Maryland Puts Brake
On Poultry Expansion
War Board Feors Industry
May Outstrip Supplies
By the Associated Press.


Seeking to prevent the booming
Eastern Shore bTooder industry from
outstripping supply facilities, the
Maryland War Board of the Agri-
culture Department has taken meas
ures to block unnecessary expansion
Chairman Josenh H. Blandford
notified each of Maryiand's %
county boards to Issue construction
permits only when there are no
poultry houses idle in the respective
counties and to issue only to apph-
c2nts who have signed statements
from supply houses that chicks, feed,
and stoves will be furnished.
Further the applicants must Ger
tify that experienced labor is
available
Dudley C. Aist, assistant in charge
OF rationing, said the action should
slow down the wave of expansion
until suppliers can, increase produc-
ton and locate the necessary feed,
fuel, stoves and Matching eggs.
Poultrymen themselves reported
that mail order hatcheries are re-
turning untitled as many as 100
chick orders per day and predicted
the chick supply would be short until
December. They aisc expressed fears
OF feed shortage and recalled that
fuel was obtained last winter on a
"hand-to-mouth" basis.
During the first three months of
this year operators in five Eastern
Shore counties applied for construc-
ton permits for new brooder houses
for total capacity of 7,248,OOO birds
"a, ,440 900 pounds of meat-at a
cost of sl45, 900 for construction.

Gov. 0'Conor 10 Sian
War Council Bill
Early Next Week
Calls Present Measure
Much Less Extensive
Than Acts Elsewhere
By the Associated Press.

ANNAPOLIS. April IL Gov.
O'Conor will sign the much-dis-
cussed war council bill" when he
takes action on more than 100
legislative measures early next
week, he said yesterday.
Describing the act as a "conser-
Vative measure" Gov. O'Conor. in
formal explanation of his de-
cision to sign the bill, said that
certain objections have been made
to the bill which, in my opinion
are undeserving of serious con-
Sidel alton.
The present measure is
much less extensive than the meas
ures long since adopted and in effect
elsewhere.
In reply to the suggestion from
some quarters that there might
be the most extreme action taken
by the Defense Council and that
Our citizens might be jeopardized
IN the peaceful pursuits and left
at the mercy of relentless group y
Gov. O'Conor said that I'VE do not
haye to speculate what the Defense
Council might do.
1T 'the counciD has been operat-
ing for about three years and it's
members have rendered the highest
patriotic services through the
thoughtful and intelligent discharge
of their duties.
The bill is conservative meas
ure and one of its primary purposes
is to legalize the necessary regula-
tlons for blackouts and other pre-
cautlonary measures against enemy
attack
He said that an executive COM
mlttee would be set up, when he
signs the act, and this committee
would be composed of seven mem
bers of the Maryland Council of De-
Tense, to be selected without regard
to political affiliation and represent
ing labor, agriculture, industry and
the general public
The measure" Gov. O'Conor ex-
planned, gives specific direction to
the Executive Committee to provide
Tor varied activities such as salvage
campaigns, war production drives,
projects for the benefit of industrial
workers and members of the armed
services and other civilian programs
connected with the war effort"
The Governor added, however,
that this bill does not grant au-
thority by which existing laws can
be nullif1ed. In this respect. it is
much less drastic than, Baltimore
City ordinance No. 65S now in effect
by which ordinances can be super
seded by the action of the Mayor of
Baltimore in putting into effect rules
ana regulations. Thus far 1 have
heard no criticism of the existing

Grand Jury Favors
CheItenham School
Racial Segregation
Crime on Increase in
County, Report Says;
Police Absoived

A recommendation that the policy
of race segregation among employees
OF the Cheltenham School for Col.
ored Boys be re-established was in
cluded in the report yesterday of the
Prince Georges County grand jury
for the April term of court at Upper
Marlboro.
The action last month by tho
Board of Governors of the schoo
in abolishing race segregation there
resulted in controversy among
members of the board and culmi-
mated in the resignation of Joseph
H. Blandford as president.
Declaring that the boards decision
has resulted in chaotic condition
at the school, the grand jury urgec
That the action be "nullifed."
The group also recommended thai
10 conscientious objectors and {
regular colored employees at the
school, whom it termed responsible
for the boards action, be removed
from the institution.
IA Cases Ignored.
In his letter of resignation last
week. MI. Blandford claimed tina,
the interests of both races ARE best
served through race segregation
rather than by interracialism."
The grand jury reported that o.
12O cases presented to it 10 DAYS ago
by States Attorney A. Gwynn Bowie
lO3 indictments have been returned
Fourteen cases were ignored anc
three continued for further inves.
tlgation. A total of 300 witnesses
We're examined.
While admitting that there has
been an apparent" increase ir
crime IN the county. the grand Jury
attributed the increase to the pres
ent abnormal and unsettled con-
dltlons' rather than to laxity OF
police enforcement.
Urges Pay Increase.
Police were urged to pay partic-
ular attention to law violations anc
disturbances in liquor establish
ments throughout the county.
The group also urged that in the
future grand jurors be given in.
creased compensation. They now
receive 50 q day each.

at Upper Marlboro and of the jai
at the County Service Building i1
