Extension Annual
Report Is Issued

Education in a classroom contain
ing more than $500 square miles is
described in the annual report of the
Maryland Extension Service for last
year.
Entitled Carrying Science to
Farm People, the report states that
much of the educational program was
carried on by personal contact be-
tween Extension agents and rural
people. DR.. T. b. Symons, director of
the Service, points out that agents in
the % counties and Baltimore City
made more than 2G,000 farm and
home visits. They received more than
twice that many office callers and
handled about four times as many
phone calls.
In reporting on dairy activities, the
report calls attention to the contrast
between production of cows enrolled
in Dairy Herd Improvement Associ-
ations and the average COW in the
State. D.IILA. cows averaged S,225
pounds of milk and $40 pounds of but
terfat per year while the average
Maryland cow produced only $3.50
pounds of milk and PA pounds of fat.
Describing brolers as maryland
product with a national reputation"
DR.. Symons reports that last years
income from this industry amounted
to more than AZ million dollars. He
calls attention to efforts to help poul-
try breeders produce better chickens
and turkeys and says, "The bloodlines
developed by these breeders are used
to improve the quality of chicks and
poults sold to commercial producers
in all parts of the state. These pro-
ducers base their entire business on
the young stock they buy"
Commenting on achievements on
rural youth in All Club programs,
Dr.. Symons declares that, "Much of
the credit for these accomplishments
Of Maryland youth are due the local
volunteers leaders, who gave I'M
sparingly of their time and effort.
These men and women can in later
years look with hard-earned pride
upon the lives of the citizens they in
fluenced through All leadership"

The one thing I brought along

white pith helmet. Pith helmets
are worn strictly by the natives,

one dress. The same goes for

his inaugural address.
Under the Presidents plan steps
would be taken for the economic
and social development of under
developed and underpopulated
areas OF Latin America and South
Africa, the two remaining major
frontiers between civilization and
the wilderness.
The purpose Of the plan is to
open up new areas for human
settlement in order to relieve pop
ulation pressures, principally In
Europe, where the natural ir-
ability of the people to support
themselves on a high standard
is aggravated by maladjustments
arising out of World War II and
it's disturbance Of population and
economic patterns which per-
mitted surplus populations to
exist, at least.
Cost Thus Far Prohibitive.
Some countries have become in
terested in the acquisition OF
settlers from various parts OF
Europe, chiefly as a means OF
strengthening their own economic
and social structures. Their
sought-for immigration is selec-
tive, however, and in some cases
the cost of moving whole families
from the Old World to the New
has been prohibitive.
The United States has been
taking displaced persons under
an act Of Congress which permits
205 900 to come in by June, 1850
Australia Is taking other large
numbers, and Argentina and Bra
zil have been active in seeking
immigration from Europe.
The United States, however
does not provide a substantial
possible outlet for the large num-
bers who are cluttering up Eu-
ropes economy right now, and
the bill which created the Walter
committee was motivated by the
desire to find some other outlet
than the United States for the
millions who are now a drag on
Europe's resources.

tration over Dewey's type of cam
paign and his defeat. The head
lines stressed anti-Dewey feeling
Now, however, the party is DEM
onstrating how hard it is for them
to get together on a relatively
simple problem like running the
national committee. The national
committeeman are not even the
men who must slug out policy and
the record in Congress and in
the States; they are the fat cats
mostly, the checkwriters who raise
money and make arrangements
for the convention. In the con-
vention the committee has some
power through its control of OFF,
GERS, speakers, ETC., but nothing
a strong candidate cannot easily
overcome.
Now it is clear that unless some
dark horse gifted with unusual
magnetism or even hypnotic pow
ers appears, the new chairman will
not have q united committee be-
hind him. More thoughtful COM
mitteemen and committeewomen
deplore the situation and swear
they will not participate in any
more dogf1ghts but they admit
they have no solution.
What it probably means is that
Republicans in Congress will con-
tinue to take the play away from
the committee, running their own
campaigns and If necessary rails
ing funds on their own. Morale
on the committee staff meanwhile
has sunk to new lows and the
press notices are not precisely
cheering.

purpose was to avoid the deficit

said to be confronting the Gov
ernment. At first glance it ap-
peared to be a gracious gesture to-
ward the President, an expression
Of confidence in his ability to do
what the Congress was finding
itself unable to do. Sixty-two Sen
ators signed their names to the
thing.
But 1t didn't make q hit with
the White House. The President
recognized it for what it was
a method Of putting him on the
fspot or. rather, on a large number
Of spots. He was to be made the
villain in the piece in the case
of every cut. If the veterans, for
instance, were hurt, the Senators
could sympathize with them and
explain 1t was all the Presidents
doing; that they had voted the
money and that the last place
they had expected the President
to chisel was in that particular
appropriation. The same as to the
farmers or anybody else feeling
|aggrieved.
Proposal Taken Apart.
Majority Leader Lucas has had
his hands full preventing action
on the resolution, in the face Of
pressure exerted by Senator Nc
Clellan and some others. Last
week Senator Hubert Humphrey
of Minnesota came to his aid with
a minority committee report, TAX
ing the Mcclellan proposal apart
and revealing some Of its impli-
cations.
The presumption Of the reso!u-
ton is that the President could
spread his 5 to 10 per cent over
the whole Of the estimated AZ
billAon-dollar budget. Senator
Humphreys analysis reveals that
the 5 to 10 per cent Of ~ billions,
or roughly two to four billions,
would have to come out Of items
totaling less than 18 billions. Most
Of the other money goes to meet
fixed charges. In other words, the
comfortable items would have TO
be cut an average Of II per cent.
In the light Of this analysis a
few Of the Senators who signed the
resolution now indicate a readi-
ness to change their minds. Sen
ator Lucas can only hope this dis
position becomes general.

His troubles with the $5,647,-

not the European countries had
