known if he referred to the filing
of the decree in a technical sense.
Chief Judge w. Connell Smith,
before whom the mandamus &C
ton was to come, said he was
advised he could pass the hearing
because the State would submit
a consent decree this week.
The State previously had con-
tended that required facilities for
engineering students were pro-
vided at Maryland State College
at Princess Anne, the Negro
branch of the University.
The Supreme Court recently
held that States must offer equal
facilities for Negroes or admit

Urged as Arbiter
On School Speakers

The Federation of Civic Associ-
ations contends that the superin-
tendent of schools should check
with the Justice Department in
stead of the House Un-American
Activities Committee before can
ceiling the speech of any person
on loyalty grounds.
This was brought out yesterday
when the Federation sent letter
to the Board of Education, OBJ
jecting to the cancellation of an
address by Author Pearl Buck.
Name Reported in Files.
Scheduled last week at the Car
dozo High School commencement,
the speech was called off by
School Supt. Hobart M. Corning
when the House committee re-
ported her name appeared in its
files. in response to his query.
In its letter the Federation
stated:
1--WE believe the School Board
should, like numerous other boards
in the country, permit the estab-
lishment of an administrative
board of review, clothed with suf-
flcient authority and responsibility
to pass upon the eligibility OF
speakers.
I'm the absence of at least this
type Of delegated authority, and
it Is considered wholly imperative
to secure the guidance of a Gov
ernment agency or Instrumental
ity, the Justice Department should
be considered the official protector
Of our liberties and our security
Expects Check by Board.
Therefore, we would expect
our Board of Education to check
with the Justice Department for
information concerning a speaker
about whom there might be ques-
ton, assuming that it would re-
fuse to establish an administrative
board of review"
Although critical of the action
the Federation said it realized
"the need for review of requests
for speakers" and the Importance
of national security"
The Federation concluded the
letter by stating it is the respon-
sibility of the Board of Education
to select the speakers and that
the responsibility was not accept
ed in the case of Mrs. Buck.

Battle Calls for Report
From Commission on
Milk Price Increase

Gov. Battle Of Virginia has
asked for report from the State
Milk Commission on it's ordering
an unrequested price increase for
the Washington area.
His action was taken on request
OF the Arlington members Of the
General Assembly who. mean
while, indicated the commission
would be in for tougher Shedding"
at future legislative sessions.
So far, Gov. Battle has received
a memorandum from the commits
sion on its order which raised the
price of milk by one half cent a
quart to 2212 cents in the Arling-
ton Alexandria market.
No Promise Of Action.
This resulted in similar in
crease in Washington and in sub
urban Maryland. as customary.
But the price rise quickly spread
to Baltimore where a distributor
producer representative there laid
the cause directly to the action by
the Virginia Milk Commission.
Gov. Battle said he merely wants
to look into it," and made no
promise of action on the price
order.
Gov. Battle commented that the
commission has broad powers
given it by the General Assembly.
While he has the authority to ap-
point members. he said the oues-
tlon OF his removing members has
not been even contemplated in
connection with the present COM
plant.
Democrats Call for Action.
State Senator Charles r. Fen
wick and Delegates j. Maynard
Magruder and George Damn, all
Democrats, of Arlington had writ
ten the Governor asking him to
review the action Of the commits
sion.
Attacks on the Milk Commission
at last years session Of the Gen.
eral Assembly received the sup
port of the Arlington delegation,
but at least two bills-one to
abolish the commission and an
other to eliminate it's price-dxing
powers-were killed in committee.
The recent action of the COM
mission is incomprehensible to
me-" Mr.. Magruder said today.
This action has not changed any
opposition I had in the past, as
far as its price-flxing powers are
concerned"
Mr.. Damn also struck out at
the price-flxing authority and
concurred with Mr.. Magruder in
the opinion that sanitary regula-
tions for the milk industry prob
ably could be adequately enforced
through existing health laws.

Reapportioniing
May Lump Two
Nearby Counties
New Seventh District
Would Be Montgomery
And Prince Georges
By J. B. Zutmon
Stor SioH Correspopdent

ANNAPOLIS. Md, Jan. 30
Legislation to reshuffle Maryland's
six congressional districts into
seven, with Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties lumped
together in one district, is being
drafted by Montgomery Repub-
lican Delegate Anders r. Lof-
strand, jr.
Results of the last census en-
title the State to a new Repre-
sentative. Mr.. Lofstrand's pro-
posal is the first concrete step
toward accomplishing this.
The last time a revision was
made in congressional boundaries
was IN 1901. when Cecil County
was taken from the I'd district
and placed in the 1st.
Lineup Under Proposal.
Under Mr.. Lofstrand's plan, the
Montgomery-Prince Georges dis
trict would be carved out of the
9th district, to which Montgomery
now belongs, and the 5th, which
includes Prince Georges County.
The six other districts would be
composed of:
l. Frederick, Allegany, Garrett,
Washington. Carroll and Howard
Counties. The first four now are
In the 9th district, while Carroll
is in the I'd and Howard is in
the 5th.
2. Baltimore, Cecil. Hartford and
Kent Counties. Baltimore and
Hartford Counties now are part of
the I'd district and Cecil and Kent
on the Eastern Shore are in the
1st district.
3. The four Southern Maryland
counties Of Anne Arundel, Calvert,
Charles and st. Marys, together
with the rest Of the Eastern Shore
counties. At present, all of South
ern Maryland is in the 5th dis
trict and the Eastern Shore coun-
ties comprise the 1st district.
4, S and 6. Baltimore City. The
States largest city now is in the
Sd and 4th districts, with parts OF
1t in the I'd and 5th districts.
About $4,000 in Each.
Mr.. Lofstrand said his proposal
is fair from economic. geographl-
cal and population standpoints.
Each of the seven new districts
would have a population of about
$4,000, he explained.
He added the plan to join Mont
gomery and Prince Georges Coun-
ties has the approval of the lat
ter's State Senator, John R.
Fletcher, Republican.
Such a move is logical, he con-
tended, because both counties now
adjoin Washington and are vital
ly affected by the Governments
program.
In addition. he pointed out they
are served by the same bi-county
commissions. have the same water
and sewer lines and have similar
problems arising out Of the influx
Of new residents.
The powerful 36-member Balti-
more City delegation is expected
to go along with the bill, Mr.. Lof-
strand asserted. because the city
has consistently wanted to be di-
vorced from the counties as far as
representation in Congress is con-
cerned.

Concerns Here
Warned 10 Keer
Price Records
Must Be Available
For Examination by
StubiIizer's Stuff

The Districts price Stabilizel
warned Washington businessmen
today to take careful note" of the
sales and cost records they must
keep under the price control law
Acting Price Director Vincent A
Holmes pointed out that the law
requires business establishments
to keep price records available for
examination by his staff. He ad-
vised them to obtain copies of
the regulations.
Mr.. Holmes warning came as
his small organization was spend
ing its second day receiving tele-
phone inquiries and getting Or
ganized for the enforcement job
ahead.
Fewer than SO telephone calls
were received at the 80 Sixth
street NV. office up to midday
today, and only about 20 individ-
uals braved bad weather to drop
by in person.
There were no new complaints
of price violations, a spokesman
said. There were three yesterday
One involved meat, another hair
cuts and a third hardware. The
office urged that complaints be
submitted in writing.
The Office had about 100 tele-
phone inquiries and about 40 call
ers yesterday. A good proportion of
the callers, both yesterday and this
morning, left applications for jobs.
Concern about a squeeze" be-
tween wholesale and retail price
ceilings was evident in many calls
from retailers, spokesman said.
There was much interest in the
announcement of a forthcoming
profit-margin formula to be issued
by National Stabilizer Di Sale,
which national officials said will
ease this squeeze"
Record for Two Periods.
In his warning on records, Mr..
Holmes pointed out that both cur
rent prices and those charged
during the price-control base Pc
riod of DECEMBER 10 through jan
uary IS must be kept available by
businesses.
Certain price statements must
be prepared under the law before
March l, the price director en-
phasized. Also required are "suf-
f1cient records to establish the
latest net cost incurred by the
business establishment prior to
the end of the base period" in
purchasing commodities. he said.
No interpretations Yet.
Mr.. Holmes emphasized the
Office is not yet authorized to give
any interpretations of the freeze
order. That will come from the
national Office.
Meanwhile, officials are COM
piling a list of frequently asked
questions and preparing to publish
the answers in a convenient form
as quickly as possible.
An official also explained that,
for the time being, nearby Mary
land residents will deal through a
district Office at 3706 N. Charles
street, Baltimore, and Virginians
through a regional Office at 900
Lombardy street, Richmond.
Baltimore Office Set Up.
Hugo r. Hoffman, acting head
of the district Office in Baltimore,
set up shop yesterday with plea
for public cooperation and a
warning to chislers.
The Maryland price director
outlined plans for branch Offices
in every county and several in the
larger cities, with about 90 inves-
tigators to enforce price ceilings.
He said his Office will operate on
a friendly basis at first, then God
help the first man to go wrong"

picture outlining the objectives
of the Cub Scout program, c. G.
Westmoreland, chairman of the
Rotary's Cub Scouting commit.
tee announced today.
Clubbing, a program of the Boy
Scouts OF America, has not been
active in Tabor City. Some time
ago a group of local citizenry met
and discussed the program for
the younger boys and the Tabor
City Rotary club voted to spon-
sor the organization. A commit
tee appointed at the time includ-
ing Westmoreland, r. B. Mallard,
S. L. Jackson, S. P. Smith and
P. C. CAN'T has worked out the
details for formation of the cub
scout packs.
The meetings will all be held
at the Mt. Tabor Baptist church
at 800 and all parents of boys
are invited to attend. The pro
gram actually is for boys 8, G
and 10 years old but other par
ents with younger boys are asked
to make a special effort to get
acquainted with the detectives of
the organization during this ser
les o. meetings.
The committee spokesman
pointed out this week that it has
been proven that the most sue.
cessful packs are those in which
parents understand the obJec'
tives of the program. For that
reason every effort is being made
to acquaint parerls with the
fundamentals at this series Of
meetings. All meetings are plan
ned for parents, designed to be
entertaining and no extended lee
lures are scheduled.
The Cub Scout program gives
boys the following program:
Chances to play games, per.
form stunts, engage in handi'
crafts and hobbies in their back
yards, among other things 1t
gives them this opportunity
to perform with other boys their
own age and under leadership
of trained adults and Boy Scouts.
And it prepares him for entering
the Boy Scout program at the
