With the Black bill apparently

SACRED MUSIC
To CD ON AIR

The third in a series Of pro-
grams of sacred music sponsored
by the Griffith Consumers Com
pany will be heard tonight at
$3.50 over Station WRC. The choir
of the Mt. Vernon Place M. E.
Church, South, consisting of 30
voices, directed by R. Deane
Shure, will be featured.
These sacred music broadcasts
are somewhat of a departure from
other types of radio presentations
and have met with widespread ap-
prevail, according to local radio Of
ficials. Letters from listeners to
WRC and the Griffith Consumers
Company officials have signified
widespread public acceptance of
the programs.
This series, according to Crit
fifth Consumers Company officials,
will feature some of the city's rep
resentative choirs of different de-
nominations. Officials said:
1--WE believe that there are
many people in Washington who
will welcome programs of this
character and hope that these
programs will stimulate greater
interest in church music and
choral singing"
At the time these programs were
inaugurated, it was learned that,
in view Of the fact many choirs
lessened their activities during
the summer months, it would not
be feasible to continue the pro-
grams after the hot weather sets
in. Therefore, the series will end
the latter part of June. It is
more than likely that the sponsors
will resume these broadcasts in
the fall.

MILK PRICE PROBE
TO Be CONTINUED
Senate Studies to Be Carried
On After Congress Is
Adjourned.

The gathering of information relating
to milk prices in Washington, particu-
larly with a view to narrowing the
spread between the amounts received by
the producers and the ultimate price
paid by the consumers, will go forward
for several weeks before any definite de-
velopments are expected by the Senate
investigating subcommitte.
Senator Austin (Republican) of Ver-
mont, subcommittee chairman, plans to
leave Washington for a brief period as
soon as Congress adjourns, but he said
today that the collection of data by
Assistant Corporation Counsel Ellwood
Seal will continue, and that he will re-
turn to the city within few weeks to
give attention to the problem.
Meanwhile, the milk and milk prod
ucts section of the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration. Department OF
Agriculture, also is devoting attention
to the Washington milk situation, along
with that IN the rest of the country.
Its chief aim is the stabilization OF
the milk and milk products market, the
prevention of so-called milk wars" and
the resulting unstable markets.
Senator Austin held an informal con-
ference yesterday with representatives
of that agency, which, he said, indi-
Gated that their objectives and the aims
Of the Senate Subcommittee are in
harmony.
Officials of larger Washington dairies
said they planned no kind of price ac-
ton at this time.

D. c. HEADS DRAFT
LIST OF
NEW PUBLIC. WORKS
Surplus in Gas
Tax Revenues Would Be
Used for Projects.
PLANS AWAIT APPROVAL
OF DIRECTOR OF BUDGET
Calvert Street Bridge Over Rock
Greek Reported to Be Included
by Commissioners.

A tentative list of street and highway
Improvements which may be carried
forward during the new fiscal year, sub
ject to approval by the director of the
budget, was compiled today by the Dis
trict Commissioners. This work would
be paid for out of the surplus Of 81 $780,
900 in gasoline tax revenues made avail
able by Congress for projects which will
serve to relieve unemployment here.
The Commissioners declined to make
the list public, since approval by the
Budget Bureau director will be required
before the work can be started.
1t was indicated, however, by some
District officials that the list was
headed by the proposed new Calvert
Street Bridge over Rock Creek, to re-
place the antiquated span there which
has been causing local officials con-
siderable concern for several years.
Awaits Directors Approval.
While Congress specifically listed an
appropriation of $575,000 to start con-
struction of this project. out Of the
gasoline tax surplus funds. approval of
the director of the budget Is being
asked, since this item was contained in
the same clause as others requiring
Budget Bureau approval.
In the case of the Calvert Bridge also
it will be necessary for the District to
obtain approval by the National Com
mission on Fine Arts.
1t was believed also the tentative list
of emergency projects to be forwarded
to the Budget. Bureau would include
the widening of Thirteenth street, be-
tween Massachusetts, avenue and Logan
Circle, the extension of Michigan
avenue to the Soldiers Home grounds,
and the widening and paving Of Con-
stitution avenue from North Capitol to
Second street.
Other Items Listed.
Other items are understood to be
number of those contained in the con-
ference report on the District supply
bill which failed at the past session
of Congress and which were not in
