the word Prosecution" by Bill
Paulsgrove, during his summary of
the news at last weeks meeting of
the Kiwanis Club.
The joke was made all the funnier
by the fact that States Attorney
John Hollyday was the guest speak
err.
1t looks very much as if there will
be a real old fashioned Republican
primary contest this year for the
office of United States Senator for
Maryland, the seat now held by SEN
ator O'Conor. With Congressman
Beall and Mr.. Gore, of Montgomery
County, already in the race and the
announcement of Mayor H. l.. Mills,
expected at any time, the Republi-
can voters of Maryland will have an
opportunity to choose their own
candidate for this high office-which
is as it should be.
Too often in primaries the var
ious candidates are hand-picked by
Central Committees or other politi-
cal groups, as is the case in the Dem
ocratic candidacy for Senator
O'Conor's seat.
1t is no secret that the State Dem
ocratic machine refused to support
Senator O'Conor and many of us
believe that is the real reason why
he is not seeking reelection. This
same group that turned down Sem
ator O'Conor has lined up solidly be-
hind Congressman Sasscer, with the
result that the Democratic voters
will have no choice of their own, but
must take the hand-picked candidate
of the machine politicians.
The one thing the rank and file
voters of the Republican party in
Maryland must do, is not only to
vote themselves in the primary on
May 5, but also urge all their friends
to vote. If, after you have studied
the records and abilities of the can
didates on the Republican ticket and
have selected the one you would
like to see nominated, it won't do
you, or your candidate, much good
unless you not only vote yourself,
but get everybody else that you can
influence to vote also.
You can rest assured that the Re-
publican political groups all over the
state will get the vote out for the
candidate they want nominated-and
you can also rest assured that the
candidate they select behind closed
doors will get the nomination un-

When the banquet was held here
inl948 the local chapter received a
number of complaints from the la

this time we are throwing the ban

well represented.

During the Congressional investi-
cation of the Internal Revenue De-
partment, Attorney General Nc
Grath gave Lamar Caudle a clean
bill of health and stated that Presi-
dent Truman had not consulted him
before firing Caudle.
President Truman then appointed
Judge Murphy, of New York, to in
vestigate corruption in government,
but the judge turned down the APP
pointment because he found he
would be denied a free hand.
The presidents next step was to
appoint Attorney General McGrath
to conduct the investigation.
Now the Judiciary Committee of
the House of Representatives has
voted to investigate Mr. McGrath!

States Attorney Hollyday Pleads For
Repeal Of The Bouse Act In Address Here
Tells Members Of Kiwan Club That The Act Is Distinct
Hindrance To Law Enforcement In This State

John S. Hollyday, States Attor-
ney for Washington County, in an
address before the Kiwanis Club at
its regular weekly luncheon meet
ing at the Hotel Alexander on Thurs
day, stated that: The retention on
the statue books of the Bouse Act
is a distinct hinderance to law en-
forcement in this state, particularly
as it affects gamblers and liquor
violators."
The meeting was presided over by
the president, Albert M. Long, and
the speaker was introduced by Fred
Wright, ST., chairman of the Public
Affairs Committee.
During his talk Mr. Hollyday
stated that the two questions most
often asked him regarding the work
of special officer Diggins, who has
now concluded his work in Hagers-
town and rejoined the Baltimore
Police Department, were-Why was
it necessary to bring in an outsider
to get the gamblers and why can't
our local police do the same thing?
The States Attorney said that the
two questions had practically the
same answer-that the local police
cannot do the job because the local
gamblers make it their business to
know, not only who the police are,
but also where they are, and for that
reason it was impossible for them
to get close enough to the gamblers
in action to get the necessary evil
dence upon which to convict.
In support of his statement, Mr..
Hollyday cited a case in which Of
ficer Diggins, while doing his un-
dercover work here, met book
maker to whom he owed $4,000 for
losses incurred while getting evil
dence. When he went to pay the
debt the bookmaker just kept on
his way without stopping. A day or
two later, however, he met Mr.. Dig
gins, received the money, and then
told him that he couldn't stop on
the other occasion because there was
a police officer in plain clothes stand
ing on the corner
It was at this point that Mr. Hol-
lyday brought up the matter of the
Bouse Act. During the probition
days, he stated, it was legal in the
State of Maryland for the police, if
they suspicioned that gambling or
bootlegging was being carried on,
to raid such places without search
warrant, and evidence obtained in
these raids could be used in court.
Later on, however, the Bouse Act,
named after the legislator who in
troduced it, was passed, making it
illegal to raid places and get evil
dence without search warrant.
This act, the speaker said, pro-

Hagerstown is honored by being
selected, not only for the annual
meeting Of the Board of Directors of
the Interstate League, which will be
held at the Hotel Alexander on
Thursday afternoon, February 7, but
also for the annual banquet of the
Interstate League Sportswriters' &
Broadcasters' Association, which will

In addition to these two big events
there will be two-day meeting of

The big event, of course, as far as
the public is concerned, will be the
Sportswriters' & Broadcasters' ban
quet, at which Tommy Richardson,
president of the Glass A Eastern
League, will be master of ceremonies.
Those of you who were privileged to
hear him at the Sportswriters' &
Broadcasters' banquet held here in
1948 know that he is "a Show In
Himself" Tommy, who has been
master of ceremonies at some of the
biggest baseball banquets in the
country, has an endless number of
screamingly funny baseball stories
and is also master of the Adlib.
The entertainment committee has
arranged very fine program, which
will be headed by the much talked
of "Ten Hills Billy Band" of Balti-
more, who will put on one of the
most novel shows this reporter has
seen in long time. The members
of the band, all businessmen of Bal
timore, take no fee for themselves
at any of their public appearances.
They use the money they receive to
buy refreshments which they dis
tribute at their numerous appear
ances in hospitals, Orphans Homes
and other charitable institutions.
In addition, entertainment will al
so be provided by various artists ap-
pearing at the local night spots, to-
gether with some surprise acts.
Among the speakers at the ban
quet will be; Tommy Holmes, man.
ager Of the Boston Braves Club in
the National League; doc" Gutre-
aux, the Boston Braves chief scout
for the New England division; jim
Tatum, head coach of the famous
University of Maryland football
team; Dave Cianelli, Hagerstowns
popular player on the Maryland
team; land Robert Finch, Of the Ma
tional Association Of Baseball.
The Hagerstown Chapter of the
Sportswriters' & Broadcasters' AS
ISOLATION are working hard to make
this banquet even better than the
one held here in 1913 which, by the
way, was voted the best banquet held
since the association was formed
some eight years ago. But the sue
cess of the banquet will depend on
the support the citizens of Hagers-
town give it. While number of
groups have already reserved tables
for the big event, the sale of indi-
vidual tickets, to put It frankly, is
tagging. So, it's now up to you.

Here Buster looked around him. Now
he was getting his sea legs-or, autumn
wings. There is nothing quite like 1t in
human life. A bird cannot fly one day,
the very next he is on his way.
He looked over at the large west yard
across the street, and there saw few
young robins, waiting for their new
coats, too.
High up over the trees sailed Buster.
He gave a final cheep Of good-by, and
was gone.
We heard him later high In an oak
tree. He would answer back, when
called, but he would not come down. He
never did like flying down.

The next morning. just at daylight, he
called cheerfully from the large oak
across the street. We talked with him
for some time. but he was adamant
about returning to that cage. He would
prefer to stay free. he said. We were
sure he said that; after all. he is an
American. and every American wants to
stay free.
Good-by. Buster! Take care Of your
self down there In Florida. It Is nice

in the fate Of Buster, the robin, will be
glad to know that he has taken over his
rightful heritage as bird.
He few away the other day with

the yard for a couple of weeks.
He would answer when spoken to, but
refused to come down from the maple
tree.
Coming down was always difficult for
this small highfiyer.
Nature. evidently. took over with q
bang.
Buster did not seem hungry, and
would not let himself be caught to be
fed, as before.
No. he was now definitely on his own.
as the human phrase has it. He knew
what he wanted, and he realized at last
that even the dossiest cage, made In
England. would do no longer.

This and That !.
BY Charles z. TruceweN

Birds. like children. grow wild at dusk.
What is there about approaching
darkness that sets the little ones into
frenzy? Rabbits rush around the brush.
children scream and run, birds In cages
swing back and forth on the highest
perch.
Buster was happy, in his robin way.
He swung wildly, eager for what he did
not know.
The next day it was apparent what
Buster wanted.
He wanted loose.
There was look In his eye. and his
tiny feathers atop his head stood up
just like the pompadour of famous
statesman or labor leader.
Buster looked into the yard, but did
not offer to come out Of the door. which
had been held back for long time. now.
Though he pined for freedom, the
robin was not going to take it.
He had to be pushed. Many Of us
are like that.
Suddenly he found himself in the
open. The cage, minus bottom. had
simply been lifted OF him.
He looked around, then fell to his
favorite occupation Of pecking at the
grass; here he found earth In the best
way, and also a few ants. which he ate
with great relish.

japanese troops occupied islands in the
AleutlanS following the entry of this
country into the war. Weather conditions
and the climate affect naval operations
in the Bering Sea and the North Pa
cific. The effectiveness of aerial bonn
bardment in the Bering Sea and Strait
will very largely depend on the weather
conditions encountered over target areas.
Aviation Is playing an increasingly
important part in the development Of
communications in both Alaska and ST.
IBERIA. Places which formerly could be
reached only by dog sled after many
weeks of difficult travel are now readily
accessible Information indicates that
communication facilities have been i'm
proved and extended in Eastern Siberia,
near the Arctic Circle. This region is
no longer isolated from important mill
tary and commercial centers in the
U.S.SR. In addition to the Russian fish
ing fleets which regularly frequent the
Bering Sea, submarine and surface units
of the Soviet Navy operate in these
waters The town Of Anadyr, just below
the Arctic Circle. is a growing port Of
increasing importance to the Soviet
Union.
It is inevitable that the Bering Sea
will become the water frontier between
the belligerents of future war. We must
retain control of the Strait. and con-

Alaska may be overrun by the prepared
aggressive force and by the employment
of Subversive elements. The aggressor
may have obtained, at least temporarily,
command Of the air over the approaches
to Northwestern America. From this
Alaskan bridgehead the enemy will pour
his overwhelming manpower into the
heart of this continent. It is sometimes
said that the next war is fought with
the weapons developed in the last war.
Or, in a more cynical vein. that we
spend our time between wars trying to
figure out how to fight the last one
better. In September, 1889, the world
was startled by the speed and thorough
ness with which Hitler's armies con-
quered and crushed the Poles. The basic
idea of the blitzkrieg is not entirely new,
for Genghis Khan produced a version
with comparable capabilities for his
time. An attack across the strait might
come like thunderbolt out Of Asia,
simultaneously with drive on the Aleu-
tiauS.
Two factors will surely influence the
course OF the next war: First. improve
ment Of existing weapons and the in
PRODUCTION Of new ones: second, obliga-
tions accepted by the United States as
a member Of the Atlantic pact. 1t Is
easy to explain the reasons for victory
and defeat in past wars; it is extremely
difficult to predict the course or outcome
Of future war. Nevertheless a glance
at the map will serve to remind Amer
leans that great onslaught against
the security Of our continental republic
might be repulsed in the Bering Sea.
