Washington. D. c., Dec. 1S.-It
is possible that the new manpower
controls vested in Paul V. McNutt
may serve to soothe the savage
breast of the farmer. But if not,
you can put Maryland farmers
down in the Republican column
definitely for 1914. The COP
swell from the midwest rural
areas now seems to have caught
up with Maryland, if you can so
add up the vast number of COM
plants that are reaching all gov
ernmental departments in Wash
ington.
Federal representatives have
been getting an earful of Free
State rebellion by listening in on
the weekly meetings of the social
ed Farm Hands Club which meets
informally at luncheon each Tues
day at the Hotel Harrington. The
meetings are completely informal
and all farmers are welcome The
luncheon is not free, but the dis
cussiOn afterwards is.
Here are few things the Mary
land farmer is beefing about: Gaso-
line rationing, price ceilings, fore
ed planting of unmarketable crops,
labor shortage and high prices for
labor. And nearly all of the COM
plants stem from the labor or
manpower problem. Dairy farm
ers already are sending to slaugh-
ter large herds of cows because
they can get neither the hands to
care for them nor transportation
facilities to deliver milk in quanti-
ty.
Some estimates indicate that un-
less the matter is remedied imme-
diately, Maryland will fall Is per
cent short of it's anticipated quota
in the Maryland-Virginia milk shed.
The Maryland farmer simply
cannot compete in the present la
Dor market which pays a negro

All three freshmen Congressman
from the Free State have been
successful in obtaining able office

behind them. Beall, for instance,
is taking into his office Mrs. By

Cathryn Wolfe. Although Mrs.
Wolfe is a Democrat, she is a

Some idea of the temper Of the
rural Free Slater is obtained from
the following incident in Waldorf.
A group of workers on their way to
Cedar Point stopped at a we'll
known Waldorf restaurant for
breakfast. All through the meal
they loudly squawked about the
half-hour of overtime they had put
in the night before. Finally the
proprietor, out of patience, thump-
ed his fist on the counter and told
the men off:

squawking. Now shut up. Some

The men shut up and took the
dressing down, a bit sheepishly.
What they had heard in that out
burst of temper was a speech that
is on the lips of nearly every far
mer in the State. 1t was a key
note speech from an old-line Demo-
crat who wants things changed
or else.

Except for those who reside in

constant whistle of the engine and
the rumble Of the long freight
trains, few, if any, give much
thought to the responsibilities
placed on these vitality important

the newspaper headlines in this
war, but without the railroads,
even those important weapons of
battle would not be possible.
Years ago the railroads packed

More important still, the railroads

RECORD VOLUME OF

Crowds Jam Downtown
Stores Day and Night;
Sales Still Soaring

Christmas shopping is on in full
force in HagerstOwn and merch-
ants report record-breaking sales,
with definite possibility that
many articles, now in stock, will
have been exhausted before the
stores close for the holidays.
The unprecedented buying wave
here is directly attributed to the
large amount of money in circula-
ton. Never before in the history
OF the town - or nation for that
matter - has there been so much
money in the hands of the people,
and Judging from all reports, it is
being spent freely. A few years
ago shoppers were prone to ''shop
for prices" but that is not the sit
uation today. The only shopping"
being done today is shopping for
gifts" rather than price.
AS has been predicted for the
past year, many gifts that flooded
the counters in years gone by are
conspicuous by their absence. This
is particularly true of articles
made of metal; the war has closed

tablishments, and a great proper

the complexion of the Waiting
Wall will be radically changed
long before election time; in
fact, few, if any of the old faces
will answer the roll call in te45.
AS matter Of fact, there has
been considerable change since
way back in ts41, when the
radio and newspapers were
crowded with promises and plat
forms. Many have deserted the
ship for more permanent jobs,
while others have been uncere-
moniousiy set adrift to shift for
themselves. Back a few years
ago, the b'hoys found positions
few and far between and any job
with a regular income looked like

eyes. Those were the days when,
the King called his warriors to
headquarters with painful regu-
larity for lectures on the finer
points of politics, and the little
men stepped forward like SOL
diers and took the gaff standing
at attention. There was no back
talk.
Today, I'm told, those who re-
main in charge of the fort are
seldom annoyed by commands
from the Exalted Ruler. They
are left aIone-in fact, they
sometimes wonder what has hap
pened to all the ambitious pro-
grams placed on the "must" list
by their commander when he
was claiming an easy victory by
several thousand votes.
Perhaps the war is responsible
for the disinteeraton of the
once reputedIy weII-knit organi-
zation! In any event, the old mob
amt what she used t. be, except
that it still is a one-man show
with the Five Silent Men sitting
quietly on the side lines nodding
their heads in unison.
Maybe its still bit early to
figure out what the b'hoys will
be shouting about in 1945, but
something tells me that a lot of
Economy Flags will be waving
over that half million dollars in
the bank, now covered with cob
webs. The idea, as | see it is to
nibble little off the tax rate
this year, repeat the same per-
formance in 1943 and then again
in 1914. Of course that doesn't
help the taxpayers now, but big
surplus will make a good cam
paign speech.

BUDGET REDUCED
 ON PRICE FIXING
SpOkesmen Are of Belief Congress Took Good
 Slap at Henderson
By JAMES R. SHEPLEY United Press Staff CorrespOndentl

NOAAtou 1FeSS SVam COFreSpOM0eMt)
 Washington, July 1-(UP)-The Office of Price Administrat tion started new fiscal year today on budget reduced so drastically that a spokesman said House action in limiting the appropriation to $75, 100000 jeopardized the entire effort to hold living costs in line.
 Reduction of OPA's appropriation If finally approved as passed by the HouSe-will necessitate the dis misSal of $500 employees now on the job or "on requisition, the spokesman said. He also said en- forcement of price ceilings on gen. eral civilian goods, rents in 367 communities and on retail services will have to be curtailed sharply.
 The ceilings on retail services, effective last midnight, cover the prices that may be charged by laundries, dry cleaners, shoe re- pairers, automobile repairers and similar establishments.
 Meanwhile, Price Administrator Lean Henderson was considering emergency inauguration of a price subsidy system to prevent immedi- ate increases in the prices of canned vegetables and fruits.
 Henderson and Secretary of Agri- culture Claude R. Wickard have evolved 8 plan, 1t was learned, to use Commodity Credit corporation funds to buy farm products at the statutory parity prices and resell them to processors at the govern ment's loss. That plan would be a stop-gap while Congress considers Henderson's request for general au- thority to hold prices with sub- sides.
 The plan contemplates use of the eco funds in manner never au- thorized by Congress. But Render son is said to take the position that without subsidies the OPA will be compelled to increase the retail price of most canned vege- tables and some canned fruits.
 Last week Henderson and Wick ard conferred with House leaders on the general question of price subsidization. Henderson had a second conference yesterday.
 House and Senate leaders fear that Henderson's subsidiZation pro- gram has little chance of approval. The Senate has returned to com- mittee a bill which would have set up the subsidization system. Both the House banking and appropria- ton committees have indicated that they would not grant Henderson's request.
 Leaders interpreted the Houses reduction of OPA operating funds as a measure of Congressional temper toward the price admins trator and his agency. The OPA spokesman said, however, that 1t would be the public, not "bureau- cratS" that would suffer.
 OPA payrolls now approximate $53 3,0OO, 900, exclusive of office and travel costs. There are 3O,O00 em- ployes in the OPA and another 5000 to 5000 are on requisition. The present establishment, the spokes- man said, includes less than 25 of the 250 district ofnces proposed for efficient enforcement of the price ceilings and only 75 of 367 rent area administrations, which would be set up.
