Insurance Contracts
in County Defended
BY Commissioners

Awarding of a Prince Georges
County insurance contract to one
company for $1,000 when another
had bid $4,000 has been defended
as good business" by the three
commissioners whose votes decided
the matter.
Under fire by the Prince Georges
Civic Federation, Commissioners
H Wilson Spicknall, Edward J.
Ned" Waters and w. Everett
Marion said the county is better
protected by stock company pol
icies, even though a mutual COM
Ipany policy. as in the case last
week. would be $4,000 cheaper.
The commissioners awarded the
disputed contract for coverage of
county vechicles to Arthur Keir of
|Hyattsville, agent for a stock in
Isurance company, and rejected the
bid of James E. Daisey of Glenn
Dale, who represents a mutual
type company.
Statement Promised.
The civic federation, in a letter
read to the commissioners at yes
terday's meeting in Hyattsville,
called on the board to justify its
act in a statement to the press.
The commissioners said they would
make such a statement next week.
The position Of Commissioners
Waters, Spicknall and Marion, as
expressed in comments to reporters
and in board discussion. seemed
to be something like this:
Stock company insurance poll
cies are good business because
their rates are set by the National
Insurance Underwriters Bureau
and are based on service ratings
and experience studies. teus min
imizing chances Of defaulting on
"a claim. Mutual companies are not
members of the official rate max
ing bureau and therefore cannot
guarantee that their premiums
will remain stable.
The two commissioners who
voted against awarding the con-
tract to Mr.. Keir-Board Presi-
dent Thomas E. Latimer and
Daniel A. Abbott-had little to
say on the matter at yesterdays
meeting.
Points to Bus Coverage.
Mr.. Abbott did point out, as
stated in the civic federation letter.
that the county board of education
has all its buses ana trucks covered
by mutual type insurance.
Support for the principle of
awarding county insurance con-
tracts to stock companies, even
il the premiums are higher, came
from Gordon Louk. 4701 An
napolis road, Bladensburg, a mem
ber of the Commissioners In
surance Advisory Committee.

Arlington Asks
Milk Monopoly
by U. 5.
Board Pushes Fight
For Agriculture
Department Control

An Agriculture Department in.
vestigation into the "monopolis-
tic practices" of the Maryland
and Virginia Milk Producers AS
sociation was asked today by the
Arlington County Board.
The action was taken on recon-
Imendation of the County's Public
Utilities Commissioner and NAL
colin D. Miller, attorney retained
by the board In number of util-
|ity matters.
Also on their recommendation
the board voted to continue its
case against State regulation of
milk subject to interstate COM
|merce. ...
Hearing Called Tuesday.
MIR. Miller was instructed to ap-
pear at a hearing of the Virginia
Milk Commission in Alexandria
Tuesday to support the Arling-
ton. boards contention that the
milk commission has no jurisdic-
ton over milk coming into Arling-
ton through the channels of in
terstate commerce.
The interstate commerce issue
was raised by the Arlington board
in a suit filed with the Richmond
Circuit Court contesting a price
order OF the milk commission.
The court upheld the price order
but withheld decision on the in
terstate commerce angle until fur
ther testimony is taken on that
point.
U. S. Control Ultimate Aim.
The same day that the court
remanded the interstate COM
merce question for further evi-
dence. according to Mr.. Miller,
the Maryland-Virginia Milk Pro-
ducers Association announced an
increase in the wholesale price of
milk.
Mr.. Miller said the ultimate aim
OF the Arlington County Board
should be Department of Agricul-
ture control of milk in this area.
He said if the court decides the
Virginia Milk Commission does
not have control over interstate
commerce. it is likely the pro-
ducers themselves will ask for De-
partment of Agriculture control,

the Senate" Mr.. Mccarthy KEEP
repeating.
The Senator was asked what h,
Thought of Gen. Macarthur, ane
replied he considered him 9Th,
greatest or one of the greatest liv'
ing Americans"
Mr.. Roberts then asked if, il
1948. the Senator had opposed tn,
General when his name wa
brought up as a candidate for thu
Presidential nomination. He wa,
asked if he informed the voters
that the General was too old fol
the job and brought UP the fac
that he had ben divorced from hi

was no longer employed by the
newspaper when he hired him.
Did Mr.. Waters prepare for
you an elaborate memorandum
and drafts of speechs bearing

muniSts into the Government"
The Senator replied Mr.. War
ters probably did some research
along this line but he could not
recall such a production.
Mr.. Waters is now in public
relations work in Washington
Senator Mccarthy was asked
il he knew of the relationship
between the Times-Hearld, the
Chicago Tribune and the Mutual

it only in a general way. Mr..

H. US.Pys Tribute Today to 500 900 Newspaper Boys
Today is National Newspaper.

Today is National Newspaper
boy Day.
It's the one day in the year
when the entire newspaper in
dustry pays tribute to the 500.-
600 boys who contribute so
much to the record breaking
circulation of United States and
Canadian newspapers.
About 80 per cent of the
more than 52-million news
papers read every day by the
American public are delivered or
sold by newsboys. It takes about
$4,000 reporters. editors, printers
and others to produce the
Nations newspapers, but 1t
takes the 100000 boys to deliver
the finished product to the
reader.
Besides acquiring business ex-
'perience and performing a serv-
ice to the community, the news
boy also is learning lessons that
will be of benefit to him all his
life, indulging in the principles
of free enterprise in his youth,
and knowing how to use the
money he saves in providing
for a college education, cloth
ing, entertainment, books and
movies.
Typical of boys who have
made good this way is Dwight
E. Avis. jr.. Is, of 1926 Locust
road NV. the son of the as
sistant deputy commissioner of
Internal Revenue and Mrs. Avis.
Star Carrier of Year.
Dwight has been named THE
Star Carrier of the Year" for his
outstanding service in delivering
this newspaper for the past
seven years on the Kalmia road
NV. route in the Shepherd
Park area.
Already he has saved about
$1,500 from his route. which has
about IS customers. He has
earned more than that but has
bought a bicycle and has given
his mother several presents.
Dwight has been presented
an original cartoon of recogni-
ton by Jim Bergman. The
Stars Pulitzer Prize cartoonist.
1t is signed by him and E. j.
De Wore, circulation director of
The Star. and conveys the
thanks of the public and the
newspaper for a good delivery
job over the years.
Dwight said he probably will
use the money he has saved
toward his college education.
He has this to say to prospec-
tive newsboys: 1T gives you
something to do after school.

GOU. CGrUeL Names
Three Justices
For High Court
CONTINUED from arst page,

The new court was authorized by
Constitutional amendment which
became law on May 8. However.
the General Assembly has not yet
enacted two companion bills to set
the salary schedule of the judges,
and provide appropriations.
Both measures have been passed
by the Senate and sent to the House.
One provides that the annual sal
ary of the chief justice will be $17,-
500 and Of the associate justices
$4,000 each.
The other measure would empoW-
er the court to make its own rules,
to obtain such office space as is re-
quired by each of the justices, and
to appoint a court reporter and
/ secretaries. It would provide funds
/ for purchase of office furniture and
equipment, and funds for operating
expenses.
ChanCeTy Appointments
When the three Supreme Court
appointments are confirmed, it is
! expected that the Governor will
name Vice Chancellor Collins ]
Seitz as chancellor and Henry ]
Ridgely of Camden as vice chan
cellor.
The Governor has not announced
who he will name to the other posts
He said, however. that he is plan
ming to name Kent County Re
publican to the Court of Chancery
The choice is rather narrow il
that there are few Kent Count
Republican attorneys. Observer
considered Mr.. Ridgely, who il
deputy attorney general for Ken
County, the most likely selection.
Two other possibilities are Mayo
William J. Storey of Dover, an,
George M. Fisher, another Dove
attorney.
The new Supreme Court is ex
pected to sit at Dover. However
the members are expected to hav,
OFFICES elsewhere. at points NOR
convenient for them. Where thes
OFFICES will be is not yet clear.
In announcing the appointments
! Governor Carvel said:
"I feel very enthusiastic abou
the fact that three of our outstand
ing citizens at the bar would ac
cept the most important appoint
ments to the Supreme Court of ou
state. Such acceptance assures tn,
success of the Supreme Court from
its beginning. and assures to tn
people of the State of Delawar
one of the outstanding Suprem
Courts in the nation.
Il feel that I can express fO
every citizens of our state our graf
itude to these three men for thei
willingness to accent these import
ant posts. know that their accep
tances involves for each one an un
usual financial sacrifice, but tina
their unselfish desires to serve tn
people of Delaware transcends al
other considerations. / am indae
happy to announce these appoint
ments"
Each Of the apnOintees. if con
firmed, will serve for term of /
years.
