Gir|;;6, Dies
Of Meningitis Only
7 Days After Attack

Barbara Jean Moltz, 6-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Michael
Moltz, 4501 Decatur street, Hyatts-
vile, died Saturday at Children's
Hospital of meningitis.
She had come home from the
Edmonston Elementary School

home until Friday, he said, when
it became evident that she had men
ingitis.
Doctors at the hospital said mod
ern sulfa drugs save around So per
cent" of meningitis cases, but that
in the child's case the infection
spread too rapidly.
DR.. Malin said it would be useless
to quarantine the child's home
where II brothers and sisters live
with her parents, who are expecting
another child-as meningitis is not
regarded as "a highly contagious
disease"
He said he is giving large guam
titles of sulfadiazene to the family
in hope that it will make them
immune.
The Edmonston school was open
today and Prince Georges officials
were awaiting a report from DR..
John Byers, county health officer.
DR.. Byers said there was no rea-
son to quarantine either the school
or the home.
1t is the fifth case of meningitis
in the county this year, he added,
and the first fatality.
The child was to be buried this
afternoon in Fort Lincoln Gene

Easier Terms
On GI Bill Farm
Loans Asked
Bunkheud-Jones Act
Meets Needs Better,
Patton Declares

The National Farmers Union,
criticizing the farm credit provisions
of the CT Bill of Rights, last night
recommended program intended
to give adequate credit facilities"
to World War II veterans who want
to purchase and equip farms.
James G. Patton, union president,
said in a statement that the cost
of equipping and operating a family
farm may range from $1,000 to
$4,000, while the amount of farm
loans insured under the CT bill is
limited to $4,000.
Pointing out that the GI bill
also makes qualified veterans elig-
ible for loans under the Bankhead-
Jones Farm Tenant Act, Mr.. Pat
ton said the latter act "best meets
the needs of veteran farm pur-
chasers."
The union recommended that
funds for the purchase of farms by
veterans should be provided under
the Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant
Act at the terms that loans are now
available to tenants-a per cent
interest rate, a 40-year repayment
period and variable repayment
plan.
The size of the loan, the union
proposed, should be limited to the
average value of efficient family
farms, as determined by the Secre-
tary of Agriculture, in the locality
In which the farm is located.
The union program also would
provide for loans for the purchase
OF livestock and equipment at a
maximum interest rate of per cent
and arrangements for reappraisal
and possible compromising of the
loan in case foreclosure threatens
within 10 years after the initial loan,

Karenko was beginning to be a
place that prompted man to look
to the job of summing up, of trying

these feelings found expression in

received by men whose courage was
not known to the outside world, and
in the making of wills. In my own

pounds under normal and no weight

Early in October the Japs, who
at the start of the war had promised
to live up to the spirit and letter of
the Geneva Convention, came to our
officers in their willy way and told
us We could volunteer" to work.
The Geneva Convention specifies
that no officer who is a prisoner of
war shall be required to perform
labor. Nor is any noncommissioned
officer, except in a supervisory ca
pacity.
So we refused. The Japs immedi-
ately cut down on our food. Our
rice, barely enough to keep us going,
was cut and the soup became more
watery, If possible.

Maryland Assembly
Meets Today 10 Act
On Baltimore Taxes
By the Associated Press.

pt Tue AsSOClhttu EEcSe-
ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 5.-The
Maryland General Assembly will
convene in special session today
to consider legislation which would
give Baltimore, under certain re-
strictions, power to enact additional
revenue-producing measures.
Gov. O'Conor has predicted that
the session would adjourn within
"a hours. He said that the body
might remain in continuous session
until the business before it was
finished.
-Four bills have been prepared and
printed. In addition to the one CIV
ing Baltimore general taxing pow
ers, two would amend the laws of
Allegany County in reference to
salaries of Cumberland City off,
cials and employees, and the, fourth
would change the State unemploy,
ment compensation laws
The two Cumberland bills were
sent to the printer after agreement
between Senator Kimble,: Repub-
lican, of Allegany, and officials OF
the city, on minor changes. As
the bill now stands, salary increases
would apply until the convening OF
the 1947 Legislature.
Gov. O'Conor said that, to ex-
pedite matters, he would not ad-
dress the session when it convenes
in the forenoon, but might send
a message by letter.
He said that bills other than
the four prepared probably would
not be considered unless they were
printed beforehand.
State Senate President Lindsay
Democrat. of Baltimore County
Senator Funk, Democrat, of Freder-
ick, majority floor leader, and Dele
gate Luber, Democrat, of Baltimore
majority floor leader in his House
agreed with the Governor that the
session would last only a day.
Senator Lindsay said the Demo
cratic majority probably would bind
itself to legislative agenda con-
tanning only the four bills,
The session is slated to convene
at II am. The Democratic party
caucus to organize and appoint
committees is set for 10:30 am.
This is the second extraordinary
session. of the Legislature in as
many years and the fourth session
since members of the body were
elected in 1912.
Under the Maryland constitution
Governor has the power to call
special sessions but he may not set
a limit under the 30-day maximum
time allowed for such a session by
law.
