Cost Of Feed Is Due
To Be Signed Today

will subsidize the cost OF approxi-
mately 100000 tons of hay for dis.
tribution to farmers in the drought
section around Washington at
cost Of $40 to SIS a ton, It was

States Cooperative. farm organi-
zation with offices In Richmond.
has been designated to make hay
purchases In surplus areas for re-
distribution In drought sections Of
Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and
West Virginia.
Subsidies Held Essential.

the hay subsidies were necessary
since farmers in the drought area
could not pay prevailing prices un-
der present milk ceilings.
1t was explained that farmers In
the drought area already are feed
ing next winters forage and that

provided in the area to forestall

drought, when more than 5000 car
loads were subsidized for sale to
farmers That year, 1t was said, the
cooperative lost quantities of hay
that had not been properly cured

ment inspected to insure its being In
proper condition before shipment.

ing a portion of a three or four
million bushel supply of corn which
the agency now owns.

Petition 10 Shift

BY Staff Correspondent of The Star.
LEESBURG, Va, Sept. IA petit
ton to shift the trial of Thomas
William Clatterbuck, accused of
numbering five persons on the A.
Morris Love farm near here June l,
to some other county was filed with
Judge j. r. H. Alexander in the
Loudoun County Circuit Court here
today.
In his request for a change of
venue, Clatterbuck, through his at
torney, Maj Robert A. Mcintyre,
asked that the trial be taken ito
some other circuit remote from the
place where the offense =" was
alleged to have been committed
Clatterbuck is charged with slay-
ing Mr.. Love, his wife and son
James, and Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
Russell, tenants on the Love farm.
Clatterbuck, in his petition,
charged that feeling against him in
this community is so great that he
was unable to obtain affidavits to
support his request for a change of
venue.
Prosecutor Opposes Petition.
The petition was opposed by
Commemorative Attorney Charles
F.. Harrison, who said he did not
believe exhaustive efforts had been
made to obtaii, a jury in Loudoun
County. Mr.. Harrison denied that
the atmosphere in this area is detri-
mental to the interests of the pris-
oner.
Efforts to impanel jury Monday
failed after venire of so citizens
yielded only jurors. Fifty of those
examined admitted they would be
unable to give Clatterbuck a fair
trial because of preconceived opin-
ions as to his guilt or innocence.
Two others were excused because
of conscientious scruples against i'm
posing capital punishment and two
were dismissed for other reasons.
In his petition, Maj. Mcintyre de-
clared that newspaper accounts of
the slayings were grossly unfair
and had the effect of producing a
oCLbiilCib Va FioiCiit OpPOoltlOIl
against Clatterbuck.
Defense counsel also claimed
stories appearing in detective maga-
zines for having so poisoned the
public minds that no jury could be
found in Loudoun County" to give
Clatterbuck an impartial trial.
Changes Mind on Venire.
Although Mr. Harrison had con-
CURED in a motion for a change
of venire made by Maj. Mcintyre
Monday. the prosecutor told the
court today that he was withdraw
ing his concurrence 'for the time
being"
He said he would insist that the
remaining 240 names on the Loudoun
County jury list be polled before any
steps were taken either to move the
scene of the trial or to bring in
jurors from some other county.
Maj McIntyre's request that the
proceedings be removed from this
circuit would eliminate not only
Loudoun County. but Fauquier and
Rappahannock Counties as possible
locations for the trial, if the petition
were granted

the move as an economy measure,
since Arlington is twice as far from

ministering the OPA program in
that section would be increased.

James S. Douglas, executive secre-
tary Of the Alexandria board, said
the board feels it is acquainted with

necessitate a readjustment and a
consequent slowing up of the boards
work.
The shift resulted from the re-
division of Virginia between the dis
