Japan Calls Reservists,
Shonqhoi Sources Hear

SHANGHAI, July II (Pl.-An un-
determined number of japanese re-
servists in addition to the vast num-
Der of men already under arms are
being called up as an accompanl-
ment to the Japanese cabinet shift,
according to reports received by for
eign sources here.
Summoning of the reservists was
first reported early this week, before
the Konoye cabinet resigned, and
today's advices said that even SOL
diers discharged from the army in
China a year and a half ago had
been recalled to the colors along
with a number of reservists in Man

Speculation on Plans.
The reports early in the week
were accompanied by disclosure that
the japanese port of Kobe tmost
likely point of embarkation for any
southwark military move had been
in effect closed to foreigners for
a Today period starting July Is.
The general belief here was that
the new cabinet would put into ef-
feet decisions already reached, but
whether Japan intends to move
north against Russian Siberia, south
into French Indo-China, Thailand
and the Netherlands Indies, or in
tends any special move remained
a matter of speculation.

Consumers Request
Henderson's S Aid
In Milk Drive
Official Asked to Help.
Change Code to Permit
Sole Of Outside Supply

Leon Henderson, administrator OF
the Once of Price Administration
and Civilian Supply, was urged
today to take part in a drive for
expansion of the Washington milk
shed so that inspected milk from
any part of the United States might
be brought into the District and
sold here as bottled milk
The object of the expansion would
be to retain the present price, which
might 60 up If the Secretary OF
Agriculture grants the request of
the Maryland and Virginia Milk
Producers Association for an in
crease in the price paid to milk
producers.
The District of Columbia Con-
sumers Milk Committee asked Mr.
Henderson to use his good Offices
to bring about elimination of GER
tain provisions of the District health
code governing milk production.
Existing regulations forbid the sale
in Washington of fluid milk pro-
duced in barns not inspected by
District health officials
The committee told Mr.. Hender-
son of its conviction that "elimina-
ton of barriers to production i'm
plicit in these regulations would re-
suit in lower costs of production
and in assurance of supply a. the
present price levels. without Ieduc-
ing in any way the wholesomeness
and safety of milk sold in this mar
ket."
The committee recalled that Mr.
Henderson wrote letter to the Sec
retary of Agriculture Juna ~ argu-
ing against a price increase of milk
in the District
The committee presented a brie1
to the Agriculture Department pro-
posing that the regulation reoulr.
ing inspection of the milkshed by
District off1cials be replaced By q
regulation requiring that milk sold
in the District pass inspection under
the standards of the United States
Public Health Service Code.
That substitution would lnake II
possible for milk and cream to flow
from milkshed to milkshed without
risk OF any ones health, but With
great economic advantage for farm
ers and consumers" the committee
brief stated.
