Agriculture Department hearings if
its demand for an increase of SO
cents a hundredweight is not met,
is comprised of 1861 dairy farmers
in nearby counties and claims to
produce 80 per cent of the milk of

to withhold one-third of their sup
ply to force the distributors to pay
a higher price. The distributors re-
tailiated by refusing to accept any
milk from members of the associa-
ton. The situation continued for
three weeks. At the end of that
time the association gave up the

BALTIMORE, April "A new
candidate entered the race for the
Democratic nomination for Mary
land Governor yesterday.
Vincent F.. Long of Baltimore
filed his certificate of candidacy
with the Secretary of State at An
napolis, bringing to five the num-
Der seeking the Democratic guber-
material nomination.
Mr. Long filed for Governor in
1912 but withdrew before the elec-
ton. He ran for the senatorial
nomination in 1910 and 1914, trail
ing far behind the major candi-
dates each time.
Others Seeking Nomination.
Other candidates for the Demo-
cratic gubernatorial nomination are
Stephen B. Peddicord, Baltimore;
William Preston Lane, jr., Hagers-
town; Representative Baldwin, Bal
tlmore County, and State Controller
j. Millard TaWes, Crisfield.
Mr.. Baldwin, Mr.. Lane and Tawes
are considered the major contenders
Mr.. Baldwin's voting record in
Congress and his opposition to the
CIO-Political Action Committee
were critized yesterday by Mrs
Marie Bauernschmidt, executive
secretary of the Public School Asso-
citation of Baltimore.
Mrs. BauernSchmidt, long active
in civic affairs, asserted that during
last falls racing season Mr.. Baldwin
was 'absent twice as often as he was
present" at congressional roll calls
She termed his attacks on the CIO-
PAC a strictly phoney" issue.
Charges Political Tieup.
Mr.. Baldwin replied in a state
ment today that Mrs. Bauern-
schmidt's assertions were utterly
untrue and misleading" and limited
that there was a political connection
between her and Attorney General
William Curran, who has opposed
his candidacy.
1T is quite coincidence that Mr.
Curran warned me that if 1 filed for
Governor he was sure Mrs. Bauern-
schmidt would come out against
me" Mr.. Baldwin said. While Mrs
Bauernschmidt has a perfect right
to make her own selection among
the candidates for Governor, 1 am
not any more frightened at heI
stand than 1 am of Mr.. Curran."
Meanwhile, State Senator John
B. Funk, Frederick, a candidate fol-
State controller, attacked Mr.. Lanes
recent pledge to abolish the State
real estate tax if elected Governor
Mr.. Funk asserted that Mr.. Lanes
proposal showed a lack of under
standing of the fiscal structure o1
the State" Mr.. Funk is allied with
the Baldwin forces.
Mayor McKeldin Warned.
In the Republican camp, Mayor
Theodore McKeldin of Baltimore
received a warning from the mar
ne unseated in 1943, former Mayor
Howard w. jackson, long a Demo
cratic power.
Inactive in recent campaigns, Mr.
Jackson warned that "Mr. McKeldir
had better not awaken me- or he
might find the former Mayor run.

Mr.. jackson recalled that in 1881
he was aroused by reports that he
