BALTIMORE, May 19.-Forum
discussion of the church's postwar
program in the parish and commu-
nifty with respect to needs of return.
ing war veterans marked final
sessions yesterday of the NationaI
Conference on the Ministry of the
Church to service men and women
Following an address by the Rev
DR.. John H. Gardner, pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church, Balti-
more, M. j. Creeger, chairman OF
the Steering Committee for the
national conference, summarized
the activities of the meeting, the
first of series to be held through
out the country.
Dr. Gardner told the $50 Protes-
tant leaders attending that any rea-
sonable program a local church may
follow must be conditioned by what
the returning serviceman will be like
and the kind of gospel each parish
seeks to interpret.
In a forum on planning the pro-
gram of the church in the local
community, John w. Harms, execu-
tive srecetary of the Church FEEDER
alton of Greater Chicago, advocated
national plan of cooperation with
the Catholic, Jewish and Protestant
services on the same basis.
Using the present USO steup as
an example, Mr.. Harms said Protes-
tant cooperation on the community
level was much less inherent in
national structure than that of the
Roman Catholics or Jews.
This agency, the Chicago leader
asserted, should relate the Protes-
tants as closely to such organiza-
tions as the USO as the Catholic
and Jewish churches are related to
them.

Tobacco Selling
In Maryland at
|62-Cent Ceiling
Growers Appear
Well Satisfied as
Bidding S Resumed

Southern Maryland tobacco grow
ers were receiving the ceiling price
OF So cents pound for top quality
tobacco a few minutes after sales
were resumed today at two Of Marl-
boro's three tobacco warehouses.
Growers generally expressed sat
isfaction with prices being paid by
the three major cigarette com.
panies, and predicted that 45-
cents-a-pound average, established
on the market by 10 am, would
Jump to SO cents pound by the
close Of sales today.
Sales began at Edelen Bros, and
the Planters Tobacco Warehouses
at $50 am, and win be resumed
at the Marlboro Tobacco Market as
soon as bidding is completed at the
first two warehouses.
Frank Hall, president of the Marl-
boro Tobacco Market, said the towns
three warehouses were loaded" with
tobacco for the opening sales, and
estimated that 350,0O0 to 10000
pounds would go to buyers during
the day
All Reopening Today.
The markets at Marlboro opened
briefly May 9, but closed when sell
ers refused to offer their crops under
the OPA seasonal average price CELL
ing Of So cents pound. The mar
kets at Waldorf, La Plata and
Hughesville closed at the regular
closing hour that day.
Warehousemen and growers agreed
to reopen today following a new OPA
order cancelling the ceiling price
average and establishing q top CELL
ing Of So cents pound for tobacco.
The average ceiling, sellers protested,
tended to reduce prices paid for
quality leaf since the larger buyers
wanted only that type Of tobacco
and were forced to maintain the
average as their top price.

sumed operations yesterday. saw
