Turkeys Finance Minister
Makes Bid for u. S. Capital

The entrenched social systems.
the crusty restrictive patterns
which have discouraged invest
ors in many Western European
countries are no problem in Tur-
key.
For its part, the government is
taking the natural advantages
and improving on them. Mr..
Polatkan points out that a major
part Of American economic aid
since the war has gone for public
works that pave the way for the
businessman-better roads and
railroads. power projects and
port facilities. Gradually the
greatest hurdle of an undevel-
oped country have been over
come.
Foreign Capital Needed.
The minister makes no bones
of the fact that Turkey hopes to
profit from the flow of foreign
capital. Indeed, it must come,
if Turkey is to continue to play
its part as the most stable and
potent ally of the United States
in the Middle East.
He realizes also that there are
some drawbacks to investment in
a country which is so far from
major markets, where people are
scarce and illiteracy is high.
But he has been impressed in
his visit with the spirit of enter
prise and energy that he has
found here-enough to encour-
age the hope that the American
businessman may find in Tur-
key a new horizon of limitless
opportunity.

Arab Visas Come First.
To travel in both Arab coun-

sive detours and back-tracking,
Nancy and Phyllis advise tour
lists to obtain all. visas for Arab
countries first. Then apply at
the Israeli consulate in New
York for a special visa which
can be picked up at Jerusalem's
Mandelbaum Gate instead of
stamped in the passport. Arab
countries still will not accept
tourists who have Israeli visas
written in their passports be-
cause they do not recognize
Israel.

Public Welfare Asks
Increase In Budget
Wants 1873 Per Cent More
In State Money for
Next Year

Maryland's public welfare de-
partment has asked for an 1873 per
cent increase in its budget for next
year.
If it should get the money, it
would increase the monthly grants
it pays out to dependent children,
the disabled, and the destitute.
1t also would greatly expand its
staff charged with the control of
juvenile delinquency.
The department asked 1860, 1873
in state funds for the fiscal year
which starts next July /, compared
with $1,000, POS in its current budg-
ct. The higher figure, coupled
with federal funds, would give it
$22, 098,O0O to spend in fiscal 1865
The various departments of the
state government now are in the
process of submitting their annual
requests to James G.. Rennie, di-
rector of budget and procurement.
After he screens them. they go on
to Gov. McKeldin. The governor
approves or trims them as he sees
fit and will pass them ON to the
General Assembly for final action
next February.
The addition of 81 employees, pro-
posed by the welfare department,
would take up a big slice Of the Is
per cent increase it is asking.
1t would like, for example, to
double the staff at the states four
state schools for juvenile delin-
quentS.
The department proposed in
creasing the average monthly grant
for dependent children from $23.S2
to $2412. The disabled would get
S52.O3 instead of $50.96, ON the
average. The average payment for
those getting public assistance
would go to $54.O4 from $53.O2.
The department said these in
creascs are attributed to higher
living costs and an unexpected in
crease in the number Of needy.
The department asked $2,17I257

cent of the dairy cattle in the
county are bred artificially. Gar
rett County, under the leadership
of Mr.. Carter, was the first in the
State to organize a calf show con-
sisting entirely Of animals sired
artificially.
Some of this interest in herd inn
provement undoubtedly came from
Mr.. Carriers early work with CO.
operative bull ring which main
tanned seven Jersey bulls from the
Bcltsvillc Experiment Stations.
In 1929 the pasture cages which
were used to demonstrate improved
pasture production methods were
familiar sight in the Garrett
countryside. These cages were
used first to demonstrate the value
of lime and PHOSPHORUS ON pas
tuc~ and were used later as other
improved methods were being
tested Nh Carter feels that the
forage and pasture Improvement
programs have been basic to the
advances they have known in the
dairy and live stock enterprises of
the county
A development which has come
along i'm recent years has been the
production of cool weather vege-
table crops such as cauliflowcr,
spinach, cabbage and broccoli. This
work, undertaken comparatively
with growers, the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, and other interested
people is still in the developmental
stages but over 325 acres of such
crops were grown in 1858. Many
of the growers are enthusiastic
about the future of these crops and
feel that they may offer an i'm
portaut sideInc income for many
farmers.

The bidding:
North East South West
diam'd Pass spade Pass
3 diam'ds Pass 3 spades Pass
4spades Pass hearts Pass
6clubs Pass 6 spades All pass
The situation was clarified
when Mr.. Masters raised the
three spade rebid to four. Mr..
Champions bid of five hearts
was a one-bid, showing an ace.
If he had held a real heart suit
he would have bid it over his
partners three diamond bid.
When Mr.. Masters now bid six
clubs. he, too, was showing an
ace. And, since this cue-bid auto
matically put the hand in six,
1t was at least suggestive of a
grand slam. But, still wary of
his lack of fit in diamonds, Mr..
Champion decided to be salts
fed with small slam. If he
had held the queen of diamonds,
he probably would have gone all
the way.
Mr.. Abel opened the king of
clubs and dummy's lone ace won.
Mr.. Champion figured that if
either spades or diamonds were
divided 5-1, he was going set.
But if both suits broke no worse
than Az. he had a good chance.
He cashed dummy'S ace and
king of diamonds, getting rid of
a club. Next he led a small
diamond and Mrs. Keen played
the ten. Mr.. Champion did not
get overanxious and ruff this
trick. If he had. he would not
have won II tricks. Instead, he
discarded another club.
At this point no lead will de-
feat the contract. Actually Mrs.
Keen returned a heart. Mr..
Masters won with the ace and
went to dummy with the queen
Of spades. He led another dia-
mond and ruffed it. Finally, he
pulled trumps, playing small
hearts from the board. The king
of hearts was then an entry and
the balance of the dummy was
