CONSUMERS FIGHT.
MILK PRICE RISE
Protest to Secretary WAL
lace Also Hits Slaughter
ina Cows and Calves.

A vigorous protest against any in
crease in the price to consumers of
milk and butter, and against any
slaughtering of calves or mich cows,
was filed with the Secretary of Agri-
culture yesterday in behalf of the
Consumers Council of Washington
by Mrs John Boyle. jr., chairman,
and Msgr. John A. Ryan, vice chair
man.
The proposed program of the A. A.
A., the protest pointed out, would
have the effect of increasing the price
of milk Il a cent a quart and the
price of butter 5 cents pound.
Advance to Consumer.
"If milk costs are increased p cent
this will be reflected in 1-cent ad-
vance to the consumer" the protest
stated. The effect can only be to
place milk beyond the reach of hun
dreds of thousands of unemployed
and underpaid workers, and to cur
tail the consumption of milk by
other large masses of the population
already on the poverty border line.
AN advance of cents per pound
upon butter. no matter how gradu-
ally it may be effected. must result
in the placing of that important food
element beyond the reach of great
numbers of people"
The protest suggested, instead of the
processing tax to be placed on dairy
products. a tax on the profits of in

LOCAL FRANCHISE
PROGRESS VIEWED
Proposals for Reorganiza.
tion Discussed by Joint
Committee.

The various proposals for reorgan-
ization of the District government
including the several plans for vote
less delegate in Congress. were dis
cussed yesterday at joint meeting
of the Citizens Joint Committee on
National Representation and the
Committee on National Representa-
ton of the Washington Chamber o1
Commerce.
The meeting was held in the cham
ber's headquarters. Progress in the
movement to enfranchise the District
was reviewed.
Added Funds Sought.
The discussion centered largely on
the question of providing the means
for more vigorously prosecuting the
campaign through reaching the voters
Of the country and acquainting them
with the governmental conditions at
the Capital and appealing for their
active aid. This. it was agreed, neces-
STATED the raising of additional funds
for expansion of the work from the
Joint Committee headquarters.
There was little interest in the
pending proposals for voteless dele
gate in Congress. and the sentiment
expressed on the subject was tha'
there would be no real advantage tO
the District. The prevailing opinion
was that what the District needs and
is entitled to is voting representation
in the two houses of Congress and
in the electoral college.
1t was emphasized that the District
is as vitally interested in national
legislation as are the people Of any
of the States. and, of course, has at
least as much interest III local legisla-
ton as the people of any of the States
Names New Committee.
The committee voted to appoint a
subcommittee on ways and means to
consider the matter of continuing
financial support and report back to
the chambers committee and the
Finance Committee of the Citizens
Joint Committee at another joint
meeting. Thomas P. Littlepage, the
chairman of these two committees
who presided over the conference
announced the following subcommit-
tee on ways and means:

England's Refusal of Visa Causes

ATHENS, March 28-Mrs. Samuel
insults difficulties appeared today to
be growing.
1t appeared unlikely that France
would grant her more than the tran
sit visa which she now holds and it
was said that she was accorded that
only because England had been named
as her ultimate destination.
England's refusal to grant visa,
however, apparently has wrecked the
usefulness of the French permit.
Since no visa is required for Italy.
there is a possibility that Mrs. insult
MAJ go in that direction.
However, Official quarters no longer
maintain that she will be expelled
as an undesirable alien for assisting
her husband to thwart the police
when he fled Greece. This official
attitude gave rise to the belief that
she may seek to remain in Greece.
