Richard B. KEENAN,, executive
secretary of the Commission for
the Defense of Democracy
through Education, delivering
the principal address at the
morning session. said:
1.-THE only way that we can
be sure of changing, and prob
ably improving, is through our
willingness to look at ideas diff
ferent from our own. The found
ers of our republic recognized
this and protected it in the Bill
of Rights by granting freedom
of press. religion, assembly and
speech.
Low Interest DeplOred
Just how well are we main
tanning this basic freedom to-
day?"

Heated Debates Mark
Citizenship Assembly

ANNAPOLIS. Md, May 10 (P).
The second annual Maryland
Conference on Citizenship
brought out at least one fact to-
Gay: That everyone doesn't hold
the same views on citizenship.
For example. representatives
of one group were heard making
disparaging remarks about an
exhibit on the United Nations
which had been submitted by an
other participating organization.
Such opposing groups as the
Minute Women Of the U. S. A.
and the World Federalists had
members at the all-day program,

acres, as provided by law for the
next three crops. This acreage
would be apportioned to individual
farms by the same methods used
to determine farm corn acreage al
lotments. The 1-million-acre fig
ure compares with a. total of 81
zSS,SSy acres, which would be
available for ALLEGATION to growers
for 1867 if the acreage allotment
program is in effect. Under the
base acreage program. $4,000
acres would be assigned to Del
aware for corn production. The
acreage allotment program pro-
vides for only 10000 acres. Each
Delaware fa1 rner will be notified
before Dect flOer II of the number
OF acres of corn he can grow in
1857 under each program and still
receive price supports.
Price support under a base acre
age program would be determined
by the Secretary of Agriculture
each year, as directed by legisla-
ton, at such levels as would assist
producers in marketing corn in
the normal channels of trade but
not encourage uneconomic produc-
tion of corn. For 1857, the support
level has been set at an average of
S1.31 a bushel. The average sup
port under an allotment program
IN 1857 would be $136 a bushel.
According to Mr. Simpson, price
support rates for Delaware are not
known yet, but in the past have
averaged about 10 percent above
the national average. No price sup
port for corn that is not in COM
pliance with the law in effect is
anticipated in 1857, Mr.. Simpson
added.
To qualify for corn price sup
port under base acreage program.
the Chairman further explained.
The producer must not exceed the
-arm Soil Bank base acreage and
ne must also take part in the Soil
Bank by ''reserving" acreage in
either the Acreage Reserve or the
Conservation Reserve, or both:
acreage so reserved must equal at
east Is percent of the farm corn
oase acreage.
The December IL referendum
will determine the corn program
or 1857 and later years." Chairman
simpson emphasized. Growers
hould study the issues carefully,
md then be sure to vote their
hoice." Polling places will be an
lounced at later date.

so yards and was finally pulled
down from behind on the G. r. s.

to the one-yard line due to a pen

with G. r. recovering. With the re-

To Appeal Decision
(Contf1ued from page onel

In his decision, Mr.. Marvel dis
cussed such laws as exempt muni-
elpai property, used for public pur-
poses.
Then he continued, "The deter
mination of the tax status of real
property of the towns which served
no governmental purpose, such as
that devoted to production and dis
tribution of electricity and water
in Seaford and Lewes, is admitted
ly more difficult.
I'm view of the bread basis of
tax exemption for property held for
public use or benefit implicit in the
original tax exemption statute and
the subsequent re-enactment of
this section in substantially the
same language until 1909. that all
of plaintiffs real property is
exempt from county taxes unless
phrase, ''and not held by way of
investment, added by the 1909
statute, was intended to make tax
able profit making public owned
properties such as municipal cleo
trio and water plants.
am satisfied that that insofar
as the taxation of real property is
concerned the statutory language
contained in the 1909 amendment
while perhaps applicable to muni-
cipal real property privately rent
ed at profit does not apply to
property used for public purposes"
