FREDERICK, Md, March 4.-The
east span of historic jug Bridge
lay in the Monocacy River today
forcing traffic on Route 40 at that
point to detour over State road No
26 through Libertytown.
A 2O-foot section of the 133-year-
old stone structure collapsed last
night just after an automobile had
passed over it. Another approach
ing car was tagged to q stop in time
and there was no accident.
The State Roads Commission
banned trucks and buses from the
bridge February II when further
movement was noted in a long-de-
fective archway. Passenger auto
mobiles were allowed passage, but
were limited to 10 miles an hour.
The bridge derived its name from
a stone demijohn which guards the
eastern end of the span. Legend
says the builder placed a bottle OF
whisky in the jug when be COM
pleted the structure. Another vers-
ion of the story relates that soldiers

sell Young was indirectly respon-
sible for one blackout violation last
night. In the course of his tour, he
stopped on the East-West highway

The noise on the street led one
woman to push aside her curtains,
allowing light to stream from the
apartment window. She thinks it's
an accident" said a warden hurry
ing off to warn her.

PrinceGeorges
Health, Welfare
Budgets Offered
TotuI of Both Calls
For Net Increase of
About $4,000

Budgets for the coming fiscal
year for the county public health
service and Welfare Board were
presented to the Prince Georges
County Commissioners yesterday &C
their meeting yesterday in Upper
Marlboro. Both budgets were filed.
Tine Welfare Board, represented
shy B. w: Scholz, presented a budg-
ct amounting to S69,804. a reduc-
tion of about $1,000 under last
year. DR.. John B. Bvers presented
the commissioners with budget of
S20,600 for the public health serv-
ice, approximately $4,000 over last
years figure.
Dr.. Byers pointed out that the
budget provided for two additional
staff nurses. at salary of $500
annually, bringing the total for the
county up to nine Since the
county has population of more
than 100000, and since one nurse
per 10000 population is not unusual
DR.. Byers said that the figure was
not extraordinary
Provides Sanitary Inspector.
A sanitary inspector is also pro-
vided in the budget for the public
health service, DR.. Byers pointed
out. The salary for this Office will
be supplied by fees set forth in the
plumbing code which the commits
sioners adopted at last weeks meet
ing, he said. Therefore, the salary
for the sanitary inspector would
merely amount to a loan until the
fees were forthcoming.
Dr. Byers also declared the in
crease in the budget was necessi-
tated because of the raise in sala-
ries for secretaries because of the
competition of high salaries in the
District.
The public health service has
been expanded during the last year,
he said, to care for men classified as
1-B by their draft boards who are
sent to county clinics for rehabillta-
ton.
Mr.. Scholz. asked if his budget
could not be reduced since more
jobs were now available, said that
the only people now being aided by
the Welfare Board were non-em-
ployables-the blind, the aged and
minors. He stated that although liv-
ing costs have increased. the We'll
fare Board would not be able to in
crease its assistance.
Hopes for State and U. S. Aid.
In addition to county aid, the We'll
fare Board hopes to receive s237 ,583
from State and Federal aid
Thomas j. Baxter, county super
visor of assessments, discussed the
addition of 1000 homes to Green
belt. He said his valuation of the
houses and the property amounted
to $3,125,000 The Federal Housing
Authority has not agreed to this val
uation, Mr.. Baxter declared. He was
authorized by the commissioners to
write letter to the F. H. A.. which
is financing the new homes, stating
that he would reduce that figure for
taxation purposes.

DairyPrice
Raising Setup
kAssai|ed
Session Is Asked
To Avoid Meteoric
Embellishments

Agricultural Marketing Admins
traitor Roy Hendrickson today criti-
eised regulatory machinery in the
dairy industry that is used ito raise
prices continually, irrespective of
the relation which those prices bear
10 other farm prices or to city
prices"
The Agriculture Department off,
cials criticism came at the second
day session of the Northeastern
Dairy Conference in the Ambassador
Hotel.
The most useful function. he de-
clared. is to maintain fluid milk
prices in reasonable rela ton to all
other prices, and to avoid the mete-
oric maladjustments which have
characterized fluid milk markets so
often In the past He added that
"ever-present in the industry is the
temptation to use these regulatory
programs as a barrier against the
necessity for making adjustments in
milk marketing and distribution
practices"
Appeals to Consumers.
Mr.. Hendrickson also hit at pro-
ducers who sell their skim milk at
lower than production costs to COM
pete with other markets. and &C
cordingly raising fluid milk supplied
consumers to make up for the first
loss.
Commenting on remark of
Frank S. Walker, president of the
Maryland and Virginia Milk Associa-
ton and today's presiding officer
that the press was riding the
farmer, Mr HendrickSon pointed out
that consumers do not have an un-
derstanding or appreciation of
farmers problems that "beset them
"a hours a day" He said it was
urgent that consumers appreciate
these problems
In Stressing the importance of in
creased farm production for both
domestic and foreign needs, Mr.
Hendrickson declared that we must
be prepared to meet the sudden de-
mands that may come from Rus
sia and the other United Nations !"
While the need for greater pro-
duction of evaporated milk for
leaSe-lend purposes Is uncertain, he
said, the picture can change quick
ly overnight"
Russia's Needs Growing.
Russia's food needs. he added, are
tremendous and growing very fast"
Senator Brewster, Republican. of
Maine, addressing dinner meeting
last night warned that double our
present industrial and agricultural
production must be forthcoming this
year if we are to take the offensive.
Even America cannot lick the
world with one hand, yet that is
all we have been using up to the
present time. Twenty-Five per cent
of our production devoted to de-
fense is not sufficient to defeat
either Germany or Japan" he de-
clared. Fifty per cent of our pro-
duction must be devoted to offensive
action

ment efforts to check farm prices
and an appeal from the Agricul-
ture Department for increased pro-

ture Grover B. Hill asserting that
the dairy industry was very vital
to the success of this war" told
the dairymen they must find a way
to increase production. With grow
ing shortages of labor, materials
and equipment. you are going to
have to carry on against such odds

When the Patent Office was
moved to Richmond a month
ago into quarters formerly oc-
cupied by a tobacco factory,
the building on North Lom-

a fresh coat of white paint.
White paint had covered up
red brick in a neighborhood
greatly in need of improved
physical appearances. The first
large-scale Richmond blackout,
however, revealed a bombing
target so glaring that no enemy
flyer hardly could miss seeing
it. Hence the decision to paint
the building a second time in

Emotion Always. Plays Big Part In Princeton Key Games

Princeton, N. J., Nov. 10. - If Princeton can reach the right emo- tional pitch for its game with Yale at Baker Field, New York, next Sat- urday, Tad Wieman believes the Tiger eleven will have a pretty good chance of defeating the Ellis for the fifth year in a row.
 "Bill Roper instilled more than tradition at Princeton when he coined the phrase, The team that won't be beaten can't be heaten'," Wieman remarked today. Emotion, or the lack of 1t, has always played a big part in our games, more so than at many other colleges. It means that squad of average foot ball players can on occasion turn in performances full hundred per cent above their normal ability if they have their hearts set on win- hing a game"
 Wrong Outlook
 Reviewing events of the past fort night, which have been uniformly disappointing to Tiger followers, Wieman pointed out that the team had not had the right outlook for either the Harvard or Dartmouth games, Scoring two touchdowns early in the second quarter of the game at Cambridge, the Orange and Black began to coast shortly after ward and Dick Harlow's eleven capi- talized on the let-down to score its only win of the year.
 The depression" as the Nassau head coach refers to 1t, remained for the game with Fuss McLaughry's band of Indians last week, To top 1t off, the squad was beset with series of examinations which made only one full-length scrimmage pos Sible.
 Tad prefers not to commit himself to definite prediction, but he has indicated the odds are that the team will be up for Its game with Yale, He has succeeded in reaching the proper pitch in past years, and never has oyer-keyed the team as CriSler once did for the famous game of 1884
 With the exception of halfback Warren Vieth, who has been out with Q badly strained back since the Brown game, all members of the squad will be ready to face the Els, Captain Dick schmon has a bruised shoulder and Bob Perina is still slowed down Q bit by leg injury sustained against Harvard, but the team is in good shape as a whole.
 New Plays
 Yesterdays practice featured c scrimmage between the Scrubs and the members Of the team who did not play more than half the game against Dartmouth. New plays were given the Varsity in an attempt to develop an oifense which will pay of as the goal line hears.
 The Tigers were stopped several times inside Dartmouth's 3o-yard line. Each team gained about the

GOvERNALI IS ABOUT GREATEST. COLLEGE PASSER
Has Completed 73 of l36 Tries for Better Than

By PAUL SCHEFFELS United Press Stan CorrespOndentl

NSesAeSNA . AS08 6NSsAA ~yAAN0ksWAaNNAANl
 New York, Nov. l0.-(UP)-Toc few gridiron stars are shining ir eastern football this year but crink- ly-haired Paul Governali of Colum- bia, a modest, quiet-spoken kid from the Bronx, promises to make fans forget it by becoming the coun- try's greatest forward paSser.
 0overnali is called Q one-man backfield. On his l94i average alone -42 per cent of his passes complet- ed for SIS yards, 90 per cent of his teams competitive time played. 76 per cent of Columbia's yardage gained by him, he deserves the designation.
 His pitching wizardry has grown this season until he not only leads the country In passing but has been chosen by Coach Andy Kerr of Col- gate as the first player for the all- east football team which meets the western all-stars in the Shrine game at San Francisco, Jan. 1,
 we must have a good passing attack to defeat the western team" !" Kerr said. we never took one with us before, but we will this time My Colgate team beat Columbia last week, 35-26, but that by Governali gave me Q lot of anxious moments, He's the best passer I've seen in college ranks this season.
 Pros Prove Claim
 "As see 1t, there is no ade- quate defense for good passing attack" Kerr explained. Don Hut son and Cecil Isbell of the pro- fessional Green Bay Packers prove that and you must remember that that league has many more eXperi- enced players than we do in college --the kind that should be able to stop passing if 1t can be done"
 The deft Governali has been the only bright spot In poor Colum- bia team so much so that he is close to the season record of i457 yards on passes registered in 1888 by Davey o'Brien of Texas Christian and tied last season by Bud Sehwenek of Washington University, St. Louis.
 He has completed 73 of l36 at- tempts for l,l97 yards, averaging more than 20 yards per game, and still hastwo games to play, His skill has given Columbia m average of 2oo,6 yards gained by passing, q pace more than i4 yards per game bet ter than the collegiate record set by Cornell in ie40.
