Gov. 0'Conor 10 Push
Reconstruction Plans
Before Crisis Arises
Declares Stote Must Take
Leod in Establishing
Postwar Proerom
BY the Associated Press.

bS ne associated PrPSS.
BALTIMORE, March I5.-Broad
plans for postwar reconstruction in
Maryland were outlined by Gov
O'Conor in his weekly report of leg
islative developments, as he declared
Free Staters in the armed forces
would find more than a glad hand"
awaiting them on their return.
In radio talk over Station WFBR
yesterday Gov O'Conor, urging
adoption by the General Assembly
of an administration bill providing
for q commission on postwar re-
construction and development, said
we are going to plan postwar re-
construction now and not wait until
the crisis is upon u.s."
I'VE must provide gainful employ
ment when this war is over. We
must make our State a better place
to live in by eliminating grade
crossings, building wider and better
roads, providing much needed ex-
pdt1SlOtl vi oGdtc lllSUlJutlOIldI IdCll-
tiles, and instituting the greatest
expansion of public utility services
we have ever witnessed, so that we
can settle down and enjoy this life
and forget the horrors and tragedies
of war"
The proposed commission. he said
would make plans and surveys
prevent duplication of effort-and,
above all. have a definite program
so that we can pick up the slack as
soon as the day of victory dawns. :"
Gov. O'Conor said no State in the
Union had made proportionately
greater contribution to the indus
trial war effort than Maryland and
that no State, therefore. seemed
likely to be hit harder by the post
war let down, if and when it comes" :"
He said the State, not the Federal
Government or private industry,
must take the lead in planning for
the Free States postwar era.

that was held to put to work all
farm machinery-new and old-in
the county. The sale was held at the
Martinsburg livestock yards.
Those in charge pronounced the
experiment-the first OF It's kind
here-more of success than they
anticipated. Despite rain and mud
three auctioneers and Ave clerks
were kept working.
A total of $207l was collected. A
total Of 81 different sellers was listed
and 275 buyers. Approximately $50
different items were sold. Every
thing was taken.
Auction officials said IS per cent
OF the machinery, though old and
somewhat out of date, was usable
with little OF no repair.
The sponsors said they regarded
Vic httClIudIlCt, interest ana sales
prices as demonstrating that farm
ing was being expanded and that
machinery had to be bought where
1t could be found, and immediately.
They believe most OF the material
bought went to small operators,
many of them about to start farm
ing.
Illustrations of the high prices
paid included the following:
LoW-down wagon and bed, $74;
Case mower, around $50: binder,
around $50: highest check lines,

mand for such as showing . return

cry can't be had. Horse collars

he thought it might bring 81. The

F5A Establishing

Animals From Good Milk
Producing Stock to Be

The Farm Security Admins
tratiOn is eSta blishing a series of
calf nurseries" in Maryland,
where calves from good milk
producing cows which otherwise
might be sold for veal can be
raised and reSold to farmers on
a cost basis, William J. EnSon,
FSA supervisor for eight Mary
land counties, announced today.
Mr.. Enson said f1ve nurseries al
ready have been established. -Four
Of these are in Baltimore County
and one is in Washington County,
and others will be established from
time to time in other sections of the
State, ne said.
Declaring that good calves must
be saved if future milk production
Is TO be maintained. MI Enson said
that the calves would be purchased
only when they were being sold for
veal. He said they would be placed
on nursery farms and would be re-
sold as heifers TO dairymen TO re-
plenish their herds
He said that only calves sired bv
a purebred bull will be purchased.
IN this way, he explained, herds
may be improved through the pur-
chase of heifers raised on nursery
farms.
He explained that farmers who
operate calf nurseries on their farms
viii be paid for their trouble, and
heifers will be sold to dairymen on
a cost basis. In other words. he
added, the Government will not lose
| money and it will only cost the
dalrymen about what he would have
TO pay if he raised his own stock.
Mr.. EnSOr said the Government
was not gong into the COW business
but was only taking such steps as
/ are necessary to protect the future
milk supply. He said dealers ap-
/ preached have expressed willing
ness TO cooperate in keeping dairy
/ COWS OFF the beef market.
/ Mr.. Ensor explained that Gov.
ernment representatives only bid on

Assembly Plans
Extra Sessions
Speed Bills
Many Measures Face
Maryland Legislature
In Next Three Weeks
BY the Associated Press.

BY he Associated Press
ANNAPOLIS. March 15.-Mem-
bers of the State Legislature had a
notice today that extra night ses-
sions would be the order for the
remaining three weeks of the session
SO that the large number of meas
ures pending could be acted on be-
fore the sine die adjournment.
The legislators also had a warning
from Senate President Arthur H.
Brice that members would hear little
else but Bond bill--Bond bill
Bond bill until the measure is
passed"
Mr.. Brice referred to the admin
istration- acked Court of Appeals
reorganization bill, which would re-
duce the membership of the ap-
pellate court from eight to five and
relieve members of trial court duties.
Showdown Postponed.
A Senate showdown on the bit
terly disputed measure had been
scheduled to start tomorrow. but
senatorial foes of the bill scored
a coup Friday when they succeeded
in having the measure sent back to
the Judicial Proceedings Commit
tee, after the committee had report
ed it out favorablv.
This means that Senate debate
on the court bill will not start to-
morrow, for the committee does not
meet until then. Presumably at
least several days will elapse before
the bill reaches the full Senate once
again. Bills Incorporating Gov
O'Conor's biennial budget recon-
mendations are still in committee
and there were no indications
when they would be reported out.
The budget, one of the Legislature s
tasks, must be passed before final
adjournment.
Chairman James j Lindsay of the
Senate Finance Committee, said the
budget bill would be held in COM
mittee until some concrete plans
were worked out on the salary
standards provision setting salary
rates for State employees.
Pay Inequities Cited.
Mr.. Lindsay said department heads
had told him certain inequalities
existed in the proposed standards of
pay.
He said it would be inadvisable
to press the budget bill in the Gem
eral Assembly until a more thorough
study OF the salary provision was
made
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee also was busy studying pro-
visions of budget bill Identical to
the one in the Senate. and directed
Its attention toward reducing budget
figures wherever possible.
With the court bill, the budget
bills and several other important
measures, plus full hopper of local
proposals to be acted on in the short
period remaining, legislative leaders
who predicted at the beginning of
the session that there would be no
last minute jam this session. now
hope only, they said that the Jam
will be less than usual"

Sale Of Auto Tags

RICHMOND, March Is. - Vir-
ginia's annual automobile license
buying season opens today and
contrary to earlier expectations
based on rationed driving restric-
tions-officials of the State Divi-
sion Of Motor Vehicles now look for
tag sales almost as heavy as last

For while it appeared that the
OPA's ban on pleasure driving,
along with the other restrictions on
gasoline, tires and automobiles,
might cause many an "A" card
motorist to store away his car.

marks the start of a new gas ra-
ton period. have pretty we'll dis
PEELED this prospect.
If removal of the pleasure driv-
ing prohibition does materialize
March % it will come Just at the
right time so far as license sales
are concerned. Technically the 1912
tags expire March 81, but Is days
of grace are allowed, and the usual
buying period runs from March IS
TO April Is.
Motor Vehicle Commissioner C. F.
Joyner, jr.. urged all motorists to
procure their licenses as promptly
as possible-preferably before March
81. Early applications can be
handled quickly and the car owners
will avoid the last minute rush that
usually develops.
Sales of 1912 license plates of all
kinds amounted to 569, lis. This was
only slight decline from the 194l
figure-about "a per cent under the
589,343 plates sold for that year.
