"It has come to be share and

out of business a lot of people
who are not capable of the best
management"
Mr.. Williams replied:
"It is true that we cannot
look out for the worker and at
the same time look out for the
interests of the operator if he
has to pay a minimum wage.
We can serve one or the other,
but we cannot serve both. You
have put your finger there on
one of the fundamental prob
lens that we are continually up
against"
NRA FOES PLEASED
The answer brought smiles o1
satisfaction to the faces of Sena
tors Hastings and King DD OF
Utah. The latter seeks to have Con
gress scrap NRA. Senator Hast
ings agreed with Mr.. Williams
and expressed the view that Con
gresS has no right to enact laws
which would deliberately drive any
part of industry out of business
He observed:
II believe that freedom, the
maintenance of competition,
and protection of the little fel-
low who doesn't want to be
driven out of business, is just
as important as anything else"
Senator King asked Mr.. Viii
liams whether NRA codes could
exist were the antitrust laws rig
idly enforced. The witness re
piled.
"WeII, except as the anti
trust laws are modified or suS-
pended to the minimum extent

BY BUDGET GUT

COLLEGE PARK, Nd, Feb. q
DR.. Raymond A. Pearson, presi-
dent of the University of Mary
land, addressing the annual con-
ference Of Gamers and Fieldmen
in session at College Park yester.
day, referred to the effect the
proposed $4,000 budget cut in
State appropriations for the uni
versity will have on the canning
industry.
DR.. Pearson pointed out that if
the cut is approved by the legis-
lature, the Extension Service of
the university will be forced to
curtail draStically its research
work in the canning industry
which affects large numbers of
citizens in Maryland and other
States and amounts to millions
Of dollars yearly.
DR.. Pearson further pointed out
that the per capita cost to the
people of Maryland of maintain
ing the teaching and research
staff at the university is only "a
cents per year as compared with
So cents in Florida and more than
dollar in most other States. DR..
Pearson said that New Jersey
is the only State in the Union
where the per capita cost for
teaching in the State university
is less than in MARYLAND.
