Districts Easter Celebration
To Be Changed Little by War
5000 Servicemen Due Here on Fur|ough;
Rolling Fetes to Feature Peanuts

The youngsters of Washington
will bear the brunt of wartime
shortages of eggs and candies when
the Capital observes Easter tomor-
row.
For the rest of the civilian popu-
lation, the holiday will be much
the same as in other years, with
its church services and its FASH
ion parade. For many, many men
in the armed services, it will mean
a holiday turlough.
The traditional egg-rolling fetes
staged for children will be held this
year with peanuts and cardboard
eggs instead of the real thing.
Candy eggs and rabbits in Easter
baskets will be less plentiful and
not quite so ornate as in previous
years.
The fashion parade. it appeared,
will be highlighted by ensembles
with semi-military cut, featuring
tailored suits and hats described as
cute"
Many Will Visit Zoo.
Thousands were preparing to visit
the Zoo, parks and beaches. pro-
vided the weather is favorable. and
this morning there were unoff1cial
assurances that it would be.
Florists reported a tremendous
business. Many shops said it would
be in style to wear War stamps
with corsages. Lilies are scarce,
but tulips, gardenias. orchids and
cut flowers are available.
Traffic to and from Washington
is scheduled to be heavy in all di-
rections. Every week end here
brings abnormal traffic, due to near
by troop concentration points, but
the movement of students and
servicemen on Easter furlough over
the holiday is expected to press into
service every available piece of rail-
road and bus equipment.

Of the District population, Easter
Monday was to be just another

Poultry Dealers Say
Ceilings Will Throttle
Districts S Supply
Truckers Refuse to Haul
Fowl Because Of Price
Squeeze, They Claim

Even the small supply of poultry
that has been reaching the city
through legal channels during the
last few weeks has been shut off
by the OPA's new ceiling price
order, it was reported today by
Joseph B. Danzansky, counsel for
the poultry. dealers in the District.
At a meeting called yesterday by
the poultry division of the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association,
dealers were informed that truckers
are refusing to haul fowl into Wash
ington because of the price squeeze"
placed on them by the new OPA
order.
Dealers will keep their doors open
to receive poultry" Mr.. Danzansky
said, but they don't expect to get
any" He recalled that dealers early
last week pledged they would not
participate or compete with black
market operators.
Margin Called Too Small.
Mr.. Danzansky pointed out that
the new order provided an adequate
margin for city dressers and whole
salers of poultry but that the allow
ance given truckers was too small
to permit profitable operations. The
trucker IS allowed, under the OPA
regulation which went into effect
Thursday, to pay no more than 281.
cents a pound for broilers, fryers,
roasters and light capons He is
then given an additional one and
fourth cents to haul the poultry
from Delaware. The wholesalers
margin is seven cents.
Mr.. DanZansky said that normal
shrinkage of fowl in hauling runs
around two cents pound and that
usually the trucker gets another
cent as profit. Under the OPA
ceilings, the trucksr would have to
take loss for bringing the chickens
in, it was said
1t was pointed out also that the
few places in the city which. spe-
cialized in drawn poultry and had
few birds for sale in recent weeks
probably would close shop because
their margin also has been cut.
Viewed as Aimed at Farmer.
The ceiling on the price which the
trucker is allowed to pay the farmer
is, in effect, an attempt to place a
ceiling on farm products by the
OPA, it was pointed out. 1t was
claimed also that the OPA has no
right to impose such ceilings
directly without the approval of
the Department of Agriculture,
which has not yet acceded to de-
mands of OPA officials and poultry
dealers for such ceiling.
Poultrymen believe that the OPA
hopes. by giving the trucker small
margin, to force downward the price
level of live poultry at the farm.
Dealers were skeptical, however,
that this would be the result.
Farmers are continuing to demand
at least 28la cents pound for the
popular kinds of fowl. Black market
prices, it was pointed out, run even
higher. Last fall, farmers were get
ting % cents a pound and year
ago the price was 10 cents.
Mr.. Danzansky said poultrymen
from all over the country were to
attend meeting here at 10 m.
next Tuesday to prepare testimony
for presentation to the Senate
Small Business Committee at some
tjpoo 1ofor ", tho uoaL

lie health subcommittee of the

ease situation in the District, the
dispute in the District tuberculosis
Association, and the prevalence of
rats in some Government buildings.
Il have reports there are about
10000 cases of venereal disease in
Washington, the chairman told
The Star today, in an interview
from Baltimore where he is at home
during the Easter recess of Congress.
According to my information only
about 5000 of these cases are under
treatment" he said.
THE committee will call num-
Der of officials who are supposed to
know what the actual situation is,
and we will bring the facts out
into the light. The public has a
right to know these facts"
Experts to Be Heard.
The subcommittee will take up
this question at its first meeting
after the Easter recess. the chair
man said. He has not set specific
date for the hearing.
Officials from several Government
agencies will be called during the
investigation. Representative DIAL
esandro said. Among them prob
ably will be experts from the United
States Public Health Service, the
Office of Defense Health and We'll
fare services, the Commissioners and
DR. George C. Rutland, District
Health Officer.
On District tuberculosis Associa-
ton controversy, Mr.. D'Alesandro
said he intended. calling as wit
nesses all persons to the dispute
These include DR.. j. Winthrop Pea
body, chairman of the board of the
association; Harald H. Lund. re-
signed executive secretary; officials
of the Public Welfare Department
of the District, officials of Glenn
Dale Sanatorium and others.
Mr.. Lund, in a letter to Mr.
D'Alesandro today said he would
be in favor of thorough open
investigation Of the tuberculosis
services" in the District
There have been too many closed
inquiries in the District on the sub
iect of tuberculosis" he said, land
too little opportunity for the public
to learn the facts. I am sure that
number of association board men,
bers and many of its $4,000 con-
tributors will also welcome a thor
ough inquiry. I shall be very happy
to cooperate with you in every
way"

berculosis organization row are eX-
pected to come to light Tuesday
night at its annual meeting at the

The stencil from dead rats at the
office of the hospital permit buseau
In the 400 block of Indiana avenue,
the chairman thinks, is serious
reflection on the city He has been
informed also, Mr.. D'Alesandro said,
that the old Post Office Department
building, Twelfth street and Penn
sylvania avenue NV, with its clock
tower, is badly infested with rats.
Rats are typhus carriers yet health
department officials have claimed
there is no danger of typhus cpl
demic, he said. The commissioners
will be called on by the committee
to do something about the danger,
Mr.. D'Alesandro said.

Budget BureauR Reject
New District Appeal
For Health Funds
Commissioners Silent
Pending Receipt Of
Formal Notification

The Commissioners request for
about 100000 to bolster health serv-
ices in the District out of the So
called Emergency Health and Sani-
tation Funds in the hands of the
United States Public Health Service
has been rejected by the Budget
Bureau, it was learned today.
Formal notification has not yet
reached the Commissioners, but it is
known that they will have to turn
elsewhere for the money they feel is
necessary to protect the health of
the Capital.
Efforts to get funds from the Lam
ham Act were rejected some time
ago. when it was pointed out that
such funds could only be used for
construction and rentals. Now, it
has been ruled by the Federal au-
thorities that the District cannot get
help from the Emergency Health
and Sanitation Funds, either.
The Commissioners may have to
rely on asking Congress either for a
deficiency or supplemental appro-
priation, it was indicated today.
Decision on what procedure to take
will await arrival of the formal
notification from the Bureau of the
Budget, which had not come early
today. Pending such an official
notice, the Commissioners withheld
any comment whatever on the situ-
alton.
The money they wanted was to
have been used for various services
in the District, including three
health centers, at Deanwood, Ana
costa and in the northeast sec
ton; public health nursing, house.
keeping aides in INDECENT homes
general sanitation, maternal child
welfare and mental hygiene.

License Action for All
F|agrant vio|ators Of
Sanitary s0rdered
Commissioners Require
Vigorous Enforcement;
Restuuruteur Is Fined

The Commissioners yesterday
formally ordered that "all licensees
who are fragrant or persistent vio-
lators Of sanitary regulations be
cited to appear before the License
Revocation Board to show cause
why their licenses to conduct their
business should not be suspended or
revoked"
The wording Of the order was
interpreted as extending the scope
of the drive against unsanitary eat
ing places to include all handlers
OF food, such as grocery stores, deli
catessens and wholesalers. Nine
restaurant cases have been referred
to the board, with the first case,
scheduled for hearing yesterday,
postponed until next week.
Under the new policy of the Dis
trict government, fragrant and per-
sistent cases" will be referred to the
License Revocation Board for hear
1ngs, with the findings of the board
subject to later action by the Com
n1issioners. The plan thus shortcuts
legal action In these cases. Court
prosecution for health violations will
be 4 separate matter.
In a directive to DR.. George C.
Ruhland, health officer, Commits
sioner Mason ordered the District
health oficer to arrange with the
corporation counsel to have a mem
ber OF his staff instruct on which to
base notices of violations and to
sustain complaints either to the
License Board or to the courts"
The Commissioners direct that
AL sanitary laws be vigorously en-
forced" Mr.. Mason declared.
Meanwhile, Joseph Burko, oper-
ator Of a restaurant at 4o6 Fifth
