ParIey on Savannah
Milk Crisis Is Called
BY the Associated Press.

6S the ASSOCldLeQ fIeSS.
ATLANTA, Jan. l5.-City off1cials
at Savannah, Ca, called a confer
ence with dairymen for noon today
in last-minute effort to continue
the delivery Of milk at least FIVE days
beyond the stoppage deadline set
by producers and distributors for
this afternoon.
Mayor Thomas Gamble carried
with him to the conference table
an earlier pledge by the Navannah
distributors that they would con-
tinue deliveries to the city's war
time population of 10000 if pro-
ducers agreed
The dairymen's second suspension
deadline was called after the Office
OF Price Administration refused to
authorize price increase from Is
to 20 cents quart retail and from
40 to so cents a gallon wholesale.
The milk dealers contended the CELL
ing should be lifted to offset rising
costs of dairy feed.
The Savannah council was in ses-
sion most of yesterday arranging
for municipal distribution of milk
through the health department to
at least $4,000 children, sick and
aged should the dairymen go through
with their threatened stoppage.

PUG Minutes Offered
By Hankin as Proof
OF Secrecy Charge

Gregory Hankin, public utilities
commissioner, today submitted min
utes of Thursdays PUG meeting to
support his charge of yesterday that
the commission had decided that an
order permitting the Washington
Gas Light Co. to place $4,000 of
legal fees in operating expenses
should not be made available to the
public.
Mr.. Hankin argued that the opin-
ion should have been mimeographed
for general distribution and sent out
to the mailing list of the commits
sion as any other decision. The
mailing list includes the various
citizens associations and State util-
ity commissions.
The minutes of the meeting cited
by Mr. Hankin follow.
"The commission further directed
that the letter to the Washington
Gas Light Co. and the dissenting
opinion be not mimeographed nor
distributed generally"
Yesterday Chairman James H
flanagan issued a statement In
which he said similar situation
had arisen last year on the trans
fer of the fees and said the COM
mission was not passing on the
"reasonableness or propriety" of the
items, which would be considered
at the next gas rate hearing. He
described the order as merely a
routine one.
Mr.. Hankin, however, said that
two wrongs don't make a right
He then referred to his dissenting
opinion in the present order which
says questioning of such trans
fer arose last year only because he
dissented, and that, when the
matter was put in issue in the 1943
rate case no evidence was intro
duced by the commission as to the
reasonableness of the expenditures
for legal services"

tional foundations best can Justify
their existence by becoming "risk-
taking institutions, Harold S. Sloan
director of the Alfred P. Sloan
Foundation, declared today.
In an article in After the War
a bulletin published by the Institute
on Postwar Reconstruction at New
York University, Mr.. Sloan said
such foundations must absorb the
cost risks of new and uncertain prof.
ects which may contribute to better
education in the postwar world.
He estimated there are more than
300 endowed foundations in the
United States paying approximately
$40 100000 to institutions of educa-
ton and research each year.
Mr.. Sloan said he doubted that
young people returning from the
war, who in two years had been
taught the intricacies of modem
warfare, would be content with dull
lectures and Indifferent teaching"
He said the Sloan Foundation was
sponsoring projects in every known
medium of modern communication
to devise new and better ways to
disseminate economic knowledge in
both formal and adult education"

Heroic Ranger Epic
Now Joins Legends
OF Lost baifaIions

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
NAPLES, March 9.--Into the legends
of Lost Battalions must be written
the heroic but hopeless fight of two
battalions of the United States Fifth
Army Rangers who spearheaded the
early attack out of the Anzio beach,
head ON Cisterna and Di Littoria
early on the morning of last Janu-
airy &c.
The men were trapped when they
reached village on the Appian
Way, and none but a handful ever
came back from the attack on the
Germans.
It was announced at the time that
about 100 were killed, and the re-
mainder, some $50 men, were taken
prisoners,
The Rangers gave up only after
they had fired their last round of
ammunition and thrown their last
grenade against a vastly superior
German force which they encount-
cred after they had infiltrated four
miles through enemy lines in
stirring day and night OF action.
"There1l be sequel to it," vowed
the few stragglers who came back
to tell the story.

Nearing 5howdown;Rea|
Battle Is Now LOOMING
BY JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, March Sit is
becoming more apparent every day
here that the battle between the
executive and legislative branches
of government is nearing show
down-a real one
In other words, it's scrap now
to see whether Congress or the
President is going to run this war
and this country, or, as it should
be, both harmoniously working to-
gether.
The outcome of the battle may
not really be known until we 60 to
the polls in November-but it could
be known before that if public opin-
ion gets any more aroused than it
seems to be from this ivory tower.
The tax bill mess is the latest
straw in the wind. and as straw,
it's, a sizeable California redwood.
1 don't know how long it has been
since a President has felt forced
to veto a general revenue bill and
none of the old-timers I've talked to
has been able to help me out on the
information. It's just one Of those
things that isn't done.
The anti-subsidy bill was another,
although not anywhere nearly so
important except as a psychological
factor in the overall price control
program.
