IN MILK
PRICE DISTANT

Although fears have been ex-
pressed that the retail price of
milk here may rise / cent a quart
under the new marketing agree
ment for the District milkshed, it
was learned today that the action
is not imminent.
Before a change in milk prices
could be brought about. officials
of The Agricultural Adjustment
Administration pointed out, it
would be necessary to hold public
hearings at which anyone in
terested could testify, and then
any proposal must be approved
by the head of the farm agency's
dairy section and Secretary of
Agriculture Henry A. Wallace.
Hence, officials declare, there
are more safeguards against sud-
den price boosts under the mar
keting agreement than existed
heretofore.
The trouble arose when the
Maryland and Virginia Milk Pro-
ducers Association filed a petit
ton for an increase OF cents
a gallon on milk sold to dis
tributors. Representatives of sew
eral distributors said such a boost
might necessitate a 1-cent rise in
retail prices. Consumer groups
then swung into action against
the proposal.

Sentencing of.Boy, II,
Focuses Attention
On Need for Aid

The siX-month jail sentence pro-
nounced on 17-year-old Tommy
Seward several days ago by Police
Court Judge Robert E. Mattingly,
who found the youth guilty Of
Vagrancy, may result in a more
direct alliance between the courts
and the city's welfare agencies,
according to the tenor of a letter
received today by Judge Mattingly
from j. A. Nolan, secretary of the
Corrections Committee of the
Washington Council of Social
Agencies.
The Seward sentence, which
was subsequently suspended when
the Bureau of Rehabilitation Of
tered the boy a home and the
opportunity to learn a trade, is
only one of the many recently
called to the committees atten.
ton, the letter stated, in point
ing out that the bureau has been
actively engaged in prisoners aid
work for the past six years.
Offers to Cooperate
In his letter, Mr.. Nolan ex.
pressed concern over "the rapid
rise in the population of the
Workhouse" and added:
IF the social agencies could
be OF assistance in working
with the judges, the corrections
committee would be willing to
cooperate in any plans which
the judges might suggest"
Judge Mattingly was also in re-
ceipt of number of other letters
from private citizens expressing
surprise over the fact that there
seemed to be no other recourse
for the jurist but to send the
Seward youth to Jail. Several of
these letters offered constructive
suggestions as to what might be
done with persons in like circum-
stances, all of which, Judge Mat
tlngly said, might be taken into
consideration as similar cases con-
front the courts in the future.
The position taken by the vel.
fare authorities places the respon-
Slblllty for any action in prisoner
aid matters directly in the laps
OF the judges who happen to be
presiding in such cases, since the
Bureau of Rehabilitation frankly
admits its inability to ferret out
all worthy cases from the hun

GOLD AGREEMENT

LONDON, June 5.-The News

had been reached between the United
States and British governments to take
common action in the event the

that not even Parliament Is advised

The controllers of the fund could

CARL CLARIFIES
NEW LEAVE RULES
Charts Course to Be Fol.
lowed in Granting Ab-
sences for Illness.
BY j. A. FOX.

Preparing for the PRONUNCIATION by
President Roosevelt of uniform regu-
lations to administer the new sick and
annual leave laws, Controller General
McCarl today charted the course to
be followed in a decision to the Civil
Service Commission which cleared up
several questions at issue.
One problem arose because of the
difference between the old and the
new leave law. The former effective
until March IA of this year, allowed
80 days sick leave and it was Gus
tomary to grant this in advance if
necessary. The new law allows only
Is days.
McCarl had been asked if leave
taken between JaJnuary l and the
time the new law went into effect
would be allowed to stand without
adjustment, or whether 1t must be
charged.
He replied that the presidential
regulations can adjust this, but that
it is not necessary. Administrative
officers, however, he explained, may
take into consideration the amount
of leave granted under the old law in
determining the amount due this year
under the new.
30-Day Provision Cited.
McCarl emphasized that sick leave,
which now is cumulative at the rate
of one and one-quarter days month,
cannot be granted in advance OF be-
ing earned except under that pro-
vision which allows 80 days to be
taken in emergencies whether earned
or not. If emergency leave is granted,
he added, and the employe leaves
service before the amount taken has
been earned, it will not be necessary
to compensate the Government un-
less the new regulations so provide.
The current sick leave-that is, the
day and a quarter per months due
