District Government
Would Slaughter Own
Beef Under New Plan

Confronted with q refusal of the
National ONCE Of Price Administra-
ton to increase the beef quota of
an Iowa packing company to COL
ored wholesalers by 5000 pounds a
week to meet the needs of District
hospitals and institutions, city Of
ficials are discussing with the War
Food Administration the possibility
of slaughtering animals at Lorton
Reformatory.
Roland M. Brennan, District pur-
chasing officer, reported yesterday
to the Commissioners that hospi-
tails and institutions would be short
about 1000 pounds of beef a week.
The Dubuque Packing Co. of Du-
buque, Iowa, he said, is willing to
furnish, through Sam Mirman and
Paul Riddlemoser OF a local whole
sale firm, 5000 pounds of fresh beef
cuts per week If the OPA would
authorize the packing firm to in
crease its quota on boneless beef.
Mr.. Brennan said he was informed
at OPA that this could not be al
lowed.
Requirements to Meet.
Mr.. Brennan said he met Friday
with VIA and penal institution
officials ito ascertain the legal re-
quirements for setting up at Lorton
project embracing the purchasing
slaughtering ard delivery to District
hospitals, and institutions of beef
supplies by the purchase of live
stock in Virginia.
This project has not been suf-
ficiently developed for presenta-
tion," Mr.. Brennan informed the
Commissioners. There are certain
requirements of the Federal meat
inspection law which must be COM
piled with, and a slaughtering liz
cense is required from the VIA.
IF the District is unable to obtain
sufficient meat supplies. it will be
necessary to purchase livestock to
fill our beef requirements" Mr..
Brennan warned, adding, 1T is a
foregone conclusion that costs will
be much higher under such plan.
Gained Extra Supplies.
1--WE have been making every ef-
fort to overcome the shortage by
purchasing other types of meats and
we have been successful on one or
two occasions in obtaining an ad-
ditional very limited supply of beef
from the Cudahy Packing Co."
Mr.. Brennan explained that a
procurement division contract with
Swift and Co. for District and Ger
tain Federal institutions provided a
limit of not more than $500 pounds
of fresh beef a week, of which the
Districts share in normal times is
go per cent or 1000 pounds.
Il doubt that we are getting this
Mr.. Brennan said. Our
immediate requirements for beef
for hospitals and institutions of the
District is $3.50 pounds per week.
that Swift and Co. Is able
to furnish under its contract with
the procurement division 1000
pounds of beef per week, We are
still short some 1000 pounds"

Also following tradition, priests
and monks visited thousands of
Rome's dwellings, blessing the peA-
Piles living quarters.
The famed and colorful flower
stands at the foot of the Spanish
steps" in the Piazza di Spagna were
besieged by buyers. Food was far
more plentiful than when the Nazls
were here-although only the pros
porous could afford the fantastic
prices for choice viands displayed
in shop windows.

the Good Friday procession was
revived last night. The procession

an itinerary marked out in the 18th
century by st. Leonard, from Con-
stantine's basilica. where the holy
cross relics are enshrined, to St.

JOB FOR TANkERS

WITH THE 761ST TANK BAT
TALON IN GERMANY, July 80
(ANP) P)-From the beginning of
the combat service of the 761st
Tank battalion, last November,
1914, in France until the cessation
of operations in Austria in May,
Pfc George Malvern, Denisson,
Tex, was the MAN of Cod for this
veteran unit.
1t was over and above his reg
ularly assigned duty on the mess
staff Of the headquarters company,
when he went out on Sundays and
weekdays, holding religious serv-
ices for the members of the battal-
ion, and conducting prayer meet
ings and songfests. 1t was a fitting
need which he supplied, for he was
formerly a student at Tuskegee in
stitute where he was taking a
course leading to theology when he
came to the army in 1941.
It got so that it was a familiar
sight to the tankers when they
looked and saw George with his
Bible, reading comforting passages
to the combat-hardened crewmen
and officers. The 761st had no
chaplain assigned to it.
Pfc. Malvern did the job in
France, Luxembourg, Belgium,
Holland, Germany, and Austria,

and those of Guy Brewer on the
other. Brewer and his associates,
who worked for Adam Clayton
Powell's election to congress, stood
behind Davis while Bruce, who op-
posed Powell, also opposed Davis.
Loughlin's about face on Davis
as a Tammany candidate has been
blamed on District Atty. William

cratic leader said, but he did not
choose to disavow Communist sup

headquarters, assailed the action of
Tammany leaders and charged
them with "red batting" He called
Loughlin's act a "disservice to the
Democratic coalition" He has nev-
er deied being member Of the
Communist party, he said.
Loughlin said that Tammany's
withdrawal was because "Davis is
sued a statement to the effect that
his status as member of the Com
munist Political association, of
which he is a national officer,
would remain unchanged"
