Taken Over Last January.
The Army and Navy took the old
polo fleld-which was actually in
intensive use with 10 softball dia-
monds--last January after telling
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission they couldn't do
without 1t" for automobile parking.
After $ll5,O00 was spent in pre-
pairing the field, it was never much
used. Recent surveys show the total
area In use at 1917 per cent capacity.
On some days the Army half, with
1903 car spaces, serves two vehicles.
The average number of cars there Is
less than a dozen, attendants re-
ported.
Mr.. Reynolds indicated that the
only thing which could now hold up
prompt removal of the asphalt would
be fiat refusal by Army or Navy
to relinquish their hold on the Polo
Field.
He seemed to view approval by the
Army as a mere formality. IN view of
previous assurances that they would
be cooperative.

fire it starts is more dangerous than
the bomb. BY ATTACKING the bomb
with a jet of water it is put out of
action in less than minute SO that
others can be attacked before they
can start serious blaZes.
Reduced to essentials, the new in
structions follow:
l. Bring your fire-ighting equip
ment to the scene as soon as the
bomb strikes
2. Shoot a jet of water directly at
the bomb without delay, to put it
out of action quickly.
g. Then use the jet, quickly, to
quench fragments and the remains
of the bomb, and any fires it might
have started.
4. Be absolutely sure all the fire
Is out before you leave the scene.
S. Use coarse spray only where
scattering of metal must be avoided.
g. Use sand only If bomb falls
where it is not likely to start fire
or if water Is not available.
Water Best Agent.
Civilians were advised never to
devote attention to the bomb at the
risk of allowing the fire to get be-
yond control. Water, it was said. is
the best agent for controlling both
the fire started by the bomb and
the bomb itself
ITO put the bomb out of action"
the instructions say, shoot the
water jet right at the bomb. Don't
be frightened by the momentary
flash of light and scattering of metal
which will occur when the jet hits
burning bomb. An instant later
nothing is left but scattered frag-
ments and an unburned part of the
bomb. These, together with the
fires that have been started, are
easily quenched with the jet"
1t was pointed out that the scat
tering of the bomb might also FORE
stall the action of a burster charge
which might be attached to the
bomb. However, using the Jet per-

margin. These animals have ad-
vanced beyond ITO per cent of par
1ty, or the minimum level at which
price ceilings may be imposed on
farm products. Henderson has hesi-
tated to place a ceiling on hogs and
cattle without approval of the Secre-
tary of Agriculture. The latter has
indicated opposition to such ceilings
because of belief that they would
be difficult to administer.
Agriculture Department officials
believe the squeeze will disappear
within two months, when hogs and
cattle start to moving to market in
larger numbers. Small packers
have declared. however, they cannot
operate at losses until that time.
Extra Price Purchase Plan.
Both the Agriculture Department
and OPA are considering a plan un-
der which the Agricultural Market
ing Administration would buy IS per
cent Of the output of small packers
at the same prices the big packers
are getting for lease-lend sales. This
extra price would give the small op-
orators sufficient income, it was said,
to enable them to keep operating
until livestock prices declined.
Another plan under considerat ton
involves Government contracts un-
der which the small packers would
operate on fee or commission
basis. The Government would buy
the hogs and cattle and take over
the meat.
Both plans involve problems of
diverting meat supplies into civilian
channels. 1t might be necessary for
the Government to pay, in effect,
the lease-lend price and resell to
distributors at lower prices which
would enable them to comply with
meat ceiling prices.
Choice Cuts Here Scarce.
While District regulations prohibit
slaughter houses in the city, there
are several packers here who buy
raw materials from the big slaughter
houses elsewhere and supply meats
for distribution here.
Spokesman for these wholesale
meat houses reported choice beef

was increasingly difficult to obtain,
and shipments of other commodities
were moving into this area more
slowly than was necessary to meet
the demand completely. Beef for
frankfurters was said to be scarce.
Prices on products not controlled
by price ceiling were going up
rapidly, according to some of the
dealers. One wholesaler reported
the price of choice veal had jumped
from $l450 last week to 1885 as
of yesterday.
At a large packing house in the
District. it was said supplies were
dropping off as much as IS per cent
on certain products below the
normal demand. An official at this
plant said the firm had received only
half as much bacon last week as it
could have used.
A spokesman for large chain of
grocery stores conceded that there
was somewhat of a shortage" but
that there was nothing alarming"
about the meat situation Oficials
of another large chain refused to
comment.
In Akron. Ohio, where first reports
of the Eastern meat shortage came
yesterday, it was said some stores
were completely out of meat. Beef
deliveries in Boston slumped IS to
30 per cent below normal, with one
dealer asserting I'VE don't see any
relief in sight"
A shortage of beef was reported
also in the Providence, R. l., section,
and six chain retail stores announced
they had none for sale. Philadelphia
distributors said dressed beef sup
plies were 40 per cent of normal and
predicted the supply for most dealers
would be gone by the end of the
week. New York City packers es-
timated meat deliveries had been cut
about Is per cent, but added that
no actual shortage existed. although
buyers may have to forego quality
cuts of beef and pork.
New York packers attributed the
stringency to substantial purchases
of quality cuts by the Army and
Navy, slow delivery of meat animals
to market from the country and a
strike last week in the East st.
Louis stockyards.
Supply on Hoof Ample.
Records showed Federally inspect
ed slaughter of meat animals
at all markets during the first six
months of 1912 was much greater
than in similar period last year.
Chicago packers who asked that
their names be omitted contended
that the supply of meat. in the
cooler and on the hoof, was "am-
pie" but quantity and variety may
be limited in some localities. One
of them said the Government was
taking big share" of available
meats for lease lend and military
use. that shipping facilities may be
short in war work centers and that
some professors may prefer to send
their products to city with a COM
paratively high price ceiling rather
than one with a lower limit
Another packer reported a great
and unexplained demand for beef
while lamb sales Jagged.
A Chicago trade authority who
preferred to remain anonymous said
farmers were inclined to send cattle
to market without fattening them
fully because, under the ceiling set
up. packers would not pay a good
price for heavy cattle

molten magnesium which scattered
when the jet struck produced small
ignited particles which were easily
burned out; that resulting fires on
curtains were Immediately con-
trolled without the necessity Of
changing the nozzle opening of the
hose from spray to Jet; that less
than a half minute was needed to
control both the bombs and result
ing fires; that the amount of water
required to dispose of bomb by
this method is less than half that
needed for the spray method and
that the charring of the floor surface
under the bomb was very super
fetal"
On the basis OF those tests. it was
recommended that the operator
stand more than 8 feet away from
the bomb. The importance of clear
ing infiammable material from
rooms and attic space also was
emphasized.

from the bomb. For further pro-
lection, it was suggested that the
bomb-fghter carry an ash can lid. a
small chair or a wet blanket to
shield himself.
Bomb ferror" Baseless.
Due to the 6bectional force of the
jet, the scattering of the metallic
fragments Is away from the operator
and his personal danger is min
imized. the OCD memorandum ex-
planned, emphasizing that fears
about the "terrors" of bombs have
been unjustified and caused by a
misinterpretation of the effect of the
reaction that takes place when water
strikes burning magnesium.

Battle at Novocherkassk.
The Soviet Information Bureau re-
ported at midnight that Russian
soldiers. blacing after long re-
treat across the steppes Of the Don
Cossacks. had engaged the enemy
at Novocherkassk, on a ravine-cut
plateau. and Tsimlyansk. on the
north bank of the Don midway be-
tween Rostov and strategic Stalin-
grad. Field dispatches told Of bitter
fighting at Tsimly4rfsk.
Other Germans, striking south
eastward from Boguchar in parallel
drive, were disclosed earlier to be
approaching the border of Stalingrad
Province, part of which lies within
the big bend of the Don.
Marshal Won Books offensive al

Market Juggling Hit.
He added:
Corn belt cattle and hog feeders
need assurance from Washington
that they won't have to suffer cuts
in profits every time the markets
are adjusted to suit meat retailers.
Each time the markets are juggled,
losses are rolled back on the
feeders"
In Des Moines, President Harry
Bookey of the Bookey Packing Co.
said there was no meat shortage,
but a shortage of finished cattle.

dent, to reaf1lrm jointly our whole
hearted cooperation for uninter-
rupted war production, and to give
a demonstration to our own country
and to the whole world of the unity
of purpose and action of American
management and labor. That is the
sole reason why we are here"
After seeing the labor management
group, the President scheduled a con-
ference with Mr.. Green and Daniel
Tobin, head of the AFL teamSters
union, which was to be followed by
a meeting at noon of the Labor
War Board, including AFL and CIO
leaders.
Biddle Asked for Report.
Meanwhile, Attorney General Bid
die was asked for a quick report on
the extent of the Presidents author
'ty as commander in chief and un-
der the two war powers acts, as we'll
as the basic price control law, to
order new curbs on imitation.
Mr.. Roosevelt had contemplated
sending a message to Congress this
troll the factors that are pushing the
cost of living upward, but appar-
emily the uncertainty and probable
delay of congressional action caused
him to reconsider. e
Congressional leaders who con-
ferred for two hours with the Chief
Executive yesterday on the cost of
living problem reported that he had
determined to await Mr.. Biddle' S
report before communicating with
Congress
Mr.. Roosevelt contemplated at
one time, it was learned, asking
Congress to approve a simple reso-
luton giving Price Administrator
Henderson sweeping authority to
take any steps necessary to regulate
wages or farm prices-the two
principal cost-of-living factors not
covered by the present Price Con-
troll Act.
But the Democratic leaders in
Congress frowned on that plan
telling the Chief Executive that any
such legislation would encounter
strong opposition from the farm
and labor blocs and probably be
delayed for weeks-perhaps months
Therefore. they strongly recon-
mended that he take whatever i'm
mediate steps might be necessary
ION his own hook" as one of them
termed it, If legal justification could
be found.
Speaker Rayburn told newspaper
men that the Presidents powers
ARE pretty broad and when you
try to find a limitation" on them
you've got to have a pretty fine
comb" He said the President was
making a further investigation on
that point and indicated that Con-
gress might be advised soon of the
results.
Uncertainty over whether effec-
tive controls might be established
without additional legislation was
indicated, however, by the fact that
plans for a special presidential
message to Congress were not def
nitely abandoned. Senate Majority
Leader Barkley said after the White
House conference yesterday that il
may or may not" be forthcoming
depending on the executive moves
under way, but that in any event
he believed formal recess of Con-
gress this summer is "out of the
window"
