AT one point in the arguments,
Judge Hermann himself took over
the interrogation. asking of both
Deputy Attorney General Baker and
the defense attorneys, rs the evil
dence as consistent with Hick-
mans innocence as with his guilt?"
The story back of the charges
against Hickman began in 1852. At
that time, il was claimed by wit
nesses, the Nanticoke Finance Co.,
Seaford, who have figured III other
charges against Hickman, received
conditional sales contract for
freezing unit valued at $3.306 and
signed with tie name of Brady
Todd, Cambridge, Md.
The finance company proceased
the sales contract and gave the
money to the Sussex Refrigeration
Later, however, Todd denied that
he had signed any such contract
and that forgery had been COM
mitted.
Blame for the forgery was placed
upon Hickman and he was indicted
by the February, 1854, Grand Jury.
The case has dragged on since then.
Defense attorneys on Wednesday
moved for dismissal of the indict
ment on the grounds that it was
fatally defective, particularly in
that it did not specifically name
what individual Of the, firm Hick-
man intended" to defraud. The in
dictment merely stated that he had
forged Todd's name to the sales
contract Later in the case, the
deputy attorney general said that
intent is almost impossible to prove
and that while it might appear that
IIickman's intent was to defraud
Todd who might have been held to
the contract, it was the finance
company that was actually de-
frauded.
Judge Hermann denied the ORR
einal motion to dismiss the indict-
ment
Other points were brought up by
defense attorneys-that it had not
actually been established that the
alleged forgery had been carried
out in Sussex County or even the
State of Delaware.
Judge Hermann, in his interro-
CATION of attorneys, mentioned that
several other persons connected
with the case might have had cause
II commit the forgery. Though the
deputy attorney general stressed
that Hickman, as head of the re-
frigeration company. would gain
the most by the forgery, Judge
Hermann brought up the sums to
be gained by others, saying that

New Buildings
Indicate City Growth

indicative of the improved &C.
onomic condition in Browning is
the construction of a number of
new buildings, which, when COM
pleted and in use, will be of
great importance to the business
and residential sections of the
community.
In addition to the new i'm
provements by the Teeples Mar
ket and American Legion Club,
noted elsewhere, the Mac Rea
Lumber company has erected a
new building on the highway,
just across the street from the
Lee Self Service, that will give
that company nice room for
displaying building material pro-
ducts, and office space. This
building is practically ready for
occupancy. And then there is
the new school building, which
will be great improvement to
the public school service, and a
fine addition to the town.
Several new residences are un-
der construction also, but the
need for housing is so great that
the new buildings now being
erected will scarcely make dent
in the urgent need for more
places for people to live.
The new program of the city
administration in making plans
for improving the water system,
and other needed improvements,
is also of great importance. If
the water bond issue is author
lied at the coming special cleo
ton, work should start on the
new system this fall. The engin-
eer is also working on a survey
from which he expects to set
permanent grades for sidewalks,
boulevards, and street grades
that will be of great assistance
to those contemplating new con-
struction, as they will be able
to determine street grades when
this improvement is eventually
put into effect. This is a long
range program, but a good one.
The new grading equipment
recently acquired by the Town
Council is doing a fine work, and
the streets are already showing
marked Improvement Many
streets that have not received
attention in long time are be-
ing graded and smoothed down,
and the improvement is not only
much needed, but much appre-
ciated by everyone.
Registration closed on Monday
of this week, Aug. 8, for the
special election on the proposed
bond issue. The names of eli
gible voters will be printed and
posted, and a date set for the
election, which will be announc-
ed soon.
Voters are urged to study the
plans for the new water system,
and if they find them practical,
to give active support in getting
out the required number of vot-
ers at the election, and seeing
to it that a big majority is given
the bond issue proposal.
The complete report of the en-
gineer on the potential water
supply and the building and
cost of the plant, will be pub
lished in this newspaper before
the election.

Bingo Stirs Largest City

Bingo Stirs Largest City
 The nations largest city is in- volved in rather amazing and farcial hassle over the game of bingo. Bingo has long been con- sidered a lottery, and outlawed in most parts of the country. In New York, in recent years, gbingo games have been getting by unmolested, especially when the games are car ried on by the various churches.
 In New York bingo has become a political issue, with some chur- ches trying to get license to car ry on the bingo games, which pro- duce much revenue, and those op- posed to lotteries of all kinds fighting ardently against opening the floodgates to a game of chance.
 As result, Mayor Wagner re- quested an opinion on the question from Corporation Counsel Peter Campbell Brown. Browns opinion passed the buck to the Police De partment. which had already pass ed the buck to City officials.
 Brown said bingo is generally a lottery, but had to have three ele- ments to be lottery; chance, pay ment of consideration for the chance, and a prize. He said that if any of these three elements are missing, the game might not be a lottery.
 Moreover, Brown put 1t up to the Police Department to go into these factors and determine which were there and which were not there. However, Police Commis- sioner Stephen Kennedy had said earlier that the police do not in.

Veteran \ Day

Veterans day is passed, but the message and it's significance should finger for some time to come. The focusing of our attention for one day on the veteran who in some cases gave his life for our continu- ed liberty, and others who suffer ed the hardships of war, but man. aged to live through it all, is hal lowed tribute most American are eager to pay.
 A cherished hope is that no more veterans need be created. The world and its complex problems may not allow for this in the scheme of things, but one fact re mains clear. Veterans of past wars are still with us. They should be given the consideration due them, Observance of Veterans Day has a two fold purpose. It brings to the mind of the youth of our coun- try love for country, loyalty to their flag. It instills in them a re spect for the man who endured the fires of war so that he too could enjoy life.
 The mere fact of being remem- bered is worth something.

terpret the laws, they only enforce them. and it is obvious that the police are not going into the law interpretation business Tn New York, or anywhere else.
 The result is that City officials and the elected Mayor of New York City are hedging on what 10 do about bingo in the nations largest city. The way bingo play CTS, and sponsoring organizations get around the law is to charge an admission fee at the door to blngo players and then let them play free. That eliminates one of the elements, the fee paid for blngo card, and enables them to escape police interference.
 If people want to play bingo, or indulge in any kind of lottery, there always seems to be a loop hole, if you but look for it.

sJt1uRet Just j5es Present Program

It is expected the 27 members of Congress (fourteen Republicans and thirteen Democrats who tour ed Soviet Russia this year to exert a big influence on legislative at titudes toward foreign policy at the next session, according to News week.
 The travellers represented all shades of political opinion (Ke- fauver to Malone). Yet they arriv- ed at almost identical conclusions about the strength, the intentions, and the growth of the Russian En- pire.
 In a general way, according to Newsweek, they decided that pre- sent U. s. foreign policy and mili- tary planning were on the right track. Their tendency will be to support the Administration.
 These are their conclusions: One, the Soviet Union is here to stay; hopes for revolutionary change in the Communist system are base less; two, The U. s. s. R. is not ready for a major war and won't be within the next few years; three. Russia is stronger economi- cally than the West realizes; four. it's ultimate objective, of course, is still world domination.
 This view of the Soviet Union. Newsweek concludes, tends to jus tify a long-range armament pro- gram, continued foreign aid, and an attempt to regularize U. S.-Rus- sian relations .'in the Geneva spirit"
 These conclusions bear out 8 contention of ours of many years standing. There is no fear of ar imminent war. The prospect of 2 war is always before us. Yet, we feel, it will be years before Russia or any other nation has built uT sufficient strength for attack. Tt achieve world domination, which according to the Congressional par ty members is still their ultimate objective, r e quir S tremendous power, armament strength and thu resources to be self contained at least at the beginning. Russia ha: all three, but still to a limited ex tent, and not for the tremendou: task of world domination. t"
 The accoutraments of war are not enough. The desire of the peo pie for war has to be there. Are the Russian people so imbued witt their theology as to be willing te fight for world domination ol that theology? We think not

Alaska,s Resources Should Be A Constitutional Focal Point

0tN0SH&&VGG%$s&& &&%a
 Many things have been done for us; even more has been done to us. But now something will be done by we AlaSkans."
 In these ringing words, former Governor Ernest Gruening of Al aska called upon the Constitutional Convention delegates to shape up a constitution for the new state that will be a shining example of what we call the American way of life. To say we have the potential of great new State is truism that cannot be denied. Seward did great deed for us when he ne- gotiated the purchase of Alaska. As the former governor says, many things have been done for us.' Wihh the writing of the constitu- tion begins new period when something will be done by we AL aSkanS
 Delegate Bob Bartlett sounded note of warning to the delegates that we feel was timely and of great import. Upon assuming statehood" he said, Alaska be- comes heir to 100 million acres of land and an additional undeter- mined acreage of submerged lands. A very high percentage of these lands will contain mineral re- sources of one kind or another"
 Where such vast resources po- tential exists one need not be clair voyant to fOrsee an influx of inter- ests wanting to develop these re- courses"
 The Delegate to Congress then warned that development must not be confused with exploitation at this time He pointed out that AL aska's resources, both mineral and fisheries, have been exploited to a great extent these many years. He mentioned two instances in partic- ular. The Kennecott Copper opera tiOn was only one instance of min eral development soley for the pur- pose of exploitation with no. con- cern for permanent and legitimate growth. Bartlett stated further: 'sThe decline of Alaska's once great fisheries is traceable in great de- gree to this same attitude with it's concept of ruthless plundering of a great natural resource without regard to the welfare of the mass of average citizens who make their living from the sea-
 Bartlett, in his concluding state ment, said: "A failure to write in- to fundamental law basic barriers to minimize fraud, corruption, non- development, and exploitation may well be viewed fifty years from ! now as this Constitutions greatest omission"
 The wisdom of the Delegates ob- Servations is obvious. Developing Alaska's great resources can be fraught with dangers. Principal among them, the grab" system of large companies. who thereby would have control of large hold ing without thought of their devel- opment until a future date, time that may be in the far distant fu- ture.
 Our conception of the future state of Alaska is not as wei fare state" but still with the hene-
