Maryland Soil Loss
In Rains Is Heavy

Maryland farmers had millions of
tons of their best soil carried away
by recent rains-a loss that may
prove far greater than damage to
the States crops, DR.. T. B. Symons,
State extension service director, said
today.
DR.. Symons pointed out that while
the loss of critically needed foods
and feeds at this time is extremely
serious, the soil that is carried off
into the streams is a permanent
loss that can only be replaced by
many years of careful farming
DR.. Symons said that during a
survey of Southern Maryland farms
one eight-acre tobacco field was
found that had lost 1000 tons of
soil. This sounds high" he said,
"but this was the most badly
washed-out field I have ever seen"
AS an indication of the need for
contour farming, DR.. Symons said
tests of the soil carry-off from two
fields at the university farm dis
closed that approximately four
times as much soil was washed
from a field plowed in the usual
way as from the field that had
been plowed on the contour.

BY the Associated Press.

an incarcerated private, AWOL from

When Pvt. Daniel D. Tew, Stone
wall, Miss, and Miss Eleanor Sim

and the military police notified.
Meanwhile, the bride-elect stood
outside the Garrett County Jail
weeping bitterly. She was still there
when the MPs arrived yesterday.
TlSergt. John F. Barton, Du-

chapter.
They obtained a minister, brought
the flowers escorted the couple to a
parsonage in a jeep and acted as
witnesses.
Then they took Pvt. Tew into
custody and the briGs went back
home.
The grateful bridegroom summed

Charter Ratification
Urged by 0'Conor al
HyattsviNe Ceremony

Prompt and decisive Senate rati-
fication of the United Nations
Charter was urged by Gov. OConor
last night in an address dedicating
an honor roll to Hyattsville service
men and women at the Hyattsville
Armory.
The Charter" the Governor
said. "offers the best available pro-
gram which edom-loving nations
have been able to agree on for the
avoidance of World War III. It's
prompt and decisive ratification
will give the greatest impetus to
the worldwide quest for a lasting
peace and for the elimination of
war.
To-day we are called on to dis
card the old and to accept a new
understanding of citizenship, in re-
lation to our millions of fellow
human beings throughout the
world" he said. 1T is apparent to
every one that the old order of
fear and uncertainty must pass and
give place to new order, where
security and justice can flourish and
endure"
Asks Greater War Effort.
In dedicating the honor roll, Gov.
O'Conor urged that the citizens of
Hyattsville also make it a rededica-
ton of their hearts, in gratitude for
the courage of their fighting sons,
and show this gratitude tangibly by
redoubling their efforts to see that
our armed forces get everything
they need in the way of weapons
and supplies to bring Japan to its
knees as speedily as possible.
The roll was unveiled by parents
of 16 Hyattsville men who have
given their lives in this war. On
the honor roll are listed 1,e0o men
and women, but Mrs. John J.
Fainter, who presided last night,
read an additional list of 80 names
that will be added later

Mayor E. Murray Cover accepted
the roll on behalf of the city from

which sponsored the tribute. Mrs.
Fainter was chairman of the clubs
committee, in charge of arrange
ments.

and trash collection schedules, which

Proposes
Virginia Tax Revision
In Waynesboro Talk
BY the Associated Press.

WAYNESBORO, Va, July 49,
Moss A. Plunkett, Roanoke candi-
date for the Democratic nomina-
ton for Governor, told an audience
of Augusta County voters last night
that he proposed revision Of the
States tax policies, based on the
sound principle of ability to pay"
He also renewed his attack on
machine leaders" who he said
have remained silent on the sales
tax issue, because they plan to
fasten the SALES tax yoke around
the neck Of the people of Virginia
if they succeed in electing their
hand picked candidate for Cover
nor"
Mr.. Plunkett, who is opposed by
1t. Gov. william M. Tuck, asserted,
Il oppose the sales tax because it
is tax on the fundamental
necessities of the poor, upon their
bread and shoes. I am also op-
posed to the sales tax because ii
would impose still another burden
upon the thousands Of retail mer-
chants who are already overbur-
dened with rationing responsible
ties and hundred intricate Fed
eral, State and local forms and
licenses"
1t is unnecessary to impose fur
ther taxes, he said, while there still
is "a huge uncommitted reserve in
the State treasury"
Correction Of the many inequali-
ties in our tax system would do
much to provide additional revenue
for the new services in the field of
education, health, welfare and pub
lie construction, which I propose to
inaugurate, he added.
Many of the localities in the State
have been Impoverished to enrich
the State, and II propose revision of
the tax laws to correct the evils of
the tax segregation system"
Warning against a drop in popu-
lation after the war, he proposed
to induce Virginians to stay and to
attract new citizens by adopting a
fair tax system and encouraging
the development Of our many re-
sources, with new, diverse and prop
erly located industries, integrated
with a progressive development OF
the port of Hampton Roads"
