0'Conor Surplus
May Be Deficit,
kirknlanSa Says
Budget Director
Points to Expenses
Ahead Of Schedule
By the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Nov. 20. Estimates
by State Budget Director Walter N.
Kirkman indicated today $l6,-
869,850 surplus predicted by Gov.
O'Conor for the end Of the current
fiscal year might become a deficit
in the two years for which the next
General Assembly will make appro-
priations.
Gov. O'Conor, in releasing a re-
port of the State controllers Office
yesterday, said the surplus will be
several times as much as the re-
quirements of the various State de-
partments and institutions to make
up for deficiencies in salary and
other accounts resulting from
emergency provisions made during
the current year."
Expenditures Estimated.
"In fact" the Governor added,
"even after meeting needs of the
Welfare Department and. other
agencies, the incoming administra-
tion will have a sizable surplus to
use for future State purposes.
Mr.. Kirkman, however, estimated
that expenditures during the fiscal
year, which ends June 80, would be
about $500, 900 above amounts ac-
tually appropriated.
Salaries OF State employees have
been increased, he pointed out, and
other departments-notably the well
fare department-also are ahead of
spending schedules. Convocation OF
"a special session Of the Legislature
has been urged to appropriate funds
to cover salary deficiencies. since
the new General Assembly is for
hidden by the Constitution to con-
slider any fiscal matter before the
budget for the next biennium.
$1,000, 900 Working Fund.
In addition to the $500, 900 de-
ficiency appropriation anticipated,
the State also is required to main
tain a 100000 working fund.
The budget director estimated
budget requests by the various de-
partments would run about so per
cent higher for the next two years.
Even after pairing, he indicated, the
budget will come to some $50 ,000, 900
for the next biennium.
Revenues, on the other hand, will
total only $87,774,170, Mr.. Kirkman
estimated.

Farlllers Differ
On Plea toDrop
Poultry Parity
Producers Society
Coils on u. S. to End
Price Guarantees

Farm organizations were at odds
today on proposal that the Gov
ernment price support guarantee for
poultry and eggs be dropped.
The Agriculture Department as
well as several members of con-
gressional committees on agricul-
ture have received petition from
the Associated Poultry and Egg In
dustries, including associations in
Maryland and Virginia, asking that
the two-year guarantee Of 80 per
cent of parity be ended on those
products.
Eggs Now Above Parity.
The petition, according to organi-
zation spokesmen, holds that the
program is unnecessary because
eggs, for example, have been selling
at considerably above parity. 1t
contends also that two-year pro-
gram of that kind would cause pro-
duction of eggs and poultry far
above market needs.
The Agriculture Department had
no official comment today. Its
Bureau of Agricultural Economics is
scheduled to make a periodic report
within a few days showing whether
poultry and egg prices are nearer
to parity than they were in October,
when the average price was more
than 100 per cent of parity.
Meanwhile, the bureaus monthly
livestock report predicted that the
beef and veal supply next spring
and summer might be the greatest
since 1909. The report stated that
hog and cattle prices were expected
to decline moderately during the
winter, and that sheep and lamb
marketings would be smaller this
winter than last. 1t noted that
sheep numbers were the lowest in
20 years. Production of pigs next
spring viii be the largest since
1943, the report stated.
Opposition Reported Aroused.
The petition on the parity pro-
gram was reported today to have
aroused some opposition within the
Associated Poultry and Egg Indus
tries. It also was attacked by the
American Farm Bureau Federation.
That organization believes the par
ity program should be maintained
for two years as reconversion meas
ure and as safeguard principally
for producers. Removal of the parity
provision might help dealers and
distributors but would work to the
disadvantage of poultry raisers and
farmers in general, spokesman
commended.
The Farm Bureau Federation, he
Explained. is opposed to repeal or
essential change Of governmental
programs for support of prices on
any kind Of farm products. It there
fore opposes the Associated Poultry
and Egg Industries petition even Il
the proposal calls only for removal
OF price support for poultry and
eggs he said
