County Heads Weigh
Proposal 10 Extend
Dog Quarantine
Dr.. Brueckner Urges Bon
On Area Between Upper
Marlboro and Howard Line

A proposal that the present dog
quarantine in Prince Georges
County be extended to include the
area between Upper Marlboro and
the Howard County line was before
the county commissioners today.
The request was made by DR.. A
l.. Brueckner, acting director of the
State Livestock Sanitary Service at
the University of Maryland, at the
commissioners meeting yesterday
in Upper Marlboro DR.. Brueckner
also urged that the ban, scheduled
to end December l6 be extended for
an additional 80 days.
Declaring that rabid dogs have
been reported recently in Bowie and
Beltsville, DR.. Brueckner pointed
out that the disease apparently is
spreading beyond the quarantined
area and that further restrictions
are needed
Board Defers Action.
After Commissioners Theodore
Siehler and D. Leonard Dyer op-
posed the proposal as unnecessary,
DR.. Brueckner said he would in
vestigate the matter further. The
board then deferred action pending
the result Of his investigation
Although Commissioner William
A. Carson admitted DR.. Brueckner
had authority to impose the quaran-
tine without the commissioners ap-
proval, the livestock service director
assured the board that he preferred
to have the cooperation of the
county heads in such a matter.
The Montgomery County commits
sioners last week approved similar
request by DR.. Brueckner to extend
the dog quarantine to include vir-
tually the entire county, with the
exception of the Laytonsville and
Olney districts.
Approximately 80 residents of the
Villa Heights and Woodley Hills
subdivisions appeared before the
board with reference to proposed
street improvements in the area.
Contract Award Opposed.
V. V. Vaughan, president of the
Villa Heights Citizens Association
explained that some" opposition
had been expressed by residents to
the awarding of a contract for the
construction of concrete streets in
the area, and that the matter had
been brought before the board for
decision.
He explained that while SO resi-
dents of the two subdivisions had
approved the proposed contract at
recent meeting, opponents later
circulated petition and obtained
38 signatures.
After the commissioners heard
both factions arguments, they sug-
gested that the residents hold an
other meeting and try to get to-
gether,"
The lowest bid-s76. .O0O-was sub
mltted about two weeks ago by
Potts and Callahan. 1t was esti-
mated that under this estimate
residents would pay approximately
$40 each a front fot.
Asked whether they would ap-
prove the construction of black
top streets in the area, the COM
missioners said that while such
streets have proved unsatisfactory,
they would be forced to advertise
for bids under the terms of the
law affecting special improvement
districts.

Loggers and Miners
10 Receive Additional
Meat al Rations
Fishermen, Sheepherders,
Others Far From Fresh
Food Stocks to Benefit
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
Extra meat and fat rations for
dodgers, miners, fishermen, sheep
herders ana others remote from
fresh food supplies were announced
today by the Office of Price Ad-
ministration.
Effective May % the added allot-
ment ranges up to 18 ration points
a day for those eligible.
This is the equivalent Of more
than a IS per cent increase in the
Is points a week received by the
ordinary civilian. If used for ham,
burger it would command a little
more than 2la pounds week.
The decision came after weeks Of
wavering by OPA and strong pres
sure from mining and logging areas
where workers were reported quit
ting because meat rations assertedly
were inadequate to sustain them.
The extra allotment, OPA said,
may be obtained only by applying
to OPA regional Offices, or such dis
trlct offices or ration boards as the
regional office shall specify. Certifi-
Gates will be issued instead of stamps.
Less than 18 points will be allowed
any applicant to whom limited guam
titles of fresh fish, poultry and eggs
are available. The regional offices
have been instructed to make 1.8
points daily the maximum allowance,
a figure reached after consultation
with the War Food Administration.
Institutions as we'll as individuals
may apply for special allotments but
only those who feed employees in
connection with their occupation,
including logging camps, fishing
boats, mines and so on.
The prime test of eligibility will
be accessibility to runrationed fish,
poultry or eggs. Fishermen, who
have unlimited access to fish, will
not be ruled out on that account,
however, If they are not able to get
poultry and eggs.

Controversy over a move to trim
the budget of the National Re-
sources Planning Board from ST.
100000 to 100000 beclouded to-
day the future of the Govern
ment's most prolific future plan

Acting Chairman McKellar of the
Senate Appropriations Committee
told reporters he would seek to
raise the allotment for the Presi-
dents long-range planning group
to S534,422, the figure recon-
mended by subcommittee but re-
jected by the full group.
The House provided nothing at
all for the storm-tossed board
headed by Frederic A. Delano, an
uncle of President Roosevelt, when
it sent the s2,62o,000,00O indepen-
dent offices appropriations bill to
the Senate.

into q deficiency appropriation bill

Federal funds for the planning
agency.

We've set up congressional COM
mlttee under Senator George to de-
wise a procedure on postwar plan
ming, and I'm assuming that COM
mlttee will do the job," Senator Nye
told reporters.
Mr.. Roosevelt, in a personal ap-
peal to the Appropriations Commit
tee against being penny wise" and
dollar foolish" said coordination
OF planning would save millions of
dollars in the long run.
Ignoring this plea, the commit =
tee rejected the $4,000 budget,
allowed 100000 for coordination of
local and State planning, and wrote
in prohibition against President
Roosevelts transferring executive
war emergency funds to the agency.
The agency frequently has been a
target for criticism by members Of
