BY CONGRESSMAN

Washington, May IL, 1945
The Midland Journal
Rising Sun, Maryland
Gentlemen:
l feel that l owe my people some
explanation of the suit which has
been entered against me by the OPA
:" the District Court of Baltimore
City.
lris suit grows out of charges
made by our firm last summer for re-
ceiving, handling and obtaining ware
hose receipts for our farmers for
Government loan wheat. We made
the same charge that most other
dealers on the Shore made, which
charges were sanctioned by another
Federal Agency. The OPA claims
hat these charges were in error. Our
firm feels that tke OPA claim is un-
just and unreasonable, and we are
availing ourselves of the rights of an
American citizen to have the dispute
judicially decided in our courts.
Very sincerely yours,
Dudley G. Roe.

MARYLAND FARMERS GROWING
MORE LIVESTOCK

Leading specialists at Maryland
University agree that the agricultur-
al trend in Maryland is definitely in
the direction of increased production
of grass and livestock Furthermore,
they state, this trend is desirable
from the standpoint of economy as
we'll as that of soil conservation.
Maryland is surrounded by large
city populations affording convenient
markets for livestock products. Live
stock farming requires less labo,
than the growing of cultivated crops
and the cost of labor in Maryland is
high. Another factor favoring con
version to hay and pasture, with only
such grains as can be fed on the
farm instead of being produced fol
sale, is that feed grains can be grown
more cheaply in the so-called grain
belt chan in Maryland
According to Jos. II. Blandford,
CliairmanS Maryland AAA, the 1915
program of this organization largely
on the advice of the specialists is en-
couraging the conversion of hilly
land from titled crops to grass, by
offering farmers the necessary lime,
fertilizer, and seeds for the establish
ment of permanent pastures. Accord
ing to the Chairman, between 10000
and 10000 additional acres of per-
manent pasture will be established
under this program in 1945. He quot
ed DR.. Fred Leinbach, Chief OF the
Livestock Department of Maryland
University, as saying much of this
hilly land, unless converted to Lay
or pasture, will soon become unpro-
ductive from erosion and soil deple-
ton" Others at the University who
have expressed similar opinions are
S. H.. DeVault, Chief of Agriculture
Royle p Thomas, Chief
of Agronomy; John w. Magruder,
also of Agronomy, and VIM. B. Kemp
Director of the Experiment Station,
Blandford said.

CONTINUED NEED FOR WAR
RELIEF AGENCIES

Citing increased and continuing
needs for war-related philanthropic
causes despite the end of the Euro
pean war, a joint resolution has been
adopted by the Presidents War Re-
lief Control Board and the Board of
Directors of the National War Fund,
calling upon generous America TO
continue to support the work of the
twenty-five agencies which comprise
the War Fund, it was announced by
Stewart j. Cort, Chairman of the
National War Fund in Maryland
The resolution points out that the
end of war with Germany tends to
increase rather than diminish the
needs of USO, United Seamens Ser
vice and War Prisoners Aid, as we'll
as opening for the first time the OPP
portunity to aid many liberated na-
,slons in Europe.
Expanding it's facilities to meet
changing needs, United Seamen
Service has established a personnel
and supply pool in London prepared
to set up new clubs for seamen in the
German ports of Hamburg and Bre-
men, according ITO a report received
at North Calvert Street., Baltimore,
Headquarters for the National War
Fund in Maryland, Mr.. Cort said.
Continuing, Mr.. Cort reported that
expansion of USO Camp Show facili-
ties in Europe become necessary be-
cause the lack of action imposed by
combat duty will find members of the
occupation forces with so much time
at their disposal that continuing mil
itary service will become an irksome
routine without some diversion.
The member agencies of the Ma
tional War Fund are: USO Omitted
Service Organizations), United Sea-
mems Service, War Prisoners Aid,
American Relief for Czechoslovakia.
America Denmark Relief, American
Field Service, American Relief for
France, American Relief for Holland,
American Relief for Italy, American
Relief for Norway, Belgian War Re-

SCHOOLS RACE THE FACTORIES

Industrial development in this war
approximates the scientific progress
CT 16 normal years of peace, it is es-
timated by Rufus T; Strohm, dean of
the International Correspondence
Schools faculty. Because of this extra
ordinary achievement, schools and
colleges of all kinds have proper
tionately greater problem in their
never-ending task of keeping their
instruction in step with industrial
practice. 1t was recently announced
kat l. c. S. itself spent approximate
!y 100000 in 1914 on revision of
standard material and preparation of
now courses.
This work of the educators is not
merely matter of keeping textbooks
up to date; completely new subjects
of study have been given birth in
these amazing years. AS radar, cleo
ronics, plastics and other innova-
tions have been carried beyond the
research stage into actual preduc-
ton, rhey have leaped, accidentally
speaking, from the halls of expert
mental science into the field of voca-
tional training.
Nothing could emphasize more
pointedly the close relationship be-
tween industry and education. The
more industry becomes scientifically
advanced, ike more highly trained
must industrial workers be. And the
training they need is not merely in
the robot-like performance of certain
motions. Some new method will be
installed tomorrow and make today's
routine useless. In an industrial
world so rapidly advancing, &he
workers must of necessity be given
sufficient basic scientific knowledge
to understand the developments that
will come next month or next year
and to carry on their jobs as changed
by those developments.
For many years industry has been
learning from the educators, adapt
ing in practice the knowledge gained
in academic research. Now we are
seeing increased stress on the re-
verse process. The schools must
learn from industry the constant i'm
provements in production methods
in order to train their students for
industrial jobs.

WAR VETERANS WARMED
AGAINST HASTY PURCHASE OF
DWELLINGS

With the current high prices of
property, war veterans may serious
ly cucumber themselves with bad in
vestments unless they consult COM
petent advisors before borrowing
money from the government under
the CT Bill of Rights, in the opinion
of Miles l.. Colean, former Assistant
Federal Housing Administrator.
Caution against undue haste in
taking advantage of federal loans for
veterans is urged by Mr. Colean in
an article in the May issue of House
Beautiful magazine in which he ex-
plains in non-technical language just
what home loan benefits our veterans
are entitled to.
Mr.. Colean points out that veter-
ans who want loans under tile CT
Bill of Rights do not even have to
deal with the government direct,
but may transact their business
through their local mortgage COM
panies.
In warning against hasty and per-
haps ill-considered investments made
with such loans from the govern
ment, he says in part
In many parts of the country,
now is dubious time for either buy
ing or building. The selection is linn
tied and the prices are ligh. A liberal
loan and low interest rate won't
take the curse off an inflated price.
There is every reason therefore to
be cautious in investing in home. -
Although the CT Bill of Rights
stipulates that applications for such
loans must be made within two years
after an honorable discharge or two
years after the termination OF the
war;" whichever is a longer period,
Mr.. Colean points out tLat this pro-
vision should be no cause for undue
haste in applying for loan.
Fear of missing the advantage
provided by the law should not be
made an excuse for haste" he states.
Terminating war, even after hos
tilities cease, is apt to be lengthy
business. 1t may be recalled that
while hostilities ceased in 1918. the
last war was not terminated until
1921"

NATIONAL FARM SAFETY WEEK

The second annual National Farm
Safety Week will be observed this
year from July % to July %, the u.
S. Department of Agriculture an
nounced. Its purpose is to focus at
tention on the need for carrying on
accident and fire prevention activi-
ties in rural communities. In 1913,
the Department of Agriculture said,
farm accidents killed 1920 persons
and injured 100000. OF those in
jured, approximately $4,000 were
crippled for life. The monetary loss
from these accidents amounted to
about one billion dollars. Farm fires
last year cost the lives of $500 farm
people. More than $90,000,000 in
property was destroyed. The majori-
ty of farm accidents and fires can be
prevented, said the Department of
Agriculture, by a simple three-point
safety program: (1) Learn to recog-
nize the accidents and fire hazards on
your farm and in your farm home !;
CD Correct or remove all hazards
thi,. you can; CD Learn to live and
work safely with those hazards that
cannot be Immediately corrected or
removed.

Farmers Plan Greater
Buys In War Bonds

In spite of an ''off' season so far
as income is concerned, farm War
Bond leaders are now making prepa-
rations for selling more bonds to
farmers during the Seventh War
Loan than in any previous Drive,
according to M. L. Predmore, Chief
of the Agricultural Section, War
Finance Division, Treasury Depart
ment. With the help of country bank
ers they're out to convince the men
who till the soil that they should
convert their expanded bank &C
counts into bonds.
Farmers, like all Americans,
have been building up bank deposits
and currency holdings ever since the
war started" Predmore said. Son
January l., 1920, agriculture held cur
rency and bank deposits totaling
slightly over 4 billion dollars. The
l945 figure is not available, but it is
expected to be in excess Of 10 bill
lion."
With larger operations and in
creased costs farmers must have
more operating capital than in 1910,
but they don't need 10 billion, in
Predmore's opinion. He believes
farmers can and will put a substan-
tial portion of these cash reserves
into War Bonds.
When they 60 out to sell War
Bonds to farmers in the Seventh,
War Finance Committees through
out the nation will stress personal
solicitation. A survey made follow
ing the Sixth War Loan showed that
81 percent of the farmers who were
personally solicited bought bonds.

GOVERNOR SIGNS 1876 NEW
IAWs-TOTAL FOR SESSION 11tt


LAWS-TOTAL FOR SESSION ITO
With the signing of 1876 Acts pass
ed by the recent session of the Cen
eral Assembly, Governor Herbert r..
O'Conor raised to total of lilo the
number of new laws enacted through
his signature.
Provisions for Public Library Ser
vice throughout the state; authorize
ton for the State to create debt of
S2,OOO,0OO for a State Office Build
ing in Baltimore; provision for over
time pay for state employees; and
bills providing for payment of two
per cent tax on racing receipts and
requiring a reduction of one half of
ere percent of the mutuel pool of
racing were among the new legisla-
tion enacted through Cover o +
O'Conor's signature at this final bill
signing
Every major phase of the States
activities is affected by one or more
of the new laws upon which Cover
nor O'Conor has placed his approval
and signature. In the field of educa-
ton a series of twelve new Acts pro-
vide for broad-guaged program Of
improvement to the public school
system of the State, including twelve
years of free public education, small
er classes, increased pay for teachers,
extension of vocational and, indus
f,.io ,,odio m
picture aids, adult courses, etc.
Most important of the new legis-
lation affecting health of Maryland
citizens were the Medical Care Act,
providing free medical hospital and
dental care for counGy residents who
are financially unable to bear the
cost of same, and the Medical Pay
fnent Insurance measure.
Veterans legislation placed on the
books constitutes a special section OF
the Code and guaranteed fullest op-
portunity for all the benefits guaran-
teed under the CT Bill of Rights.
Complete revision of the States
election laws brings this important
section of the Code up to date, pro-
viding among other things for con-
tinuation of the absentee voting pro-
visions and advancing the 1945 Pri-
mary Election to June "a so that
members of the Armed Forces can
vote in the Primary as well as tie
General Election, and allowing SER
vicemen and women to vote by mail
in the Municipal Election in Balti-
more City.
Other new laws on the books
through the Governors action in
clude: A financial responsibility act
for motor vehicle operators. Exten-
sion of the Juvenile Court System
throughout the State. Allowance of
one-third deduction in income tax
payments. A black bass bill, strongly

PRICE CONTROL TO CONTINUE

with vistory in Europe, the OPA
in the months to come has bigger
Job than ever before" Leo H. Nc
Cormick, Maryland State Director of
the OPA said This will continue to
be true until supplies of most COM
modities can be produced in quanti-
ties somewhere near current demand.
"Our Army and Navy still have a
major war to fight in the Pacific. The
service forces will still need to pur-
chase huge quantities of supplies un-
til final victory is won.
$50 we know that income will re-
main very high, and demand for CT
william goods will also outstrip sup
plies of most commodities. This will
mean the necessary continuance OF
price controls until the threat of in
fiation is gone. Insofar as we are able
to determine now, it will mean the
continuation of major rationing pro
grams, certainly through 1945 at the
very least . and on many items
until final victory in the Pacific.
"In the months immediate y
ahead, OPA will have heavier load
of work than at any time in the war
period. In addition to the continue
ton of present programs to hold
prices in line, we must promptly es-
tablish prices on reconversion goods,
like automobiles, radios, electric
fans, refrigerators, etc. These are the
things which have been out of pro-
duction during the war period.
Adjustment provisions for many
different regulations in other fields
have been planned and must be i'm
mediately put into effect. In the next
six months, there will probably be
changes made in rationing programs
which will further add to the work
of each of the local Price and Ration
ing Boards, and our Office here in
Baltimore.
"Then later on, as supplies of diff
ferent commodities come up near de-
mand, we must remove controls in an
orderly manner and as quickly as
possible, without running the risk of
a serious rise in prices.
"The OPA programs of price con-
troll, rent control and rationing can
only succeed in the difficult months
ahead, if we receive the continued
support of the many volunteers in
Baltimore and the state, who have
given so much of their time to help
their Government in this wartime
program.
eve can only succeed further, if
we have the support of the trade and
the public in now completing the
work which OPA has set up ITO ac-
complish. Only this way can the cost
of living be held in check for the
benefit of all Americans. Only thus
can we prevent sharp increases in
prices"
