Democrat ConClave
Set For July 10th

The Democratic State convention
was set for Monday, July 26 amid
warnings from supporters Of
George P. Mahoney that they
would take legal action to block
any move designed to stampede the
state convention into giving the
party's gubelnational nomination
to DR.. H. c. Byrd.
The call for the convention on
that date beat by two days the
legal requirement which says the
party's convention must be held
within 80 days of the June 2S pri-
mary. 1t is possible to convene the
convention and then recess it until
recounts and other legal actions are
completed.
Recounts were still under way
in Talbot and Queen Annc's coun-
ties. Three more recounts were
scheduled to start yesterday in Cal
vert county and the 4th and 9Th
Baltimore legislative districts.
The recount scheduled to be held
in Garrett County was postponed
until next Monday at the request
of Mahoney. Mahoney made his re-
quest to w. w. Dawson, attorney
to the Board Of Election Super
visors, who got in touch with Neil
c. Fralcy, attorney for Dr. Byrd.
Byrd consented to the postpone
ment.
Byrd still had an 8O-72 edge over
Mahoney in county unit votes
which govern the outcome of the
race. He still had 1863, 54S to 159,
$50 statewide popular vote margin
over Mahoney on the basis of Of
fetal returns.
The local Democrats have not or
gained yet, and no convention
delegates have been named. DR.. f.

Wheat Marketing
Quota Referendum
To Be Held July 3

Eligible wheat growers on July
% will have an opportunity to vote
for or against marketing quotas
for the 1855 wheat crop. The refer
endum, according to H. Robert De-
Witt, chairman of the County Ag-
ricultural Sterilization and Con-
servatiOn committee, will determine
whether or not the marketing quota
program now in effect will continue
for next years crop.
Two thirds of those who vote
must approve marketing quotas be-
fore they can be put into operation.
The current program, voted on last
year, was approved nationally by
about 81 percent of those who
voted.
Voting locally will be done at
the ASC office in the postoffice
building at Oakland, from 8 a. m.
to p. M, Standard time. Eligible
voters out of the county that day
may arrange to vote by mail.
All farmers who will plant more
than Is acres of wheat for harvest
as grain in 1855, and tenants en-
titled to a share in the proceeds of
the wheat crop are eligible to vote.
If marketing quotas are APP
proved the full level of price sup
port authorized for 1855 will be
available for those who plant with
in their acreage allotments and
those who plant more than their
allotments and also more than 10
acres will be required to pay a
penalty on the excess wheat. Mar
keting quotas and acreage allOt-
ments apply to all wheat to be
harvested as grain, irregardless of
what the wheat is to be used for,

other grains, Dewitt said.
If quotas are not approved, the
support price for wheat will drop

no penalty for those who plant
more than their allotment, except
for the fact that they will not be
entitled to price support on their
wheat.

Place OF Senses In Divine Plan
Topic OF Critics Forum Talk

In the second OF this years Crit
les Forum sessions on Mar. 25, Dr.
Richard Baker, associate professor
of philosophy at the University OF
Dayton, reviewed My Friends the
Senses by Pere Charles Damian
Boulogne, OP.
Commenting on its Charming
phrases and brilliant insights," Dr.
Baker classified the book as a
treatment on the excellence OF the
human body and the place of the
senses in the Divine Plan"
The book opposes the Greek
philosopher Plato and some Of the
heretical sects who maintained
that the body has no good qualities
and merely infectS the soul, DR..
Baker pointed out. In contrast, Pere
Boulogne lists the senses, starting
with those which operate from a
distance, such as sight, and details
how very valuable each of the sens
es is.
DR.. Baker frequently cOmpli-
mented the author on his ability
TO make earthly things symbols, as
reminders of divine providence

Indian Reds
Fail To Win
Big Election

TRIVANDRUM, India-(NC)
- India's communists have
failed in their attempt to take
over the government of Ira
vancore-Cochin, India'S most
Christian state.
Emerging as the second
largest party in the local cleo
tions here, the communist
sponsored United Front had
hoped to lure the support of the
Praja Socialists and enough Inde-
pendents to form a government.
However, the national executive
of the Praja Socialist Party decided
against joining communist-con-
trolled government, and Red hopes
fell.
The Socialist leader, Patton
Thanu Pillay, was promised the
support of the Congress party and
has now formed a state govern
ment. About one-third of the
states population is Christian.
Elections TO the 1T seats of the
state legislative assembly resulted
in a political deadlock with no par
ty securing a definite majority.
The party positions at the close of
the elections we're: Congress-45,
United Front-35, Praja Socialists
10, Independents and other
groups-18.
Eighteen Of the asSemblymen are
Catholics. Two communist members
ars fallen-away Catholics.
The Praia Socialist party, rep
Fesenting the moderate wing of
Indian politics, favors deeentraI-
izstion of industries, abolition of
lsndlordism and nationslizstion
of key industries. Catholics have
not been barred from supporting
the Socialist party.
