Tagging Farm Prices
Expected 10 Continue
BY the Asseeieted Press

Some Maryland farmers are
going to get continued lower
prices for their products the rest
Of this year. agricultural econ
omists at the University of Mary
land predicted yesterday.
The prices farmers pay for la
Dor and supplies also are ex-
pected to remain high.
The index Of prices received
by farmers dropped II per cent
between April Is last year and
the same date this year, the stat
isticians reported. The index OF
prices paid by farmers dropped
only 3.5 per cent during the same
time.
The decline in Maryland was
due mainly to a "a per cent drop
in the price Of beef cattle and q
per cent for calves. Other major
Maryland prices below last year
were milk. 8 per cent; corn. IA
per cent: wheat, IL per cent, and
potatoes. Is per cent.
Larger supplies and less ex.
ports were the principal causes
the university economists said.
Farmers selling hogs. eggs. ap-
Piles and soybeans are in posi-
ton to get higher prices because
supplies are less abundant. The
farm price Of hogs is up % pei

BIadensburg Council
Decides Unanimously
To Keep Police Force

The Bladensburg Council de-
cided unanimously last night to
retain it's police force.
The decision, which followed
an orderly discussion, was a sur
prise and a disappointment to
some Of the spectators, who went
to the meeting expecting a con-
tinuation of the heated debate
that led Mayor Otis L. Stevens
to adjourn the special meeting
Of the Council. abruptly two weeks
ago.
Month Of Uneasiness.
The issue which had kept the
citizens Of Bladensburg stirred
up for a month and had made
many of the town policemen
throughout Prince Georges
County uneasy about their jobs,
was raised at the May IA meeting
of the Council. At that time
representatives of several citi-
zens' associations in the town
argued that spending $18,50O of
the $57, 400 total town budget for
police protection seemed out of
line.
A proposal was made to dis
band the police department and
ask the Prince Georges County
force to provide protection for
the town. Mayor Stevens pro-
posed that the cost of county
police protection and the extent
Of county service be investigated
for consideration at a meeting
on May q. This question was
brought up at that meeting.
When tempers flared he halted
the meeting and announced the
special meeting for last night.
IL Give Views.
At last nights meeting, six
persons spoke for abandoning
the town police force, and six
others. including former mayor
OF the town, Vincent McCarron,
spoke for retaining the force.
After a discussion by the coun-
Gil. Councilman John P. Camp
bell introduced a motion for re-
tanning the police force and
promised that the force would
be the most efficient in the area.
The motion passed.
Policemen from several other
Prince Georges towns, as well as
Bladensburg. left the meeting in
the Bladensburg Fire House and
went back to work.

Conferees Seek
Prompt Repeal
Of Leave Rider
Compromise Bill
Sets 3d. Day Limit
On Accumulation

Final House and Senate ap-
proval will be sought. promptly
for a conference agreement lib
eralizing present rules for use
Of accumulated leave by Gov
ernment employees.
Adoption is predicted by va
rious sources, after House and
Senate conferees compromised
their differences over the much
debated issues raised by the
Thomas "use it or lose it" rider,
now in force.
The House and Senate man,
ayers recommend repeal Of the.
Thomas rider but would limit
terminal leave payments for un-
used leave to 80 days, except in
the cases Of employees who al
ready had earned more than that.
Choice Permitted.
Under the conference agree
ment, the Government workers
who have accumulated more than
80 days would be allowed to keep
it, use it or draw lump sum cash
payments for it when they are
separated from the service.
But employees who had not yet
accumulated 80 days leave could
not save more than that.
Exceptions would be made for
certain overseas employees, who
would be allowed to accumulate
up to IS days.
Adoption of the conference re-
port would ease the headaches
for employees, since the June 80
deadline on use of 1852 annual
leave would be extended to De-
cember 81.
Solves Vacation Problems.
It also would lessen the vaca-
ton problems Of the newer en-
ployes since. with repeal Of the
Thomas rider. they would not be
required to take annual leave
earned last year before July /.
While employees who had
earned more than 30 days Of &C
cumulated leave could hold onto
it. they would not be allowed
to increase the backlog over 80
days, once they had got it below
this level.
Leave is earned at the rate of
13 to 26 days a year, depending
on length of service.
Senate Points Retained.
The conference report carries
out some Of the major objectives
of the Senate version of the bill,
adopted at the beheSt Of Chair
man Carlson Of the Senate Post
Office Committee.
The original House bill would
have prevented top-flight Gov
ernment executives from draw
ing lump-sum. terminal leave
payments on separation.
The Senate, generally adopting
that view, added the repeal of
the Thomas rider and substi-
tuted modified restraints on the
stacking up of unused leave by
the rank and file worker.
The first Senate version would
have allowed the accumulation
of so days of unused leave and
80 days for certain overseas en-
ployes. In conference, the Sem
ate managers agreed to cut those
maXimumS in half.

Hyottsville Mayor
Cites Expenditure to
Relieve Situation

Citizens Of West HyattSville.
Md, will continue their search
for effective storm drainage in
their neighborhood at a meeting
Friday with officials of the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission.
HyattSville Mayor Jesse Bag
gett. at last nights city council
meeting, invited three represen-
tatives Of the complainants to
meet with him and commission
officials at 10:30 am. Friday.
Some SIS residents appeared at
the request Of the Mayor to ex-
plain q letter they sent to Rep
resentative Small, Republican, OF
Maryland several weeks ago. The
letter, signed by George w
Webb and about 147 residents
complained that the city had
made no attempt to lessen storm
drainage problems, even afte,
remedial promises were made.
3 Statement Challenged.
The Mayor and council took
sharp issue with Mr.. Webb and
his neighbors. Mayor Baggett
explained that he and council
men had done everything in their
power. at the cost Of $35,O0O, to
alleviate flood conditions in the
neighborhood-a problem for
decades.
The mayor said council ap-
peals to the sanitary commits
sion repeatedly were refused be-
cause the commission said II
could not afford the sewer prof.
ect.
After much persuasion by the
mayor and council, Mr.. Baggett
said, the commission finally
agreed to install the sewers only
if the city would contribute $685.
600 toward costs. This was done
ast.year.
Mr.. Webb then altered the
statement he put in the letter
saying he realized money had
been spent but he didn't see what
good it had done.
Mud Damage Cited.
The letter to Mr.. Small COM
planned that debris and mud
were being washed down James
town road to Thirty-first and
Thirtieth avenues. damaging
lawns. streets and Easements
The residents cited construction
on the Woodmanor housing de-
velopment as the source of the
trouble.
Mayor Baggett explained the
developer will surface roads
which will eliminate mud and
debris. as soon as water mains
are connected.
This explanation was backed
up by the reading of a letter
from Harry Shaw. chief engineer
of the sanitary commission, to
Mr.. Small.
May Ask Law.
Residents indicated they will
try to induce members of the
Maryland Legislature to pass
legislation requiring that build
ers be bonded to pay for any
damage they might do to other
property during construction
programs.
In other business, the council
adopted a 1921 500 budget for

Council.
Mrs. Cam pointed out that now
adays parents are urged to take an
active interest in the children's
games and lessons, to practice
their dancing with them. to ioin
them in other activities.
so why not practice safety with
the children, too?" she asked. She
proposed that parents make safe
practices a habit in the home and
more particularly in traffic. It is
not always necessary to tell the
child to look both ways before
crossing the street, she said. The
parent who obviously looks both
ways is setting an example the
child cannot fail to observe
Children look up to their par-
ents,' she said, "and they take as
much pride in initiating the careful
parent as they do in initiating the
daring and careless one"
Mrs. Cam also urged parents not
to fear indulging in old-fashioned

sary.
