Piece of Kings
Beard Sold to
| Aid Britain

The late Mr.. Pennington, a FORE
seeing Britisher. was credited today
with bringing in $40 for the cause.
1t was he who saved and handed
down to his descendants a piece of
the beard of King George III that
was sold at auction last night to aid
his fighting homeland.
The sale marked the liquidation Of
Piccadilly Arcade and officials said
that an overflowing cash box held
81 500 when the many guests filed
from Anderson House, 2118 Massa-
chusetts avenue NV.
1t was Miss Elsa Maxwell who
hammered out the shreds of the
kings beard to Winthrop Crane Of
the State Department.
"Mr. Pennington was his late
ma1esty's keeper" Miss Maxwell told
the assembly of high Government
officials and social Washington. Mr..
Pennington's descendant who con-
tributed the article was not disclosed.
A dress train that had busted the
floors of 10 European courts was
bought by Mrs. Truxtun Beale. 1t
had belonged to Mrs. Lawrence
Townsend. Mrs. Beale said she
would donate 1t to the Smithsonian
Institution.
An autographed copy of President

ational use of school buildings. Pre-
viously he pointed, school officers
were able to curtail the recreation
program to save fuel when the Com
munity Center activities were con-
trolled only by the Board of Educa-
tion. Recreation is now jointly con-
trolled by the Board of Education
and the Commissioners.
From the unexpended balance in
the fund for officers salaries. the
board voted to employ two heads
of departments of guidance and
placement-one for the white and
one for the colored divisions. For
the last few years school officials
have sought budget appropriations
to permit organization of guidance
along vocational and occupational
lines on a city-wide basis, but have
had the item cut out each time
This would cost 1924, DR.. Ballou
estimated.

the 10 assistant principals for Deal,
Gordon, Hine, Langley, Mcfarland,
Paul. Stuart, Browne, Randall and
Shaw Junior High Schools. All of
these, the board was told, have more
than 1000 pupils. Two administra-
tive principals would also be named
at cost of $1,127 until the end of
the school year to help the Boards
of Examiners.
From the unexpedned balance in
the teacher salary item, II teachers
would be placed, one in each senior
high school, as guidance coun-
selor at a total cost of $4,620.

needs when the Commissioners re-
ceived and accepted a direction from

Acting under direction of the o. P.
M. M. E. Gilmore, commissioner of
Public Works, Federal Works Agency,

to the Commissioners stating that
due to IAN acute shortage of alumni
mum" and the absolute necessity
of restricting use of that material to

fense, the P. w. A. would be unable
to approve any specifications for

Wickard Announces
1941 Parity Rates
For Five Crops
Payments Will Be Made
From $4,000, 900
Set Aside by Congress
BY tie Associated Press,


Secretary of Agriculture Wickard
today announced rates of parity
payments to be made to farmers who
plant within 1941 A. A. A. acreage
allotments for cotton, wheat, corn,
rice and tobacco.
. The rates are: Cotton, 138 cents
per pound; wheat, 10 cents per BUSH
Ell; corn, cents per bushel; rice, 20
cents per hundredweight; fiue-cured
tobacco, OS cents per pound; fire.
cured tobacco, 0.2 cents per pound; /;
cigar filler and cigar binder (not in
Guiding types Al and 45), OF cents
per pound.
The payments will be made from
S212, 100000 appropriated by Con-
greSS last year. These payments are
designed to help boost farm income
from the basic crops toward the ad-
ministrations goal of parity or
fair exchange value for farm
products.
Parity is defined by administra-
ton economists as price level
which would give farm products pur-
chasing power in terms of non-farm
products and services equivalent to
that of a base period, set at 1909
1914.
S2l2,000,000 Among Five Crops.
Mr.. Wickard estimated that the
s212.000,000 would be divided among
the five major crops as follows: Cot
ton, S88 100000; wheat, S57 300 900;
corn, SAT, 100 900; rice, 50 500 900: f1ue-
cured tobacco, So, 900; flre-cured
tobacco, 100000; cigar filler and
binder tobacco, $600,OOO The re-
mainder of the $212,000,000 was al
lotted to administrative expense.
The parity payments will be based
on the normal yield of each farmers
acreage allotment.
In addition to the parity pay
ments, farmers who cooperate with
the A A. A. programs will receive
soil conservation payments in l94l
at the following rates: Cotton, 1.37
cents per pound; wheat, 8 cents per
bushel; corn, cents per bushel;
rice, SIS cents per hundredweight;
f1ue-cured tobacco, 08 cents per
pound; fire. cured tobacco, 15 cents
per pound, and cigar filler and
binder tobacco, 08 cents per pound,
4Per Cent More Cotton Output.
Mr.. Wickard said the 1941 parity
rates would be applied to approx
mately the same production of
wheat, corn and rice as were the
1910 rates, and to about per cent
more cotton production, because of
an increase in the normal yield OF
cotton in the last few years.
Last years parity and conserva-
ton payment rates, respectively,
were: Cotton, 1.55 and LA cents:
wheat, 10 and 81 cents; corn, S and
cents; rice, 93 and 585 cents. No
parity payments we're made on to-
bacco last year. The 1910 conserva-
ton payment rates for tobacco
were fue-cured, 0.9 cents; flre-cured,
108 cents, and cigar filler and
binder, 09 cents.

Permanent Status Urged
For MeI|ett Agency
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A Senate committee yesterday
recommended permanent status for
the Office of Government Reports,
agency set up by presidential order
to collect and distribute information
relating to Federal activities.
Chairman Hill of the Committee
on Expenditures in the Executive
Department said the seven members
voted on partisan lines, with five
Democrats favoring legislation al
ready passed by the House and two
Republicans, Senators Davis OF
PENNSYLVANIA and Aiken of Vermont,
opposing it.
The measure would authorize an
annual appropriation of up to ST.
100000 for the office.
Senator Davis announced he
would file a minority report because
he feared that the agency might
develop into a censorship"
Lowell Mellett, director of the
agency, assured Senators during a
hearing that both he and President
Roosevelt were opposed to censor
ship and no such thing was contem-
plated.

Approval Of Amended
0verton Bill by
House Group Seen
Hunter Says Roosevelt
Proposal Increases
Chances Of Passage

Approval by the House District
Committee of the Overton fiscal
relations bill with an amendment
suggested by President Roosevelt
which would require that the an
nual Federal payment toward mu-
nicipal expenses be used for capital
expenditures, was predicted today
by Representative Hunter, Demo-
crat, of Ohio.
Mr.. Hunter is chairman of the
Fiscal Affairs Subcommittee of the
District Committee, which several
weeks ago indorsed the original
Overton formula for determining
the amount of the Federal pay
ment. The formula would fix the
Federal payment on the basis of
the ratio of taX-exempt Govern
ment-owned acreage to the total
land area of the District. Applica-
ton of this formula, it is estimated,
would raise the present s6,000,00
Federal payment to approximately
50 100000 in the coming fiscal year
beginning July l.
Increased Chances Seen.
The Overton bill already has
passed the Senate and is now pend
ing in the House District Commit
tee. The amendment the President
suggested. Representative Hunter
said, probably would increase the
chance of the measure passing the
House.
Mr.. Roosevelt proposed the
amendment at a conference more
than a week ago with Senator Over
ton, Democrat, of Louisiana, who
conceived the formula; Chairman
Randolph of the House District
Committee and Commissioner J
Russell Young.
Sees Beauty as Objective.
House members are anxious, ]
think, to see that lasting and perma
nent improvements are made to
beautify ane make more modern
their Nations Capital" said Mr.
Hunter. II also believe this was
in the mind of the President when
he proposed a change in the Over
ton formula. His suggestion was q
dandy"
Representative Randolph plans tc
call special night meeting of the
District Committee to act on the
Overton bill and the proposed
amendment. The date, however
has not yet been fixed 1t is Mr.
Randolph's hope that the measure
will be ready for House considera-
tion on the next District day,
April %.
