New CoIors Given
To 115th Infantry
AT Fort Meade Rites
10th Opens Service
Club Building With
RegimentoI Dance
BY the Associated Press.

FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, Md,
April representation of new COL
orS of the 115th Infantry Regiment
and opening of new service club
building featured activities at this
Army post today.
In presenting the new American
flag and regimental colorS to the
115th, Maj. Gen. Milton A. Reckord,
commander of the 29th Division, told
the men that Great Britain is fight
ing our battle" adding, The Sc
curity for which America stands
may need our active support"
He presented the new colors on
behalf of the War Department to
Col. D. John Markey, regimental
commander. Later they were pre-
sented to each battalion of the regi-
ment by color guard.
Prayers Offered for Flags.
Col. Markey told the massed regi-
ment that although the regimental
standard no longer is carried inte
battle as it was during the Civil
War and the Spanish-American War
it was still the most sacred thing
in the possession of the regiment" :"
This was evidenced, he continued,
by the fact that when the troops
are in the field no one is permitted
to touch the colors when they are
uncased except the commanding
officer.
During the ceremony prayer was
offered for each flag by the senior
chaplain of the regiment, Capt.
Frank Lombert
The ceremony was concluded with
march past the colors.
Tonight three Army hostesses be-
gan their official duties as Virginia's S
116th Infantry opened the new serv-
ice club building with a dance for
the regiments enlisted men.
Another Hostess to Be Assigned.
The three, who co-operated with
regimental officials in directing the
dance, were Mrs. Jean Lee Warner
of Baltimore, senior hostess; Miss
Rob Neblett, Hampton, Va, Junior
hostess, and Miss Gertrude Bossard,
service club librarian, from Lans-
doWne, Pa.
Another junior hostess is still to
be assigned to the post.
The hostesses will cooperate with
Maj. Geary Eppley, post morale Off
Ger, and 1t Herman o. Schmidt,
29th Division recreation officer, IN
directing social programs for soldiers.
Besides work in the service club,
they will operate Fort Meade's new
guest house, next to the club build
ing, containing overnight accommo-
dations for families and guests of
soldiers visiting camp.

Md. u. Accused
OF Hindering
Leaf Auctions
Baltimore System
Favored, Marlboro
Leader Charges
By JOHN ID. LEONARD.

Charges that the University of
Maryland extension service is at
tempting to hinder development of
the loose-leaf system of tobacco
auctions in Southern Maryland were
made yesterday by Frank M. Hall,
president of the Marlboro Tobacco
Market, Inc.
Mr.. Hall contended county agents
In the five Southern Maryland coun-
ties have been conducting meetings
tc encourage sentiment among to-
bacco growers in favor of the Balti-
more market, where the hogShead
system prevails, and to diSsuade
them from selling on the loose-leaf
market.
Moreover, Mr.. Hall claimed that
through the efforts of the extension
service, the periodic bulletins on to-
bacco prices issued by the Agricul-
ture Department have been discon-
tinued.
Denies Favoring One System.
Queried in connection with the
charges, DR.. R. B. Corbett, acting
director of the extension service,
said the service merely is trying to
lay certain facts of the situation
before the tobacco growers.
DR.. Corbett added that the ex-
tension service has no sentiment
one way or the other so far as the
two marketing systems are con-
cerned. But, he said, it so happens
that many of the facts cleaned by
the extension service are in favor
of the Baltimore market. He said
1t was entirely up to the tobacco
growers which of the two systems
they want to patronize.
Mr.. Hall contended that despite
the efforts of the extension service
the first four days after the OPEN
ing of the loose leaf markets in
Southern Maryland this week re-
vealed that buyers already have
paid top price of As cents a pound,
which he said was 2 cents a pound
over the top price of last year and
the highest in several years.
Compares Prices.
He compared this figure with a
reported 3812- 2-cent top at the Balti-
more market and predicted that if
present price levels are maintained
the farmers will receive more this
summer for their tobacco than in
many years.
Those who oppose abandoning the
Baltimore market say its loss would
take away the bargaining power of
the producer, eliminate to
IL month market, because the loose
leaf market operates for shorter
periods; eliminate many regulations
governing the sale of tobacco and
lower the prices paid to the pro-
6ucer.
