The: District Medical Society prob
ably will take some action soon to
back DR.. George c. Huhland, Dis
trict health ofllcer, in resisting poll
tical pressure for the assignment of
physician to hospital, member
of the society's Executive Committee
said today.
The member, who asked that his

what form the action would take.
He did say he was personally for
backing DR.. Rutland to the limit and

other members"

Senator Guffey, Democrat, OF Penn
sylvania to Commissioners Mason
and Young in regard to obtaining a
hospital assignment of DR.. Eugene
de Savitsch, his personal physician,
occurred Tuesday, the day after the
last meeting of the Medical So
ciety board. The second letter
complained of glorious run
around" from DR.. Ruhland and
threatened an investigation Of the
Health Department by a special
senatorial committee. The letters
were written in 1912, more than a
year before the recent senatorial
investigation of Gallinger Hospital
and the Health Department.
THEODORE Wiprud, secretary OF
the Medical Society and its usual
spokesman, was noncommittal.
"All I can say now" he said, "is
that when we act, we will act"

of the council yesterday, is imper-
ative to about 1900 youngsters now

The agencies cooperating with

DC. Poultry Shortage
Predicted as Result
OF 0PA Price Ru|inu
Dealers Attorney Says
Supplies Go to New York
For Higher Profits

Washington faces a shortage OF
poultry which may become lex
tremely serious" in the next few
weeks, counsel for local poultrymen
predicted today in an attack on the
ONCE Of Price Administration ac-
tion granting a 1-cent increase to
shippers to the New York market.
Joseph B. Danzansky, counsel for
the poultry section Of the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association,
pointed out that wholesalers here
already have been informed by their
regular shippers that they were
planning to send their supplies to
New York. where they have assur-
ances of a better price.
The action comes at a time when
consumer demand for poultry is ex-
pected to rise as a result of in
creased ration values for most cuts
of meat which become effective SUM-
day, he Said.
Seek to Ease Market.
The OPA on Wednesday author
lied a 6e-day order permitting the
addition aof maximum of cents
|a pound as transportation costs
to the base ceiling price OF poultry
shipped to New York. The action
was taken, OPA said, to ease an
acute shortage.
Mr.. Danzansky charged that the
OPA had yielded to pressure from
New York wholesalers, who, he ac-
cused of staging "a sit-down strike
in order to force a better price out
of OPA" He added that legally
we don't believe the OPA order will
stand up under formal protest"
The attorney said he planned tc
protest the action and that he had
already called the problem to the
attention of the District OPA.
John L. Laskey, local OPA en-
forcement attorney, said his Office
recognized the problem and planned
to take up the matter with regional
and national offices looking toward
solution that might prevent any
drain of poultry from the Washing
ton market.
Price Disparities Noted.
Price disparities between Wash
ington and New York markets were
noted in the latest market report OF
the War Food Administration Of
nee Of Distribution. Best-grade
broilers at New York were quoted al
80 and 80 cents a pound, wholesale
compared with 281a to 80 cents q
pound here.
Washington will begin to feel the
pinch in supplies next week, Mr.
Danzansky said.
The VIA spokesman admitted the
possibility of a shortage here, but he
pointed out that there was a good
chance the shippers will find, In
time, that the New York market has
become glutted. They may then de-
eide to resume shipments here, he
said. ..-..

Just imagine this scene, if you can: 1t is about 1850 ano
Farmer D. H. Spring is seated on his palatial front porch. Mrs
Spring has pust put the dinner dishes in the combination auto
looking salesman sold her. The hired man has gone out to the

their daily ration of feed which, of course, has been vitaminized

to decide whether to take a little nap or turn a knob and look
at the latest television newscast.
If we believe some of the colorful reading matter and adj
vertising we see almost every day, we can imagine something
just as far-fetched as this. Some of this high-pressure publicity
borders on the fantastic.
Research and invention have been stimulated tremendously
expect these new products to hit the market Immediately after
the war. First of all, there is the problem of conversion, of get
ting back to civilian production just as soon as possible. To do
this, manufacturers for some time after the war will be using
the first tools and dies available to fill the huge deferred con-
sumner demand. This may mean, for example, that for some
time we will have 1912 model cars instead of the kind some of
our imaginative publcists are writing about.
Ultimately we will have many remarkable new products
Though eventually much of this is certain to come to pass. it
will take time.
Meanwhile, let's keep our heads and take the advice of one
major manufacturing concern: "We must bring ourselves toI
