Farm Show Director Is Fired Today (Continued From One) huge crowds every year. "It has never come close to the break-even point under Mann," he stated. He said his department had asked the Shapp administration for over $500,000 this year to ease the fiscal crunch. "It is apparent," the Agriculture Secretary said, "that this change is needed to make the Farm Show bigger and better than ever." Named By Scranton Mann, formerly of Clearfield, lives in New Cumberland. A Republican, he received the Farm Show appointment under the Scranton Administration nine years ago.

The commission is comprised of six Republicans and three Democrats. One member of the commission noted that if MoHale wins out, the commission will be "absolutely useless a paper commission." He also said this was the first time the agriculture secretary has ever tried to change the Farm Show management without consulting the commission. McHale claimed that Mann would not come up with any recommendations to aid him in cutting expenses of the- annual affair, in his meetings with him on the subject. Mann denied that he would not cooperate, saying that he never had a chance to meet with him and go over the whole program. Mann noted that the annual Farm Show budget has remained at $340,000 for the last three years, in spite, of rising costs which have left them with a $200,000 deficiency this year.

The commission regularly meets each day of the Farm Show at 11 a.m. and Friday the second meeting was called by the commission in the afternoon to come to Mann's aid.
