Budget Cuts Handicap Librory's
Effort toMeet Wartime Demand
Commissioners Trim Item for Purchasing Books
And Periodicals, Although Recognizing Need

Aside from removing items that
would have allowed the added serv-
ices at the Chevy Chase and Wood
ridge branches, the budget elimi-
mated three new positions that
would have permitted establishment
of the proposed branch at Lang
ston Terrace.
"The library" said the Commits
sionerS in a report to the Budget
Bureau, has always offered library
service without discrimination to
color, but the library has no branch
in an all-Negro neighborhood. The
availability of quarters, rent free, in
the Langston Terrace housing de-
velopment for Negroes offers an ad-
mirable opportunity to establish a
branch stated with competent
Negro librarians and serving not
only the residents of the Langston
Tererace development, but also the
Browne Junior High School and res
idents of the neighborhood and the
Deanwood community across the
Anacostia River, estimated at be-
tween 5000 and 10000"
Altogether, the budget recon-
mends an appropriation of s637, 731
for operation and maintenance of
the library system in the 1914 fiscal
year. The appropriation for the
current fiscal year was s749,54

City 10 Eliminate
Traffic Signals at
Nine intersections
Lights Also Ordered Out
At Two Other Crossings
With Van Duzer Report

Elimination of traffic lights at
nine intersections and stopping the
operation of lights at two more In
tersections were ordered yesterday
by the Commissioners after Traffic
Director William A. Van Duzer had
submitted report showing vef1icu-
lar or pedestrian trafic had declined
to points below the accepted rule for
use of lights.
The report indicated that still more
lights may be turned off or removed
in the future. for Mr.. Van Duzer
reported counts have not been COM
pleted yet at As intersections. and
his figures showed that at 60 other
intersections the latest count showed
traffic at less than the Standard
1900 cars or $50 pedestrians crossing
per hour, for period of eight hours.
Signals are to be eliminated at the
following intersections:
Maryland avenue and Third. Sew
enth, Ninth, Tenth, Twelfth and G
streets, all Northeast; Eleventh and
K streets NE. and on E at TWEEN
tieth and Twenty first streets NV.
Signals are to be turned off but
not removed from the intersections
of New York avenue NV. and Sew
enteenth and Eighteenth streets.
Traffic officials said these should be
turned on again when traffic again
warrants
Restrictions on gasoline and the
use Of private cars were given as the
reason for declining traffic, and in
the case of the Maryland avenue
intersections and Eleventh and K
streets NV, officials said there was
the added factor of the opening of
new arteries to Baltimore and An
napolis roads.
Mr.. Van Duzer reported that the
highway planning survey showed for
last month a % per cent reduction
in morning rush hour traffic, from
December, 194l, Is per cent re-
duction in the evening rush period
For November, he said, the de-
crease was "a per cent, and a "a per
cent reduction in a 24-hour count
ing Traffic counts, he said, indi-
cate 80 per cent increase in pedes-
rrian traffic for the fall of 1912 over
194I.
The Van Duzer report showed
that of the Asst intersections having
signals, 287 of them showed traffic
of more than 800 vehicles per hour
or more than $50 pedestrians pei
hour, and that with recent traffic
reductions, the count still should be
more than 1000 cars per hour.
Placed in separate categories were

Housewives
DepIete Stock
OF Bread Knives

1t isn't enough that housewives
must pitch into the art of learning
again to slice their own bread, but
they can't even get the necessary
implements for such an operation.
This problem was revealed yester-
day when District housewives, fol-
lowing the OPA order banning the
sale of sliced bread. thronged hard
ware stores and other establishments
in reach of the right kind of knife.
But they were unable to find them.
Local bakers reported customers
were purchasing unsliced bread as
readily as they did the ready cut
kind, but the women became ex-
asperated when they tried to use
pairing knives or butcher knives to
cut 1t. B
The OPA order resulted from the
inability of bakers to obtain 200
blades required by the average Sic
ing machine every few months. The
intricate machines also have been
breaking down continuously and
parts are difficult to replace, it was
reported.

Second Morale Plot
Indictment Attacked

A six-point plea in abatement. the
initial legal action challenging the
second of two Government indict-
ments against a group of alleged
conspirators. was on file today in
District Court in behalf of James c..
True of Arlington, Va.
The plea was filed by John It.
Bonner, counsel for True, one of 33
persons charged with conspiring to
undermine the morale of the armed
forces.
Among the contentious is charge
that the grand jury which returned
the indictment was controlled or
influenced to great extent" by
William P. Maloney, special assistant
to the Attorney General, who is
handling the Government prosecu-
ton.
Mr.. True also was indicted on the
first conspiracy charge with 81 other
persons, The validity of this indict-
ment is under direct attack.
According to papers filed by Mr..
Bonner in behalf of Mr.. True, the
second lndlctment is faulty Tor the
following reasons: The grand jury
which returned the indictment did
not have sufficient evidence; the
grand jury was biased; the grand
jury was controlled or influenced to
a great extent by Mr.. Maloney; the
grand jury was used by Mr.. Maloney
to ''harrass and embarraSs' Mr. True
and was not used for the purpose for
which 1t may legally be created; the
Indictment was not the result of a
secret, impartial investigation and
the supposedly secret affairs of the
jury were we'll known to persons not
entitled to this knowledge and one
writer for the Washington Post
publicized results of the jury's in
vestigations prior to the time these
results were made known to the
court.

Milk Hearing
Told Firms Can
Absorb Costs
Witness Asserts
Economies Could
Meet Increases

A large part, If not all, OF the in
crease in milk prices paid the farm
ers could be absorbed If economies
were effected by the milk delivery
companies. Mrs. Edward B. Morris,
spokesman for the Fort Davis and
Randle Highland Citizens AsSocia-
ton, testified today at farm milk
price hearings in the Agriculture
Department.
The heads of large distributing
concerns" said Mrs. Morris, ARE
getting rich at the expense of the
poorest children, and this, IN spite
of the fact that weekly salaries of
at least some drivers are as high
as $129."
The hearing is being held on a
petition of the Virginia. Maryland
Milk Producers Association ITO in
crease prices to farmers in the
Washington milkshed by 2 cents a
quart.
Two consumer representatives
asked that milk rationing be insti-
tuted should a milk shortage de-
velop. They were Mrs. Nellie Lo-
REM of the District OCD Milk Com
mittee and Mrs. Paul Reiber of the
League of Women Shoppers.
Mrs. Lorenz also recommended the
elimination of ice cream and coffee
cream in case the supply of milk
runs short.
Office of Price Administration
freezing of present milk prices
should not prevent an increase for
the farmer, B. B. Derrick, secre-
tary-treasurer of the producers as
ISOLATION, testified yesterday. There
is no legal reason why OPA prices
cannot be changed, he added. Pres
ent prices are IS cents quart deliv-
} cred and % cents for 2-quart con-
tanners in the stores.
Farmer after farmer took the
stand to testify that they we're max
ing out better selling second-rate
milk cows for 500 each for beef on
the Baltimore market. The re-
quested increase of SO cents hun
dredweight ($357 to $4.50) for fluid
milk would keep such cows in pro-
duction, they said
Mr.. Derrick testified that present
prices are not producing sufficient
supply of milk for Washington.
This area, which used to have a
surplus, now has deficit. he said.
He displayed a large chart showing
that production in the milkshed
dropped 10000 gallons day below
sales for the last part of the year.
Local distributors import the differ
ence from other areas.

Henderson Sought
Steuart Resignation,
Leary Admits
Controversy Blamed
For Attempted Custer
Of DC. Rotionine Officio

Whitney Leary, District OPA di-
rector, today admitted that he had
been asked by Leon Henderson to
request the resignation of L. P.
Steuart, rationing officer for the
District, and that he had trans
mitted the request to Mr.. Steuart.
Mr.. Leary said the request had
come from the former price admin
istrator last Friday. He said he had
received no reply from Mr.. Steuart.
Mr.. Steuart still could not be
reached for comment. At his office
it was said he was visiting some of
the rationing boards. A check of
all of the Is area rationing boards,
however, disclosed that he had not
been at any of them this morning.
Controversy Blamed.
Mr.. Henderson, before his retire
ment as price administrator, had
asked Mr.. Steuart's resignation, it
was understood, as the result of a
controversy that developed between
local rationing authorities and the
oil firm of L. P. Steuart 81 Bro. of
which he is listed as president.
Curtis Steuart. secretary and
treasurer of the firm and nephew
of l.. P. Steuart, said yesterday his
uncle had not been active in the
management of the concern for the
past 10 years. He also pointed out
that L. p Steuart is not the con-
trolling stakeholder and that his
name had been retained for its
advertising value.
There was some speculation today
that Mr.. Henderson, in ordering MIR.
Steuart's resignation had been act
ing under an OPA procedural regu-
lation which specifies that no board
member shall act officially in con-
nection with any matter arising in
the administration of any rationing
order where such board mem
Der has any interest in such matter
by reason of business connections or
relations by blood, marriage or adop-
/ ton
Had Reserve Stocks.
Application of the anti-diScrim-
ination order on fuel oil recently
peculiarly affected the Petrol Co,
an associate of the L. P. Steuart 81
Bro. firm, since Petrol at the time
had no reserve stocks of oil which
1t at first refused to sell to dealers
other than its regular customers.
Later 1t agreed to supply dealers
generally, and the Steuart company
in turn, advertised it was willing to
sell oil to any consumer who was
completely out of oil.

Noted French Biogropher Calls
Roosevelt Supreme Leader
Here for Lecture,
Mourois Hopes for

ognizes only one supreme leader
today-President Roosevelt.
M Maurois, who has been in this
country since the fall of France,
said he had offered his services to
Gen. Henri Giraud as soon as he
learned the general had arrived in
North Africa.
But If President Roosevelt told
me Gen. de Gaulle was my leader"
he said, Il would accept that order
without question. Remember. I am
still an officer in the French Army"
Leaders Unimportant.
To M. Maurois, leaders aren't i'm
portant just now. And the political
debates that are going on over North
Africa are significant to him only
in that, if continued, they will de-
tract from the primary objective of
liberating France.
Later the French can argue
among themselves, he said. And
they will. But now, anything that
divides Frenchmen among them
selves is bad"
The French author said he was
hopeful that any differences be-
tween Gen. de Gaulle and Gen.
Giraud would soon be reconciled.
All Seek Axis Defeat.
They are not divided on the big
the Axis out of
France and liberating the French
people" he said. 80 there is really
no reason why the lesser points of
conflict cans be settled
