.1-CENT BOOST
IN MILK PRICE
LOOMS HERE
Producers Ask AAA
For Increase in Paw
To Farmers

Paving the way for a possible
1 cent quart increase in the re-
tail price of milk, the directors of
the powerful Maryland-Virginia
Milk Producers Association have
filed with the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration a re-
quest for a Accent a gallon increase
to farmers for all milk sold
through distributors plants or all
milk and cream sold directly to
the consuming public.
The association request was
made on the first day of federal
milk control with Richard D.
Aplin, Boston economist, in charge
of the new marketing agreement
promulgated for the Washington
milk area.
Matthew F. Boyd, vice chair
man Of the Consumers Council of
the District, declared the --latest
development is one reason why
the council has requested a Sena-
torial investigation of the Mary
land-Virginia Association and the
AAA Dairy Section"
Aplin said he saw no reason
why the retail milk price should
be increased even if the request
was granted, while B. B. Derrick,
executive secretary of the asso-
citation, declared the requested in
crease was based on the rise in
the price of feed and labor on
dairy farms since the drought
of this Sumer.

NEW TAXES
OPPOSED BY

Opposition to any new form OF
taxes in the District of Columbia
was expressed today by Senator
Royal S. Copeland CD, New
York, member of the Senate Dis,
trict Committee and the District
subcommittee of the Senate Appro.
priation Committee.
Senator Copeland has just re.
turned from an extended tour
abroad. Informed that a SuggeS-
tion had been made to raise Dis
trict revenues by adding an income
tax or an inheritance tax, Senator
Copeland said:
81 am opposed to adding any
new taxes in the District for one
reason. If you get additional
revenue in that way the lump
sum will be cut down.
ut won't do the District any
good to bring it in with one hand
and lose it out the other. know
that if the District raised its
taxes that is what would happen.
Il think the District should
change its rate of assessment
and raise its real estate tax
and then the Members of
Congress who are causing the
trouble would be satisfied.
"Under the law the District
has to assess its property at
100 per cent and of course
the rate Of levy is low. If
they would cut the assessment
down and raise the tax /
think the solution would be
reached"
In connection with the pro
posed budget for next year,
Senator Copeland said he was
heartily in favor TO DR.. George

clinics in the city and he would

Sam Ansell, son of Brig. Gen.
Samuel T. Ansell, and an up

me about how last weeks hurrl-
cane hit Rehoboth Beach, Della
ware, where his family are now
finishing their summer holiday:
Although the hurricane did lit
tie damage to Rehoboth, it waS'
he says, a terrifying experience.
The wind came up so quickly that
you could see it raging over the
water.
The water, hid by foamlng
spray, rushed hundreds Of feet up
the beach to the dunes.
The force of the ocean carried
out so much sand that the beacn
now looks like it has been scraped
by a great knife. 1t is covered
with thousands of shells washed
from the bottom of the sea.
Before the storm. walking up
the beach beyond the breakwater
was a pleasure. Now the beach IS
six feet lower than the break
water pilingS.
Mr.. Stewart, of Georgetown,
came upon the body of a man
washed ashore from a capslzed
boat a short distance from where
the summer cottagers sit under
their beach umbrellas. The SER
wants quarters of the Hotel Hen
lopen were torn away.
, The boardwalk was wrecked.
Screens on beach front cottages
caught so much sand that you
couldn't see through them. The
corn and garden stuff in the fields
between Denton and the coast and
the trees along the Dupont High
way were laid flat.
The Coast Guard men, those
heroic fellows who will launch a
boat in any kind of tempest, said
that if the 70-mile gale had lasted
another hour the coast would nave
been wrecked.

CHARACTER FUND
URGEDBY CITIZENS
Speaker Says Fruits of Edu-
cation Experiment May
Be Lost.

Restoration 10 the District supply
bill OF $4,000 fund for character
education IN the schools was re-
quested In a resolution adopted last
night by the Chevy Chase Citizens
Association.
This fund, allowed by the Budget
Bureau, but stricken out by the House
Subcommittee on District Appropria-
lions, would allow the character
education experiment, begun in 1885,
to continue another year. Lewis RAD.
cliffe, sponsor Of the resolution, said
that to discontinue the experiment
would result in the total loss of the
money already expended, as no def
mite conclusion could be drawn from
results Of one years operation.
Opposition to the proposal that
property assessments for taxation
purposes be reduced by law from leo
per cent Of the value to 50 per cent.
and that the tax rate be increased
from $50 to So, was expressed. A
resolution favoring the change was
voted down.
In defense Of the resolution, John
r. Manning, VINO introduced It, stated
that, II the change was made, mem
bers of Congress could not then make
unfavorable comparisons between the
tax rates in their home State and
that In the District. Frequent refer
ence has been made in Congress to
the "low' real estate tax In the
District when requests for an addi-
ttona1 Federal contribution were pre-.
scented there.
Leo B. Fee, assistant corporation
counsel, explained the system of
magistrate courts proposed by for
mer Corporation Counsel z. Barrett
Prettyman. He said $4,000 minor
cases, most Of them involving traffic
violations or breaches OF the peace,
were handled by two Police Court
justices last year. These could have
been handled more easily in ueigh-
borhood magistrate courts, allowing
more time to be given to the more
important cases IN Police Court, &C
