More UnskiIIed Labor

depend more on unskilled labor than
in 1943, according to an outline of
the 1914 farm program by the
University Of Maryland Extension
Service.
According to the outline, 81 per
cent Of the total workers on Mary
land farms during the peak produc-
ton month Of June were women,
and the outline predicts that this
percentage will be raised this year.
AL sources Of labor must be mobi-
lized by communities for harvesting,
operations, 1t was pointed out, and
farmers were urged to cooperate
through the exchange of labor and
equipment at peak periods. Farmers

ton to teaching unskilled workers.

Less butterIlli|k,
More Cream
FDA Rules Also
Likely to Cut
Chocolate Milk

More cream and less buttermilk
and chocolate milk are In store for
Washington consumers as the re-
suit Of recently issued amendment
to the October order, which limited
milk sales to rs per cent Of June
quotas, District dairymen said today.
Under the amendment issued BY
Roy F. Hendrickson, director of the
Food Distribution Administration,
and made retroactive to January l.,
George Irvine, FDA marketing ad-
ministrator for the Washington
area, has been authorized to permit
dairymen to shift to milk production
solids now used in production Of by.
products, or to shift solids now used
In producing milk into production
OF cream, provided the additional
cream sales made possible do not
exceed 100 per cent of June cream
sales.
Buttermilk, chocolate milk and
cottage cheese are the three chief
by-products. Since Washington
dairymen already have discontinued
manufacture Of cottage cheese in
order to release to milk and cream
the solids 1t required, further in
creases In cream production will be
at the expense Of present buttermilk
and chocolate milk quotas.
Order Called "Good News"
THE order Is good news to cream
consumers, for it means they will be
able to get 100 per cent Of what they
used IN June" Clark Diamond of the
Chestnut Farms-Chevy Chase Dairy
and a member Of the Washington
Marketing Administrator Commit
tee. said today.
A. L. Thompson Of Thompson,s
Dairy. another member of the ad-
visory committee. said the amend
ment represented a definite relax
alton Of the October order.
Otto Phillips OF the Wakefield
Dairy, also a member OF the ad-
visory committee. said that under
the amendment his dairy would in
crease its cream sales IS per cent.
He pointed out that the order which
limited cream sales to rs per cent
OF the sales in June, a low cream
consumption month, actually had
had the effect of reducing cream
sales during the high-consumption
winter period by approximately so
per cent.
Rules Flexibility Lauded.
M. H. Burchell of the Alexandria
Dairy Products Co., said his dairy
was still working on plans for re-
ALLEGATION of its solids under the
amendment, but asserted that 1T
Is not going to do us much good"
The dairymen expressed approval
OF the flexibility permitted under
the amendment whereby, when
cream demand drops of and the de-
mand for by-products increases
with the return of hot weather. they
will be able to shift their solids back
to the manufacture OF products
most in demand.

CuIlum May Seek
Congressional Seat;
Attacks Lee S Paper
Letter to Walker Asks
Publications 2d-CIoss
Permit Be Voided

Dyke Cullum, acting postmaster
Of Silver Spring. today launched an
attack on the Maryland News, a
Montgomery County newspaper ed
tied and published by 1t. Col. E.
Brooke Lee, county Democratic
leader, and at the same time re-
vealed he is seriously considering
running for Congress.
Mr.. Cullum said several hun
dred" persons have asked him to
consider running as Democratic can
didate for Congress, but he is await
ing developments on his request to
the Civil Service Commission to have
his eligibility for the postmastership
at Silver Spring reconsidered. He
refused any further statement pend
ing the outcome of his fight to be
placed on the eligibility list.
In a letter to Postmaster General
Walker, Mr.. Cullum declared that
in his opinion the Maryland Publish
ing Co. of Silver Spring, which pub
fishes the Maryland News, is not
conforming with requirements for
second-class mailing privileges.
Outlines Situation.
The newspaper, he says, is pub
lished in Silver Spring and does not
maintain an ONCE in: Washington,
where the publication is entered as
second-class matter and the revenue
paid.
THE Maryland News" the letter
states, "is published within the let
ter-carrier service of this ofnce, only
four blocks down the street.
Through having Washington,
D. c. permit, it avoids inspections
made by this Office which are man
datory for us to make of its COM
petitors. To be fair to all of the
papers enjoying the second-class
privilege, published in Silver Spring,
l recommend that the second-class
privilege granted the Maryland
News through Washington, D. c.,
be Cancelled"
If the Maryland News wants to
KEEP its second-class privilege" Mr.
Cullum said, 'it should be required
to file an application with this
office" In this manner he added
"the revenue that is rightfully due
the Silver Spring Office will be forth
coming, and regular weekly inspec-
tions can be made of its publication
the same as we do with its COM
petitors."
Lee Defends Practice.
Col. Lee said today he has been
advised that the fact the Maryland
News for 18 years has been entered
as second-class matter at Washing
ton, and mailed from the Washing
ton City Post Office, while printed
at Silver Spring, is not violation
OF the second-class mail regulations.
THE regulations as to circulation,
inspection, ETC., are exactly the same
in Washington as in Silver Spring. :"
Col. Lee declared. ITO mail in
Washington the Maryland News
hauls its own paper to the WASH
ington City Post Office and pays
postage back from Washington to
Silver Spring for the deliveries.
This process saves a day in de-
livery service to the subscribers of
the paper and is consequently worth
the additional cost and effort on our
part. The same procedure has been
going on ever since Mr.. Cullum be-
came postmaster year ago."
Post Office officials said they had
not reviewed Mr.. Cullum's complaint,
but added that under postal regula-
tions publication must maintain
an Office at the point from which it
Is mailed

 Terrific Monsoon

The Davao airdrome, bar racks and supply depots took the bulk of the punishment, and re- turning fliers reported numerous fires and heavy explosions
 A monsoon was so extensive that some of the big bombers couldn't get through, instead dumping their explosives to the south on the Japanese garrisons on Malaud Is- land.
 At Morotai, invaded September IS, advance patrols ran into stub born enemy resistance on a small scale. The actual invasion was vir- tually unoppOsed, with defenders fleeing to the hills.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-A bill to transfer control of Territories and Possessions from the Department of the Interior to the Navy Depart ment is being drafted at the request of Rep. w. Sterling Cole, Repub- lican of New York, for introduction after the election.
 Cole said the measure would cre- ate an Assistant Secretary of the Navy whose sole responsibility would be the administration of territorial matters. Cole told reporter the proposal is made because from an economic and political standpoint the United States has not followed a coherent territorial policy because we never had an agency of govern ment whose primary responsibilities was territorial problems.
 Tn my view, since our Territories and Possessions were acquired out of military consideration, their admin istration should be under military department. The Navy is the proper department"
 Cole also disclosed he would like to be Chairman of the House In- sular Affairs Committee for which he is eligible if the Republicans gain control of the House of Representa- tives.

FIVE GREAT 0FFEN5IvE5
 BY 5TALIN
Special Order of Day Dis closes Movements
 of Red Army

LONDON, Sept. 21-In a special order of the day, issued last night by Stalin and then broadcast from Moscow, it was announced the Russian troops had broken through the German defenses in the of fensive north of Tartu, Estonia, capturing more than 1900 com munities.
 The Soviet order also announced the Red Army moved forward 43 miles on the 75-mile front in four days.
 The order was addressed to Mar shal Govorov and also his Lenin- grad Front Army.
 The order revealed five great offensives are underway, two of them being Govorovs army, two others driving upon Riga from the south and east and another pound- ing on from Volga on the Es- tonian-Latvian, border.
 Marshal Govorov's Red Army veterans of Leningrad, having de- stroyed the northern anchorage of the main German Baltic Line in a massive sweep across Estonia, raced forward today in a double barreled drive on the army escape port of Tallinn.
 Gains are reported from 35 to A miles in which formidable Ger man defenses have been wiped out.
 The Red Army communique is silent on Warsaw, simply saying Russian groups have crossed the Vistula.
