Maryland Regents
To Reveal Decision
On Report Today
By the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Oct. 15.-The
University of Maryland regents
met for AZ hours yesterday, re-
considering publication of a con-
troversial accrediting report, but
postponed saying what was de-
cided until today.
William P. Cole, board chair
man. gave no indication of what
would be in today's report ex-
cept to say that its release was
delayed because it is at such
length"
Asked If that meant it in
cluded the text of an evaluation
report made by the Middle States
Association of Colleges, Judge
Cole replied "you will have to
wait to see it to decide what
is in it,"
The association sent its report
to the regents last April and they
voted later not to make it pub
lie. It's contents have become
somewhat of a political issue in
the campaign for Governor be-
tween Gov. McKeldin, Republi-
can. and DR.. H. c. Byrd. the
former university president and
Democratic candidate.
Gov. McKeldin urged the re-
gents to make it public and OBJ
tanned an opinion from the
attorney general that he did not
have the authority to force it's
release.
Arthur Sherwood, Republican
candidate for Congress from the
4th district, disclosed last week
that the medical school of the
university was threatened with
loss of its accreditation. DR.. Will
son Elkins, new university presi-
dent, confirmed this and Judge
Cole later said the situation ap-
piled to the university as a
whole.

BY the As:ocioted Press

BALTIMORE, Oct. 15.-Gov.

increase for Maryland school
teachers in 1851, went before
10000 of them here in the midst
of his campaign for reelection
and declared the States SPEND
ing for schools has increased IS
per cent under his administra-
ton.

of the Maryland Teacher, official
publication of their association.

the association, declaring Gov.

in 1851 contributed to the grow
ing teacher shortage which is
depriving Maryland children OF
their traditional birthright."
The editorial did not call for
Gov. McKeldin's defeat next
month. It pointed out Gov. Nc
Keldin's opponent, H. C. Byrd,
had built "the physical facilities
and the foundation of a great
State university" at the Univer-
sity Of Maryland.

Mr.. Raver called attention of
the teachers to an attack on the
proposal by the Maryland As
sociation of Insurance Agents.
The agents, he reported, had
called it a socialistic scheme.

Science Is No Longer in Dark
About Appomuttox and Shark

in a scientific journal. He was
near the truth when he guessed
"some one must have put the
fish in the river, probably after
catching it in net somewhere
off the Virginia coast. :"
The Richmond Times Dispatch
said today Doug Jackson of
Farmville was given the shark
while visiting Virginia Beach.
He brought it home packed in
ice, but his fondness for it dwin-
died and he dumped it into the
river, thinking turtles would de-
stroy it.

A brief mystery Of how a dog
fish shark was caught in the
Appomattox River in Virginia,
some 100 airmiles from the briny
deep, was solved today.
Morgan and Nick Garrett, 10
and Z, respectively, caught the
saltwater denizen August 30
while fishing from a bridge in
Prince Edward County. It was
27 inches long and weighed five
pounds.

Though the audience greeted
it with a roar Of laughter, the
remark evidently held some sting
for politicians from industrial

cans included-had disclaimed

Hyde Refuses 10 Take
Stand on Censure Of
Senator Mccarthy

| ~~ssSasSs sS~s sss
Representative Hyde, Republi.
can, seeking reelection from
Maryland's 9Th district, yesterday
described McCarthyism as the
hottest issue in his campaign
against Democrat Edward j
Ryan.
In short talks before the -Four
Corners Businessmen's Associa-
tion and the Hillmead Citizens
Association, he refused to say
whether he was for or against
Senator Mccarthy or censure of
the Wisconsin legislator.
"I cannot do anything about
Mr.. Mccarthy. I don't know
what makes him tick" Mr.. Hyde
said. But I know I am against
communism" :
Against BrOwbeating.
"But if those who ask me about
McCarthyism mean browbeating
of witnesses before committees,
then I am opposed to it," Mr..
Hyde declared.
II am also opposed to the
making of reckless charges for
publicity purposes or to make
some one look bad"
At another point Mr.. Hyde
said he was not certain of the
significance of Senate censure
of one of its members.
He added that to some it
might mean declaring Senator
Mccarthy unfit to hold his Sem
ate seat, while to others it
would mean merely "slapping
his wrists" for conducting him.
self like a jackass, which he has
done on a number of occasions. p"
Mr.. Hyde conceded he did
not like a lot of the things Sen
ator Mccarthy does cor the
way he does them"
Mr.. Hyde has been under fire
from his opponent, Mr.. Ryan,
for not taking definite stand
on the Mccarthy issue.
Shocked" by Booing.
Mr.. Hyde on two occasions
yesterday expressed shock, sor-
row and regret" over facing
"boos, catcalls and Kisses"
Wednesday night on this issue.
The Representative said it
was the first time in his eight
years of campaigning in Mont
gomery County that he had
faced such a demonstration. The
demonstration occurred at a de-
bate between himself and Mr..
Ryan sponsored by the League
of Women Voters at Bethesda
Chevy Chase High School.
II have made a record on COM
munism and how it should be
dealt with" Mr.. Hyde said. He
said he twice had defended sue
cesSfully Government employees
before loyalty boards.
He pointed to consideration of
the Ober Law in Maryland on
which he worked and said he
was the only member of the
House of Delegates to take the
floor to Issue a word of warning
about the fair enforcement of
the law"
He also cited his work on the
overlapping witness immunity
and Communist inf1ltration
measures in the House judiciary
Committee and on the House
floor.

Frear Bill 10 Seek
Guaranteed Wage
Setup for Farmers
BY the Associated Press


? WILMINGTON, Del, April 10.
Senator Frear, Democrat, of
Delaware today proposed a revo-
lutionary income insurance plan
to give farmers a guaranteed
annual minimum wage.
The plan, reported today in
the Wilmington Sunday Star.
would replace the present sys-
TEN of Government price sup
ports and other subsidies for
farmers.
Senator Frear, in an inter-
view with the newspapers Wash
ington correspondent. said he
will introduce a bill next week
outlining his plan. The Senator
said his bill proposes that in
exchange for a modest annual
premium, the farmer will be
guaranteed a minimum income
based on the number of his de-
pendents. He said he will pro-
pose for a start that this mini
mum income be fixed at $500
per year per dependent-the
amount of exemption allowed
under Federal income tax law
for a dependent.
The subsistence guarantee
would be the Governments only
responsibility. A farmer with
four dependents. for example,
would be given an insurance pol
icy providing that if he earned
less than $4,000 the Government
sponsored insurance corporation
would make up the difference.
The farmer would have to
show, Senator Frear said, that
his income loss was due to alb
normally low prices, crop failure
due to adverse weather, or to
personal illness or injury requir-
ing disqualification.
He would set up local county
committees, similar to those
established under the Soil Con-
servation and Agricultural Adj
justment Act program, to pass
upon a farmers eligibility for
insurance.
The Sunday Star reported
that the idea for the plan orig
mated with Aldo Jones, Snow

GO FLY A KITE
BUT SAFELY
Reddy Kilowatt Offers Four
Rules for Safe Kite
Flying for Children
DP&L SPOKESMAN

Reddy Kilowatt, acting as offic-
ial spokesman for the Delaware
Power & Light Company, has just
made his appeal to all children in
the state to fly their kites safely.
Reddy makes his appearance by
way of a poster which is distri-
buted about this time each year by
the Delaware Safety Council in
cooperation with the Delaware
Power & Light Company. These
posters are contained in the regu-
lar monthly mailing to every
school, public, private and paro-
chial, which contains wealth of
safety material designed at both
teacher and pupil level. Many
children are injured or killed each
year when subjected to live wires
in an attempt to retrieve their
kites which have become entang-
led in such wires. Reedy tells the
children to GO FLY A KTTE-but
to do it SAFELY. He offers the
following rules for safe kite fly
ing: 1. Keep kites away from
electric wires. g.. Use dry cotton
string. 8. Never use metal on kites.
4. Never climb poles. The Safety
Council also appeals to the motor
lists to watch out for the young
ster who may not take to the open
field to fly his kite, but attempts
to send it skyward from the street
or highway.
