MARYLAND MERRy-GO-R ROUND
- By DREW PEARSON --

Washington, d. c., Sept. s.
Putting together Maryland's fl ST
annual tobacco carniva, (to be cen,
tered at La Plata, September 26th
and 27th), has called for the high
est sort of prOmOtiOnal talent and
diplomatic skill plus a bit of expert
ence in old-fashioned Broadway
shOwmanship.
This rare combination, plus an
unsuspected zeal - for plain hard
work, fortunately rested in the
lanky frame and bespectacled
countenance of Bill Usiltons of
Chestertown who is secretary of
the Maryland State Publicity COM
mission. Bill had hurdles to jump
right from the very inception of
the idea more than a year ago. But
he jumped them.
At that time the Maryland To-
bacco Growers Association of the
Baltimore Market group were en-
gagged in fierce competition with
the loose-leaf market group, and
plenty of ugly remarks were being
tossed back and forth. To stage a
monster carnival, such as the forth
coming one, obviously required
these two groups to pull together
for their joint benefit.
This finally has been accomplish
ed, and for all of their business diff
ferences, the two rival marketing
groups have been made good on
their pledge of several thousand
dollars.
With this important moral and
financial backing, plus the personal
interest of Governor O'Conor, Usil-
ton carefully surveyed the expert
ences of similar tobacco shows in
South Boston, Virginia and, Ashe-

putting up $500 in prizes of fishing
rods and reels to be given away at
the Fishing Fair Grand Contest at
North Beach this week. Deute is
otherwise famous as one of the best
amateur cooks in the country, his

Maryland hotels An orchid to
Max Chambers OF Caroline County
for his tireless work as executive
secretary of the Chesapeake Bay
Fishing Fair Association. In six
years he and his association have
distributed one million pieces of
literature and brought 5000 fishing
parties to the Chesapeake, includ-
ing two trainloads of fishermen
from Chicago this year. - Two
years ago the Farm Bureau in
Montgomery County voted almost
unanimously against low cost gov
ernment housing for tenants and
poor farm families in rural cross
road communities. This was an
idea initiated by far-sighted Brooke
Lee, but he and Gene Casey found
themselves the only leaders for it.
Now two years later the Farm Bu-
reau has finally caught up with
them. = Gene Casey is being urg-
ed by White House friends to spend
more time fertilizing Maryland poll
tics instead of the Middle West.
Casey has been touring the West
for Democratic National Chairman
Ed Flynn in order to keep the farm
ers lined up with the Administra-
ton.

vile, N. G. Then drew on the ex-
ploitation backgrounds of Amer
ica's principal entertainment cen
ters in New York and Hollywood.
The result promises to be terrific
Among the pOsers Usilton had
to solve was the selection of a
prominent and beauteous Queen Of
the Court of the Magic Weed. This
Queen for the sake of national
picture publicity neededtsto abe a
big-name gal, preferably from the
theatrical world This, however,
precluded a native daughter of the
tobacco belt. =
But through New York connec-
tions, Usilton discovered that none
other than the first lady of the
American theatre Helen Hayes,
had a summer hideout in ST..
Mary's County. Well, if it works,
it's natural. Furthermore, Miss
Hayes is opening in new play in
Baltimore on the Monday following
the pageant.
Rehearsals of some $50 persons
from Anne Arundel, Calvert, St.
Mary's, Charles and Prince George
counties get under way this week
while advance publicity pictures for
the nations press already have
been taken and released. The dra-
matization, featuring the leading
brands of cigarettes all of which
use Maryland tobacco extensively,
is in the professional hands of the
Harrington Russell organization
of Asheville, N. c.. There will be
$50 local actors, plus professional
dramatists, dancers and musicians.

HANGOVERS
By
LITTLE HEISkELG

This and That: Officers of the
two local companies of the Mary
land State Guard, report recruits
are coming in rapidly and in all
probability a sufficient number
of men will be enlisted during
the coming week. Officials of
the Maryland State Employment
Service say that when business
is good, employees are scarce,
and when there are plenty look
ing for jobs, business is bad, all
of which is not confusing. - I'm
told that this trial" recently
completed at City Hall is only
the beginning of a long drawn-out
fight that may last for several
years. - Strange as it may seem,
every kid I've talked to was
anxious to return to school,; won-
der what the verdict would be
next week? - With the Fall
weather coming rapidly, poIiti-
clans are looking over the slate;
here's one you can write down
in the Blue Book: Sheriff Baker
will be a candidate for an import
ant county office. - The Council
man in Ward One is in whirI:
with the County Commissioners
placing their OK on the Court
House Alley quarrel, and when
everything was set to close it to
traffic, Councilman HelaineS CO.
workers go into reverse on him
and put him on the spot; who
started that thing, anyway. -
Motorists have been complaining
about that nasty sink hole on
North Mulberry street near the
railroad, and garage owners are
pofiting (broken springsD. - Re-
ports from Washington say that
the Government is we'll pleased
with Governor O'Conor's defense
efforts in the Free State. - I'm
told that at least two political
leaders in the Western section
of the county are waiting patient
ly for the '42 elections and are
spending hours putting an un-
usually keen edge on the Big
Knife. - Democrats continue to
lead Republicans in registrations
and COP office holders, worried,
are making goo-goo eyes at 'em.
This may be hunch, but the
county commissioners ticket will
be loaded down with candidates
next year. - An old familiar
Democratic name will appear on
the ticket again next year that
of former sheriff. - Prediction:
William Preston Lane will be
stronger in az than in any pre-
vious election year for the simple
reason that those who deserted
his leadership few years ago
are returning "home" bringing
their friends with them. - The
"Forgotten Men" of Haoerstown
seem to be the Councilman; they
seldom make the headlines and
little is heard of their activities.

British Experts Expect
Invasion in 90 Days,
With Costly Repulse
Believe Half of R. A. F.,
75% Of Bottle Fleet
Will Be Sacrificed

Associated Press War Correspondent.
LONDON, Jan. 24.-Informed
military and diplomatic circles in
London seriously expect the might
lest onslaught of history, with bomb
ing on an unimagined scale and the
use of every modern weapon includ-
ing flame throwers and gas, to be
launched on the British Isles within
three months.
This is the sober although unofh-
cial opinion of scores of military
men, from army privates and ordi-
nary seamen to officers, and British,
allied and neutral diplomatic and
political observers who agree that:
Germany will try to break Britain
and win the war before May"
Britain, these informants believe,
will beat off the German invasion
attempt, but only after sacrificing
half of her airforce, three-quarters
of her battle fleet and at least 250,-
900 troops.
Along the beaches and behind
them tonight Britain frightened the
lines of preparation for the expect
ed assault, particularly the threat
of gas. Not since the Munich crisis
and the actual outbreak of the war
has Britain evinced such concern
over gas attacks.

BUCHAREST, Jan. "a &C. D. NJ.
After three days of stiff fighting
in the streets of Bucharest and out
lying cities, the legitimate govern
ment of Gen. Ion Antonescu, backed
by the regular army. today held the
upper hand over the Iron Guard
civilian corps led by Horia Sima,
in victory which may prove signifi-
cant to the future of axis aspiration
in Southeastern Europe.
During the fighting, the German
flying column, domiciled in Bu-
charest, took no part in the con-
tinuous series of street battles for
the possession of the capitals nerve
centers. sending only infantry,
jammed trucks and motorcycle
columns on patrol without taking
part in the engagement between
the brown-clad men of Gen. Anton
escu and the Legionary Irregulars.
The snipers, who continued sharp
shooting through the day, were de-
scribed in military quarters as Com
munists, some of whom had filtered
into the Iron Guard ranks and con-
tinued firing after Sima ordered
them to surrender, two hours before
daybreak.
1t is difficult to ascertain the
number of casualties, many hidden
in homes but the Legionnaires ad-
NIT at least 60 dead.

The bell before the cathedral
tolled almost increasingly as guard
