Improved In health, Fire Chief
Charles E. Schrom returned to his
desk today in the District Building
after a two months leave of alb
Sence.
Chief Schrom revealed that he
had abandoned-for the time be-
ing, at least-all ideas of retiring
from the department. About a
year ago he made application for
retirement, but Commissioner Mel
vim C. Hazen dissuaded him from
pressing his request.
Burdened with worries over in
adequate personnel, equipment
and appropriations for his depart
ment, Chief Schrom also devel-
oped high blood pressure and was
forced to take several terms of
leave for short periods during the
past year. Two months ago Com
missioner Hazen sum mon d
Schrom to his office and ordered
him to take a complete rest in an
effort to regain his health.

Second proof that winter is
upon us.
A discussion of next years
garden''-the garden that is al
most never achieved but great fun
to plan.
We were talking about such
hopes yesterday in the big panelled
library of "Pook's HILL" on the
Rockville Pike. The sun streamed
through the stained glass windows.
A group of garden geniuses
were telling how to raise trailing
orchids, the best method Of
coaxing delphinium to grow in
this climate to the heights Of
glory it achieves in the North
and why lockwood is spared on
one hillside and destroyed by
winter cold in a neighboring
hedge.
Mrs. James Alexander Lyon be-
gan the conversation. DR.. and
Mrs. Lyon had famous big
place near Olney. Their house
is the sort of a place you dream
about or see in theater settings
designed by Joe Mielziner. For
Mrs. Lyon is not only thrillingly
successful with her outdoor and
greenhouse gardens, but she has
the rare talent of making plants
blossom indoors.
Her friends reminded her yes
terday that recently they had
seen in her house in bloom at
one time trailing orchids,
Bougainvillaea vine and smllax
climbing across the windows, an
orange tree with oranges almost
large enough to eat hanging
among its green branches, tupils,
begonias, snapdragonS, roses and
a dozen other plants. In this
fragrant setting tropical birds in
cages were cheerily singing.
Mrs. Lyon answered sue h
praise very modestly. She said
the reason her flowers bloomed
80 well indoors was because she
used no curtains anywhere on
her lower floors. Her house was
full of sunshine and her plants
loved it.
Mrs. Charles Hawley and Mrs
Gilbert Grosvenor Joined the gar
den talk, though Mrs. Grosvenor
at the moment was more inter
ested in clothes. She had just re
turned from New York, where she
had been shopping for her debu
tante daughter, Gloria.
Mrs. Hawley said that she had
persuaded her delphinium to grow
four feet high this summer. He1
secret was tightening their soil
with lime. Or even old bits OF
plaster. Mrs. Lyon said that her
flower beds were half sand and
half earth.

OF MILK
UNBOUND BY
COURT
Producers Group Say
They'll Stick to AAA
Agreement

The temporary injunction re-
straining operation of the local
milk market agreement, issued
yesterday in behalf of IL indie
pendent Maryland producers by
Justice Oscar r. Luhring, is eX-
pected to apply only to the liti-
giants, leaving the majority of pro-
ducers free to get whatever price
they can for their product.
Justice Luhring's memorandum
opinion delivered in United States
District Court approved a request
to restrain the price-fixing pro-
vision of the agreement as It ap-
plies to the IL Maryland pro-
ducerS.
B. B. Derrick, secretary Of the
Maryland and Virginia Milk Pro-
ducers Association, stated, how
ever, that despite Justice Luh-
rings decision, the members OF
his association, who produce 88
per cent of the entire milk sup
ply consumed in the washington
area, are not affected by the de-
ciSion, and would abide by the
A. A. A. milk marketing agree
ment provisions scheduled to go
into effect November /.
The ruling yesterday did not
apply to the amendment to raise
producers prices 4 cents a gallon,
but merely affects the base rating
scheme adopted under the mar
keting agreement September %.
The milk association members
already have approved the
amendment which is scheduled to
be signed by Acting Secretary Of
Agriculture W. R. Gregg, or by
Secretary Wallace if he returns
in time tomorrow.
According to Agriculture Ad-
justment Administration experts,
nothing could be done to the
Maryland-V ir ginia Association
should all of it's members agree
to accept nothing but a AGENT
a-gallon increase for their milk,
