AAA To ABANDON
MILK CONTROL

Plans for controlling the pro-
duction of milk on a nationwide
scale probably will be dropped
by the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration, it was learned
today.
Criticism of the scheme from
dairy farmers and distributors all
over the country apparently has
convinced AAA officials that they
cannot gain cooperation for any
general milk reduction campaign.
The plan to be eliminated
would have asked individual farm.
ers to reduce their production Is
per cent. Processing taxes on
butterfat would have been turned
back to the producers cooperating
in the form of benefit payments.

Jobs for White Collar
Workers PLEDGED

Emergency jobs for white collar
workers are being planned by Fed
eral Emergency Relief Admins
traitor Harry L. Hopkins.
The administrator said he rec
ognizes the plight of the jobless
hite-collar workers as one of the
most serious problems confronting
the Emergency Work Administra-
ton. He revealed he is ready to
establish a special unit to inter-
view such workers and to attempt
to find suitable relief for them.
The administrator stipulated.
however. that whatever aid iS
extended will be strictly on the
basis of need. He declared:
"We've got to find something
for these people to do. We want
to put such persons to work
on jobs they are fitted for, and
not ASST gn them to work utterly
foreign"
Mr.. Hopkins indicated the spe-
cial units to handle these workers
probably will be established in
relief centers where professional
persons could act as interviewerS
and advisers to find out what
work applicants for aid could do
best.
He said he had not yet esti.
mated what this program will
cost the FERA.

limiting that the United States
Army is dangerously small" Sec
retary of War Dern made an ap-
peal for a well-equipped, modern
army, during an address before
the Military. Order of the World
War last night.
He declared there should be an
increased use of armored cars and
tanks, saying:
"The infantry of the old
school would be just machine
gun fodder in the next war. If
we want to win battles with
minimum loss of life we must
put our infantrymen into tanks
and armOred cars"
The Secretary'S appeal came
after he had reviewed about $50
military units marching in the
Army Day parade, in which 5000
men participated.
More than 10000 persons turned
out to watch the Army, Navy,
Marine Corps and other units in
parade to celebrate the seven
teenvh anniversary of the nations
declaration of war against the
Central Powers.
Beginning at the Capitol at
1880, the marcherS paraded down
Pennsylvania Avenue to Fifteenth
Street to Constitution Avenue
and past the reviewing stand. In
the stand, besides Secretary Dern,
were Col. George E. Ijams, COM
mander of the Military Order of
the World War and other mill
tary and diplomatic officials.
Maj. Gen. Paul B. Malone
headed the parade.
President Roosevelt, on vaca-
ton in southern waters, wired

TUBERCULOSIS
SEEN BRED IN
D. {. SLUMS
Surest Remedy for Situation
Here Is Alley Cleanup,
DR.. Fowler Holds

Slum and alley dwellings in
the District are the breeding
nests of tuberculosis here, DR..
william c. Fowler, District health
officer stated, today.
One of the best ways to check
the white plague, he asserted, is
to remove the local point of in
fection. He stated:
Worst Among COlOred Here
"In my opinion home con-
ditiOns are the most important
factors in checking the dis
ease. The cOl0red population
of the District is particularly
subject to the illness and this
is attributable to the crowded
dwellings and Slums.
Tuberculosis among the.
white population in Washing
ton is low and compares
favOrabIy witt any city in The
United States"
DR.. Fowler heads the commit
tee which will make thorough
study of methods of treatment
and disqualification facilities.
With this committee, he said,
lies the duty of investigating
the means of lowering the high
death rate due to tuberculosis.
Office CrOwding Danger
Commenting on the crowded
conditions prevailing in Govern
ment departments, both munici.
pal and Federal. DR.. Fowler said
there is no way of knowing what
part these have in spreading the
disease, but added:
"Of course any crOwding Of
persons into rooms spreads
germs and disease"
It was pointed out that al
though the high death rate from
the disease is caused by the large
percentage of infection among
the colored population, the daily
contact in homes and offices is
a factor in spreading the lntec'
ton.
Colored workers coming from
the crowded districts carry in
lection with them when they go
to work, it was said.

Consideration of several Dis

Among the proposals likely to
come before the committee is one
recently recommended by the
Commissioners to transfer to
those District heads the author
tiles and powers of the Board of
Public Welfare. Another is that
on which hearings were closed
this week regulating the fore
closure of mortgages and deeds

Commissioners Plan to Apply
For PWA Loan; Congress
0kay Necessary

Raising funds for the construc-
tiop of public works in the Dis
trict was under consideration by
the District Commissioners to.
day.
Commissioned George E. Allen
announced he was seeking an ap-
pointment with Secretary Ickes
for the early part of next week.
Whether. a PWA grant can be
obtained on an outright basis or
on a 1890 per cent basis will be
discussed at the meeting.
Must Borrow Money
# the District will have to
share 70 per cent of the expense
of the works program, there is q
likelihood that it will have to Dor.
row money to meet the obliga-
tion.
Commissioner Allen declarede
"I am not opposed to intelli.
gent borrowing, but 1 would
first have to be satisfied that
the results would justify going
into debt"
He said he had no idea of the
amount of money necessary for
the public works, but announced
that programs ranging from costs
of five to 20 million dollars were
under consideration.
Sales Tax Seen
Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen
said such debts may have to be
met by small sales tax or by
an increase of the gasoline tax.
Both Commissioners asserted
that a raise in taxes would be
considered only as a last resort.
Another alternative under con.
Sideration is the repayment Of
the loan over a period of a mum.
ber of years, money to be raised
by economies in other government
departments.
Needs Congress o. X.
Any plans of borrowing money
will have to be approved by
Congress, Commissioner Allen
said.
Among the projects listed are
the tuberculosis hospital, sewage
disposal plant, municipal center
and a number of schools ard
libraries.
Secretary Ickes said today that
he was willing to meet the Com.
missioners at an early date, but
that he has no idea of how the
District will borrow money to
meet its end of the obligation.
