Vrgnios Eastern Shore Natives Ponderinq New PEOPLE

IShore's present abundant crop of
sweet potatoes is being harvested
by Negro hands. Whole families,
young and old together in pic
turesque groups, sing as they
work in unison.
Where chair tilted groups once
discussed the affairs of the Ma
ton in country stores in front of
the counter nearest to the wheel
Of cheese, retired watermen oc-
cupy the benches alongside the
filling stations of such bayside and
seaside towns as Onancock, Pun
goteague, Wachapreague, Asso-
league and Nassawadox, all names
of Indian derivation, of course.
Here the talk is quite as much
as of whether the new bridge will
hold if the Chesapeake Bay freezes
over-as some of them claim to
remember it has done-as it is of
who will be the next President.
For the history minded, those
who are interested in old churches
and old gardens and homes, the
Eastern Shore has much to offer.

Everest Climbers Give Up,
Return 10 Village at Base
BY the Asseeiaisd Press

NEW DELHI, India, Dec. 6.
| (P)-Mount Everest's numbing
winds and below zero cold have
defeated a courageous Swiss
mountain climbing expedition re-
ported last month to have reached
a point only $50 feet from its un-
conquered peak.
Advices today from Katmandu,
capital of neighboring Nepal, said
the climbers abandoned their at
tempt November 20 and returned
safely to Namche Bazaar, a village
lat Everest's base.
Their heroic effort was the 10th
carefully planned attack on the
snow covered mountain towering
more than $4,000 feet, whose sum-
NIT no one has reached and re-
turned to tell about it.
But If previous reports prove
correct, the Swiss got higher than
any previous expedition.
The Swiss Alpine Research
Foundation in Zurich, Switzer-
land, said the climbers were forced
Ito turn back ''in spite Of all their
great effort to reach the top" and
"it is not yet known" what height
they reached.

State Officials Urqe
Withdrawal Of u. ).
||From Gas Tax Field
By The As.oeiuted Pres.

4 ~ wv ASbVS0tV0 btSbS
I. CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-Oficials of
States across the Nation today
urged the Federal Government to
get out of the gasoline tax field.
They figured that if Uncle Sam
withdrew the States would get
more money to build and improve
roads.
A resolution calling on the Fed
eral Government to stop collect
ing gasoline taxes "as soon as may
be consistent with the needs of
national defense" was adopted by
Legislators and State officers from
A States.
Cite Highway Needs.
The Federal tax Is 2 cents per
gallon. The conferees. gathered in
the biennial General Assembly
'of the States" contended:
"The Federal gasoline tax is
levied upon the American high
way user, and our highway system
is rapidly deteriorating because
the funds needed to develop and
maintain q modern highway net
work are not available.
"The Federal Government now
is distributing to the States only
about two-thirds of the revenue
OF the Federal gasoline tax and
is diverting the remainder to other
purposes"
The meeting. sponsored by the
Council of State Governments.
also demanded that the States re-
|ceive a larger share of estate
taxes gathered by Federal col
lectors.
Those two taxes were mentioned
specifically In broad statement
suggesting a need for a clear-cut
blueprint Of the area of opera
tions of governments at all levels.
Hits "Encroachment."
The resolution said there has
been a growing encroachment"
by Washington on traditional
State functions. It added that
Federal tax policies have made it
increasingly difficult for State and
local governments to obtain the
cash they require.
The sessions ended today with
a discussion Of finances-one of
the biggest headaches State law
makers will have when they get
down to work next year.
State Representative Arnell
Engstrom of Michigan said States
are hard pressed in the midst of
general prosperity. He said they
faced three choices: A reduction
in State services, a slash in aid
to local governments or increases
In taxes.
Other Resolutions.
Other resolutions approved by
the delegates:
Asked legislative action to pre-
vent loss Of voting rights by
persons who move from one State
to another during an election
year.
Favored absentee voting by
members of the Armed Forces
from all States, with at least Is
days allowed for mailing out and
returning the ballots.
Recommended that States CON-
bat organized crime by enacting
laws designed to cripple gambling
land to provide heavier sentences
for sports fixers and narcotics
peddlers.
Suggested agreements between
States for cooperation and
mutual aid in preventing and con-
trolling forest fires.
Directed the Council Of State
Governments to prepare legisla-
ton aimed at wiping out the hog
disease vascular exanthema.
Commended the Federal-Inter-
state Compact for Development
of the Missouri River Basin on
grounds that it upheld States
Rights against undue centraliza-
ton of power in the Federal Gov
ernment."
Asked Congress to take steps to
admit a resident commissioner to
represent the Virgin Islands in
Congress.

Gen. Macarthur Does Not Support ke's Candidacy
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREssb

Gen. Douglas Macarthur is on record Friday that he does not support Gen. Dwight D. Eisen- hover flor political office"
 And, he said in a statement issued in New York Thursday, he has no personal hatred of Presi- dent Truman"
 My criticism of the present ad- ministration are much more fun damental," MacArthur added. "They go to the grave issues in- volving the ideals, stability and security of the nation" . He said he has a warm per sonal feeling for Eisenhower, but:
 "I do not support his candidacy as I have no slightest knowledge of his political beliefs or his views on many grave issues which now confront our nation"
 Harold StaSsen, addressing the New York City Republican Club, ripped into government corrup- ton, asked Congress to look into the source of Attorney General McGrath's accumulated wealth." and said he felt Taft had the poorest chance" of all Republi- cans to win the nomination.
 Asked about Stassen's refer ence to unconfirmed runors that McGrath had become a million aire while in public office, the attorney general said he "has no desire and there is no necessity to comment beyond thanking candidate Stassen for the con- pliment."

Truce Negotiators Exchange Compromise Package Deals

MUNSAN, Korea, (R- Allied and communist truce negotiations offered each other compromise package deals on troop rotation and ports of entry Friday.
 Each side said "N0."
 But their differences were nar- rowed to only one port of entry and 5000 men in the monthly TO- tation ceiling.
 Originally the difference was nine port of entry and 10000 men.
 Once again the JUN. rejected the Reds nomination of Soviet Russia as a member of the neu- tral inspection commission.
 Repercussions of the commun- ist-led riot which left 69 Koreans dead and 142 wounded in an Allied compound for civilian pri- soners were expected in the truce talks on prisoner exchange.
 Observers said Red delegates probably would try to use the Koje Island incident as a lever to get their own way in the deli cate negotiations for exchanging prisoners and displaced civilians.

Free Transportation in US. & Canada Not Wrong, Declares Churchill

LONDON, (P)-Prime Minister Churchill stoutly denies he did wrong by accepting free rides on steamships and trains during his January visit to the United States and Canada.
 He said Wednesday in the House of Commons, "The gifts and services of the Cunard Steamship Company, as we'll as those of the United States and Canadian railways, were not to ministers but to the British tax payers" Conservative supporters backed him up with loud cheers.
 He was hitting back at oppo- sition charges that he failed in his duty by "the acceptance of gifts from commercial undertakings" "
 The value of the boat rides given Churchill and Foreign Sec retary Anthony Eden was 1,752 pounds C$4,905). The train trips cost considerably less.
 qn New York, spokesmen for the New York Central and Penn sylvania Railways said all their bills had been or would be- paid by the British delegation to the United Nations or reimbursed by the Canadian Pacific Railway. Giving free transportation, they said, violates Interstate Commerce Commission regulations.

Alaska Statehood Bill Scheduled For Vote Next Wednesday

WASHINGTON, (P) - n e question of Alaskan statehood marked time in the Senate today as both sides prepared to rally their forces for an all-out drive next week.
 The statehood legislation is scheduled to come to a vote next Wednesday on a motion that it be sent back to committee for hearings.
 Senator Magnuson O. Wash) said statehood for the territory is a necessity if Alaska is to be developed by anything but "some sort of socialism or government ownership"
 Senators Hendrickson R-ND and Murray D-MonD also en- dorsed the legislation.
 The New Jersey senator said the lawmakers have a solemn obligation" to support the bill because of endorsement given statehood in the platforms of the two major political parties.
 He told the Senate arguments against admission of Alaska "can- not withstand cold logic"
 The Senate was told in a letter by Acting Secretary of Defense William C. Foster that Alaska $ strategic importance makes its de- fense mandatory" and that de fense could be strengthened by statehood.
