looking around the dusty rows OF

Association Charges
Preoecupotion With
Returns From Races
By ], [. Michael

Maxwell Covington, president OF
the Southern Maryland Livestock
Association, yesterday announced
that cattlemen of the five Southern
Maryland counties "are not inter
ested in showing their animals at
the Upper Marlboro Fair this year.
Chief cause of dissa tisfaction
cattlemen said. is alleged failure
of the Southern Maryland Fair
Association which sponsors the an
nual event to build receiving stables
for which plans were prepared last
spring. Fair officials contended
building permits for these stables
were denied at that time.
Fair officials are more interested
in racing returns than in providing
facilities to make a good fair" Mr.
Covington declared.
To-Day Track Permit Issued.
Mr.. Covington's announcement
followed the State Racing Commits
sion's issuance of permit for a
To-day meet at the Marlboro track,
where the fair is held. The permit
previously had been denied because
improvements ordered by the COM
mission at the track had not been
made.
The race meet is to be held Sep
tember 1924. The fair is scheduled
for October 6-11, three days longer
than in previous years. 1t must be
held, cattlemen said, because of a
racing commission rule which re-
quired that each half mile track in
the State have an agricultural ex-
hibit of some nature.
Cattle breeders say they do not
feel enough interest has been
shown in the agricultural feature
of the fair. Some believe the fair
association is primarily interested
in maintaining race track and
makes only such improvements as
are absolutely necessary to keep
the track in operation.
Two new receiving stables now
are under construction at the Marl-
boro Fairgrounds. Improvements
and repairs to old buildings also
are being made These include new
roofs on exhibition halls and paint
ing of all buildings.
Want Cattle Housed Better.
After a recent survey of facilities,
the State Fair Board recommended
that the betting ring under the
srandstand be used to house beef
cattle and that the race track be
used DIS a show ring.
Livestock men say they consider
the track "a poor substitute" for
a show ring. They also feel their
cattle should have better housing
John Farrell, secretary -treasurer
of the Southern Maryland Fair As
sociation said last years fair was
'one Of the best and we nope to
make this years an even better
one"
"For the first time" he asserted,
"a horse show will be held and
midway entertainment features will
provide carnival spirit"
Another departure from GUS
TOM" Mr.. Farrell declared, sis that
entries this year will be received
from all over the State. Previously
only Southern Maryland exhibitors
have been eligible. We anticipate
greatly increased entry lists this
year"
Mr.. Farrell stressed that new TOO
car parking area had been provided
and that ground surrounding the
grandstand had been sodded.
'fWe expect" he said, "to tear
down the grandstand and build new
ones as soon as materials and labor
are available"

By Cospor Names
Stoy Stoff coyrexnondenf

GRAFTON, Md, Aug. 16.-The
Tooth annual festival of Old Dur.
ham Episcopal Church was helc
today on the parish house grounds
of this Charles County community
First of these festivals, now a ira.
dition in this part of Maryland, was
held in 1843 to raise money fol
remodeling the Old Durham
Church at 1ronsides, near Indiar
Head. The church, built in 1882
is three miles from the parish house
and the adjoining rectory. The festi.
walls were discontinued for foul
years during the war and were re.
sumed last year.
Many traditional features of the
century old event are retained, in
Guiding retail booths, noise makers
games and informal dancing.
But the big feature was an "old-
fashioned Southern Maryland din
ner."
The menu required u pounds o1
ham, corn pudding "a'plenty," sever
dozen CHICKENS one lamb, i"gallons
and gallonsp iof potatoS salad, II
gallons of coleslaw, six bushels o1
tomatoes and quantities Of home
made jellies.
Sales of Cake Are Large.
But no dessert" laughed Mrs
Reginal B. Stevenson, wife Of the
rector of Old Durham Church
People buy so many cakes and
other sweets at the booths, dessert
is not needed"
Supervising the festival was the
Rev. Reginal B. Stevenson. He was
asked by the late Right Rev. James
E. Freeman, Bishop of Washington
in 1926 to take over Old Durham
Parish for two years.
An Englishman by birth, hi
studied in Canada and served a.
vicar at Holy Comforter Episcopa
Church in Washington from 1872;
to 1925. Mr.. Stevenson liked the
country and its people so well he
turned a temporary assignment intt
a life career.
The memories of his 81 years a!
rector include many earlier features
of the festival.
I'm the early days." he said, 9Th.

The festivals" he went on, "wert
also held in the early days on Thurs
day to fit in with the boat schedule
connecting Washington with Liver.
pool Point, near here"
In the large throng moving around
the parish grounds were many visi.
tors from washington, Baltimor,
and even more-distant points. Soms
were former parishioners who have
moved away.
Funds from the festival are usee
to pay the insurance and other in.
cidental expenses of the .255-year.
old parish. The first church, built
of logs, was erected in. 1892. The
present building, constructed Il
years later. has been remodelec
several times.

church on March II, It'll, and men.

The most famous vestrylnan of the
church was Gen. William Smallwood

Time to qualify for bidding and the auction date for the sale of l 500, 100000 cubic feet of national forest timber in the vicinity of Petersburg, have been extended, according to an announcement by the Forest Service of the U.

A Nonpolitical Position

To the Editor OF The Star:
On December 81, 1916, there appeared
on page AT Of the home edition OF
The Star, a news item, so placed as to
be widely read, relating to the recently
announced appointment of Charles S.
Murphy as an administrative assistant
to President Truman. The item further
stated that Mr.. Murphy has been as
sistant legislative counsel for the Sem
ate since 1894 Then the item makes
the highly erroneous statement that
MIR. Murphy stood to lose the Senate
post under Republican control"
Mr.. Murphy. particularly, and all the
rest of us who have served in that ca
pacity in the Office of the legislative
counsel resent the statement and its
implications. I feel confident that, prior
to publication, a little checking would
have made apparent the error.
, Personnel in the Office of the legisla-
tive counsel are selected without refer
ence to political affiliations and solely
on the ground of fitness to perform the
duties of the office" To my knowledge,
there has never been single deviation
from that policy, nor has any person
been relieved of his position there be-
cause of his political views or Affiliations.

The State Department is following
a wise course in planning to hold
open hearings on the proposed
charter for the international Trade
Organization of the United Nations.
The purpose of the hearings
which are to take place between now
and spring in this city, Boston, Chi
cago, New Orleans, Denver and San
Francisco-is to obtain good cross
section of informed American opin-
ion and to win as much support as
possible for the Governments ef-
forts to bulWark the peace by pro-
noting a freer flow of world COM
merce.
Up to now, the United States has
taken the initiative in this field.
Under its leadership, special
United Nations preparatory commit
tee met in London last fall and
drafted the ITO charter. The COM
mittee will meet again in April, at
Geneva, Switzerland, to complete its
work in time for the world trade
conference in which some sixty diff
ferent countries are expected to
participate toward the end of the
wear. For its own guidance, there
fore, as well as for public educa-
tional purposes, the State Depart
ment has good reason to make the
most of the projected open hearings.
In its present form, the ITO char
ter embraces principles aimed at
encouraging a healthy world econ
only. It would do this by substi~
tuting reciprocal trade for excessive
tariff barriers, export-import re-
strictions, discriminatory agree
ments and similar devices that have
inhibited the flow of commerce in
the past and caused war-breeding
international frictions. The charter
is primarily an American idea
drawn up under American leader
ship. Ironically enough, however,
there is possibility that Americans
may defeat it. At any rate, there
are storm signals on the horizon.
Certain Southern economic groups,
for example, have recently voiced
hostility, and some influential Re-
publicans in Congress. have indi-
Gated lack of sympathy for what
the State Department has been
trying to do.
In the circumstances, the forth
coming open hearings should serve
to clear the air. The Importance
of the question involved can hardly
be exaggerated. If something like
the ITO charter is not adopted
and effectuated-andi it cannot sue
ceed, of course, without full Ameri-

At the end of the war Great Britain
faced a housing shortage even more acute
than that in the United States. The
war itself had taken a terrible toll OF
British housing. More than one-third OF
Britain's prewar homes were either de-
stroyed OF damaged by bombs and fires
set off by bombs. OF an estimated
10000. 900 British homes standing in 1889,
fully 25O.000 were entirely obllterated
and 100000 others were damaged by
enemy action In crowded London alone
10000 out of total of $4,000 houses
were completely destroyed by bombing
and 10000 were affected in some way.
Moreover, virtually no new building
was done during the war because OF
priorities on materials for war use. Prior
to 1889 Britain was producing an aver
age OF 325, 1000 housing units a year
somewhat higher than the depression
rate of building in the United StateS)
simply to meet normal expansion and
replacement needs. The six years OF war
thus produced deficit of nearly 2,OO0,-
900 dwellings without counting war DAM
age. Add to that some 100000 units OF
slum dwellings which the Labor govern
ment is committed to replace, and you
can appreciate something of Britain's
housing crisis.
X
The government has set the immediate
goal for emergency housing at 10000
units, and the longer-run goal for
urgently needed housing at upward
of 100000 units. Thus it will at
tempt to produce nearly two-thirds as
much housing as the United States in the
immediate postwar period, although its
population is only one-third as great
and its resources are proportionatelyt
even smaller
To meet this gigantic problem the
Labor government virtually took over
the housing industry late In 1945. The
British people had long been accustomed
to large-scale public housing Under the
housing and town planning act Of 1918,
