Tobacco Sales
Open Tomorrow
In Maryland
Prices Moy Shape
Farmers Decision
On Crop Controls
By J. [. MichoeI

southern Maryland tobacco
auctions will open tomorrow for a
14-week season which may help
farmers decide the controversial
acreage control issue.
First offering of last years 43-
million-pound crop, second larg-
est in more than three centuries,
was lined up in long rows today
on the floors of nine warehouses
in Charles, Prince Georges and
Anne Arundel Counties.
Bidding will begin at $50 am.
tomorrow at three markets at Up
per Marlboro, three in Hughes
vile, one in La Plata, one in Wal
dorf and one at Wayson's Corner.
Baltimore Starts Thursday.
The Baltimore Hogshead Mar
ket, which receives tobacco
throughout the year, will start it's
sales season Thursday. Most
warehouses will start sales with
floors filled to near capacity. At
others initial offerings will be
light because their operators ad-
vised growers to keep their leaf
at home until "Shakedown" days
had passed.
Each opening day sees a tug
of war between buyers and tense
farmers whose years labor is at
stake.
Tomorrow's auction will begin
without Federal price support.
which has been in effect in Mary
land for the last three years. Gov
ernment experts, however. will
classify the 81 grades of Type 80
tobacco as they have done since
1948.
Price floors for this and next
years sales season were withdrawn
when farmers voted against
acreage quotas in 1850 and last
year. They will vote again in
December to decide the issue for
the 1854 sales season.
Tobacco men differ as to the
quality Of the 1851 crop. Some
describe it as thin and free-burn-
ing, with exceptional color and
aroma. They predict 1t will bring
a higher average than last years
48 cents a pound.
Others say the percentage of
lower grades is high and that in
general the crop is ordinary"
A tour of the warehouses yes
terday indicated that the correct
appraisal is between the two
claims. Tobacco now on the floor
appeared better than that sold on
opening day last year, but there
is a substantial amount of grades
the trade calls common"
Poorer Grades First.
Warehousemen point out, how
ever, that farmers usually bring
their poorest tobacco first and
hold the better grades until the
market is moving on an even keel.
Common grades, those that have
been supported at around IA cents
and those that have sold without
support at about IL cents, pose
the big problem.
For the last three. years the
Government has taken over the
bulk of these types. What will
happen now that Federal loans
are not available is Southern
Maryland's biggest question.

the Republican State Committee

Mr.. Mclaughlin: The. Repub-
lican State Committee has tradi-
tionally been controlled by a small
group who have maintained their
control largely by the inconspicu-
business of their handling of party
affairs. The effectiveness of their
methods is demonstrated by the
fact that heretofore very few Of
the residents have even been
aware Of their right to vote in the
selection Of convention delegates.
Inadequate publicity and other
restrictive measures have resulted
in a substantial denial of this sole
franchise Of District Republicans.
The purpose Of the Eisenhower
Club is to secure q full and fair
opportunity for Republican resi-
dents Of the District to express
their preference in the selection
of the Republican candidate for
the Presidency. It has not been
the purpose of the Eisenhower
group to win individual seats On
the State Committee. Present
Committee control. however, mega
tives any expression of preference
by the electorate. The Eisenhow-
er Club is forced by the commit
tees position to run its own,
EiSenhower-pledged candidate in
each precinct to offer the voters
the opportunity to make a choice.

Mr.. Mclaughlin: We have rea-

has refused to set up normal safe
guards which would insure an

primary. It has shown partiality

10 govern the Republican primary

Mr.. Laughlin: The Eisenhower
group has sponsored legislation to
set up lawfully-regulated primary
elections in the District. This
legislation has been supported by
all elements of the community ex-
cept the Republican State Com
mittee. The committee has ac-
lively opposed its approval before
Congress this year, as it has when
the same legislation was under
consideration in the past. The
legislation which would
place under official regu-
lation the rights to which resi-
dents are already entitled, would
be good for the community. The
Eisenhower Club will continue to
support its approval by the
Congress.

would have the right to vote for
either Senator Taft or Gen.
Eisenhower, as appears best. This
is in accordance with long-estab-
lished practice here and is a policy
of wisdom adhered to in many of
the principal States.
2. Does the contest within tn
have any bearing on the chanc
November?
Mr.. McGarraghy: The Repub-
lican State Committee believes
that to win in November will re-
Iquire strong organization through
out the country. Also, in the
District, we must work year in and
year out, raising funds and
Operating an absentee voters
bureau. This requires organiza- =
ton based upon loyalty to party.
It is a short-sighted and thought
less policy to tear down all that
has been built up over the years
merely to achieve an instructed
delegation for any candidate.
3. Does the present Republi
nomination of Senator Taft?
Mr.. McGarraghy: We have
never polled the Republican State
Committee to determine for whom
a majority stand. nor do we know.
We believe there are many mem
bers who favor the nomination of
Gen, Eisenhower. We believe
many members favor the nomina-
ton of Senator Taft. We believe
there are some members who
favor the nomination of other
candidates or potential candidates.
Since the State Committee is an
whose primary job isl
to help elect the nominated
candidate, and since there is sub
Stantial support among the mem
bers of the State Committee for
each of the leading candidates, the
officers of the State Committee
should maintain a position of
complete neutrality. This they
have insisted upon doing, even to
the point of submitting to mis-
representation of their views with
respect to both candidates. with
out attempting correction, which
would be done only by abandoning
their position of neutrality.

here?
Mr.. McGarraghy: We would
favor a proper, workable law,
passed by the Congress after
mature study and consideration
on a completely nonpartisan basis.
We believe that the original
Neely-Duff bill furnished a proper
basis for such a law, but had many
imperfections. The latest Neely-
Duff bill, while correcting some of
the defects in the original bill,
includes some new ideas which
require careful study of their
implications. We will be glad to
see appropriate legislation passed
providing for election machinery
established by law. But we be-
lieve it has been demonstrated
that such legislation cannot be
satisfactory if it is considered
under pressure.
D. SnOul0 the membership of
be replaced at this time?
Mr.. McGarraghy: The present
Republican leadership for the
District of Columbia has served
the party over many years and
achieved an outstanding record.
1t would be foolish to replace it
by others, some of whom have
been reckless in their attitudes
and many of whom have not been
identified with any Republican
activities in the past, either as
contributors Of time or money.

Mr.. Mclaughlin: The members

quires the election of a Repub-
lican President, and take the posi-
ton that Gen. Eisenhower is the

injury which threatende to sermi-
nate his active days.
But he is the kind of hitter who,
if he remains in the game to let
his career follow it's natural
course, may again hit some won
derfully high figure, even though
he can scarcely be expected ever
again to top 400 as he once did.
Baseball will miss the retired
Dimaggio next season as all great
players are missed and, if Williams
goes, will miss him tremendously
as we'll. They are 0 fthe pattern
which makes and sets a game

They had that something which,
aside from sheer mechanical skill,

He also undoubtedly will bring
to spring training all his vast
abilities, regardless of whether he
is destined to put a period to his
baseball career by a return to the
service.
The Red Sox will be just another
baseball club without him, If he
goes. It was his happy lot as a
ball player to be their big threat
at all times, whether ailing or IL
a slump or injured. He was the
one they walked to get to any
body.
Also standing as a reminder to
his great ability as a hitter was
the famed shift designed to put
all available defense against him,
originated by none other than his
current manager, Lou Doudreau.
The latter, about to start his
first season as pilot o fthe Red
Sox, pulled his men over toward
right field against Williams while
he was managing the Indians and
he found that it worked. Some of
the other managers did, too.
However, shift or no shift, when
Williams came up in a clutch the
chances we're that he would be
shooed to first base on a free pass
rather than risk his knocking the
ball over the roof.
To top it all, Williams became
the highest salaried played in the
game and still holds that position
to leave a mark for others to shoo1
at when he is gone, either be-
cause he is worn out or because
re-entry into the Marines will
bring him to his finish.
He has only a couple of more
years as a player at best and still
is plagued at times b ythe arm

NEW YORK, March 1. (INS)
Williams reveals from his
Florida fishing haunts that by
Monday he will be going at full
gait in training with the Boston
Red SHox.
The lanky outfielder and slug
ger will work out just as though
he expected to be with his team
through the season rather than as
a probable Marine Corps draftee
as of early May.
If he is accepted by the Ma
rines he can get in only about a
month of the coming campaign,
then will return to his old wartime
job as a flying instructor.
He was a superior flier by all
accounts, especially from men who
served him him, and a capable in
structor who did a job for his
Uncle Samuel with all the inten-
sity that he brings to clouting a
baseball like few other men have
ever done it.
