81 Dividend Declared
On B. & 0. Preferred,
First Since 1881
By Edword c. Stone

Directors OF the Baltlmore d ONO
Railroad today declared dividend
of 81 a share on its preferred stock,
the first dividend it has paid since
1881.
President Roy B. White an
nounced the action at the opening
of the 122nd annual meeting OF
stockholders. He said 1t was par
ticularly gratifying" but that "fu-
ture dividends will depend on earn
ings and it is hoped the volume OF
business in the country and action
on pending rate and wage matters
will enable the company to sustain
its earnings"
Mr.. White reported the roads net
income in the first 10 months OF
1913 was $19,O43,031, an increase OF
sl2,836,113 over the like 1947 period.
He said federal-income taxes are
a serious drain on net income as
they are now running at the rate OF
3S. per cent. and estimated at SILL
100000 for this year. This is. equiv
alent to 81 a share on the preferred
stock and 1887 on the common.
The August freight rate increases
will add S71 900 900 to gross annual
ly, Mr.. White said; passenger fare
increases, about $2.800,0O0 annually
and higher mail compensation an
other s1,000,000. Not counting in
creased wages, the increased cost OF
coal will add $4,000 900 to the annual
fuel bill. The higher cost OF diesel
fuel will add 100000 and higher
steel prices another 81 ,236 600.
Directors were reelected. The
stockholders approved direct owner
ship of two subsidiaries, and the
purchase of the Centralia & Webster
Springs R. R. in West Virginia, for
S35 900. a four-mile coal line.

Food Is Paramount
In Preserving Peace,
Truman Tells FAC
Dodd Warns 57-Notion
Session Not to Depend
On Continued Big Crops
Rv AalroIn onhorne lr
By MoIeoIm Lomborne, Jr.

President Truman today told
delegates of 81 nations meeting
in the United Nations Food and
Organization con-
ference here that he knew of mo
one factor more important to the
future peace of the world than
food"
The Presidents message, read by
Secretary of Agriculture Brsnnon,
came as the conference got under
way in the Shoreham Hotel. The
message was followed by a warning
by N. E. Dodd, FAC director gen.
eral, that nations depending on food
exports must not "rest easily upon
expectations of continued excep-
tional crops in one region"
Mr.. Truman expressed hope that
FAC headquarters would remain in
the United States. One of the
tasks of the conference is to select
a permanent home for the agency
now having Offices here. Sites have
been narrowed down to Washington
Copenhagen and Rome.
1.-THE work which FAC does OF
leaves undone, will have a great
bearing on the history of the world.
the President said, adding that he
looked forward to greeting the del
egates in person before the confer.
ence adjourned. He Is now vacation
ing in Key West, Fla.
Chief Judge Marvin Jones of the
United States Court Of Claims alst
extended greetings. He was ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt Al
head of the United States delegation
to the 1943 Hot Springs food confer.
ence out of which the FAC grew.
Mr.. Dodd said better crops this
year had "dulled the edge, Of the
world shortage of food and ther
added his warning against extreme
dependence upon North America
for a large share of world food ex.
ports.
Less Food Per Capita.
For the world as a whole, Mr.
Dodd said, there is only nine-tenths
as much food per capita as before
the war and three-fourths as much
food per capita is moving in in
ternational trade.
Further, the supplies of fibers and
forest products are unsatisfactory
as q whole, he declared.
Although much progress has
been made toward rehabilitation,
even the prewar level of food pro-
duction-not yet attained-would
now be still less adequate, for each
day gives the world $1,000 more
mouths to feed" Mr.. Dodd said,
adding:
This is an uncomfortable picture.
It is not cause for despair. Instead
it Is . challenge"
Sees Critical Period.
The director general reminded the
delegates that FAC does not have
either the executive power Of gov
ernments or funds to force needed
improvement IN world agriculture
