arm Gas Problem
Stressed by Witness
Senate. Group Hears
Crops Are Menuced
Special Dispatch to The Star.


D. c. Aist, College Park. Md, told
a Senate subcommittee investigat-
ing the gasoline situation on the
East Coast yesterday that recent
petroleum Administration directive
giving farmers priority next to the
armed forces was wellmeant, but
that district officials differed in
their interpretat ton of it.
Mr Aist who is special assistant
TO the Maryland Agricultural War
Board, said that farmers in the New
YORK and Washington areas were
told they could get gasoline only
from their own suppliers.
Robert E. Allen of the Petroleum
Administration said that interpreta-
ton was correct, but added that
farmers could apply to the PETROL
cum Administration for a SPECIAL
order emitting them to gasoline from
other available sources for agricul-
tural purposes.
Remarking that attempts to solve
the problem were we'll intentioned
but didn't always work, Mr.. Aist
added that the chief question still
appeared to be how to get sufficient
gasoline into the agricultural Areas
for farm use. >
The investigating committee was
told by farm group leaders that
hundreds of farm machines are
stalled for lack of gasoline in the
East.
Representatives of farm cooper
atlves declared that crops on many
farms from Maryland to Maine are
jeopardized by lack of fuel for trac-
tors, trucks and gas engines,

Maryland Maps Plans
To Release Doctors,
Care for Civilians
700 Of States Physicians
Are in Armed Forces,
IS More May Go
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, June 5.-Dr. Charles
w. Maxson has announced a Mary
land medical program designed to
continue adequate medical care for
the civilian population of the Free
State and still permit the release
OF additional physicians for the
armed forces.
DR.. Maxson, State director of pro-
curement and assignment for the
handling of doctors inductions into
the armed forces, said he hoped
Maryland would be able to furnish
Is or more physicians for that pur-
pose this year.
He added that 7C0 Maryland doc
tors had gone into the services be-
fore June |.
The program included a survey of
all OF the 1900 to 1,4OO doctors in
the State, what each is doing and
what each is capable of doing.
Where it was found that a given
community needed a physician, or
several physicians, the men needed
were found. The Dundalk section
was one such case DR.. Maxson said.
Attention is being given to the
need for dental care, and dentists
have been found to go to places
where they were needed.
Surveys now are being made of
certain localities to determine
whether additional physicians are
needed there. In no case is a
physician or dentist sent to a COM
munity without the cooperation
and consent of the community.
1T is obvious that, if 800 phvsi-
clans, the young and physically fit,
are subtracted from approximately
2,lOO in active practice in Maryland
changes in the habits of both pa
tents and physicians must be made
1T will be necessary in the future
for the sick to be more considerate
OF their physicians than they. have
been in the past. Patients
should not expect physicians to
make repeated calls when the illness
is OF a minor nature. They should
not call physicians out In the mid
die of the night unless it is abso-
lutely necessary.
Physicians must inevitably broad
en- their practice to some extent
That will be particularly true OF

The gardens are green around ST
Pauls College in the northeast sec
tion-145 of them. Trick trellises
for the training Of peas and tomato
plants make geometric patterns on
the slopes.
Gardeners gathered there almost
as usual last night despite the heat
They asked plenty of questions about
the $1,000 Victory Garden contest
when they realized that an inspec-
ton party which went from garden
to garden was an official one. How
was one to enter the contest? Who
would judge the gardens? What
were the. standards? What were
the prizes?
1t was explained that any note
to the District Victory Garden Com
mittee mailed before June 13 will
be considered an entry or the
coupons published in The Star may
be used; that the prizes were all in
War bonds and stamps; that the
best two gardens at ST. Paul's, which
is at Seventh and Hamlin streets
NE, including back yard gardens
in the immediate neighporhood
would be awarded $40 and SIS prizes
in stamps donated by the R-K-O
Keith Theater and might win a s25
bond for the best garden in north
east, one of the prizes donated for
each section of the city and nearby
areas by The Evening Star.
S100 for Best Garden.
There will be a s10O War bond for
the best garden in Washington and
the adjoining counties.
The gardens will be judged by a
panel of horticultural experts. some
of them from the Agriculture De-
partment. The standards are ap-
pearance, variety, cultural practices
and pest control
S.. Paul's College is one of the
Catholic University group. The Rev.
Aloysius Burggraf, president of the
college, read about the need of land
for Victory gardens in The Star
in March and filled in the coupon
run with the articles. He offered
the use of the II acres of land
around the college, including the
baseball and football fields.
Mrs Madeline Mortimer, neigh
Dor, of 1927 Seventh street NE
agreed to act as garden leader. For
period she was busy trying tc
answer the telephone and the front
door at the same time as people be-
sieged her for garden plots. Mrs
Mortimer is native of France She
has one of the gardens but she was
so busy assigning plots in the early
days of the project that her neigh
bors are ahead of her.
Piasterer Arrives First.
Virgil Hirshberger. a plasterer, OF
1912 Eighth street NE. was the first
to arrive at the gardens after supper
last evening. AS his wife and child
pulled weeds he fell to with the hoe
E. j. Finan, professor of mathe-
matics at Catholic University, was
another early arrival. He was little
worried about his peas. 1t was too
hot for them. DR.. Finan was brought
up on farm near GAINESVILLE, Ohio.
Mrs. Mary E. Williams, 3l5 Frank
lin street NE, called out How S

woman?' Mrs. Williams is from
Tennessee and fond of cooked
greens. I'm just cookin cookin'

said.

Corn Is Waist High.
Father, 1 want this garden for

workers who had overheard him.
Most of the gardeners are from the
neighborhood, Mrs. Mortimer eX-
planned, and quite a neighborhood
spirit and acquaintance has devel-
oped with the initial garden meet
ings and neighbors working together
every night.
Michael Kelly's corn is the syno-
sure of neighboring eyes. 1t is waist
high. Mr.. Kelly, a wary native OF
Galway, arrived every evening dur
ing the April drought with a 55-gal-
Ion drum Of water in the back of his

Bible in Cell
CIotterbuck Tells
Fellow Prisoners
OF His 5 Murders

Thomas William Clatterbuck, 33-
year-old confessed slayer who faces
grand jury action June IA, Is Willing
away his time in Winchester jail
by reading the Bible and answering
questions of his fellow prisoners on
details of the murder of five people
on the farm of A. Morris Love near
Purcellville, Va.
Winchester Jailer Robert De Haven
reported today that the prisoner
father of four children, is gradually
breaking under the strain. He cries
frequently, eats little and moves
restlessly about his cell through the
night, the jailer said.
Mr.. De Haven said Clatterbuck
had been visited by some of his rela-
tives yesterday afternoon and had
asked to see his wife, unaware that
she has been i'll since word of his
confession reached her. She is ex-
pecting her fifth child in two
months.
Breaks at Sight of Kin.
When Clatterbuck saw his brothers,
the jailer reported, he broke down
and was unable to talk for a few
minutes. He had told police officials
soon after his confession that he
couldn't face" his relatives.
The jailer described him as a
model prisoner" who answers the
questions OF the other prisoners in
the cell block apparently without
hesitation.
Meanwhile, it was announced in
Leesburg that a grand jury of
farmers will consider the States re-
quest for first-degree murder in
dictment. The grand jury was Sc
lected by Court Clerk E. o. Russell
yesterday from a list made up by
the judge once year.
The grand jurors, described as
prominent men in Loudoun County
are all from the districts surround
ing Leesburg. They are farmers of
much the same status in the COM
munity as Mr.. Love. first victim of
the slayer's hand The other VIC
Tins were Mrs. Ruth Love, the farm
er's wife; James Love. his son: and
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Russell, the
tenant farmer and his wife on the
Love farm.
Quick Arrangement Planned.
If a true bill is brought against
Clatterbuck week from Monday,
as the State confidently expects, the
confessed slayer will be arraigned
the same day by the clerk In Vir-
ginia, Clatterbuck can plead guilty
to the capital charge. He can later
change the plea. however, if he
wants jury trial.
According to his jailer, Clatter-
buck has not yet employed a defense
counsel and one may be assigned to
him by Circuit Court Judge J. R. H.
Alexander
There was some speculation that
the trial will not be held in Loudoun
County because of the difficulty in
finding II unprejudiced jurymen.
If the trial is held in Loudoun
County it will probably be during
the June term of court, which runs
for so days.
Unless arraignment is delayed for
Clatterbuck to consult with counsel
the judge will set the trial date
June IA.
