D. {. Health Officials
To Weigh Ending Of
Day Milk Routes
Preventive Measures Seen
Advisable to Avoid Illness
Among Children

Whether daytime milk deliveries
should be abandoned to avoid spoil
age will be determined by an in
vestigation by District health au-
thorities, it. was decided yesterday
after a conference between Health
Department officers, dairymen and
representatives of the District
Medical Society and the Office Of
Defense Transportation.
Health Department records fail
to show an abnormal increase in
throat infections and castro -intes-
tinal ills among infants and small
children using milk, but DR.. George
c. Rutland, District health officer,
deemed 1t advisable to take preven-
tative steps.
Principal advocate of the return
to night milk deliveries was Dr..
William De Kleine, chairman of the
medical society's Public Health
Committee. He attributed much
spoilage to milk left at homes
where working mothers were not
present to provide proper refriger-
alton.
Responsibility for the daytime
delivery order was denied by Will
liam M. Tobin Of the local ODT
Office. who said dairy ofncials had
voluntarily inaugurated the present
system 10 months ago when 1t be-
came necessary to conserve tires and
gasoline, Daytime deliveries made 1t
possible for drivers to collect month
ly bills while serving milk, thereby
avoiding return trip.
Mr.. Tobin said his office has a
plan to put into effect within two
weeks to coordinate regional deliy-
cries to the milkshed here, but indi-
Gated that the method of home de-
liveries was for dairies to decide.
Dairy spokesmen denied there had
been many complaints about milk
spoilage under the present system,
and said that any attempt to revert
to nighttime deliveries would Gre
ate a serious manpower problem.
Records Of almost 5000 babies
cared for in local medical clinics
showed no increase in ailments
traceable to spoiled milk, but DR..
Ella Oppenheimer, director Of ma
ternal and infant welfare, pointed
out that canned milk was recon-
mended for most babies.

Sharp Improvement
Noted as Result Of
Cleanliness Drive
Restaurant Association,
Grocery Chains Aiding,
Dr.. RuhIond Says

A sharp improvement in sanitary
conditions In grocery stores and eat
ing places has been noted as a re-
suit Of the drive to clean up such
establishments, the Health Depart
ment reported today.
Health Ofiicer DR.. George C.
Rutland said his ONCE had received
the wholehearted support of the
Washington. Restaurant Association
and other groups in its efforts to
stamp out disease-breeding condi-
tions. Grocery chains and whole
sale dealers also were joining In the
campaign, he said, circulating
pamphlets urging store owners to
clean up their establishments and
instructing them In particular points
to observe.
Says Courts Are Aid.
The current drive does not mark
a new intensification Of the Health
Departments efforts to maintain
sanitary conditions, however, DR..
Rutland said. He declared the de-
partment has waged an unrelenting
battle against uncleanliness but
that the courts. recent action forcing
accused grocers and restaurant own
ers to stand trial on charges had
lent added force to the drive.
Another important factor, he said,
was the discrimination of the Dis
trict governments practice OF issu-
ing licenses to stores over the
Health Departments objections. It
was the practice several years ago,
hei said. for applicants to: make de-
,postfs ~ Mceiisex syeaE ahead aof
time, legally binding the District to
issue operating licelsses whether 0f
not the places were approved by
health ofncers.
3 Grocers Fined.
J Meanwhile, the drive to stamp out
insanitary conditions in groceries
gained momentum in Municipal
Court yesterday when four grocers
were cited lon health violation
charges. In addition, two restau-
rant owners were iined on health
violation charges.
During the last month the en-
phasis in the campaign against
health violators dealing in food has
been on restaurants. This week,
however, seven. grocers have faced
court action on health violation
charges. E
Two grocers yesterday were fined
$25 each by Judge John P. Mcmahon
and two others were permitted to
forfeit $25 collateral when they
failed to appear for trial
