PRIMARY SOON
TO DECIDE THE
PEOPLES WILL
Campaigns Have Been Waged By
Candidates In Apparent
ly Good Will
SENATOR VEASEY NAILS
TWO-JOB PROPAGANDA

The campaigns of those seeking
nomination for office in the State and
County are fast drawing to a close.
Next Wednesday the primary elect
ions will be held and possibly enough
will be known before midnight as to
whose names will appear on the ticket
at the General Election.
So far as the state ticket is con-
cerned, indications in the county, point
to the nomination of Albert c.. Richie
and George L. Radcliffe for the Cover
norship and U. S. Senatorship, re-
spectively. T. Alan Goldsborough and
Herbert R. O'Conor candidates for
Congress and Acknowledgement, re-
spectively, are unopposed.
For the county offices, there is a
lively competition, and it would not
be safe to predict the outcome. Many
citizens are exercising their privi-
lege, to run for office, and all have
their friends. AS stated editorially
in today's issue of the Democrat"
the candidates are waging friendly
campaign and the primary seems
bound to result in more harmony than
many in the past. Every voter has
a right to make his own choice, and
there is no evidence that the electorate
has, in the past, made many grievous
mistakes. The fitness for office should
be a recommendation and the ballot
cast for the man every individual
thinks is the best.
Much has been said, during the
present political campaign concerning
Senator Veasey's office as member
of the Maryland General Assembly
and also at the same time being an
appointee of the Maryland State Roads
Commission.
The opinion of the Attorney General
on the point was sought, and his in
depreciation on the point of law is
setforth in the advertising columns of
today's issue of the Democrat, under
a statement by Senator Veasey him.
SELF
Any explanation Of the matter was
thought to be unnecessary, since it
was conceded that those who placed
Senator Veasey in his position under
the Commission knew what they were
doing. But some people thought diff
ferently and their dissent was solely
for the purpose of creating political
unrest.
The published opinion of the Attor-
ney-General should settle the matter
and the opposition propaganda should
prove to be boomerang more than
anything else.

GOVERNOR RlTCHIE
APPROVES REFUND
TO WORK BOATS
Will Favor Law Putting Motor
WOrkbOats On Same Basis
AS Pleasure Craft

The Democrat" is in receipt of tn
following telegram from Governor A
;. Richie, relative to the refund o
gas tax for the motor workboats.
Annapolis, Md,
September 5
Worcester Democrat,
Pocomoke, Md.
You are authorized to publish
the following statement from me.
Under the present law the motor
boats used for pleasure are entitled
to refund from the State gaso-
line taxes paid by them. Work
boats are not entitled under the
present law to similar refunds.
This discrimination against the
workboats does not seem to me
fair particularly when the owners
of these boats have nearly all
suffered very considerably from
the depression. Therefore if re-
elected it is my intention to rec
ommend to the next General AS
sembly legislation giving the
workboats the same right to a
refund for the gasoline taxes paid
by them such refund amounting to
four cents per gallon.
Albert C. Richie
This will be welcome news to tn
work boats, and seems to be mucl
needed piece of legislation.

Hartford, Dec 2S-Admonishing the Farm Bureau to remain neu- tral on matters of milk legislation and voting to oppose any form Of 8 milk marketing equalization plan, the Milk Producer-Dealer as- sociation of Connecticut held it's annual meeting in the Hotel Bond Thursday. The association voted to bring in a milk marketing plan of it's own, and appointed two com- mittees, one to draw up the pro- gram and the second to oppose the equalization plans in the legisla- ture and endeavor to secure the adoption of it's own plan.
 Officers of the organization were reelected, contests developing only in the New Haven and New Lon- don directorate and the organiZa- tion voted to pay salary of $50 a week to it's secretary treasurer. The annual dues were set at a minimum of $5 a year, plus one- half the cost of licenses secured from the Milk Control board, with maximum dues of $25. The initi- ation fee was retained at $1.
 Resolution Passed
 Discussion of equalization, which was scheduled to be one of the principle topics of the day, was not reached until late afternoon, Ralph B. Hemingway, vice-presi- dent of the association and a mem- Der of the New Haven County Dairy committee of the Farm Bu- reau Federation, opened the dis cussion by charging that the Farm Bureau was playing with the Connecticut Milk Producers asso- citation, and presented resolution that 'the Farm Bureau be directed to be neutral and not take any ac- tive part in any milk marketing campaign. Although another member of a committee attempted to explain the dairy committees action, the resolution was passed unanimously without debate.
 The association had secured the ballroom only until 4 o'clock and it was 4:30 D. m. when the resolu- tion was offered, debate being cut off by the desire. to vacate the room, and the fact that many of the producers had to leave to go home. The meeting then ad- journed to noe of the lower halls. where the discussion of the equal iZation plans was continued in the presence of about half of the member who had been in the larg- CT hall.
 Pierpont Leads Debate
 For more than two hours the debate continued, led by President Morton E. Pierpont of Waterbury. who read from the minutes of two meetings of the chairmen of the Farm Bureau dairy committees, outlining their discussion for an equalization plan, which was one of the pieces of legislation pro- posed by them to the governor last week. MT Pierpont asserted that the basic trouble with the milk in-

Dutch Elm Disease
 Order Is Approved
Governor Cross Sanctions PIan-C Control Area En-
 braces 30 Towns Federal Funds Finance Work

Late yesterday afternoon Cover nor Wilbur L. Cross approved an order establishing a control. area for Dutch elm disease embracing thirty towns in Fairfield, New Ha- ven, New London and Middlesex counties. The order, issued by Di- rector William l.. Slate of the Con- necticut Agricultural Experiment Station at New Haven, makes, it possible for federal crews to be- gin tree sanitation measures in the affected zones immediately. The object is to minimize the danger of spread of Dutch elm disease into other parts of this state and New England.
 At the same time Director Slate announced that funds from the $527,000 federal emergency allot- ease in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut are now available. It is estimated that between $5O,00 and $70.000 of this money will be spent in Connecticut. he said. Crews of tree workers are being mobilized and the sanitation cam paign can begin as soon as the men are. selected.
 The order, giving federal agents authority to operate in Connecti- cut beginning January 2, states in part: "The parasitic fungus known as Dutch elm disease has been found on elm trees in five towns of Fairfield county and one town in New London county. It has been determined that the disease is spread from tree to tree by va- rious forms of bark beetles that breed only in dying or dead elms. Removal and destruction of such trees will greatly reduce the beetle population and thus reduce the chances for spreading the disease"
 Within the area described. the order grants federal or state agents permission to remove and dispose of any tree that is dead or in seriously weakened condition. as well as any that is infected with Dutch elm disease. Before tree Is cut down. written notice will be given to the owner or two his agent.
 This enterprise is carried on CO., operatively by the state and fed eral government. Leston R. Fate, head of the federal office for con- trol of Dutch elm disease at Stam- ford. is the federal leader for Connecticut. W. O. Filley, station forester. is in charge for the ex- pertinent station.
 During the winter pr c. P. Clin- ton. station botanist. and Dr Flor ence Mccormick of his department will continue research on the dis ease. Next spring the experiment station plans to make an intensive survey of elm trees in parts of the state not covered by the fed- eral scouts.

dustry of the state is the classified price. He urged that some plan should be adopted under which the dealer should 'go out and pur- chase the milk he needs at a straight price, and penalize the producer heavily if he fails to de- liver his contracted amount during the short months. He later sug- gested a penalty of three or four cents a quart for failing to delver the contracted amount during the short months.
 A proposal by Harry F. Earn ham of East Windsor Hill that some plan based on a quota agreed upon between the dealer and the producer might be the solution to the problem brought tart remarks from J. A. Sullivan of Woodbury, who assailed MT Farnham, the Milk Control board and the gov- ernor, impartially.
