The resignation of the
three clubs was an outgrowth
of dissatisfaction in some
quarters over recent changes
in the federation's bylaws.
Under the revised rule, any
woman eligible to vote in the
federation through more than
one Office must choose which
position she will represent by
her vote"
Mrs. Wiley said board
members had mistakenly
believed" that the Women's
City Club had "lost its vote
because our president
CMrs. Mccall Henderson
1mes), who is also the presi-
dent of the Political Study
Club, can only vote in one
capacity"
Has 6 Votes
She stressed, however, that
the Women's City Club ac-
tually is entitled to six votes
at the federation's annual
meeting, exclusive Of the vote
Of its president.
AS a club of 100 or more
members, it has three direc-
tors, or their alternates, who
may vote at any federation
meeting, and three delegates,
or their alternates, who are
elected by the club to parti-
cipate in the annual meeting.
Mrs. Wiley, who is a past
president Of the City Club,
also is entitled to a vote as a

BULLISH RESPONSE

The stock markets response TO failure at
the summit was in bullish direction. Steel
and other so-called defense issues rose more
than most other stocks under the threat of an
intensifcation of the cold war.
To the casual observer this might seem
confirmation Of the argument that the econ
omy must have the undergirding of defense
expenditures. But this is only half truth.
For while the defense outlay totals over 40
billions this is still less than 10 per cent of
the gross national product.
The argument becomes academic with the
announcement from Washington that no inn
mediate increases in defense spending are
contemplated. What will undoubtedly have a
greater effect than the present crisis, as far
as stock prices are concerned, is word that
the Federal Reserve is considering a reduc-
tion in margin requirements. Margins now
stand at 80 per cent rate. Were they to be
dropped to so per cent, interest in stocks
would be stimulated.
While the Reserve Board might have
other reasons for this action, the bull mar
ket should be major benefactor. Further
more, the specter of imitation might again
come to play role in investor thinking. AS
the investor reacts to recent events, stocks
could be sought after as they have not been
for some months.

LOOKING FOR PEACH PITS

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. up - With
the coming of the peach season,
Laurie Bennett figures to be bus
ier than ever with his hobby.
Bennett carves trinkets out of
peach pits. He makes rings,
crosses, earrings and Stars of Da-
vid, which he distributes to hos
pitals to help cheer up the pa
tients.
Bennett ran out of pits last fall
and has been searching for sup
plies ever since. He found some at
a factory in Georgia, but they
were unsatisfactory for carving be-
cause the grain wasn't right
Then he wrote to a canning fac
tory in Sanger, Calf, and receiv-
ed a sample that was just what he
wanted The factory offered to ship
him all the pits he wanted. at SO
a ton plus freight.
Bennett thinks a supply might
be available. closer to home. and
for less.

soon as that mans hand had left

AERIAL INSPECTION

The U-2 incident and the new-busted
summit conference may serve, in the end, to
spotlight the problem of aerial inspection.
While the Soviet Union has already pre-
sented its complaint to the United Nations,
over u. S. reconnaissance flights in Soviet
skies, President Eisenhower has promised to
bring the issue of aerial inspection to the
fore, and he says he will go to the United
Nations with this proposal.
In the turmoil concerning the U-2 incl
dent, and Washington's amateur handling
of the case, what with conflicting statements,
etc., the Importance of Mr.. Eisenhowers
proposal for aerial inspection has been some
what overlooked.
Yet this can be made major issue, and
all u. S. information services, and our allies,
should cooperate to emphasize this theme in
our relations with the other countries of the
world A proposal which would allow for the
aerial inspection of each country, done under
United Nations auspices, possibly, would
provide safeguard to all countries-a safe
guard against surprise attack.
This is a popular proposal and would be
welcomed by most of the people of the world,
and President Eisenhower should hammer
away at this theme consistently, and make
it the issue-rather than the U-2 incident.

Following an investigation into
the death last Wednesday of
Ernest Fisher, so, Quakertown,
Lewes, which state police said was
caused by cyanide poisoning, his
S5-year-old wife, Margaret, has
been committed to the Delaware
State Hospital at Farnhurst.
Investigators at the Georgetown
troop said Mrs. Fisher has ad-
mitted placing the poison in as
paragus soup eaten by her hus-
band at an evening meal.
Police said as a result of an ex-
animation, given Mrs. Fisher by
two physicians, she had been
ordered sent to the hospital. They
said she has been given no pre-
liminary hearing on any charge.
Fisher was taken i'll following
the meal and upon examination
by a physician was ordered to
Beebe Hospital, Lewes, where he
died about half an hour after ad-
mittance.
When findings disclosed the
cause of death, it was decided
to question Mrs. Fisher who
police said is highly emotional.
She was eventually taken before
Sussex County Deputy Atty. Gen.
Frederick p. Whitney at George
town and after further interro-
cation was released. A few days
later she was again interrogated

detectives who said she broke"
and admitted the offense.

termination of moles, rats and

Fisher home, they said they did
not know who had puchased 1t.
Mrs. Fisher, they said, claimed
she did not mean to kill her hus-
band and only wanted to make
him sick SO that he would have
to be dependent upon her. Police
said Mrs. Fisher had been mar
ried before.
Fisher was employed as a net
mender by Lewes Fish factory.

LEGISLATORS IN A VACUUM

A considerable time ago the Internal Rev
enue Service ruled that business expenditures
for advertising and lobbying which have a
bearing on legislative matters cannot be
considered legitimate business expense and
so are not deductible for income tax pur-
poses. The primary target has been the
electric utility industry which is literally in
volved in a struggle for survival with the
Socialized power groups. However, other
enterprises have been affected too.
The IRIS, despite many protests and ex-
tended hearings, has refused to change its
position So, it is believed Congress must
act Representative Boggs has proposed the
addition of paragraph to the Internal Rev.
enue Code reading as follows: Expenses
lawfully incurred in supporting or opposing
or otherwise influencing legislation in the
Congress or in States legislature or in the
legislative body of a county or other local
governmental agencies or in submission of
proposed legislation to the voters, shall be
allowed as proper deductions from gross in
come"
Nowadays legislative questions are often
the most important questions with which
business must deal-and the utilities are
certainly not alone in this. If business can't
express its view on critical legislative mat
ters, except at heavy tax penalty, we have
accepted censorship by taxation-which
must be repugnant to everyone who believes
in free speech, free press, and freedom
generally.

ANOTHER JUNE

Although it seems hard to believe the ar
rival of June brings US almost to the half
way point of 1860. BY the end of June, a
fiscal year will have been completed, and
1860 will be entering its last half.
The month of June brings with it sum-
mer, commencementS, weddings, school va
cations and beautiful weather, and is thus,
perhaps, the most welcomed of all the
months In this month the days are longer
than during any other month of the year !;
there is more daylight and less darkness.
June is not month of birthday anniver-
saries for famous Americans, but it con-
tains many patriotic days. The anniverSar
les or the Battle of Bunker HILL fought on
June II, 1775, is observed in Boston.
The United States Government actually
began in the month Of June, 1888, when New
Hampshire ratified the Constitution, the last
article of which provided that, upon ratifi-
cation by nine states, the establishment of
the Constitution between the states would be
effected
The first American troops to land in
France in World War l landed in June, on
the 18th of the month, in 1917.
But United States force was defeated
on June 25, 1876, when Lieutenant Colonel
George A. Custer and 208 men were massa-
cred at the Little Big Horn River in Montana.
World War | was actually precipitated in
June of 1914, when, on the 28th-a Sunday
-Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the
throne of Austro-Hungary, was assassinated
at Sarajevo, Bosnia.
Fathers Day also falls in June, as does
@the birthday of the first and only President
of the Cenfederacy, Jefferson Davis.
But the main attraction of June is that
it brings long days and summer, commence
ments and vacations, and-most important
of ala new crop of June brides.
