Prisoners Freed
To Work Farms
| Don't All Stay

Five out of approximately 20
prisoners released by Judge James
r. Duncan of Alexandria Police
Court to 60 to work on farms have
returned to the city and have been
arrested again.
Judge Duncan said he was not at
all discouraged by this percentage as
he expected it to be even higher.
He said that if a third of the short
term offenders released actually
went to work on the farms he would
consider the experiment a success.
Most of the men whose sentences
were supended about six weeks ago
were serving terms for drunkenness
or vagrancy. The suspension of the
sentences will be revoked if they
are seen in Alexandria and cannot
prove that they have farm jobs.
Judge Duncan said that the court
has no means of making a periodic
check on the men.
Other men whose records justify
release and who agree to take farm
jobs will get suspended sentences,
Judge Duncan said.
He believes that employment Of
these men, under supervision
wherever possible, will prove help
in relieving the shortage of farm
labor.

O'Conor today wrote Secretary of the
Interior Ickes asking that the United
States Fish and Wildlife Service sur
vey the oyster production resources
of Chesapeake Bay.
Gov. O'Conor said that the State

Maryland Considers
Mail College Courses
For Servicemen
Dr.. Byrd Approves Plan;
Would Be Open to Men
In Any Part Of Forces
BY the Associated Press,

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Oct. 20.-Mary-
land men in the armed services may
be able to dust off their text books
and start plugging at their studies
again under a new correspondence
course plan being considered for the
University of Maryland.
Gov O'Conor announced today
that DR.. H. C. Byrd, university presi-
dent, had been consulted in regard
to the plan and had approved it.
The program would make available
to men in any of the armed forces
the advantages of further education
during their service
Gov. O'Conor said additional ap-
preparations for the university had
been considered to support the cor
respondence course.
The plan already has been greatly
successful in Wisconsin, where it
first was undertaken, the Governor
added.
Many men who partially have
completed their college education
are entering the services. Many
more of these will become members
of the armed forces when the men
from the Is and 10 year old brackets
are called.
Such a plan would make it pos
sible for these men to complete their
education and thus be better fitted
to take their places in the world
when the war is over,' Gov. O'Conor
explained.
1t was indicated the recent pro-
posal in Washington that no defer
ments be allowed after limited
period had prompted Gov. O'Conor
to suggest inclusion of the CORE
spondence courses in the univer-
sity's program.
Under the proposed courses
service men from Maryland could
select the subjects they wished tc
study from a list to be supplied BY
the university. Material would be
mailed directly to the men and ex-
aminations would be given at regular
intervals.
All the course would be supervised
by the university teaching staff OF
by a special department set up fol
the purpose, to be determined by
DR.. Byrd or the schools Board OF
Regents if the plan is adopted.

tank forces in this power drive, the
Russians said, indicating the terrain

and mud. On other fronts Of the
long front from Leningrad to the

to be sparring for an opening.
