Iurk key Shortage Here Expected
To Be Eosed by Tomorrow

The turkey supply here may i'm
prove by tomorrow, Thanksgiving
eve, as producers release birds they
have been holding for above-ceiling
prices, John L. Laskey. chief en-
forcement attorney for the District
Office of Price Administration, said
today.
Mr.. Laskey explained it this way:
When turkeys arrive at the right
age for consumption, it is going to
cost the farmer more to feed fowl
for another month-to Christmas
time-than to sell them now at
legitimate prices. The majority of
local dealers have been turning
thumbs down on black market
turkeys, he said, disclosing that he
had received more than a hundred
calls from retailers asking why the
OPA did not put a stop to handlers
who have been approaching dealers
with above-ceiling offers.
Accordingly, Mr.. Laskey said,
there is no big outlet for the black

On which Thursday to cook that
Thanksgiving turkey provided there
is one) is the problem that is be-
fuddling Virginia housewives.
If father happens to earn his
living south of the Potomac, every
thing is fine But if he happens to
be among the several thousands who
make their homes in Virginia and
commute to jobs in the District,
there is a problem.
Virginia, being among the six
States which have set the holiday
for November 80, will observe the
holiday week later than AZ sister
States and the District, thus creating
the possibility of two turkeys and
two feast days for several Thousand
Virginians.
With fathers day off coming this
week, and the children's holiday
from school a week later, families
also are finding it difficult to syn
chronize their Thanksgiving Day
jaunts into the country.

New Warning Issued
As Fourth Dog Victim
Succumbs 10 Rabies

The death of Mrs Lucia Anderson,
SO, of 225 Massachusetts, avenue
NE, at Sibley Hospital Friday, was
due to rabies, the Health Depart
ment reported yesterday Mrs
Anderson is the fourth person to die
from rabies in the District IN the
last l3 months.
Tl1c Health Department said that
Mrs Anderson started the Pasteur
treatment at Gallinger Hospital two
days after being bitten on Septem-
ber 6 and took the full course of
Pasteur treatments that ended Sep
tember 81. The department said it
understood, however, that the bite
wound was not cauterized.
Health Officer George C. Rutland
said that dog bite wounds should be
cleanSed Immediately with soap and
water and followed by cauterization
under the direction of a physician
He emphasized that all dog bites
should be carefully treated, whether
the dog is suspected of rabies or not
DR.. Rutland attributed rabies
deaths in large measure to the num-
ber of stray dogs and the neglect
Of dog owners in permitting their
pets to run at large. The Commits
sioners recently extended an order,
which now has been in effect more
than a year. requiring the muzzling
of dogs.
DR.. Rutland said that 1876 dogs

Vacdting Of Site

Adkins Mindful of
Hordships. but Cites
War Powers Act

District Court Justice Jesse c. Ad-
kins today ruled that block at
Washington Circle must be vacated
January to make way for con-
struction by the Government of
the new hospital to be operated by
George Washington University.
The jurist based his decision on
provisions of the Second War Powers
Act invoked by the Government on
the declaration in court by Federal
counsel that January 2 was the
date when the Federal Works
Agency needs the property for the
project.
Counsel for the st. Paul's Episco-
pal Church and several property
owners in the square plan to carry
the case to the Court of Appeals as
soon as possible.
Arguments Center on Hardship"
Arguments todav centered for the
most part on the question of hard
ship on the part OF both the church
and the property owners. Counsel
for the protesting occupants of the
block asked for an extension of
time ranging as late as up to next
summer.
There had been much argument
over the authority of the court to
sign an order for possession, but
the jurist contended he did have the
authority at least to extend the
present order which had fixed the
date as of December / to the new
deadline of January 2.
After questioning by Government
counsel as to an Interpretation of
his new ruling, Justice Adkins said
that he felt that if new facts arise
l would have the power to extend
the time still further unless the
Court OF Appeals takes it out of my
hands"
Justice Adkins. in addition to ex-
tending the date about a month,
also made what he called findings
'of fact" He said that he had been
impressed by the affidavits of prop
|erty owners showing hardship and
that If he had been acting solely
under the Federal Procedural Act
he would have extended the date to
March l instead of January 2. That.
he said, would have been reason
able time" despite the fact that it
still would have been hardship to
the church.
Active Church Season.
The church, through its counsel
Roger j. Whiteford, told the court
today that the congregation now
was entering its time of greatest
activity with the holiday season ap-
preaching. The season up to Easter
brings in the greatest financial con-
tributions to the support of the
church, he pointed out.
The congregation of st. Paul's has
been offered the use of Lisner Audi
torium for its Sunday services, the
court was told by both Robert r
Macleod, Justice Department at
torney, and Mr.. Whiteford. Mr.
Macleod also explained that the
university was willing to offer hous-
ing facilities for other services of
the church in some of its other
buildings.
Several aff1davits were filed today
by counsel for various tenants and
property owners in the block to
show Hardship" Commenting on
them, Justice Adkins said he felt
that they were quite temperate" in
their phraseology. The jurist said
he felt the hardship was much
greater on the tenants than on the
church.

Attempts 10 Justify
Anti-Semitism kent
From Sedition Jury
Bv GARTER BROOKE HOMES.


Government counsel had sue
ceeded in keeping out of the record
at the sedition trial today defense
attempts to justify the anti-Semitic
propaganda circulated by some de-
PENDANTS, which the prosecution ac-
cuses them of borrowing from the
Nazis
Repeated efforts to bring out on
cross examination of a Government
witness testimony supporting the
defense explanation of attacks on
the Jews were blocked when Chief
Justice Edward c. Eicher sustained
objections of Chief Prosecutor O.
John Rogge.
Called Anti Communist.
The defense seeks to show that
those defendants who were anti
Semitic were only fighting Com
muniSm, which the defendants
claimed was led by Jews, and these
defendants were patriotically try
ing to protect America instead of
plotting to undermine it's armed
forces, as the Government charges.
Ethelbert B. Frey, attorney for
Robert E. Edmondson. asked Henry
D. Allen, a Government witness,
formerly associated with William
Dudley Pelley and other defendants,
If the Army did not exclude him
from the West Coast because of his
patriotic efforts" to expose dangers
to this country. The witness was
not allowed to answer.
Mr.. Frey then introduced for
identification a copy of the cele-
brated Protocols of the Learned
Elders of Zion" a document de-
nounced as forgery and defended
as valid expression of Jewish aims.
The attorney, however, was blocked
when he tried to question the wit
ness concerning passages from the
book. Justice Eicher held they had
no 1elevance at this stage of the
trial.
Tells Of Fry Incident.
Mr.. Allen, in response to further
questions, testified that Mrs. L. Fry,
previously identified as deeply con-
cerned with the nationalist and
nti-Communist activities of the
defendants, tried to get him to toss
a hunk of concrete" through a
plate-glass window in the home of
Leon Lewis, described as Los Angeles
head of the Anti-Defamation League,
a Jewish organization.
Il told her to go to hell" said the
witness.
Mrs Fry was author of a book
called Waters Flowing Eastward, -
it was brought out. She was men,
toned in number of Government
exhibits previously introduced in
evidence.
William J. Powers, attorney for
William Dudley Peliey, asked if Mrs.
Fry had not sent man to spy on
George E. Deatherage, defendant,
who founded the American Ma
tlonallst Confederation The wit
ness said he had no personal knowl-
edge of that
Identifies "Hatfield.'
Asked by Mr.. Powers who was the
Hatfield to whom Deatherage re-
ferred in a letter to Mr.. Allen, the
witness said it was a former Lieu
tenant Governor of California. Mr..
Allen said ne had appeared on the
same platform with Mr.. Hatfield a
number of times.
Il might add" said the witness,
that he was a great admirer of
William Dudley Pelley."
Pelley headed the Silver Shirts
in which Mr.. Allen at one time was
enrolled.
In reply to questions by Lawrence
Dennis, defendant representing
himself, Mr.. Allen said he never had
heard any of the defendants talk of
undermining the morale of the
armed forces, overthrowing democ-
racy throughout the world or setting
up Fascist states.
