ing from persecution complex, de-
preston or confusion, the group
was advised
Drs. Bache and Berle found that
if the employe was a District resi-
dent there arose the legal question
of transporting the patient across
the District Virginia line, and that
if the case were treated as of Vir-
ginia, there was no mental hospital
within 100 miles, setting up difficult
ties of transportation and delays.
In fact, they reported, according
to advices given Mr.. Randolph, one
patient had to be confined in the
Alexandria Jail on charge of Great
ing a disturbance, because better
facilities were unavailable.
With the increasing number of
Federal employees living in Arlington
Farms dormitories-about 5000 now
and the number possibly may go to
5000 soon-it is important that this
area be placed under jurisdiction of
the District" the two physicians
said, as eligibility for pitalization
depends upon residency rather than
location of where the individual
works.
Mr. Randolph was advised that
one of the women found mentally
sick was reported to have been a
nudist walking around in the hall
clothed only in feather"
The physicians protested that
Virginia had no adequate provision
for custorial care of psychiatric in
dividuals and that if they were
temporarily placed in Jail even this
had its difficulties, for a female at
tendant must be assigned to them
and such attendants were difficult to
find.
Drs. Bache and Berle added: "It
also seems obvious that the Civil
Service Commission must have a
more adequate system to prevent
the hiring of psychotic individuals"
saying this subject already had been
taken up with the commission.
They contended that the medical
care of the psychotic individuals
who can remain on the job was
another serious problem" and that
provision should be made for neces-
sary clinical care for them.
Mr.. Randolph said it was his idea
that while non-District residents
should be admitted to Gallinger or
other District institutions for i'm
mediate care, when necessary, such
patients would be sent home if con-
tinued care were necessary.
A bill intended to settle the Dis
trict-Virginia boundary dispute has
been reported favorably by the
House District Committee and is
awaiting House action. 1t takes the

WITH THE AEF ON THE ITAL-
IAN FRONT, Jan. 9 CDelayed) -
Pvt. Billy Miller, 81, a talking
doughboy from Peoria, ILL.,, hood
winked German lieutenant and 18
enlisted men into believing they
were surrounded and then marched
them single-handed to captivity
across 900 yards of No Mans Land.
(Other dispatches said the keen
observation of the German officer,
who had noticed Pvt. Miller's
name on his cigarette case, was
responsible for identification of
the captor who promptly disap-
peared after turning in his
charges without giving his name)
Pvt. Miller pulled off the exploit
when he went into action for the
first time Thursday night as his
company attacked hill in the San
Vlttore area. Surrounded by so
Germans while he and a few COM
rades were bringing some wounded
and a prisoner to the rear. Billy and
his mates had to surrender.
A platoon of 19 Germans took
charge of Billy. In tunneled-out
cave where they put up for the
night the ferries started talking
about taking him back to a prison
camp. The lieutenant, who spoke
English, told him what they were
saying.
You'll never make it," Billy said.
He knew he was at least a quarter
of mile in front of his own line.
but he added: We've got you sur
rounded. Listen!"
Gunfire cracked outside, echoing
in the cave. They spent the night
there.
Next day the fighting still was
terrific, so the German platoon
moved only a short distance farther
back, this time to a farmhouse in
the valley behind the hill. They
drank some wine and found some
bread, but you could hardly stick
knife into it. Billy said later.
They asked him if American
bread was that hard.
"Oh, no." said Billy, who used
to be a dough roller in a Peoria
Army biscuit bakery. American
bread is all fresh and soft"
The Germans looked at one
another.

MAcfs 10 Provide
Freezer Space for
Better Cuts Of Meat
BY GEORGE H. ENGEMAN

Armed with a new order, War
Food Administration officials TODAY
were prepared to force the removal
OF any part of the more than 49,
100000 pounds of so-called edible
of1al" now occupying approximately
10 per cent of the Nations over
crowded freezer space, to make
room for the better cuts flowing
from packing houses.
Brought under strict regulation
are such items as lungs, bones.
udders, stomachs, pork skins, snouts
ears, pigs feet, pork veal and OK
tails and other pork and beef trim
mings as we'll as horse meat, cured
meats, lard and tallow.
The new regulation-Food Dis
tributlon Order 90-1-will affect the
1000 OF Coast Guard and Army
oogs and ZOO animals (there are
some $4,000 pounds of frozen horse
meat IN Washington alone) as well
as the ingredients of an inesti-
mable amount of sausage for hu-
mans.
Immediate Reports Asked.
Only the 1000 to 1900 warehouses
having 10000 or more cubic feet of
freezer space are brought under the
order and these have been directed
to report Immediately the total
quantity OF all the designated COM
modities they have in their freezers.
Private food lockers and freezers
operated as part of an established
wholesale or retail food business,
hotel or other similar establish
ment are excluded from the order.
The order gives the food distribu-
ton administrator full control over
the bulk of freezer space, but off,
clas pointed out today that no
wholesale evacuation of the vast
accumulation of edible offal is con-
templated. Instead, warehousemen
are being required to get specific
authorizations before retaining the
material beyond the dates fixed by
the order or before receiving addi-
tlonal quantities for freezing or
storage in freezer space. AS a re-
suit, officials were busy today ham
ding hundreds of requests for these
authorizations.
They said the aim of the order
was to make it possible to work low
food value commodities out of CEN
ters where freezer crowding is most
critical-such as Chicago or st.
Louis-into less critical areas. For
example, Boston sausage manu-
facturer who may have a large sup
ply of materials in Chicago will be
asked to get it out and store it at
some way point
Occupancy Figures.
The officials also pointed out that
the order does not bar the items
from cooler space-30 to 35 degrees
and assert that this type of storage
Is just as suitable for them. Cooler
occupancy on December l was only
73 per cent, they said, whereas
freezer occupancy on the same date
was 80 per cent for the country as
a whole, with the figure running
into the COS in critical areas.
The freezer occupancy figure is 13
per cent above that of year ago,
they said, due to a 283 per cent in
crease in the storage of butter, As
per cent increase in the storage of
meat, 81 per cent increase in the
storage of fruits and vegetables, a
38 per cent increase in the storage
of frozen eggs and 16 per cent
increase in the amount of frozen
poultry in storage

Compromise Sought
Ito Avert Battle on
Subsidies for Food :

Renewed efforts were being made
today to effect compromise on the
food subsidy issue that would get
1t out of the way-at least until
after the fall elections.
Although the administration off,
cially was standing pat on pro-
gram embracing subsidies of more
than 81 200 100000 on long list of
foods, officials closely in touch with
food policies indicated that they
were willing to discuss proposals to
pare the amount and list of foods
providing funds are made available
for the stamp plan to aid low-in-
come families.
Among foods now being subsidized
are milk, butter, cheese, meats, -four,
bread. other wheat food products,
vegetable oil products, dry beans,
prunes, raisins, canned vegetables,
sugar, citrus fruit juices, apples and
peanut butter
The administration will insist, it
was said, on retaining subsidies on
flour, bread, milk, sugar canned
vegetables and vegetable oil prod
uctS.
Costing $50 600 900.
They would cost the Government
about $125 100000 a year for flour
and bread, $500, 100000 for milk,
$50, ,000,00 for sugar, $30, ,000, 900 for
canned vegetables and about $685.
0O0, 900 for vegetable oil products-a
total of s570,0O0,OO0.
Thus possibly eliminated under a
compromise plan would be a butter
and meat rollback subsidy costing
about $3.50 100000 a year and sub
sides on items of lesser importance
costing about s180,000,0 ,000 Discon-
tinuance of these subsidies would
necessitate corresponding increases
in ceiling prices of most items af-
fected. including boosts of about
10 per cent in retail prices of meats
and butter.
There also were reports over the
week end that the administration
was preparing to announce $7,000,-
900 subsidy program for grade fruit
juice, to relieve a squeeze on process
sors.
Some Republican Opposition Seen.
The food stamp plan has been ad-
vanced by some members Of Congress
as substitute for the administra-
tion's program. They contend that
present subsidies are spread among
all consumers regardless of income
and would limit the benefits to low
income groups
Some Republican opposition to the
stamp plan has developed, however.
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio,
protested it would create another
WPA," and Senator Bush1eld, Re-
publican, expressed belief it would
put the country back on relief"
The War Food Administration has
estimated that the program would
cost about 100000, 600 a year. But
Senator Aiken, Republican, of Ver-
mont, author Of the food stamp bill.
and some other lawmakers regard
the figure as excessive.
Congressional stamp plan advo-
Gates have been thinking in terms
of aiding about 100000 low-in-
come consumers Talk of an appro-
priation of about 100000 a year
for the stamp plan was heard in
both administration and congress
sional circles.
Under such a compromise plan,
the s400, 100000 would be distributed
among low-income consumers while
s570 900 900 for other subsidies would
be spread among low as we'll as
higher income groups. E
