Wickard Urges 'Cut-Rate
Sales 10 Poor Nations
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary Of Agriculture Wickard

tional agreements providing for sale
Of world farm surpluses to poorer
countries at special "cut-rate" prices.
Such sales would be In addition to
quantities which would move in
normal trade relations under other
provisions Of such agreements set
ting each exporting countrys share
of world markets and fixing world
trade prices.
In a report written to q special
House Postwar Planning Committee,
Secretary Wickard said future farm
programs should encourage full and
efficient" production with prices of
domestically- portions of
crops supported by the Government
at equitable levels.
Other elements of a postwar agri-
cultural program should include, Mr.
Wickard said, an expanded school
lunch program, assistance to all
families with incomes below 81 500
so that they can obtain adequate
diets and clothing, expanded re-
search programs for finding new
uses for farm products, and Govern
ment payments on grants of mate
rias to encourage necessary shifts
IN farm production, and re-enact-
ment and expansion of crop insur-
ance programs.

Corporation Counsel
Handles 1884 Cases

The corporation counsel's office
handled 1894 cases during the
fiscal year ending last June 30,
Corporation Counsel Richmond B.
Keech revealed today in his annual
report to the Commissioners.
The Supreme Court decided two
cases against the District, but the
municipal government won the 1912
Washington Gas Light Co. decision
over the Public Utilities Commission,
which went to the court upon Pc
tition of the Once of Price Admin
istration and the Director Of Eco
nomic Sterilization.
More than $1,000 cases were heard
In the criminal division OF Mu-
nicipal Court and 4,075 in Juvenile
Court. In the criminal division,
fines and forfeitures aggregated
$819,971 and the 38,053 complaints
filed were 10,700 less than in the
preceding fiscal year.
During the year, 81 public acts
and two private laws relating to the
District were enacted, nine of which
were prepared by the corporation
counsel and submitted to Congress
by the Commissioners.
The office prepared II reports to
committees of Congress or to the
Budget Bureau, wrote 1,546 opinions
for the Commissioners and a num-
ber of opinions were written for
various regulatory agencies of the
local government.
In conjunction with the Public
Welfare Board, the corporation
counsel's Office obtained from estates
of persons adjudged to be of un-
sound mind and committed to ST.
Elizabeth's Hospital reimbursements
amounting to $314,597, the largest
amount ever collected.

Pepco's 5 Rate
Cut Delayed
By Court
Order Will Stoy
Effective Dote
Pending Hearing

Justice F. Dickinson Let's Of
District Court today announced he
would sign an order to stay the
effective date Of the recent Public
Utilities Commission electric rate
reduction order, pending a hearing
OF the cases merits In court.
The PUG order, which would re-
duce the electric rates for the year
beginning last March / by $l,037,-
l89. was appealed in suit filed at
District Court by the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Co. last month. The
court order will stay the reduction
order pending hearing on the Pepco
court appeal.
Last month, Justice T. Alan
Goldsborough of District Court
signed an order which had the effect
OF staying the PUG reduction order
until today, when a. hearing was
held on granting the further stay.
Justice Let's today granted
Peoples Counsel James J. Lauder
dale the right to intervene in the
case as representative of the people.
Attorneys for both Pepco and the
PUG had agreed to his Intervention.
Meanwhile, the United States,
through attorneys of the Justice
Department, today filed petition
at District Court asking the right
to intervene In the case. The Gov
ernment asked this permission as
Pepco's largest customer.
In papers filed at court, the United
States denies the rates under the
reduction order would be unreason-
ably low or that Pepco would sus-
tain great loss If the PUG order is
enforced.
The petition filed in behalf Of the
United States pointed to the fact
that the Procurement Division of
the Treasury Department and the
Public Buildings Administration of
the Federal Works Agency had in
tervened in the rate case during
hearings before the PUG. The Gov
eminent agencies sought a much
greater reduction than the PUG
ordered.

The District Board of Appeals re-
fused deferments for only 10 out of
400 men whose cases were acted on

viewed by the District Appeal Board

peal Board continued the occupa-
tional deferment of SO, men, of

ments on review by the Appeal
Board.

pational deferments and two de-
ferments on grounds Of hardship.
The board denied six appeals for
occupational deferment and three
for deferment as hardship cases.

in lao for noncombatant military
service.

Decision on CUSTODY
|0f Worthineton Boy
Expected Today

The fight for custody OF 6-year-
old Bobby Worthington has now
been taken under advisement by
Visiting Judge Archibald B. Lovett
of Georgia, and he is expected to
give his decision this afternoon.
Attorneys for the child's mother,
Mrs. Elaine Roberta Worthington,
and his grandmother, Mrs. Susie
j. Gilboy, finished their cases to-
day. Both women seek the child's
custody.
A habeas corpus proceeding, insti-
tuted by the boys mother, began yes
terday. The mother is the widow
of Army Warrant Officer John w.
Worthington, who was slain last
fall at Rehoboth, Del. Another war
rant officer, Carl Moulinie. was con-
victed of involuntary manslaughter
in connection with the Staying and
Is now serving an 18-month prison
term.
Unlawful Custody Claimed.
|. Mrs. Worthington, an Agriculture
Department employe and George
Washington University student,
who lives in the 1900 block of Seven
teenth street NV, contends her
child, who was 6 yesterday, has
been unlawfully detained by his
grandmother. Mrs. Gilboy claims
Robert has been in her custody since
1888, except for brief intervals.
Mrs. Gilboy, mother of the slain
warrant officer, testified Mrs. Worth
ington had failed to take proper care
of the boy. She also declared on
the stand that her daughter-in- law
had asserted sometime before the
shooting that she wished Worthing-
ton would commit suicide so she
could receive his insurance. She
further claimed that Mrs. Worth
ington had said she was afraid to
give details of the killing because of
fear that Moulinie would harm her.
Admits Suicide Plans
Mrs. Gilboy, on the witness stand
today admitted that she had twice
been fined for drunkenness and had
once been held at Gallinger Hospital
for mental observation after she had
contemplated committing suicide by
jumping off the Highway Bridge.
Mrs. Gilboy said she became drunk
and thought of suicide because of
worry about her grandson.
Mrs. Gilboy told the Judge she
planned to live with her husband
again when he returned from the
South Pacific. She admitted that
she had not lived with him since
1887 and that at one time she drove
him from the house.
She said, however, he had prom
ised to stop drinking and they would
