Will Seek U. S. Funds for
Bethesda Chevy Chase,
Silver Spring Projects

Representative Byron, Democrat,
of Maryland will try to obtain
Federal funds to aid in construction
of a municipal swimming pool in
the Bethesda Chevy Chase area
and another to serve Silver Spring.
His promise to back the swim
ming pool movement was made in
conference with Montgomery
County residents last night.
1T would be fine thing if
these pools could be built right
away" Mr.. Byron said. Il intend
to help all I can"
The legislator also promised to
help obtain other recreation facili-
ties for Montgomery County and
said it may be possible to get the
assistance of the National Youth

resentatives at the meeting.

Byron. Vincent Ahearn, S. Walter
Bogley, sr.; DR.. William F. Burdick,
William Throckmorton and w.
Preston Allen was named to work
out plans for the pool
1t was estimated that the Bethes-
da-Chevy Chase pool would cost
between $4,000 and $4,000. 1t was
pointed out that one method of
procedure might be to have citizens
contribute $4,000 or 5000 to meet
the cost of materials and to have
the N. Y. A. furnish the labor
William F. Carlin, president Of
the Silver Spring Community Gen.
ter, was the spokesman for his COM
munity.

The proposal for pool at Silver
Spring, however, has not reached
the point where the probable cost
can be computed.

Maryland Capital Park and
Planning Commission, told the con-
ferees his organization would do
everything possible to help.

Col. Johnson 10 See
Roosevelt Tomorrow
Or Thursday
No indication Given
Thot He Will Accept
Another Federal Job

Louis Johnson. former Assistant
Secretary of War, whom the admin
istration has been trying to bring
back into its defense organization,
will see President Roosevelt at the
White House tomorrow or Thursday.
This was disclosed today by Ste
phen T. Early, White House secre-
tary, who talked with Col Johnson
last week in San Francisco. where
both spoke at the convention of
the National Association of Broad
casters.
Mr.. Early said that Col. johnson
telegraphed the President he would
like to see him tomorrow or Thurs
day and said Mr.. Roosevelt will talk
with him on either day.
The President was back at work
in Washington this morning after
his New England defense tour.
There was no indication whether
Col. johnson would accept another
Federal post. Mr.. Early said that he
did not press the former assistant
secretary to return to the Govern
ment. 1t is believed that the White
House would like him to take the
post of administrative assistant at
the War Department.
Col. johnson resigned in July and
was succeeded by Judge Robert
Patterson, friend of Secretary Of
War Stimson.
Secretary of the Interior Ickes,
Undersecretary of State Welles and
Federal Reserve Board Governor
Eccles were among the visitors ex-
pected by the President during the
day. Mr.. Early said that because
the President had given two press
conferences in the last two days
and had no news, he would forego
his customary Tuesday afternoon
conference.

Is Years Army Service Offset
Technically on Citizenship p

Sixteen years of service in the
Army and his value to the Nation
in the defense program tipped the
scales against legal technicality
yesterday to give 37-year-old Aus
trian his American citizenship.
Norbert William Seidner, master
sergeant, detailed at the War De-
partment, was given his citizenship
by District Court Justice James w.
Morris after a hearing in which
Sergt. Seidner's superior officers
testified to his excellent record"
The technicality that threatened
to bar his citizenship concerned a
charge of misconduct against him
when his wife got a divorce nearly
five years ago. The law provides

Tool 'Conscription'
SOUGHT to Aid Army

Legislation to empower the Presi-
dent to requisition privately owned
tools, machinery and other equip
ment that might be needed by the
Nations armed forces was intro
duced yesterday by Senator Hill,
Democrat, of Alabama.
The measure provided the Presi-
dent should determine a fair value
and if the owner was unwilling to
accept this valuation he would be
paid one-half the amount and be
permitted to sue the Government
for the balance.

that a full five years shall pass in
such case.
However, Justice Morris, taking
in consideration the testimony of
the applicants superior officers that
he was especially qualified for his
duties, overruled the technically.
Had Mr.. Seidner been ruled in
eligible for citizenship he would
have lost his Army status.
Until few years ago Mr.. Seid-
ner believed that he was a native
born American citizen. However,
in a general survey of Army per-
sonnel some years ago Mr.. Seidner
learned that he in reality had
come over here as child with his
parents from Vienna in 1910.

Increase of $500, 900
And Two-Woy Radio
Setup Also Urged

Requests for 100 additional police
men, a new precinct station and
installation of two-way radios in
80 scout cars are high lights of the
1912 police budget estimate sub
mitted to the District Commissioners
today
The estimates total S3,626, ,796, or
about 100000 more than current
appropriations.
Another new item would provide
a Police Department chemist to
perform analyses in investigations
for which police now have to turn
to various Government agencies.
Replacement of 200 old revolvers
also is requested by Police Supt.
Ernest w. Brown, who said half
of the revolvers now in use in the
department are more than 10 years
old. This, he said, decreases eff
cheney and constitutes a grave
hazard to officers using them.
Cites Population Increase.
The 100 additional police privates
represent approximately the number
Maj. Brown sought in his estimates
last year. The Commissioners cut
the total to IS and Congress finally
allotted Is.
His renewed request. he told the
Commissioners, is due primarily to
the phenomenal increase in Dis
trict population as revealed by the
recent census He said 282 new
policemen would be needed if the
ratio of police to population in
1880 were to prevail at present.
Unless there is a substantial in
crease in the department personnel,
Maj. Brown said, it will be difficult
If not impossible to render prompt
and efficient police service, which
the public has right to expect"
More Employees Sought.
He also asked % additional en-
ployes for administrative and cler-
ical work.
He also said Washington has a
higher per capita motor vehicle reg
istration than any other city in the
world with the possible exception of
Los Angeles.
The new precinct station, which
would be located at Forty-second
street and Benning road NE. at a
cost of s36,500, also was requested
by Maj. Brown in his estimates last
year. The precinct would relieve the
present No. II precinct of part of
its load which involves the covering
of IT'S square miles of territory
Wants Adequate Protection.
This large coverage, Maj. Brown
said, prevents giving some of the
citizens of the Northeast area the
police protection to which they are
entitled
In justifying a request for $4,000
for the installation of the two-way
radio system in police cars, Mai.
Brown asserted that of 20 largest
cities in the country only four, of
which Washington is one, do not
have the tWo-Way communication
facilities. Police officials have been
experimenting during the last year
with the tWo-Way system and it is
being used to some extent bv the
District Fire Department.
Tier of Cell Blocks.
Other items in the estimates would
provide for completion of a second
tieD of cell blocks in the new No. 2
precinct being constructed at Fifth
street and New York avenue NV.
Provision for these cells had to be
stricken from the original appro-
priation for the station in 1889 to
make the appropriation adequate,
1t was stated.
Thirty-four small cruisers and Is
motorcycles would be added to the
force to replace the same number
of vehicles which the department
estimated will have excessive mile
age by July 81, 1941.

are open from o'clock to 5 every
day except Sundays and holidays.
In other words. the people are given
four hours a day to purchase this
milk.
Let us see who may get this milk
and how generous this monopoly is.
A nursing mother may have one pint
a DAY. All adults over that age may
have only half pint of milk day.
Mr.. Speaker, I have gone around
and asked members of the Mary
land and Virginia Producers Asso-
citation why that was brought into
being and why the organization has
sanctioned this. Here is what a
member of the organization told me:
Il will tell you Congressman, our
pigs have got to have the surplus
milk" In other words, the pigs on
the farm in Maryland and Virginia
come ahead of the nursing mothers
and children in Washington.
Mr.. Schafer of Wisconsin: This
Chestnut Farms Dairy, which has
the milk monopoly in the District
of Columbia and is part of the
SOC, 900 900 National Dairy trust, is
not furnishing this milk to these
poor people at cents per quart be-
cause, if the gentleman will read the
announcement further he will find
that Uncle Sans Treasury is pay
ing this milk monopoly an additional
couple Of cents for the milk.
Mr.. Schultz: Yes. 1t says here,
THE cheap milk is made possible
through cooperation of the Mary
land-Virginia Producers Association,
surplus market corporation, and so
forth.
There is only one outfit that can
sell this milk. That is the Chestnut
Farms Dairy. No other dairies get
that.
Mr.. Hull of Wisconsin: May I call
the gentleman's attention to the
further fact that the surplus mar
ket corporation pays the Chestnut
Farms Dairy 81 cents per quart as
subsidy on this same milk.
Mr. Schultz: Mr.. Speaker, they
have been yelling about the purity
of their milk, about how superior
their milk is over any other milk,
and today my good friend from
Pennsylvania, who was very much
in sympathy with us, will tell you
they are buying milk in Pennsyl-
vania which does not come up to
the D. c. inspection.
Mr.. Gross: Mr.. Speaker, will the
gentleman yield? The gentleman
has challenged the milk of Penn
Sylvania.
Mr.. Schultz: No, do not yield.
Probably the gentleman is a men,
Der of this Virginia thing, l do not
know. If so, he ought to hang his
head in shame to think thai he is
denying the mothers and the chill
dren in the District of Columbia.
Mr.. Gross: Mr.. Speaker, will the
gentleman yield? He has made
reference to me.
Mr.. Schultz: refuse to yield, Mr..
Speaker.
Those who are aff1liated with this
thing ought to be ashamed of them
selves, picking on the innocent
mothers and children who cannot
afford to protect themselves. There
is only one place the people of the
District of Columbia can look for
help, and that is the Congress. They
have no government here, which we
all know. They have no one here
to whom they can bring their
troubles except the members of this
Congress
1 say to you that if Congress stays
in session long enough I want to
bring back and revive the so-called
Schultz bill to force the issue here
in the Nations Capital and to see
whether a monopoly of this kind
can continue to exist and deny the
people in the District of Columbia
milk at decent price.

cation.
without any reservations the
resolution said I'VE reaffirm our

"All males" That is the story.
All males, high, and low, rich and
poor, the fit and the unfit, signed
the little white cards Wednesday
and soon they will receive a number
and sooner or later that number will
come up in the fish-bowl lottery in
Washington, D. G.
When the numbers come up, draft
boards will decide who shall go to
be trained and who shall be deferred.
Registration was steady in Ell
