~ our national policy is
coming to a complete mobiliza-
ton of manpower. Gradually,
but none-the-less certainly, each
move made by the government
is carrying us toward the ulti-
mate goal of about war effort.
Domestic casualties there will
be aplenty. Cas-
Director ualties in loss Of
Byrnes profits, loss Of
Speaks gross business,
even the wiping
out of many businesses. In the
war plants there will be added
demands for more and more
production. And in the build
ing of our armed forces there
will be a greater and greater
demand for men physically fit
and qualified for the most i'm
portant effort Of all.
1t seems odd to many of US
that it should be necessary for
a man as high in our Govern
ment as is the Director of
Economic Sterilization, James
F. Byrnes, to call the nations
attention to the need for sac
rifice. Yet in the radio speech
Of Director Byrnes on Tuesday
night he minced no words in
presenting the war picture.
That there will be an invasion of
Europe he left no doubt. That
in such an invasion our coun-
try will suffer greater losses in
sacrifice of men than we have
ever known he gave forewarn-
ing. That control of prices is
essential to the well-being OF
s. =
the nation he made very clear.
And, he stated, there is just as
good reason to conscript the
dollars of one person as to
conscript the son of another.
There is nothing we have which
should not be placed at the dis
posal of our fighting men,
whether it be time, money or
talent.
Mr.. Byrnes dwelt at length
on the unhealthy condition
created by the voluntary trans
fer of many farm workers to
war work areas where the rate
of pay is higher.
Regarding the farm problem
and rationing the following
quotation from Director Byrnes
sets forth so clearly and force
fully the necessity for serious
thinking that / feel it deserves
prominent space. The quota

"When we are drafting men
and youths into the armed

not let other men and women

tunity for personal profit.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, June 4.-Rationine
of liquor to customers in MARYLAND
Is not expected by distributors, al
though one State official warned
that supplies of whisky and other
liquors are getting lower.
Executive Secretary I. William
Schimmel of the Maryland Insti-
tute of Wine and Spirit Distributors
said informal rationing by distillers
and wholesalers to Maryland retail
ers had been in effect for six months
and the plan was working well.
Most retailers" he said, had re-

started to ration them" The re-
serves are running low, however, Mr.

BY JAMES BIRCHFIELD,


MANASSAS, Va, June 4.-Farm-
ers in this area apparently are
avoiding OPA ceiling price regula-
tions by selling their chickens by
the head at weekly auction sales.
Approximately 900 fryers and hens
were sold at the regular weekly
auction sale here at prices ranging
as high as $l30 for a fryer and
$205 for heavy hen.
Prices received for hens averaged
approximately s190 per head, which
was about 80 cents per head more
than the hen would bring at the
26s4 cents OPA ceiling price posted
at the auction house.
Fryers, which sold at sl.3O per
head, brought growers an average
of % cents over prices based on a
1914 cents ceiling.
Sales Commission.
? In all sales. however, farmers
were charged 10 per cent sales COM
mission which, in the case Of old
hens, brought their gains to only
II cents above the ceiling price and
70 cents above the top for fryers. :,
All poultry was sold by the head
and no weights were listed. One
buyer, however, explained that deal
ers were rarely ever wrong in their
estimation of weight, and prices of
poultry would run consistently a
little higher than if bought at
regular ceiling prices.
Ralph Eagel. president of the
auction company, said sales of poul-
try. which had been extremely small
during the past month, were begin
ming to pick up again now that the
chicken season is here. He said the
number of chickens sold was about
the average number during the
chicken season.

Farmers Avoiding OPA Ceilings
In Manassas Chicken Auctions
Heavy Hen Brings $205 by the Head;
Fryers Range Above $l.30 in Sales

One chicken raiser, however, said
that chicken producers had stopped
bringing their birds to the auction
sales when ceiling prices went into
effect. He said now that fowls are
being sold by the head instead of by
the pound, farmers again are bring
ing them to the auction.
Called Breeding Stock.
Another dealer who purchases
chickens and sells them to Washing
ton merchants, said he carried with
him papers to show that chickens
being handled by him could be used
as breeding stock, and therefore
were not subject to price regulations.
He said he bought very few chickens
from auctions, because it was easier
to buy them directly from the
farmer.
A Prince William County farmer,
who had brought 40 fryers to the
sale, said he expected to get 81 40
head, and that if he could not get
this price he would bid them in
himself.
This man said OPA ceiling prices
were pinching the farmer. He said
poultry feed has advanced in price
almost so per cent and even receiving
$1.40 for chickens would only enable
him to "get out" without loss.
Another grower said he would like
to see an OPA regulation that was
understandable. He said it looked
like the farmer was on the small end
of all price regulations.
Mr.. Eagel explained that prices of
cattle, hogs and calves were run
ming a little under prices at Balti-
more. He said many Washington
packers formerly bought their calves
at Manassas rather than to bring
them from the Baltimore market.
He said, however, that OPA regula-
tions almost had stopped these
packers from attending sales.

SD. {. Centers
For Child Care
To0pen Soon
Schools to Operate
10 Hours Daily for
Working Mothers

The first five of the Districts
nursery schools and school-age CEN
ters financed under the Lanham act,
will open after the public schools
close on June %, Miss Dorothy
Pearse. District day care director
announced today.
Notices already have been sent to
working mothers, who have been
called into the Day Care Office by the
hundreds pleading for safe and
supervised place to leave their chill
dren while they work, Miss Pearse
said. Interviews with mothers who
live in the vicinity of the new CEN
ters will begin Tuesday at the Day
Care Office, 480 Indiana avenue NV.
Mothers will be queried on the
amount they can afford to pay for
the care of their children in the
public nursery schools or school,
age centers which will operate 10
hours each week day and IL when
necessary.
How much parents are now paying
for child care arrangements such as
maids, foster-mothers, or neighbors,
as we'll as the income of parents,
will be recorded by counselors at
the Day Car Office. This informa-
tion will be sent to the Board of
Public Welfare, which is the fund
receiving agency for the entire Dis
trict child care program. The board
will decide how much each parent
must pay for the services to Children.
Maximum fee in the Lanham-
financed schools will be approx
imately $32 to $34 month, with no
reduction because of the number of
children attending the centers. Low
est fee paid by parents with low in
comes will be about three or four
dollars each month.
Fees for child care are figured on
a sliding scale based on parents
ability to pay. Working mothers in
the upper income bracket must pay
the maximum to balance lower fees
paid by lower salaried workers.
Schools in less prosperous sections of
Washington must be subsidized par
TALLY by the higher intake from the
Wealthier areas.
One nursery school will open at the
Truesdell School, Ninth and Ingra-
ham streets NV, for 80 white chill
dren. Two for colored children will
be at the Harrison School, Thir-
teenth and v NV. and at Smothers
School, Forty-fourth and Washing
ton place NE.
Centers for 50 school-age white
children will start shortly at the
H. D Cooke School, Seventeenth
and Euclid streets NV. and for COL
ored children at Smothers School,
which Is the only school to contain
both nursery and school age center.
Mothers can make appointments
for interviews at the Day Care Of
fice by calling National 5000, extern

mothers who live in the vicinity of
