COS remains in Maryland's defense

They estimated the money was
scarcely enough to pay State de-

months, and said the fund would
be used up much sooner If the State
Guard incurred any expenses.
The State Guard, at first paid
out of defense funds. recently was
ordered paid from State Roads Com
mission funds. Guardsmen are on
highway and bridge patrol duty.
There has been no indication yet
from Gov. O'Conor whether spe-
ciel legislative session might be
summoned.
In 1941 the Legislature appro-
priated 100000 for the defense
council and other defense purposes,
and when the State Guard was
called to active duty, $69, ,256 was
transferred from the State military
department budget for defense uses
The council has spent $16,885 and
the guard $127,766.

factors made the 1871 week a diff
fieult one to compete with while
price ceilings dampened some OF
the enthusiasm of advance buyers,
says Dun & Bradstreet. Inc. This
week compared to the preceding
week showed a 5 per cent drop.
The Monday noon to p. m.
shopping experiment continues to
attract much attention and last
Monday. the second time tried
brought further gains to the spe-
cialty stores participating. Here
gains of 20 per cent were recorded
over l94l, with also a slight gair
for the week previous. Chains, and
large apparel units anticipate only
limited price reductions in a few
lines. but smaller retailers with
hand to mouth buying programs
may be harder hit by going back
TO maximum March prices.
Among wholesalers a temporary
lull appeared, part Of il attributed
to hesitation by retailers until
price legislation is better under
stood, and part TO the early ad-
vance buying OF the current year.
Levels now are even to q maxi
mum Of 20 per cent over last year,
with collections an additional 10
per cent higher.
