Steps to be taken regarding yes
terday's seizure of truckload Of
alleged bootleg cream at a WASH
ington dairy were under way ut the
District Building today as Agricul-
ture Department officials considered
the advisability Of reopening hear
ings on proposed Washington area
milk marketing agreement.
The driver of a truckload of al
legedly unlicensed cream confiscated
at the Highland Farms Dairy, 1915
First street SW., was free under
$100 bond on a charge of violation
of the Milk Act.
Corporation Counsel Elwood Seal
and Health Department officials,
meanwhile, were reviewing circum-
stances involved in the seizure pre-
paratory to bringing other charges
in connection with the case.
Fear Wide Bootlegging.
Wide-scale bootlegging of cream
under the proposed milk marketing
agreement for the District area was
forecast in brief submitted to the
Agriculture Department by John F..
Hillyard, attorney for the Wakefield
Dairy, who asked officials to re.
open hearings on the agreement.
Under the agreement proposal
which grew out of recent hearings
sponsored by the department, pre-
miums placed on class 2 milk will
have the effect of Immediately in
creasing the price of cream to the
consumer, the brief stated, adding
later, IF this is done it will have
the effect of putting the spotlight
on Western cream, encourage boot
Logging and eventually hurt the pro-
ducers."
officials at the department said
that points brought out in Mr.. Hill
yards brief are being studied thor
oughly and a decision on his request
that the hearings be reopened would
be made within the next several
days

A policeman and an inspector OF
the Health Department. who made

that the truck was loaded in Alex
andria. He said the truck was
parked there Sunday night, but was
being loaded with cream from High
land Farms at the First street plant
for delivery to the firms plant at
1926 Half street Sc when it was
confscated.
Mr.. Seal explained that the
Comico concern has a license to
ship cream into the District for ice

the greatest thrill he ever got out

"This is the greatest night In

majestic flare.
The opening scene was true to
the Cohan tradition. Backstage
of a small vaudeville theater the

born babe in a theatrical trunk:
Whose brat is that?" one of
the women asked.
That's Jerry and Helen Co.

BY NELSON M. SHEPARD.

Washington's slum clearance and
low-rent housing program is being
pushed ahead rapidly on two fronts.
In the Southeast the Alley DWELL
ing Authority has opliterated drab,
unwholesome Navy place, formerly
the city's largest Inhabited alley:
at Minnesota avenue and Ridge
road Sc. it is rearing a colony of
pleasant homes for slum dwellers
in the midst of beautiful suburban
forest.
Taken together, the two projects
offer comprehensive picture of the
plan and purpose behind public
housing program that is taking def
mite shape in more than 100 cities
with the aid of loans from the
United States Housing Authority
Here, as in New York or Los An
geles, it is the beginning of a wide
spread and systematic campaign to
eradicate the worst slum districts.
Now that the substandard prop
critics acquired in Navy place have
been demolished, bids are to be ad-
vertised next week for a contract
to erect on the site some 200 model,
sanitary dwelling units. They will
be for colored families in the lowest
income brackets. Before long house
wrecking crews will appear on an
other site closer to the Navy Yard
which is now being acquired
Gradual Inroads.
For four years the Alley Dwelling
Authority has been making gradual
inroads on the nearly 200 inhabited
alleys in the District, some of which
are so notorious as slums that they
have been publicized throughout the
country. Under the present pro-
gram 1t is preparing to carry on
this work on an unprecedented scale
the funds available being sufficient
to provide new homes for some
$500 families.
Navy place is an out-and-out slum
demolition project. It was bounded
by Sixth and Seventh streets, G
and I streets. In this area were 70
dilapidated structures built about sc
years ago. They have been razed
and the 200 or more families living
in them have found quarters else
where. -Four old stores met the
same fate.
A row OF old slum houses on G
street was left standing They were
outside the alley, anyway, and some

library of Mr.. Cohan. Some 81
of his songs were used. The
dances were supervised by Mr..
and Mrs. John J. Hoffman and
the music directed by Miss Betty
Healy and Joseph Michaloqicz.
The Four Cohans, naturally,
occupied the center of the stage
and the parts were played by
some excellent talent. Jerry
Cohan was portrayed by Paul
Tisdale. Helen Cohan by Mar
garet Mary Edmonston and JOS
ephine Cohan by Marion Wolberg.
Burden of the production fell on
James Graham, in the lead role,
and he was given a real ovation
at the end.
Mr.. Cohan flew to New York
this morning, happy in the
knowledge that he had at last
seen a musical production that
met with his approval 100 per
cent.
1T was a great day for the
Irish," he said.
