Bureaucratic Control
University,
Dr. Byrd Declares
BY the Assoeiosed Press

President H. C. Byrd of the Uni
versity of Maryland detailed yester-
day his reasons for asking the Leg
islatiye Council to investigate and
take steps to eradicate what he
termed bureaucratic control of uni
versity affairs"
He c0ntended State agencies were
usurping administrative affairs of
the ilniyersity's Board of Regents
and that the institution was thereby
suffering academically.
He said that to allow the univer-
sity to get into line with those of
other States it must be exempted
from Maryland laws which subject
it and all other State agencies to the
close supervision of the Standard
Salary Board, the State employment
commissioner and the Board Of Pub
lie Works.
DR.. Byrd's Contentious.
Specifically, the university presi-
dent made these contentious:
l. Strict salary standards set up
by the Standard Salary Board and
administered by the employment
commissioner made 1t all but impcs-
|sible for the university to get the
additional competent teachers II
needed.
2. Hiring and firing of an non
teacher personnel had been taken
out Of the hands Of university au-
thorities and placed under control
OF the State employment commits
sioner.
5. Approval of contracts. hiring OF
architects and other decisions in
volving the spending of the uni
versity appropriations are in the
hands of the Board OF Public Works.
DR.. Byrd said this was done despite
the fact the Board of Regents is
made up largely of the heads Of
large corporations who have been
schooled to spend money pfoperly.
Seeks Lump-Sum Appropriation.
4. Delays involved in getting the
approval Of the Board of Public
Works for the spending of money
already approved by the General
Assembly were costing the taxpay-
ers additional money.
5. Under Federal law, the Leeisla-
ture has no right to reappropriate
and the Board of Public Works has
no right to control money given to
the university by the Federal Gov
ernment.
s. The Federal Government spe-
cifically holds the President and
Board Of Regents responsible for
proper use of the money. Federal
grants for 1916 amounted to $685.
95285.
DR.. Byrd said he wanted q lump
sum appropriation, with university
and its Board Of Regents having full
responsibility for spending 1t.

Council Favors
Auto Inspection
For Maryland
Bill Would Provide
At Leost One Stotion
For Every County
BY ihs As.oeiotsd Press

BALTIMORE, Nov. 15.-Maryiand
motor vehicles will be inspected at
least twice year at State owned
and operated inspection stations,
under a bill approved by the Legisla.
tive Council.
The bill, submitted to the cour,.
ell by Motor Vehicles Commissioners
w. Lee Elgin, was studied by q com-
mittee headed by Senator Byrnes.
Democrat, OF Baltimore. The coun-
ell yesterday recommended the bill
for passage at the next session of
the General Assembly In January.
The measure provides for a 81 in
spection fee, to be paid along with
license tag fees.
One for Each County.
At least one inspection station
would be set up In each county and
IN Baltimore City. Funds from the
inspection fees would be used to
defray administrative expenses.
Senator Davis, Republican, Of
Caroline County, member Of the
committee who visited such stations
IN New Jersey. reported that In the
year following their establishment
trafiic fatalities dropped from l,280
to 400 and that the total had since
declined still further.
In another preliminary to tl1e
assembly's session, the Legislative
Councils Committee on Taxation
yesterday approved the Sherbow
Commissions report on redistribu.
ton Of tax revenues.
Annual Budget Sessions.
The committee withheld approval
ON only one of the exports proposals
that calling for annual sessions Of
the General Assembly to consider
the State budget on yearly basis.
The move was taken pending fur.
ther discussion of possible limita-
tions OF the proposed "even-years
sessions. Committee members, how.
ever, indicated the group probably
would indorse the annual session
proposal.
The committees action apparent-
" ruled out approval of the report
|of the Donaldson Commission on
Taxation of Racing, since the Sher-
bow group advocated similar meth.
osd but higher taxes.
The committee will report on the
Sherbow proposals to the Legisla-
tive Council, which win then recom-
ment adoption or rejection of the
proposals by the General Assembly.

Turkey Supplies

Consumers BottIe
Against High Costs 1
Turns to Sugar, Soop

Washington housewives can ex-
pect to find turkeys for Their
Thanksgiving dinners at perhaps 1(
to IS cents per pound more thar
they paid last year.
Those who have eyed mountinn
prices with alarm were assured 81
Joseph B. Danzansky, attorney fo1
the Merchants and Manufacturers
Associations wholesale food division
that the traditional bird probably
viii be available in abundant guam
titles and at prices in line with other
current food costs.
There are plenty OF turkeys on
the farms this year." Mr.. Danzan-
sky said. "But because OF the spotty
market recently, wholesalers have
not been buying them In as, great
quantities as usual"
Two Factors May Offer Dinaculty.
He said there were only two fac
tors that might, cloud an otherwise
rosy picture. There was possibil-
tty that the irregular market might
find wholesalers without enough,
birds to supply the consumers, even
though they are plentiful.
Then there was the threat OF q
packing house workers strike II
Chicago that could upset the nor
NAL fow of meats and cause q
heavier demand for poultry.
Gauged by present conditions
turkey hens probably will sell for
from go to S. cents per pound near
the holiday, MIR. Danzansky said
Last years prices averaged shout
90 cents per pound.
Sugar Prices Stressed.
Those fighting the upward trend
Of prices were more concerned about
other items One of these was Mrs.
Sarah Newman, chairman Of the
washington Committee for Com
sumner Protection.
She noted that sugar, one OF the
few items still regulated by the
Off1ce Of Price Administration, was
selling for as much as 70 cents for
Q f1ye-pound bag.
To refresh the memory Of con-
surners and enlist their support ia
stunning high prices, Mrs. Newman
listed sugar ceiling prices. In small,
independent stores, the price Is "a
cents for 5 pounds In q bag and
49 cents In carton. At the larger
stores it Is 43 cents for S pounds,
in bag or carton, and cents q
pound when weighed and bagged
by the grocer.
Emphasizes Fight on Soap Prices.
Mrs. Newman also emphasized the
need for fighting high prices for
soap, which is up so per cent or
more many places. In another ex-
ample, one housewife had COM
planned of shortening selling for
about 65 cents more than the last
oPA ceiling price.
She asked the 100000 committee
members to spurn high-priced
Christmas toys, and to keep q vigi-
liant check on meat prices.
In check on automobiles We'd

asked at used car dealers lots, The
Star inadvertently made incorrect
comparisons with OPA ceiling
prices. The cars now on sale were
compared with prices OPA allowed
owners selling to dealers and did
not include IS per cent profit

For instance, o I941 Chevrolet

sold for $979.33 under OPA regula-
tions. Actually, the dealer had been

Bill 10 Encourage
 OiIDiseoveriesis
 Signed by President

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9-Presi dent Truman has signed bill de- signed to encourage new oil discov- cries in the United States by low ering the royalty rate on petroleum taken from government lands.
 The bill sponsored by Sen. Jo- seph c. OMahoney, D. Tex, and Sen. Carl A. Hatch, D., N. M., would fix a flat royalty of 12a percent.
 It would replace a sliding scale which ranged up to 32 percent bas- cd on the rate of withdrawal from oil fields in the public domain.
 The change was opposed by Sec retary of Interior Julius A. Krug.
 OMahoney said the bill would stimulate the search for new sourc- es of petroleum and make the Am erican aviation and transportation industries independent of foreign oil sources.
