brought to him in bag, with the
stipulation that the $4,000 be placed

told neWSpapermen.
One thing that struck him forcibly

Suburban Maryland
Residents Warned
To Conserve Water
Sanitary Commission Says
Strict Regulation Will
Be the Alternative

Unless residents of the Maryland
suburban area cooperate voluntarily
in conserving water during the sum-
mer months, strict regulations gov
erning its use will be adopted and
rigidly enforced. the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission
warned today.
Pointing out that cool weather
and heavy rainfall has made it I'M
necessary to issue warning on the
use of water until now, the commits
sion said increased consumption due
to wartime expansion has placed
such a heavy demand on water facil-
tiles that the ''strictest" conserva-
ton will be necessary during dry
months to insure an adequate supply
for all residents.
The commission said residents
must refrain from using water dur
ing the summer for sprinkling lawns.
shrubbery, flowers or gardens and
for flushing pavements. Water will
be allowed, it was said, only for
family or business use within build
ings.
There is a sufficient amount of
water in the new Patuxent River
reservoir, the commission said, but
the capacity of the filtration plant
and of certain main feeders in the
distribution system will have to be
increased before summer demands
for water can be met.
The commission said new pump
Ing station, another filter plant and
an additional pipe line into Prince
Georges County should have been
ready for service this summer, but
were held up because of the scarcity
of critical materials.
Until this expansion is completed,
the commission said, it will be neces-
sary for residents to practice rigid
water economy.

Leon Henderson, former OPA
chief, will not represent any bust
ness firm before Federal agencies
or try to capitalize on the positions
I held with the Government" he
told press conference yesterday on
the eve of assuming his new duties
as chairman of the Board of Editors
Of the Research Institute of America.
Declaring he had declined a $780,
600 business offer, Mr.. Henderson
said he would devote part of his
time to lecturing, radio work and
writing. He will not be a stock mar
ket tipster, he affirmed, adding he
had had offers from that direc-
ton, too"
Mr.. Henderson said he is on
diet, with smoking and alcohol def
nltely out. His eye trouble is being
healed, he said, although he is nurs-
ing his optics by doing as little
reading as possible. At his peak
he smoked 18 to 20 cigars a day.
Still Wearing Brace.
1T is fun to be a private citizen
again. he remarked. My general
physical condition is so good that

coasts. I am still wearing a brace
for back trouble, but otherwise feel
great. I have lost about 10 pounds
in weight and am down to a mere

added, for ANY one to don sackcloth

Alexandria Issues Call
For Air-Ruid Wurdens

Because so many of Alexandria S
air raid wardens have joined the
armed forces, Chief Air Raid War
den Bernard ]. Padgett has issued
a call for additional wardens.
Although the city has over $500
wardens, proportionately more than
other cities of its size, the fact that
so many work in Washington makes
it necessary to have almost twice the
number actually needed.
Mr.. Padgett said that he is anx-
ious to get volunteers over draft
age who work in Alexandria, and
that more women are also needed.
Anyone interested should call Alex

Auctions Of Tobacco
Open in Warehouses
Of Prince Georges
Sing-Song Chant Heard
At Marlboro, With l943
Crop Prices Higher

The familiar sing song chant of
the tobacco auctioneer marked the
opening today of the three Prince
Georges County tobacco warehouses
in Upper Marlboro.
Farmers were receiving 50-cent
top and l212-cent bottom prices for
their 1912 crops. The top price was
paid by Giske- Nieuman Tobacco Co.
Frank M. Hall, president of the
Marlboro Tobacco Market, oldest of
the three warehouses, said middle
grade tobacco was selling at an av-
erage of cents a pound higher
than last year. The two other to-
bacco warehouses at Upper Marl-
boro are Edelen Bros. and the
Planters Tobacco Warehouse.
1943 Crop Is Smaller.
Other warehouses which opened
today in Southern Maryland include
one in La Plata, one in Waldorf and
two in Hughesville. Last year the
three warehouses in Upper MARI
boro disposed of more than SO per
cent of the 100000 pounds of to-
bacco grown in 1941. The crop this
year dropped to about $4,000 900
pounds because of too much rain
last fall.
Principal buyers today were the
Reynolds Tobacco Co., Liggett &
Myers, American Tobacco Co. and
the Export Tobacco Co.
While the foreign market has been
virtually wiped out because of the
war, Mr.. Hall said there has been
some talk" of selling tobacco to
North Africa. He contrasted this
with foreign purchases during the
World War amounting to IS per cent
of total sales.
Prices Are Higher.
Auctioneers at the three Marlboro
warehouses were selling baskets of
tobacco at an average rate of one
every seconds. Purchasers signi-
fled their bids by winks, Struggling
OF the shoulders and by touching
the auctioneer with their finger.
Farmers explained that despite the
higher prices for their crops, the
total received would be less than last
year because the tobacco was
lighter" They pointed out that
even though 100-pound basket of
tobacco sold for so cents a pound,
the total received would be less than
II the basket contained $50 pounds
selling at As cents pound.
Sales were running simultaneously
at all three warehouses with differ
ent sets Of buyers at each warehouse.
Each Of the warehouses was packed
to capacity. They remain open until
September.
