Tide of Federal aid shifts as Maryland reps press cuts
Last week two Maryland items showed persistent effort to alter federal policy. Congressman Mathias announced the closing of the Naval Academy dairy farm in Gambrills after a three year fight over efficiency, 876 acres with 300 Holstein cows and 47 workers. Maryland’s delegation urged rejection of a $36 million Pennsylvania broiler loan, arguing it could flood markets and hurt the Eastern Shore, with Sen. Tydings noting a Labor Department report recommended against the New Castle project.
