D. {. Coal Allotment
Increased; Priorities
System Expanded

An increase in the coal allotment
for the District, which will actually
bring more coal into this area than
was consumed last winter, has been
granted by the Solid Fuels Admin
lstration, 1t was learned today.
At the same time the Office of
Price Administration today issued
an order to give top priorities to
consumers who have little or no
anthracite on hand. A directive
which went into effect September,
provided that dealers must supply
customers with less than quarter of
a bin of anthracite on hand before
making other deliveries. Today's
order carries this preference system
one step further by allowing dealers
to set up priorities within the group
of consumers who have less than a
quarter of a bin.
The order increasing the coal sup
ply to this area provides that IS per
cent more anthracite than was pre-
vlously granted shall be delivered to
this area. The earlier allotment gave
the District 80 per cent of the coal
consumed during the base period
between April, 1912, and March,
l943 This additional ALLEGATION
means that about 3ls per cent more
anthracite may be shipped into the
District this winter than was used
last year.
Will Supply Other Areas First.
How long it will take before these
additional shipments arrive here
coal dealers were not prepared tc
say. They pointed cut that much
depended on the coal available at
the mines. Besides, they explained,
other shortage areas farther north,
especially New England, must be
supplied first.
A similar order affecting bitumin-
Gus coal was expected to be issued
soon. Dealers said soft coal stocks.
especially in the pressed, now-vola-
tile varieties, were running low be-
cause many residential users were
buying this kind of fuel owing to
the shortage of anthracite. Soft

During this war period a retail
sales tax, has several definite ad-
vantages. It will siphon of pur-
chasing power and thus reduce the
demand for goods against the pres
ent shortage. 1t would in no way
interfere with, or complicate, the
efforts of the Price Administration
since it would apply cleanly as in
addition to such final price as Is
authorized"
Mr.. Richmond said a sales tax
should be made effective only until
six months after termination Of the
war, and recommended repeal OF
retail excise taxes on selected items
such as furs, jeWelry, cosmetics
luggage. handbags and wallets.

coal shipments to the Washington
area were expected to increase,
however, after November /, by which
time heavy shipments to Great

Reason for Increase.
The increased allotment to this
area was made to meet the demands
created by additional housing and
by conversions from the use of oil
as a result of last seasons OPA
campaign, it was reported.
Insofar as the new OPA order on
priorities is concerned, local dealers
said they have been following sucn

NEGRO POLICE A FAILURE"

Despite the handicap that the
Negro officers have labored un-
der since their appointment to
the Ninth Street area, resulting
from law violators who kept the
Police Headquarters busy with a
routine of complains because
these officers We're doing their
duty, the lack of cooperation of
socalled Negro civic organization
whose leaders were so interested
in themselves that they found no
time for community welfare and
mainly because high city officials
didn't see the need of peaceful
Negro community TO warrant
Negro officers. These Negro of
ficers are a failure because they
have done in ten months what
the entire police force has never
done--Made the Ninth Street
area a. decent place for decent
people to relax.
To do an honest job today
seems to be a failure in our ma
tional routine Of affairs!
Our Negro police force Is a
complete failure because it was
judged by mistakes rather than
the good it has accomplished.
