BUSINESS OUTLOOK
IN TRADE TRENDS"
Defense Having Its Effect
According to Banking
Institution

The following business review is
given by the Maryland Trust Co.,
Of Baltimore, in it's May letter,
Trade Trends:
The tempo is increasing day by
day Rapidly the circle is widen
ing so that greater and greater
area of the domestic economy is be-
ing affected by events which are
taking place in Europe and the Far
East. Even banking figures are re-
flecting this situation. CONNER
cial loans have risen to the highest
total in nearly a decade and have
increased for % consecutive weeks.
Defense financing as well as indi-
rect expansion, the carrying of in
ventOries and higher prices, all
contribute to rising loan activity
at banks.
Defense contracts are about to
rise again as new congressional
appropriations are allOcated; only
$13, 000.000,00 in contracts have
been let out Of a proposed program
of more than $40,000,000,000. Ac-
tual Federal defense expenditures
representing work completed, in
April were at the rate of $3.50, 000,-
600. In some circles a monthly
figure in excess of twice that
amount is looked for by the year
end. This presupposes that many
of the defense plants now under
construction will be equipped with
machinery and be in production.

MARYLAND MERRy-GO-ROUND-
- By DREW PEARSON

Washington, D. c.. Aug %
The now-it-can-be-told story of con-
structing the new Fort Meade, be-
tween Washington and Baltimore,
discloses that an army general
cOasted along believing there never
would be another war; that the
survey for the site was made by
an officer, on horseback; that ST.
SOS,320 was paid to labor for which
no work was done and that finally
this emergency army camp cost as
much as it would to house the pop
ulation Of Frederick and Hagers-
town.
These, and equally ludicrous but
tragically Wasteful facts, will be
spread in the Congressional Rec
ord by the Senate Committee In
vestigating National Defense which
places the blame on the shoulders
of army brass hats.
Senator Harry Truman CD of
Missouri, and chairman of the
Committee, discussing the fact that
the camp finally cost three times
the original estimate, says: "Since
the camp contains a tent-theatre,
a recreation hall and utilities, its
cost can best be compared with that
of cities of comparable size"
"On this basis, Fort Meade and
it's 25,207 troops, and it's cost of
$21 ,561,445 can be compared to the
Frederick, Md, population of 1892
and assessed value at 100 per cent

Hagerstown population of 32,491

will be one of the finest procurable

wild west performances. The man
agement Of the Fair feels that har-
ness racing has at least in meas
ure, lost its popularity with the
public, generally, and will present
this new rodeo feature instead.
The Fair will again be featured
by many attractions, such as the
midway, with its many shoes, the
same company, as last year, pre-
senting them.
The WOmen's department will be
located in the Horticultural Hall
while other exhibits such as agri-
cultural, etc, will be in tents. The
livestock exhibit as usual, will be
in the barn beyond the race track.
A high grade group of grand

assessment of $41,OOO.O77."
By DREW PEARSON

Such a comparison" Senator
Truman contends, ''is more than
fair to the army camp for the rea-
son that the cities include stores
and industries, which of course are
not duplicated in a camp, and for
the further reason that the figures
as to the cities include the value
of the land
The muddling through process
began at the very outset when the
architect engineer engaged to
adapt the camp site to the terrain
was overruled by Maj. Gen. James
K. Parsons, corps area commander,
who went surveying on horseback.
He returned to report that he saw
no unusual engineering difficulties
for the site which he favored. This
horseback decision, in addition to
causing delay, necessitated the
construction of a tank battalion on
a heavily wooded hill and the lay
ing of sewers and a tunnel 1900
feet long and 35 feet deep.
Upshot Of such arbitrary rulings
is that Camp Meade today is in an
81" form instead of in a square.
This has extended it's length to
nearly five miles for one division,
resulting in increased utility costs.
In order to attract sufficient
skilled workers at Meade, it was
necessary, because of higher wages
at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, to make
up the deficiency in the prevailing
rate by means of overtime adjust
ment. This consisted of paying

EARLY GOVERNORS RACE

EARLY GOV ESNOR' S RACE
Just who will have the last laugh
in the next gubernatorial contest
remains to be seen but right now
Governor O'Conor and Willie Cur
ran are having the laugh at the
expense of Mayor Howard Jackson.
Howard tried to put the chill on
the Ocean City Party of Clarence
Miles by warning that it is a mis-
take to announce a candidacy too
early and alluded to the fact that,
perhaps, his arch rival Herby
O'COnor had done so by launching
a trial balloon for a second term at
that party.
Reason the O'Conor supporters
got big laugh out of that warn
ing is that they had heard in adj
vance that Baltimore's personable
mayor was on the point of doing the
same thing himself. So Miles and
Curran feel that they beat him to
the punch.
What makes the picture even
more gay for Curran ct al is the
fact that many Of Jackson's former
primary hackers attended Clar-
ence's Eastern Shore love-feast,
and vigorously pumped the hand
and thumped the back of the smil-
ing but not embarrassed governor.

HANGOVERS
By
LITTLE HElSKELL

A group of citizens who re-
Gently purchased new homes in
certain neighborhood, are ex-
tremely proud of their commun-
ity. Flowers and shrubbery have
been planted, which has added
considerably to the location. The
brightly painted homes attract
attention of all who pass that
way and the builders have been
highly compIimented for their
progressiveness. Recently these
small home owners prepared a
petition and presented it to their
Councilman. They wanted street
lights and an alley. Reports
have it that the Councilman flew
into a rage and told them that
the builders should be ashamed
of themselves for building "such
shacks." What the home owners
are saying about the Councilman
isn't in the book - all of which
indicates that the Councilman
talked out loud when he should
have whispered to himself!
You might not realize it, but
HagerstoWn will be, within the
next twelve months, the most
important city in Western Mary
land, as far as the Government is
concerned. Reason for this is the
production of materials, vital to
the country's defense. Not only
airpIanes, but many other articles
are being manufactured here, one
ct which would give you the
"creeps" if we mentioned it. 1t
is conserVatiVely estimated that
5000 more jobs will be created
here within the period mentioned.
