy, you know, unless he is a
member Of "a labor union.

SOCIAL SECURITY
QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
By DAVID M. SWIFT

What does person have to do
to come into this SYSTEM"
He must work in job that
comes under the law; that is, in a
factory, mill, shop, mine, store,
filling station, cafe, hotel, theater,
laundry, Or some other business
or industry, and he must get a
social security account number
card to make certain that his
wages are properly credited. At
ter. the worker obtains an account
number, the Social Security AID
ministration sets up an individual
account for him. Every time his
employer reports a certain
amount of wage earnings for
him, those wages are credited to
the workers social security ac-
count. Later on, when the time
comes for the payment of bene-
fits, this account will be used as
the basis upon which the insur-
ance payments are calculated.

Moy the City Silence
Ambulance Sirens - To
Keep the Streets Quieter?

AS part of an anti-noise cam
paign, a certain city forbade the
use Of sirens by private ambulance
companies. Soon afterward, an
ambulance driver was arrested aft
er completing an emergency CALI
because he had used the siren. The
man commended that the new law
was unconstitutional, because am.
balances had to have sirens for
use In case OF emergency. But the
court held the law valid and found
the driver guilty. The judge said
that the city had a right to ban
"the loud. piercing. shrill. scream-
ing, unearthly shrek of the siren"
To the ambulance companies. His

II q Child FulIs From q Park
Swing, 10 the City LiobIe?

A boy was sitting on q swing in
a public park, when two of his
schoolmates walked up. Selling
tho swing on each end, they began
playfully twisting 1t from side to
side. Suddenly the boy, becoming
dizzy from this rocking motion.
fell to the ground. He suffered a
knee injury. and later sued the
city for damages. His lawyer con-
tended: 1.-THE city invites children
to come and play in this park. so
it's up to the city to provide enough
supervision to prevent accidents"
But the court rejected the boys
claim, because the mishap had oc-
CURED SO suddenly and SO unex-
pectedly. The judge said 1t was
impossible to have q special super
visor at every swing-and nothing
less would have prevented this
kind of accident.
