WESTMINSTER, Md, June g.
Maryland grain producers should
have no storage problems this
year under normal harvest condi-
tions, it was brought out here
yesterday at meeting sponsored
by the University of Maryland.
Adam Kellar, representing the
Western Maryland Railway Co.,
said his railroad would have about
a million -bushel storage capacity
in Baltimore. He said he pre-
sumed the other roads would have
equal storage space available.
During the last two years some
producers hav~ had difficulty be-
cause of a lack of storage space
at the Baltimore terminal. Small
grain must be stored in order to
come under the Government sup
port price quota. It was feared
in the last two years that many
producers might lose through theil
inability to store the grain.

Fred A. Gosnell -
s Soon after its adoption in No
sgember, the ordinance setting up

The suit against the ordinance
was brought by John Locke Green,
scounty treasurer, and Denman T

Play Chief \
And ; Assistants

The director and staff Of the
Prince Georges County Recreation
Department, which is doomed to
die in a blaze of turmoil the end
of this month, are going to work
for the Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commission.
Temple r. farrell. the director,
and his two fun-time and one
part time assistants will conduct
an eight week, stopgap play
ground program this summer, be-
ginning June Is. The program was
authorized by the planning COM
mission, after the county commits
sioners cut the recreation depart
ment from the 1852 budget, taking
effect July /.
Mr.. FARRELL will be paid $125 a
week, the same salary he has re-
ceived as director of the county
program since its inception in
1949. His three assistants-Mrs
Ellen Linson and Mrs. Priscilla
Urner, full time, and Mrs. Mildred
Reed, part-time-also will receive
the same salaries as before.
Mr.. Jarrell's $6,500 annual sal
airy played a part in discussions
leading to the commissioners de-
cision to eliminate the recreation
program as the least essential ot
all county activities. The commits
sioners viewed that salary as being
out of line with other county sal.
aries, such as the $4,000 a veal
paid to the States attorney.
Mr.. FARRELL argued, however
that most county officials are abl'
to supplement their income
through other outside but alice
activities, such as real estate ant
law. He said he had to devote full
time to his job.

asked a $4,000 appropriation TO
