District Milk Problem
Attacked From Many ANGLES.

While the House District Com
mittee will probably resume its
investigation of the milk problem
there are two others under way.
The Department of Agriculture,
through the Division of Market
ing and Marketing Agreements.
will hold hearings at 10 o'clock
am. on November 20, 81 and %.
This will be on a proposed mar
keting agreement order to regu-
late the handling of milk for the
District.
The chief feature Of the agree
ment would be a schedule of fixed
prices to be paid by the distrib-
utors to the producers of milk
for their product. The agreement
would set an especially low price
for milk to be sold to families on
relief.
The first of these hearings will
be at the Courthouse in Warren
ton, Va; the second day at the
Winchester Hall, Frederick, Md,
and the third day in the audi
forum, South Building. Agricul-
ture Department. Washington.
The Federal Thade Commits
sion is investigating some phases
of the local milk problem, based
on complaints filed with the
commission. This is a prelimi-
nary investigation, and in keep
ing with the uniform practice OF
the commission the particulars
will not be disclosed until the

lions Is q result Of the first gen.
eral membership campaign In
1919 with the organization Of the
Stanton Park Citizens Associa-
ton. When the Citizens Advi-
sorry Council was formed in 1925
he was elected a member and at
the first meeting of the council
was selected as its recorder.
As q seasoned veteran in the
assembly of the Federation, Mr..
Sttll recognizes serious handi-
caps to the work Of the Fedora
ton through financial limitations
and the consequent lack of q per-
manent headquarters. A number
Of his predecessors have been
confronted by the same problem
and similar ambition. These pre-
decessors in the office of presi-
dent are all hoping that the time
Is now ripe and that ways and
means may be found for really
bringing this important repre-
sentative body into It's own.
The constituency of the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations
is estimated to be in excess of
10000. An attempt is now under
way to ascertain the exact num-
Der of individual members on the
rolls of each of the member or
CARNATIONS.
Dues in the Federation are uni
form from all members bodies,
being $40 per year. The neigh
borhood group with only so MEM
bers pays exactly the same as that
with $500 members. There has
always been strong opposition to
graduating the dues according to
ability to pay. While the Fed
Grafton has gone on record re-
peatedly for local taxation based
on ability to pay it has always
baked at applying that principle
to its own Federation finances.
That. apparently, is regarded as
"a horse of different color"
There are those in the Fedora
ton who contend that there
should be no real difficulty in
providing a headquarters Office
and an Office secretary for group
backed by at least 10000 people.
These far-seeing ones see the ad-
vantages which would accrue to
every member group through such
an establishment. They can see
the efficiency and the prestige of
the federated citizens increased
many times with big dividends in
new members and influence.
President Stull has many other
worthwhile ambitions the reali-
cation of which will be of distinct
benefit to the organization which
he heads and the District of Co.
lumbia. Civic leaders all Join in
wishing the new administration
the most abundant success.

The Community Chest Now,
Other Problems Must Wait.

The 1910 Community Chest
Campaign got of to a fine start
Wednesday and the first report
meeting showed $486.O77 in
pledges. This is better than the
amount reported at the first
meeting last year.
The goal for 1910 is $4,000, 900
and every dollar is needed. It
can be reached If every one will
do their utmost. There are many
civic problems dependent upon
the Community Chest for solu-
ton. BY every one doing his or
her bit-by giving until it really
hurts-these problems will be
handled in an efficient and sat-
isfactory manner. If we fail to
each do our part many of these
problems will remain to plague us
through the year and come up in
a succeeding year in a far more
aggravated form.
Yes, the Chest Campaign has
made a fine beginning. but there
must be no relaxation through
overconfidence. Success can
only come through sincere, ear
nest and persistent effort and
personal generosity.
When this campaign has been
put over in big way and the
quota reached and exceeded then
with a clear conscience and re-
newed confidence all can buckle

All of these phases of the local
milk problem are very complex
and require expert examination.
There is small group scattered
through the various civic bodies
who express conviction that an
immediate reduction in the retail
price can be obtained through
stoppage in the waste of milk
bottles. So far there has been no
concerted effort made to accom-
plish this saving as it is still in
the conversational stage. AS soon
as some organization assumes
leadership along this line it is
predicted that a large following
will be had and results will fol-
low promptly.

BY JESSE C. SUTER.


The 1941 budget recommended
lions of the District Commits
sioners were published in last
Sundays papers. This repre-
sents the third definite step in
the Districts complicated bud
getary system. In each of these
there is reflected the considera-
ton and the decision of those
who will have to operate the
District government during the
1941 fiscal year. knowledge of
the actual needs, together with
the probable revenue and the
possibility of congressional ap-
proval, have been the guiding
factors in the formulation of the
budget as submitted.
The next stage is before the
Bureau of the Budget, where
Federal employees, dealing with
national problems. will go over
the various items and decide
what shall be the recommended
tions to Congress. The opinion
OF these Federal employees will
be the official recommendation
to Congress and must be sup
ported by the District officials
unless they are invited by men,
bers of the Appropriations SUBJ
committees to advance their own
opinions.
The tentative budget, as rec
commended, totals s49, 500, 300, in
Guiding trust funds. This amount
is nearly $l4,OOO,OOO below the
original estimates of the various
departments. Included in this
cut was nearly $4,000, 900 for the
purchase of sites and the erec-
ton of new school buildings.
Should the budget, as, recon-
mended by the Commissioners,
be approved it would be about
$l.50O,000 or about 3 per cent
above the present year.
There have been interesting
changes of personnel at the Dis
trict Building recently, but they
have been kept within the off,
cial family. Byers NICK. Bach
man, for many years chief &C
countant of the Public Utilities
Commission, becomes deputy as
SCISSOR in place of Charles A. Rus
sell. who became an assistant as
SCISSOR. George Wilson, who has
been assistant accountant in the
Public Utilities Commission, be-
comes chief accountant. Mr.. Will
son is native of the District
and the others have all been here
q long time.
Despite the overwhelming local
urge for the appointment of Dis
trict attorney, David A. Pine,
rumors persist that an outsider
is being considered for the va
cancy on the bench of the Dis
trict Court. The latest of these
rumors is that the Attorney Gen.
eral is backing a fellow Michi-
gander, who will be nominated as
soon as Congress convenes in
January. Three other non-resi-
dents are understood to be seek
ing this appointment.
A report late in the week indi-
Gated that the Public Utilities
Commission is investigating the
possibility of increasing the use
of natural gas as means of rate
reduction. The Washington Gas
Light Co. at present uses a mix
ture of natural and manufac-
tured gas. the natural gas being
approximately 80 per cent. The
cost of this investigation will be
charged against the companv.

Already this fall more than 600
children have been cared for by the
Student Aid Committee of the Dis
trict of Columbia Congress Of Par
ents and Teachers. and were it not
for the fact that this committee
must of necessity operate on lin
tied budget, the number would UNI
doubtedly be greatly increased. The
congress is Community Chest
member unit. for the benefit Of this
committee, but funds 50 secured can
be used only for shoes and rubbers.
Local units of the congress con-
tribute to this committee both
money and used clothing, but here
also Is q limit.
However, because of the fact that
all members of this committee work
without compensation Of any kind
as do all parent-teacher people-all
funds allocated to this particular
branch of our work are used for the
purpose for which they are ear
marked-namely, the supplying of
clothing to children who otherwise
would have to remain away from
school. But the Community Chest
funds are only for shoes and rub
bers, therefore whatever other cloth
ing these children need-and many
of them are students in our high
schools-are supplied from parent
teacher funds, or from supplies of
used clothing, which are repaired
and remade by women at the COM
mittee rooms.
this committee, reports that more
sewers can be used advantageously
because there is much repair work
to be done on the garments sent
in. There are several splendid sew
ing machines for use of the women,
there are cutting tables and shears,
and all equipment needed. The
rooms are open every Wednesday
from $50 to o'clock, on the first
floor of the Gales School, First and

can sew and who wish to assist in
this worthwhile enterprise will be
cordially welcomed.
