Officer, 7 Laundry
Strikers Injured in
Fight; Is Arrested
Trouble Between Women
Sturts 'SmuII Riot
At Arcade Plant

After what police described as a
small riot" today in connection with
the Arcade Sunshine Laundry strike,
in which one policeman and two
strikers were reported injured, 16
persons were arrested in front of the
plant at 735 Lamont street NV.
The 16 men and women were first
taken to the tenth precinct station
and searched, then taken to police
headquarters. Police said prepara-
tions were being made TO put them
all in lineup tonight-a step which
Inspector James F. Beckett declared
is unusual in local strike disorders.
In the meantime, no charges were
placed Immediately against any of
the 16.
Women Start Trouble.
Although 81 policemen were
rushed to the scene, few of the per-
sons they arrested appeared to have
taken part in the violence. Police
Sergt. A. S. Douglas said nearly all
were taken into custody because
they shouted as police marched by
their picket line with two or three
strikers and non-strikers under ar
rest.
Trouble had started when two
women, one a striker and the other
non-striker, began to fight, he
said. Policeman j. c. Daniels at
tempted to arrest both, but a COL
ored presser intervened, he reported
In the scramble that followed
Sergt. Douglas received an arm in
jury, he declared, and William
Morgan, "a, colored, of 1882 T street
NV, suffered head and neck lac
erations that required treatment at
Freedmen's Hospital.
"One of us policemen hit him
with night stick and I'm willing
to take the credit" Sergt. Douglas
declared.
Arrests Protested.
Clara I. Lewis, 26, colored. of 1858
Second street S.W., suffered head
and shoulder bruises and was given
first aid by an Emergency Hospital
physician, police said
Strike Chairman James Harmon,
colored, said the police account of
the incident appeared substantially
correct, but protested against arrest
of picketers who he said, were
shouting, "Scab, scab," at non-
strikers and were not heckling po-
licemen.
Among those arrested was a 27-
year-old white man, listed as a
salesman.

Senate Move 10 Curb
Crop Control Fought
By Administration
Leaders Hope to Kill
Restriction in Quote
Bill in House
BY the Associated Press.

Administration farm officials
used their influence with agricul-
tural forces in the House today in
an effort to head off Senate-ap-
proved legislation which would de-
prive the Government of wide pow-
ers to control market supplies
and consequently prices-of cotton
and wheat.
Attached to a House enacted
wheat marketing quota bill, the
legislation would freeze" Govern
ment-oWned stocks of cotton and
wheat until the present national
emergency has passed. Conse-
quently, the Agriculture Department
could not sell such commodities
either to prevent runaway prices
or to liquidate its stocks to get
back money invested in them.
United States Owns Huge Supplies.
The Government now owns more
than 100000 bales of cotton and
160 100000 bushels of wheat. These
commodities were acquired through
foreclosure of Government loans
to farmers.
Recent sharp advances in cotton
prices have led the Agriculture De-
partment to consider plans to sell
some cotton in the open market in
the event quotations went beyond
what officials considered proper.
Aides OF Secretary Wickard said
both he and President Roosevelt
were opposed to measures which
would IN any way restrict present
Government control over crop sur
pluSes. They expressed the belief
that the freezing proposal voted yes
terday by the Senate would be re-
jected by House members of a con-
ference committee to which the
legislation is expected to be sub
mitted.
The Senate also added an amend
ment which would lift restrictions
prohibiting the use of excess quota
wheat as feed or seed. Under pres
ent law. farmers who produced more
than their l94l marketing quotas of
wheat must store the excess or paw
49-cent-a-bushel penalty if they
sell or use it.
Wickard Opposes Proposal.
Secretary Wickard, in a letter to
Chairman Fulmer of the House
Agriculture Committee, expressed
opposition to the Senate proposal on
the ground that it would make non
compliance with the A. A. A. cror
control program attractive" and
would discriminate" against farm
ers who co-operated with the pro-
grams.
The Secretary, on the other hand
approved the House measure as II
stood before amendment by the
Senate. This measure would permit
farmers to market, free of penalty
an amount Of excess quota wheat
sufficient to make up the normal
production of their l94l A. A. A
acreage allotment. This was de-
signed to help farmers who had poor
| yields.

Gated. John J. Wilson, court

Lean, said yesterday that Mr.. Nc
Lean POoSCcoCo olll1 1llSOiilC
from the estate of his father, John
r. Mclean, which was wholly in

Mclean family, issued statement
Monday night in which it was de-
clared that Mr.. Mclean had no

will stated in listing the gifts to
them. $1,000 more apiece than those
in the first will filed. The children

Washington Mclean.
Mr.. Mclean directed that the
$1,000 bequest to Mrs. Van Cleve
be paid first and the others in pro-
portion to the assets in event his
estate was not sufficient to fulfill
all terms of the will. He directed
executors and trustees TO permit

residences and the country places
which are owned by me-" and pro-
vided that in event of her re-
marriage subsequent to his death,
the trustees convey to Mrs. Van

0. P. N. Drafts Order
To Tighten Control
Over Iron, Steel
Shortages So Imminent
Drastic Rules May Be
Issued This Week
By JAMES FREE.

Drastic orders to give the Gov
ernment more control over iron and
steel supplies and to assure that all
defense needs are given preference
over civilian uses are being drawn
up by the Office of Production
Management, and probably will be
announced in a few days, it was
learned today.
Defense officials said that short
ages for these materials are so i'm
minent that the orders may be
issued by Friday.
They pointed out that large guam
titles of iron and steel apparently
are being used for non-essentlal
civilian purposes, while vital defense
production. such as that of railroad
cars, has been delayed by shortages.
Pig Iron May Be Included.
The new program. it was said,
probably will cover pig iron also.
Steel now is under three forms OF
priority control, but none is as rigid
as the mandatory restrictions on
some other metals. Steel Is under
inventory control, which requires
suppliers to file monthly statements
with the o. P. M; it is on the critical
list. which enables Army and Navy
purchasing officers to issue prefer
ence ratings for their orders; and 1t
is under a general preference order
which provides machinery whereby
buvers can seek Government help
in obtaining deliveries.
Meanwhile, Secretary of Agrlcul-
ture Wickard conferred with defense
officials today regarding methods OF
increasing food production particu-
larly in dairy products, for badly
needed shipments to Great Britain
and for anticipated greater future
needs in this country.
Leaders Are Present.
Present at the conference, which
also discussed the problem of al
location of materials for manufac-
ture of farm machinery, were Will
liam S. Knudsen and Sidney Hill
man. co-directors of o. P. NJ; John
D. Biggers, chief of defenese produc-
ton; Edward r. Stettinius, jr., di-
rector of priorities; Wayne Coy,
liaison officer of the Office of Emer-
gency Management, and M. Clifford
Townsend, director of the Office of
Agricultural Defense Relations.
At the same time the o. P. Ms
Labor Defense Advisory Committee
for the rubber industry proposed
that rubber supplies should be allo-
Gated on a plant-by-plant basis as
well as the present company-by-
company basis to avoid unemploy-
ment and other economic hardships.
The committee asserted that some
parent companies NAV make alloca-
tions that will cause undue labor
displacement and distress if the pro-
posal is not carried out.

A proposal by Chairman Hunter
that the District be allowed to bor-
row funds to begin immediate work
on the proposed highway improve
ment program met the objection OF
Capt. Whitehurst and Commis-
sioner Young.
Capt. Whitehurst said he believed
the program could be carried out
without borrowing money.

place debt on the District" Repre-
sentative Dirksen declared. =
That would break my heart"
Commissioner Young remarked.

Commissioner, making his first ap-

fore a congressional committee, in
dorsed the gas tax bill.
I'VE have got to have some i'm
provements and changes and we
have got to pay for them" Com
missioner Mason declared. You
can't buy a new suit without pay
ing for it"
Commissioner Mason made the
statement in response to questions
by Chairman Hunter of the sub
committee.
Howard D. Woodson, chairman of
the Committee on Public Works
of the Federation of Civic Assocla-
tions, the first witness, registered
the organizations disapproval OF an
increase in the gas tax at this
time.
The highway improvement pro-
gram which the increased gasoline
tax is intended to help carry out
els immature" he said.
Before any increase tax is made, "
he declared, "the diversion of exist
ing gasoline tax funds to other than
highway construction cost should
be stopped" He also said the Fed
eral Government should be required
to pay part of the cost of the
proposed new highway projects.
Army Building Site Suggested.
The proposed s35,OOO,O0O new
building for the War Department,
Mr.. Woodson said, should be located
on Federal owned property on
Bladensburg road either at the
Aboretum or the National Training

declared, "is an example of the

Big -AutO
Forecast

The automobile industry Is pre-
pairing for another high-produc-
ton quarter. Preliminary shipping
schedules and orders to parts COM
panies indicate that the motor
makers expect production of about
100000 cars and trucks in the
April-June period.
This would be the third best
June quarter in the history Of the
industry. exceeded only by 1879
1,614.000 units and 1925 peak
1857 900. 1t would be piled on top
of current quarter assemblies
which are expected TO establish
a first period record of $4,000
cars and trucks
This is important as a symptom
of sustained consumer demand.
II is even more significant In
that it gives definite expression
TO the growing confidence of the
motor makers that they are sur
mounting the preliminary produc-
ton obstacles arising from the
defense program. And they have
done 1t without slowing the de-
tense output in any way.
