Anti-Subsersive Act
Is Backed by Lane as
Court Battle Nears
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS. Aug. 19.-Mary-
lands anti-subversive act, set for
a public vote in November, drew
the formaf support of Gov. Lane
today.
The top provisions of the So
called Ober Act include sections
which:
l. Make it a crime to belong to
a subversive group.
2. Require loyalty afhdavits
from public employees and candi-
dates for Office.
A legal battle appeared to be
shaping up over the requirement
that candidates sign the oath.
Two Refuse to Sign.
Two Progressive party members
who want to run for the House
of Delegates have refused to sign
the loyalty affidavit and the Bal
timore Board of Election super
visors rejected their filing GER
tificates.
The party said it will bring suit
for a court order requiring the
Baltimore election officials to &C
cept the applications of the two
candidates.
At Annapolis, the Office of the
secretary of state accepted the
candidates. of three Progressives
although they did not sign the
oath. But the Office said it die
SO only on the proviso that the
State law department approved
their nominations. The depart
ment has not yet acted on the
nominations.
Lane Explains Law.
Gov. Lane, announcing mis- sup
port of the Anti-subversive Ac-
tivities Act in the November ref
ierendum, said he was sorry con-
ditlons make such a law neces-

! Gov. Lane said the law, passed
by the 1949 Legislature and signed
by the Governor, was designed
ito deal, in conformity with demo-
cratic practices, with an insidious
conspiracy against the security of

The law headed for referen-

Representative Harrison. Demo-

it would.
Such rechecks could mean a
savings of considerable money dur

Representative Harrison cited
the case of Amherst County. That
county rechecked the preliminary
figures of the Census Bureau and
came up with some 1000 names
county officials believed were
missed by the census takers.

William E. Sandridge, Amherst

Clinical Center Along Public Health

are building the Public Health

now are at work on the sixth story

Rooms for the 500 patients will be

Chemical SferiIizers
From Association

The Maryland and Virginia Milk
Producers Association hopes to
have between SO and so new pro-
ducers in the Washington area by

of chemical sterilization for milk

An official of the producers CO.
operative said the group will not
accept as members any producer

andria who uses chemical sterili-
zers, despite the recent approval
of such methods by the District
Commissioners.
The association fought the pro-
posed change in local health reg
ulations allowing chemical sterili-
zation for the first time, as we'll as
the practice of steam sterilization.
Standards Are Cited.
"We see no reason why we
should deviate from steam sterili-
zation," an association spokesman
! commented. 1--WE don't want to
reduce our standards"
The District Health Department
made one concession to steam users
when it ruled that such methods
would be given IS points in rating
milk for shipment to Washington
as against 10 points for chemical
sterilization. 49,
The asSocia ton now has a
membership of 1,706, producers
who are shipping between 150,-

he mas invited several Washington
dairies to a meeting to discuss pos
sible formation of a distributors
association to deal with the pro-
ducers.

He said no time or place had
been set for the initial meeting
as he had not yet had time to
reach all distributors.
Mr.. Miller expressed the view
that all dairies ultimately would
join in an association because
only by a solid front at all milk
levels can it ever be hoped to es-
tablish reasonable price for re-
tail milk in Washington.
He added that "since the farm
