Pennsylvania Loses
Old Laws
HARRISBURG, </P) — It may
come as a blow to anti-horse thief
societies but Pennsylvania legisla
tors are repealing a 128-year-old
law against horse stealing.
It’s part of a move to rid the
state's legal code of ancient, out
moded statutes.
The house okayed a repealer to
wipe out “an act to encourage the
apprehension of persons who shall
have committed the crime of horse
stealing.”
Also approved were bills re-!
pealing:
1. A law “prohibiting the dis-j
charge from public posts of Union
soldiers without reasonable cause.”
2. An act providing “enumera- ■
tion of taxable inhabitants and
slaves within this commonwealth.”
3. A law giving fishermen per
mission to catch terrapin, a form
of turtle, on Sundays.

COUNCIL DISCUSSES
SEAWALL PROBLEMS
In general meeting Monday
night the Nome council discussed
the big problems confronting the
city in relation to the breakwater.
A letter from the engineer’s of
fice in Seattle informed the city i
that there were many clauses and
responsibilities which the city
would have to take up and com
plete before the construction of
the breakwater could begin.
One important phase of the sit
uation was getting permission to
quarry rock frorp the Cape Nome
district.. The property is in the
hands of the CAA and ACS who
operate radio facilities in the area.
Another problem will be the
obtaining of a waiver from each
property holder for rights to build
the structure on or near the south
limits of lot lines, throughout the
length of the breakwater.
The city is also responsible lor
the annual maintenance of the
breakwater and is required to
show the engineers that the city is
capable and has the necessary re- j
sources to carry on.
• Councilman Osborne, in report
ing on the cemetery clean-up,
stated that the project should get
underway the coming week. He
stated that a general meeting
would be called and that commit
tees would take charge of various
parts of the project. It was plan
ned to survey the present graves
and markers, remove the markers
and level the, entire cemetery by
bulldozer, and then replace the
grave markers. The city voted
$500 for the project.

Russia is slated to give her ans
wer today to a western proposal
of a four-power economic com
mission to govern East-West trade
in divided Germany.
The proposal was laid before the
foreign ministers council in Paris
yesterday. Soviet foreign minister
Andrei Y. Vishinskv has asked
for another secret session today
and is believed to have consulted
his government on the issue.
The proposed East-West com
mercial accord, according to in
formed circles, calls for Russian
guarantees of free transport rights
to and from Berlin. It also pro
vides for an agreed exchange rate
for East and West marks to facili
tate exchange of commodities be

zones.
There seemed no prospect of
any agreement on German politi
cal issues between the Soviet Un

These issues will be handed to
deputy foreign ministers to dis
