Maryland Members
Of Congress TO Help
Meet Labor SHORTAGE
Growers Fear Loss Of
Crops Unless Workers
Con Be Brought In
By the Associated Press.


MaIylandis representatives in
Congress, apprised of the State s
serious farm labor shortage. said
today they would lend their support
to efforts to bring farm workers
into Maryland.
The States labor needs were dis
cussed yesterday at a meeting of
Maryland farm leaders, Federal OH
cials and the Maryland congress
sional delegation in Senator Rad
cliffes office.
P. c. Turner, Maryland Farm
Bureau president, said there will
be a food shortage if sufficient labor
is not provided to harvest crops in
Maryland this summer.
1000 TO 5000 Needed.
Farm leaders said the State would
need a minimum of 1000 workers
and possibly 5000 within the next
month or so to harvest tomato and
potato crops.
Tomato growers are preparing to
harvest an almost record breaking
crop, farm spokesmen said. An in
creased acreage was planted this
spring to meet the demands Of the
Federal Government for foodstuffs.
Representative Ward said it would
not be possible to get any apprecia-
BILE amount of labor to the Eastern
Shore in time for the harvesting of
the spring bean crop.
Senator Tydings, who asked what
Federal agency would be authorized
to furnish funds for the transporta-
ton of workers during the crop sea-
son, was told by farm leaders they
had taken the matter up with the
Farm Security Administration with
out success
Plan List Of Available Men.
Senators Tydings and Radcliffe
suggested that a list of available
labor and its location be compiled
so the question of priority for tires
and gasoline needed for moving
workers could be taken up with the
ONCE of Price Administration.
1t also was suggested that F. B.
Gambrill of the United States EN-
ployment Service, who attended the
conference, certify the list of avail
able labor to the Maryland congress
sional delegation for presentation to
the OPA.
Representative Sasscer outlined
the serious labor situation facing

Maryland Assembly
Special Session
Held Unlikely
Treasury Surplus, le42
Elections, Foctors
Against Call
By the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, June 5.-History, q
$500, 900 surplus and the 1s42 elec-
tions make 1t unlikely that q special
session Of the Maryland General
Assembly will be called this year.
II the legislators are called back
to Annapolis "a big 'if'0 Gov.
OConor will outline the legislative
needs of the moment.
But in special sessions since the
turn Of the century, just three have
done only what they were called to
do-once by gentlemen's agree
ment.
The question of q special session
is being banded about with increas-
ing frequency.
Gov. O'Conor has said he would
gall one If the safety of the State
demanded it. Rowland X. Adams,
regional civilian defense director for
this territory, has suggested that 4
special session might clear up some
defense problems.
The Legislative Council has had
tllC QuSoOiOil UClO z IL lOl live WCChb.
But, reliable authorities tell the
Associated Press, special session Is
a long shot because Of those three
factorSthe surplus. the elections
and tradition.
Should Gov. OiConor issue a
proclamation calling the session, the
lawmakers would be on their own.
He might ask them to restrict their
deliberations to such matters ss tax
ing the States military accounts out
Of the bookkeeping red. creating a
Baltimore metropolitan defense dis
trict and other wartime issues.
But the laws Of Maryland put no
binder on the actions of a special
session. It can do anything it
wants to-as long as it does 1t with
in the 30-calendar-day constitu-
tional limit.
The political capital the 1880 900
surplus represents and the possibility
of a coalition of anti-administration
forces make a special session i'm
probable, say informed sources.
