Glenn Dale Given Only 8 Gents
More q Day to Feed Patient
Superintendent's Request for $4,000
Extra Is HoIved in Budget Slash

Despite rising food costs, the Dis
trict tuberculosis Sanatorium at
Glenn Dale, Md, has been allowed
an increase of less than 3 cents a
meal to feed its $50 patients in the
fiscal year beginning July l.
An examination of the 1914 budg-
ct. now before Congress, reveals that
DR.. Daniel L. Finucane, superintend-
ent of the institution, asked for an
additional $4,000 to meet the ex-
pected higher food bill, but that his
request was slashed in half. In
other words, he will have approx
mately 8 cents day more than he
has now to feed each patient.
All DR.. Finucane would say about
the situation which confronts him
was:
I'VE will carry on the best we can
in the face of existing hardships."
The average ration cost at the
sanatorium in the 1912 fiscal year
was 49.41 cents day a patient, but
even then, DR.. Finucane admits, the
meals were inadequate and the COM
plalnbS numerous.
Cheap Meats Provided.
Many of the complaints" he told
the Commissioners in asking for an
increase in his 1914 food budget,
"arose from the fact that we were
trying to keep the cost as low as
possible and in many instances serve
the cheaper cuts of meats; as for
example, picked bellies instead of
bacon, pork shoulders instead of
hams, which items naturally are not
so delectable as the more expensive
cuts. Because of the various crit
icisms that have arisen we have en-
deavored to supply the patients with
the best possible meals.
within reasonable limits, our
ration cost of the first 20 days of
July, 1872, was .5764 cents. That
was our actual cash expenditure.
However, during this time we took
full advantage of and secured all of
the supplies that we could from
surplus commodities. If the money
saved on these supplies were not
included, our ration cost for the
first 20 days would have been 1925"
DR.. Finucane advised the Com
missioners in asking for $4,000
increase in his food budget for 1914
that in view of wartime conditions,
it was impossible for him to esti-
mate what the cost of foodstuffs
would be in the new fiscal year.
Increase Forecast.
However" he said, I'VE antici-
pate % per cent cost over current
ration costs, and that gives us a
cost of II cents as an average for
the fiscal year 1914"
At II cents ration-three meals
a day a patient-Dr. Finucane
figured his food bill would jump
1889 in the coming fiscal year.

Assessment Bureaus
Urged in Maryland
By the Associated Press.


ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 20.-Chairman
William L. Henderson of the State
Tax Commission said at a Senate
Finance Committee meeting that he
favored passage Of bill to provide
bureaus Of assessment in the States
% counties.
Mr.. Henderson said that hereto
fore county assessors had often been
appointed on patronage basis. The
result, he said, was that there was
frequently marked decline of as
sessments in the assessors home
districts.
The measure would require assess
ors, before appointment by the Tax
Commission and the supervisor, to
qualify through a State examina-
ton.
Each Of the assessors would be
paid a fiat yearly salary ranging
from a minimum of 81 500 to a max
imum of $4,000. The latter figure
could be raised If considered neces-
sary by the commission.

Ice Cream Firms Face
65 PET. Cut in Use OF Milk
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
In the year beginning February
/, ice cream producers must limit
their consumption of milk and milk
products to 65 per cent of the guam
titles they used in a previous year.
Secretary Of Agriculture Wickard
issued that order yesterday, setting
the previous year base period as
December l. 1941, to November 80,
1912. The Wickard order replaces
a temporary regulation issued last
month by the War Production
Board, limiting the ice cream
makers use of milk in January to
half the amount they consumed In
October 1912.
Under the new regulation, manu-
factuers will regulate their own
output of ice cream for civilians, so
long as the total consumption for
a year does not exceed SIS per cent
Of that used in the base period,
Thus, a producer might use rs per
cent for one six-month period and
SIS per cent for the other If he chose.
Evening star., 1943-01-20

But the dget-making experts
figured $4,000 additional would be
sufficient.
Meals at the sanitarium are not
bad now, according to DR.. Finucane,
but he declines to predict what they
will be in the future in view of the
war, food rationing, and only $40 900
more to absorb higher prices.
An example of what patients eat
now, DR.. Finucane cited as a typical
example, the menu of yesterday
1t follows:
Breakfast.
Orange (whole).
Yellow corn grits.
Bacon.
Toast, butter, coffee and milk.
Luncheon.
Spanish omelet.
Buttered potatoes.
Apple and celery salad on lettuce.
Bread, butter and milk.
Sliced pineapple.
Dinner.
Roast pork shoulder with gravy.
Mashed potatoes.
Shredded lettuce with dressing.
Bread, butter, milk and tea.
Chocolate pudding.
The tuberculosis sanitarium hos
pitalizes both white and colored
patients, INDECENT, as well as those
who are able to pay part of the
cost. DR.. Finucane wanted a credit
officer to help him collect some of
the delinquent bills from those who
promised to pay, but the budget
failed to provide such help, even
though he estimated the officer
might double the hospitals COL
lections, which average from 1000
to 81 500 a month.
Provides Assistant Superintendent.
The budget also overlooked items
for 10 other employees he had re-
quested, including six ward attend
ants he needs to aid overWorked
nurses. The only new position pro-
vided in the budget is for an assist
ant superintendent to aid DR..
Finucane in handling administrative
details so he can spend some time
talking to patients.
The assistant superintendent would
have the rating of a senior medical
officer and be paid SIS, 500 a year. In
approving this new position, the
Budget Bureau obviously was i'm
pressed by the argument of the Com
missioners as to its necessity.
The Commissioners said the
patients feel that unless they have
an opportunity to talk with the
superintendent "at fairly regular
intervals" they are being neglect
ed" and their welfare is disregarded
DR.. Finucane, because of his many
administrative duties, does not now
have the time to go around to the
bedsides.

LETTERS Gives Jones
Job Of Providing U. 5.
With Natural Rubber
includes Contracting
For Cultivation of
Product Abroad
BY BLAIR BOLLES.

William Jeffers. rubber admins
traitor, has informed the Board of
Economic Warfare that he has des-
ignated the Commerce Department S
Rubber Reserve Corp, of which
Jesse Jones is chairman, to take
over the task of negotiating con-
tracts abroad for the cultivation of
natural rubber to be used in the
American war effort, it was learned
today.
The BEW has been in control of
the natural rubber program since
last April 13 and under its direction
is Latin American countries and
Liberia have started on rubber
growing programs for the United
States. Brazil, the most important
Of the Latin American rubber grow
ers, is expected to ship between 35, -
600 and 10000 tons of rubber to the
United States this year.
Assumes Wider Authority.
MIR. Jeffers has the authority un-
der the executive order which estab-
llshed his position to take charge of
natural as well as synthetic rubber,
but he invoked it only 10 days ago,
1t was learned. The order empow-
erS him to issue directives on nat
iral rubber programs and he wrote
Milo Perkins, BEW executive direc-
tor. that he intends to issue the di-
receives to Mr.. Jones.
However, Mr.. Jeffers told Mr.. Per-
Sins that he appreciates the fine
imaginative efforts" of the BEW in
its past rubber operations and de-
sires it to make the basic plans for
new natural rubber development
work. Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Jeffers
will hold veto power over these
plans. They did not have this in
the past.
AT the same time, Chairman Wal
lace of the BEW issued an order
that takes control from four Jesse
Jones agencies over non-rubber
phases of the program for purchas-
ing and importing commodities vital
to war production. The agencies are
the Defense Supplies Corp, the
Metals Reserve Co., the United
States Commercial Co. and the De-
fense Plant Corp. The order is ef-
fective February %.
CEimaxed Jurisdictional Row.
Vice President Wallace, whose or
der is published today in the Fed
eral Register, ordered that the
Washington and field employees of
these four agencies who are engaged
In negotiating, preparing, supervis-
Ing and administering contracts for
the purchase and import of the
needed commodities be transferred
from Jesse Jones to the BEW pay
roll.
The Wallace order and the Jeffers
decision climax the jurisdictional
controversy which has been going
on between Mr.. Jones and the BEW.
The order points out that the
BEW was given the authority to ne
gotiate by presidential order dated
last April 13. Mr.. Wallace directed
that the disbursement of funds un-
der the contracts negotiated by BEW
should remain the job of the Jones
agencies.
The request for the transfer of
employees is to be put before the
Civil Service Commission. Until the
transfer is completed, Mr.. Wallace
authorized the BEW to use the
Jones agency employees for its own
work.
