Virginia Filing
Brief in River
Dispute Today
By the Associated Press

| ny tuO AoooCAoteu Etoao
A brief supporting its request
that the United States SUI
preme Court should accept q
bin Of complaint against Mary
land over fishing rights in the
Potomac River was to be filed
with the court today.
The dispute arose after
Maryland abrogated the Po-
ltomac River Compact Of 1875,
which gave residents Of both
States equal fishing rights in
1.-THE river. Maryland also en-
acted legislation giving It the
sole right to issue fishing liz
censes for the river, and re-
quiring Virginians to buy
Maryland licenses.
The brief, signed by Virginia
Attorney General Kenneth G.
Patty and one Of his assistants,
&c. F. Hicks. lists four reasons
why the court should take
Jurisdiction.
Reasons Enumerated
It says the compact between
1.-THE two States is a contract.
and even though both States
altered some sections Of the
compact by their ratification
of the United States Consti-
tuition, they did not in any way
change the provisions Of the
compact dealing with fishing.
Mr.. Patty contends the alb
rogation act and the new Mary
land laws covering fishing Ii
censes mot only impair the OBJ
legation Of q contract, but at
tempt to completely nullify and
destroy q contract which has
been In existence for 172
years"
Virginia has q direct property
right and interest in the pro-
ceedings, Mr.. Patty said, be-
cause Maryland, in attempting
to repeal the compact unilater-
tally. is interfering with the ri
parian and fishing rights of
both Virginia and its citizens.
He said both Of these rights are
property rights.
IAN actual controversy exists
between the Commonwealth of
Virginia and the State of
Maryland and, therefore, this
|. court has jurisdiction over
the instant suit and should
grant the Commonwealth of
Virginia leave to file its bill Of
complaint" the brief said.
Maryland Contention
Maryland contended earlier
Supreme Court decisions estab-
lished that the court should not
consider what is called an
Original proceeding by one
State on behalf of a group of
its citizens and not in the in
terest of the State ITSELF"
Mr.. Patty said the law CIV
ing complete licensing power
to Maryland constitutes a di-
rect and substantial injury to
Virginia as a sovereign State.
The motion by Virginia to
file a bill of complaint was
made September 10. At that
time. Virginia asked the court
to decree that the compact is
forever binding on both States,
subject to amendments only by
mutual consent.
The court also was asked to
issue a temporary restraining
order prohibiting Maryland
from enforcing the act of abro-
cation, and from temporarily
enforcing the other new laws,
until the dispute has finally
been settled by the court.
In a decision October IA, the
court refused to issue the re-
straining order. but has not
yet acted on Virginia's motion
for leave to file its bill of COM
plant.

Girls Help Make Denmark

reason why Denmark is about the
cigar smokingest country in the
world.
And lest such cities as Havana,
Cuba; Tampa, Fla, and Philadel-

In 1855 so many cigars were lit
up in Denmark that the total smok-
ed average 100 for each inhabitant
in this nation of AZ million.
OF thiS 100 average, about 140
were of the cigarillo or cheroot va
rieties-the types preferred by the
woman smoker. Men, of course,
also smoke these smaller cigars so
the figures don't mean women
smoke more than men.
Most of the women smokers are
middle aged or elderly. Some Dam

were hard to come by and cigars
could be rolled from home grown

Washington Letter -- By Robert Nelson Taylor

in the way of getting the Govern
ment out of business.
In passing the bill without the
obstructive Section All of the origi-
nal House bill, Congress has clear

ment to divest itself speedily of
those activities, mostly in the cate
CORY Of small business" that
threaten the very existence of
thousands of privately-fnanced
tax-paying enterprises coffee
roasting plants, motor repair and
typewriter shops, paint factories
and a long list OF others. The OBJ
noxious and discredited Section All
would have required the Secretary
of Defense to secure the approval
of Congress on the termination of
most of these business-type activi-
ties. AS matters stand, the Depart
ment is now on its own, free to
move as speedily as it can in scotch
ing these threats to our national
system of free enterprise. In view
of the expressed desire and inten-
tion of the Department to pare
down its manpower, it is fair to ex-
pect these competitive installations
to be uproOted and cast out right
and left
But just in case there is undue
foot-dragging from the bureaucrats
who would like to keep their fat
cat, non competitive jobs and re-
tain their command over thousands
of Government-suppO workers,
those same businessmen who block
ed Section All will want to stay
on watch.
In fact, National Associated
Businessmen has asked in a re-
cent bulletin that members who
are being hurt by Defense Depart
ment competition" submit reports
on their situations and the associ-
alton will undertake to make
proper representations to the Pen
tagon and find out what can be
done.
We think that every business and
trade association in the broad field
of American free enterprise would
do well 20 advise its members SIM

BABSON DISCUSSES THE 1857 US. CROP OUTLOOK

Babson Park, Mass, Sept. 5. Ex-
cept in few more or less restrict
ed areas, weather and crop con-
ditions have improved materially
in recent weeks. The outlook now
is for a total U. S. crop production
close to the relatively high average
of the last five years. Here are a
few highlights in the overall pic
ture, as / see them.
Wheat And some Other Grains
l look for a 1857 u S. total wheat
crop of around 915,000,000 bushels
down per cent from the 1856
outrun and nearly 20 per cent m-
der the 1945-1955 average. This is
still a relatively large crop, since
N seven of those years production
topped one billion bushels by size
able margins. The current crop
comes on the heels of a total y. S.
carry over on July 1 of 9O5,0O0,OO0
.bushels-practically enough for a
whole seasons normal require
ments. Most of this wheat, however,
is in government hands and will
not glut commercial channels. /
do not believe the current crop will
prove burdensOme.
Mother Nature has been kind to
several of the other grains. Out
turns of barley, f1axseed, oats, and
rye may exceed the 1945-1956 aver
age-barley by 4S per cent. fiaxseed
by z per cent, oats by per cent,
and rye bv 20 per cent. Total SUD-
plies of these grains for 1957-1958
will lean toward the easy side.
American housewives should have
plenty of new. clean-sweeping
hrooms this year because the in
dicated crop of broomcorn is well
above average. However. popcorn

hog or else!
Never before have so many peo-
pie talked so much about dieting
and losing weight, the doctors adj
init. But they complain that prac-
tically all of us, males included
are more concerned about how we
look than how we feel. We are a
soft touch for the reducing quacks
and for dangerous notrums that
promise quick and easy restoration
of our pristine beauty and grace ol
| figure. We refuse to recognize the
vital necessity of good health and
the illnesses that spring from OBJ
esity or result from reckless reduc-
ing.
According to the qualified, medi-
cally-trained avoidupois experts
the only trick in effective loss OF
weight is the re-training of ouI
overactive appetites. We've got to
learn just what foods are adding
that fat, develop the fortitude to
give them up, and make our new
eating habits permanent!
This is a large order for anyone
who likes to tuck his napkin under
his chin and let the gravy spatteI
where it may. But the medical pro-
fession recognizes that the weak
willed dieter-and who isn't-needs
some help. Among the scientific re-
ports presented to the meeting was
that of new drug called Preludir
l-obtainable and used only under
a physicians prescription--that has
enabled reducers to lose as much as
four times more weight than those
on diet alone.
The overweight should start re-
forming with visit to the doctor
| He is the only one who can plan
a personal, safe, medically sound
campaign to restore a good appear
ance and protect the health.

ing that we're rail-. ing our forces

Victory For Business
The snail's pace at which reluc-
tant bureaucrats have been whittl-
ing down Uncle Sans SIS billion
dollar investment in 1926 Govern
ment-owned business-type activi-
ties and curtailing this impossibly
unfair competition with tax-payine
private businesses, may now be
stepped up.
In response to letters and tele-
grams and personal protests from
businessmen all over the nation

organizations and notably by Ma
tional Associated Businessmen) a
conference committee on the Mill
tary Construction threw out the

cent years have learned well the
art of intensive cultivation. Even
on the smallest planted acreage in
many years, high per-acre yields
this year may give them a crop of
about 100000 bales. This would
be sizeable, although considerably
less than indicated domestic con-
sumption and exports in 1957-1958.
This points to another substantial
cut in the still big carryover next
August l. Prices mag weaken mod
erately during the heavy marketing
season in the weeks ahead, but
should recover thereafter.
Despite record-high soybean acre
age, the 1857 U. S. crops currently
estimated at 428,OOO,OO0 bushels
is 6 per cent below the 1856 record
outturn, but So per cent above the
ten year average. Since stocks in
all positions were recently at a
record peak, there should be no
dearth of soybeans in the crop year
beginning October l. There is no
basis for sustained price strength
at present, barring serious crop
damage
Farm Income Outlook
Farmers realized net income in
the first half of this year was at
an annual rate of about $12,100,-
600 ,OOO-up 21a per cent from the
corresponding 1856 figure. Whether
the second half will record a fur
ther gain is doubtful, in view Of
the rising trend of production costs
and the difficulty of Offsetting them
through the practice of further
economies. The efficient farmer.
with weil-diversified crops. should,
however, fare as well as the aver
age manufacturer or merchant.

Dear Friends:
Years and years ago when my
brother was a student at the Uni
gersity of Delaware (and won't he
love that!) we used to go as fam
lily To Atlantic City to see the col
lege team play football at Conven-
tion Hall. / can vaguely remember
seeing Navy VS.. Delaware and
watching the parade of the Anna
polls boys before the game and
during the half. 1t must have been
some 19 years ago and that was the
last time / had been in Atlantic
City.
Most Air Force people visit their
parents during a leave one year and
every other year they take trips. AS
you know, when Hayes and l get
time off from the service we head
towards Delaware. So this leave we
decided to combine our trips with
going home to Delaware. We saw
Toronto enroute and while we were
home we went to Washington. ID.
c., Williamsburg, Virginia, and on
August the 8th we boarded our
SAC Aero Club Tri-Pacer and flew
TO Atlantic City, New Jersey. We
asked Jeanette and Penn lsaacs
to go with us. Often when we GO
on trips and ask our friends to
come along on the flight, usually
their interest quickly diminishes.
We have two male members in our
family who are like that-Ted, my
brother, and Bill Minner, my bro
ther-in-law. They are miserable in
plane, a small plane anyway.
Jeanette and Penn enjoyed see
ing the Delaware coast line, Dover
Air Base from a birds eye view
watching the fishing boats in the
Bay and going up the east coast OF
New Jersey to Atlantic City. We
landed at the airport almost in At.
lantic City proper and Hayes was
not the least little bit dismayeC
when he saw an airplane wreck Of
the runway as we glided safely tC
our tie-dOwn spot. He always re.
minds me of the dozens and dozens
of auto accidents and how few il
percentage are the plane accidents
We all know it's true, but there are
some of us who just aren't as ali
minded as we ought to be in this
generation. I'm one of them, bu

appetites for this item; planted
acreage is IA per cent below aver
age.
Corn, Dry Beans, and Rice
The outlook for the nations corn
crop is relatively good, but the
outturn, which is estimated at
around 3,O66, 100000 bushels, may
be about 10 per cent under last
year and slightly below average.
Weather between now and harvest
time must, of course, be reckoned
with. Supplies will be easily ade-
quate for the 1957-1958 season,
since total corn stocks recently
were at an all-time high for the
date, al 1858, 100000 bushels If
the hog-corn feed ratio remains as
favorable as it is now-16.7 to L
a lot of corn will be fed this fall
and winter. Meanwhile, old-crOp
corn prices may average somewhat
higher, but l forecast some sea
sonal weakness in new-crop corn
this fall.
The outlook for dry bean produc-
tion is less favorable than a year
ago. The crop, which is harvested
in the fall, may be around only
$500 900 bags-down 5 per cent
from the 1856 outturn and per
cent under the tenyear average.
Since the carryover will be rela-
lively small, total supplies for 1857
1858 should not be expensive. The
indicated u. s. rice crop OF 40 ,50O,-
600 bags 600 pounds each) is
15 per cent under the 1856 out
turn and the smallest croD since
1850. This could mean a fairly tight
statistical position sometime next
year.

Wei Ont Of II

In his rebuke to the USSR for
the 'scornful words" of its ennis
sary to the London disarmament
conference, Valerian Zorin, in re-
iecting the Vests five-point dis
armament package before the gift
wrapping was completed, Presi-
dent Eisenhower displayed a right
eous anger that is understandable,
and a depth of regret that is not.
1t should be recalled that a mat
ter of hours before the 80 minute
Zorin blast in London, Moscow an
nounced the successful test-firing
of a 5000 mile intercontinental bal
listic missile, and followed this
news with threats that the West
had better meet the USSR half
way and that the rocket had shat
tered the U. S. "delusion" that it
could defeat Russia at arms.
After noting the Zorin attack
on the sincere efforts of Canada,
France, United Kingdom and U. S.
to present "a rounded and inter
dependent first-stage proposal" and
the Reds coincidental "boastful
statement" on the IBCM, the Presi-
dent declared: ''It would be tragic
if these important first-stage pro-
posals, fraught with such signiff-
canoe for the peace of the world,
were rejected by the Soviet Union
even before they could have been
seriously studied and before the
Western presentation is complete.
Such a Soviet attitude would con-
denim humanity to an indefinite
future of immeasurable danger.
Now, the Western presentation
has been completed-an has been
rejected out-of-hand. After five flu
tile months, humanity turns it's
gaze from London back to that 'in-
definite future of immeasureable
danger. The outlook is unchanged; 4;
no better, and but little if any
worse.
What would have been worse
disastrously worse-would have
been to reach an agreement with
the Kremlin that would have dis
armed the West. There was never
any chance of achieving any other
| kind.
If they had been less arrogant,
the Reds could have made much
bigger fools of us. We have been
saved by their insolence.
