Boy Scouts Distribute
Hondbi|Is Appealing
For Cooperation

The Department of Vehicles and
Traffic today launched a new Of
fensive against the Districts mount
ing traffic toll that has claimed the
lives of 40 men, women and children
since January /.
One hundred uniformed Boy
Scouts began distributing 100000
special handbills today at Is major
intersections in the downtown area.
The handbills, prepared by the Traf-
fic Department, call attention to the
fact that traffic deaths are soaring
to an all-time record and must be
halted through converted public ac-
ton
stop itl" the handbil1 reads.
The lives of our citizens are being
snuffed out at an appalling rate on
the streets of Washington. Traffic
accidents have doubled the death
toll for this time last year. You are
a part of the biggest and busiest.
Capital in the world We are all
out for victory. We must be all out
for safety. Don't take chances. Drive
and walk with the greatest care and
help to :. Stop it!'
Unequaled Toll Feared.
Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer declared that unless the walk
ing and motoring public comes to
realize the seriousness of what is
going on, I'VE are going to have
1912 death toll unequaleC in our
history
In spite of coming restrictions on
the use of motor vehicles" he added,
there is still going to be a large
number of vehicles in use and more
persons than ever will take to walk
ing"
For the benefit of newcomers
here, the traffic director cited regu-
lations governing the walking habits
of pedestrians. He said the law
reads:
mo pedestrian "' shall disobey
the instructions of an applicable Of
fetal traffic sign or signal unless
| directed to do SO by police officer.
Police officers shall have full power
TO regulate pedestrian =" traffic" !"
Pedestrians Top List.
The regulations, he emphasized,
also forbid pedestrians to use any
roadway between intersections when
vehicle is approaching from either
direction so as to constitute hazard
for his own safety or use such road
way at any time in negligent or
reckless manner"
Mr.. Van Duzer said pedestrians
have formed the bulk of the traffic
toll this year and that in most in
stances they were killed because of
negligent or careless walking habits.

Farm Leaders CHARGE
Unloading Fee Racket
Before House probers
Purported Union Agents
Said to Mulet Virginia.
Pennsylvania Truckers

Charges that farmers trucks en-
tering markets at Philadelphia,
Scranton, New York and Newark
were forced to pay 'racketeers' for
unloading today were in the record
of the House Judiciary Subcommit-
tee holding hearings on bills to make
unions liable to prosecution under
the antitrust laws.
The charges were made yesterday
by spokesmen for Pennsylvania
farmers cooperative groups and
Virginia farmers, who presented re-
ceipts from unloaders, some of
which were purportedly signed by
representatives of the American
Federation of Labor Teamsters'
Union. The Supreme Court held re-
Gently that the New York local of
this union could not be prosecuted
under the Federal anti-racketeering
act for forcing incoming truckers to
hire one of their members to handle
their cargo in New York.
Explaining that there is no way
to tell if the unloaders actually are
members of the union, DR.. E. l..
Nixon, of the Pennsylvania State
College, a member of the Pennsyl-
vania Cooperative Potato Growers
Association, submitted approxi-
mately 1000 receipts from unloaders
which he called racket fees" The
receipts called for sums ranging
from s250 to SO, and DR.. Nixon
said there was no uniform basis of
charge. TT varies more with the
resistance of the driver either from
his persuasive ability or out of re-
Spect for his size" he said
In the New York case it was dis
closed that the union was exacting
fee equal to a days pay for a
union driver.
E. H Wood of Charlottesville
Va. and H L. Wood of Crozet, Va,
said that -four or five men" jumped
on their trucks as they entered
Scranton and forced them to pay
$3.50 and $3.50 to have apples un-
loaded They had intended to un-
load the apples themselves. they

Farmers 10 Receive
More Pay for Milk
Used for Cream
Producers Association
Agrees to Try Out
Marketing PIun

Washington dairies will have TO
pay farmers more for milk used for
cream and other special purposes,
under a new milk marketing order
which the board of directors of the
Maryland and Virginia Milk Pro-
ducers' Association has ratified, but
whether the plan will raise the retail
price of any milk products remains
to be determined after the new scale
has been tried out.
A dairy ofiicial said nothing would
be done by the dealers before May
about the price of milk and cream.
He pointed out that the ONCE of
Price Administration might place
a ceiling on dairy products. in which
event no change could be made in
milk prices.
The marketing order, proposed by
Secretary of Agriculture Wickard,
was approved by the producers asso-
citation under protest" because the
farmers doubt whether they will
gain any substantial benefit.
The action of the producers, how
ever.s gives Secretary Wickard au-
thority to put the new schedule into
effect as soon as it Is signed by
President Roosevelt.
Milk Price Unchanged.
The agreement does not change
the price to be paid dairy farmers
for milk which dealers sell as milk.
It remains at 1857 hundredweight,
plus premiums averaging 80 cents,
making the total average $500. But
for milk used by dealers for all
other purposes-f1uid cream, choco-
late milk. skim milk, buttermilk and
favored milk drinks-the amount to
be paid the producers is increased by
s147 a hundredweight.
In commenting on the resolution
of approval voted by the directors,
B. B. Derrick, manager of the Mary
land and Virginia Milk Producers
Association. said the dairymen still
were opposed to the principle of
combining fluid milk and fluid cream
in the same class, but that they
voted to accept Mr.. Wickard's mar
keting amendments to avoid possible
i'll effects that might result from
suspension of the order. 1t was not
possible to vote separately on the
various provisions of the order, Mr..
Derrick explained, adding:
IF there Is no loss of fluid cream
sales and If there Is no 'bootlegging,
and if it is possible to maintain the
cream price at the high level sug-
gested, then and only then will
dairymen receive any real increase
in price from the adoption of these
amendments. However, we are
willing to try it, and If it works, we
will be the first ones to favor it"
Three-Fourths Vote.
The associations approval, Mr..
Derrick pointed out, gives Secretary
Wickard the necessary three-fourths
vote of the producers, since an
overwhelming number are repre-
sented by the organization.
While no announcement of any
plan to raise retail prices has been
made by the dairies, the Chestnut
Farms Chevy Chase Dairy, the larg-
est in the city, filed on April IA
protest against the proposed mar
keting amendment. The company
predicted that 1t would bring an in
crease of cents half pint in cream
and of ] cent quart in milk. The
present delivered price of milk is Is
cents quart and of cream is cents
a half pint.

Roosevelt Address to Feature
Naval Medical Center Rites
Seven-Seo Radio Hookup to Garry Word
Of Dedication at Bethesda Tomorrow

we'll recall some of the feats of
heroism involving naval doctors
which abound in American naval
archives.
1t was a naval medical officer
DR.. Richard c. Edgar-to whom
Capt. Lawrence spoke the words
destined to become the motto of
the service: Don't give up the
ship" Mortality wounded in the
engagement with the Shannon, the
commander Of the Chesapeake di-
rected DR.. Edgar to relay the order
to the officer in charge of the deck.
The first American naval surgeon
was Joseph Harrison, who was
aboard the Alfred in ITS when her
first lieutenant hoisted the first
American flag to fly from a warship.
1t was the famous don't tread on
me" banner. The lieutenant was
John Paul Jones.
Ambler's Name Recalled.
Another name high on the list of
medical heroes is that of DR.. James
Markham Amber, who lost his life
while serving with the De Long
expedition to the Arctic in 1879
1881. After the exploration ship
Jeanette was crushed by ice, some
OF the party reached the Siberian
mainland, but the remainder-in-
cluding De Long and DR.. Amber
perished of cold and starvation
The courage and fortitude of the
doctor were attested by members of
the expedition who escaped.
In the early days of the Navy,
a ships surgeon received $25 a
month and had the status of a
hired hand-his job lasted only as
long as his ship.
The first chief of the Navv's Medi-
cal Bureau was PHILADELPHIA born
William Paul Crillon Barton. He
was appointed in 1912 after having
served in the Navy, off and on, for
SO years.
