MILK INCREASE
!. Of MORE THAN L
AQUART FEARED
Brief by A. L. Thompson
Asks A. A. A. for Amend
ment Modification.
HIGHER COST TO HIM
SIPS CENTS PER HWT.
Amounts to Nearly IA Cents
Quart, Says Head of Dairy
Handling Large Supply.

The price OF milk in Washington
will go up more than 1 cent a quart
if the producers get the increase they
are asking for, A. L. Thompson, presi-
dent of Thompson's Dairy, which
handles IS per cent Of the milk sold
in the District, told the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration today.
In brief setting forth his thoughts
about the proposed amendment to
the milk-marketing agreement which
would raise the producers price.
Thompson asked for a modification
of the amendment, adding:
at is earnestly submitted that the
order should be so amended as to re-
suit in an increase by the order, as
amended. Of an even l cent per quart.
Such action would inevitably result
IN giving to the producer the MAXI
mum benefit, 100 per cent. OF what
appears to be an inevitable increase
to the consumer"
Cost Higher TO Thompson.
Thompson said that on the effective
date of the marketing agreement and
order, September 81, the cost to him
of his milk went up II cents a
hundredweight. and that the proposed
amendment raises cost by another
52.25 cents a hundredweight.
"The increases made by this order
and proposed to be made by the
amendment, therefore, total approx.
mately 6325 cents per hundredweight,
or approximately SIS cents per gallon
or nearly IA cents per quart" Thomp.
| son said.
"Such an increase must be met by
| the consumers. The factors OF in
creased cost which argue for increases
to producers are equally applicable to
distributors and some of these factors
applicable to distributors do not bear
directly on the producers.
All Materials Higher.
"AIl materials have substantially in-
creased since the retail price was last
figured Labor costs have increased
materially. General taxes have, Of
course, materially increased, and the
cost of pay roll assessments now being
set and shortly to be increased. is a
tremendous factor in the cost of a
business like that of distributing milk
where so large part of the total cost
is pay roll.
"In the history Of Thompson's
dairy during the last SIS years. there
has never been an increase in the
retail price of milk in excess of I
cent a quart at any one time. Tho
necessity of passing on to the con.
sumers in one form or another an
increase in excess of l cent per quart
which would arise under the order
and the proposed amendment is to be
avoided If possible"

Visitors the World Ouer Marcel
At Electrical Farms Cadets
ROsedale Has Guide to ShO,U HO,u Volts
Keep Stock Penned and Pitch Hay.
4a.m., H0,Uerer Still Is Milking Hour.

Yankee Is hemmed in by two strands
of barbed wire, charged with 80 volts.
Hughes turned down the $40, but
offered to give the sportsmen all the
butter, milk and cheese they could use
If his pig left her home. Yankee
stayed where she was.
"She used to be one of the worst
rogues and chicken eaters they had
on the farm" Hunt said. There
wasn't anything that could hold her"
But electricity has ended the ma
raudings of Yankee, the untamed sow.
She was shocked once and she's not
going to try 1t twice. The jazz wire
cuts down fencing costs by 80 per cent.
There is a 6-mile strand of this wire
wound around the fields and pens Of
Rosedale to control horses, cattle and
mules as well as Yankee.
Effective without Charge.
The wire is so effective that eventu-
ally 1t doesn't even need the Juice.
Cows which used to crash ordinary
fences are afraid Of the wire. An elec-
trician left the current of one night
and was fearful the next morning that
the stock would have wandered away,
but the COWS stayed put.
The Rosedale COW is MIXED elec-
trically in four minutes. She Is sprayed
with a shoo-fly goo by an electric
pump. She eats meal ground by elec-
tricity, and she drinks from an electric
water fountain. She is clipped by
electricity every two weeks. and her
hay is pitched with an electric fork.
Everything is swell for the COW, but
Randolph Hughes remarked:
1--WE still have to get up at 4 o'clock
to milk them"
At 4 am. artificial sunshine Is just
beginning to wake the chickens in
the hen house. Violet ray lamps add
five hours to their day, and they lay
20 per cent more eggs than they did
in the days before July, when they
went to bed with the sun in the sky.

COOPERATION is URGED
BY ARABS AND JEWS
Samuel Blames Wealthy Land
owners for Disorders in
Holy Land.

Close cooperation between Jewish
and Arab leaders, especially wealthy
landowners, was urged last night by
Maurice Samuel as the only means
of aleviating disorder between the
two peoples in the Holy Land.
Speaking in the first Of the Ma
tional Jewish Forum Winter lecture
series at the Jewish Community Cen
ter. Samuel placed the burden Of guilt
upon wealthy Arab landowners. He
said landowners, fearing restlessness
among serfs, due to improved stand
ards Of living brought about by Zion
ist immigrants, had aroused religious
feeling against the newcomers.
Not only has the disorder been
brought about by increase in Jewish
population and wealth, which has
tended to make the share-cropping
existence of the Arabs seem made
quate, but by an increase of Arabs,
amounting to 100000 since the war,
Samuel brought out.
Samuel returned from six months
visit to Palestine few days ago.

RDPLEAHEARD
ONL|NC0LN ROAD.
Cemetery WithdraWs 0biec-
ton to Street Closing
Sought by College.

For the third time, the District Com
held public hearing today
on the proposal of Trinity College
to close Lincoln road northeast, from
Franklin street to Michigan avenue,
which heretofore has been opposed by
Glenwood Cemetery, whose property
lies Immediately south of the campus.
The cemetery, however, has with
drawn its objections, leaving the Pc
tition of the college unopposed.
The plan calls for extension Of
Franklin street across the south bor-
der line of the campus, and donation
of additional land by the school at the
intersections Of Franklin and Fourth
streets and Michigan avenue and
Fourth street, so that the corners may
be rounded, rather than remain as
right-angle turns.
The property offered by Trinity Is
$1,000 square feet more than the sec
ton of Lincoln road which the COL
lege has asked to have closed.
Trinity. which owns land on both
the east and west sides of Lincoln
road, argued that use of the thorough
fare has retarded development of the
college.
The college was represented by Dam
iel w. O'Donaghue, jr. Ringgold
Hart, counsel for Glenwood Cemetery,
also appeared, but since his client had
withdrawn opposition, took no part.
A number of citizens also expressed
favor Of the proposal.
If the Commissioners approve the
closing Of the road, the change will
have to be approved by the commit
tee on the permanent highway plan
before it can be carried out.

ARMY AND NAVY
BID FOR FLYERS
Former Expected to Offer
Greater Inducements to
Attract EIigibies.

Competition between the Army and
Navy for air-minded young manhood
of the Nation to man their fast
growing air forces has placed male
citizens between 18 and IS. with the
necessary physical and educational
qualifications, in a position to pick
and choose, where only year or two
ago they were forced to wait In line
The latest development in the race,
it was learned today at the War De-
partment, Is the plan of the Army
Air Corps to ask the next Congress
for appropriations to extend the period
of active duty training for graduates
of its training school at Randolph
Field, Tex, from two years to four
Two or three years ago a flying cadet
who received his wings from the
training center was lucky to get q
year to wear them.
The rules requiring secrecy for
budget estimates before they have
been acted on by the Budget Bureau
make it impossible to learn much
about the additional appropriation
needed for the Plan, but it is UNDER
stood it includes not only an extern
sion Of the active duty tour after
graduation from two to four years, but
also a bonus of $500 at the end Of the
tour. Moreover; it contemplates pro-
vision for $50 Reserve officers for a
second year! of active duty, instead OF
only ESQ as at present.
An applicant Of few years ago who
waited, perhaps for a year or two for
his name to rise gradually to the top
Of the waiting list in the Air Corps
files, would find his head In whirl
at the way things are moving nova
days. Recently an applicant in his
fourth year in college was accepted,
given a physical examination and as
signed to the next class, all within
a month. He had to ask for a
postponement to permit him to grad
uate.
The reason the Air Corps waiting
list, which has remained at about
1000 for several years, is approach
ing the vanishing point at q rapid
rate are increased personnel required
for the huge. modern planes, and
the Navy.

'ADM|TL0|S KEMP,
BALL0U U|S0RDERED
Judge Bailey Enters Formal
Order to Schools on
Virginia Girl.

A formal order directing Supt. Of
Schools Frank w. Ballou to permit
enrolment at Gordon Junior High
School of 11-year-old Lois Kemp OF
Clarendon, Va, was entered on the
records of the District Court today by
Justice Jennings Bailey.
The jurist last week decided Dis
trict statute makes it mandatory on
school officials to admit children of
nearby Maryland and Virginia resi-
dents who are employed in the Dis
trict, but reserved issuing the formal
order until counsel for the schools
had opportunity to amplify the record.
Appeal Noted Immediately.
Immediately upon issuance Of the
writ of mandamus, which had been
requested by Lois father, John S.
Kemp, Works Progress Administra-
ton official, Assistant Corporation
Counsel Vernon E. West noted an
appeal from the ruling. The appeal
will operate to suspend the writ until
the Court of Appeals acts.
Corporation Counsel Elwood H. Seal
and West planned. however, to con-
fer with DR.. Ballou tomorrow to de-
ternine whether they will permit
Lois to enter Gordon Junior High
before the appeal is disposed of.
Attorney Robert E. Lynch said it
had been found that there is sufti-
cient room in Gordon for Lois with
out overcrowding.
He said that if It is necessary he
personally will urge school officials
to take her in while the litigation is
in progress so as to keep her from
losing year in school.
Denies officials Have Discretion.
Justice Bailey said the law left
school authorities without any discre-
ton as to whether nonresident pupils
should be given equal treatment with
resident children, regardless OF
whether the schools were overcrowded. l.
Because of unusually congested con-
ditions in the junior high schools, DR..
Ballou, with approval of the Board
of Education, ordered this Fall that
non-residents should not be enrolled
in the Junior high schools unless they
had attended such schools last year.

FISCAL RELATIONS
GROUP TO RETURN
HERE NOVEMBER7.
Further Public Hearings Un.
likely, but More Data
Desired. R
PLAN MAY BE READY
WITHIN 2 MONTHS
Roberts Expected to Submit Re-
ports and Details on D. c. Gov.
eminent Reorganizing.

Members Of President Roosevelt's
Special Fiscal Relations Investigating
Committee scattered to various parts
o the country today, carrying with
them for study the mass of evidence
submitted during two days of public
hearings showing the justification for
a substantial increase in the Federal
payment toward District expenses.
George McAneny. chairman of the
committee, returned to New York
City and his duties as president Of
the Title Guarantee Trust Co. To
louisville went James w. Martin,
chairman of the Kentucky State Tax
Commission.
The third member, Clarence A.
Dykstra, went back to Cincinnati,
where he is city manager. Only the
director of the fiscal relations study
j. L. Jacobs. Chicago efficiency engi-
neer and tax expert, remained in
Washington.
To Discuss Conclusions.
The committee members will return
to Washington November and dis
cuss their individual conclusions with
Jacobs. Within two months after that
date they hope to have on the Presi-
dents desk definite plan which they
believe will solve the perplexing fiscal
relations problem.
Pending return Of the committee
members, Jacobs said he would con-
tinue to gather information which
may be of value in the comprehensive
study of the problem. He indicated it
Is unlikely that any additional public
hearings would be held, although he is
anxious for any individual or organi-
Eation to submit information.
Jacobs also hopes to have by No.
vember 7 information which he re-
quested during the hearing from Will
liam A. Roberts, retiring peoples
counsel. This includes reports on the
proposed reorganization of the District
government resulting from an ex-
haustive study Roberts made several
years ago in conjunction with Lewis
Douglas, then budget director, and
Maj. Daniel j. Donovan, District audi
tor and budget officer. =.
Outline of Roberts Plan.
Also included is a detailed outline
Of Roberts plan for solving the fiscal
relations problem through creation of
q permanent fact-f1nding commission
that would annually determine the
equitable share of the Federal pay
ment toward operation and mainte-
nance of the municipal government.
Throughout the remainder Of the
study, Jacobs and the committee ex-
pect assistance from a special liaison
committee which the Citizens Joint
Committee on Fiscal Relations has
been requested to create The Presi-
dents committee was so impressed
with the presentation of the Citizens
Joint Committee that it urged that a
representative group of three be
named to continue to work with it in
arriving at a solution of the fiscal re-
lations problem.
The Citizens Joint Committee pre-
sented a 246-page argument for fiscal
equity and its vice chairman. Edward
F. Colladay, supplemented that with
o vigorous verbal plea.

NAVYPLANSSHOW
HERE TOMORROW:
100000 Expected to See
Plane Flights, Deep Sea
Diving and ParadeS.

The Navy is clearing the decks to-
day for its annual day at home"
Navy day, the annual observance
sponsored by the Navy League of the
United States, will be celebrated to-
morrow. The observance comedies
with the birthday anniversary of the
late President Theodore Roosevelt, one
of the Navy's foremost champions.
It is the Navy's traditional open
house date for the public, and in vir-
United States and outlying territories
the Navy will be "at home" to civilians
aboard scores Of war vessels, including
units of the Battle Force on the Pa
cific Coast, which have been especially
designated for that purpose.
100000 Expected Here.
At the Washington Navy Yard a
crowd of 100000 persons, the largest
ever. is expected. They will see air
flights, deep-sea diving, band concerts,
parades and drills, life-Saving demon
strations, various activities of civilian
workmen in shops and a sham battle.
In its efforts to attain, by 1912, a
fleet of the full strength authorized
by existing treaties. the Navy may be
called on to make far-reaching de-
cisions in at least two respects before
another Navy day arrives. This years
will be the last under the system OF
fleet limitations now governing the
worlds sea powers.
The Washington and London
treaties placing limits on the strengths
of navies terminate at the end OF
1896, and with them all international
restrictions on the number of war
vessels that may be built. Expiring
at the same time is the agreement
of the United States, Great Britain
and Japan not to construct new FORTH
fications in their Pacific possessions.
Other Powers Activities.
Whether the United States will be
Influenced by the building activities
of other powers to exceed its present
fiye-year construction program may
be determined by world events OF the
near future. Already, authorization
has been given the President by
Congress to order two new battle
ships If he considers them necessary.
The question whether this Gov
ernment will embark on program OF
construction of naval bases and forti-
fications in its outlying Pacific terri
tories-the answer to which depends
upon what other countries do in this
connection-also bulkS large in naval
policies for the immediate future.
Ninety-five new war vessels for the
American feet already are being
built or have been appropriated for.
Forty more will be needed before
1912 If the Navy is to reach full
treaty strength by that time.

POLLOCK ALSO
HAD BIG PART
IN EARLY DAYS

1t is a strange coincidence that
George Pollock, now working on
the canal section above Laguna
dam. also was associated with the
builders Of the headWOrks at the
present irrigation system.
IT was in 1913 that his company
constructed the lockwood Intake
at Hanlon Heading near Andrade.
Today, he is taking an active part
~ the new project which. as far as
imperial Valley is concerned, will
brand the old job as obsolete
The Pollock company Is strictly
a California concern, though many
Of its important Jobs have been in
nearby states For 25 years. its
growth has centered on Pollock
himself, prominent California
contractor with large agricultural
interests as a side line.
Pollock was a pioneer in reclama-
ton work in the Sacramento valley,
and brought into California the first
drag lines ever used here. The town
of Pollock, Calf, was named for
him and it was there that he built
the bridge across the Sacramento
river.
In 1916 he was connected with the
construction of the highest concrete
aryh in the state, the highway
bridge across the Pitt river at Red
ding.
More recently, in 1885, he erected
the M street bridge. better known
as the Tower bridge, at Sacramento,
million dollar job.
These are only a few Of the many
California projects with which the
company has been connected, in
cluding one of the biggest road con
tracts ever let in California, con
tract for a section of the coast high
way in Monterey county, involving
the removal Of more than 100000
yards of rock.
Pollock maintains his interest in
farming, being one Of the largest
asparagus producers in the Sacra-
mento valley, and operates ranches
at NicolauS and ClarkSburg.

FARM GIVES
HOMES TO WORKMEN

The George Pollock company
solved the housing question for
company employees in a unique
manner.
When surveying the field, Adolf
Haidlen, field superintendent, heard
that the former government ac-
climation camp, we'll known under
the nickname of Monkey Farm"
was deserted.
After looking over the farm
carefully, he concluded that with
only a minimum of effort and eX-
pense the. buildings which former
ly housed the governments floral
experts, could be cleaned and paint
ed. The result is that today, Haid-
len and the families of eight fore
men and sub-bosses, are living in
unusual GOODNESS and comfort with
in a Short distance of the Pollock
company job.
Camp Laid Out
To house the rest Of the many
company employees and their fam
lilies, a modern campsite was lSid
out under heavy trees by the riv-
er's edge just above Laguna dam.
Airy, screened houses were erect
ed and a water system installed.
A complete sewage system was
Imperial Valley press., 1936-06-14

built, sufficient TO take care of the
camp itself and the abmting camp
of the Lewis Construction company,
sub-contracting firm of the George
Pollock company.
In the Pollock company camp,
there are approximately 40 fam
lies with all the conYeniences Of
home including electric lights and
refrigeration, and in a few inStan-
ces, home made air-cooling equip
ment. The camp is kept clean and
neat and visitors are prohibited
from entering.
Residents do not lack for rec
reation as the river at their very
doors offers bathing and fishing
which has become the popular pas
time OF the area.
The Lewis camp differs from the
Pollock company camp in that it
is composed mostly of tents, other
temporary shelters, and auto trail
ers. Together, the camps which
are only partly visible to passing
motorists compose an extensive set
tlement of several hundred people.

Today, a total of rs men, divided
into two shifts of 8 hours each, are
at work on the Pollock job. Some
are drillers, some are drivers, some
are in the all-important shops
13here spare parts totaling thou
sands of dollars are maintained for
all equipment so that repairs can
be made without delay.
No one can view the extensive
job day or night and not be i'm
pressed with the fact that despite
the large area that such outdoor
factories cover, organization must
be perfect in order to operate so
efficiently.
