their bit of the 100000 900 Victory

attitude. One chairman of a domi-
nant committee said:
I'm sorry to say haven't bought
a single War bond this year. My
daughter was in a serious automo-
bile accident and recently was op-
Grated on for the 10th time. Hos

have proved crushing burden. I
still owe the doctors a great deal
of money and am making monthly
payments. My inability to put 10
per cent or more into War bonds
has greatly troubled me, but l ask
myself if it is really right for me
to buy these bonds with money due
my creditors"
IT'S not our purpose to embarrass
any one, Senator the bondman
replied. Frankly, in view of what
you tell me. don't feel I should ask
you for subscription.
But want to give you Subscrip-

fine thing you fellows are doing and
I don't want to be the man respon-

DC. Butter SHORTAGE
Limits Buyers 10
HaIf-Pound Lots
Deliveries to DeuIers
Cut to 50 Pct. or Less
Thon Usual Supplies

An acute butter shortage has
developed in the District. it was
learned last night, and Agricul-
ture Department officials are
taxing steps to relieve the situa-
ton.
Wholesalers and dealers here in
the last few days have been able
to get only half or one-third Of their
normal butter supplies. Many stores
are limiting customers to purchases
OF only one-half pound and others
to quarter OF a pound.
Roy F. Hendrickson, chief of the
distribution section of the Agri-
culture Department, was reported
aware Of the serious situation and
was taking steps to remedy it.
Half Of Stocks Frozen.
The shortage here developed sud-
denly. Last month, the War Pro-
duction Board froze so per cent of
butter stocks in warehouses, At
the time Of this action, officials in
dicated that Washington would not
be affected as seriously as other
parts of the country.
1t was learned, meanwhile, that
Food Administration officials have
been urged to establish BUTTERFLIES"
and "milkless' days throughout the
country to meet the growing short
age Of dairy products. No decision
has been reached on this plan, how
ever.
Some oficials have suggested that
s1ch voluntary plan to conserve
dAiry products might avert ration
ing Of milk and butter. 1t was sug-
gfsted that adults be urged to do
without milk and butter over week
ends. Supplies of butter and milk
for children would not be affected by
this plan.
Poultry Rationing Studied.
Food Administrator officials also
are debating the possibility of bring
ing poultry in under the meat
rationing program which is to start
early next year.
Previously, 1t had been planned
to leave poultry unrationed as a
safety valve But supplies are
getting shorter every day, and it is
possible that poultry will be ra-
toned along with other meat items.
Previous estimates on the size
OF the meat ration to be allowed
Americans are being revised down
ward. Lately, Food Administration
offlcials have been talking in terms
OF two pounds week per person.
Both the armed forces and Lease
Lend demands for food products
have been extremely heavy in re-
cent weeks, and there is every indi-
cation that previous estimates of
the size of these demands will have
to be revised.

Sandy Point Is Chosen
As Terminal for Ferry

!
ANNAPOLIS, Md, Feb. 14-Sandy
Point has been officially selected as
the site for the western shore ter
minal of the Chesapeake ferry sys-
tenn, Gov. O'Conor disclosed yester-
day.
Gov. O'Conor said that although
the necessary land at Sandy Point
has not been acquired by the State
Roads Commission, which operates
the ferry system, he understood the
transaction would be completed
soon.
Location of the terminal at Sandy
Point would, Gov. OConor said, re-
duce the Annapolis-Matapeake
crossing time from As minutes to
20 to Is minutes Asserting this
would benefit civilian passengers, he
added that it also assures quick
movement of troops from the west
ern to the eastern shore in case of
an emergency"
Once the land is purchased, the
terminal should be constructed
within three months, Gov. O'Conor
predicted The present terminal
here must be abandoned because it
is in an area being taken over for
expansion of the Naval Academy.
Sandy Point, north of Annapolis,
will be connected with the Governor
Ritchie highway by a new road to
be constructed along with the ter
minal, Gov. O'Conor declared.

Arlington Faces
Tax Increase,
Official Says

Further acquisition of taxable
lands in Arlington County by the
Federal Government, already indi-
Gated this year, will result in an
increased county tax rate to con-
tinue the functions of the county
government, Commissioner of Reve-
nue. Harry K. Green said yesterday.
The Federal Government las. year
acquired land valued at $772,900,
which represents $20,868 tax loss
to the county.
At the same time, Mr.. Green esti-
mated that the population of the
county has increased to 74,826 per-
sons since the 1910 census, which
gave the county population sas
slightly more than $1,000.
The estimate was based on an
average of 36 persons for each
family unit and the figures for new
construction in the county last year,
which brought the total number of
family units in the county to 20,785
New construction for 1941 will
show an increased valuation of
S6,465 900, although the net increase
for tax purposes will amount to
S., ,656, 900, Mr.. Green said.
