Hundreds Of Motorists
Rush to Beot DeodIine

Automobile tag sale centers In
nearby Virginia were swamped today
by hundreds of motorists rushing to
beat the deadiine for purchase Of
the l943 tabs.
Omcials of the State Division of
Motor Vehicles have announced there
can be no extension Of the deadline
for the display of new tags and
added that State police will begin a
check tomorrow Of all cars on the
highways. The old tags expire at

In Alexandria. the first tag phr-
chaser arrived at the headquarters
on Cameron street at am. and by
8 am, when the sales center opened
the line of waiting motorists extend
ed two blocks. >.-4...'
Motorists who had not received
applications for the purchase of new
tags from the Richmond ONCE were
allowed to purchase blank forms for
10 cents from State troopers at the
Alexandra office yesterday. The
practice was discontinued today,
however, because of the increase in
the number Of persons purchasing
tags. -.
More than $50 tag purchasers were
reported at the sales headquarters
in Clarendon early today and 1t was
expected that lines. would grow
throughout the day. In Fairfax
more than 50 motorists were In line
when the tag headquarters opened.
The ot1ce will remain open until 7
O'Clock tonight.

Quiz of McNutt on Father Draft
|ndicotedW dWhenHe Seeks Funds
Request for Larger Dependency Payments
May Touch Off Bottle With Opponents

In some cases, classification in
Sd will mean little more than a
stay of induction. For instance, a
draft board might put prospective
father in Sd until his wife is over
AN illness or might put son in Sd
until he has been able to make other
arrangements for the support of an
invalid mother.
Some draft boards have asserted
definitely they would resign rather
than take fathers unless they felt
the dependents would be sufficiently
provided for under the allowances
paid by the Government and the al
lotments made by the soldiers.
Under the present system, the
Governments contribution to a wife
is $28, and the soldiers is $22, max
ing a total to wife only OF $50 a
month. A wife with one child gets
$62 month. with $40 more for each
additional child. Where there lis 4
child but no wife, the total monthly
allowance is $42. which also Is In
creased by $40 per additional child.
A single parent, such as q depend
ent mother. gets $37 a month with
IS added for each additional COL
lateral dependent in the family. The
monthly allowance could 10 as high
as $1f2, for instance. for awife, four
children and one parent.

District Distributors
To Seek Relief From
Milk Price Squeeze
Wakefield Doiry Plons
To File Petition;
Retoil Hike Imminent

Counsel for the Wakefield Dairy
announced today that he was filing
petition with the Once of Eco
nomic Sterilization and the Agricul-
ture Department asking for suspen-
sion of the Ascent per 100 pounds
price increase which local distribu-
tors are paying dairy farmers pend
ing a settlement of the proposed in
crease for retail milk here.
Disclosure of the pending action
came from Attorney John F.. Hill
yard as the Office of Price Admins
tration promised that the retail price
hike was imminent.
Distributors, meanwhile, served
notice that they may have to shut
down unless some action is forth
coming to relieve them of squeeze
resulting from paying farmers higher
prices. Retail milk prices, until the
new OPA order. remain frozen at
about Is cents quart for home de-
livery.
While OPA gave no indications of
the amount Of increase, it is believed
it will amount to about cent a
quart. This is approximately the
increase distributors here now are
paying dairy farmers.
The of1icial. of one dairy said his
concern was paying out an addi-
tional $3.50 day to producers. I'VE
can't continue to operate on that
basis, undess OPA gives us relief" he
said. A distributor profit on quart
of milk. he said. amounts to only
one-eighth of a cent.
He pointed out that should any
dairy refuse to pay the farmer the
increase the Agriculture Depart
ment could force it to close down.
However, if every distributor in
the city refused to pay the additional
price simultaneously, the depart
ment would be in a position OF shut
ting off the city's milk supply" this
official warned.

She said that she felt rationed

ment than q cash reward. ~
what good is money nowadays?"
she asked.
It was pointed out that neither
ration coupons nor rationed goods
may be given away as gifts under
OPA regulations. Mrs. Aspell ex-.
planned that she had lived in Eng
land as late as 1910, when food was
already rationed there, and that she
and her neighbors frequently traded
rationed items they did not like for.
those they preferred. This was:
against British rationing regulations. !.
she said, but nobody took it too
seriously because the transactions
did not increase the amount Of foods
rationed. II

Housewives Here Face
Lean Potato Supply
For Next Six Weeks
Stocks Will Be Light
Through May Because
Of Government Needs

District housewives today had
small hope that they would get an
adequate supply of potatoes for
their families during the next six
weeks after the Food Administration
yesterday took control of the re-
naming supplies OF Maine potatoes.
The Government agency said the
potato situation would continue to
be tight" through May because
Government requirements have to
be met and farmers had to be pro-
vided with seed for their new crop.
Under the new order, every ship
per must obtain a permit from the
Presque Island Meo ONCE of the
Food Administration. Before sucn
a permit will be issued. theeshipper
must agree to sell to Federal pro-
curement of1cials as many potatoes
As may be required. Remaining
stocks will be released for civilian
consumption.
Shipperx Must Get Permits.
Shippers also must obtain permits
to ship seed potatoes.
!, It was estinat ted that between
5000 and 1000 carloads one
third of the Nations supply of old
crop potatoes-remain to be shipped
out Of Maine. Other old crop sup
plies come from the North Central
States, Colorado, Idaho and Oregon.
A carload of Idaho potatoes ar
rived at the Water street yards.
Twelfth street above Maine avenue
S.W.. this morning and were dis
tributed to an assemblage of eager
dealers. A spokesman for the Idaho
potato growers said this probably
was the last shipment that would ar
rive from Idaho until September un-
less Government regulations cover
ing food supplies an Transportation
are relaxed. Shippers, he said, are
finding it too burdensome to send
potatoes over long distances in the
face Of governmental restrictive
measures.
Dealers said that even in normal
years the potato supply in. April and
May Is delicately balanced because
this season is transitional period
between old and new crops. The
present shortage occurred, they said,
chiefly because of the requirements
of the Government.
Potatoes Here Disappearing.
The few potatoes in the District
rapidly were disappearing, with no
new shipments In sight. Normally.
80 carloads a week are shipped into
this area. Last week a contractor
supplying District government hos
pitfalls managed to procure five car
loads, but two of these promptly
were taken over by the armed
services. ..
The only ray of hope in the situa-
ton was the report that the crop of
early potatoes. which are beginning
to appear on the market from South
ern States, will be somewhat larger
than normal this year. Potatoes are
now moving in from Florida and
Texas in small quantities, with other
supplies expected later from Cali
fornia. Alabama and other parts of
the South.
