Mrs. Crane Sees Experience
As Lawyer Helpful in Judgeship
First Woman Named
As Trial Magistrate
In Prince Georges

Mrs. Nita S. Hinman Crane, who
is slated to become the first woman
trial magistrate in Prince Georges
County, is confident that her Is
years experience as a District
lawyer will serve her in good stead
in the new job.
Mrs. Cranes nomination as one
of the two trial magistrates for
the county was forwarded to the
State Senate this week by Gov.
McKeldin. State confirmation of
such local appointments under
the Maryland system Is usually a
matter of course.
Mrs. Crane, her husband, Col.
Joseph Spencer Crane, retired, and
sister live on a 14-acre place
too small to call farm and too
big to be a city lot''-about six
miles from Upper Marlboro. She
has confined her law practice to
the District since receiving her
law degree from National Univer-
sity here in 1926.
She said in an interview that
she feels she was appointed to the
bench because of the active part
she has taken In county Republi-
can politics since 1888. She de-
scribes herself as money getter''
for the party.
Asked for her views on the cur
rent Prince Georges police cam
paign against gambling and liquor
law violators. Mrs. Crane declared: !:
I'm not reformer - never
have been-but the law must be
upheld. If the police bring in the
evidence. the violators will be
punished according to the law.
I've been a lawyer for Is years
and know evidence when I
see it."
She added that she wanted
Prince Georges County "to be a
decent place to live in. It's really
the most wonderful county around
here but there are so many things
that need to be done"
Mrs. Crane, a native of Indiana,
intends to close her law Office at
416 Fifth street NV. within the
next two or three months. She
said she hated to leave Fifth
street. where she began her law
career with the firm of Emerson,
Kelly & Kelly, but she is sure she
will find the county bench equally
enjoyable.
AS trial magistrate, Mrs. Crane
will alternate each month be-
tween the police courts In Hyatts-
vile and Marlboro.
"Of course, I won't break off
my Washington connections en-
tirely," she added. II have too
many friends here among the at
torneys and in the Government
and Police Department."

GOVERNOR S Greenbaq
OF Patronage Filled
AT Very Last Minute
By the Assoeioied Press

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. a.. The
Governors "greenbag." a treasure
of patronage, wasn't filled until
the very last minute.
The greenbag actually is a type
written list of nominations to
hundreds of State and local posi-
tions, some important and many
mere sidelines for loyal party
workers. Gov. McKeldin sent it
down to the Senate for confirma-
ton Thursday.
It was the first big chunk of
patronage Republicans have en-
joyed since the late Gov. Nice sub
mitted his last greenbag in 1887.
Gov. McKeldin's Office had been
under siege of anxious job seekers
for 10 days. The pressure did not
subside until the nominations,
this time contained in a green
plastic chair cover, reached the
Senate rostrurn.
Last-minute changes were made
in both the State and county
groupings. Some were written in
so hurriedly that corrections did
not appear in lists released by the
executive Office and were dis
covered only yesterday,
A roster of justices of the peace
for Prince Georges County was
formed too late for the greenbag.
It was submitted yesterday.
These nominations were not
usly listed for Prince
Georges County:
Justices Of the peace designated
as committing magistrates-Mrs.
Helen M. Merrick and Percy Du-
vail, Upper Marlboro; Ellis C.
Day, Bowie; Warren w. James,

The two parakeets are being

Most Poultry Worker!
Continue Strike as a
Few Return 10 Jobs

A few truck drivers who carry
dressed chickens from the Del
marva Peninsula were back at
work today, but an estimated
! 500 warehouse workers and driv-
|ers continued their strike over
wages.
The strike has resulted in price
increases of 8 to 312 cents a pound
for broilers here. although Office
of Price Sterilization officials said
this apparently was contrary to
the price freeze.
While there were some signs
that the strike, which began Mon
day, was losing force, both sides
agreed there had been no settle
ment.
Violations Are Seen.
With fewer broilers reaching
the Enthusiastically New York
from the Delaware, Maryland and
Virginia producing area, prices
rose. In Washington poultry deal
ers said 2H2-pound broilers IN
creased 3 cents to a price of 81
cents; 3-pound chickens were SO
cents q pound, up 3la cents, and
|312-pound birds were 80 cents a
pound. an increase of 3 cents.
Price of live chickens was re-
lported generally unchanged, and
an OPS official said that under
such circumstances the price rise
to wholesalers appeared to be in
violation of regulations.
1t was explained that as long as
the farmers price is under parity
he may raise it, and only then
may it be passed on through the
various stages to the consumer.
One poultry dealer here said he
was forced to pay the higher prices
and the increase was passed On
while he maintained his markup
unchanged.

On Farm Land
Continued from Page -
Sharp Climb


The agriculture department meas
ures rural land values by a national
index. This index uses the years
1924 as the base period, with
prices at 100. In March of this
year the index stood at 1913, an all
time record high. This was Ia per
cent higher than a year earlier.
Market for rural acreage is strong
in every part of the country, accord
ing to federal reports. Prices have
risen most in the areas where farm
ers think they'll have the best
chance of making money out of till
ing the soil, usually with the aid of
federally-induced price-support pro-
grams.
In addition, farmers these days
are just about assured there will be
ready market for nearly every
thing they can produce in the fore
seeable future. The biggest demand
right now is for cotton, wool and
meats, but the outlook is also for
firm prices on most truck crops
fruits and vegetables.
