OF parts of Texas. Similar rains
fell on the parched farm and

Prince Georges County farm
ers turned yesterday from cloudy
skies that brought no rain back
to parched fields and dwindling
water supplies.
Rain now according to county
agriculture experts, will do little
to ease drought losses suffered
by county farmers.
Hardest hit are the livestock
farmers, who face dry pastures
and the resulting necessity of
using winter forage and grain
supplies
In many sections of the county
wells and streams are drying.
County Agriculture Agent P. E.
Clark estimated that a weeks
steady rain will be required to
bring springs and wells back and
to help the small grain crops
that have failed to germinate be-
cause of the dry weather.
Tobacco Crop Good.
Mr.. Clark reported that the
tobacco crop. the mainstay of
Prince Georges farmers, was
little injured by the drought. The
crop matured, he said, before the
dry conditions became severe
and the crop is good this year.
He said that in most cases the
corn Gro palso was about average
this season.
"But during the last dozen
years." Mr.. Clark said, more
and more farmers in the county
have been turning to a we'll
rounded farm program, includ-
ing livestock and dairying. And
these farmers have suffered most
from the drought.
Most of the dairy and live
stock farmers" he said, "will
have to purchase feed before the
winter is over"
Need Steady Rain.
The few drops of rain that
fell yesterday, and skies that re-
mained cloudy most of the day,
gave farmers hope that the
drought might end.
What we need" Mr.. Clark
said, "is a week of solid, steady
rain"
Mr.. Clark said small grains
wheat, barley and oats-that
were planted early in the fall
have in some instances germin-

ated and come up, only to stop
growing because of lack of
moisture.
Seedlings made later, he said
have not had enough moisture
to germinate.
If we get rains now, and cold
weather holds off until these
seedlings can make a stand, then
we may have grain crops next
year.
IF this drought continues.
then it is going to damage us
for another year."
Firemen Bring in Water.
In some sections of the county
where wells have failed, local fire
departments have brought in
water for residents.
w. M. Richardson, a farmer
and merchant in the Melwood
section, near Upper Marlboro.
called on the Marlboro Volunteer
Fire Department for water for
a well that had gone dry. He
said the fire department brought
IN 1000 gallons, which he stored
IN a 45-foot well.
Mr.. Richardson said three out
OF five wells on his farm have
gone dry. He said one of his
tenants is carrying water from
another well a quarter of a
mile away.
Over on Largo road, Bernard
Roland said he doesn't get as
many baths as he would like"
Mr.. Roland, who works in
Washington, said his well has
failed twice this summer. While
1t is producing a little now. he
said, his family can't use much
water. He said a neighbor is out
of water.
Largo Section Better Off.
Farmers in the Largo section
OF the county appear to be in
better shape than many of their
neighbors.
w. Beall Bowie at Mt. Lubentia
said his water supplies are hold
ing up, his hay crop was good
and there is still grass around
the edges" of his pastures for
cattle.
He said he didn't remember it
oelng so dry at this season of
the year. 1--WE have had water
troubles in midsummer" he
said, "but we usually have
moisture at this time of the
year."

PraVda AssaiIs Lao
In Russian Housinu;
10 Ministries Chided
By the Assoeioted Press

MOSCOW, Oct. 24.-The So
Wet Unions ambitious housing
construction program is tagging
behind schedule. No fewer than
10 ministries have been warned
to speed up and increase their
efficiency with more mechanical
ton and the most modern
6 methods.
Pravda, official newspaper of
the Communist Party, disclosed
: this situation today in a critical
: editorial which also complained
that in many places programs
J. for the construction of schools,
!. nurseries, and hospitals are run.
ming behind schedule.
Housing is an important fac
tor in the Malenkov govern
ment's pledge to improve the liv-
ing standard and brighten the
lives of Soviet citizens. It also
ties in with big current drives
to increase farm production and
the output Of consumer goods.
In both these fields the govern
ment has warned administrators
and workers it means business
and wants results.
Heavy Government Outlay.
Turning the spotlight on the
building program, Pravda said
the government investment in
housing this year is almost four
times the outlay for this purpose
in 1910. Funds for school build
ing increased 80 per cent over
1852, for nurseries 40 per cent,
and for hospitals 54 per cent.
Experience shows" Pravda
said, that building plans are
successfully fulfilled only where
economic leaders and local party
and government officials deeply
concern themselves with con-
Struction and in every way keep
an eye on the activity. However,
there are many facts of another
kind. A number of ministers and
departments are badly applying
the means allotted to them for
housing and cultural construc-
ton"
Several Programs Hit.
Pravda said that in Kharkov,
for example, the 1853 program
called for more than 119,6OO
square yards of new living space,
but by mid-September hardly
one-f1fth of this program was
completed" The building pro-
grams in the Moldavia, Turkmen,
and Azerbaijan Soviet republics
also were severely criticized.
Pravda then named the min
istries it said are failing to full
fill their plans. These included
the ministries of transport and
heavy machine building, con-
struction materials, and food
StuftS industry.
Various ministries were criti-
cized for failing to improve the
supply Of materials for housing
construction. These included the |
ministry of building materials, |
electrical industry, metallurgical |
industry, and chemicals. They
were warned that they must
adopt measures to satisfy more
fully the needs of builders for
various m terials, including
plumbing and electro-technical
articles"

Commission Is Calm.
The Advisory Commission took
calm view toward the cattle
situation. In a report on it's con-
ference with Gen. Eisenhower,
the commission said:
1.-THE commission unanimously
commended the present program
of the Department of Agricul-
ture, which includes an ex-
panded purchase program to-
falling 100000 head of cattle,
the increased drought-relief pro-
gram, in which the States are
cooperating. emergency credit,
reduced freight rates and in
creased promotion of beef sales.
1.-THE impact of this program
is already being felt in strength
ening prices for the lower grades
of cattle, and further helpful ef-
fects will be felt as Government
buying is stepped up in weeks
ahead"
Other Farm Products.
About other farm products, the
commission said:
Special attention is being
given to improved programs for
wheat and cotton. =. Ways are
being worked out to build domes-
tic and foreign markets.
For corn, program changes
are being considered which would
protect incomes of corn produc-
ers and stabilize the feed supply

ChurchiII's Policies
Herald New Munich,
Soviet Press Charges
BY the Associated Press

MOSCOW, Oct. 24.-Soviet
publications continued today
their sharp forays against Brit
ish Prime Minister Churchill,
warning that his policy as ex-
pressed october 10 to a Conserv-
ative Party conference in Mar
gate, England, could lead to
catastrophe.
The comments indicated that
the U. S. S. r. looks on such a
policy as a sort of new Munich.
Both New Times and the Lit
erarY Gazette took up the theme
today with strong words. It is
clear that no recent speech by q
Western leader has aroused such
annoyance here as the Margate
speech, which the Soviet press
has called an ultimatum to
France to complete ratification
of the European Defense Com
munty (EDC) treaty.
Warns of Catastrophe.
New Times said historical ex-
perience shows that the Munich
policy-old or new-can lead only
to catastrophe. The policy of
remilitarization of West Ger
many has nothing in common
with the interests of England,
and this simple, clear truth can
not be clouded by any maneuvers
or any sophistries."
The foreign policy weekly
said "Churchill's October 10
speech provoked disillusionment
in England, broad indignation in
France, and malicious satisfac-
tion in Bonn" 1t added that re-
action to the speech showed
deepening mistrust and alarm"
in Western Europe.
"The evident current policy of
England on the German question
and on many other questions of
today'S international relations"
New Times said, "Is an append
age of the policy of another
country-the United States"
Still 'Bewilderment" Seen.
A writer COR the Literary Ga
zette said Mr.. Churchill won
broad approval last May for his
suggestion of an urgent need for
talks by the main powers at the
highest level. It added:
Therefore, it is fully under
standable the wild erm n t
aroused in broad circles of Eng
Esh opinion by the recent speech
of Churchill to the Conservative
Party at Margate. It is well
known that his ultimative de-
mandS on France to agree to the
rebirth of an aggressive Ger
mani Wehrmacht, either under
the flag of the European De-
tense Community or under the
flag of the Atlantic bloc
provoked deep indignation in
France and. though the words
were directed to France, also
alarmed his (Churchill's) own
compatriots."
In the Margate speech Mr..
Churchill said that if the Eu-
ropean Defense Community,
which would include German
soldiers, SHOULD not be adopted
by the French, we shall have
no choice in prudence, but to
fall in with some new agree
ment which will join the
strength of Germany to the
Western allies through NATO."
