much disagree.
In effect, he told the Mayor and
Council that a tax increase would re-
suit in a practical shutdown of
building within the city limits, or, to
use his exact words, IAN increased
tax rate would result in putting
stone wall around Hagerstown."
Mr. Cohen also pointed out that
private corporations borrow money
to expand their capital facilities, but
he failed to mention that private
corporations, in their budgets, also
set up large amounts to be reserved
for expansion purposes. Nor did he
seem to realize that the City of Ha-
gerstown, not only has never set
aside money for future expansion,
but must also get permission from
the voters, through referendum,
before it can borrow large sums
The Mayor and Council met with
other department heads last night
and they will continue to meet this
week, in an effort to get the proposed
budget figures into something like
final shape, so that they will know
how they will stack up with the an
ticipated revenue for 81
Needless to say, they cannot set a
tax rate for next year, until these
facts are in their hands.

COst-Price Squeeze
To Continue In 1854

Maryland farmers will continue to

squeeze during 1854. That is the pre-

Economics at the University of Mary

intensity significantly in 1854, farm
cost rates are expected to remain
about the same as they are at the

Along The Potomac
from your Congressman
Dewitt S. Hyde

In every one of the six countries
in our Congressional District, l have
found the people generally satisfied
with the Administrations handling
of national problems, while at the
same time they are greatly concern
ed with local issues.
This was the outstanding impress
sion / gained on my tour of the Dis
trict just completed l spent day
and night talking with citizens in
many towns and farm areas to find
out what they think of current polit-
ical problems.
In Allegany County, unemploy-
ment continues to be critical. The
cut in operations by the Celanese
Corporation of America and the in
creasingly mined OUT coal deposits
are the big factors. There and else
where, new property tax assessments,
based on the high property values
which exist after a seven-year in
flationary spiral, are big bones of
contention. In Brunswick there is
distress because rail conversion from
steam to diesel has cost some jobs.
On national matters, attitudes
ranged from general satisfaction to
'1et's wait and see," with every
body having keen eye on what
President Eisenhower will come up
with next year in the way of a
sound program and what intelli-
gence Congress will exercise in act
ing on it.
Some peolpe said the Administra-
ton is too slow about replacing job
holders with persons more sympa-
thetic to Administration policies.
Scheduled federal tax cuts seem sat
isfactory to most voters, though
many small businessmen are fearful
of declining profits unless relief is
given on contain luxury taxes and
movie admissions taxes.
A Garrett County cattle farmer
found silver lining in the cloud of
declining prices. He said he still
gets "a fair price if he puts good
cattle on the market, accenting the
words Fair" and Good" as he said
them. He declared that many farm
ers realize that the three-year de-
cline of prices can have the good
effect of driving what he called spec
ulators and fly-by-nighters out of
the business.
I found myself at loss, however,
to explain one important part of the
criticism being made Of the national
Administration. Many voters want
to know why Administration leaders
complain of their inability to bal
ance the federal budget and stop
going into debt and at the same time
keep up a large and expensive for
eign economic aid program.
They want to know why we don't
say, in as neighborly way as pos
slble, that we can't afford any more
foreign aid for the time being.
People point out to me that if their
annual income is $4,000, and their,
minimum expense for family support
is $4,000, they can't very well lend
close relative $4,000, no matter how
dire his need might be. This is one
issue in which voters are complain
ing that the Administration ignores
the mandate of the 1852 election.

Britain Faces Threat
OF Shortage Of Fish
BY the Assoeioted Press

LONDON. Jan. 21.-Food-
short Britain today faced a new
threat to one of its favorite items
of diet-fish. The Russians say
they are going to ban British
fishermen from nine-mile belt
of Soviet coastal waters in the
BarentS Sea area.
These waters are a prime haunt
of plaice and haddock, both pop
ular fish in Britain. The ban is
expected to hit the British fish
supply line hard.
The threat was announced yes
terday by foreign Office spokes-
man, who said the Soviets have
denounced a 23-year-old fishing
treaty permitting British trawlers
to operate within three miles of
the Soviet Barents Sea coast.
This sea. an arm of the Artic
Ocean. lies north of European
Russia, Finland and Norway.
The Russians. who now claim
their territorial waters extend out
II miles from the shoreline.
served notice they intend to end
the 1880 pact in June, the
spokesman said.

Surrender Demands
Again Rejected by
Rioting Convicts
By the A..eeiuted Press

BELLEFONTE, Pa, Jan. al
Shouting defiance, 325 re-
belliouS convicts again Spurned
surrender ultimatums today in
their barricaded cellblock at the
Rockview State Penitentiary and
refused to release six guards
held as hostages until their
"gripes" are honored.
1t was the third day of their
surprise insurrection. Last night
400 of Rockview's prisoners
capitulated to demand by Gov.
John S. Fine, who warned that
additional Jail sentences would
be given to every man who con-
tinues to defy authority.
The newest rejection of the
States efforts to bring peace to
the prison came in a yelling ex-
change between Deputy Attor-
ney General Edward Friedman,
standing on the ground outside
Cell Block A and the convict
leader who peered out barred
windows 80 feet above.
Hostages OK, They Say.
Mr.. Friedman sought to nego-
tiate surrender of the convict
rebels who launched the rioting
Monday night. During the riot
ing hundreds of mattresses have
been burned and plumbing and
other fixtures have been ripped
off walls and thrown out cell
windows.
Mr.. Friedman said the convicts
must first release the hostages
and throw out seven guns before
a settlement would be discussed.
At the same time. the first
direct word came from the hos
tageS who have been held in the
barricaded cell block A since the
riot broke out. BY permission
OF the convicts, Melvin Williams,
one of the guards, came to a
window and said:
Tell them (the families) we
are well treated. We are okay.
No one has forced me to say
anything. Come to a decision
and give these men a fair hear
ing"
Mr.. Friedman told the pris-
oners: You have chance now
for complete hearing of your
gripes. Release those guards and
throw out the guns" !
IL Demands Made.
How about our IL demands"
oe shouted back. referring to
the convicts' complaints. among
other things. about prison food
and the States parole system. |
Mr.. Friedman said he couldn't
go into that now.
If you have no authority to
answer questions you have no
authority to make a settlement,
one OF the convictS replied.
The prisoners who gave in last
night to Gov. Fines ultimatum
make UP the convicts in two
other cellblocks who joined the
riot after the first outbreak.
They held no hostages and were
not armed.
These men received assurances
they would be represented by a
five-man committee of prisoners
in a grievance session with State
authorities.
Officials ordered sandwiches
and coffee brought in. marking
the first meal for the rebel pris-
onerS in "a hours.
