Governor Calls For
Extra Session Today

Governor McKeldin called a spe-
cial session Of the Legislature for
10 a. m, today Thursday, March
8.
The Assembly will be asked to
re-enact port authority bill of
doubtful constitutionality and con
slider bond issues for school con-
struction and a civic arena in Bal
timore.
The Baltimore school bond is
sue will be for Is million dollars
and the civic center proposal for
6 million. The Legislature also may
take up other local matters at the
session if it wishes
The bill to create a state port
authority has been under a consti-
tutional cloud since its introduction
at the 30-day session which is re-
stricted to budget and fiscal mat
tiers, emergency legislation and
matters involving general public
welfare.
The attorney general had said
before the session he didn't think
it would qualify Casting further
doubt, some lawmakers believe, is
exclusion from the original bill of
Anne Arundel county except a
small industrial area near Baltl-
more. This they feel kept it from
being a statewide measure
Further added to this complica-
ton was an amendment adopted
to the port bill Thursday night to
exclude Talbot county.
At a special session local eX-
emptions would not make it in
valid.
The regular session of the legis-
lature ended March l after giving
Gov. McKeldin authority to seize
the strike bound Baltimore Tran
sit company.
In the windup of the Legislature
it:
Killed off in committees bills
which would have given school
teachers a $500 pay raise and paid
war veterans a bonus.
Enacted a capital improvements
program of S8,55O,167 and approved

Infrared Breeders
Grow in Popularity

Poultry producers who raise lOO
TO 500 chicks per lot are turning
more and more to the infrared
lamp method of brooding chicks,
saws Wade II. Rice, University of
MARYLAND Extension poultry spe-
cialist
If you have not tried this method
and have electric power on your
farm, you might like to consider a
change from your present system,
Rice suggests. With infrared brood
ers there is no fuel to carry no
ashes to remove, no burners to
clean. Infrared brooders are light
in weight, easy to set up, move,
and store. And you can see the
chicks without lifting hover.
Readymade infrared brooders
are available, marketing at prices
ranging from SO to $40 depending
on the number of lamps used. the
type of brooder, and whether they
have automatic regulators.
Or you can make brooder your
self. says Rice. Simple plans for
building an infrared brooder US

Another advantage of infrared
breeders. according TO Rice is that
the lamps have many other uses
around the farm and home. They
can be used for brooding pigs.

In case Of power failure, a stand

property nearer than one thousand
feet to the boundary of the proper
tv except by agreement with the
owners of the gas and oil on ada
cent lands. Provided also that on
those properties on which it may
be impossible to locate well said
distance from the boundary, and
where no agreement with the own
ers of the gas and oil on adjacent
lands has been made, a well may
be located nearer than one thou
sand feet to the boundary with the
consent of the departments pro-
vidcd however, when any permit
to drill well nearer than one

HOUSE GROUP ASKS Ike
TO FIRE TWO OFFICIALS

The House Government Operation S
subcommittee wants President Eisen-
hover to fire Under Secretary of In
terror Clarence Davis and Assistant
Secretary Fred Aandahl. The con-
gressmen accuse Davis and Aandahl
of undermining public power laws by
favoring private utilities in the sale
Of federal power. The laws give CO.
operatives and public power groups
first call on federal power
The subcommittee also charges the
Administration with forcing electric
co-operatives into accepting unfavor-
able mergers with private utilities. If
the plan should be carried out fully,
it says, the result would be lone gi-
gantic private monopoly" Republican
members, minority, filed a dissent.
The group accuses Davis, Aandahl
and former Secretary Douglas Mckay
of "brazen attempt" to get around
power laws in an effort to favor pri-
vate companies.
"The secretarial triumvirate of the
Department of Interior apparently
follows the edicts of private power
companies as those of sort of su-
preme legislature with authority to
reverse any action of Congress which
does not maintain their monopoly in
the field of private power" the con-
gressmen say.
They want congressional investi-
cation of the "organized effort of the
private power companies to influence
the Federal administration, the Con-
gress, the governments Of the states
and the political life of the nation"

HELENA-Accordi to A. D..
Moir, supervisor of the Helena Ma
tional Forest, plans are rapidly shap-
ing up for this years spruce budworm
control operation. The spruce bud
worm epidemic that started on the
Townsend district of the Helena For
est in the early '40's has spread over
an estimated 3 million acres of Mon
tana's timber lands, causing loss of
approximately 25 million dollars in
sawtimber growth value. The Forest
Service believes that the loss during
1856 alone will total 20 million dol
lars in timber growth value.
In addition to the loss of timber
growth on some parts of the Helena
forest we are now experiencing a
heavy tree mortality with resultant
increase in fire hazard and loss of
watershed and aesthetic values.
Control of spruce budworm out
breaks by airplane spraying has been
successful in large scale operations
conducted in Oregon and Washing
ton. One pound of D.D.T. in one
gallon of fuel oil is applied per acre
during a short period in early sum-
mer, when expanding (fir) buds ex-
pose the worm larvae.
In early July, 1853, 10000 acres
of spruce budworm infested fir tim
Der was successfully sprayed on the
Helena and Deer Lodge forests but
because of lack Of available funds,
adjacent infested areas were not
sprayed so that much Of the sprayed
area has been reinfested.
Plans for this year include the
spraying Of about one million acres In
Montana including lands in and ada
cent to the Beaverhead, Bitterroot,

and Lolo forests. This project IN

tai that Eisenhower sought when he
boosted 1856 wheat supports to 81
per bushel. (See this newsletter of
May 25.)
The wheat supply situation this
year, under the sliding scale laws
formula, would put supports at 75%
of parity, approximately as it did
last year when Benson proclaimed
$1.81 per bushel. (76@o of parity as
the highest support price he could
justify for the 1856 crop.
But the political situation, observ-
ers believe, would influence the Eli
senhower Administration to ignore
the laws flexible formula for 1857
wheat prices just as it did for 1856
prices-if the announcement can be
extracted from the Secretary of Agri-
culture before the election. These OBJ
servers believe that 1857 wheat sup
ports would be So per bushel despite
the "flexible" laws formula if the
announcement is made before No
vember.
The clear intent of Congress, as
stated in Sec. 406 of the Agricul-
tural Act of 1949, is that support
prices should be announced to
farmers before planting begins and
before any marketing quota refer
endum. But Benson has violated
this repeatedly in the case of feed
grains, delaying support price an
nouncements until long after plant
ing has started.
The appeal to Benson to comply
with this congressional intention by
setting the support price before the
July 20 referendum would, in addi-
ton to the probable gain of zoe per
bushel in support price, help to en-
courage the necessary two-thirds
Eyes" vote in the referendum.
