Although this is regarded as the
off season for poultry production,
most observers agreed the Wash
ington area was blessed with a bet
ter-than-usual Crop" which soon
will make its weight felt on the din
ner table. They said the District
should be supplied with normal pre-
war stocks in a surprisingly short
time.
Announcement Of the Army's plan
henceforth to obtain poultry in the
open market came too late to pro-
vide an ample civilian larder this
week, one observer said. The de-
mand also was greater than the
supply because many persons have
run short on red points and have
turned to poultry instead Of meat,

Police AIerted
| As D. C.. Traffic
| Accidents Mount

An increase of traffic accidents
since the end of gasoline rationing
today caused Acting Police Supt.
Harvey G. Callahan to issue mem-
orandum order to all commanding
officers, putting them on the alert
for violations and correcting haz-
ardous conditions.
Serious accidents have shown no
marked increase, police observers
said, but there has been great in
crease in reports of minor accidents,
bent tenders, broken bumpers and
other property damage to vehicles
since the limitations on gasoline
were taken off.
The good weather that has pre-.
vailed since the increase in motor
traffic has contributed to keeping
down personal injuries, it was said,
but these may show a great increase
in stormy weather expected in the
fall and winter.

Camera Offered Thief
# He Returns Stolen One

If the person who stole Paul C..
Chicarell's 35-mm. camera from his
car parked near Sixteenth and K
streets Tuesday night will kindly
return it to his home in Rockville,
Md, Mr.. Chicarell will gladly give
him another one.
Mr.. Chicarell's novel offer was
based on two reasons, he said today.
First, there were films in the CAM
era just used f-r taking pictures of
his 8-year-old twins, Paul Charles
and Mary Madolyn, and he priced
them for sentimental reasons. Also,
Mr.. Chicarell pleaded, he needed the
camera for his landscape gardening

The Army is high In its praise of
DDT, but Medical Corps officers en-
phasized it is not a panacea. Ex-
planning DDT is toxic agent, the
Medical Corps also urged caution in
its use.
Misled on Manufacture.
Apparently, occasional temporary
exposure of the skin to the oil solu-
ton is not harmful, the Medical
Corps found, but prolonged wearing
of oil-soaked clothes may be seri-
GUS.
John E. Donaldson, president of
the District Pharmaceutical Associ-
alton, pointed out in the current
issue of the associations monthly
journal that recent publicity had
led persons to believe that by the
mere purchase of some chemicals
and required apparatus and by fol-
lowing few simple directions, they
can quite easily produce their own
chemical DDT" while at the same
time there exists IAN element of
danger"
Amplifying that statement today,
Mr.. Donaldson said:
II was referring to the poisonous
nature of the compounds used in
the manufacture of DDT, and also
the poisonous nature of the finished
product unless it is used properly.
II certainly would not suggest
that any one should make it in the
home unless he had ample training.
1t is not nearly so simple as it has
been made to sound, and it does en-
tail danger"
Despite use OF several million
pounds of DDT by the armed serv-
ices and the Public Health Service,
knowledge of practical uses to which
it can be put is far from complete,
the Bureau of Entomology and Plant
Quarantine points out.
DOT is harmful to honeybees and
to other beneficial insects, the bu-
reau warns. 1t may interfere with
PSAAaAAooAoii Va hlPOl tdIlt lOOu VI
seed crop plants. It may destroy
beneficial insect parasites and pred
ators that ordinarily keep pests un-
der control.
Also, the entomologists say, it is
highly toxic to fish. Studies are be-
ing made as to its effect on wildlife.
Insect feeding birds have been killed
by it under certain conditions. No
effective way of removing DDT resi-
dues from plants or produce has been
worked out, and this affords another
danger.
At present, entomologists won't
recommend DDT insecticides for use
on grain, forage or other crops to be
fed to animals because of possible
Ill effects. Care must be taken to
avoid residues on fruits and edible
plants.

Navy Unable
.ToChange Over
To 40 Hours
Present Schedule
Nay Be Retoined
Until December

The 10000 Navy Department en-
ployes here will continue indefi-
nitely on 44-hour work week, prob
ably until December. 1t was learned
today.
Navy spokesmen said the depart
ment was unable to join the rest
of the Federal agencies switching
to 40-hour week because its work
load had not materially decreased
since the end of the war. When
President Truman last week ordered
Government agencies on 4o-hour
week, he said those agencies whose
operations would be hampered by
such a move could claim exemption
from the order.
Hours probably could be cut If
the Navy could hire more workers.
1t was said, but a rider on this
years appropriation bill limits the
number of civilian employees the
Navy may engage.
Another survey will be taken by
the Navy in October to determine
if a 40-hour week could be put in
effect then. The Navy has ordered
all its navy yards on a 40-hour week.
The Veterans Administration, an
other agency that reports it does
not have sufficient number of en-
ploycs to take care of its work load,
will remain on 48-hour week until
November 4, when it will 60 on a
44-hour week.
Gen. Omar Bradley, veterans ad-
ministrator. said hours would be
reduced to peacetime basis as
soon as enough employees are OBJ
tanned.
Yesterday the State and Labor
Departments, the Social Security
Board, the War Production Board
and the Federal Reserve Board an
nounced they would go on a 40-hour
week effective this week. About
$4,000 workers in those agencies are
affected by the order. They will
get a three-day Labor Day holiday.

Auto Tire ALLEGATION
For September Cut

September's ALLEGATION of new
passenger tires for the District will
be 8,134, nearly 200 less than August
the Office of Price Administration
announced last night in the face of
increased demands for requirements
resulting from the end of gasoline
rationing. Q
For the Nation as a whole, OPA
has allotted 2,5O0,0OO tires during
September, approximately the same
as this month.
The only important change for the
month is an increase of 10000
smaller size truck and bus tires but
with a corresponding decrease in
the supply of larger size commercial
tires.
OPA still holds out hope, however
for an improvement in tire supplies
and an end of rationing "in a few
months"
Meantime, with B and c ration
books no longer in use, the OPA
will issue tire applications on the
basis of occupational needs. First
preference Is given cars used for
vital civilian services and those op-
Grating at high speed to answer
emergency calls.
Second preference goes to passen-
ger cars needed for essential services
and third to those applicants per-
forming services for essential estab-
llshments. Ration boards may issue
up to S per cent of certificates to
motorists engaged in nonoccupa-
tional driving 'in cases of severe
hardship"
The OPA observed that the end
of gasoline rationing has resulted
In more driving by millions of mo-
torlsts and an unprecedented num-
ber of applications for new tires"
1t is essential, the agency added,
that first chance at tires be given
persons performing the most vital
services.
