The man who sits beside you in
the streetcar won't fold his paper

to you about the war.
1t has brought a new kind of
democracy. Matrons talk to shop

the barber tucks a sheet under his

And so, though bombs and black

very close so close that when
an orchestra plays "The Star

Navy Again Rebuffed
In SquuIus Pay FIGHT

The Navy Department yesterday

lish the right of survivors Of the
Squalus to submarine duty pay
pending salvage operations on the
wrecked vessel or until the vessel
is decommissioned and the officers
and men vino escaped after she
sank May % are formally detached
from her rolls.
A ruling by Assistant Controller
General Richard N. Elliott re-
affirmed an earlier decision by the
controller generals office holding
that the additional pay given sub
marine crews is based on actual
duty aboard a submarine" and ac-
crues only while so serving; that
otherwise only the general Navy
rates apply.
The Navy Department protected
the original ruling, contending that
the law providing for pay and
emoluments" of the officers and men
of wrecked vessels had been too
narrowly interpreted.

DC. 10 Approve
Ohio Milk Depot
Rush Shipments Here
Planned on Busis of
Prompt Inspection

James j. Ward, jr., vice president
Of the Embassy Fairfax Dairy. has
written Health Of1icer George c.
Rutland requesting that a Depart
ment inspector be sent to Ohio to
inspect proposed receiving plant"
from which mil kwculd be shipped
to the District, it was revealed yes
terday.
At the same time it was learned
that Representative William Schultz
of Indiana and Mr.. Ward called
on Commissioner Hazen at the Dis
trict Building Friday. Mr.. Schultz
sponsored bill in the last session
of Congress to open the local milk
market to outside supply.
Meanwhile, Acting Health Officer
Daniel Seckinger sought opinion
from Corporation Counsel Elwood
Seal and the Commissioners as to
whether the dairy's request could
be granted. He also wanted to know
if the Commissioners would make
available funds to finance the in
spection trip.
Arrangements Being Made.
In his letter to DR.. Rutland, Mr..
Ward said the dairy is now making
definite arrangements" to obtain
milk from certain Ohio farmers.
"At the same time" he declared,
"it is our purpose to build and pur-
chase a receiving plant in Ohio to
receive milk from the farmers there
for shipment to the District Of
Columbia"
Neither the farmers nor the dairy
is willing to go to the expense. he
said, unless I'VE know definitely that
there will be no difficulty encoun-
tered in getting inspections by your
department"
Mr.. Ward continued that he saw
no reason in law or fact why the
inspections should not be made. but
said he wanted to know in advance
what to expect.
Want Prompt Inspections.
! A number of Ohio farmers. he said,
have pledged they will comply with
District health regulations to enable
/ Shipment OF their milk here for fluid
consumption just as soon as they
have definite assurances that the
inspections will be promptly made"
The request reopens the milk ques-
ton which produced some of the
most dramatic scenes in the last
/ session of Congress as it was aired
before a special investigating sub
committee of the House District
/ Committee. Debate was heated par
ticularly between Corporation Coun-
sci Seal and Representative Schultz.
Charges that dictographs had been
placed in the House Office Building
caused furor among members of
Congress and inspired special in
vestigation at Speaker Bankhead's S
orders.

In newspaper Offices, reporters

Have you telephoned anybody in

The housewives who listened to
folksy radio dramas of morning
switch the dial impatiently because
another station may have a news

They'll listen to the same news
