u. ). Workers Riqht
To Seek Local Office
To Be Decided Soon

The question of whether Federal
employees living in nearby Maryland
and Virginia will be allowed to run
for local office as candidates of one
of the two national parties is due
to be decided within matter OF
days"
This was revealed yesterday after
noon by Harry B. Mitchell. presi-
dent of the Civil Service Commits
sion, following hearings on pro-
posals to relax regulations govern
ing political activity of Federal
workers.
Under the terms of the Hatch Act
passed in 1910, the commission is
empowered to set up rules with re-
spect to those employees living Sin
the immediate vicinity of the Ma
tional Capital, in the States OF
Maryland and Virginia or in mu-
inequalities the majority of whose
voters are employed by the Govern
ment of the United States"
Must Run as Independents.
AS it is presently applied, the rules
say that Federal officers and en-
ployes who are candidates for local
elective Office must run as inde-
pendent candidates and must con-
duct their campaigns in a purely
nonpartisan manner"
The action for relaxation of the
present rules was initiated by Rep
resentative Smith of Virginia and
Representative Sasscer of Maryland,
both Democrats, who were heard by
the commission on April %.
At yesterdays open hearing, the
commission listened to more than
20 persons, the large majority of
whom pleaded for revision of the
present rules.
A number of the witnesses pointed
to the fact that Federal employees
are running for county Offices as in
dependents, when, in fact, their sup
porters formed third party to elect
them on "nonpartisan" tickets.
Confusion Over Phrase.
Confusion resulting from various
interpretations of the phrase local
elective Office" was revealed by
Herbert Howe, president of the Ar
lington County Home Protective
Association, who asked for any re-
Taxation or liberalization of the
Hatch Act within the purview of the
commission.
Mr.. Howe said that there is con-
slant confusion as to which local
Offices are local and which were not.
He cited some county officers whose
salaries are paid, in part, at least, by
the State.
David Scull. former secretary of
the Fairfax County Civic Associ-
alton, told the commissioners exist
ing regulations have removed from
public life in Fairfax County the
best brains Of the county and left
county administration, "notwith-
standing their high moral charac-
ter" to a garbage collection and a
retired mailman.
"Resort of Subterfuge."
Mrs. Beulah Goss, of the Fort
Meyer Heights Citizens Association,
said Government employees are re-
sorting to every subterfuge, under
the present rules, to hold QocaD
Office"
Opposition to a relaxation of the
rules was expressed by Mrs. Ruby
Simpson, president of the Arlington
Civic Federation, VINO contended-
that contemplated revisions are in
adequate and would serve no good
purpose. Others who opposed the
proposal included M. D. Miller and
Harley Williams, both of the Airing

Robert E. Reynolds, a member Of

ton of the rules because, he said,

The Markets at q Glance

Demand-First quarter demand for farm
products probably will not pass last quarter
OF 1947.
-Cattle-Prices probably will level off for
short time before late winter and spring rise
begins.
Hogs-Rising market "a probable for next
two or three months.
Lambs-Most Of winter advance has taken
place, but further moderate rise is probable.
WooI-Early efforts to contract fine and
half-blood woods is indication of advancing
trend on these grades.
ing forces probably will hold market below
Observation-Disclosures peak for a considerable
period.
continue to sell very slowly
but reduced demand probably will permit some
building up of market stocks.
Minor grains-Stocks at terminal markets
are being reduced quite slowly.
Observation-Disclosures in selling in new year
probably will fall short of crushers' e~xpecta-
lions.
Seeds-Recent advances in prices paid By
dealers indicate higher spring retail prices.
eeds-Dairymen report use of higher pro-
portion of commercial mixed feeds than evef
previously recorded.
Hay-Dairy and feeder demand probably will
be stronger in next two or three months.
Dairy Observation-Disclosures output is nov
about equal to creamery butter production.
Eggs-IncreaSe of 30 to so percent in pro-
duction will reduce prices in next two OF
three months.
PouItry-Lighter fresh arrivals in late win
ter and early spring probably will bring fur
ther price rise.
Potatoes-Moderate remaining stocks give
favorable outlook for rest of season.
Apples-Slow movement of heavy stocks
probably will cause continued draggy market
for near future.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-01-15

Jan. ! seems to have started, al
though there are indications that
it may not be very extensive, especi-
ally if prices sag. The new crop out
look has continued to improve in
the southwest and has remained
exceptionally favorable in the inn
portant eastern states. Hence, a total
crop of winter and spring wheat
well above a billion bushels is a pos
sibility.
European farmers have a prospect
of a normal crop, which would be
about one-half more than last year.
Because of recent legislation, gov
eminent purchases for export prob
ably will be more cautious than
during the fall and are likely to be
scaled to permit a fairly heavy
carryover.
FLAXSEED-Crusher have been
expecting farmers to sell more free
ly in January, but it is doubtful If
offerings will increase enough to
weaken prices. Probably only 6,000,-
900 to 10000 900 bushels of the 1947
crop remain unsold, and crushers
probably will be ready to take on
additional stocks as fast as they are
offered.
DAIRY PRODUCTS-The milk
flow, nationwide, probably will rise
10 to 20 percent in the next two
months and prices are likely to de-
cline slightly. Production turned
upward at about the usual time in
December, but it has come up slow
ly thus far and is 2 to 3 percent less
than last year. In some sections,
farmers are reported to be feeding
less grain than a year ago. In spite

two months. The anticipated in

JAN. J, Is4s

WHILE DEMAND for farm prod
ucts probably will continue extra
ordinarily high In the first quarter
of 1948, it is not likely to be much
better than in the last quarter of
1947. Consumer spending power
probably will hit a new peak in the
next three months, but export de-
mand probably will be weaker than
in the last few months. ALLEGATIONS
of grains, meats and fats and oils
for export in the current quarter are
less than in the preceding quarter.
Debate on the Marshall plan may
hold back speculative demand.
Prices received by farmers on Dec.
Is, 1947, passed all previous peaks.
The index was 301 percent of the
August 1909-July 1914 level. Cost
rates also increased to a new all
time high.
CATTLE - Prices for all grades
have now reached quite extreme
levels, partly because of the sharp
drop in receipts during the holidays.
Consumer resistance to prevailing
prices for beef probably will check
the rise and bring about a moderate
setback in the next month or six
weeks.
Another period of strong prices
is probable in late winter and early
spring, however. Fewer cattle will
come to market at that time and less
| pork will be available to consumers.
Prices for the lower grades probably
will show more strength than top
grades, so that the present extreme
ly wide price range is likely to mar
row materially.
HOGS - Prices probably will
work higher during the next two
or three months. The increase In
receipts, which started in early jan
uary, is temporary. Assuming av-
erage weather for the next corr
crop, the ratio is likely to become
quite profitable next fall for grow
ers who keep up their hog herds
LAMBS - Most of the winter rise
probably has taken place, although
the market is likely to rise mod
erately higher in the next two Oh
three months. Because of more uni.
form distribution of the supply
price fluctuations probably will b.
narrower than during the late fall
and early winter.
WOOL - Steady to higher price
appear probable over the next thre'
of four months. Contracting of I'm

of an advancing market, has starte,
