Civic Federation
|bdcksCharter
For Montgomery
All County Citizens
Urged to Support
Plan by Voting
By MRS. J. REED BRADLEY.

The Montgomery County Civic
Federation last night Endorsed the
proposed charter by vote OF 10
to 4. and urged all voters Of the
county to vote for it November z.
A report by o. M. Kile, chairman
OF the special Charter Committee,
recalled that the Federation took the
initiative in 1898 in urging a survey
Of the county government and had
consistently worked for the further.
ance OF the charter movement.
After the meeting, Richard B.
Barker, president, issued the follow.
ing statement regarding the action:
The Montgomery County Civic
Federation Is composed Of delegates
from SIS member organizations rep
resenting the citizenry Of Montgom-
cry County. BY an overwhelming
vote the Federation has Endorsed tho
charter. For over a year the dele
gates have been carefully studying
the proposed charter and their con-
sidered opinion is clear mandate
that those citizens who are not pro-
fesSional politicians, or who have no
selfish interests in the defeat of the
charter, are backing this nonparti-
san movement for home rule in
government.
Challenge to Politicians.
"The vote of the federation is .
challenge to the politicians that the
citizens are determined to eliminats
the 'spoils system from county gov
eminent and institute in its place
a businesslike and efficient form Of
government under the councilman.
ager system"
Opposition to the charter was
crystallized in a resolution intro
duced by Royal H. Carlock, Delegate
to the Maryland Assembly, who
asked reputation of the charter,
alleging that it is unconstitutional
and would not be able to function
without remedial legislation, which
cannot be anticipated from Gem
eral Assembly known to be preju-
diced. Mr.. .Carlock's resolution lost
by vote of rs to 5. I
The importance of completing the
master plan of land use in suburban
Montgomery County before the war
ends and building activity resumes
was stressed in a report by Mr..
Barker, who is also chairman of q
special committee on master plans
and zoning in relation to postwar
planning.
Moratorium on Zoning.
A suggestion was made that the
county commissioners, acting as q
district council, grant a moratorium
on zoning petitions pending the
adoption Of master plan in cases
where there is expressed public OPP
position to the petition, except IN
cases Of emergency, IA.
Mr.. Bankers report was tabled
until the November meeting in order
that delegates may carry it back
to their associations.
The subject of garbage collection
and disposal, on which DR.. Herbert
Eaton was scheduled to make q re-
port, will be delayed until after the

Federation has favored the collec-
ton Of trash and garbage by the

Meal, Butter, Cream
Shortage 10 Continue
Remainder Of Year
Seasonal Increases Seen
In Poultry, Citrus Fruit
And Fresh Vegetables
By MALCOLM LAMBORNE. ]

Shortages Of meat, butter, fluid
cream and evaporated milk will con-
tinue for the remainder of this year,
lit appeared today following a report
of the Agriculture Department which
outlined the Nation food situation
for the last quarter of this year.
There will be seasonal increases
in such items AS poultry and citrus
fruits and continued large supplies
of fresh vegetables, fluid milk, eggs,
and grain products, the departments
Bureau of Agricultural Economics
predicted. However, supplies of
meat, butter, cream and evaporated
milk will be somewhat shorter"
The agency said that civilian meat
supplies for the rest of the year not
only will be smaller than in either
the same period in 1943 or in the
last three months of this year, but
the quality of meat will be generally
lower.
Beef and Pork Report.
A considerable portion of the bet
ter grades of both beef and pork will
not be available for civilians because
lof the requirements Of the armed
forces, the BAE said. 1.-THE output
of the better grades of pork will
increase seasonally, whereas no i'm
Iprovement in the average quality of
beef produced may be expected" the
report stated.
The bureau estimated that total
food costs had increased At per
cent since 1899, with nearly one
half this increase occurring before
the United States entered the war
Meat prices jumped about a third
cereals and bakery products, Is per
cent; fresh fruits and vegetables
100 per cent, and canned fruits and
vegetables, Al per cent.
The agency held out no hope for
an improvement in the tight butter
situation and warned that if Gov
eminent procurement follows pres
ent ALLEGATIONS, civilian supply OF
some canned vegetables and canned
fruits will be somewhat smaller de-
spite some increase in this years
pack. Canned vegetables are now
OF the ration list, but canned fruits
continue on the list with increased
point values.
Monthly Crop Report.
Meanwhile, the departments
monthly crop report scheduled for
release late today was expected to
point up prospects for good yields
of wheat, corn, soybeans and sor-
| ghums-crops which will relieve q
tight feed situation and may re-
suit in better grades of meat next
year.
September weather conditions
have been highly favorable to pas
lures and some grain crops, officials
said.
| Lee Marshall, head Of War Food
Administrations ONCE of Distribu-
ton, predicted last night that fooo
production this year will be almost
40 per cent above prewar levels
There Is still a chance. that pro-
duction will equal the 1912 year
the best food crop year on record

We Must Stop Being
0uttraded by British, :
Brewster Warns
Fy the Associated Press

80 NhS hssOClntSu rItSb.
NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-A realistic
policy to assure this country an in
crease in postwar foreign COM
merce, rather than letting Britain
"outtrade" us, is urged by Senator
Brewster, Republican, Of Maine in
an article in the January American
magazine.
Senator Brewster, a member Of
the Senates Commerce Committee
and the Committee on Naval Affairs,
deplores what he terms the failure of
TINS country to claim its share of
world trade.
Il fail to see how the United
States can continue to prosper if
every billion dollars of foreign trade
that we get costs the taxpayers or
billion dollars in gifts and in loans
that will never be repaid" he writes
stop Being Outtraded."
I'VE must stop being outtraded by
our good friends, the British, the
worlds greatest experts in economic
diplomacy"
Senator Brewster says that, al
though subordinates in Washington |
recommend realistic postwar agree
ments that will give the country its
share in world trade, their superiors
reason we should give the British
anything they want"
He quotes Lord Halifax as saying,
England recognizes that from now
on We must be Americas Junior
partner" and adds:
But If we do not use more COM
mon sense in our policy of give and
take it will continue to be we give
and they take"
Favors Big Merchant Fleet.
The Senator sees a chance that
the United States may become too
altruistic' by giving merchant yes
sells to Britain after the war. He |
favors Admiral Lands plan for
keeping this country in the fore
front in postwar shipping.
Senator Brewster hits at other ef-
forts of Britain to gain advantage.
He cites the sending of news via
Reuters throughout the world "at
trlfllng cost, while the news of other
nations travels at high rates." and
calls it "a powerful force in British
commerce"
I'VE must become realists
and operate with appreciation of the
fact that the policy of all nations
except the United States is Never

ator Brewster says.

But, certain grades and sizes of coal
