HyattsviIIe Democrats
Seek Closer State Link

Prince Georges County Demo-
Gratis are planning a closer liaison
with the county's Democratic
State Central Committee.
The Central Committee has
been asked by several groups, in
cluding those at Lanham and
Hyattsville, to call a meeting to
discuss plans.
In a resolution adopted by the
Hyattsville District Democratic
Club, it is recommended that the
central committee consider forma-
ton of a county federation of
Democratic clubs. The federation
would serve as a liaison between
the county and district clubs and
the central committee.

Judge WhiH|e Seems
Sure Of Appointments
Virginia High Court
by the Associoted Press

RICHMOND, Va, Mar. 12.-The
way appeared clear today for a
quick appointment of Judge Ken
non c. Whittle of Martinsville to
the Virginia Supreme Court of Ap-
peals.
Judge Whittle's nomination ap-
peared certain following the per-
sonal elimination of Attorney Cen
eral J. Lindsay Almond, jr., and
Frank S. Tavenner. jr., of Wood
stock, counsel for the House Com
mittee on Un-American Activities.
II am not, and have not been,
an aspirant for appointment to
the vacancy on the Supreme Court
Of Appeals" Mr.. Almond said yes
terday. II have every confidence
that the Governor will make an
excellent appointment"
Assembly Supports Whittle.
Mr.. Tavenner said late Satur-
day night that he was not in a
position to accept the appoint
ment even should it be offered to
him.
After these statements, it ap-
peared likely Gov. Battle early
this week would name a successor
to Justice Herbert B. Gregory of
Roanoke, who died last week.
Judge Whittle, of the Seventh
Judicial Circuit, had the support
of a majority Of sVirginia's Gen.
eral Assembly last month when
Justice Lemuel F. Smith of Char
lottesville was named to fill a
vacancy caused by the retirement
Of Justice Abram P. Staples.
Conceded Second Choice.
He generally was conceded to
have been the second choice to
Judge Smith at that time-and
the elimination of Mr.. Almond
and Mr.. Tavenner apparently has
placed him in line for a seat on
the high court.
Because delegations were heard
only last month regarding most
of the likely successors for any
vacay1cy on the coIIrt observers
predicted the Governor would
waste little time in selecting a
man to take Justice Gregory's
place.

Bills
Pi|eUp With 81
Session Endinq
Budget. Teacher Pay
And Bond Measures
Face 3-Week Rush
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS. Mar. 12. With
just three more weeks of it's life
remaining, the 1851 General AS
sembly still has most of its top
priority legislation on the unfin-
ished business list.
Bills by the hundreds were
acted on in the first 10 weeks Of
the 90-day session, but only two
were of explosive enough content
to bring about hard fights.
Before the April 2 adjournment
deadline, the Legislature will dis
pose of such matters as:
/. Gov. McKeldin's $3.50 million
budget bill, which will be increased
by S. million or more when it's
supplement is submitted this week.
Bond Measure Included.
2. The awaited construction
bond measure, which is expected
to call for the borrowing of be-
tween SIS million and $40 million
to finance State building projects.
3. Whether to accede to insist
ent demands by school officials
for pay raises for all teachers. To
pay the $500 across the board they
want would cost the State about
$7,300,000 year.
State fiscal experts said this
would be hard to do without rails
ing taxes-and Gov. McKeldin
has voiced hold the line" policy
on taxation.
4. Proposals to put ton-mile
tax on heavy trucks using Mary
land roads; to lower the maximum
truck weight limits. and to i'm
pose heavier penalties for violat-
ing the weight limits. Truckers
are fighting the first two PROPOSE
tions, but are in accord with the
third.
5. A long series of highly con-
troversial horse racing measures
which would do everything from
making bookmaking legal to rails
ing the tax on harness and half
mile tracks.
Civil Defense System.
6. The question of how best to
create an efficient civilian defense
system. The Governor is expected
to propose bond issue Of from
So million to So million to finance
civilian defense program.
7. And, of course, the veterans
bonus bill. For the third straight
year legislation is before the Cen
eral Assembly to give the people
a chance to decide by referendum
whether each Maryland war vet
eran should be handed bonus Of
from $40 to $500, depending on
type and length of service.
All this means that from now
on, the legislators will work long
hours and there will be frequent
night sessions.
Topping the list of finished busi-
ness:
The decision not to hold con-
vention to rewrite Maryland's con-
stitution. Both houses voted
against a convention call. Resi-
dents had approved the convention
by margin of almost to / at
referendum last November.
Passage of an act repeating
Maryland's Jim Crow" law. Gov.
McKeldin signed the repeater last
week. So, after May 81, there
will be no segregation of races on
the Chesapeake Bay ferry system.

glimpse Of it when the McLeans
left for Europe. ..
The child's presents on his
fourth Christmas in 1918 were
estimated to cost $4,000. One
was a scale model of a steam
yacht. A special private railway
car was built for Vinson with an
early air-conditioning system.
Circus Appeared Privately.
Wilson's sand box at Friendship
was a large one. Two railway
gondolas were used to bring sand
from Palm Beach.
Wilson's parents were afraid to
take him to the circus so they
had Ringing Bros. Barnum &
Bailey come to Friendship and
give him a private performance.
He had a team of goats, two
Great Danes. two Russian Wolf
hounds, a snow-white Colorado
burro and Sc Shropshire sheep.
& When the McLeans went to
Louisville In 1919 to the Kentucky
Derby two more private detectives
were hired to guard the boy.
That made six. It was then that
little Vinson ran out the gate of
across Wisconsin ave-
nue. to greet a gardener with a
load of ferns. He snatched a
fern and ran back in front of a
Model T Ford in which three
women from West Virginia were
touring to Washington. The boy
was knocked down but the car was
going very slowly. He jumped up
and walked into the house. The
women were assured by the Serv-
ants that he was all right, no one
even took their names and they
had to be located later by the
license number of their car. Vim
son had a fractured skull and died
that evening.

LIFE
at Its Best
Gaining BY Losing

Lafcadio Hearn has given us {
beautiful little story called "The
Living Cod. 1t tells of farmer
working in his field on the top oil
| a high hill overlooking the sea
He has just completed the har-
vesting of his summers crop, and
as he finishes his last rick, he
pauses for a moment to gaze out
over the sea. There he is hor.
ror-Stricken to discover a huge
tidal wave sweeping in to the
shore.
In the valley just below him,
but too far away to hear his cry
are some other men, quite un-
aware Of their peril. The farmer
knows that, before he can reach
them with warning, it will be
too late. SO he deliberately sets
fire to his stacks of grain, the
product of his seasons labor.
The men in the field below
discovering that the stacks of
their neighbor are on fire, leave
their own grain to run up the
hill in an effort to save that of
their friend. Thus they save
themselves, too, for in a few min
utes the valley is filled with the
raging waters OF the ocean.
So it is with us. We discover,
sooner or later, that we really
save our lives only as we offer
them gladly in the service of
others. No man, centering his
life in his own personal desires,
can expect to find any lasting hap
piness and satisfaction. Selfish
ness in whatever form it may ap-
pear, carries with it its own con-
demnation Indeed the most com
plete form of selfshncSs is ir-
sanity.
In his symbolic drama, Peer
Gynt, Ibsen pictures Peer going
to an insane asylum. His motto
Is ''Be Yourself" and he wants to
have look at the people who
are outside themselves. One
can we'll imagine his surprise
when the director of the asylum
tells him: 1T is here that men
are most es-themselves
and nothing but themselves-saiI-
ing with outspread sails of self
Each shuts himself in cask, the
cask stepped with a bung OF self
and seasoned with a we'll of self |
None has a tear for others woes
OF cares what any other thinks.
We smile at poor Peer, but, like |
him, We often carry our individu- |
alism too far. We are ne;Qhbors;
we cannot get along without each |
other; we are "our brothers kee-
err; the whole universe is so built |
hat he who serves the best inter
ests of the other fellow in the |
.ong run serves his own hest IN
erests, too!
