the railroad tracks had been

This forced them TO make de-

as normal wartime traffic - Troll

vate cars were moving.

firing a shot, the pilot obviously
having been informed that plane

similarly advised and the Italian

Dorden Requests Ruling
On Release of Funds

RICHMOND, April (P,.-Gov.
Darden has asked Attorney General
A. P. Staples for a ruling on the
question of the constitutionality OF
releasing by executive order the
s750,000 in State money proposed by
the Governor for raising salaries Of
school teachers
The Governor conferred with Mr..
Staples yesterday after the question
was raised in friendly spirit by a
legislator in response to a letter
mailed to members of the General
Assembly.
Any further action toward releas-
ing the money will be postponed
pending receipt of written opinion
from the attorney general, the
Governor said.
Approximately 40 members of the
General Assembly have been heard
from so far and all these have ex-
pressed favor of the plan.
The name Of the legislator raising
the question of constitutionality was
withheld because the Governor had
stated in his letter that the replies
would be held confidential.
Gov. Darden expressed as his own
opinion that the granting of the
money was covered by law and pre-
cedent,' although he has long en-
tertained the view" that appropria-
tlons of money should be made by
elected representatives of the" people.
He explained that his authority to
provide the additional $780, 900 rested
in his authority to authorize deficits.
The proposed grant would not &C
tually be released for several months.

Prince Georges Maps
Student Land Army
School Boord to Vote
On Proposal April 13

Plans are being made to employ
high school students on Prince
Georges County farms during rush"
seasons to help relieve the farm
labor shortage, it was learned today.
According to tentative proposals,
schools where large percentage of
the pupils express a desire to work
on farms will hold halliday ses-
sions, while in other schools, indi-
vidual students will be excused after
arrangements have been made for
them to make up their work.
Superintendent Of Schools Nicholas
Orem said that to date, about 500
pupils in IL of the countys high
schools have signif1ed their desire
to participate in such a program.
The plan will be presented for final
approval to the Board of Educa-
tion at it's meeting in Upper Marl-
boro April 13.
Elementary school pupils between
IA and 16 years of age may be re-
leased from school for such work
provided written application is made
to the Board of Education by the
parents. it is proposed.
Farmers who need help in har-
vesting their crops would apply to
the principal OF the high school
nearest them, Mr.. Orem explained
While he emphasized that the pro-
gram would not solve the farm labor
problem. Mr.. Orem expressed the
hope that it would be of great helm.

Prince Georges Aide
Hits Repeal Of Ban
On Garbage for Hogs
Enactment Would Put
County Back 5 Years.
Engineer Wood Says

Enactment of bill introduced in
the Maryland Senate permitting
garbage to be hauled to hog farms
in Prince Georges County and re-
peallng the present law prohibiting
such practice would put the county
back about five years. County SAM
tary Engineer c. L. Wood declared
today.
Mr.. Wood pointed out that under
the present law permanent relief
could be given to residents of areas
near hog farms who recently have
filed complaints with the health
department.
He explained that the feeding of
garbage to hogs results in a plague
of rats and flies and is otherwise
detrimental to health. He added
that hogs could be fed properly on
grain or pasture, as in the Middle
West.
Enforcement of the present law
is being held up pending DISPOSE
ton of two cases before the Mary
land Court of Appeals. Both in
volve farmers charged with feeding
garbage to hogs.
Many hog farmers in the county
have complained that the present
measure "is forcing them out of
business" They claim they would
not be able to feed hogs econom-
ically with grain or other feed.
The bill now pending before the
Legislature is said to be the out
growth of hearing seven months
ago before the county commission
ers at which Robert w. Mccullough,
attorney for number of hog farm
ers. asked the commissioners to
recommend the introduction of a
repeater of the present law.
