ate Appropriations Committee for
authority to use their school lunch
kitchen equipment to provide a can
ming service for the vegetables grown
IN back yards and on vacant lots.
The plan is to have the Victory
gardener pay for the canning service
by leaving portion of the canned
goods with the District government
for use in institutions. The plan was
approved by the Senate group.
Would the individual owner of a
garden be willing to have the excess
produce go in the way you mention?"
asked Senator Chavez, Democrat, of
New Mexico.
Some of them will can at home, y
Commissioner Mason replied, "but
you must bear in mind that large
part of the population lives in apart

these facilities. On the Glover tract

these gardens operated by people
who live in the Westminster and

For Court Post lndorsed

Harry S. Wender, president of the
Federation of Citizens Associations,
on behalf of the association yester-
day indorsed the three candidates
chosen by the District Bar Associa-
ton for the vacancy on the District
Court of Appeals, created by the
resignation of Fred NJ Vinson to
become economic stabilization di-
rector.
They are Charles Fahy, solicitor
general; Justice Bolitha J. Laws of
District Court and E. Barrett Pret-
lyman. former corporation counsel
of the District.
In a letter to President Roosevelt.
Mr.. Wender wrote that the "ap-
pointment of one of them would
undoubtedly meet with the salts
faction of Washington citizens, who
are concerned not with personalities
or individual candidates, but rather
with the principle of recognizing
within this jurisdiction men who
have proven their ability to serve
as judges without the necessity of
painstakingly familiarizing them
selves with local law and procedure
before proving of value to the court" "
Mr.. Wender wrote that. since the
creation of the court, only 2 of
the II judges appointed to serve
thereon have been conversant with
our local laws, procedure and prac-
tice."
Il need not remind you," he add
ed, that better than tWo-thirds of
all the cases coming before the Dis
trict Court of Appeals are of a local
nature, requiring thorough under
standing Of local laws and procedure
to be intelligently decided"

78 Carloads of Seed Potatoes
On Way to Ease Farm Demand
Dealers to Ignore Victory Gardeners
Cry to Supply Professional Growers

Eighteen carloads OF certified
seed potatoes are on their way
from Canada to meet unprecedent-
ed demands and a consequent short
age in the Maryland-V Virginia mar
ket. it was learned today at the
Agriculture Department.
These potatoes will be sold in
large quantities to farmers rather
than in small amounts to Victory
gardeners. dealers who have ordered
them, said
Each carload, loaded and iced at
Montreal last week, contains 450
hundred pound bags. or about 75O
bushels The potatoes are Green
Mountains. Katahdins. Cobblers and
Houmas They should be available
next week.
Hundreds of Calls.
The local seed potato situation Is
typified by the recent experience of
Mandley T. Rust, Falls Church
dealer. who has three carloads of
the Canadian potatoes on order.
Il have had 1000 calls in the last
few days for seed potatoes" Mr..
Rust said. Il have had to assign an
employe to do nothing but answer
the telephone and say no. Most
of the calls are requests for small
quantities for Victory gardens and
l am not going to fill any of them
First, l am going to take care of
my regular customers in Fairfax
County and then if any farmers in
Loudoun County or in Maryland
want seed potatoes in sizable guam
titles I will try to take care of them
have had calls from as far as
Richmond"
Mr.. Rust said that he had sold
eight carloads of seed potatoes this
year and could have sold twice
as many" The eight carloads is
more than he sold last year. He
was under the impression that as
much seed potatoes as last year had
come into this market but that the
demand was much greater as farm
ers sought to take a profitable part
in overcoming the potato shortage.
