Prince Georges
Indifference 10
N. j. Criticized
University Courses
On Heritage of U. S.
Opposed, Byrd Says

Prince Georges County has shown
an amazing" lack of interest in
the University of Maryland despite
its location in the county, DR.. H. C.
Byrd, university president, charged
last night before the Prince Georges
Chamber of Commerce.
He added that opposition to plans
made by the university had on one
occasion originated in a county
delegation to the Maryland legisla-
ture.
Education Called Vital.
A vital need of the people of this
Nation is education in the American
way of life that they may be bet
ter equipped to represent the coun-
try In world affairs, DR.. Byrd con-
tinued
Several things the American peo-
pie have fallen for" in the past few
years have emphasized the need for
such education, DR.. Byrd said. He
was the speaker at the chambers
University of Maryland Night pro-
grom at the Prince Georges Golf and
Country Club.
DR.. Byrd said this Nation must
provide thinking leadership
without delay, and as the univers-
ity's contribution to this it was un-
dertaking foreign service courses.
Needed Courses Blocked.
He said there had been serious
objection to installation of Ameri-
can civilization courses at the uni
versity designed to teach the his
tory, literature and other back
ground material of the Nation, but
he said the institution would con-
tinue to fight "courageously" to see
that its students are grounded in
the American way as thoroughly as
possible.
DR.. Byrd also told of the Business
Research Bureau and the Institute
OF Government being organized at
the university. The former will seek
to aid small business and raise the
economic level of various State
areas, and the latter will suggest to
Government officials methods of in
creasing the efficiency of Govern
ment.

Feed Order Increases Worries
Of DeImorvo Poultry Roisers

OF tne year. Cne market is now
glutted and prices have fallen to
levels estimated to produce a ST.
100000 loss for the industry be-
tween now and April.
For Washington consumers, there
is shortage of freshly killed poul-
try coming up, probably in early
summer. The long range signifi-
canoe of the feed shortage, however,
has all the experts guessing. Cen
orally, there is a feeling of pessi-
mism. with the possibility of both
poultry and red meat shortage
next fall and even into 1947 unless
this years crops are above average.
Hail Protest Shipment.
Men in the business in this area
can sympathize with the Richmond
1nd) hatchery operator who sent
President Truman and Secretary of
Agriculture Anderson 1000 baby
chicks each as a protest over re-
quests for curtailed poultry opera
tions. I'VE could send them hun
dreds of thousands of chicks" one
operator commented.
R. c. Durgin of Newmarket, N. H.,
the largest supplier of Matching eggs
in the East and visitor here, said
that so per cent of Eastern hens
producing eggs for Matching pur-
poses have been sold for meat in
the last six weeks. The rate of kill
ing has increased in the past two
weeks, he said, because of the feed
shortage
AS result, should demands for
chicks pick up later this year, they
won't be available until next year,
Mr.. Durgin said.
If such thing could be possible,
the feed shortage in New England
was said to be more severe than on
the peninsula, according to Mr..
Durgin.
Harry H. Reick, president of the
Northeast Poultry Producers Coun-
Gil, believes that one answer to this
areas poultry problem is to set up
staff to watch production trends
both regionally and nationally and
to advise growers in time to prevent
gluts or underproduction.
Poultrymen might raise from
$1,000 to $4,000 through paying one
dollar per 1000 capacity of their
chicken houses, he said, and thus
paw for the service.

Cities
Barring Relief
ToEmp|oyab|es
Some Also Trimming
Expenditures Due
To Fund Shortage
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Feb. 26.-While
Baltimore lacks about 5000, 900 tc
meet welfare requirements for this
year, other Maryland communities
have closed relief rolls to employ
ables and, in some cases, are trim
ming expenditures for present cases
to meet serious financial situa-
ton, a survey disclosed today.
The State Department of Public
Welfare recently estimated a $685.
600 deficit for its current budget II
new funds were not made available
Informed of the situation, Gov
O'Conor called a meeting of the
Board of Public Works, at which ii
was decided to turn over to the de-
partment some $295 200 from the
Governors emergency fund, which
matched with Federal and local
funds, was considered adequate to
meet the emergency If welfare re-
trenchments were made.
Ordered to Cut Expenditures.
Director ]. Milton Patterson then
ordered local boards to take any
measures necessary to keep their ex-
penditures at or below the Decem-
ber figures.
But the increasing rise in Balti-
more's caSeload caused Welfare Di-
rector Thomas J. S. Waxter to pre-
dict that, at the end of this year
the city would be forced to care for
about rs per cent more indigents
than it did last year.
With this increase, he reported
the total number of cases receiving
aid of some form or another would
amount to about 1000, about the
same number as received aid at the
end of 1912
Mr.. Waxter's report estimated
that about $414 900 in city funds was
required to match State and Fed
eral money in order to balance the
city's welfare budget.
No Funds for Employables.
DR.. J. c. Wood of Salisbury, chair
man of the Wicomico County We'll
fare Board, said today: mo funds
are available in Wicomico County
for employables. Our board does
not feel that a man who is employ
able is entitled to relief.
In Hagerstown, Miss Catherine
Shipley, executive secretary of the
Washington County Board, said
We have not been taking applica-
tions from employables for some
time, and the intake has been
closed She said the effect of Mr.
Patterson's order had not yet been
noted in her county.
In Frederick, individual welfare al.
lotments have been cut by local
boards, and no new cases will be ac-
cepted until the cancellation OF
present cases brings expenditures
within the limits of available funds
George H. Finck, executive secretary
of the local board. reported.
Calls for Aid Increasing.
Calls foz assistance have been in
creasing there as elsewhere since
the end Of the war, he said, and the
impact is now felt more heavily.
The Allegany County Welfare
Board was reported trimming al
expenses. Mrs. Eleanor Westfield
director of the program, said medi-
cal assistance would be discontinued
to about 333 families out of an origi-
nal total since last November OF
about 1000. But the Cumberland
director said she did not believe the
step would prove a hardship because
such persons still receive medical
care from the city's health depart
ment.
The movement was taken in an
effort to iron out" a s2,600 deficit
for the six months period from
January to June 80, she said.
