Tom Kicker Reports
On Food SHORTAGES

Butter has become so scarce that
it may have to be rationed soon,
according to Thomas Kicker, gen.
eral manager Of Greenbelt Con-
sumer Services, Inc. Thanksgiv-
ing Day week usually produces the
largest volume of food sales of any
week in the year, Mr.. Kicker said,
and ordinarily about 700 pounds
of one brand of butter would be
consumed in Greenbelt during this
week. This year, however, the
food store has been able to obtain
only about 100 pounds of this
brand. Cheese is also becoming
hard to get.
Coffee cannot be purchased this
week because of the inventory
that is being conducted nationally
to determine what the supply is in
this country, preparatory to the
rationing program that will be
instituted next week.
Other items that are becoming
hard to find on food store shelves
are canned vegetables and pre-
serves and jellies. The food store

Health Association
Adds lO9 Members

Approval of 1O9 applications for
membership in the Greenbelt
Health Association featured the
November 10 meeting of the Asso-
cations board of directors. Many
of these incoming members are
residents of the new defense homes,
but a large percentage of the re-
mainder are former members re-
joining.
A letter from Group Health in
Washington was read, in which
the Greenbelt Health Association
was requested to give service to
those Group Health members who
are being moved to Beltsville as
employees of the Department of
Agriculture. 1t is anticipated that
the usual charge of $1.50 for home
calls to Group Health members will
be raised in these cases to take
care of the extra mileage incurred
by Health Associations physicians
making such calls, according to
Sherrod East, chairman of the
board. The present arrangement
with Group Health provides that
their members who are residents
of Greenbelt are treated by our
physicians, and Greenbelt Health
Association members who need
specialized treatment are taken
care of by Group Health. q
A memorandum from DR.. Sam
Berenberg was read to the board
by the chairman. DR.. Berenberg
pointed out the difficulties of the
new residents who need a doctor
after hours, in view of the scarcity
of telephones in that area, and sug-
gested that notices be posted on the
phone booth in the bus station and
also on the door of the Health
Association building, giving tele-
phone numbers of the doctors and
outlining the doctors on call for
each evening. A further sugges-
tion was that persons calling the
doctor after nightfall leave a light
burning on the porch to serve as
guide as we'll as lighting the
path to the door. Tricycles and
wagons left on the paths consti-
tute a menace and DR.. Berenberg
said, zone of these times, some
doctor is going to break leg and
then they'll have to begin calling
for a doctor again, only this time
it'll be for a doctor to treat a
doctor"

has found it necessary to establish
a limit Of one jar Of either pre-
serves or jelly to a customer. Raj
sins are also disappearing from
the market, but the food store may
buy these in bulk and package
them for local trade. Still another
hard to buy item is the family Of
sauces.
The scarcity of canned vege-
tables, Mr.. Kicker believes, affects
consumers more than any other
single item. He urged Greenbelt-
ers to buy more fresh vegetables,
which are still plentiful, and prob
ably will continue to be, unless
some unforeseen factor affects this
situation.

Admiral Yarnell will give a 80
to 45 minute talk with the aid Of
maps of the Pacific theater of war.
This will be followed by a question
period at his own suggestion.
AS former commander of the
Asiastic Fleet the admiral is well
qualified to give his Greenbelt au-
dience valuable insight into the
background of the present struggle
with Japan. After a naval ca
reer which covered as years, he
retired in 1889. but he is now once
again on active duty. He is well
known as an interesting speaker.
DR.. James McCarl, who is in
charge of Sunday nights meeting,
invites all Greenbelters to hear
Admiral Yarnell, pointing out that
there is no admission charge. The
meeting will begin in the Audito-
rum at 1880 with a concert by the
Greenbelt Band. Also on the pro-
gram will be special music by play
ers in the U. s. Navy Symphony

P.-r.A. Approves
Victory Corps

The creation of High School
Victory Corps was unanimously
approved by parents and teachers
present at the last meeting of the
High School Parent Teacher Asso-
citation. The vote on the subject
was taken after Principal C. Paul
Barnhart explained the purpose
and organization of the Corps.
The two aims of the Corps are
the immediate and special train
ing of youth for. war service after
graduation, and the promotion of
active participation in the war ef-
fort while the students are still in
high school.
The Corps is divided into five
special divisions: ~ Land serv-
ice; (2) Air service; (3) Sea serv-
ice; az Production service; and
(5l Community service. Students
within two years Of graduation
are eligible to join any of these
divisions, but all students will be
eligible for membership in the
Corps.
Miss Rose Nudo, director of
physical education, outlined the
proposed physical fitness program
of the Corps. This program in
cludes calisthenics and the funda-
mentals of military drill.
Highway Rules Broken
The meeting also discussed the
problem presented by students
who walk in the middle of the
road, hitch-hike, and fail to OBJ
serve the rules of the highway.

CouncilIllell Cut
Three Bus Stops
As Traffic Aid

1t was announced at the
Town Councils meeting last
Monday night that begin
ming next Monday, Novem-
ber 80, the Capital Transit
buses will no longer stop at
the intersection of Ridge
Road and Southway or at
the intersection of Crescent
Road and Southway. Rather,
a special bus stop will be
established on Southway
midway between r i d g e
Road and Crescent Road. In
addition, the stop at Gar
denway and Crescent Road
will be eliminated.
Line Extension Asked
A possibility that the defense
homes located in the north end
of town may receive new bus
service was revealed by Assistant
Town Manager Arthur L. Rystick-
en- at the Councils meeting. Mr..
Rysticken has requested the Cap
ital Transit Company to have the
buses make a short trip to the
vicinity of Northway and Hill
side Road during the waiting pc
riod between runs to Mt. Rainier
or Branchville.
Every home in Greenbelt
would be within one-haH mile of
the bus line if this service could
be inaugurated," stated Mr.. Ry-
sticken. Bundle-laden shoppers
could make use of the proposed
route and citizens living in the
concentration of defense homes
beyond Northway would be
spared the long hike to the bus
depot.

Others Indicted on
Charges Of treason
Three Chicago Couples
Accused of Giving Aid
In Sabotage Plot
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. Sept 5.-A Federal
grand jury has accused three Chica-
go couples Of treason for the part
they allegedly played in the abortive
Nazi plot to sabotage American IN
duStry.
An indictment returned before
Judge John P. Barnes charged IN Al
counts that the defendants, all
naturalized American citizens, gave
aid and comfort to Herbert Hans
Haupt. one of the six saboteurs ex-
eeuted in Washington August 8.
On recommendation of the grand
Jurors, Judge Barnes ordered the
defendants held without bail. They
face possible death sentences on
conviction, and the iightest penalty
provided oy law is $4,000 fine with
five years Imprisonment.
Named in Indictment.
Those indicted we're Haupt's
parents. Mr.. and Mrs. Hans Max
Haupt; his uncle and aunt. Mr.. and
Mrs. Walter Otto Froehling, and Mr..
and Mrs. Otto Richard Wergen,
friends of the family.
They were variously accused OF
receiving young Haupt after he
landed from German submarine
on the Florida coast last June, OF
sheltering him, safeguarding a large
sum of money he brought with him,
and attempting to conceal his mis-
sion of destruction from American
authorities.

portant contacts for tine Nazi
agents, adding: THE saboteurs in
tended to use the Froehling resi-
dence as hiding place and clear

with the plot was not brought out
in the indictment.

United States before 1923 and none
had been citizens for more than II

Hoover Claims Confession.
All have protested their innocence
at early hearings in the case despite
Mr.. Hoovers announcement that
they had confessed number of the
overt acts. set forth in the indict-
ment.
Young Haupt. %, and known to
his intimates as "Bingo," was al
legged to have issued instructions to
all the defendants, and the Haupts
and Wergins were accused of advis-
ing the saboteur to register under
the Selective Service Act and
give. false information to American
officials.
The grand jury heard more than
so witnesses during the investigation
which began August 20. The overt
acts listed in the indictment were
alleged to have been committed

$4,000 Refrigerators
Released by WPB
For Sale 10 Public
Machines Were Frozen
In Hands of Firms
February ID
2, the Associated Press.

BS the Associated Press.
The War Production Board re-
leased today for sale to the gen.
eral public about $4,000 domestic
mechanical refrigerators, which
had been frozen in the hands of
dealers and distributors since
February IA.
The WPB at the same time estab-
lished a program for transfer of
$4,000 additional refrigerators held
by manufacturers and their affili-
ated distributors to retail dealers
and other outlets.
The order, WPB said, will facili-
tate acquisition of new refrigera-
tors by consumers who certify they
have no other refrigeration equip
ment at their disposal.
Independent distributors with
frozen stocks of gas and electric
refrigerators may now release
through their usual channels of dis
tribution refrigerators which they
had on February IA, the date of the
original freeze order.
Retail dealers holding gas refrig-
orators also are permitted to sell
those which they had on the same
date. There has been no restric-
ton since March 26 on sale of cleo
trical refrigerators held by retail
dealers.
Kerosene operated refrigerators
were not released because of the
limited supply available for war
agencies.
Refrigerators in the stocks of
manufacturers and affiliated distrib-
utors may be released only on WPB
authorization. If the refrigerators
are for delivery to dealers and
transfer to ultimate consumers, the
authorization must be stamped with
the words unlimited transfer
Chiefly of De Luxe Type.
The WPB noted that the released
lefrigerators are chiefly of the de
luxe type, not suitable for military
uses In addition, WPB said, some
small distributors and dealers have
suffered unnecessary financial hard
ships, while tying up urgently
needed warehouse space as a result
of the freeze order.
WPB said there still would be an
ample stockpile on hand. Pro-
duction of refrigerators was dis
continued April 30 until after the
war.
