This touched off a remark by
another boy. "One example Of
this was in Philadelphia, where
the British spent a whole year

giving dinner parties" he said

Some students in the Ameri-

Discussions like this are ar
important part Of social studies

During these sessions, one

High Dam Plan
For Seneca
8 Projects Win
Approval for
Potomac Busin
By LEE FLOR
Star Staff Writer

A key Army Engineers re-
view board has recommended
construction Of the controver-
sial high dam and reservoir at
Seneca on the Potomac River.
The Seneca recommended
tons were part Of q proposal
for eight major reservoirs, esti-
mated to cost s242 million, on
the Potomac River and its tri-
butaries.
The recommendations call
for complete Congressional au-
thorization for about half Of q
$500 million, 16-reservoir Poto-
mac Basin plan recommended
last April, and ask for limited
congressional approval for
more study for the last half of
the basin plan.
The review board, the Board
Of Engineers for Rivers and
Harbors of the Army Corps Of
Engineers. made its recommen-
dations yesterday to 1t. Gen.
w. K. Wilson. chief Of the
Corps Engineers.
To Study Alternative
The Seneca recommended
tons call for careful study Of
an alternative for more elab-
crate sewage treatment and
distillation of water, together
with possible use Of water from
the Potomac estuary south of
Washington.
The Seneca dam and reser-
voir. estimated to cost. SIT
million, or over half the cost of
the "bobtailed" basin plan, Is
not recommended for compile
ton until 1877. However, adj
vance acquisition Of the site
may be authorized by Congress,
and this may start within q
few years.
The next step in the ella
borate process required for APP
proval of the basin plan is for
Gen. Wilson and his staff to
complete q preliminary report
to Congress.
This may be completed with
In three months. The prelimi-
nary report automatically. un-
der Federal legislation, goes for
review to the District Commits
sioners, the Governors Of
Maryland. Virginia, Pennsyl-
vania ond West Virginia, and
to key Federal agencies.
/ 0fbsr Dams In Plan
The other major reservoirs,
estimated cost, and the pro-
posed completion date for con-
struction, are as follows:
Royal Glen, w. Va, $S2.5
million, 1868: Chambersburg,
Pa, $3.50 million. 1863; Staun-
ton. Va, $40 million, 1870; Six
Bridge, Md. $15.5 million.
1871; West Branch, Pa. $13.S
million. 1917; Brooks Gap, Va,
$1s2 million, 1878; Winchester,
Va, So million, 1874.
A ninth major reservoir, at
Bloomington on the boundary
between Maryland and West
Virginia. already has been au-
thoriSed. It has q tentative
completion date Of 1865.
The Seneca Dam has been
heavily opposed in the WASH

need about $4,000 acres Of land
in Maryland and Virginia. 1t

House Unit Backs
Broker License Bill
Measure Plans
Protection for
D. c. Investors

A bill aimed to protect Wash
ington investors from inept or
security dealers
was reported out today by a
House District subcommittee.
Under the legislation, the
brokerage firms and statesmen
would be controlled through
licensing. bonding and capital
ization regulations.
The subcommittee. headed
by Representative Abernethy,
Democrat of Mississippi, held
hearings earlier this year on
the proposed protective meas
ures.
The subcommittee action
today was to approve a bill
introduced by Representative
Springer, Republican of Illi-
nois. but with several amend
ments.
The legislation now goes be-
fore the full House District
Committee. The bill gives
jurisdiction over the invest
ment firms to the District Pub
lie Utilities Commission. This
agency's me would be
changed to the Public Service
Commission.
Key Provisions
Key protection controls car
ried in the subcommittee bill
include:
Licensing of local brokerage
houses and their statesmen; a
bonding requirement of $25,-
900 for the firms THE Spring.
er bill had proposed that the
bond be 100000; and require
ment that the investment
firms maintain a minimum
capitalization of $4,000. The
bill as introduced provided for
a minimum capital require
ment of $4,000.
The legislation carries pro-
visions for denying, suspend
ing and revoking permits.
Mr.. Springer introduced his
bill after The Stars Investors
Beware" series last year
spelled out the need for local
controls to protect the public
from unqualified or shady
brokerage firms.
Almost all of the States
have some type of local securi-
ties-control legislation on
their statute books.
LOOphOles Now Present
Sponsors of the bill have
stated that Federal laws al
present do not give investors
the protection that can be pro-
vided through local regula-
| tionS.
The subcommittee today
wrote in an amendment aimed
at erasing the jurisdictional
question over which agency
should control the activities of
statesmen who handle both con-
ventional life insurance policies
and variable annuity policies,
which are similar to mutual
fund securities.
The subcommittee decided on
dual Jurisdiction, with inSur-
ance men continuing to report
to the Districts insurance of
flee on conventional policies
and to the new Public Service
Commission on variable an
nuity policy matters.
The subcommittee today cut
back from two years to one
year the length of time that
the licenses would run before
being subject to renewal.

The
Rambler
Examines
Second Amendment
By GEORGE KENNEDY

The second article of the
10 original amendments. the
Bill of Rights Of the Con-
stitution Of the United
States, reads:
"a well regulated militia
being necessary to the Sc
curity of of a free State, the
right Of the people to keep
and bear arms shall not be
infringed.
The term Bill of Rights"
and the provisions for the
right to bear arms come
from the English Bill of
Rights passed by Parlia-
ment after the bloodless
revolution of 1888 which
placed william, the Duke of
Orange and his wife, Mary,
daughter of the deposed
James II, on the throne.
The English bill of rights
was a limitation imposed by
Parliament over the power
of the monarchy.
In his final futile efforts
to preserve his authority,
James had assembled a force
Of 10000 men at Hounslow
Heath.
The maintenance of a
standing army in peacetime
became regarded as an in
strument of regal tyranny.
Along with trial by jury
and indictment by grand
juries, the right to bear arms
was written into the revolu-
tionary document.
This provision, a century
older than our constitu-
tional amendment, did not
prevent Britain from be-
coming an unarmed COM
munity.
Recently a bank robber
was shot and killed by a
bank guard in England.
This was generally consid-
cred unfortunate and the
Guardian asked why bank
guards we're allowed to
carry pistols when the po-
lice were not.

MANY OF THE provisions
of our Bill of Rights con-
corning freedom of religion,
freedom of speech and free
dom Of me press were sug-
gested and debated In the
constitutional convention
In Philadelphia in 1887.
They were rejected be-
cause. 1t was felt that
denying certain powers
to the Federal Government
they were creating would
imply that otherwise IL
would have such power. The
Federal government was to
have no powers except those
enumerated in the doument.
When the Constitution
went to the States-it was
to 60 into effect when nine
of the IS had ratified it.
it was understood that sug-
gested amendments would
be considered by the Con-
gress It was creating.
More than 200 amend
ments were suggested by
the State conventions. Many
suggested the same thing in
different words. The pro-
visions had to do with reli-
gion, right Of petition, right
of assembly, right to bail.
These amendments were
all limitations on the power
of the Federal government,
not on the States. The prob
lem was not easy. Present
day shibboleths such as
freedom of religion" and
separation of church and
State" would not get the
first Congress over the
the passes of Jordan.

Record Against CIV

Two games later SchweIckert
set a Southern Conference rec
ord with a 96-yard run from
scrimmage against Wake For
est. He finished the season
with 5I3 yards total offense.
Sixth In Nation
After three games this sea-
son he is one yard shy Of that
standard with 512 yards, 27O
rushing and 242 passing. He
presently ranks sixth in the
Nation in total offense. Jim
Camp. the CIV head CO ach.
and Assistants Bob FruIla and
Bobby Collins. drove to Roa-
.noke last Saturday to watch
VPI beat Virginia, 1910 and
came away impressed more
than somewhat.
"Schweickert runs the option
pass-run better than any quar-
.terback I've seen since I've
been at CIV" Camp said Sun
day. Yesterday he amended
that statement to read Eat least
better than since Eddie Feeley
of Florida State" his first ad-
versary as a new head coach in
1861.
Fast Enough
Schweickert has enough
speed to keep out Of trouble. Is

short or deep ana is averaging
Ss.s yards per punt.
The punting average is Sec
ond best in the conference, but

weakness. He's not much Of a

falls in front Of people.
