Ban on Reading Room
BY the Associoied Press

Diplomatic officials were appre-
hensive today that forced closing
of an American library in Belgrade
might jeopardize the whole flow of
United States information into
Soviet-dominated Eastern Europe.
The State Department drafted a
note to the Yugoslav government
urging removal of the ban on the
United States Information Service.
on the ground that the "funda-
mental and basic democratic issue"
of freedom is involved.
But reports from Belgrade said
the Tito administration was intent
on keeping the information service
closed. officials here saw a posi-
bility that other Soviet-dominated
regimes may follow suit.
The United States maintains in
formation services in Russia and
80 other countries to distribute such
matter as American books. maga-
zines, official speeches and docu-
mentS.
/ Undersecretary of State CLAYTON
yesterday said American officials
find it very difficult to believe that
YugoslaVia really means to deny
to its people the basic freedom for
which the American people with
their Allies undertook the war
against FaScism.'
The reading room in downtown
Belgrade was closed Thursday after
the Yugoslav government had ac-
cused the United States Information
Service of engaging in "anti-Yugo-
Slay activities"

Rail Executive Warns
Delay in Rate Increase
May Hit u. ). Economy
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

J. Carter Fort, vice president and
general counsel of the Association
of American Railroads. told the
Interstate Commerce Commission
today that postponement of freight
rate increases might prove expen-
sive to the national economy.
II the proposed increases, rang
ing up to Is per cent, are denied
now when rail traffic is brisk. Mr.
Fort said, far larger increases in
rates will have to be made in the
near future when the country's
economy is less able to stand them" 4"
Mr.. Forts rebuttal argument con-
cluded the commissions two-week
session at which scores of witnesses
testified and attorneys argued for
and against the rate advances.
Many of the opponents to the 25
per cent increase were not averse
to smaller advance. Water car
riers and truckers, traditional rivals
of the railways, supported the rail-
road proposal in the hope of in
creased revenues for themselves.
Generally in opposition were ship
pers, growers and Government
agencies such as the OPA, IVA and
the Agriculture Department.
Mr.. Fort said he particularly
wanted to counter any impression
that Is per cent increase in freight
rates would mean a similar increase
in the cost of railtransported COM
moditieS.
Actually. he said, the increase
would be only about l per cent on
wholesale values and still smaller
on retail values.

Maryland Farmers
Arrange Artificial
Breeding Program

Organization Of Montgomery
County branch of the Maryland
Artificial Breeding Cooperative,
Inc, Is underway, according to
County Agent o. w. Anderson.
Purpose of the program, which
involves the artificial dissemination
OF cows, is to promote better herds
by breeding from outstanding bulls.
James D. King, president of the
County Farm Bureau, and John
Stiles have been appointed direc-
tors and Grover Walker has been
named member of the State COM
mittee to select the bulls.
The bulls will be leased from
prominent breeders and will be
kept at the University of Mary
land. Mr.. Anderson said it is ex-
pected to have IA bulls by April /.
Expenses will be betrayed by IS
charge to each farmer who has a
cow disseminated artifcially. Mr..
Anderson said he hoped to sign up
100 this year and to breed approxi-
mately $500 COWS. He expects to
double the number of COWS next
year.
Declaring that artificial insemi-
nation results in better milk pro-
duction, Mr.. Anderson said that in
one case, the IA daughters" of one
bull average 1880 pounds of milk
in 3o5 days. This compares, he said,
with average milk production of
1850 pounds of milk in the same
period for Maryland COWS.

gang bar" to which part of the
cultlvators are attached These
parts also were reordered when the
cultivators arrived but have not
been received.
Farm Bureau officials feel that
the inability to obtain new machin-
cry or parts for repairing old equip
ment Is a direct result of strikes
in farm machinery and allied in
dustries. They further assert that
these work Interruptions at this
time are jeopardizing the Nations
food production program this year
A survey last week of available
machinery disclosed the Maryland
Tobacco Growers Association, a CO.
operative supplying a large part of
the machinery purchased in South
ern Maryland, had four new farm
implements in stock at its Waldorf
warehouse These machines cannot
be sold because one or more parts
were lacking when they were re-
ceived.
Never before, Charles farmers
agree, have the two essentials of
agriculture-tools and men-been
so scarce. An adequate labor supply
without machines, or machines and
little labor, would aid in increasing
food production. But with neither
machines nor manpower it is likely
that farm production will drop.
1t is this problem that the Farm
Bureau is now considering and,
since little can be done at the farm
level to bring about an increase
in the production of machines and
machine parts, leaders feel that
strong stand must be taken to pre-
vent the loss of the present labor
supply.
In Charles County alone, since
the prisoner war camp was set
up September 90 1914, approx
mately 200 working prisoners have
provided farmers with 25,434 man
days of farm work. For this work
farmers have paid in wages a total
of $58,8l4.24, or fraction more
than $23l a day.
While prisoner-o -of-war labor has
not been the answer to all of the
farmers manpoWer problems, South
ern Maryland growers agree that.
while it would have been preferable
to have paid higher wages for more
skilled labor, the prisoner of war
has enabled him to stay in produc-
ton.

Report Points to
Restoration Period

A program to be followed by the
Maryland State Extension Service
this year, designed to create greater
efficiency in farm production, i'm
prove the health of rural people and
bring about restoration and i'm
provement of dilapidated property,
was submitted last week to DR.. T. B.
Symons, State extension director, by
a special committee headed by Dr..
Fred Leinbach, chief of the depart
ment of animal husbandry at the
University of Maryland.
The report represents the first
time a plan has been outlined cor
relating the work of all departments
at the university in an overall pro-
gram of agricultural Improvement.
The farm and home plant is in
need of restoration, improvement
and rebuilding" the report states
Natural resources of all kinds are
in an impaired condition and in
need of conservation and replen-
iShing.
Wartime forcefully demonstrated
the need for higher levels of nutri-
ton and all other factors contribut-
ing to an improvement in health
Social spiritual and moral values
and relationships declined generally
in all walks of life The farm
family faces the challenge of lead
ership in remolding the ideals and
the moral fiber of the Nation and
in preserving the American way of
life"
In assisting Maryland farmers to
reconvert agriculture to a peace
time basis, for example, the depart
ments of agricultural economics, ag-
ricultural engineering, agronomy,
animal and dairy husbandry, ento-
mology, plant pathology, poultry
huSbandry, horticulture, forestry,
home demonstration and boys and
girls Al Club services will CO.
operate in providing information
and help to the farmers.
Likewise, the various departments
will Cooperate in planning food
production in line with market con-
ditions and labor supply, stimulat-
ing greater efficiency on the farm,
aiding the returning veteran, slim
ulating the rehabilitation and i'm
provement of the farm plant.
In stimulating greater efficiency
on the farm, the report calls for
studies by agricultural economists
Of practices that will save time and
labor.

however, May WILL begin the period
OF greatest farm activity and it is
the consensus among planters that
agricultural production cannot ap-
proach normal unless an adequate
supply of labor is found.
The Charles County Farm Bureau
which has spearheaded almost every
movement in the county to improve
farm life since its formation Is years
ago, recently began a study of the
farm labor picture and is expected
to request that war prisoner labor
be retained at least until this years
crops are harvested.
Walter w. Bowling. president of
the county farm bureau, in present.
ing the stand of bureau members on
the labor question, pointed out it
may be of doubtful wisdom to re-
patriate prisoners at this time. since
to do so would add to the farm pro-
duction problem in this country and
would increase the burden of pro-
viding food for Europe.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Bowling

In addition to shortage of essen

also find it impossible to purchase

According to Ralph Gardiner, as

Staying Before Court
BY the Assoeioied Press

SNOW HILL, Md, Oct. 25.-The
trial of Mrs. Iva P. Krumholz, 43
charged with the murder of Vine
land IN. j. poultry dealer, neared
its close today after the defendant
reiterated her innocence on the wit
ness stand.
During more than four hours
testimony, the thrice-married Prin-
cess Anne tavern keeper said she had
found Rollin Roscoe Riley, 38, shot
to death in his Princess Anne apart
ment "a hours before police did.
She said she found gun in the
apartment and picked it up" TAX
ing it with her.
Mrs. Krumholz testified she had
borrowed revolver from the Prin-
cess Anne chief of police and had
in turn, loaned it to Mr.. Riley. She
said she thought" the gun found
in the apartment was the same one,
but added that she could not swear
to it."
The defendant, who earlier testi-
fed that her relations with Mr..
Riley caused an estrangement be-
tween herself and her husband, said
she had borrowed the gun for pro-
lection after some strange men had
followed her home when she closed
her tavern.
She explained that Riley used
to drive his car to New Jersey to
get his black market money every
Friday, or every other Friday, and
so I gave the gun to Mr.. Riley to
carry with. him." Mrs. Krumholz
denied ever threatening to kill Mr..
Riley, as was testified by the latter's
widow Tuesday.

Navy Discharges Dove
AS Sequel 10 Trial

Calvin E. Dove, 81, convicted Of
assault and battery leading to the
death of William F. Williamson, was
back in civilian clothes today after
a two weeks enlistment in the Navy.
The Potomac River Naval Com
mand said Dove was released yes
terday, a few hours after the Navy
Department announced he would
be given an undesirable discharge"
because of conviction in a civil
court.
Dove was fined $500 by Judge
Paul Brown of Fairfax Circuit Court
last Saturday after he pleaded guilty
to the assault and battery charge.
Judge Brown, who twice before con-
tinued the case following defense
requests for an opportunity for
Dove to enlist in the Navy, sus-
pended a one-year jail sentence
pending good behavior.
According to police, Dove struck
Mr.. Williamson at an Engleside tav-
ern May II and the latter died
within an hour at Alexandria Hos
pital. The coroner's report attrib-
uted a brain hemorrhage to fist
blow on skull"
A charge of murder was filed by
police and the grand jury returned
a murder indictment. Common
wealth's Attorney Hugh B. Marsh
reduced the charge to assault and
battery.
Dove enlisted october 10, while
sentence was pending, and was as
signed to the Naval Air Reserve
Training Unit, Anacostia.
