Poultry Dealers
Seek Relief
Monopoly
Meet With Anderson
To Ask Revision
Of Distribution Plan

Retail poultry dealers from New
York, New Jersey, Delaware, Mary
land and the District of Columbia
were scheduled to meet with Secre-
tary of Agriculture Anderson this
afternoon to discuss ways OF halting
what they call IAN impending mo-
nopoly by poultry professors"
A spokesman for the group ex-
planned that most of the live poultry
for the East comes from the Del
marva Peninsula, which has been
supplying the Army large quantities
of chickens since last December.
Recently, the War Food Admins
tration released 80 per cent of the
areas poultry for civilian consump-
ton. The spokesman said dealers
who had closed their businesses
when the Army took over the supply
expected to receive large quantities
under the relaxation.
This has not materialiZed, he
said, but four professors are receiv-
ing the entire supply and selling it
as dressed poultry. He did not
identify the professors.
This situation is going on all
over the country" he declared. 1T
is our intention to recommend the
creation of Federal agency, which,
together with local committees, will
supervise the distribution OF all
poultry"
He said the group would urge Mr..
Anderson to revise the present
method Of distributing the release
of live poultry, so that retail dealers
will obtain their share.
The Agriculture Department al
ready has under consideration the
extension of its poultry set aside to
virtually all poultry producing areas
in the country, move which would
ease the strain on supplies in the
East.

Fruit, Vegetable Dealers
Urqed 10 Work Six DAYS

Secretary of Agriculture Anderson
today called on workers and dealers
in whole fresh fruit and vegetable
businesses to return to a six-day
week in order to prevent the loss of
food.
He pointed out that most whole
salers are operating on a five-day
week, a condition which brings about
spoilage of fresh commodities that
are held over the week end.
The Secretary pointed out that he
had received a number of appeals
for some action.

Civil Service Reports
On Library Pay Boost
Studied by Officials

District personnel officials today
are studying Civil Service Commits
sion reports on recommendations
of the District Personnel Board for
boosting the annual pay of more
than 135 library employees by an
estimated $4,000.
H. A. McAllister, secretary of the
District Personnel Board, said ii
would take three or four days to
prepare a report to the Commits
sioners on the action of the COM
mission. He said a preliminary
check indicated the Civil Service
Commission had lowered some and
raised others of the recommenda-
tions of the Personnel Board.
Mr.. McAllister said it would take
several days, however, to estimate
the cost to the District of the new
civil service grades. These will be
submitted to the Commissioners for
their approval of the increased pay
ments.
Position Being Surveyed.
Mr.. McAllister said the employees
involved are those in the Central
Library, the general administrative
workers and those in the Ford
Building handling acquisition work
including cataloguing and binding
A survey of positions to determine
proper salary grades is being made
by the Civil Service Commission
and work is now going forward in
studying the grades of employees IN
the branch libraries.
A library official said it was be-
lieved the Petworth. Mount Pleas
ant and Takoma Libraries already
had been surveyed.
Library officials submitted to the
personnel board their recommends
tions for salary increases. These
were studied by subcommittee OF
the board and their report was ap-
proved by the full board. The Com
missioners approved the boards
action on June 20 and the recon-
mendations we're then submitted to
the Civil Service Commission.
Pay raises recommended by library
officials ranged from $40 year to
S., 700. Some of these recommended
tions of the library were sliced by
the Personnel Board or eliminated
entirely.
Started in February, 1914.
The survey, according to library
officials. was begun in February
1914. The job descriptions, grades
and salary rates in the public library
had not been reviewed since 1882
The Commissioners authorized a
survey of the entire library person
mel by the Classification Division Of
the Civil Service Commission.
Positions for which the library re-
quested increases were for librari-
ans, library assistants, clerk -typists
secretaries, engineers, laborers ano
chauffers.
The library in its annual report
for 1914 commented that it had be-
come more and more a pre-emi-
nent agency for adult education
and as such it is essential that the
professional staff be thoroughly
competent and experienced"
ITO acquire and hold such a staff
requires salaries commensurate witt
the training and responsibilities in
volved," the report added.

dedicate myself to the effort of

non-Hebrew and non-Jew who
has undertaken this task. But I
believe that this surprise is chief
ly due to the general misunder-
standing of what we have come
to call 'the Jewish problem" "
For it is commonly and universal

the homeless, the enslavement,

called Jewish problem, not as a
Jewish or a Hebrew question, but
as an urgent problem of the Unit

world. do not consider this
problem the most important on
the agenda of the United Ma
tons, but do consider it one OF
the problems which must be on
that agenda. Since America,
through the war, through the At
lantic Charter, and through 9TH
er international relations culmi-
mating in the San Francisco
agreement has become interna-
tional in attitude and interna-
tional in purpose, she cannot and
should not fail at this important
point either.
Until this war broke out, my
interest and my knowledge of
this so-called Jewish problem was
general and vague. I must con-
fess that even in the first years
of the war I shared with other
Americans the skepticism about
the persecution and the extermi-
nation suffered by the Hebrew
people, the truth of which we have
now been forced to believe by in
controvertible evidence 1t did
not seem possible that in this era
of Wanted civilization anyone
could be guilty of the savage bar
barism and of the beStial crimes
that were charged against the
leaders of the fascist countries.
We have now learned that the
facts brought to our attention
were under-stated rather than ex-
aggerated.
Many words of grief, many res
olutions of sympathy, many
speeches of protest have been
made in our own and other coun-
tries. 1 do not for a moment
doubt the sincerity and the noble
which have prompted
them, but I say in all earnestnesS
for Gods sake these people have
suffered enough! Their age-old
and continuous persecution has
ended with a national disaster.
1t is time for action - action
now. 1, for one, am going to
take all the action within my
power and spare no effort. I
shall knock on every door and
go through every channel to see
to it that the action is taken and
taken Immediately.

Europe (and I hope my word
reaches them) ! want to say this:
Do not despair; do not believe the
world is all darkness; humanity
IS not dead, and the human soul
is not all base. The people of this

The postal system of Germany
was one of the casualties of the war;.
1t probably had perished before the
invading Allies occupied the former

soon after the capitulation of the

individual outside the occupied zones.
Only within the limits of single CONS

Notes

Keep off the lawn. Even
though it is frozen, constant
walking across it can ruin the
turf.
If you have leftover ground
limestone, sprinkle it generously
over the rhubarb and asparagus
beds.
In cold weather, birds need
grit to help digest their food. Be
sure the seed you buy for them
contains some.
Be sure to water your house
plants with water of room tenn
perature. They will respond to
such care.
II you cut sprays from ever
green's to use in Christmas deco
rations, use great care. Cut ju-
diciously bit here and there,
keeping in mind all the while
that it is not the proper season
for heavy pruning. Careful cut
ting may improve the shape of
the tree or shrub and at the same
time furnish greens for the
house.
Be careful not to smother
plants with heavy mulch, espe-
cially hollyhocks, peppies and
