Limited Increase
In Dressed Poultry
Authorized by VIA

The War Food Administration to-
day permitted the release of limited
quantities of dressed poultry to au-
thorized professors in eight broiler-
producing States for distribution in
civilian trade channels
The action is expected to increase
slightly Washington's poultry supply,
according to VIA. Poultry has been
scarce here since late last year, when
VIA ordered a poultry freeze in this
area in order to meet Army require
ments.
Under the new procedure, a weekly
processing goal will be established
for each professor. Those who ex-
coed their goal may retain half of
the excess quantity for distribution
to civilian outlets. Goals will be
based on the estimated processing
capacity of each plant operating on
a 40-hour week, VIA said.
In actual operation, VIA said, the
Quartermaster Corps will determine
the quantity of poultry to be re-
leased.
Any poultry rejected by the Army
for various reasons will be charged
against the excess quantity each
producer would be allowed to release
to civilians.
VIA said the program is expected
to provide professors with incentive
to speed up production and thus
bring the December freeze order to
an earlier termination.
The program affects broiler-pro-
ducing counties in Delaware, Mary
land, Virginia, West Virginia, Geor-
gia, Oklahoma, Missouri and Ark

Medley Indictment
Expected in 7 DAYS

An indictment against Joseph D.
Medley. accused of Staying Mrs
Nancy Boyer in her Sixteenth street
apartment March s, is expected to
be returned by the grand jury to-
morrow or Thursday.
No action in the case will be taken
today, it was learned. However, if
an indictment is to be returned
against the escaped convict, it must
be done by Thursday when the term
of the current grand jury ends.
If an indictment is returned to-
morrow, it is likely the man would
be Aligned in District Court
Thursday morning. If true bill is
brought in on Thursday, the arraign-
ment would probably have to wait
until after the Easter recess.
Assistant United States Attorney
John w. Finely today continued to
work on evidence against the man
who is charged with shooting Mrs.
Boyer after an all-night card party.

that you must have a permit no
matter how small the picnic party.
Easter Monday Rush.
There's only one day in the season
when Miss Mayheld throws up her
hands and picnicking becomes a
free-for-all BY tradition, that day
is Easter Monday, when everybody
seems to get the urge to seek out a
woodland dell and feast under the
sky on hard-boiled eggs, potato
salad. beets. olives, sandwiches, cake
and lemonade. Thus this year, as
before, you can picnic anywhere you
please on Easter Monday without a
permit
A number of picnic grounds close
at 10 pm. and others at midnight,
but the majority can be reserved by
picnic parties for any time, day or
night. Rush days are Saturdays and
Sundays

Tenants Fight
Rent Increase
0f2O to60P Pei.
Examiner Is Told
Many Apartments
Need Repairs

Twenty-Five tenants of a five
story apartment house at 1880
Massachusetts, avenue NV. today
appeared before rent-control
hearing examiner and protested a
yearly increase in rentals they said
would total more than $500 and
range from 20 per cent to go per
cent. The hearing is being held
at the Rent Control Administra-
ton Building, 1740 Massachusetts,
avenue NV.
Among the protestants to the
rent-increase petition of the new
owner, Robert E. Lynch, 821 Fiji
tenth street NV, a former assist
ant District corporation counsel, was
an Army corporal who wore the Air
Medal with two Oak Leaf Clusters.
He said he and his wife, a WAVE,
would be obliged to move in case
the rent was raised from $50 to
SOS, as contemplated by the new
owners petition.
Mr.. Lynch, serving as his own
attorney, explained the arrange
ments of the apartments and their
rental. He said some are in rea-
sonably good state of repair, some
are in relatively good condition and
that few are in bad repair. He
added that he planned to make ad-
ditiOpal rapajrs
Lacks Laundry Facilities.
Questioning by the tenants attor-
ney, Harry Sandman, revealed that
the apartment house has no laundry
facilities, no incinerator, no public
telephone, and that some of the
apartments have "makeshift kitch-
ems"
Mr.. Lynch submitted evidence to
the hearing examiner, Ernest F..
Williams, which Mr.. Lynch said
would show "a substantial rise in
maintenance and operating costs
and expenses since 1941 as well as
substantial capital Improvements"
The soldier-tenant, Corpl James
w. Cuff, jr., 81, who is stationed at
Andrews Field, Camp Springs, Md,
as crew chief mechanic, said he
and his wife couldn't pay the new
s65 rental sought by the owner and
stay within our budget"
Income of Sis Monthly.
His own income and that of his
wife, Yeoman Third Class Airline
Cuff, stationed in the Navy Bureau
of Personnel as typist, totals about
SITS a month. The couple moved
into the apartment they occupy last
June after their marriage in April.
Corpl. Cuff served year in
Alaska and won his decorations for
missions over Attu and Kiska as
aerial gunner. I'D rather not talk
about that and besides it hasn't
anything to do with the rent in
crease" he told reporters.

Bill Converting
Park Police 10
Guards Planned
Measure to Give
Metropolitan Force
Free Hand on Crime

Park Police operating in WASH
tngton would be reduced to the
status of watchmen, with all their
expenses to be paid by the United
States, under the terms of a new
bill planned today by members of
the Police and Fire Subcommittee
of the House District Committee.
Representative Mcmillan, Demo-
crat, Of South Carolina, subcom-
mittee chairman, said Corporation
Counsel Richmond B. Keech would
be asked to prepare bill along
these lines, giving members of the
Metropolitan Police Department a
free hand in dealing with any of =
lenses committed on park properties
Representative Hebert, Democrat,
ofs Louisiana, author of an earlier
bill to abolish the Park Police with
In the District, said the new version
would be introduced as soon as it
Is ready and that he would seek
action on it after the Easter recess
of the House.
Subcommittee members, 1t was
said, were convinced they should
not go so far as to ban entirely
the operation of Park Police within
the District, AS originally planned,
because of the need for watchmenI
to guard public facilities if the
park areas.
But the subcommittee agreed with
Mr.. Hebert, however, it was reported,
that there was no point in main
tanning two separate police forces,
and that the Metropolitan Depart
ment should be able at once, in it's
own right, to take full charge of
any case arising in the parks.
Since such areas are under the
Park Service of the Interior De-
partment, the cost of maintaining
the Waterman service. the group
agreed, should be placed on the
Federal Government
At present IS of the 108 members
of the Park Police force are paid
out of District funds, and the re-
mainder by the United States be-
cause they patrol Federally owned
areas far beyond the District boun-
diaries. The original Hebert bill was
opposed by spokesman for Secretary
of the Interior Ickes, who commended
the original plan would add to
District costs.
