Retired Civil Servants
Barred Annuity Increase

The bill to give retired Civil Serv-
ice employees a IS per cent wartime
increase in their annuities was
blocked, for the time being at least,
IN the Senate late yesterday.
When Chairman Downey Of the
Senate Civil Service Committee
asked for its immediate considera-
ton by unanimous consent. Sena-
tor Gurney. Republican OF South
Dakota, pointed out that earlier in
the day the Senate had laid aside
q bill to increase the allotments to
dependents Of servicemen. He. said
he thought the Civil Service meas
ure should wait until I'VE have taken
care Of the soldiers dependents. :"
Senator Vandenberg. Republican
of Michigan, asked why veteran
with service-connected disability
from the last war should not also
be included In any increase in bene-
fits.
The Civil Service bill consists Of
two sections. One grants the Is
per cent increase to employees who
retired in low salary brackets. The
other permits higher grade employees
who retired prior to January, 1912
to have their annuities recomputed
according to the new formula that
took effect at that time.

Poultry and Meat
Scarce as Shoppers
Throng Markets

Meat and poultry supplies dwin-
died almost to the vanishing point
here yesterday, as shoppers thronged
stores to buy food for the holiday
week end and spent their ration
stamps freely in anticipation Of in
creased point values effective today
on many choice meats.
Supplies were small to begin with,
as the result Of q buying rush earlier
in the week, caused by the Wednes-
day night expiration Of flve sets Of
red ration stamps. BY last night,
beef and poultry were almost un-
obtainable, and many shops could
not meet the demand for cuts Of
pork and lamb.
Signs lettered no butter" also
were reported in some stores, in
GLIDING at least one major butter
dispensary, the Chestnut Farms
Dairy substation in the Arcade
Market, on Fourteenth street near
Park road.
Canned Fruit Sought.
The buying wave extended in some
stores to those processed foodstu6s
on which increased point values are
effective today. One large North
west section concern reported that
women bought canned fruits such as
peaches and pears in large volume,
determined to stretch their vanishing
point values to the greatest advan-
tage. Most other storekeepers. how
ever, said they were busy waiting on
customers, but noticed no specialized
buying.
George M. jacobson. partner Of 4
grocery firm in the 100 Of Connecti-
cut avenue, said he could have sold
5000 chickens yesterday. If he had
had them. AS for beef, his store
hadn't had any since Tuesday, he
added.
The E. T. Goodman shop in the
Arcade Market reported countless
calls for beef exhausted the supply
long before the day was over. People
who couldn't get beef bought what
they could get. Business was ter
rife" 1t was said.
Poultry Shop Closed.
Another dealer in the same market
reported that poultry shop there
remained closed throughout the day,
because it had nothing to sell.
OPA ration values, announced Fri
day. raised the point cost Of all
beef one point per pound and in
creased the point cost Of popular
lamb and veal cuts. The point
values Of IL processed food items
also were raised, including items
such as corn, peas, canned beans,
tomatoes, pears and peaches.
Also contributing to the buying
spree was the fact that three sets
OF blue ration stamps, exchangeable
for processed foods, expire next
Wednesday. Many housewives ap-
parently were cashing in today all
their remaining stamps in these sets
Grocers generally were expecting
rush yesterday, in view of the
Monday holiday. Many large stores
including one chain store with more
than 100 retail outlets. will remain
closed all day tomorrow. while hun
dreds of other establishments will
remain open only a half day.

double honors tomorrow. The
Corcoran Gallery Of Art will open
an exhibition Of more than $50 Of
his original cartoons and at the
same time will celebrate his golden
wedding anniversary.
With Mrs. Bergman at his side,
Mr.. Bergman will participate In an
informal reception at the Corcoran
Gallery from 2:3o to 4:3o pm. Many
friends and acquaintances from the
great, near-great, and the rank and
flle Of American citizens plan to pay
their respects.
The exhibit will include original
cartoons hung In three large rooms
on the first floor Of the gallery and
will constitute 4 cross section of
Mr.. Berryman's work, especially
during the more recent period OF
the New Deal and World War II.
A few choice exhibits have been
selected to represent some OF the
most interesting events of the past.
Mr.. Bergman has been sketching

81 years. making friends by his
cartoons among persons of al polit-

and to the veteran cartoonist, who is
now "a.
Declaring the gallery was greatly
pleased that the artist had accepted
tho invitation to hold the special
retrospective exhibition" Mr.. Min
nigerode said:
Mr.. Berryman's cartoons are so
we'll known-not only in Washing
ton, where they have been pub
lished daily in The Evening Star
for many years. but throughout the
country-that they need no intro
duction. They never fail to re-
fleet the character and personality
Of the artist. and his gentle and tol-
Grant attitude toward his felloWman
They are never unkind. never bitter;
they never hurt nor give justifiable
offense, and never carry with them
what may be termed 4 sting. But
they are invariably clever, always
timely; possess a rare sense Of hu-
NOR, and are drawn with great
knowledge and skill.
1T is not surprising. therefore,
that in his chosen field, Cliff Berry,
man stands today among the FORE
most cartoonists in the country. His
work is especially significant for
the reason that he has known, init
mately and personally, over a long
term of years, many hundreds Of
persons in public life and IN high
Government positions.
Mr.. Bergman is one of the most
beloved citizens of Washington and
the Corcoran Gallery welcomes the
opportunity OF presenting this most
interesting exhibition for the enjoy

and for the public at large"

To Receive Index
OF American Design
BY LEILA MECHLM.

Mai. Gen. Phillip B. Fleming, ad-
lninistrator Of the Federal Works
Agency. announced yesterday that
the Index OF American Design has
been placed permanently In the Gus
tody of the National Gallery Of Art,
for the benefit Of the people Of the
Nation as q whole and to insure both
It's use and its safekeeping, 4 re-
sponsibility which David E. Finley,
director Of the National Gallery Of
Art, has accepted in the name OF his
trustees.
The index consists Of more than
$4,000 drawings and paintings, in
water colors and oils, and of craft
work, designed and executed by
American artists and artisans from
Colonial days up to the latter half
Of the past century, monumental
record of taste and skill on the
part of q pioneer people which en-
gagingly reflects their life and in
terests.
Great Variety.
There are wood carvinss-ship
figureheads, dolls and doll furni-
ture-articles Of utility In blown
glass and Of clay. woven fabrics, en-
broideries and other needlework. ar
ticles in wrought iron as well as
silver. A wide field is covered not
only in the matter of production,
but in geographical area, extending
from New England to New Mexico,
Utah to Florida.
The Pennsylvania Dutch, the
Spanish and French settlers Of the
Gulf coast, the Shakers, the Quakers
and the Mormons are all seen to
have made individual contribution
to the upbunding of the artistic
handicrafts in America.
These drawings and paintings
were made by contemporary Amer
lean artists and illustrators en-
ployed by the WPA Federal Art
Project and working, wherever the
originals were to be found, under
expert supervision and with the as
sistance of skilled research scholars.
Technically tte work Is admirable.
It also is artistic.
At present the Index Of American
Design is on deposit with the Met
ropolitan Museum Of Art. New York,
where it Is being indexed and prop
erly collated for exhibition pur-
poses. Arrangements have been
made for the continuance of this
valuable work under these auspices
for several years, which gives in
stance Of the desire Of the trustees
OF the National Gallery to cooper
ate with other art institutions In
extension programs.
Fitting Location.
In announcing the transfer Of the
index to the National Gallery Of
Art, as proprietary holder, Gen.
Fleming said 1T seems to me 1T
ting that this important work, OF
great interest to all Americans and
belonging to the American people
themselves, II any labor of art and
scholarship ever did, should ulti-
mately be located In washington
and added to the Governments
holdings Of comparable material in
the art galleries and museums Of
the Nations Capital
Mr.. Finley. speaking in the same
vein, expressed the hope that some
day there would be located here a
museum Of the decorative arts, in
which this Index of American De-
sign would find fitting place. In
other words, that the index itself
might well contribute to such de-
eirable end.
