Mason Will Propose
Doq Leash Law

Citing the growing number OF
persons who have been bitten by
rabid dogs this year, Commissioner
Guy Mason said today he believed
the city needed law to require
leashing of dogs and would advo-
cate such a step at meeting OF
the Commissioners, probably tomor-
row.
He said Corporation Counsel Rich
mond B. Keech would be asked to
draft the necessary legislation, but
he expressed doubt that there would
be time for its enactment at this
session of Congress. Meanwhile, he
again called on dog owners to CO.
operate by keeping their dogs tied
up.
A dog which last week bit person
was declared rabid yesterday by the
Health Department, after laboratory
tests.
The dog was said to have bitten
a person, while in the 600 block OF
Callan street NE, making the 54th
person bitten or scratched by rabid
animals this year. The dog was the
18TH animal found rabid since jan
uary l.
Meanwhile, the Health Depart
ment announced 20 new cases of
scarlet fever, bringing the years
total to 3,009, with 452 still in quar-
antine.
Doctors have reported the present
scarlet fever epidemic to be mild,
with few after-effect complications.
Although the death rate previously
was about / per cent, only two
deaths have been reported from
complications. With the normal rate
there would have been 80 deaths.

Predicted by BowIes
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Renewal of general meat ration
lng-possibly within 80 days-was
predicted yesterday by Price Ad-
u1inistrator Chester Bowles.
I'm quite confident we will have
to have rationing again on meat in
30. so or 80 days, or maybe it will be
January or February" he told the
House Banking Committee.
Representative Gamble, Republi-
can, of New York interposed: ITS
not going to be before the election?
Nfr. Bowles shot back:
IT resent these remarks, appear
Ing at various places, that politics
figure in this program, because were
convinced the public knows we are
operating on a clean basis
Mr.. Bowles said the date when
meat will have to be rationed again
depends on the amount of feed
available for animals and the rate
of shipments by farmers and
ranchers.
When the supply gets tight again,
he declared, "the public will demand
rationing. They look on 1t as a
protection.

District Faces Slim
Supply Of Turkeys
For Thanksgiving

Poultry dealers here predicted only
a slim" supply of turkeys in time
for Thanksgiving after a check
showed the city virtually without
supplies.
Joseph B. Danzansky, attorney
for the wholesale poultry division
of the Merchants & Manufacturers
Association. said turkey prospects for
the holiday were practically nil.
The War Food Administration ear
lier had announced that its order
freezing birds in the major turkey
producing States would have to be
continued for an undetermined pc
riod-until Army requirements had
been met.
The Army has bought sufficient
supplies to give every fighting man
overseas turkey for the Thanksgiv-
ing, Christmas and New Year Day
but only about SIS per cent of its
requirements for troops in the United
States has been reached to date
according to the VIA.
Dealers say several weeks would
be required between the lifting oi
the ban and Thanksgiving to pro-
vide enough birds for civilians. The
bulk of turkeys consumed here are
shipped from the West. Only Is
to 20 per cent of the supply comes
from nearby areas.
Some dealers frankly admit they
could procure supplies if they were
willing to pay farmers above-ceiline
prices. The current premium" fol
such sales is cents a pound, they
report.
John L. Laskey, chief enforce.
ment attorney for the District OPA
warned that regardless of the SUP.
ply situation, ceiling prices on tur.
keys will be enforced" He said HI
had called on the regional and ma.
tional OPA offices to see that sim.
liar controls are effected in othel
large cities in order to avoid 8
diversion.
Mr.. Laskey said his agency hac
received splendid" CO operatio,
from poultry dealers in their re.
fusal to buy or sell poultry ovel
