vember although point values
may be lowered.
The Government will save
more than $6,000,000 a month in
subsidies beginning October 81,
the date the butter subsidy to
professors will be dropped, but
consumers on November 8 will
start paying S or 6 cents a pound
more for butter.
There is a possibility, it was
learned today, that the ration value
of butter will be cut from IL to 8
points at the end of this month. The
recent release by the Army of 3d.
600, 600 pounds of butter is believed
to be factor in the suggested re-
duction.
Decision of the Government to
end the butter subsidy was an
nounced yesterday. 1t was made
now when demand for the commod-
itysis still strong enough to maintain
returns to producers and professors, u
the Office of War Mobilization and
Reconversion stated.
Sugar Subsidy Continued.
The subsidy was placed in opera
tion in 1943 as a wartime measure
to increase tagging butter produc-
ton.
Secretary of Agriculture Anderson
has said that all but a few of the
food subsidies, costing around ST.
500, 10000 year, will be discon-
tinued by next July.
They cover such commodities as
meat, flour, some canned vegetables
sugar, milk and other dairy prod
ucts. The sugar subsidy IS one OF
the few expected to continue longer
In starting the move to abandon
the subsidies the Government is ad-
vancing these reasons:
l. The cost of living is beginning
to decline little and is expected
to drop further, barring imitation
Therefore. increases in ceilings fol
commodities from which subsidie.
are dropped will be neutralized BY
price declines for other products.
Production Incentives Eased.
2. Drastic cuts in military fooc
requirements have eased the neee
for production incentives.
Sterilization Director John C
Collet reported the Government ha.
paid s174,691 900 since July |, 1943
when the butter subsidy went intt
effect.
Estimated yearly payments fol
some other subsidized commodities
Meat, $500 ,000,0 900; flour, $190.000 o.

Food officials could not say hov
much retail prices might rise whel
these subsidies are dropped.

Officials al Odds
Over Underpdss
|At Dupont Circle
| Dispute on Sites
For Entrances Delays
| Drafting of PIons

District and Federal officials ap-
parently were in disagreement to-
day over the location of subway en-
frances for the Dupont Circle un.
derpass.
The issue is whether pedestrian
access to the underpass should be
provided in the center of Dupont
Circle, as the District Highway De-
partment proposes, or at bus stops
on the outer. curb of the circle road
way.
The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, supported by
the National Parks Service, wants
to put four kiosks outside the circle,
two for Massachusetts, avenue, one
for New Hampshire avenue and one
for Nineteenth street.
The Planning Commissions posi-.
ton is that putting the kiosks at the
bus stops would provide greater
safety to pedestrians who otherwise
would have to cross Dupont Circle
traffic.
Objections Delay Planning.
Objections of the National Park
Service to locating the subway en-
trance in the center Of Dupont Cir
Gle has held up the progress of plan-
ming this project for some time.
Main objection of the Park Service
is that the circle would be oyerrun
with subway passengers, spelling the
park for recreational purposes.
| Col. Joseph D. Arthur, jr., of the
District Highway Department was
attending the session.
1t was apparent that discussions
this morning got nowhere. However,
it was expected the question would
be decided later today.
The Federal planning officials also
took up the subject of postwar i'm
provements at National Airport to
make 1t comparable to any airport in
this country or in any foreign cap
ital.
Seek Overall Picture.
Their immediate concern, they
explained, is to get an overall pic
ture OF present and future plans for
its development.
After conferring with Manager
Hervey F. Law and visiting the
Gravelly Point area yesterday after
noon, they said they understood
that arrangements are being made
to bring all plans up to date in one
long-ranged program.
The Planning Commission had to
pass on the airport plans before the
war, when provision was made for
six hangers. Any plans for further
4 development, including those in the
current s3,398, 900 program requested
by President Truman, also will have
to be passed on by the commits
sion.
Cost Put at 16 Millions.
For that reason, they visited the
site to study proposed improve
ments in the current program in re-
lationship to projects which Man
ager Law has outlined in a future
program expected to cost between
SIC, ,000, 900 and s20,0o0,oo0
Among other things, planning Of
ficials said, six additional hangers
eventually viii be built. These ad-
ditional hangers and the extension
of the terminal are provided in the
current program already presented
to Congress.
Included in the overall picture for
which the planning officials are
waiting are hotel, garage, shopping
} center, filling stations and new ad-
ministration building for commercial
airlines. This program eventually
will be presented to the Budget
. Bureau in more or less revised form.

Suggestion Revived to Name
"A Cruiser for Washington

A District officer in the United
States Navy who wishes to remain
anonymous has written The Evening
Star suggesting that cruiser be
named for the Nations Capital to
commemorate its outstanding role
in the war effort.
Recalling that one Of America S
newer battleships bears the name
Washington in honor Of the State
of that name, the officer suggested
that the cruiser could be differen-
tiated by calling it either Wash
ington City or Washington, D. C.
The officers suggestion is in line
with one made to the late Secretary
of the Navy Frank B. Knox in
November, 1912, by Commissioner
Guy Mason asking that a warship
be named for this city.
ct is needless to tell YOU" Mr.
Mason wrote, "of the part that the
municipality of the District OF
Columbia has played in all wars
since and including the Civil War
The municipality has been ahead OF
many States in wars engaged in by
the United States. both in volunteers
and through selective service.

some of the States in the amount of

other respects, due, Of course, to its

Limit on Gas
Ends Tonight

Robert K. Thompson. director OF
the District Office of Price Admin.
istration, announced today that the
order which prohibited dealers from
selling gasoline to consumers if the
vehicle had more than a quarter
tank of gasoline, will be lifted at
midnight tonight.
The action was taken following a
meeting of the Gasoline Advisory
Committee of the District OPA and
the Director at which time the con-
sensus indicated gasoline stocks in
the District were large enough to
permit normal rationed purchases.
Mr.. Thompson said the lifting of
the restriction must not be con-
strued to mean there is an easy flow
OF gasoline into the District. He
added that if panic buying re-
suits, there will be no delay in re-
yerting to another order limiting
sales.
The original order limiting gas
oline sales in the District to motor
lists whose gasoline tanks showed
less than quarter of a tank was
issued January T.

miSsioner's letter, that his idea
would be given consideration. Since
the Secretary's death no further &C
ton has been taken.
The naval officer who has renewed
| the suggestion pointed out that SINH
lar but not identical names have in
the past been given different cate
gories of warships. For instance, he
pointed out, until last year the
Nays list included the battleship
!. Oklahoma and now light cruiser
bears the name Oklahoma City.
There are. he wrote, many destroy
ers and destroyer escorts with SINH
lar names. Examples are the Jacob
Jones and the Paul Jones.
In the Nays lexicon, all battle.
ships are named for States, light
cruisers for smaller cities and heavy
cruisers for large cities. Therefore
it is pointed out, the logical class te
represent Washington would be q
heavy cruiser.
Public records show the tremen-
dous contribution made to the pres
ent war effort by Washington. Ac-
cording to Treasury statistics, sales
of War Bonds here. exclusive Of
bank purchases, totaled 5000 ,000, 00(
between May /, 1941 and February
%, 1945. Bank purchases through
December 81, 1914, amounted to $780,
678, 900. Thus some 81 ,430. 900 900 has
been invested by individuals, bust.
ness firms and banks here in wal
financing.
More important. it is estimated
that los, 900 men have gone from
Washington into the Army, Navy

Soldier Meets Girl in Iceland,
And Again in District Store
Brings Her News
OF Husband Who Was
Returned There

A pretty young woman stood be-
hind the cigar and candy counter
in Washington drugstore last
Wednesday, her second day at work,
and looked unbelievingly at a SOL
der, as he said:
Pardon me. but haven't I seen
you before?"
That ordinarily trite approach
actually had some meaning this
time for only recently the soldier
had really talked to the young
woman. Mrs. Osk Bardon, in far
off Reykjavik, the capital of her
native Iceland where he had been
stationed. She had even sold him
candy in a store in which she
worked. And now he was meeting
her again in the Investment Phar-

The soldier then told Mrs. Bar
don, %, that he recently had seen
her husband, Staff Sergt. Orval
Bardon, 81, of Warren, Ohio, now
in Iceland with the military police.
Married in Iceland.
Mrs. BardOn married her nus
band in Reykjavik last July. After
three and one-half years there, he
was sent to America few months
ago and she followed him here by
plane, only to see him returned to
Iceland within a few weeks.
This soldier, whose name I do
not know, told me all about my
husband and how he misses me,
Mrs. Bardon smiled. She is plan
ming to remain here until her hus-
band returns to this country, and
is now living with friend of his
