Greenbe|t Coop Tests
Popularity in Poll for
Resolution Signers

Greenbelt Consumer Services, Inc.
today put its popularity in the town
to the test by circulating resolu-
ton of approval among the 4D0C
families of the community.
Designed as an answer to the
finding Saturday of a House Small
Business Subcommittee that the
coop is monopoly and is favored
by only minority of residents, the
measure, which was passed by GCS
last night:
/. Voices support of the board OF
directors on its policies of providing
adequate" supplies and services to
the community.
2. "Deplores the biased nature OF
the so-called House hearing',in that
the subcommittee failed to call
witnesses favorable to the coop
for testimony"
Not Opposed to Competition.
8. Does not oppose introduction
of private enterprise into the town
so long as unfair competition is
not offered the coop in price wars
4. Urges the Public Housing Ad-
ministration to abide by its present
10-year lease to GCS.
More than 400 members of the CO.
operative unanimously favored in
principle the measures submitted at
the third quarterly meeting held last
night in Greenbelt Center School.
Reports on the two-day House
hearing last week were given by
Frank J. Lastner, secretary of the
GCS board of directors, and Paul
Borsky, both of whom testified be-
fore the subcommittee
Mr. Lastner said he was amazed
that the group could have offered
its final report in month, much
less 20 minutes" the time, he
charged, the 2-to-1 majority took to
render its findings.
Compares Profits.
The secretary couldn't under
stand" how a small business com.
mittee of the House could condone
an 100000, 900 yearly net profit or
ganization like Safeway Stores, and
yet call our $4,000 net margin coop
corporation monopoly"
The subcommittee is kicking us
around like football" he said. But
GCS is one that won't break"
Mr.. Borsky declared that, "if our
coop is monopoly, it is one that
certainly benefits the whole COM
munity-and I never heard of a
monopoly doing that before" He
added the coop has built up bust
ness from the beginning when pri-
vate enterprise was afraid to take
the risk"
Nov that the fruit has ripened
private enterprise wants to step in
and grab it," he added.
Dayton Hull, head OF the director S
board, presided.

Bobby Lewis, 8. presented himself
as the first customer and asked fol
a book on astronomy and the
planets.
Other towns visited on the first
trip were Bowie, Newton Hill

driven me crazy wanting me to
come over to see who is selling books
What is this all about?"

The question of whether or not
the books we're for sale seemed to
bother most people, but the library
won quick approval when it was
explained as free service.
Constance Southern, 8, also OF
West Lanham Hills, seemed only to
be worried about how long she
could keep the books, II like to
read them over and over again,
she confessed.
As the system is arranged now
users may take books for one month
They are to be returned when the
bookmobile makes its rounds again
There are no fines.
The purpose of the library, OF
which the bookmobile is a part, was
explained by Mrs. James E. Nc
Murtrey, originator of the book
mobile idea for Prince Georges
County, and member of the County
Library Board-"This is dedicated
for those who have served or died
in war that through you truth ano
peace may prevail"
Money to buy the converted one
ton truck, approximately $2,l00, was
raised by Prince Georges school chill.

and nickels. Proceeds from the ini-

received tax support. It gets $4,000
"a year from the State, which must
be used to buy books.
Results of First Trip.
During the first trip the rolling
library, driven by G. H. Harris, dis
tributed over 200 books on all sub
jects.
Commenting on the requests for
particular books, Mrs. Mary B
Kenan, county librarian, said that
she rated the initial reception OF
the service very promising"
Mrs. Carmela Hibben, adult serv-
ices librarian, who mans the
bookmobile. reported many people
requested books by authors rather
than titles. Favorites yesterday
were Frances Parkinson Keyes, Faith
Baldwin and Pearl Buck.
Subject favorites were home
making, baby care, sports and cur
rent romantic novels.

ency meeting of more than 20

Considerable tobacco which has

Fear Market Break.
According to Frank M. Hall, chair
man OF the Warehousemen's Com
mittee and president of the Marl-
boro Tobacco Board of Trade, who
presided last night, the warehouse
men opposed remaining open any
longer, even though some tobacco
may 60 unsold, for fear the market
would break and the bottom fall out.
During recent sales, Mr.. Hall
pointed out, one buyer, the r. ].
Reynolds Co., has been purchasing
about "A per cent of the entire mar
ket.
The last-minute rush to the mar
kets by farmers has resulted in the
sale of 1,25o,Oo0 pounds of tobacco
in three days so far this week at
Marlboro, Mr.. Hall said. The aver
age is running about IS cents a
pound now, compared to about 10
or Is cents more few weeks ago,
he added.

and the Planters Tobacco Market,
were filled to capacity late yesterday
with much of the tobacco already
sold. More than Is trucks with un-
sold tobacco, lined up outside of the
warehouses, were not unloaded until
midnight. The three warehouses
hold about 100000 pounds.

pounds were given for the amount
OF unsold tobacco Since the season

approximately 100000 pounds.
Prices for this years record crop
were considerably lower than last
year. The prices have ranged from
low OF 6 cents pound to as high
as 81 cents pound. The yearly
average. through last Friday, was
slightly better than As cents a
pound.
Last year prices went as high as
IA cents, an all-time record, with q
5etter-than-56-cent average.
Opening of markets in Georgia
and the Carolinas, the latter during
the past week, drew many laborers
from the Maryland warehouses,
leaving more work for those remain
ing to clear the floors.
Closed for Day.
The markets in Marlboro became
SO congested last Thursday, because
of the large quantities of tobacco
remaining on the warehouse floors,
it was necessary to close for the day.

It was the administrative embar-

up the most criticism among the

Critics argued this would give agen-

As a result, the Security Board
later dropped the administrative

out the section relating to being
