Deaths Of Two
Found in Calvert
Puzzle Probers
Murder or Hit-Run
Held Possible as
Inquiry Continues

Maryland authorities today con-
|tinued their investigation into the
mysterious deaths Of two men
found early yesterday on q high-
way near Prince Frederick in Cali
vert County, Md.
The investigators, admittedly
puzzled. were working on two pos.
sibilities:
az The men were victims of a
|hit-run driver, or (2) they were
murdered first, then placed on the
highway.
The victims, both coIored, were
Ellsworth johnson, 10. of Dowell.
Md, and Amos johnson. 20, of
Lusby, Md. They are cousins.
Found Opposite Tavern.
Their bodies were discovered
shortly after s am. yesterday at
the edge OF Maryland Route 2, di-
rectly opposite the Hi-Hat Club, a
tavern five, miles north Of Prince
Frederick. Both died from. skull
fractures.
According to DIR. Hugh w. Ward,
Calvert County medical examiner.
both victims suffered crushed
skulls but that was the extent of
their injuries. His report led po-
lice to the foul-play theory, al-
though DIR. Ward said it was pos
Sible the two men might have been
lstruck by a passing Car or truck.
For awhile. investigators be-
lieved they had the mystery
solved when they found a WASH
;Iington taxicab bearing blood stains
and fragments of human flesh on
the front of it.
Driver Tells Story.
The driver. however. said he
was riding behind a red tank truck
which hit something. He said
the truck swerved and SO did he.
He told police he did not hit any,
thing and did not stop because he
thought it was the blood of a dog
or pig.
} Police Immediately put out q
, lookout for the truck. The taxicab
was found about / pm. yesterday
at SolomonS Island. Police found
the driver and his wife out fishing
about two hours later.
The driver, said to be a former
District policeman, reported he
left home about 4 a IN. and arrived
at Solomons sometime before 6
am. He admitted passing through
the area where the two men were
found. 49,.
BloodstainS Match.
Police examined the bloodstains
and said they appeared to match
those found at the scene. Police
said they did not believe the cab
was responsible for the two deaths.
The murder theory also was ad-
vanced by relatives of the two
cousins. Both men. they said. had
attended a birthday party at the
tavern Thursday night and then
were believed to have been out
later with two girls. Carl Griffith.
the tavern proprietor. said they
left there about midnight.

Virginia Tech Institute
Hears U. 5. Criticized
For Farm Policies
BY the Asseciosed Press

BLACKSBURG. Va, Aug. O.
Federal activity in agriculture got
a double-barreled blast here at the
closing session of the Institute OF
Rural Affairs at Virginia Tech last
night.
DR.. E. G.. Nourse, former eco
nomic adviser to President Tu-
man, criticized what he called "a
new way of agricultural life which
depends on centralized decision
rather than individual free enter
prise, supply controls to enhance
prices, Federal subsidy to supple.
ment the farmers market in
come" .
State Senator A. E. S. Stephens
of Smithfield defended parity for
the farmer by comparing it to
tariff for industry. but warned
that parity is becoming a "politi-
cal football"
Praises Disaster Stand.
Senator Stephens cautioned
against Federal dominance in
agricultural fields and had a pat
on the back for the Virginia
Agricultural Mobilization Commit
tee for the stand it took in re-
fusing, for the present at least, to
declare Virginia a disaster area
and 'go running to Washington" |"
1T too often happens" Senator
Stephens said, that when a de-
partment is set up for a basic
fundamental service and does it
successfully, it Immediately looks
for new fields in which to work.
That's where the politician steps in.
The service rendered becomes one
of political expediency rather than
true promotion Of the purpose for
which it was originally set up.
THAT is what is happening to
virtually all fields of agricultural
policy today on the Federal level.
We must get away from class
legislation .. pitting one class
against the other. We must recog-
nize that man is sovereign, but
still owes his allegiance to a higher
being"
War Changed Agriculture.
DR.. Nourse. the afternoon
speaker. was chairman of the
Council of Economic Advisers in
the Presidents executive Offices
from 1916 to 1949. .....
In referring to his "new way of
agricultural life," he said this
new element" was introduced
into the American way of farm
life to meet an extraordinary
that grew out of the
conditions following World War
l." He continued:
However, it has been continued
in distorted form after the emer-
gency was passed. 1t has become
involved in politics and at times
degenerated to the point where
the country is beginning to regard
it as farmer racket"
DR.. NourSe derided both polit-
ical parties for their efforts to
win farm support by outpromis-
ing each other" He criticized
passage by Congress Of public law
585 which extends high and rigid
supports for another two years,
baking the attempt Of true
friends Of the farmer to modern
ize the parity formula"
