CHEAPER MILK
PROPOSED FOR
INSTITUTIONS
NonProfit Corporation
Plan of Consumer
Council Group

Proposal for the formation Of a
nonprofitmaking corporation to
supply hospitals, child welfare
agencies, orphanages and similar
institutions with milk at prices
approximately 5 cents lower per
quart than they are now paying
was detailed today to Commits
sioner Melvin C. Hazen by a dele
cation of the Consumers Council
Of the District.
The delegation was composed
of Mrs. John Boyle, jr., chairman;
Right Rev. MSgr. John A. Ryan,
first vice chairman; Matthew
Boyd, second vice chairman, and
Mrs. Huston Thompson, member
Of the board of the council.
Commissioner Hazen, members
Of the delegation said, expressed
sympathy with the proposal and
advised the delegates to call
upon the officials of the Health
Department, Board of Public
Welfare and Corporation Coun-
sells office for aid in the forma-
ton of their plans.
Plan Explained
Mrs. Boyle and Mr.. Boyd said
1t was proposed to form the cor
poration through public and semi
public institutions, which pur-
chase huge supplies of milk for
children and invalids. They said
each institution would make a
contract with the corporation to
supply it with milk.
Under the plan, the corpora
ton then would go directly to the
farmer and contract to take over
his entire milk production at a
flat price per gallon.
Through public bidding, the
delegation explained, the milk
then would be turned over to a
local distributor for pasteurizing,
bottling and delivery.
The delegation said the ma
jority of the institutions today are
paying Is cents a quart for milk.
Under the corporation plan, it
was estimated that the milk could
be purchased from the farmer at
6 cents a quart and the pasteuriz-
ing, bottling and delivery arrange
ment could be worked out at a
price of 2 cents a quart, making
milk available to the institution
at 8 cents quart.
Rebate to Stop
Mrs. Thompson, who is a mem
Der of the board of the Hillcrest
Children'S Village, said the insti-
tuition pays $3.50 a month for
milk alone. The dairy from which
it has been buying the milk has
been giving the home rebate in
the form of donation to the
home fund of cents a quart.
The dairy now has notified the
home it will stop the rebate.
The delegation pointed out that
such District institutions as Gal
linger Hospital, the tuberculosis
Sanitarium and others operate on
a similar plan. They purchase
their milk supply through COM
petitive bidding and get it for 8.4
cents a quart.

Suffering a serious knife wound
over the heart, John Linwood
Bailey, SO, brother of Claude
Bailey, the slain Tri-State gang
Ster, and himself a police Charac-
ter, was in Mt. Alto Hospital today,
living up to the code of the under
world and refusing to talk to police.
1t was early in the morning Of
August IA, police learned, that
Bailey was stabbed as he stood in
front of the Hamilton Hotel talk
ing with two men. Two days later
he was taken to the hospital, but
not report of the nature Of the
wound was made to police until
yesterday.
Detective Sergeants George Oar
nell and Jerry Flaherty went to
the hospital, but Bailey refused to
discuss the case with them.
He has a police record of q
arrests dating back as far as 1916.
His brother, Claude, was shot to
death while attempting to escape
from Lorton Reformatory about
a year ago, and John was arrested
nearby in a taxicb. Claude Bailey
was named by police as driver of
the death car in the Allen B.
Wilson murder.

Ken Murray
Says:

That Spanish trouble is GER
tainly making the future easy
for their census taker, judging
by the size of the death lists. ..
Well, say what you want, to hold
a political office over there, a
guy really has to be a straight
shooter.
OF course, each side believes
its party is right, but from the
way they're going about it, there
won't be anybody left to prove it.
1t seems the main trouble with
the Spaniards is that they
haven't had self government
long enOug h. After they've
been at it as long as the United
States they'll discover they're no
better off regardless of which
side wins.
So remember:
The road to glory most always
has a dead-end.

LOTUS DENIES
FIDELITY LOSS
ISS2OO,0OO
Believes Return Of
SIS, 900 Dividend Will
Restore SoIvency

Scouting preliminary Treasury
reports that the loss of the Fidelity
Building and Loan Association will
approximate 100000. Don LOTUS,
Washington and Alexandria build
err, who is chairman of the deposi-
tors committee, yesterday voiced
the belief that repayment by the
directors of the $4,000 dividend
recently declared, would restore
the institution to Solvency.
The committee held a closed
meeting again last night at the
Washington Hotel and at the con-
clusion announced that another
meeting will be held tomorrow
night at which the trustees of
the closed institution will be in
vited to explain how the loss &C.
Cured.
A request will also be made to
the receiver of the Fidelity. LOTUS
said, for office space and tele-
phone privileges in the building,
in order that representatives of
his committee might work with
the receiver and relieve him of
some of the work of answering
queries of the depositor-stock-
holders.
Even if the capital structure of
the institution is impaired, Lotus
indicated last night, it cannot be
impaired to the extent of $780,
900 as first estimated by the Of
flee of the Comptroller of hte
Currency. The latter will be
asked to cancel the $4,000 divi-
dend paid shortly before the in
stitution closed its doors, the COM
mittee chairman said. This con-
tribution to the capital structure
will enable the institution to re-
sumo business on solvent basis,
according to LOTUS calculations.

LIQUOR PERMIT
LIST BANNED

A policy established by the Dis
trict Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board against considering reis-
Suance of liquor license for five
years after it once had been re-
voked, has been discarded by the
District Commissioners.
Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen,
explaining his view toward the
A. B. C. board policy, said:
81 don't believe in precedents.
1 believe each case should be de.
cided up its own merits. The
action in this case does not
mean that we will take the same
action in similar cases in the
future"
Sitting with capt. Patrick H
Tansey, Assistant Engineer Com
missioner, in the absence of Com
missioners George E. Allen anc
Dan I. Sultan, Commissioner Ha
zen upset the A. B. C. Boarc
policy in the case of Ctrillo Mag
GENT, proprietor of the May
flower Lunch, at 1923 Seven
tenth st. N. w. He was con
victed of selling liquor to two
policemen on Sunday, June 81.
The board revoked Maggenti's
license. He appealed to the Com
miSsioners, who sustained the re
vocation but recommended if he
applied for a new license next
February / his application be
given consideration.
