Nationwide Shipping
 Strike Taking Shape

Washington, Oct. 1-(UP)-Mer- chant Marine officers touched off 8 new nationwide shipping strike to- day when round-the-clock negotia- tions failed to settle their wage dis pute before the strike deadline last midnight.
 The shipping industry, just re- covering from the 16-day tieup last month, again was threatened with paralysis as c. I. O. and A. F. L.. stay on the job pending further ne- gotiation.
 The governments hopes for a prompt settlement faded early today when Washington negotiations broke down between Pacific Coast shippers and the two unions involv- ed-the c. I. O. Marine Engineers Beneficial Association and the A. F. L. Masters, Mate and Pilots.
 Representatives of the unions and East Coast and Gulf shippers, how ever, continued their talks, but the impasse in the Pacific Coast dispute dimmed prospects for an early in- dustrywide settlement.
 Haggard and weary from lack of sleep, Secretary of Labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach, Admiral w. w. Smith of the Maritime Commission and Government conciliators re- mained closeted with the disputants until 4 A. M. in a futile effort to find a solution.
 Schwellenbach left the conference es with an appeal for the Pacific Coast operators and the unions to resume their talks over the principal stumbling block-the unions de- mands for preferential hiring, which the operators had turned down flat ly.
 Government conciliators arranged to meet with the A. F. L. union around Noon and with the c. I. O. union at 3:30 P. M. EST, to thrash out the issues.
 More than 1000 members of the c. I. O. Marine Engineers in New York formed the vanguard for the strike. At midnight they shut off all power on contract ships and formed picket lines which threat ened to tie up the nations largest port.

Four Months To Go

Every Maryland farmer who is op-
Grating an agricultural conservation
plan on his farm has just little over
four months left in which to use ma
terials and carry out practices to get
full credit end payment of ACP
funds, said Mr.. Jos. H. Blandford. He
advised farmers to take stock of their
conservation program, SO as to see
which practices can still be carried
out this year, to improve tie soil and
to get additional funds allowed un-
der the conservation program.
Check with the county AAA Office,
or with county committeeman, he
said, but be sure not to let conserva-
ton funds in any county go unused,
when the need for soil and farm i'm
provement is actually so much great
er than te thotal funds can cover.

State Credited
With Producing
Huge Pea Pack

Credit for helping to produce one
of the largest packs of canned peas
on record at time when an abun-
dant food supply is world problem
went to the farmers and Gamers of
Maryland, one of the countrys lead
ing pea producing states.
Although no official state or ma
tional figures have as yet been COM
piled L. w. Graaskamp of the Amer
ican Can Company, estimates that the
nations canned pea pack this year
will be about 3S,500,000 cases, or
more than 9OO,0OO,0O0 cans of peas.
This is a conservative estimate, Mr..
Graaskamp stated, and is based on
the quantity of cans supplied for the
crop and information obtained from
growers, Gamers and other sources.
A pack of this size has been exceed
ed only in 1945, said the can COM
pany executive, wko pointed out that
the average annual prewar pack of
canned peas in the years 1937-41 was
23,SOO,000 cases.
Acreage of vegetables for canning
continue to show a marked increase,
he said attributing this steady
growth partly to the stabilizing eff
fects of the tin can in the nation s
agricultural economy. 1t has provided
American farmers with broader mar
kets, he expainled, by making pos
sible year-round consumption of veg
etables produced during the short
growing season.
