Dave Buckson
Sworn In AS
New Governor
Several "Firsts" For
First State" Racked
Up AS He Steps Up To
Governors Post.

The State of Delaware will ac-
Friday, when Lieutenant Governor
David P. Buckson succeeds Cover
nor J. Caleb Boggs, and, in the
process, several new ''firsts' will
be racked up for the First State. !"
Not only will Mr.. Buckson be
the first lieutenant governor in
Delaware history to succeed to the
governship-without being elected
to the states top office-but also
is slated to serve the shortest term
ever served by a Delaware COVER
nor-the 18 days between Decem-
ber 80, 1860, and the inauguration
of Governor-electt Elbert n. Car
vel on January Is, 1861.
According to Leon de Valinger,
Jr., state archivist, no lieutenant
governor prior to Buckson has
succeeded directly to the governor
ship. The first lieutenant COVER
nor was elected in 1900 and since
that time no governor has resign
ed nor has any died in office.
Under earlier rules of success
sion to the governorship, before
the state had the office of lieuten-
ant governor, there were several
brief gubernatorial terms but none
were under month.
The shortest term previously
was that of Thomas Mexican, who
served as president" of Delaware
from September IL to October 20,
1777. McKean's term spanned the
time between the capture by the
British of John McKinly and the
qualifying of his successor, George
Read, to be acting president"
The second shortest term previ-
ously was that of John Maull, who

ing built in Honolulu. Customs
hopes eventually to extend it
to San Francisco and Los An
geles.
But one problem comes for
the passenger when what the
airlines term "f1yovers" occur.
Then he is likely to encounter
less efficient facilities.
Weather Problems
A man who has streaked from
Paris in a fast jet late at night
finds New York's Idlewild Air
port "weathered in"
Although Newark and La
Guardia airports are close at
hand, and at least Newark is
open. he is flown to the alter
nate port of Boston. There. Gus
toms men are routed out Of
bed to make sure nobody is
cheating his country. If he is
lucky, this won't take too long.
Sometimes he is not lucky.
If the tourist has arrived
from airports at Nassau. Mon
treal, Toronto or Winnipeg, he
doesn't have to bother with
customs. He steps from the air.
craft a free man.
The reason for this is a pro-
cedure known as "preclear-
ance." Customs, immigration,
agriculture and health make
their inspections before the
traveller boards the airplane.
Preclearance was begun six
years ago in the airport at
Montreal, for flights headed for
various points in the United
States. 1t has been in effect
three years in Toronto and a
year in Winnipeg. 1t will begin
in Vancouver as soon as facili-
ties are completed.
More Preclearance
1t went into effect in Nassau
last August. If negotiations are
completed by then. it will start
this october in Bermuda
where immigration and health
authorities already preclear
the traveller.
The airlines would like to
see the practice extended to
whatever European airports
shake down into major points
for jet travel to the United
States.
A major preclearance ad-
vantage to the airline is that
it would open up more landing
points within the United States
for regular routes. If. for ex-
ample, it became economically
feasible to fly a zig-zag route
from Montreal to Toledo to
Columbus to Cincinnati. the
airline could apply for such a
route in the knowledge it
wouldn't have to haul of Co.
lumbus-bound passengers at
Toledo for inspection.
Customs officials feel. how
ever, that extension Of the
preclearance system to far
away points is impractical.
Expensive Process
One principal objection Is
the expense. The Bureau Of
Customs would in many cases
have to pay for housing and
living expenses Of its employees
abroad. Another ticklish prob
lem is that at points outside
the United States and its ter
ritories. customs men have no
power of seizure or arrest.
Some airline spokesmen feel
that the age-old bugaboo-in-
adequate facilities for inspec-
ton - might prove a further
deterrent to expansion Of the
preclearance system.
They say also that it's diff
cult enough as 1t is. getting
the passenger to the airport
in time to board a plane, with
out getting him there in time
to go through inspection.

to his discomfort. But unfor-
tunate and outmoded circum-
stances within the control Of
man, many travel experts feel,
still can make his expected
happy homecoming unnecessar-
lily miserable.
The age of jets has speeded
his travel and compounded his
difficulties.
Sweeping improvements have
been made, and more are in
prospect. But it does little good
to tell the returning traveller
THAT vast Improvements have
been made or are being con-
sidered when he faces what to
him are these annoyances:

popularity known as "go through
customs" he actually meets

2. Inspection facilities In
many cases are woefullv in
adequate.
8. While he has breeZed

by flashing his United States
passport and saying simply
that he has nothing to declare,
he finds the customs inspector

II think the youngsters and

Law Enforced

nance which makes 1t illegal
to sleep in or change clothing
In cars. BY rigidly enforcing
this law, police have been able
to curb the midnight drinker
who woke up refreshed and

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va, Aug
27.-This resort city. which was
plagued by misbehaving mice"
boys from inland cities last
season, has curbed the problem
in 1860.
Police Chief Reeves E. john
son attributed the improve
ment to various factors - an
augmented police force, severe
court penalties and publicity.
During the 1859 resort sea-
son, Virginia Beach was
plagued by youths on week end
Sprees. College students in their
20s created problems. During
one week end lis persons were
arrested, mostly for disorderly
conduct.

too many Richmond young
sters are allowed to come here

the parents would be surprised
