!, pessimistic note was injected into tn,
farm relief hearing Of the senat.
agriculture committee today by c
Clemens Horst. Of San Francisco, whit
expressed doubt that any genera
farm relief law would be enacted dur.
ing the coming special session o.
congress. The committee members
however. made it clear that they die
not share this view.
Chairman McNary read q telegram
from Secretary Hyde which expressed
doubt that he would be able to reach
Washington by Monday when the
committee hoped to hear his views or
farm relief. McNary said, however
that he would arrange to give the
cabinet member an opportunity ia
testify when he does return.
Kansas Man Appears
The house agriculture committee
heard John Vesecky. of the Kansas
wheat marketing cooperative asso-
citation, urge legislation which would
make 1t Of advantage to farmers to
organize.
Horst told the senate committee
that it was difficult for any witness
to talk before the committee because
neither the president nor congress
seemed to know just what relief plan
was wanted. Too many plans are be-
ing advocated, Horst said, and most
of them ARE no good"
II am not at all hopeful we are
going to get anything" he declared.
You are alone In that view," re-
piled Senator Norbeck, Of North Da-
kota.
Horst said that all the farm relief
that was needed was q tariff high
enough to shut out one-half of the
amount Of farm products now i'm
ported.
SHUT cyt 10000 ,ooo acres OF COM
petitive farm products,. J. he said. '3ud
we won't need any other relief"
Speaking Of the proposal for q
farm board. Horst said, Deliver the
farmers from farm board II It Is
not made up Of real farmers"
Favors Board Creation
vesecky told the house committee
that he favored creation Of federal
farm board. II stabilization corpor-
ations were formed, he said, they
should be controlled by the corpora
ton groups.
II the bill were so formed as to
make it Of benefit to the farmers to
organize, he said, 1t would be fairly
easy for the cooperative group to gain
control Of large volume of farm
products. This, he added, would en-
able them to influence the price.
Vesecky said that there also should
be changes In freight rates that
would give farm products bound for |
ports for export the same reduction
as is given industrial products that |
are shipped out Of the country.
He suggested changes III the Nc
Nary bill to give cooperative organi-
cations the right to suggest the names

and to provide one sterilization cor

SENATOR BRUCE ON HIS
RECENT DEFEAT

Most defeated candidates can find
an alibi. Senator William Cabeli
Bruce, who was so overwhelmingly
defeated by the voters of Maryland
ON his wet record, now thinks he
was the victim of Governor Smiths
Eunpopularity in the State Before
Smith was nominated Bruce was
sure he was the strongest and ablest
man that could be put on the ticket.
During the campaign he was proud
of the fact that Smith was popular
but was. also convinced that his own
services we're so valuable and he,
himself, so personally popular, that
he would be returned to the United
States Senate.
The fact is Mr.. Bruce was unpop-
ular because the people of the state
grew tired of his continual wet atti-
tude. They did not forget theN fact
that Mr.. Bruce was considered by
friends of prohibition as friendly to
their cause when he was nominated
for the Senate. Mr.. Bruce, it will
be remembered, was reported by
frequent interviews, to have said
that he thought the Eighteenth
Amendment was the best thing that
was ever done by the United States,
that he thought the volstead law
might be little drastic but that it
would take ten years to determine
that and he would not be in favor OF
any change in the Volstead law until
lit had had ten years trial. This
story was pretty well circulated
throughout the state. Naturally,
friends of prohibition were disap-
pointed when the Senator became
such an outspoken wet. He chose
his own platform and made his own
light. After doing that he had the
following to say on the floor OF the
United States Senate recently:
Now, so far as sectarian bigotry
Is concerned. I am one 81 the recent
sufferers of it. AS everybody
knows. my defeat in the State Of
Maryland is due to the recrudes-
cence of sectarian prejudice, thing
which had not been deemed even to
be possible"
! OF course Mr.. Bruce is about the
only one in the State who thought
It was not possible to defeat him
We would respectfully remind him
that he and Governor Goldsborough
his victorious opponent, are both
members of the Protestant Episco-
pal Church, that there is no group
method of voting in Maryland and
every candidate must have the cross
mark after his name before the vote
IS counted. The defeat of Senator
Bruce is the outstanding dry victory
at the recent election. The line
could not have been more closely
Drawn than in this contest 1t was
not religious bigotry but the wetness
IF Senator Bruce and the dryness OF
Goldsborough that resulted in Colds
Iborough's election. American Is.

The fourth week in March marks
the zero hour for State orchardists
who are preparing sprays and spray
equipment to go "over the top in
he annual spring warfare against
european red mite, it is declared by
Dr.. E. N. Cory. entomologist for the
University of Maryland Extension
Service.
Although full strength sprays may
be used effectively in the winter
months, it is during the three weeks
proceeding bossoming time, April
15 to 20. that the eggs Of the red
mite are most susceptible to the
spray. DR.. Cory warns, however,
that the strength OF the spray appli-
ed during the pre-hatching period
must be much less than that used
during the winter months or the fol-
iage and fruit will be injured.

BILL TO PROMOTE WELFARE OF
HANDICAPPED CHILDREN

BILL TO PROMOTE WELFARE OF
HANDICAPPED CHILDREN
1t is matter of general knowl-
edge that there are many physically
handicapped children in this State
who, because of their physical dis
ability, are unable to attend the
public schools. Most of these child
rem grow to maturity unable to sup
port themselves and many of them
become charges upon the public.
Ninety per cent of the orthopedlc
cases treated in the children's hos
pital schools are sufficiently restored
TO enable them to pursue useful vo-
cations. If these children were
given vocational training they would
not only be able to support them
selves when they grow to maturity
but would become useful citizens.
We have no statistics as to children
handicapped from other causes.
All of these handicapped children
are the problem OF the State as well
as of the local communities in car
ing for the needs of these children
should and must have State aid.
Senate Bill 297 introduced by
Senator Sasscer, and House Bill 1862
introduce dby the Speaker, identical
bills, require the school census to
enumerate all handicapped children
and provide for their classification
by the State Board of Education
with the aid and assistance OF the
State Board Of Health. The State
Board of Education is to prescribe
standards of equipment and curricu-
lum for the special schools and
classes for these handicapped child
rem. Wherever the local school
boards provide such special school
facilities which comply with those
standards, the State, through the
State Board of Education will con-
tribute to such local school boards
$4,000. 90 per year toward the cost
Of operating each such class OF not
u sHasi
the maximum number in each class
to be subject to the control OF the
State Board Of Education.
The State Board Of Education be-
lieves it will take some time to de-
velop these classes and that for the
next two years $1O,O00.00 year
will be sufficient to meet the require
ments Of these bills, and the Cover
!: nor has included those sums in his
Supplemental Budget contingent
upon the passage of these bills.
This legislation in Maryland origi.
mated with the Maryland League fol
Crippled Children, and follows sim
liar successful legislation in Ohio
I Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania
Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan
New Jersey, and other states.
n 1t is based on sound economics
the States money which is to be ex
pended under it in the physical re
Mobilization and vocational training
Of physically handicapped children
will be sound investment which
will yield enormous financial returns
to the State.
1t also is humane in that it give:
these unfortunate children reason
able opportunity to earn their places
1t has the sympathy and approva
of our Governor, and the bills as in
troduced have the approval of The
State Board of Education, the Schoo
Commissioners of Baltimore City
and the Public School Association o.
Baltimore City.
