Maryland Tobacco .
Ceiling Raised L.;
Some Sales Begin

Some Southern Maryland tobacco
warehouses began selling the bump
er 1914 crop today following an
nouncement of 2-cent ceiling
price increase by the Office of Price
Administration yesterday.
Markets at La Plata, Hughesville
and Waldorf began operations
today, and the Baltimore and Upper
Marlboro markets were ready to
start tomorrow.
The OPA said the increase-from
SIS cents to 81 cents-is based on a
directive issued by the Office of Eco
nomic Sterilization, and will apply
to all Maryland tobacco, whether
the grower sells in hogsheads or on
the loose-leaf market.
The OES issued the directive after
further examination of evidence sub.
mltted by growers and warehouse
men disclosed that "the 2-cent in
crease is necessary for growers to
obtain weighted average price Of
about 48 cents a pound"
Representative Sasscer, who with
Senators Tydings and Radcliffe,
Democrats, of Maryland led group
OF growers and warehousemen in a
ceiling price appeal to Sterilization
Director William H. Davis, expressed
qualification that "Mr. Davis has
given us some relief"
I'm view of our increasing costs
and past averages" Mr.. Sasscer
said, Il do not think 81 cents is
enough, but 81 cents is better than
the SIS cents proposed last week"
On the basis of a 10000, 900 pound
crop, officials estimated the increase
would add about 100000 to tobacco
growers income. ,,.
George Sachse, general manager
of the Maryland Tobacco Growers
Association in Baltimore, said Mary
land tobaccomen are still dissatis-
fed with the Accent average orig
inally set by the OPA and retained
in the revised order and will survey
the situation and see if any further
steps can be taken to raise the aver
age set as this years goal by the
OPA."
Warehouses throughout the State,
originally scheduled to begin sales
April II, remained closed pending
the ceiling price appeal. This is the
second year sales have been delayed
pending price adjustment.

Koop 10 Head Press
Censorship Office

Theodore F. Koop today was ap-
pointed assistant director of censor
ship in charge of the press division,
effective May /. He succeeds Jack
H. Lockhart, who is returning to ac-
tive newspaper work.
In announcing the change, Gen.
! sorship Director Byron Price said:
II am very sorry to see Jack Lock-
hart leave the Government service
but he has been in censorship far
beyond the period he originally
agreed to serve. His retirement is
in accordance with promise made
him several months ago.
HE has rendered distinguished
service to voluntary censorship and
both the newspapers and the Ma
ton owe him debt of deep graft
tude. I believe his wise administra-
ton of the press code, in addition to
its great contribution to national
security, has helped nightly in pre-
serving the freedom of the press
Mr.. Lockhart, who was managing
editor of the Memphis Commercial
Appeal when he joined censorship
more than three years ago, will be
directly associated with John H
Sorrels, executive editor of the
Scripps- s-Howard Newspapers, with
headquarters in New York.
Mr.. Koop served with the Asso-
ciated Press in various parts of the
country and with the National Geo
graphic Magazine. He joined cen
sorship three weeks after Pearl
Harbor and had served since then
as special assistant to the director
in charge of administration, liaison,
and other activities. He was in uni
form until recently as a Naval Re-
serve officer.

Part OF the hospital foundations
already are being laid on concrete
piles at 5000 Reservoir road NV,
where builders have been at work
since midwinter. In addition to pro-
viding 165 more beds than the ca
pacity of the present Georgetown
Hospital, the new building and its
modern equipment also will broaden
the scope" of the medical school.
The $750,000 goal of the campaign,
1t was announced, is to raise the
amount necessary to supplement
and help guarantee the FWA grant
Of 81 800 900 provided last fall under
the Lanham Act for construction.
Georgetown University gave the site
on the campus of its medical
dental schools. Under terms Of the
grant, however, the university is
to provide part of the equipment
to be installed and $780, 900 toward
the overall construction cost.

KIutznick Hits
Distortion Of
Housing Policy
. FPHA Commissioner
Says Home Builders
Misinterpret Aims

Commissioner Philip M. Klutznicl
OF the Federal Public Housing Au-
thority today charged a spokesman
for the Home Builders Association
OF Metropolitan Washington with 8
confused and distorted interpreta-
ton" OF the agency's policy of avoid
ing competition by restricting SUBJ
sidized public housing to an income
level 20 per cent below that which
private housing can serve.
The officials criticism was con-
tanned in letter to Clarke Daniel,
chairman of the associations Public
Housing Committee, who last Sat-
urday assailed Mr.. KlutZnick for his
recent attack on the so-called Wash
ington plan to give private builders
first opportunity to engage in slum
clearance work here.
Mr.. Klutznick denied he had cate
gorically condemned the Washing
ton plan and asserted he only had
cited specific weaknesses. He point
ed out that he had taken issue with
a recent report of the National In
dustrial Conference Board on local
housing because it did not confine
itself to testimony made before a
Senate committee last year on
Washington housing problems.
by its own statements, it went
outside of the record for its data,
drew its own conclusions and rec
commended these for study through
out the country" Mr.. Klutznick de-
clared.
Referring to Mr.. Daniels inter-
probation of FPHA policy on low
income construction, the housing
official stated: only tortured logic
can lead to the notion that this
means 'underselling' private enter
prise. How can public housing
undersell private enterprise in al
market of families who are unable
to buy what private enterprise has
10 sell?
Mr.. Klutznick further denied that
he had shown continued insistence"
on 'interjecting" his opinion into
District affairs. He said that no
representative of the agency had
testified for or against proposals |
made at the Senate subcommittee
hearings.
ut is deplorable that a discussion
Of subject as vital as the problem
of removal of slums in the Nations
Capital or, for that matter, of the
Nation cannot be conducted on a
plane which tolerates the expression
of all opinion and which represents
opinion as opinion and fact as fact"
he added.
