Dispute on Veto
Ended by Direct

Por!.ey Committee
Expected to Approve
Agreement Today
TRUMAN SAYS BIG THREE will

Star Staff Correspondent,

SAN FRANCISCO June g.
The troublesome Yalta, voting
formula, accompanied by a
unanimous Big Five declaration
that their veto powers cannot
be used against presentation and
discussion of an international
dispute in the proposed world
security council, was before a
United Nations Conference COM
mittee for action today.
The unanimous agreement of the
Big Five-the United States, Britain
Russia, China and France-assures
successful completion of the charter
being drafted here for a United Ma
tions organization to maintain
peace.
An American appeal directly to
Premier Stain brought Russian ad-
herence yesterday to the agreement
that the veto powers granted the
Big Five permanent members of the
security council cannot be used to
block presenta ton and discussion of
disputes.
Question of Interpretation.
This was victory for the position
steadfastly maintained by the
United States, in which the British,
Chinese and French concurred. Of
flcials here say the difference with
Russia was question of two differ
ent interpretations-not of trying to
modify the Yalta agreement in any
way.
Confidence was expressed by con-
ference leaders that the Yalta voting
formula-still stipulating that the
Big Five would have to concur in
any effective decision to enforce
peace-would be approved by the
committee called to consider it this
afternoon.
Few Major Points Left.
The breaking of the deadlock on
the veto will hasten conclusion of
the work of the conference. Only
few important points await action

Patients Misfreated
AT Veterans Hospital
House Inquiry Told
Firing Of u Attendants
From Institutional
Northport, N. Y, Revealed
GEN. BRADLEY to head Veterans
Administration; new NLRB chair
man chosen. Page A-12
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES

Dy San l. EN- DnOOhL JoNCS.
Charges of cruelty to patients
in the veterans neuro-psychia-
trio hospital at Northport, N. Y,
involving % attendants, IS of
them soldiers, were aired today
before the House Veterans Com
mittee.
The committee, engaged in gen.
eral investigation of veterans hos
pitals, was told that Is soldiers as
signed as attendants at Northport
had been court-martialed, while
charges against seven civilian at
tendants had been turned over to
the Justice Department for possible
prosecution.
At the outset of the hearing to-
day, Chairman Rankin announced
that Gen. Omar N. Bradley, named
to succeed Brig. Gen. Frank T.
Hines as veterans administrator,
would be invited to come before
the committee at an early date and
give any views he might care to
express.
Mr.. Rankin had said earlier that
the appointment of Gen. Bradley
would not affect the committees
investigation. He said the COM
mittee would get to the bottom of
the charges against medical serv-
ice for veterans, as it had planned.
The information concerning the
Northport Hospital was furnished by
Edward E. Odom, solicitor of the
Veterans Administration. The mat
ter was brought up by Representa-
tive Kcarney, Republican, of New
York during examination of Col.
John H. Baird, director OF neuro-
psychiatry in the Veterans Admin
istration.
Mr.. Odom and Col Baird saiG
they did not know the results of the
court proceedings or wheth-
er the seven civilians had been in
dicted but all had been dropped
from the hospital
Representative Scrivner, Repub-
lican, of Kansas asked if any phy-
sicians attached to the hospital had
been disciplined because of the al
legged mistreatment of patients.
Col. Baird replied that the in
vestigation has not been completed
but that none had been disciplined
so far.
Col. Baird said there were several
classes of disciplinary measures
taken against doctors when the ad-
ministration felt they had been neg
ligent. The mildest, he said, was
"admonishment." Next. he said,
came reprimand, which involved
loss of some rights to promotion.
In more serious cases the doctor
could be discharged, he explained.
The witness said he did not recall
any instances since he had been at
the Veterans Administration where
a doctor had been dismissed for
neglect of duty, but there had been
cases where they had been denoted
and reassigned. Often in cases of
mistreatment, he told the commit
tee, there are extenuating circum-
stances. He said the doctor prob
ably has been too loaded with work
to know of an attendants conduct.
Dispute Over Invitation.
But that doesn't help the pa
tients," Representative Scrivner
commented.
The committee resumed hearings
today with a row over whether a
new veterans organization formed
of men who served in this war
should be invited to appear next

proposed to the trusteeship chapter.
Estimates of the date of adjourn
ment run from June Is to June %,
depending on the degree of op-
timism. President Truman plans to
come here for the conference
windup.
Premier Stain gets credit for
agreeing to yield Russia's position
on the discussion veto" in the in
terests of harmony. There was no
horse trading, it was declared here.
When Harry Hopkins, President
Trumans special representative, laid
before Premier Stain cabled mes
sage from Secretary of State Stet-
tinius, giving the final position of
the United States and asserting the
conference would not agree to any,
thing less, Premier Stain acted.
BY so doing he maintained the unity
of the Big Five-necessary not only
for successful conference action on
the charter, but also for action in
the proposed world organization.
To Secretary Stettinius goes great
credit for the successful handling
of this crisis which all but disrupt
ed the conference.
He initiated the idea of having
the issue taken up directly with
Premier Stain by Mr.. Hopkins. He
first telephoned President Truman in
Washington and obtained his agree
ment to go ahead He sent a cable
Sunday to Moscow for Mr.. Hopkins
couched in serious terms and warm
ing of the consequences if Russia
persisted in its position.
Gr0myko Gets Instructions.
Immediately Mr.. Hopkins and Am
bassador Hartman approached Pre-
mier Stain on the issue, with final
satisfactory result. President Tru-
man and Mr.. Stettinius were pri-
vately advised they had gained their
point and the Russians would agree
Russian Ambassador Gromyko re-
ceived his instructions from Moscow
Wednesday night. At a Big Five
meeting yesterday, he announced
that Russia, in spirit of concilia-
ton and a desire to preserve the
principle of unanimity and to con-
clude the work of the conference
had agreed to the United States po-
sition.
A lengthy statement, agreed to
by the Big Five, setting forth their
understanding of the operation of
the Yalta voting formula, was pre-
sented today to the conference COM
mittee having charge of this matter.
The statement said that the voting
formula covers two broad groups of
functions, one involving substantive
decisions by the security council
and the other procedural decisions.
In the first group. the veto power
of five permanent members of the
council will apply. The one excep-

MARYLAND RURAL NEGRO
STUDY

Definite information on which to
build satisfactory extension pro-
gram for Negroes in Maryland is the
objective of study started in July
of this year, according to DR.. T. b.
Symons, Director of the Extension
Service.
Scheduled to be completed by De-
cember 81, 1916, this survey is de-
signed to obtain facts regarding the
economic and social status of Negro
families in Maryland. 1t is being
conducted by the Department of Ag-
ricultural Economics, headed by DR..
S. II. DeVault and Is financed by the
General Education Board and the
University of Maryland.
The study will be statewide, DR..
Symons states, although special at
tention will be given to Southern
Maryland and the lower Eastern
Shore, which have more concentra-
ted Negro population. In the state as
whole, Negroes constitute II per
cent of the population, according to
the 1910 U. s. Census. They make
up 25 percent of the population in
Southern Maryland and 28 percent
on the lower Eastern Shore. A large
percentage of those in the latter
areas are classified as rural.
Information will be obtained from
both farm and rural non-farm Me-
gro families, DR.. Symons says 1t will
include tenure; size and value of
holdings; productive enterprises:
products grown and used at home;
products marketed; income type
and availability of market outlets;
condition, value and adequacy of
farm buildings and dwellings,; home
facilities and living conditions; size
nd c, IMPOSITION of family; formal
education of parents and out-of-
school children; health status; par
ticipation in community organiza-
tions; rural-urban migration; and
other facts that will accurately re-
fleet the situation and the needs.
Information will be obtained by
terviews witk several hundred fam
s; workers will also have access
20 records and publications of the U.
S. Bureau of Census, State Depart
ment of Education; State Depart
ment of Health; State Office of the

COMMUNITY CANNING FOR
OVERSEAS RELIEF

Southern dishes including okra,
turnip greens, and black-eyed peas,
are among the foods now being can
ned for the hungry people in liberat-
ed Europe, Dan A. West, Executive
Director of the Community Canning
Program for War Relief, announced.
He pointed out that Southern boys
and girls who are members of the
Future Farmers, New Farmers, and
Future Homemakers of America, are
the pace-setters in their states In the
canning program. In Georgia, for ex-
ample, members of these organiza-
tions have pledged to contribute
more than half the food now being
canned in tin for overseas relief at
the 449 chool-community canneries
in that state. Georgia's contributions
of canned foods are expected to ex-
ceed 194, 400 cans, or enough to fill
nine freight cars, according to re-
port by T. G. Walters, Georgia State
Supervisor of Vocational Agriculture.
In Pennsylvania, Future Farmers
and Future Homemakers chapters In
Wyoming and Sullivan counties are
taking the lead in the canning pro-
gram. The entire crop of large field
of beans grown by Future Farmers
in the small community of Tunkhan-
mock, Pa, will be canned for war re-
lief. This will be $500 cans.
Negro teachers in North Carolina
report that 10000 cans of food put
up at their school canneries will be
donated for overseas relief.
Reports from other local commit
tees who are supporting the nation
wide canning campaign indicate
equally gratifying results, Mr.. West
declared. The response, he said, is
particularly good in the smallest
state in the union. Users of rs Rhode
island community Gaming centers are
not only stepping up production of
canned food in order to donate the
surplus above local needs for over
seas relief but will contribute
large percentage of the food which
has been canned earlier in the sea-
son. AT least 1900 cans of food will
be donated by groups using the COM
munity canning center at baking
powder plant in that state, the Rum
ford Chemical Works. In Florida, the
canning program for overseas relief
will be undertaken during the winter
months when new crops of fruits and
| vegetables will be harvested.
UNRRA will ship the donated food
| liberated Europe where it will be
distributed free without any discrin-
nation whatever. Tie supervised
| leighbOrhood canneries where the
| Jrgoram is now under way include
many church social rooms and home
demonstration kitchens of public uti-
| tiles, as well as custom canneries
and school-community centers.

SOME CROPS EXPECTED no TOP
AVERAGE

Although Maryland farmers are
expected to experience serious losses
in their tobacco and tomato crops
this year, estimated yields of corn,
sweet potatoes and oats will be great
er than the annual average produc-
tion in the 1934-43 period, figures
released by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture have disclosed.
A total of 17,242,OO0 bushels of
corn, 1921, 200 bushels of oats, and
100000 bushels of sweet potatoes
is expected to be harvested in the
State this year. the departm ant's
crop forecasting service indicated.
If the estimate dyield is fulfilled,
the increase over the average annual
production in the 1934-43 period will
be $4,000 bushels of corn, 10000
bushels of oats and 226,000 bushels
of sweet potatoes.
This years tobacco crop is expect
ed to be approximately $500, 900
pounds less than the average yearly
yield in the ten-year period.
While tomatoes for sale on the
fresh market are expected to total
$4,000 bushels CT $4,000 bushels
more than the average yield in the
1934-43 period, tomatoes for canning
are expected to total 5000 tons or
about $4,000 tons less than the an
nual average crops.
Previously, DR.. T. B. Symons, di-
rector of the University of Maryland
extension service, said injury to
Maryland crops would cause loss of
about $21, 100000 to farmers in the
State.

MARYLAND'S FARM FRONT

More than 1000 Maryland farmers
have already applied for federal crop
insurance protection of their 1916,
1947 and 194S wheat crop against
unavoidable losses, according to JOS
eph H. Blandford, State AAA Com
mittee Chairman. The insurance pro-
tects the farmers investment in the
wheat crop from the day of seeding
until after the harvest and assures
kim of an income from the land in
spite of crop loss.
Farmers, landlords, and tenants
may apply for the insurance of the
wheat crop, at a premium rate which
varies in the different counties for
a guarantee of returns equal to rs
percent of average yield, or 3 bushel
per acre per year for guarantee of
returns equal to SO percent of aver
age yield. To be practical, the insur-
ance must be planned on three
year period of crops.
Success of the wheat crop insur-
anee program as Judged by Congress,
will determine whether or not the
crop insurance program can be ex-
tended to other Maryland crops such
as corn, tobacco and vegetable crops.
Kent County this year has trial in
surance program on corn. Success of
the crop insurance program depends
ON participation by large number
of farmers.
Hazards against which farmers
can protect their investment in the
wheat crop are drought, flood, hail,
wind, frost, lightning, fire, excessive
rain, snow, wild life, hurricane, tor
nado, insect infestation, plant disease
and otker unavoidable causes of
loss. Payments to offset damage COW
er the period from seeding time un-
til the wheat is threshed or remov-
ed from the farm, but not later than
October 31st.
Crop insurance agents have visit
ed many farms to arrange for the
insurance, but farmers need not wait
for call from an agent to obtain
this all-risk protection for their
wheat crop. They can apply for in
surance at their county AAA Office
before the September 29th deadline,
or tkey can write to the same Office
for an application blank. The acre
age to be insured is filled in after
the crop has been seeded.

FARMING is A FIRST-CLASS
BUSINESS

The Feedral Government indicates
that more than million and half
veterans with farm background and
experience will be demobilized. That
is lot of farmers. The readjustment
of many of them to civilian life
means a return to their tilling the
soil. But that is only about half OF
the numbers who may join the pros
pective "back-to-the-land" mo e :
ment
The Agricultural Department is
not urging inexperienced men to en-
brace farming as sure way to re-
establish themselves. The general So
called educational trend" cautions
the military folks to get on the edges
of villages and cities and operate
part time FARMS" and work in in
dustrial plants when things are dull
in their rural residences. Most OF
the farms in the United States today
are "full-time jobs"
The American people may be de-
pended on to keep their feet on the
ground and measure the Importance
and security of farm life. 1t is poor
Judgment to question the safety OF
agriculture as an occupation. 1t
seems far more logical to recognize
the indisputable fact that general
prosperity still exists in agriculture.
The current challenge is to reduce
production costs on the farm with
less muscle and tussle, by using mod
ern machinery.

HORSES ARE STRUCK BY
"sLEEPING SICKNESS"

Immediate vaccination of horses
and mules In tile tidewater area of
Maryland may prevent spread OF en-
cephalomyelitis, the sleeping sick
ness of horses" says DR.. A. l.. Bruck-
ner, Director oil the Maryland Live
stock Sanitary Service.
Animals have been stricken with
the acute form of this disease in the
Willards section of Wicomico county
and in the vicinity of Princess Anne
in Somerset county Cases have also
been reported in Anne Arundel coun-
ty.
This disease, which caused heavy
loss of farm draft animals in Mary
land in 1898 and 1894, makes the
animals suddenly weak, dull, and un-
able to work. Tkay may have ditIicul-
ty in swallowing, though they try to
eat and drink. Most of the diseased
animals will stand or lean in one di-
rection, others may become excited
and walk through fences.
The local veterinarian can help
check spread of the disease by
prompt vaccination of animals in the
danger zones Vaccination of all
horses and mules in the spring could
have prevented outbreak OF the dis
ease, but few draft animals were vac
cinated this past spring. Ii. disease
is spread by salt water IN Jsquitoes
in this section of the country, and
may be spread by otler blood-sucking
insects. Keeping the horses and
mules in stables instead of Oh pas
ture may help prevent spread of the
malady.
