Way Open To File
AS An Independent

Republicans, Democrats and In
dependents can file as independent
candidates for county offices in
the state, it was learned this week
through the office of the Board of
Supervisors Of Elections.
There had been some comments
in this county concerning the rul-
ing. The law states that Il person
may be listed as an Independent
candidate for an office if he OBJ
tains the names of 500 petition
signers by the fourth Monday in
July which is July 26
Up to the present time the Board
of Supervisors has had no direct
inquiries about filing as an in
dependent candidate. There has
been one inquiry in Allegany
county.
The primary laws make clear,
however, that a defeated candi-
date in a primary election may not
subsequently file as an indepcnd-
ent candidate in the general elec-
ton.

Low producing COWS are eXpen-
sive to the dairyman, If they are
kept in the herd, they are not
profitable to the dairyman, and
only adds more surplus milk to the
market. Good dairy management
program would be to move "cull'
COWS at the highest beef price that
can be had. Low grades of beef
feels the "pinch" first when supply
of meats or meat substitutes are
most available; therefore, it is
necessary for the dairyman to take
into consideration the entire meat
supply when trying to determine
the best time to sell Gull COWS from
his herd.
The spring pig crop is reported
to be increased 10 percent. Spring
pigs are normally marketed in Au-
gust, September and October Hog
prices are expected to decrease 20
to 25 percent by September. If the
above situation is reasonably cor
rect, the dairyman would be wise
to Gull out Improbable cows and
market as early as possible.
The lower milk prices call for
increased efficiency on the dairy
mans part, if net income is to be
maintained or increased.
Remember pasture supplies the
most nutrition at lowest cost for
the dairy cow. Silage is second, and
hay third. Good pasture, silage and
hay is worth much more than poor
or common quality.

ready has a substantial invest
ment? Are the airplanes and the
travelling public opposed to its use
as secondary airport for the
Washington Capital area? Are the
officials Of the City of Baltimore
and the District of Columbia
sympathetic to the establishment
of the Baltimore-Friendship Inter
national Airport as an alternate
airport to the Washington National
Airport?
5. Consistent with the policy of
military unification, would it be
possible to consolidate the many
military air operations in and
around the Washington area as a
means Of cffecting further buget-
airy savings and relieving the
critical air congestion?
s. Are any government funds
presently available for any type of
airport construction OF airport i'm
provements in the District Of Co
lumbia area? Should the develop
ment Of hcIiports lie undertaken ?
Should a separate airport for eX-
ecutive-type aircraft also be con
sidcred?
1t is my firm conviction that,
with the cooperation of Govern
ment officials, transportation au-
thoritics, airline executives, mem
bcrs of Congress, and interested
citizens, this intensive study will
bring forth the necessary recon-
mendations to settle this long
standing controversy with finality

Congressional
Viewpoint
Sen. John Marshall Butler

The State of Maryland and the
Federal Government has tire
mendous investment in Friendship
International Airport, and | have
therefore constantly advocated that
this excellent facility could be
utilized Immediately to relieve tho
serious congestion which exists al
Washngton's National Airport
with minimum of additional eX-
pense to the taxpayers.
However, through the years, in
an effort to provide sufficient ca
pacity to serve the Nations Capt.
tai, a number of proposals have
been advanced. These have primari-
ly related to the use of Andrews
Air Force Base, the use of Friend
ship International Airport, and or
the construction of an entirely new
airport, and considerable differ
ence of opinion and controversy has
developed.
Accordingly, at my suggestion,
| the Aviation Subcommittee of the
Senate Committee on Interstate
and Foreign Commerce will soon
commence hearings for the purpose
of obtaining the following facts;
/. What is the extent of the con
gestion in the air and on the ramps
at the Washington National Air
port, and to what extent have such
conditions and safety considerations
necessitated the curtailment and
delay of commercial operations?
Under what conditions and at what
times are such conditions aggra-
waited?
,. Does the Department of Com
merce consider the construction of
another airport in the Washington
Capital area would be desirable and
essential? If so, when and at what
estimated cost? What is the pres
ent status and future prospect of
the Burke Airport site, selected
pursuant to Public Law 1862, Of the
S1st Congress?
3. Is Andrews Air Force Base
still considered a desirable interim
airport terminal for airline traffic?
What would be the expected dura-
ton of the use of this base for COM
mercial operations, and what OK
penditures would be necessary to
make it disable for commercial
operations, and what expenditures
would be necessary to make it
disable for commercial operations
What is the present status of ne
gotiations with the Air Force for
the commercial use of this base?
Will the commercial use of this
base require the curtailment of
military operations therefrom?
/. What conditions preclude the
immediate use of the Baltimore
Friendship International Airport in
which the Federal Government al
