Seven Measures Passed
During Session; Gov
ernOr Lauds Legisla-
ture For Passing Fer
ry M easure AS He
Signs 1t.

At a. m. last Saturday the 116th
General Assembly ended it's work
in a special session which conven-
ed December 10, and Governor Ell
bert N. Carvel has before him for
his consideration:
Three anti-gambling bills de-
signed to give police additional
weapons in their fight against or
ganiZed gambling in Delaware.
A measure to create a separate
tuberculosis commission for the
state.
A measure to amend the Family
Court Act.
A measure to place employees Of
the town Of LeWes under the Social
Security laws.
A measure to permit library
commissions to receive and hold
donations for library purposes.
Two other bills-the principal
measures for which the special ses-
sion was called, covering pay in
creases for teachers and the ferry
purchase bond issue-have already
been signed by the Governor.
The ferry purchase bill was sign
ed by Governor Carvel at 1925
o'clock last Friday night, at which
time the Governor said he would
also sign the anti-gambling bills
which had not then reached him,
although they had passed both
houses.
Sees Pledge Redeemed
In signing the ferry measure
Governor Carvel said:
This action redeems a pledge
and promise made by the Legisla-
/ ture of 1945. 1t upholds the integ-
rity of our state with the bOndhold-
ers who purchased the bonds for
the Delaware Memorial Bridge"
Among the bills introduced which
were either defeated or died in com
mittee were: A pay raise for stat
employees other than teachers;
boost in jobless compensation; al
amendment to the charter of thl
Artisans Savings Bank to prOVid,
al irrevocable pensiO ntrust; regu
latiOn of weights for wheat anC
Indian corn; amendment to the
zoning laws; revision of an exist
ing game law; and two bills to Gre
ate new state agencies-one park
commission and the other a depart
ment of labor.
Session Seven Weeks Long
The special session was origin
ally planned to last only five days.
Two of the seven weeks it has been
in session were the Christmas holi-
days, in which a long recess was
declared. In all, there were 20 leg
islative days recorded on the spe-
cial session calendar.

A Real Choice This Time

in the last four Presidential cleo
tions the charge has been made that
there was no real issue between the
two parties; that the Republicans
stood for the same things as the
Democrats; that they did not really
present a choice between liberals and
conservatives; that they had become
a "me-too party"
Prospects are there will be no basis
for such complaints in the coming
campaign. Whether General Ike" or
Senator Taft is the Republican nomi-
nee. by contrast with his Democratic
opponent he will be frankly con-
scrvativc. On domestic affairs each is
against the New Deal and the Fair
Deal. Both are genuine opposed to
waste, want to simplify the Federal
Government and reduce its appalling
cost. Each favors the principles of
the Taft-Hartley Act, is Independent
of the labor bosses politically, OPP
posed to "socialized medicine and in
favor of leaving the civil-rights
question to the states rather than to
the Federal Government.
Thus, for the first time in sixteen
years a clcan-cut line will be drawn
between the two parties. For the first
time the voters will have a chance to
say whether they want to continue in
the direction we have been going
since 1884, or whether they want to
stop, turn around, take stock and end
the appalling economic chaos into
which we have gotten. There are a
vast number of conservative Demo
Gratis who 50 strongly desire to get
back to fiscal sanity and soundness
and who are so firmly convinced that
it is vital to sweep out the present
Administration, with its revealed cor
ruption and incompetency, that they
are prepared to vote for any Republic
can who offers a real promise of those
things.
SO far as can be gathered from
their utterances, both General Ike
and Senator Taft are against all of
the Truman domestic policies, includ-
ing his much-vaunted civil-rights
program. 1t is practically sure that
one of these will be nominated by
the Republican Convention and that
insmes a cleavage much clearer than
there has been for IA long time. For
the Democratic nomination is certain

to go to man who not only person
ally is pro-Ncw Deal and pro-FaiI

Kefauver, Barley, Kerr, Hartman
they are all of the Truman pattern
with nothing new to offer The same
is true of Governor Stevenson of
Illinois, who, though he has declared
himself not presidential aspirant,
seems coyly unable to bring himself
to the point where he can say he will
not respond to draft" OF course,
Mr. Hartman is more New Dealish
and Fair Dealish than Mr.. Truman
himself, particularly on the civil
rights issue. Unquestionably, his sue
cess in the District of Columbia pri-
mary, where he made an especial drive
for Negro support, winding up by en-
tering at an evening party in his
home nonsegregated group of
whites and Negroes, has impressed
his rivals 1t was the solidity of the
Negro vote which enabled him to
beat the agile Mr.. Kefauver, to l
and they all know it.
This means, it is agreed, that the
Democratic platform will contain a
civil-rights plank as strong if not
stronger than that Of 1913, which was
so obnoxious to the South that most
of the Southern delegates bolted the
convention and Mr.. Truman lost 80
electoral votes from the South. Also
it is agreed that the Democratic plat
form will indorse Mr.. Truman, his adj
ministratiOn and policies; Mr.. RoOse-
welt, his Administration and policies.
1t, of course, will declare against cor
ruptiOn, but it will minimize and
deny the graft revelations of the past
two years and favor the new Oscar
Ewing spending schemes for Federal
education and medicine. All of which
makes any expression of economy in
governmental expenses a joke.
In brief, unless, as now seems I'M
likely, there is really basic differ
ence between the two parties on
foreign policy, the prospects are that
the line between conservatives and
liberals will be far more clearly
drawn than since 1892. If any of the
Democrats now considered available
is nominated against either Eisen-
hover or Taft, there can be no ex-
cuse for the old complaint that all

the Republicans say, in effect, is that
they will do the same things but
better and cheaper and that the Re
publican candidate is "me-too'
candidate. The Democratic reliance
still is upon the special groups to
which their spending policies appeal
and upon their 100000 Federal JOB
holders. These represent formidable
number of voters, but if the disaf-
fected Democratic conservatives get
real choice and come out, they do
not represent majority-not nearly
a majority.
