Pomona Grange Plea
For No Cut in Corn
Acreage Expected
Montgomery County Unit
Backing Of State . .-,o4
Organization Forecast

BY Staff Correspondent of The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, Oct. 4-The
Montgomery County Pomona Grange
is expected to indorse the recent
action by the State Grange in urg-
ing Agriculture Adjustment Admin
istration officials not to reduce
production suffer.
Farm officials claim that Mont
gomery county dairymen supply
Washington with more than 25 per
cent of its milk, valued at approx
mately $2,5O0000 annually. A ban
on corn growing would decrease
substantially the amount of milk
produced, they contend.
About $50 Shipping Milk.
Recent dairy figures place the
dairy milk shipment from the coun-
ty into Washington at about $4,000
gallons, while other sections of the
Washington milk shed make up the
balance of the $4,000 gallons daily
consumption.
According to Health Department
reports there are about $50 county
farmers shipping milk from this
area, averaging 80 gallons per farm
per day. Most of this milk goes to
Washington, some to the Baltimore
market, and some is sold locally.
Since the Maryland Virginia Milk
Producers Association has made a
direct appeal this week for an ad-
ditional 5000 gallons of milk daily,
prominent county dairymen feel that
the corn crop should not be reduced
and are backing the State Oranges
petition to the A. A. A.
Committees Resolution.
In its resolution the Executive
Committee of the State Grange
said:
In view of the request of the
Federal Government that Maryland
farmers produce 6 per cent more
milk and the close relation which
the corn crop has to the milk pro-
duction Therefore be it
Resolved: that we request the
A. A. A. not to reduce the corn
acreage in Maryland, but to permit
the usual amount to be planted in
in the principal corn areas, which
are also the milk-producing Sec
tions."
The County Pomona Grange COM
prises four local oranges from Ger
mantown, Woodfeld, Olney and
Burtonsville. The group is headed
by Robert H. Miller, jr., of Spencer
vile.

Kelly Protects
Jail Doctor on
Brutality Data
Promises Disciplinary
Action for Police
Who Try Pressure

Maj. Edward ]. Kelly, acting
superintendent of police, yesterday
promised drastic disciplinary ac-
ton" for any member Of the force
who attempts to "embarrass" or dis
cipline the attending physician at
the District jail through bitter and
public criticism"
Apparant ill-feeling between
policemen and DR.. w. K Angevine,
the jail's one-man medical staff,
was revealed by Maj. Kelly In a
page-long memorandum to the de-
partment.
The physician denied he had
made any official complaint to the
police superintendent about what
he termed threats" allegedly made
against him by policemen. Mai.
Kelly placed the origin of the
trouble at police resentment of DR..
Angevine's reports about prisoners
who charge police brutality.
Says Threats Made.
DR.. Angevine, questioned by re-
porters yesterday, said he under
stood that policemen hold him re-
ponSible for reports reaching police
officials about the physical condi-
ton of prisoners.
The physician said the policy of
reporting prisoners complaints was
ordered by Thomas Rives, superin-
tendent of the Jail, and Ray L. Huff,
superintendent of District penal in
stitutions.
DR.. Angevine said he had been
told by police officers that they
would get me out on the street"
He did not name the men.
Mai. Kelly's Order.
| Maj. Kelly's order follows:
1T has been reported to these
headquarters that certain members
of this department have bitterly and
publicly criticized the attending
physician at the District of Colum-
bia Jail because it has been his Gus
tom to forward reports through his
superiors to this department in
cases where the prisoners he eX-
amines or treats at the Jail complain
to him that they have been injured
at the hands of police officers.
at is the official duty of the at
tending physician at the District of
Columbia Jail TO make complete re-
ports of the medical attention he
gives to prisoners, together with a
report of the physical appearance
and condition of such prisoners
when examined by him and TO in
clude in such report any statement
by the prisoner which would account
for his illness or injury.
There is no reason why the doc
tor at the jail should be criticized by
any member of this department for
dong what he is required to do, and
all members of the force are hereby
directed to refrain from any express
sion of criticism or opinion of any
thing that the attending physician
may do, and they are specifically
warned that any attempt on the
part of any member of the force to
embarrass or discipline the doctor
at the Jail through an improper ex-
ercise of police authority will be
followed by drastic disciplinary
action against the officer concerned"

man, attorney for the plaintiffs, to
show that the zoning change would
be detrimental to the public health,
morals, welfare and safety of the
community" featured yesterdays
hearing.
After one of Mr.. Stohlman's wit
nesses, Francis j. Schwoerer, of
Chevy Chase terrace, had been
questioned to this effect, cross
examination by j. Bond Smith, at
torney for the Park and Planning
Commission, disclosed that Mr..

ture erection of any apartments in

the question: rs there any con-
dition affecting public safety in the

ing changer"

man Carey E. Quin of Bethesda

Woodward that no complete stem
ographic record of the zoning hear
ing before the commissioners was

A mass of documentary evidence
was introduced by Mr. Stohlman
tending to show that homes in the
area were all of the single family
type and that the zoning change
would cause great financial loss
to his clients.
The land in question is adjacent
to the Baltimore g. Ohio Railroad
tracks, near the Bethesda Chevy
