Baltimore Increase Seen
IF D. c. Boosts Price

BALTIMORE. June 7 P.-
Another increase in the retail price
of milk in Baltimore is inevitable"
If producers who sell milk in the
Washington area receive an in
crease, T. K. Carnes, Western Mary
land dairy president, said yesterday.
Mr.. Carnes said the Washington
area producers already are receiving
about a cent more per gallon for
milk than Baltimore area producers,
and have asked the Department of
Agriculture for a boost of 46 cents
per hundredweight.
Already, he added, some milk pro-
duced in the Baltimore area is going
to Washington, drawn by the higher
price. A further price increase there
would mean that I'VE will have to
have an increase here to prevent the
local supply from drying up by di-
version to the Washington market" :"
Baltimore producers have said
they intend to seek price increase
in about a months time, due to
rising labor and feed costs.

IA Registrant
Here Deferred
By Roosevelt
White House Decision
Is First Involving
Woshingtonion

A District selective service regis
trant has been granted a deferment
by President Roosevelt in the first
draft decision involving a Wash
ingtonian handed down by the
White House, officials at District
selective service headquarters an
nounced today.
The registrant is Harold Norman
Ilnker, "a of 6505. Chestnut street,
Chevy Chase, Md, whose case was
taken to the President after Local
Board No. 2 had placed him in class
IA and the District Board of Ap-
peals had upheld the classification
unanimously.
Mr.. Linker, an employe of the
Burroughs Adding Machine Co, had
asked for class deferment be-
cause of dependents. This classi-
fication finally was granted by
President Roosevelt.
Appealed to Board Agent.
His case was appealed to the
White House by the Government
appeal agent of Board No. 2, P. j
Nicolaides. Mr.. Linker was pre-
vented from appealing his case
personally because of the unani-
nous vote against deferment by the
appeals board.
Mr.. Linker, whose order number
was 314, was registered last fall,
when he resided at 1907 Military
road NV.
Appeals of two other Washingto-
mans still are pending at the White
House.
Although Mr. Linker's is the first
local case to be decided by the White
House. ga presidential decisions have
been handed down for the entire
country.
The District Board of Appeals,
meanwhile, granted class defer
mentS to two registrants in decisions
announced today in 20 cases heard
this week.
Ten Kept in Glass la.
Ten prospective selectees, who had
requested dependency deferments,
we're kept in class IA by the Ap-
peals Board. Glass IA ratings also
were upheld in the cases of two
registrants who requested class 1-B
(student deferments and one who
asked that he be deferred to class
because of his occupation.
Occupations of three other regis
trants were considered necessary in
the national interest, and they were
deferred to class 2.
The case of one registrant, a
medical student, who had been
placed in class 3 by the local board,
was appealed by the Government
appeal agent, who sought to have
the man placed in class IA. The
appellate group decided to give the
medical student a class 2 rating. The
case of one man. who appealed on
the grounds he was a conscientious
objector, was referred to the United
States attorneys Office in accord
ance with regulations.

Needless Curb on Oil

BOSTON, June 7-Contending
tourists in Canada faced no gasoline

Also asserting that any further

I'VE are advised that tourists

Guilty in obtaining sufficient gaso-
line for their use.
"Of course, all of the Canadian
gasoline is imported from the United

home. play ping pong or checkers
and refresh himself on a soft drink.
They turned their gymnasium at
COG E street NV. into a great
lounge. Then they made their own
screens to give an illusion of rooms.
They built a snack bar at one end,
an information booth at the other.
Before the snack bar are cluster
of blue and chromium tables. cool
looking and shiny, with chairs to
match. Separated from this sec
tion by screen are two ping pong
tables surrounded at a suitable dis
tance by ring of chairs for spec
tatorS.
The entire other side of the long
hall is filled with leather chairs
and sofas. Lamps a man can read
by, big smoking stands and writing
tables are spaced at comfortable in
tervals. The kind of magazines a
man likes-adventure stories, de-
tective fiction and Westerns-are
scattered around the room.
Relaxation Main Asset.
Volunteers will man the informa-
ton booth, answering questions of
the men about church services,
sightseeing, theaters and recreation
spots. If home problems are troubling
a man, there will be somebody to
listen.
The whole idea is comfort. There
may be vesper services on Sunday,
an hours entertainment on Satur-
day nights, but the opportunity to
relax is the main asset of the serv-
ice club.
The Salvation Army believes
Washington will want to give that
opportunity to the boys in uniform
That's why they were willing to take
q chance.

Prisoners Urged by

Suggests Term Be Melted

Of GuiIty's Life
Star Staff Photo.

A recommendation that the SEN
fencing of criminals be taken away
from trial judges and placed under
a special board which would inves-
tigate the prisoners whole life was
made here yesterday by Associate
Justice Wiley Rutledge of the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals.
Addressing a luncheon meeting of
the Council of Social Agencies Cor
rection Committee at the Y. w
recent report of the Washington
Criminal Justice Association which
presented statistics showing that a
wide variation of sentences had been
made by judges for the same offense
Judge Rutledge pointed out that
with two men, each convicted of
robbery, the character of the man
and extenuating circumstances
might lead the judge to impose a
short sentence in one case, a heavier
tCILA al lllc Otlltl.
"Unscientific" Now.
He admitted that ito maintain the
present system of sentencing is scien-
tiflc would be absurd" Sentencing
is bound to be rough, he asserted, in
view of the fact that a trial judge
is "a very busy men" who cannot
possibly learn enough about a man
during brief period of trial to en-
able him to impose a wise sentence.
The best solution, in the juriSt s
opinion, would be the creation of a
board which would investigate the
prisoners whole life and would be
guided in sentencing by the indi-
vidual's need for treatment and
reformation.
Hits Traffic Enforcement.
Judge Rutledge said he also ia
vored appointment of a group of
citizens who would report any care
less driving they observed and later
appear as witnesses in prosecuting
the driver, as a means of cutting
down traffic accidents.
Our method of enforcing traffic
regulations is all wrong" the jurist
declared. Instead of waiting until
a person has an accident and then
throwing the book at him, better
way would be to fine him a dollar
every time he violated traffic regu-
lation, regardless of the fact no ac-
cident resulted"
Neil Burkinshaw, Correction Com
mittee chairman, introduced the
speaker, who he said was the first
Judge on the Court of Appeals to
meet with a group representing So

The Salvation Army is taking a
chance on the people of Washington.
This afternoon, it opens it's own
service club for boys in uniform
only a few days after the start of
the United Service Organizations
campaign here and weeks before 1t

respond in full measure to the needs
of the men and women who left
their homes for the service OF their

If the campaign here is a success,
if the S250,000 goal is reached, the
Salvation Army will be given a
small allotment to maintain the
club, pay for custodial service, re-
new equipment and transport en-
tertainers.
Acts on Need.
AS far as the Salvation Army was
concerned, starting the service

parently had been sightseeing and
they were worn out. They didn't
want to go to the movies, didn't
particularly want to eat. All they
really wanted was to sit down.
Finally, they turned in at ham,

to provide for the boys in uniform
was an attractive enough, comfort
