Hearings Sought on Bill
To License Underfakers

Charging that a small minority"
of their profession is endeavoring
to create a monopoly in the District,
40 undertakers here submitted a
petition to the House District Com
mittee late yesterday, asking that
open hearings be held on bill
which has passed the Senate, re-
quiring that undertakers be licensed.
The measure is sponsored by Sen
ator Bilbo, Democrat, of Mississippi
and passed the Senate July 7, with
out any hearings being held. 1t
would set up an examining board of
seven, six of whom would be under
takers, to pass on the qualifications,
training and experience of all those
seeking an undertakers or en-
balmer's license.
The petition declares that eff
Congress gives power to these six
undertakers to control the entire
undertaking business in the Dis
trict of Columbia, we feel it would
create a monopoly by few persons
that would definitely work a hard
ship In the performance of our du-
ties"
The bill sis being run through
Congress" the petitioners say, with
out their having been given an op-
portunity to express their opposi-
ton. President Roosevelt vetoed
similar legislation two years ago,
they point out. The President
argued then that the District Com
missioners already have sufficient
authority TO regulate and control
the practices of members of their
profession.

Milk Drivers
Hold Up Strike
For Ten Days
Delay Voted After
AFL Threatens to
Revoke Charter

District milk drivers last night
postponed for 10 days their threat
ened citywide strike, after threat
to revoke their local charter had
been made by international union
officers.
Business Agent Eugene r. Hub
bard of Local 246, Milk Drivers and
Dairymens Union today said respon-
sibility for strike would rest on
the dairy owners. I'VE are ready
to negotiate and are willing to let
an arbiter decide it, but I can't hold
these men in line forever" Mr.. Hub
bard asserted.
Hope that wage and hour scale
differences might be adjusted in the
To-day period was seen in tele-

The war, among other things, has
driven Washington's Boy Scout
Troop 666 right out into the open
air.
The boys are out one handsome
clubhouse and the United States
Navy has one more building in the
crowded District.
The Scouts, of course, aren't
grousing. They seem pretty proud,
in fact, that they had something
Uncle Sam needed that they could
turn over to him.
So last night the lads of Troop 666
gathered for the last time at their
"shack" on the American University
grounds, to turn it over officially,
with becoming ceremony, to a repre-
sentative of the Navy.
The troop inherited the building
six years ago, after the Agriculture
Department decided it didn't want
it any more Agriculture had been
using it as a Weather Bureau out
post and as a storage room for $4,000
samples of soil, after inheriting it
from the Chemical Warfare Service,
which built it during World War I.
$1,000 Spent on Improvements.
The Scouts had built themselves
quite a place, after moving out the
soil, painting the building, putting
on a new roof, redecorating the
three-room interior with log cabin
like walls and false stone fireplace.
Altogether something like 81, 900 was
spent on improvements.
Then last week, while the boys of
Troop 666 were enjoying the cool
country air at Camp Roosevelt, came
a call to DR.. H. L. Quincy, their
scoutmaster. The Navy wants the
shack; get the Scout stuff out, was
the purport of the message. And
one week ago last night the troop
met there for the last time, amid
the Welter of debris, lumber and
sawhorses that carpenters refur-
bishing a building for the Navy
might leave about.
Last night they came, but didn t
stay, hanging around just long
enough to pose for a photographer

Weighs Appeal
To Put Cellar on
Gasoline Prices
Small Eastern Dealers
Fear Big Firms May
Try to Corner Business

Proposal for a cellar as we'll as
q ceiling on gasoline prices, with q
view to protecting independent
dealers, was under consideration to-
day at the ONCE of Price Admin
istration.
The request was made yesterday
by representative of gasoline dealers
In the rationed East. They told
Joel Dean, chief of the OPA gasoline
rationing section, that they were
afraid they would be driven out of
business If the big dealers launched
a price war in an effort to corner
the business.
II the price of gas had both a
minimum and maximum, it was
explained, the smaller dealers
would have better chance of stay
ing in business.
Get Little Encouragement.
1t was reported that the delega-
ton received little encouragement.
OPA, it was pointed out, tries to
keep prices from advancing rather
than maintain minimum prices.
The independent dealers also
sought Government loans to enable
them to weather financial difficulties
and debt moratoriums to aid them
in their competition with power
fully financed chains. 1t was un-
derstood this petition might be
referred to Federal loan agencies.
The independents were represent
ed by delegation from the Eastern
States Conference of Gasoline Deal
ers, headed by John Dressler, presi-
dent of the New Jersey Gasoline
Retailers Association, and Sol Her.
zog, counsel for the conference.
Applications "Incomplete."
Meanwhile, the OPA warned mo-
torists that many applications for
supplementary gasoline rations were
incomplete, incorrect or vague"
and so were being rejected. The
need for more gasoline than A ra-
ton books allow must be shown
clearly, with precise information on
necessary mileage and the distance
driven by each car used by a car
sharing club.
Even if you are a preferred
user" said OPA, you must fill out
the application completely. The
fact that you are a doctor, a min
lister or war worker does not free
you from proving your case"
A number of applications incor-
rectly filled out came from the
Rockville area of Montgomery
County, Md, it was reported at OPA.

They seemed mildly perturbed, may
be, but not worried, nor were they
complaining.
II wonder where we're going to
meet tonight" was the closest thing
to complaint that could be heard
as a large part of the 81 members
of the troop untangled themselves
from bicycles to step before the
cameras.
Then, as the bulb was about to
flash:
You want very sorrowful look,
don't you?" came disdainfully from
a 13-year- -old, who wasn't going to
let anything like loss of his club
house stife his good nature. His
feelings seemed to be echoed. The
Navy, the Scouts indicated, has
lot more important things to do right
now than we do.
People Can "Just Wonder"
So ScoutmaSter Quincy took down
the sign, handed the key to Ensign
w. C. Smith and the home of Troop
666 became part of the Navy.
whats the Navy going to use
it for?" Ensign Smith was asked.
You just say in the paper that
it was turned over to the Navy" he
replied.
Isn't it going to be used for off,
GERS quarters for new mine dis
posal school here at the university?"
Mine disposal school? Never
heard of it," said the ensign. Just
say it was turned over to the Navy
There's no mine disposal school
around here"
IF we just say it was turned over
to the Navy people are going to
be wondering why in the world the
Navy had to take over Boy Scout
shack way out here at American
University" he was told.
well, that's all I can tell you,"
Ensign Smith maintained. They'll
just have to wonder"
