Priority Plan
For Fire Escapes.
Expected Today
'WPB OffieioIs Promise
To Outline Procedure
For Rooming Houses

Onicials Of the War Production
Board have promised that some
time today they will outline to Dis
trtct onlcials the exact priority pro-
cedure to be followed by operators
of boarding, rooming, lodging and
apartment houses in applying for
fra escapes and other safety facili-
ties.
There has been no explanation as
to why there has been q delay Of
more than two days in detailing
the priorities system-which has
been postponing actual provision Of
fire safety facilities on affected
housing units ordered by the Conn
missioners.
it was assumed to be q case Of
the slow grinding Of administrative
machinery. The procedrral details
were to have been delivered first no
later than Thursday noon, and there
were successive postponements, with
the answer still undelivered last
night.
City Heads to Hear Procedure.
The latest information was that
officials Of the construction division
OF the WPB were to consider plans
this morning and that as soon IS
this session was over the procedure
was to be given District officials by
L. A. Anderson, housing priorities
manager for this area.
Approval Of requests for fire ss-
capes. fire extinguishers and other
safety facilities was expected, par
ticularly since the WPB Thursday
morning announced it had modified
prohibitions against use of steel for
non-essential purposes, and had au-
thorized limited manufacture Of
various civilian products using steel,
even including millinery wire and
hat frames
Meanwhile, as one direct result
of the oroer of the Commissioners
for prosecution of rooming house
and similar operators If they con-
tinue business without a District
license, hundreds Of such landlords
are seeking information as to why
their license applications have been
denied. It Is indicated many are
taking steps to bring their places
into compliance with District regu-
lations and law,
Commissioners Firm. ~
The Commissioners are maintain
ing their stand that requirements
must be met or operators will be
prosecuted If they continue to do
business otherwise. Corporation
Counsel Richmond B. Keech has
said time and again he will prose.
cute any and all operators who
operate without a permit, as soon
as the necessary information is sup.
piled to him.
It came to light yesterday, how.
ever, that some inspectors have. de.
cided as a practical matter to delay,
temporarily. formal reports Of nom
compliance, in "a few instances in
which proof was given by landlords
they have placed orders for fire
safety facilities or have applied for
priorities, and otherwise were tn.
dertaking to comply with the law
and the orders of the Commits
sioners.
How long this period Of grace
will be extended for these landlords,
or just how far the Commissioners
will permit inspectors to use their
own discretion, was not indicated
last night.

Virginia Is looking for some one
to do for the apple what George
Washington Carver did for the pea
nuts OF Georgia. A Senate Military
Affairs Subcommittee heard about
1t yesterday from Finley Tynes, Sec
retary Of the Staunton Chamber of
Commerce, who observed:
Surely more can be made from
apples than apple sauce, apple but
ter, cider and applejack.'
Mr.. Tynes, indorsing a bill to set
up an Office of technilogical mobili-
zation, asserted:
Millions of apples rot under the
trees each year, apples that an in
ventive genius could surely intro
duce in some form or product into
the stream of profitable commerce. !"

No Changes Planned
This Year in Virginia
Liquor Rationing
ABC Board Confesses
1t Underestimuted
Demand for Books
BY the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, April 10.-The State
Liquor Board yesterday admitted it
had underestimated the demand for
liquor ration books, but indicated
the present rationing system in all
probability will be continued
throughout the year on the same
basis. -: IT. T.
In formal statement yesterday,
the ABC Board said the "deplorable
condition which resulted" from the
error in estimating the demand for
the ration books, was one which the
board was unprepared to remedy
promptly"
The early estimate Of only 10000
registrants. as compared with an
actual civilian registration of about
100000 explains why inadequate
provisions were made in the begin
ming for registration in Norfolk and
the more congested areas" the
board said.
The boards statement came in re-
sponse to request sent to Gov.
Darden by Delegate Edward l..
Breeden, jr, of Norfolk, in which he
asked that the ABC Board furnish
the people of the State with clear
picture of its present and past pur-
chasing policies and their bearing on
the present shortages Of stocks in
the stores"
25-Cent Fee Defended.
The boards statement, signed by
Chairman r. McC. Burlington,
Hunter Miller and John N. Sebrell,
touched on seven major points re-
lating to politics and past practices.
In brief, the explanation on these
points was:
l. The board has operated under
the policy of subordinating profits to
considerations of social welfare.
2. Conclusion that the 25-cent fee
was equitable and proper" for the
liquor ration books, not as q source
of revenue but as a means of de-
fraying the cost of the rationing.
3. In the event the State should
be unable to obtain supplies to oper-
ate the stores, the board feels it
would take such action as the law
authorizes" to remedy any injustice
If circumstances develop which
would render 1t inequitable for the
State and localities to retain" the
service charge.
4. The board said that ut is GER
tain" that its policies in regard to
purchases have in no way contrib
uted to the present shortage.
Program to Continue.
s. The board, commenting on fu-
ture supplies. said it was felt that
the present rstioning system will in
all probability be maintained
throughout the year on the present
basis.
6. As to the inadequate facilities"
for issuing rationing books, the
board admitted that 1t underesti-
mated the number who would apply,
but only after trying to avoid this
by examining the experience and
methods of other States.
Z. As to securing competent ems
ployes in the stores, the board cited
its difficulty In obtaining sufiicient
employees. especially in the Tide
water areas. s5>a
In the enforcement field, the
board reported that 3,565 cases Of
alleged violation Of liquor laws were
brought in the last year into State
courts by the boards agents, and
more than 1900 illegal stills were
captured and destroyed.
The board stated it had sought
balance OF prices which would best
combat the evils Of intemperance
and kootleRpinQ.

d Women Graduate
From Farm Course
Many From D. c. Among
Maryland U. Troinees

Twenty -four. women, many of
them from Washington, who three
weeks ago began a special course
at the University Of Maryland in
farm training. today were ready to
take their places on farms hit by
the labor shortage.
At ceremonies yesterday marking
completion Of the course, the women
were presented arm bands by Mrs.
M. M. Nowinski, chairman Of Land
Army Committee of the American
Women's Voluntary Services. The
course was organized by DR.. T. B.
Symons, director Of the university
extension service, In cooperation
with the AWVS and the Farm
Security Administration.
Approximately half of the women
who completed the course are farm
owners who were interested in
learning latest farm practices in
order to boost their farm production.
Six Of the women said at the out
set Of the course that they would
accept jobs on farms and three were
placed before the. end Of the study
period. Two are now at work on
the university poultry farm at Col
lege Park and one has been en-
ployed on farm near Towson, Md.
Applications have been received
from farmers for others who COM
pleted the course.
DR.. Symons said he thought a
farm course for women should be
continued at the university for at
least three months. He emphasized
that 1t will be necessary constantly
to recruit women for farm work.
Many Of the women who became
full l-dedged farm workers yesterday
were strangers to farm life before
