Operators Of State S Institutions

Current high prices, which have
raised hob with housewives
throughout the nation, are just
as big a problem with the adj
ministration Of the states In
stitutions, Jack Ballew, Director
of the Department of Public In
situations revealed this week.
A survey completed this month
of various commodities which
have to be purchased by the in
situations, shows an increase in
the past two years of 81 per
cent in the average price of ne
cessary items. Many of the COM
modities have increased to a far
greater extent, Ballew stated.
Some of the increases in bulk
items used in great quantities
by the states Ii institutions in
clude: fresh beef, 1910 per
cent; weiners, 52.58 per cent; IA
rina, 140.05 per cent; rolled oats,
111.33 per cent; coffee, $3.50 per

.Harper-Singhrs
N upiials Held

Miss Mary Lou Harper, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph Harper
of Avenue B, and Karl G.. Singhrs
of Newberg, Oregon, were mar
ried at an informal ceremony Sat
urday evening at 6 o'clock in the
Methodist church. The double ring
service was read by the Rev. John
B. Coan in the presence of a small
group of relatives and close
friends.
The bride was dressed in dove
grey and wore orchids. Miss Lor-
ma Mcdonald, as bridesmaid and
Kenneth Harper, brother Of the
bride, as best man, were the at
tendants.
The bride is well known here,
having grown up in Kennewick
and was graduated from the high
school with the class of 1947. The
bridegroom is native of Michi-
gan.
Following the ceremony and q
wedding dinner, Mr.. and Mrs
Singhrs left on a trip which will
take them to Michigan and Cali
fornia. They plan to make their
home in California.

quantities as the others, was
black pepper which increased in
price 846.28 In two years.
The director pointed out that
the institutions, operating on rig
i'd budgets set up by the state
legislature, have been particular
ly hard hit by the price increases
which have in effect devaluated
their appropriations.
"The 1947 Legislature, meeting
less than year ago, appropri-
ated S5,318,230 to the institutions
for the operation of the kitchens
and dining rooms" Barlew stat
ed. "Since that time the price of
beef has increased ~ per cent,
corn meal 40 per cent, pastry
and white flour 80 per cent, SUI
gar % per cent plus smaller in
creaSeS in other necessary COM
modities. The value of our pur-
chasing dollar has dropped in ra-
ito with the price increases which
in effect has cut our appropri-
alton, made last year, and ham,
pered the subsistence program
in our institutions" he added.

Hanford Posts
Safely Record

Despite the fact that production
of plutonium at Hanford Works
is potentially one of he worlds
most hazardous operations, the
atomic plants safety record is
amazingly low in comparison to
the national average of all indus
tries. \
Records of the Atomic Energy
Commission show that during
1947 the frequency of accidents
among Acc and contractor per-
sonnet in operations at the Han
ford plant was only 81 injured
for each million manhours worked.
This rate Of less than one disabl-
ing injury for each million man
hours Is more than IS per cent be-
low the national average for all In
dustries. Hanford's safety record
on construction jobs last year is
1913 persons injured for each mil
lion man-hours worked, about SO
per cent below the national con-
struction average.
In its third semi-annual report
to Congress last month, the Atom
ic Energy Commission reported
that during the first ten months
of 1947, the frequency of acci-
dents among Acc and contractor
) personnel at all its operations
twas 4.91 persons injured for each

Clark Silent on Lane s
Demand That He Quit
In Fisheries Dispute
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 2.-Chairma1
John E. Clark of the Tidewate,
Fisheries Commission gave no hin
today as to whether he will acced,
to Gov. Lanes demand that he re-
sign.
After receiving a letter from Gov
Lane stating that the chairman,
statements and actions ito me ar,
demonstrative Of your inability tt
effectively administer this agency II
the public interest" Mr.. Clarf
merely said he had not reached
decision as to his next step.
Gov. Lanes action came as
climax to dispute within the three.
man commission over the status o1
Capt. Amos Creighton, commander
of the Tidewater fisheries fleet.
Mr.. Clark assigned Capt. Creigh.
ton to new duties after he was ap-
pointed chairman last year by Gov
Lane. George Harrison, another
commissioner, contended Capt
Creighton had been denoted.
Work of the commission came al
most to a standstill. Gov. Lane
ordered the commissioners to resume
normal activities last month, and the
commission finally did transact some
business last week.
Gov. Lanes letter, released by the
Governor last night, had this to say
about a letter written to him by
Mr.. Clark February 6:
81 believe this portion OF your
communication will stand in the
archives of Maryland as the most
insulting peroration ever appended
to a letter by an appointed official
to the Governor of this State"
The portion of the Clark letter
which Gov. Lane cited read in part
IT CLARK can find no way to
interpret this action on your part
Gov. Lane asking postponement OF
q private Creighton-Clark confer
ence) except that you are assuming
the perogatives of the office for
which I was appointed and the
responsibility for directing the per-
sonnel in the Tidewater Fisheries
Commission. ."
Hammond Discloses opinion.
Meanwhile, Attorney General Hall
Hammond made public in Baltimore
an opinion he had forwarded to
Gov. Lane on the status of Capt
Creighton.
He explained the law creating the
commission in 1941 set forth that the
commission had the power to detlne
the duties of the commander OF the
fisheries force, but at the same time
placed the job under provisions OF
the merit system.
Therefore, he said, the State en-
ployment commissioner, in settling
disputes over the position, would
have to bear in mindethat "the Leg
islature has given the green light
to the commission within very broad
limits"
