AdvisoryUnit
To Seek Solution
For Penny Milk
Committee to See
If 270 Pct. Increase
Is Feasible
(See Also Story on Page B-f0J

y
A special advisory committee to
the Board of Education will be ap-
pointed by the board, possibly next
Wednesday, to help school officials
determine whether a penny-a-pint
milk project can be set up for un-
dernourished school children under
the terms laid down by the Surplus
Marketing Administration Of the
Agriculture Department.
This was decided yesterday as the
school board held its opening meet
ing of the new school year.
First Assistant Supt. Robert L.
Haycock was designated to draw up
nominations for the committee,
which will ascertain whether the
milk consumption among UNDER
nourished children can be increased
270 per cent to prevent milk pro-
ducerS from suffering financial loss
in undertaking the program. The
committee will also have to decide
what, if any, District schools can
meet the rigid definition of low
income school the S. M. A. has OUT
lined-a school where 65 per cent
of the children come from relief or
poor families, Mr.. Haycock indicated.
Anacostia Situation Reported.
Board members also heard Mr..
Haycock outline a serious popula-
ton problem in Anacostia forcing
the use of two portable schools each
at the Benning and Stanton Schools.
He explained that six new schools are
ultimately provided for the area, two
Of which probably will be completed
this school year, but the remainder
will be about year in coming
through.
Principal problem in the area will
be provision for children in the
Bellevue development of the Navy
Department between Boiling Field
and the Naval Research Laboratory,
Mr.. Haycock said there was no room
at the Congress Heights School for
these children but that a double
shift class would be put in at the
Van Buren School to accommodate
them A double shift was ordered
also for Browne Junior High for
colored pupils.
To determine what the problem
will be elsewhere it was planned to
hold school registrations in that
area during the week before the
opening of schools September %.
Assistant Principals Named.
Three assistant principals were
named from teacher ranks at the
Deal, Paul and Shaw Junior High
Schools. They are j. NJ. Reicks,
geography and history teacher at
Deal; Mrs. M " Eiehner, CONNER
cial science teacher at Paul, and
Miss D. w. Frazier, English and
history teacher at Shaw.
Mr.. Haycock announced continua-
ton of the free hot lunches for un-
dernourished school children under
a w. P. A. project that will also use
volunteer assistance.
Plans were also outlined for the
program Of instruction for shut-in
children in which the teachers coll
leges will be asked to introduce
course preparing for this type of
work. The present teachers for the
coming year are carry-overs from
the project previously run by the
Board of Public Welfare last year,
it was indicated, and efforts will be
made to give them a chance to
qualify under Board of Education
standards at the end of the year.
Mr.. Haycock said committee of
teachers and officials would be ap-
pointed to develop defense savings
program in the schools.

Leiserson Proposes
Mediation Instead Of
No Strike Law
Procedure Like Thut
Under Railway Act Urged
In Defense Industries
Early Story on Page A-5.)

Early Story on Page A-5.)
By the Associated Press.
DR.. William M. Leisterson of the
Labor Board proposed today that in
stead of imposing mo strike" legis-
lation on the defense industries the
Government call labor and manage
ment together to consider adopting
mediation machinery like that of the
Railway Labor Act.
DR.. LeiserSon suggested that the
Railway Labor Act plan might there
by serve as the basis for voluntary
cooperation in handling grievances
and disputes in defense industries.
The essential feature of the acts
mediation system requires employ
ers and employees to give 80 days
notice of any intention to change
wages or working conditions and
within 10 days of such notice the
two sides must agree on time and
place for conference
Mediation Board Suggested.
During the period OF the confer
ence, whether it lasts two weeks or
two months, both sides would be
bound to maintain the wages and
working conditions in status quo
until an agreement on revision had
been reached.
Failure of the two sides to reach
an agreement would be followed by
an appeal for the services of some
Federal mediating agency, and DR..
Leiserson suggested that a Federal
mediation board of three or five
members could be created.
Meanwhile, labor experts attached
to the National Defense Commission
disclosed that plans were under way
to reorganize and broaden the func-
tions of the Labor Division under
Sidney Hillman, who recently was
named associate director of the new
Office for production management.
New Labor Aide Proposed.
To relieve Mr.. Hillman of some of
the detail he has handled up to now,
the plan contemplates setting up a
chief assistant director in the Labor
Division to coordinate the work of
the Hillman staff on labor problems
and apprentice training
The reorganization plan, it was
further said, contemplates the crea-
ton of two parallel setups to handle
the problems arising from situations
involving respectively the A F. L.
and the c. l. O. It also contemplates
the placing of 10 A. F. L. and 10
c. I. o. trouble shooters" at stra-
tegic points in the country to keep
the commission advised on labor
conditions.
