I19-Year-Olds
Expected To Go
In Nav Draft Call

Nineteen-year-old selective service
registrants will be drafted from AL
len county, including the Bluffton
area, beginning in May or June, it
was announced this week by Mrs.
Donna Ohler, clerk of the Allen
county selective service board.
Although the board has enough
20-year-old registrants to fill its
April draft quota of 29 men, it will
be necessary to dip into the 19-year-
old bracket at least by June, and pos
sibly in May, the board announce
ment made clear.
In meeting its April draft quota,
the local board is reported to have
gone right up to the division points
between the 20-year and 19year
groups. All the men notified for
April induction will be at least 20
years old by April /.
AS matters now stand, however,
the Allen board has only 36 regis
trants who will be 20 years old or
older by July /. Consequently how
soon local 19-year-olds must be taken
will depend entirely on the size of
the Allen county quotas for May and
June.
Forty-one states, including Ohio,
are drafting 19-year-old registrants
in April, and two more may be re-
quired to do so. However, only a
few in the 10 bracket will be taken
in Ohio's April draft contingent.

Along The Potomac
from your Congressman
Dewitt S. Hyde

The Senate worked hard this week
to conclude its debate on bill OF
utmost importance, establishing jur-
isdiction over lands beneath our
coastal waters. The House has al
ready passed bill giving the states
control over those lands out to 8
miles from shore.
Let me set straight few facts in
this ''tidelands" controversy:
First, the Supreme Court has said
the states DO NOT control the tide
lands, but the Court has never said
the Federal government does. It
has mentioned an historical con-
cept" of federal jurisdiction under
the Constitution in matters of foreign
policy and defense, but this applies
to everything, not just tidelands.
Second, the House decided to give
states control of tidelands out to the
Smile limit, partly on the basis Of
the charters of the original 13 states
which included the Smile provision
either expressly or by implication

Claude B. Hellman, Immediate
Past President of Kiwanis Interna-
tional, in addressing the weekly
luncheon meeting of the Hagerstown
Kiwanis Club on Thursday, told the
members that: "At time when the
Free Christian World is threatened
by the Athiestic slavery of Com
munism, it is important to proclaim
loudly the message of the history of
America, the Land of Opportunity,
where the Divinity of God and the
Dignity of the Individual are a
Sacred Heritage"
The meeting, which was presided
over by president Oscar Hartsock,
was held in the ballroom of the Hotel
Alexander and among the guests
were delegations from the Kiwanis
clubs of Baltimore, Martinsburg, Mt.
Airy and Taneytown, headed by
Lowry Stroh, Lieutenant Governor
of the Capital District.
A feature of the program was the
presentation by Mr.. Hellman of Ger
tificates of membership in the XII
wants Legion of Honor to Roy A.
Letter and Perley L. Russell The
Legion of Honor is restricted to
those Kiwanians who, in addition to
rounding out 30 years of member
ship, have also had 30 years of per
feet attendance.
The program was arranged by the
Inter-C1ub Committee, of which Al
Powell is chairman, and the speaker
was introduced by President Hart
sock.
In giving the membership a resume
of the history of Kiwanis Interna-
tional, Mr.. Hellman stated that the
first Kiwanis club was formed 81
years ago in Detroit, Michigan, anc

Air F orce Checking
Reservists Records
Interviews Being Held Here To
Bring Records Up-To-Date.

A special Air Force team is now
in Hagerstown to interview personal
ly some 600 Air Force Reservists
from Washington County and other
nearby counties in Maryland, as well
as several counties in West Virginia.
The interviews are being conducted
at the Fire Hall, los North Potomac
Street, and will continue through
April %.
Major Gloria K. Miller-P Potter, who
heads the selected 15-man team,
stated that the Inventory is in no
way connected with any program for
ordering personnel back to active
military service, but is simply a part
of an Air Force operation aimed at
bringing up-to-date the records of
100000 Air Reservists not on active
military service nationwide.
The Air Force hopes that all en-
ployers will cooperate with the In
ventory by giving Reservists in their
employ time off to visit the interview
team.

founded the Warm Springs Founda-
ton; and the Bradenton, Florida,
club that operates a trailer camp,

''KiWanis is force for good and
has done much to stimulate patriotic
ferver and religious devotion in our
nation at a time when it is desper-
ately needed" the speaker went on,
"and Kiwanians accept their citizen
ship responsibility"
Touching on public affairs, Mr..
Hellman pointed out that in the Con-
gress of the United States, one out of
every six members are Kiwanians,
and in this connection he said that
all KiWanians should always be
mindful of the admonition of Pres
ident Eisenhower, when he said in
his inaugural acceptance address:
"This nation is great because it is
good. When it ceases to be good, it
will cease to be great"
In closing, Mr. Hellman stated
that the founding fathers of XII
wants were wiser than they knew
when they selected as the first two
objects of Kiwanis-to give primacy
to the human and spiritual, and to
encourage the daily living of the
Golden Rule in all human relation
ships.

Later states came into the Union the
same way.
Reports given to my Judiciary
Committee, and to the House itself,
indicate that only one-tenth of the
underseas oil is within three miles
of our shores, and oil, of course, is
the major resource involved in the
question of tidelands ownership.
Third, you hear the argument that
the federal government would use
tidelands oil revenues to improve
schools. This, in my opinion, is just
so much demagogery, an attempt to
create sympathy for federal owner
ship of tidelands by dragging in an
unrelated issue.
The big argument for the Mary
land sales tax, you remember, was
that the revenue would be used for
schools. But since we've had sales
tax in the Free State, we find the
schools just as hard-pressed for
money as ever
Fourth, you hear that giving the
tidelands to the states is ''big steal"
But the question is, who's doing
the stealing?" If states control tide
lands, the same people will do the
drilling for oil, process it and sell it,
and at the same profit. The same
people will pay their taxes, no mat
ter who controls the land they work
on.
Fifth, it is said that the federal
government must control tidelands
oil for defense purposes. But the
fact is that Congress is always ready
as we've seen in the last Is years
to take emergency measures when.
a defense emergency really exists.
Finally, the matter of conservation
is brought up. But the federal gov
eminent can enforce conservation
laws without owning the land which
contains the resources, and individ-
ual states have made excellent con-
servation laws. The issue is: How
far must we go in federal ownership
of our resources in order to practice
good conservation methods? Remem-
ber-we are wasting our land at
terrific rate. Must we have federal
ownership in order to preserve our
farms?
That's the 'tidelands" issue, as l
see it. And we should not forget that
last year the American people gave
a landslide vote to an Administrator
clearly pledged to give the states
control of their own tidelands.
