CUMBERLAND, Md, March IL
Official Cumberland has no criti-
cism of the manner in which Repre-
sentative Byron, Democrat, of Mary

city at Washington, Mayor Harry
Irvine insists.
He said that he had at no time
instructed City Solicitor Charles z.
Heskett to write Mrs. Byron de-
manding an interview to discuss war
industries for Cumberland.
Mrs Byron has been good friend
of Cumberland" Mavor Irvine said.
He declared the city council would
discuss proper means of getting war
work and transferred Federal agen-
cies for Cumberland, adding that no
statement or information would be
made until this business is taken
up in the way it should be taken up"
Mrs Byron was criticized by F.
Patrick Allender. business agent of
the A. F. L. Building Trades Union.
for failure to get war contracts and
transferred agencies for Cumber-
land. A letter was to have been sent
her proposing a meeting with local
officials.
Il think the misunderstanding
arose" Mayor Irvine said, when I
asked Mr.. Allender, who had pre-
yiousiy been before a regular meeting
of the Mayor and City Council if it
was his wish that we make such a
demand. But there was never any
intention to make such a demand
nor will such demand be made"

Herndon Dairyman' S
Plea 10 Boost Price
OF Milk Weighed
Increased Overhead
Hos Erased His Profit,
He Tells Commission

BY Staff Correspondent of The Star.
HERNDON, Va, March 1.-THE
State Milk Commission today had
under Amusement the petition Of
Eugene P. Bicksler, Herndon dairy
man, to establish milk marketing
control here assuring price increases
of 2 cents quart and cent pint.
N. J. Webb of Newport News,
chairman of the commission. and
Mark Turner of Fairfax, producer
member, conducted a hearing on
the proposal in the Municipal
Building here yesterday. E. C. c.
Woods of Richmond, commission
secretary, also was present.
There were three witnesses, Mr..
Bicksler, Wilson Smith, son of
Mason F. Smith, who like Mr. Bick-
sler is a distributor in this
area, and John McDanielS, cashier
of the local bank, who testified as
a consumer.
No Longer Makes Profit.
Mr.. Bicksler told the commission
he owned a herd of II dairy COWS
maintained on four acres of land
and that cost of feed and other sup
plies had now increased to the eX-
tent of preventing his earning a
profit.
Present milk prices here are II
cents a quart and cents a pint
retail, delivered at homes. and 9
and 5 cents, respectively, wholesale.
Mr.. Bicksler also asked a 2-cent
quart increase in the wholesale
price.
Wilson Smith said that Mr.. Bicks-
Ter had requested the hearing. He
told the commission any course it
took was satisfactory with him and
his father. either to issue a mar
keting ruling to increase prices or
to allow present prices to stand.
Sees Increase Justified.
The Smiths and Mr. Bicksler are
the only licensed dairymen in
Herndon.
Mr.. McDaniels testified that as a
consumer he could not see how
local dairymen could continue op-
Grafton under present rising costs
and therefore a price increase was
justified.

War responsibilities
OF u. S. Cited to Club

Americans must increasingly ac-
cept the responsibilities and duties
that go with freedom and liberty,
DR.. Reuben G. Steinmeyer. professor
of political science at the University
of Maryland, told the Mems Club of
the Church of the Ascension, Silver
Spring. last night.
The Pearl Harbor bombing by the
japanese will go down in history as
a definite break between old and
new interpretations of democracy,
he said. If the United States meets
the emergency now, nations in
political upheaval after the war will
be able to copy American democracy
so established, he declared, pointing
out the difficulty in forcefully i'm
posing any type of government on
the peoples.
DR.. Steinmeyer reviewed historical
highlghts of Japan and China. He
said the latter and Russia will
occupy important roles in making

ALEXANDRIA,, Va, March IL
The Alexandria City Council last
night decided to submit to vote of
the people the issue of Sunday sale
of beer and light wines as raised by
the local Ministerial Association.
The Council took the position it
had no right to determine whether
the people wanted beer and wine
sold on Sunday" said City Manager
Carl BudWeSky. Date for ref
erendum has not yet been set.
Action on the proposed anneXa-
ton of nearby areas south and west
of the city in Fairfax County was
deferred. The proposal was placed
before the Council in the form of
a resolution from the Chamber of
Commerce.
Acting on the results of a study
by the city attorney, the Council
decided to abandon any effort to
abrogate the City'S agreement with
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission for maintenance
of Mount Vernon Memorial high
way. The city has desired for some
time to connect property north of
the Lamond brickyard with the
highway by a new access road. This
move has been halted by the plan
ming commission. The city attorney
reported the Council had no legal
authority to abrogate the agree
ment.
The Council appropriated $4,000
to cover for one year the cost of
supervision at six municipal play
grounds after school hours.
