Oyster industry representatives
are seeking delay of at least nine
months-or until the start of the

eral regulations on sale of raw
oysters.
Industry and State officials from
Maryland, Virginia and other prin-
ciple producing areas at hearings
here have opposed Food and Drug
Administration proposal to establish
uniform grades and definitions OF
oysters and rules governing theiI
handling.
A decision on the matter by Wat
son B. Miller, acting food and drug
administrator, may be Forthcoming
in three or four weeks, a prominent
industry spokesman said. The move
to set up regulations is a continual
ton of a hearing nearly four years
ago when action was postponed be-
cause Of the war.
DR.. Lewis Radcliffe, director oi
the Oyster Institute of North Amer.
lea, and other industry representa-
tives have maintained that condi-
tions have not changed materially
since l941 and argued for a delay
in imposition of regulations.
Representative Bland, Democrat
Of Virginia argued that the pro-
posed rules will prove burdensome
and expensive, curtail production
and increase food shortages"
The Food and Drug Administra-
ton contends that the regulations
are necessary to protect the con-
sumer by defining the oysters size
and by preventing it's adulteratior

sands of workers dismissed from

Lonhom Act Funds
Run Out; Schools
Unable to Continue

Alexandria's five nursery schools
and one day care center, on which
the Federal Government has spent
$85, ,285 of Lanham Act funds since
February, 1943, will close September
30, according to T. c. Williams,
superintendent of schools.
Mr.. Williams said there are no
funds In the Board of Education
account to keep the centers open
when Federal funds no longer are
available, and City Manager Carl
Budwesky said he does not consider
their operation a function of the
city government.
In Mr.. Williams opinion, the CEN
tiers do not justify their cost, which
he estimates at more than $50 a
month per child, especially in view
Of the fact the Alexandria schools
still have no kindergarten and no
eighth grades and are operating the
first and second grades -on a half
day basis.
No Idea of Costs.
He said that the parents, who pay
fees of So week for each child in
the nursery schools, have no idea
of the cost of operation. He said he
doubted If they are prepared to pay
the full cost If the schools were kept
open on a self-supporting basis.
The Alexandria day-care centers
were the first to be opened in either
the Metropolitan Area or the State
Of Virginia, and at the time, the
estimated need was many times
greater than 1t has actually proved
to be, officials said.
At no time has there been a
greater enrolment than 140 in all
OF the centers, including the one
designed for after-school care of
older children. At the present time
the schools have reached a peak

and "a in the day-care group.
One Center May Remain.
Mr.. Williams said mothers of the
children enrolled in the centers are
employed largely at the Naval Tor
pedo Station, with some in Gov
ernment work in Washington, and
he believes that many of them will
be leaving their jobs or will make
arrangements for private care for
their children.
The day-care center, operating at
the Jefferson School is less costly to
run. Mr.. Williams said, and possibly
may be continued on a fee basis if
the need exists. He said that there
