Corn Acre
AllOtnents
Mailed Out

Corn acreage allotment notices
for 1856 have been mailed to
Maryland farmers by county Ag
ricultural Sterilization and Con-
servation Committee offices.
Chester S. Bradley, state ASC
chairman, reports that many
farmers are still under the inn
preston that they will be penal
lied if they exceed their corn
acreage allotment.
This is not So" Mr.. Bradley
said "but farmers will not be
eligible for government price sup
port on their corn if the acreage
allotment is exceeded"
If farmer feels that his corn
acreage allotment is too small he
may plant any amount of corn
he wishes without being penal
lied However, the chairman add
ed, the farmer who exceeds his
corn allotment will not be able
to get a government price sup
port loan on his corn.
Mr. Bradley also reminds Mary
land farmers that the cross-com-
pliance provision is no longer in
effect. Under this provision,
farmers could not obtain a gov
eminent price support loan on
any crop when the allotment on
one crop was exceeded. Now, he
said, each crop is on an "indi-
vidual basis" and even though
farmer may exceed his allot-
ment on corn, he is still eligible
for a loan on his other crops, pro-
vided allotments on these other
crops are not exceeded.
This provision applies only to
corn, Mr.. Bradley cautioned If a
farmer exceeds his allotment on
other crops such as wheat or to-
bacco, he will still be penalized.

Army aviation schools open to
HIS grads. Mechanically in
clined young men seeking a good
future are asked to look into the
many new opportunities now
existing in the expanding field of
Army aircraft maintenance. The
Regular Army needs aviation
mechanics for its stepped-up fly
ing program. Army airplanes =
lightcraft and helicopters are
used for observation purposes and
other forms of air-ground liaison.
There is quite a shortage of
trained aviation mechanics in the
Army, thus splendid chances for
training and advancement. No
former training or experience is
necessary to qualify for on-duty
schooling, however in order to
be assured of attending choice
schools, applicants must have
completed high school or have an
equivalent education.
Aircraft technical courses now
available are: airplane repair 10
weeks; helicopter repair (23
weeks; aircraft instrument and
electrical system repair (18
weeks); aircraft powertrain and
engine repair go weeks; and
army helicopter maintenance (16
weeks.
For information about these
schools and some 80 others rang
ing from electronics to medical,

member, fellows, its choice - not
chance - when you enlist in the

The Army Reserve units at
Rockville, now settled in their
new armory over the Modern
Furniture Store on East Mont
gomery Avenue, have stepped up
their enlistment campaign to in
clude II new reservists during
the past two weeks.
Most of these are young men
between the ages of II and 18
and half who will spend six
months on active duty then will
return home to serve in the Ready
Reserves" said Sgt. Pete Boise,
one of two Reserve recruiters as.
signed to the local units.
After the six month tour of
active duty the new reservists
will attend regular weekly drill
periods consisting of two hours
one evening each week and once
year will go with their units ia
camp for two weeks of summer
training.

This is to congratulate you on
the article in the Sentinel on
March IS about Charles Francis
Jenkins, television pioneer, It
was factual and caught the spirit
of the man, although too brief to
cover the many details of his life
and inventions.
He was an impetuous dare.
devil, but one of the kindest,
most generous, and gentle of
men; with an abiding love and
understanding of little children,
although he never had any of
his own.
His balance wheel, and the love
of his life, was his wife whom
he always called Oracle" She
was my mothers sister. They
wanted little for themselves, but
their outpouring generosity
changed innumerable lives for the
better
The story of their great gener.
osity will never be told because
they never cared to have il
known. They are held in loving
memory by all who knew them
and their Influence for good will
live on.

Our sacred Easter season is
fast approaching. Naturally our
thoughts turn to the cross OF
Christ.
So why shouldn't we ask each
Christian family to put cross in
the window during holy week, or
at least on Good Friday?
Let us make the cross symbol
of Easter as the tree and the
star are symbols of Christmas.
The cross belongs to all Chris
tians. And we must be "Christ's
living ambassadors and spiritual
interpreters" If we all let Him
come into our hearts, this awful
darkness of war, our liquor, and
our Juvenile delinquency problems
win disappear.
As this is the third year Of this
crusade for "A Cross in the Win
dow During Holy Week" 1t may
be that you would like to know
a few things that have been done
I've often been asked where
can we buy crosses?" If you can
not find what you want in church
book shops make your own
have found that people like Il
do just that.
A church in Kansas City, Mo
cut crosses from white cardboard
and distributed them on Palm
Sunday to all who attended serv
ices.
A lady in Milwaukee sent m,
picture of a cross her younl
son made. Her husband wired /
for electricity and placed it on thu
front porch. She put a pot o
lilies at the base. 1t was com
mented upon often.
Church bulletins and letter,
have been received from ever,
state in the union. Newspaper
have been most cooperative.
A friend of mine i'm this cit,
had occasion to meet her POSTWAR
at the door the day after she ha'
put a cross in her window. Hi
remark to her was. II see a Chris
tan family lives here"
Christ asked us TO let our ligh
shine. So won't you at Easter
time join in this crusade for 81
Cross in the Window and thu
witness for Him who did so mucl
for us?
I'm the Cross of Christ / Glory.

Moderate Leadership

1t would be better, all things con-
sidered, If Congress were to create a BIZ
partisan commission to study and report
on the South's racial problems For one
tnlng, a congreSSionally-c reated commits
sion could be given subpoena powers,
which may be necessary in some instances
70 secure needed testimony.
But if Congress is not going to act,
and this seems to be the prospect, then
commission of the type suggested by
President Eisenhower certainly should
be set up.
or course, no commission could hope
to solve all of the South's problems.
Perhaps 1t would not be able to solve any
OF them. But the great need in the South
To-Day Is Tor what the President calls
moderate and responsible leadership
supported by spirit of patience on the
part Of all of our people" AS matters
stand, moderate and responsible South
erners OF both races are being pushed into
one extreme camp or the other Tensions,
fears and hatreds are forcing normally
moderate people to remain silent or to
embrace immoderate courses of action.
A bipartisan commission composed of
respected people might be able, at the
least, to halt this trend. And it might
also serve as a focal point for rallying
those people who believe that the South's
problems can be solved and must be
solved. If nothing more than this were
to come from such project, it would be
well worth while to undertake it.
Senator HenningS, Democrat of Mis-
80 11;Ha IL Il.
II Congress will only enact four civil rights
bills favored by his subcommittee on con-
stitutional rights. But whatever the
merits of these measures in normal cir
cumStanceS, they offer no answer to the
situation which has grown out of the
Supreme Courts school decision. 1t may
be politically useful to Democrat to ad-
vertise them as solution to a growing
danger. But politics of the partisan va
riety is one thing that must be kept out
OF any approach to this problem if con-
structive results are to be achieved.

Matter Of Reciprocity

President Eisenhower has set forth
sound fundamental principle for gov
erning any future program of exchange
visits by Soviet and American technical
and scientific groups The principle is
simple one: Such visits would have to
be strictly circumscribed to guard against
the revealing of military secrets, and they
would have to be carried out on a basis
Of complete reciprocity.
Thus, as he indicated at one of his
recent news conferences, Mr.. Eisenhower
would not oppose the idea of opening our
country to a visit like the one now being
made in Britain by former Soviet Premier
Malenkov and group of Russian tech
nicians interested in studying British
plants producing electrical power. But
the President has emphasized at the
same time that the United States would
be host to delegation of that sort only
If the Soviet Union offered reciprocal
hospitality to a similar delegation of
Americans. AS he has put it, 1--WE are
not talking now about military secrets;
we are talking about the kind of scien-
tiflc knowledge that is available in the
journals Of the associations, of the liter
ature Of our great universities So
that If we were on the basis of exchang-
ing visitations with the Russians
certainly would not be one to hold them
out of our civil institutions But l
would want quid pro quo: Unless saw
theirs, they wouldn't see mine" And he
has gone on to add that If we are going
to have real exchange relationships, "letS
have them real that's all say"
This is an eminently sensible view.
If Russias leaders are willing to agree,
then 1t should be possible to work out
useful system Of exchange visits. Our
two countries can learn some things from
each other (for example, certain Soviet
oil-drilling equipment seems to be mar
kedly superior to ours, even though the
Russians lag far behind us in overall
production). Given true quid pro quo,
the kind Of program favored by the Pres
ident could be mutually beneficial-and
1t would have the added virtue of helping
materially to promote peace.

j. Grahame Walker, a
Democratic candidate for
Maryland's sixth district con-
Rressionai seat now held by

lieves that this year will see
Republicans staging the great
est "coattail campaign" in his
tory. Mr.. Walker said he in
tends to set forth his record
so voters will know that there
is a real and fundamental
difference between the Repub-
lican and Democratic Parties"
Certainly any help Demo-
Gratis can give us along this
line will be greatly appreci-
ated. For if there is anything
that might keep Republicans
away from the polls in No
vember, it would be the con-
victlon that there isn't a votes
worth of difference in the two
parties.
AS for likes coattailS. it
might be a cinch to have only
Republicans riding them. For
in the 1854 campaign they
appeared TO be so crowded
with Democratic hopefuls that
there was hardly room for a
