lawyer, cultured gentleman,
champion of human rights and
friend of thousands"
Unusual Appointment.
DR.. Marshall said the former
city head was "the only commits
sioner for over 80 years ap-
pointed without the stamp of
approval of the Washington
Board of Trade, the most in
f1uential group in the entire
city.
His attitude toward racial
segregation alone" continued the
speaker, was sufficient to bring
opposition from that body"
Feature of the program was a
pageant based on the life of the
guest of honor. Narrator was
James W.. Butcher, professor of
English at Howard University,
assisted by the Euphonic Chorale
of the church.

and other persons we'll known to

of questions propounded through
microphone off stage. After
Mr.. Donohue recognized nearly
all of the voices, his questioners
appeared and shook hands with
him.
Among those participating in
this were: Milton Kronheim, sr.;
Argyle R. Mackey, commissioner
of immigration and naturaliza-
ton; Bryson Rash, radio news
analyst; John B. Duncan, re-
corder of deeds. and Mrs. j. G..
B. Keyes. retired policewoman,
now a social worker.

of the church included William
E. Leahy, Arthur Clarendon
Smith, ST., and Judge Andrew
Howard of Municipal Court.
Several gifts were presented
to Mr.. Donohue. They included
two leather-bound illustrated
books, one, This Is Your Life"
and another containing a series
of letters from his friends. He
also will receive a motion picture
film and a recording of the pro-
gram.
Mrs. Donohue was given
bouquet Of red roses.

Another Referendum
On D. {. Home Rule
Proposed by Broyhi||
By Donald B. HodIey
finoneioI Editor Of The S,or

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
w. Va, Oct. 31.-Another city,
wide referendum on home rule
and constitutional amendment
to give District of Columbia resi-
dents the right to vote for Presi-
dent and Vice President were
proposed here today by Repre-
sentative Broyhill. Republican,
OF Virginia.
Addressing the closing session
OF the District Building and
Loan League at the Greenhrier,
Mr.. Broyhill blamed the Jumping
together of these two necessarily
separate issues and disunity
among District residents for the
failure Of Congress to act.
Home rule bills continue to
gather dust on the shelves of
congressional committees be-
cause the District people ARE
cat-f1ghting and dog fighting
among themselves" he declared.
Home Rule Bill Limited.
II have talked with many Of
my colleagues and generally
they are sympathetic" he con-
tinued. But invariably the an
swer will be that the people Of
Washington don't know whether
they want home rule or not.
Unfortunately the right to
have elected local officials and
representatives in Congress and
the right to vote for the Presi-
dent and Vice President of the
United States are in a state Of
confusion. The latter right
cannot be granted in a home
rule bill"
Turning to the current Poto-
mac bridge controversy. he pre-
dicted that, early next year.
Congress will enact his measure
setting up a presidential COM
mission to review and revise
bridge. traffic. highway and
transit problems affecting the
Washington area.
Il am firmly convinced, as are
many of my colleagues on Capt.
tol Hill, that diagnosis must
come before prescription" he
said. Half measures will COM
plicate rather than cure our
current Illness"
He predicted also that Con-
gress will authorize two new
bridges, one at Jones Point in
Alexandria and one on E street
in Washington.
Fears Effects of Discord.
Mr.. Broyhill warned that fight
ing among various planning
commissions might dissuade
Congress from making the neces-
sary authorizations and appro-
priations for bridges.
Walter w. McAllister. a past
president of the United States
Savings and Loan League and
now chairman of the Federal
Home Loan Bank Board, told
delegates that competition for
savings will become more intense
in the coming year,
He said associations should be
thinking about clearer and
broader investment rules.
"Is our prime responsibility to
borrowers or to saverS?" he asked.
Some associations give first
consideration to safety, ample
reserves and ample liquidity.
while some pay higher-than-
reasonable dividends to bring in
savings, operate with minimum
liquidity and use their credit to
the limit" he said.
0. K. LaRoque, retired preSi-
dent of the Federal Home Loan
Bank of Greensboro, N. c., and
now with the Savings and Loan
Foundation. urged support for
the foundations plans for a Ma
tion-wide advertising drive to
promote thrift and better public
understanding of savings and
loan institutions.

NEW YORK, Feb. 28.-In this
holiday shortened week. the
stock market with a vigorous
forward movement extended its
recovery from the February
reaction lows.
Gains were extensive and the
volume of business was high. All
in all, the market acted as
though it wished to leave the
traditionally beariSh February
and get a running start on the
usually bullish March.
Buying enthusiasm undoubt-
edly can be traced to two main
factors - lower margins and
price decontrol orders. At the
same time there was a ready
response to favorable corporate
news.
Heavy volume was the thing
that encouraged the bulls. It
averaged 2,242,0O0 shares daily.
That's the best daily average in

cific improvement requirements are
set forth. In the event that the neces-
sary requirements have not been
met at the end of the lease term the
lease will not be renewed.
Lands classified for business site
purposes may be leased for a period
of years and the rental is based on
the gross receipts of the business con-
Quoted on the lands, and, in general,
lands classified for business site pur-
poses are classified for lease and
sale. Land classified for lease only
will not be sold.
Desert Land Law
Another law which provides for
the acquisition of lands is known as
the Desert Land Law. This is similar
to the Homestead Law except that
residence is not required and it in
cludes up to 800 acres of land, of
which one-eighth of each legal sub
division must be capable of produc-
ing cultivated agricultural crops on
a sustained yield basis.
The entryman must furnish plan
of agricultural development and
proof of control of an adequate and
dependable water supply for the ir-
rigation of the lands to be cultivated.
There are still some lands in the
western states that are susceptible to
development and acquisition under
the Desert Land Law, but the prin-
cipal limiting factor is an adequate
and dependable water supply.
One of the best opportunities for
obtaining a specified tract of public
land is through the provision of ex-
change, wherein private land may be
exchanged for public domain lands
of equal character and value. All pri-
vate exchanges must be in the pub
lie interest.
The above described public land
laws are those most often used in
the acquisition of public lands, but
it is important to keep in mind that
only public lands which are not
needed for public use programs will
be passed to private ownership.
Further detailed information and APP
plication forms under any of these
laws may be obtained from the reg
ional office of the land office, Blu
reau of Land Management, Billings,
or from the Land and Survey Office,
Bureau of Land Management, Chey-
enne, Wyo.
