deported after the war,' Is also
under consideration by the com
mittee, as is a memorial asking
that the number of presidential
terms be limited to two.
The Senate Alcoholic Traffic
Committee introduced a bill
(SB-285) to prevent liquor li
censees temporarily under nui
sance abatement proceedings
from moving their property to
a new location except - under
bond; The committee cited that
putting "teeth" into the abate
ment law will stop proprietors
from moving to a nearby loca
tion and reopening for business.
Would Define Duties
The Senate yesterday passed
three bills to define duties of the
State Agriculture Department
and the State Board of Health,
particularly as regards food and
farm production.
A Senate bill (SB-29), result
ing from an interim committee
study, to create a new depart
men of Public Health instead of
the present board, remained in
committee.
The other bills (SB's 128, 177
and 242) would define the legis
lative policy of each of the two
departments and their jurisdic
tion; give the Public Health
Board control of eating and
drinking places, and give the
Agriculture Department control
of the milk industry while tak
ing away its powers over eating
places.
Sharp Objection
A bill to create Small Claims
Departments in Justice Courts
(HB-174) passed the House after
sharp and unexpected opposition
arose. Reps. Carl Francis and
Max Landon objected to the bill
on several grounds.
It would create the opportun
ity for small-time racketeers to
flourish, they said. They main
tained that every defendant was
entitled to his day in a real
court, and that the informal
Small Claims Courts would be
against . the "dignity" of the
bench.
A bill to place a tax on domes
tic as well as foreign Insurance
companies passed the House
(HB-390). It would also lower
the premium tax from 24 to 2
per cent. Rep. R. C. Frisbie said
that it was in conformity with
federal regulations, and the new
law may avert the loss . of as
much as $1,250,000 in revenues
yearly.
Another Insurance bill (HB-
391) also passed. It provides for
the adoption of new mortality
tables.

FU
TALKED AT FORUM
OF GIRL SCOUTS
Race relations, international
relations, the Dumbarton Oaks
plan for a United Nations or
ganization and many other
points were discussed Wednes
day evening at the "Y" club
when the Girl Scout council
sponsored a forum discussion of
' can youth of our nation con
tribute toward world peace to
morrow.
During the discussion the stu
dents advocated that political
and economic equality be grant
ed to all peoples as their human
right and it was proposed that
study of languages be more
widespread as a means of pro
moting international relations.
Developing this point the stu
dents said that unless persons
know the language of another
country they are handicapped in
getting first-hand information
that interpreters and translators
"color and perhaps influence
understanding. The - concrete
suggestion was made that for
eign language study' should be
gin in the grade schools.
The Dumbarton Oaks plan
was discussed and the opinion
given that whatever the plan
might be, it would always be
completely dependent upon the
good-will and perfect perform
ance of those behind it.
The students appeared to real
ize that knowing of a solution to
a problem does not necessarily
provide the opportunity to do
something about the problem.
One proposal was that the
legal status be granted at the
age of 18 and was backed by the
arguments that youth is being
drafted at the age of 18, asked to
assume very serious responsibili
ties and that income tax Is re
quired for money earned.
In answer to a question from
the floor "can youth and the
older generation work harmoni
ously together toward a common
goal the reply was "yes.
through such media as panel
discussions, conferences or sim
ilar occasions where the two
may meet and talk things over."
Mrs. Justin B. Smith was in
charge of the panel discussion
and participating were the
Misses June Williams, Faye
Mitchell, Elaine Walker, Maxine
McKinney and Gerald Pence
and Ferney McKibben.
