Higher Corn Ceilings
Urged by 0'Conor 10
Boost Feed Supply
Says Crop Statistics
Show 5 Per Cent Drop in
Maryland Milk Output
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 27.-A
proposal of Governors from the
Northeastern States that ceiling
prices of corn be raised to increase
feed supplies for cattle and chickens
was supported by Gov. O'Conor
today.
With Maryland production Of
milk affected most adversely by the
shortage of corn, it is incumbent
upon officials to make every effort
possible to secure increased iced
supplies" Gov. O'Conor said.
The Governor asserted that latest
crop statistics reports showed a S
per cent reduction In Maryland milk
output from the l0-year average.
while November milk production
has improved over the preceding
month, when milk production per
COW on October was II per cent
below year ago, the situation is
still not favorable" he said.
"As long as the Western farmer,
who raises corn as cash crop, can
realize much more than the ceiling
price of SLOT per bushel by convert
ing 1t into pork, it is hardly likely
that the present unfavorable situa-
ton here will change-hence the
tentative projected recommends ton
that the ceiling price be raised to a
level that will bring these farmers
into the market"
Representing Maryland at the
Governors Conference was DR.. K. L.
Turk, head of the Department Of
Animal Husbandry at the University

Silver Spring Post
OF Legion Asks Larger
State Aid Committee
Group Says Gov. O'Conor
Possesses Authority Now
To Meet Their Request

Expansion of the Maryland Vet
erans' Commission to provide ade-
quately for the rehabilitation of the
returned veterans Of all wars, par
ticularly the thousands OF men and
women engaged in the present con-
f1ict, has been recommended by
CiSsel-Saxon Post, American Le-
gion, of Silver Spring. it was an
nounced yesterday by John F. Col
lier, commander.
Pointing out there is authority
already lodged in the Governor of
Maryland for the appointment of
such additional officers as may be
necessary for the functioning of
the commission, resolution adopt
ed by the post requests that Gov.
O'Conor Immediately appoint at
least one assistant veterans service
officer and such other service off,
GERS as may be necessary for each
county"
The measure asks that the officers
be located centrally in each county
so that they may be in a position to
assist wounded Maryland veterans
and their dependents to make claim
and receive the benefits to which
they are entitled by law. This, it
asserts. would reduce appreciably
the number of veterans or their de-
pendents who will need additional
aid from Maryland.
Last year $6,384 ,602 was spent by
the Federal Government in rehabili-
tation to Maryland veterans, it was
stated. This amount went to 8,48l
living veterans and 3,425 heirs of
deceased veterans.
With the influx Of thousands of
veterans from the present war dur
ing the next few years, the task of
handling the huge amounts of
money involved is far beyond the
capacity of the Maryland Veterans
Commission. which consists of one
State service officer and one assist
ant, the measure asserts.
Based on knowledge secured from
past wars, it is estimated that not
less than $4,000 dead, wounded or
diseased veterans from Maryland
who are In this war will be entitled
to Federal pension benefits.
Mr.. Collier said the recommended
ton has the Endorsement of the
Southern Maryland District, Amer
ican Legion. and will be sent to the
Executive Committee, Department
of Maryland, for action.

Several changes in the Cathedral

service through the Cathedral is ap-
preciated fully by DR.. Dun. He en-
phasized this at a press conference

The appeal of the Cathedral was
stressed as one of the four oppor-

The first task OF the Bishop of
Washington as he saw it was the
opportunity to be a real pastor to

Discussing the application for the
Washington Ottawa air route, A. N.
Kemp, president of American Air
lines, said:
There is a wartime necessity for
fast, direct air service between Of
tawa and Washington. We believe
the Civil Aeronautics Board should
assign this application for immediate
hearing. The community of political
and economic interest between the
capitals of Canada and the United
States is self-evident and has been
augmented because of the war.
There are military and govern
mental problems affecting the two
nations engaged in defending con-
tinent and waging a foreign war,
which demand nothing less than the
most rapid transportation possible.
Now an Involved Trip.
Travel by air between Ottawa and
Washington now involves a choice
between two devious routes-the
shorter of which, via Montreal, is
accomplished by the use of three
different airlines. :"
One flight, originating here at 8
am. on the Pennsylvania Central

Pittsburgh, Youngstown, Cleveland
and Detroit, arriving at Detroit at
1908 pm. Return flights will leave
Detroit at 12:40 pm. and 8:35 pm,
