FARM BUREAU DIRECTORS MEET
IN BALTIMORE
Action Taken On Tax Diversion;
Oleomagarine Bill And To-
matO Prices

The Casey Tax Committees pro-
posal 70 divert huge sums of the
States gasoline tax funds for pur-
poses other than road improvement
was scored by the directors of the
Maryland Farm Bureau Federation
meeting in Baltimore last Friday.
Thirty directors were present, and
the vote on the resolution against
the proposed tax diversion was
unanimous. 1--WE view with alarm"
the resolution states, "this diversion
which means the breakdown of Mary
lands efforts to keep pace with road
building in neighboring states, and
regard it as blow to the farmers of
Maryland who pay so large portion
of the Gas Tax"
Endorsement was also given bill
now in Congress which would place
an excise tax on imported fats and
oils. The measure is supported by
the Farm Bureau as means to
check the competition of foreign in
gradients in the manufacture of oleo-
margarine and butter substitutes in
the United States.
Action also was taken on the Farm
Bureaus resolution to seek an in
crease in the 1885 tomato prices,
and a motion was carried to send a
representative from this state to a
conference in Philadelphia now be-
ing planned by tomato growers in
Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, New York
and Pennsylvania.
Mr.. P. C. Turner, president of the
Baltimore County Farm Bureau,
gave report on the Northeastern
Dairy Conference recently held in
New York. Mr. Turner stated that
the only place the milk control laws
were working adequately seemed to
be in the New England states
especially in Vermont. Experience
has proven, he said, that milk con-
troll law to be successful, must
strengthen the present milk market
ing associations.

c. & D. CANAL
Maryland Congressional Delegation
Preparing For United Action

washington, Feb. 16.1Members
of the Maryland Congressional dele
CATION are preparing to present
united appeal for the conversion OF
the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal
into deep sea waterway when the
$4.88O,O0O,00O relief bill has been
enacted. The proposal has been ap-
proved by all agencies of the Govern
ment having to do with the matter.
Representative Goldsborough to-
day said he was making summary
Of all the hearings and reports Of the
divisional and chief engineers of the
army as we'll as the Board of Engi-
neers for Rivers and Harbors.
Backed BY Thirteen States
The Projects Committee of the
National Rivers and Harbors Con-
gress today notified Mr.. Goldsbor-
ough and Senator Radcliffe that the
committee had voted unanimously to
recommend to the Board of Direc-
tors that the Chesapeake and Della
ware Canal is sound project, and
one that should be i. undertaken
promptly. ,.-7..at, :.
Thirteen States, together with
their business and shipping organ
izations, are backing the Baltimore
Association of Commerce in its eff
forts to have the canal widened to
$50 feet and its depth increased to
81 feet, so as to accommodate deep
sea vessels.
Canal Called Inadequate =
Col. E. I. Brown, former district
engineer of Wilmington, at a, hear
ing before the Rivers and Harbors
Committee of the House last year
said: "The present canal is not ade-
quate for existing and prospective
commerce by reason of insufficient
depth and width" a- H..
Colonel Brown also reported he
had found no physical or structural
obstacles to a considerable increase
in depth and width and that pros
pective traffic requires that the canal
be converted from barge canal to
a ship canal"
1t was estimated that the cost of
providing a width of ESQ feet with a
27-foot depth would be $9,788,000,
with $250,OOO for annual mainten-
ance. =
Annual Saving Put At 100000 i
The sponsors of the Improvement
in the various cities along the A.
lantic Coast are in agreement that
the enlargement of the canal will
effect a saving of $1,O00,000 annual
ly to shipping and business.
1t was recalled today that Presi-
dent Roosevelt several months ago
went on record as favoring the mod
ernization of the canal if and when
additional public works funds were
provided. He made this statement
in a letter to Senator Tydings.
1t has been asserted that the con-
version of the canal would save more
than twenty-six hours for shipping
between Baltimore and Philadelphia
and more than thirteen hours for
vessels bound for New York, and ap-
proximately lis nautical miles for
ships and cargoes moving to and
from Continental Europe, MediIer
ranean and Scandinavian ports,
Representative Goldsborough said:
sit has been conservatively esti-
mated the improvement would have
a value of approximately $25,000,-
900 to coast-wise, intercoastal and
foreign trade shipping and cargoes
during the next ten years."

COUNTY To HAVE
NEW WELFARE
DEPARTMENT
Montgomery Board to Set Up
Group of Seven to Replace
Present Aid Supervisor

ROCKVILLE, Md. June 6.-Cre-
alton of a Department of Public
Welfare to replace the present
supervisor of county aid in control
of all public welfare except the
county home has been agreed upon
by the Montgomery county board
of commissioners.
Formation of such department
was advocated in a report sub
mitted recently by committee
appointed to make survey of vel
fare problems. The proposed de-
partment will follow closely the
plan outlined in this report, except
that the control of the county
home will remain in the hands of
the commissioners.
Seven Members in Unit
The new relief unit would con-
sist of seven instead of five mem
bers as recommended by the COM
mittee.
The plan as presented by the
committee would place the well
fare work, including public func-
tons of the Social Service League,
under the department of public
welfare. BY this move the board
believes it will save several thou
sand dollars annually. The budget
of the new department will
amount to approximately 100000.
Provided For in Budget
It's personnel will be a director,
three family workers, one proba"
ton officer, one children's worker,
two stenographers, clerk and a
business manager.
Alexander K. Hancock, county
accountant, was directed by the
board to include provisions for
the department in the county
budget and levy for the coming
year.

HAZEN PRAISED
ON D. c. LOBBY

Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen
was being congratulated today OH
a speech before the Soroptimist
Club, urging citizens to lobby on
Capitol Hill for needed civic i'm
provements such as municipal
center and municipal court build
ing. Speaking before members Of
the club he said:
"Get behind the men on
Capitol Hill for our municipal
center and q municipal court
building.
"No other city of this size
in the world would tolerate
such court buildings as we
have. The Federal Government
owns about 40 per cent Of the
Government property in the
District, and I can't understand
why Uncle Sam shouldn't con-
tribute more liberaly to the
District.
"The poor little tax rayer
can't make the District of Co
lumbia the model city of the
world that it should be unless
more Federal funds are avail
able"
The District Commissioner ex-
planned that the tax rate of the
District was misleading to mem
bers Of Congress because, while
the rate for each hundred dollars
is less, assessments here are
nearly twice as high as in other
places in the United States.

J.. 8, SEEKS JOBS
FOR OUSTED
MIA AIDES
Places in Federal Service Due
For Workers Who Will Lose
BerthS Under New Plan

Gloom hanging over local NRA
headquarters was partly dissi-
pated today with definite as
surances f no m Administration
leaders that every effort will be
made to obtain employment for
every Blue Eagle employee.
Hope for retention of the 1000
employees in NRA in washington
in the new set-up on which con-
greSsional leaders were working
today has been definitely aban-
doned. This new organization,
according to the Interpretation
of MIRA officials, will be merely
a fact-finding body which may
employ 500 or 1000 workers, but
certainly nothing like 1000.
Hurried conferences we're being
held today between MIRA per-
sonnet officers and officials of
other Government agencies with
the hope of placing every NRA
employe somewhere in the Gov
eminent service.
Officials in Dark
MIRA officials themselves do not
know the fate of the 1000 en-
ployes. There is evidence of con.
fusion among the high-ranking
officials of the Blue Eagle, many
Of whom are burning the mid.
night oil in an attempt to outline
a program of employment for
their workers.
Flashes of hope came from these
sources:
The General Accounting Of
fice-This organization is ex-
pected to take on approx
mately 500 employees within the
next month. It was said MIRA
er.ploves probably will gat first
consideration for these jobs.
The Works Relief Admins
tration-This agency will be
charged with administering the
1000 million dollars recently
appropriated by Congress-. In
its embryonic stage it is diff
cult for officials to predict the
total number of employees that
eventually will be required to
cary out this vast program, but
officials added, it can be safely
estimated that some 1000 EN-.
ployes will be taken on shortly.
AS in the General Accounting
Office, NRA employees will be
given first consideration for
these jobs.
Rural Aid Unit
Rural Rehabilitation Admins.
tration-This agency is working
at top speed to set up an Or
ganization to carry out its pro-
gram and probably will employ
an additional 200 men and
women in Washington.
Other Government agencies
not under Civil Service, have
promised cooperation with MIRA
personnel officers.
While many of the MIRA
workers probably will be out OF
work from two weeks to a month
pending negotiations for Their
employment in other Government
agencies, NRA officials seemed
hopeful that all would be taken
care of, although no official state
ment was made.
