NEW YORK, May 29.-Secre-
tary of Commerce Weeks says

ment rate regulation, such as
railroads and public utilities.

ger profits.

wisely or unfairly treated than
the service industries" he told
the 61st general meeting of the
Iron and Steel Institute yeSter-
day.
This administration believes
it is the intent of Congress in
it's approach to regulation to al
low earnings which will make
the system Of private ownership
work. :"
For 20 years. he said, the Gov
eminent has shackled COMPETE
tive private enterprise with bur-
densome regulations. He said
regulations should be such as to
allow businesses to prosper and
attract new capital.
Railroads have been among
the hardest hit by regulations. he
said. noting that since 1920 rail-
road earnings have averaged less
than four per cent Of the value
of railroad property. This, he
said, isn't a fair return.

Kaiser and Snyder
Reply 10 Williams
On Motor Merger
BY the Assoeiofed Press

Senator Williams. Republican.
of Delaware, has called for a
Senate investigation of the
Kaiser-Willys auto merger, but
principal in the deal has chal-
lenged his statement that it cost
the Government several million
dollars"
Senator Williams denounced in
the Senate yesterday KAISER
Frazer's $62 million purchase OF
WHY'S Overland Motors last
month. He said he wanted the
Senate to study the roles played
by John w. Snyder. former Sec
rotary of the Treasury. and Harry
A. Mcdonald, former admins
traitor of the Reconstruction
Finance Corp.
Senator Williams said Mr..
Snyder was "a key member" Of
the RIGS former policy board.
which he said approved the mer-
ger. He said Mr.. Mcdonald, a
Republican holdover from the
Truman administration, over
rode the new RFC policy boards
recommendation and permitted
the deal to take place. "
Challenging statements came
quickly from Edgar F. Kaiser,
president of Kaiser Motor Corp,
and from Mr.. Snyder. now vice
president of the WHY'S Motor
Co.
Mr.. Kaiser said in a statement
issued in Washington:
1.-THE conclusions and infer
ences drawn in the Senator's
statement are not correct. AS
the facts will show, the Govern
ment, through the RFC, is in
much stronger position as a
result of the WHY'S acquisition
than it was before with respect
to loans due it by Kaiser Motors"
In Toledo, Mr.. Snyder said in
a statement:
II had never heard of any
proposal on the part of Kaiser
to purchase Willys-Overland as
sets until the middle Of Febru-
airy. a. month after I had Off
cially severed my connection
withe the Treasury"

To Avenue
Final Quarterly Confer

At Milford Edifice On
Tuesday Evening.

DR.. o. A. BARLEY, Superintendent
of the Dover District, presided at
the final Quarterly Conference of
the church year at Avenue Metho-
dist Church last Tuesday evening.
Written reports from heads of or
ganizatiOns evidenced progress in
all the church life. The minister,
the Rev. Roy Lawson TaWes, was
invited to return for the fifth year.
He reported thirty-five new mem
bers received thus far this year,

sion. Outstanding was the report
of increased attendance in the
Church School, and increased in
terest in the total youth program.

Red Cross Fund
Drive Is Tagging
With Only One More Week To Go,
Quota Is Third Met

The local workers of Area 6 for
the Red Cross, whose roll call is
being carried on this month, met
with the secretary of the area, Mrs
Charles Swain, Monday evening and
turned in one third of the quota.
With only one week left to COM
plete the work of the area, it is
almost imperative that each one be
a committee of one to see that the
subscription reaches the proper
person and on time. The reports
should reach Mrs. Swain by tOmOr-
row. 1t has been a matter of pride
that Milford should reach its goal
in all of the past years, and be-
cause the starting point was lit
tie late this year, the impetus
should be doubled to get the work
done on time. Adjoining areas like
and Georgetown are fin
ishing in fine shape and Milford
should not lag behind. Should you
have missed your solicitor, be
helpful and send in your cOntribu-
ton. Each year brings it's demands
for Red Cross contributions. This is
no exception. Some of the accrued
monies will be used for Gamma
GlObulin, to prevent the dreaded
polio. Protect your child and the
child of your neighbOr from this
killer by giving to the Red Cross.

Scout Troop 100
Visits Redden Forest
Thirty Members Made Trek To
Sussex Refuge

Boy Scout Troop 100 greeted
spring with a two-day trip to Red
den State Forest Lodge. Leaving
Milford Friday at 5 p. m, thirty
members of the troop stayed at
the cabin until Sunday morning,
breaking camp in time for church.
This trip gave the boys two nights
to roam the woods, engage in
scouting pursuits and to just have
fun.
Highlights of the trip wrere two
late-at-night hikes of about six
miles into Ellendale Swamp. At the
midway mark Of the trip Scout
master Dan DOhring told a series
Of ghost or horror stories with
blood dripping from all the trees.
This made the group a little more
compact and there we're no further
laggards on the trip, although the
trip was a little faster than the
going.
Saturday was a beautiful day in
the woods, with tent pitching, trail
ing and nature study taking most
Of the day. That night, Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Rust Of Marshall Street came
down with Pepsi for all and two
swell homemade cakes. In appre-
citation, the troop sang "Clemen-
tine. Mr.. and Mrs. Rust left Mil
ford soon after six p. m, but didn't
arrive at the camp until about 8
o'clock, having taken wrong turn
and were lost for hours in the
woods, which proved to the boys
that scouting slEills pay OF.
Camp Directors were Scribe
Sonny Mills; Junior Assistant
Scoutmaster, Clyde Draper, and
Senior Patrol Leader, Danny Dohr-
ing. Don Lull was in charge of
Scouting skills.
Another amusing incident was
the cooks deciding that since the
ScOutmaster liked to stay in bed in
the mornings, to serve him his
breakfast. 1t was a crude sort of
breakfast, but it served to wake
him up. They were dressed as
Turks with towels around their
heads and waists and with much
bowling, presented him with a box
Of corn fakes and a can of con-
densed cream.
Transportation was provided by
the following parents: Mr.. and Mrs.
Ralph Mills, Clyde Draper, Joseph
Wheatley, the Paquettes, Carpen-
ters, Dees and Mrs. Kenton. With
out this help from the parents, the
trip would have been impossible;
in fact, without the help Of the par
ents, Scouting is impossible.
