In Maryland
Harmony in Choice
Of Delegates Seen
In Baltimore
By John V. HGrner

Unless all signs fail, the Mary
land State Democratic Convention
in Baltimore Tuesday will be as
harmonious as any in history.
The Democrats major concern will
be the election of % delegates and
28 alternates-with a total of 20
votes-to the Philadelphia National
Convention July II. Even this is
expected to be only formality, with
the convention putting official ap-
proval on decisions made well in
advance of the State gathering.
Party leaders anticipate no effort
to have the Maryland delegation
to Philadelphia instructed on the
! presidential nomination. Robert B.
Ennis, Baltimore businessman, who
Echairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee, said last night
that, so far as he knew, this sub
ject has not been discussed" in
party councils.
Radcliffe to Preside.
Mr.. Ennis will call the convention
to order in the Emerson Hotel at
130 pm. Tuesday and former Sen
ator George L. Radcliffe, veteran
Democratic orator, will take over as
temporary chairman. His subsequent
election as permanent chairman is
likely.
No major addresses are scheduled
but short talks will be given by
some of Maryland's prominent
Democrats. These include Gov
Lane, Senator Tydings, Senator
OConor, Mayor DAlessandro of
Baltimore and party nominees to
the House of Representatives.
The six members of the latter
group are Representative Sasscer,
9th District; Representatives Gar
matz and Fallon, Baltimore; F.
Byrne Austin of Takoma Park, 9Th
District; State Senator William P.
Bolton, I'd District, and S. Scott
Beck, jr., lst District.
Mrs. M. Alice Candles of Balti-
more, Democratic national commit
teeWoman, also is expected to speak
briefly. The national committee
man is Gov. Lane.
No Changes Indicated.
There are no advance indications
of changes in the party leadership
this year, so the convention busi-
ness is expected to be completed
within few hours. Such problems
as may occur will be considered and
probably solved at a preliminary
conference of the leaders, which
Gov. Lane and Mr.. Ennis scheduled
tomorrow night.
Each of Maryland's congressional
districts is entitled to two delegates
and two alternates to Philadelphia.
The State is allowed four votes at
large-cast by eight delegates-for
having two Democratic Senators. 1t
gets still another block of four votes
tand eight delegates for going
Democratic in the 1914 election.
These 16 delegates at-large will
be supplemented by is alternates.
The delegation is expected to be
bound by the unit rule, so that the
20 Maryland votes will be cast as
decided by a majority of those at
tending the National Convention.

Planners Back
2zoning Pleas
In Montgomery
Oppose Three Others
Asking Land Use
For Apartments

The Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission yes
terday recommended that the
Montgomery County Commissioners
deny three petitions for apartment
house and commercial zoning and
approve two others which also seek
apartment house use of land.
A special recommendation was
made in the case Of a sixth petition
for the rezoning of three lots on
the east side of River road near the
Baltimore g. Ohio Railroad from
residential A and commercial D to
industrial E.
In acting on this requests filed by
Abe and Irving Miller. the commits
sion proposed that one lot remain
in commercial D classification, that
the second be rezoned from residen-
tial A to commercial D and that
the third be changed from residen-
tial A to industrial E. A hearing
will be held at 2;30 pm. June Is
in the Bethesda County Building.
Among the three petitions OPP
posed was one for commercial use
of about four acres on Wisconsin
avenue between the Naval Medical
Center and Glenbrook Village, Be-
thesda, to permit erection of an
apartment hotel.
Held Undesirable.
The commission contended there
lis sufficient commercial zoning along
Wisconsin avenue as far as Chest
nut street and that its extension
would be undesirable.
A hearing on the petition. filed
by Samuel Kushner. is scheduled
for $3.50 pm. June IS In the Be-
thesda County Building.
Also recommended for disapproval
is a request by the Bannockburn
Heights Improvement Co., through
its attorney, Walter w. Dawson, for
apartment house use of approxi-
mately 81 acres between Massachu-
sets avenue extended, Goldsboro
road and Macarthur boulevard. =
Declaring that the tract is sur
rounded by single-family neighbour
hoods. the commission added:
The large amount of already
zoned apartment sites opposite the
Army Map Service Plant on Sanga-
more road which are as yet
undeveloped emphasizes the lack of
current local public need to increase
the amount of apartment zoned
property"
Old Georgetown Road Plea Opposed.
The third petition which the
county commissioners were asked to
deny is for commercial use Of
property at Old Georgetown road
and Del Ray avenue, Bethesda. The
request was filed by Leo I. and
Dorothy M. Donovan.
Hearings on the latter two petit
tions will be held at 240 and $40
pm, respectively, June IS, in the
Bethesda County Building.
Approval was recommended for
the following petitions:
Vernon M. Dorsey, residential A
to c for land on the south side Of
Chevy Chase drive between Offutt
lane and Bradley boulevard, Beth
esda.
Thomas E. Hampton, residential
A to G for property in the same
area.
Hearings on the two requests are
scheduled for 2:50 and $40 pm,

Decisions

''Choose you this day whom we

my house, we will serve the Lord
Joshua 24:15.
Around New Years Day we often
make decisions concerning what we
are going to do and be in the coming
year. But every day is decision day.
A thousand times day we are call
ed on to decide one thing or another.
Where we go, what we wear and eat,
what we do and say-all these are
the results of decisions.
Some decisions are more important
than others, of course. Some carry
with them a whole flock of results
while others are comparatively trl-
vial. The greatest decision we are
ever called upon to make is the de
cision as to whether we will serve
God or mammon.

err due to feed shortage and poor
quality.
Demand for dairy products Will
continue strong. Prices probably will
average about the same as in l947'
However, net income to producers
will be smaller because of higher
feed and labor costs.
. POULTRY AND EGG PRODUC-
TON is expected decline from l941
production. Demand will continue
strong, both for eggs and poultry
meat. Prices should average at least
as high as in 1947. Feed costs will
be higher and quality will be lower.
Net income will be lower because OF
higher production costs.
VEGETABLE PRODUCTION and
prices in 1948, with some exceptions
are expected to be at levels about
the same as in 1947 With average
weather conditions, production OF
sweetpotatoes and fresh market veg
etables probably will be somewhat
larger.
Irish potatoes and truck crops for
processing will be about the same.
Cabbage acreage may be increased
materially due to good prices In
1947. Lower prices may result In
l948. Demand for vegetables likely
will stay about the same as in l947.
Commercial vegetable growers
may profit most by shifting acreage
among individual crops, and to some
extent by planning production for
different market dates.
FOREST PRODUCTS production
in 1913 will continue heavy. Supplies
will be more plentiful. Demand Will
continue heavy throughout 1948.
Prices are expected to be as high
and possibly higher, than during
1947.
