CoIored Persons Win Right
On Baltimore Golf Course

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, July 2.-Judge Eu-
gene ODunne signed a writ of
mandamus yesterday requiring the
park board of Baltimore to permit
colored persons to use all four of
the municipal golf courses.
A Superior Court jury decided
the case Saturday but Judge
ODunne withheld the final order
pending hearing on motions filed
by the city solicitor in an effort
to block issuance of the writ.
The court overruled a motion to
set aside the verdict on the grounds
1t was not received in the presence
of the judge and refused to stay
execution of the writ pending an
appeal. Judge ODunne pointed
out that an all-white jury had de-
cided in favor of the colored tax
payers.
Heretofore, one course has been
set aside for the use of colored per-
sons. They contended it was much
inferior to the others.

Wheat Pool 10 Feed
Axis-HeId Nations
Food Will Be Shipped
When Vessels Are Free
From War Transport
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Millions Of hungry people in Axis
occupied countries today had an
other reason to hope for United
Nations victory.
It was the decision of the United
States and four other countries to
set aside an immense pool of wheat
for the relief of war-stricken coun-
tries, to be rushed to them "as soon
as the international situation per-
mits."
That means 50 soon as available
shipping no longer is monopolized
for the transport Of the tools OF war,
and ships can carry breadstuffs In
stead of bombs, wheat instead Of
weapons, across the seas.
Price Sterilization.
Establishment of a relief pool Of
not less than 100000, 900 bushels is
only one Of the features Of the wheat
agreement made public yesterday,
with the United States, Great Brit
ain, Canada, Australia and Argen-
tina as signatories. Other provi-
sions relate to the control Of wheat
production, stocks and exports and
the cooperation Of all five countries
in the stabilization of prices.
What urgently matters to hungry
millions, however, is the picture Of
plenty disclosed In the paragraphs
Of the pact and in the facts Of the
situation 1t Is designed to meet.
The combined wheat surplus OF
the four exporting countries In
volved now aggregates nearly 1,5oo,-
600 900 bushels. Defeat Of the Axis
will clear the seas for peaceful COM
merce and put that wheat into
circulation. The ultimate aim is
restoration of the international
wheat trade on a sound basis: but
to make sure the hungry millions
will get bread without delay as
soon as the war is won the 100000
000-bushel relief pool is created.
U. s. TO Give 5e,o0o, 900 Bushels.
Donations Of wheat from the
participating countries will keep the
pool heaped up and running over
with breadstuffs. Under the agree
ment the United States is obligated
to give $4,000, 900 bushels, Canada
and Great Britain agree to give
Is, ,000, 900 each.
The agreement provides that as
additional wheat for the pool is
needed, Argentina, Australia, Can
ada and the United States will con-
tribute amounts to be determined
among themselves.
Britain, as a wheat-trading center
rather than wheat-producing coun-
try, may contribute transportation
of relief wheat and flour, rather
than wheat itself, as her share of
the pool

Broad changes in price control
over machines, parts and machine

Office of Price Administration yes

Subcontracted parts and subas-

A more recent ceiling date, March

The same base date was prescribed
for machinery services.
Manufacturers of special ma

Congress Heads Try
In Vain 10 Release
Funds
Conferees DeodIocked
Despite Pressure
By Administration
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
For the second day Of the new
fiscal year the Agriculture De-
partment operated without funds
today as congressional leaders
sought in vain for a break in the
deadlock which has stalled ac-
ton on the departments $780,
100000 appropriation.
1t was reported that the depart
ment was making no contracts or
commitments, but otherwise it was
functioning as usual. The depart
ment's next pay day is six days off.
Despite strong administration
pressure, there was no sign of an
immediate break in the 4-to-4 dead
lock among Senate -House conferees
over number of disagreements in
the original bill. The principal
stumbling block was reported to be
an administration request for au-
thority to sell wheat at below parity
prices If necessary.
May Act Next Week.
Some conferees were ready to
take before the House and Senate
a simple resolution to make the
bills funds available for a month
at least, but they could not get an
agreement even on that.
There was a strong possibility
that no action toward making the
funds available would come before
either chamber until next week un-
less basic differences are reconciled.
Meanwhile, with both Senate and
House preparing to clear their decks
for weekend holiday, Senator
Russell, Democrat, of Georgia ar
ranged to bring before the Senate
a measure to raise Government
loans on basic crops to 100 per cent
of parity. The present figure is
IS per cent. A subcommittee begins
hearings on a 81 900, 900 900 supple

On the assumption the new S.

House by July 20 and 60 before the
Senate Finance Committee immedi-
ately, Democratic Leader Barkley
suggested in the Senate yesterday
the possibility of a months con-
gressional recess about that time.
Even before Senator Barkley fin-
ished speaking, however, Senator
Thomas, Republican, of Idaho arose
to declare II think we'll be severely
criticized II we adjourn" The Ken
tuckian rejoined that We'll be criti-
cized whether we adjourn or not"
Republican Leader McNary also
questioned the propriety of taking
a formal recess, but suggested it
