AFL Plan Seeks
u. 5. Cafeteria
Food PriceCut
Proposal Would End
Splitting Profits
With Treasury

The Government Employees Coun-
Gil (AFD today proposed reductions
in food prices in the 81 cafeterias
operated by Government Services,
Inc, and elimination of the pay
ment to the Treasury of one half
the corporations net profits each
year.
In addition, the council suggested
a study be made which would lead
to operating the cafeterias ION a
fully cooperative basis, with ade-
quate Government employe repre-
sentation, by election, on the Board
OF Trustees" The present board Of
nine members is composed of Gov
ernment officials.
Any "obstructionist tactics to
these proposals, the council said,
should De followed promptly by
steps in the direction of Government
ownership, control and operation.
with provision for an advisory board
of Government employees"
Complete Price Compliance Urged.
The council also urged the OPA
to enforce complete compliance"
with price regulations.
Meanwhile, patrons of the 81
cafeterias will continue to buy hot
dishes following refusal by the Fed
eral Works Agency to allow the op-
orators to institute cold plate menus.
A spokesman for FWA said of
f1cials were studying the entire mat
ter which grew out of dispute be-
tween OPA and the corporation over
the latter's plans to increase food
prices because of a wage increase
to cafeteria workers.
OPA Ready to Act.
OPA said it had not yet received
a formal application for permission
to raise prices either from FWA or
Government Services. The price
agency was standing by, however,
ready to take enforcement action
should higher priced meals be
served.
Cafeteria officials maintain the
corporation has been losing money
since 20 per cent wage increases
went in effect January 2 and that
only a 10 per cent increase in food
prices will keep them out of the
red
Government Services turns over
one-half of its profits to the Treas
ury in lieu of rent for the space
used in Government buildings, while
the other half has been going into
expansion and to Government well
fare societies, according to officials.

0'Conor Will Seek

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Jan 9.-Herbert R.
O'Conor, completing his second term
as Governor Of Maryland, an
nounced his candidacy yesterday for
the Democratic nomination for
United States Senator, thus COM
mitting himself to a primary fight
against Senator Radcliffe
Almost coincidentally. Represen-
tative Sasscer Democrat, of Mary
land who had been mentioned
prominently as a possible candidate
for the gubernatorial nomination,
disclosed that he would not seek
that office.
Mr.. Sasscer said that he will file
for reelection to the House because
Il have become increasingly inter.
ested in the affairs of the House
Naval Affairs Committee during my
four terms in the House"
Welcomes Primary Fight.
Announcing his candidacy, Gov.
O'Conor. a 49-year-old Baltimore
attorney, said he did not think ''it
unfortunate that a primary fight for
the senatorship will result"
Last week Senator Radcliffe said
he was viewing talk about Gov.
O'Conor opposing him "philosophlc-
ally" adding, Il hope to run un-
opposed, but if am opposed I shall
fight
The announcement definitely
cleared the Democratic picture in
Maryland. Gov. O'Conor's possible
role had been the subject of much
speculation He had been men
toned for the governorship. Sena-
torship and a Federal judgeship.
w. Preston Lane, jr., of Hagers-
town, filed for the Democratic
gubernatorial nomination several
weeks ago. After Mr. Sasscer's
statement that he would stay out
of the race Mr.. Lane had been
left apparently unopposed.
Republicans File.
At the same time Paul Robertson
Republican Baltimore City chair
man, announced at Annapolis his
candidacy for the COP nomination
to the United States Senate, and G
Walter Riddleberger, Baltimore
County farmer, filed his certificate
for the Republican senatorial nomi-
nation at the Secretary of States
office.
The two are the first Republicans
to have filed for that office
Mr.. Robertson pledged himself te
devote his "life and energies" to "the
development of a stabilized Ameri.
ca" and of higher standard oi
living.

System Sci
Al District Court for
Greater Efficiency

A move to modernize procedure
of District Court and to improve
the coordination of various legal
units was made late yesterday,
when Chief Justice Bolitha J. Laws
announced that IL associate jus
tices would serve as immediate
supervisors" of agencies of the
court. The jurists also will work
with court-connected groups.
The step taken yesterday evolved
from a resolution proposed by As
sociate Justice David A. Pine at a
general term session of the court
on November 80. The excessive
number Of duties attached to the
chief Justices Office is now ex-
pected to be diminished.
Chief Justice Laws explained the
move would keep "the court more
fully informed as to the status of
every agency connected with it and
have at least one justice conversant
with all agencies ."
Hopes to Save Time.
He expressed the hope the action
would improve procedure, save
"limitless hours" and give organ
izations chance to get their pro-
grams over" and said the move
was "the next best thing in the
absence of an administrator or a
chief justice who devoted all his
time to direction Of the courts"

to bring any problems to their
supervisor" These problems may
range from appeals for new legis-
lation and pleas to expedite cases
to those involving working space,
the jurist pointed out.

port as often as required TO the
justices assigned to supervise them
and receive instructions, especially
in matters involving coordination
of functions and pertaining to ad-
ministrative policy.

THE late Ring Lardner
= wrote the story that still
is repeated when the subject
of autographs is mentioned.
He told how a group of
urchins jumped on the run
ning-bOard of a taxicab in
which he and another sports
writer were leaving the base
ball park after a World Series
game. Their quarry was base
ball heroes, and their am
munition a stub pencil and
torn sheet of paper.
A soiled face peered through
the cabs open window and
the owner surveyed the oc-
cupants with critical eye.
Visibly disappointed at not
seeing a ball player, he leaped
to the pavement shouting:
Jaw, there amt nobody in
there!"
Any Redskin football player
will tell you that bucking the
line of autograph hounds
after a game is as trying and
exhausting as the game itself.
No matter that the players
have engagements. or that
they are tired and aching.
They must take a pencil with
no point, a pen that wouldn't
write when it was new, and
scribble their names on the
back of a program. laundry
ticket. or anything that's
handy.
Washington fans probably
reached the peak of frenzy
after the 1887 game with the
New York Giants at the Polo
Grounds, in which the Red
skins won the Eastern cham
pionship. They tore down
both goalposts, which had
been wrapped in canvas of
the rival teams colors. The
Washington posts were divid-
ed among hundreds of fans,
who promptly set about get
ting autographs for every
splinter.
One thoughtful person sent
a large piece of the goalpost
to Mrs. George Preston
Marshall, wife of the clubs
president. She ingeniously
designed a lamp which is still
a treasure piece of bric-a-
brac at the wigwam. Oh, yes,
she made sure it was duly
autographed by the players.
Most sought after victims of
the pen and pencil set are
the players whose names hit
the headlines with clocklike
regularity. Quite naturally,

the backs are best known,
and the leader of them all is
Slingin' Sammy Baugh.
In 194l, Green Bay came
here for the final home game
of the Redskin season and,
after trailing ITO at the half,
rallied to win a 21-17 victory
Hero of the day was Don
HutSon, who caught three
touchdown passes to win the
game and hang up a new
,all-time league scoring record.
The defeat was WaShington'S
fifth of the year, winding up
the Tribes most disastrous
season. But after the game
Hutson was delayed Is min

Baugh was hemmed in an
hour and a half by admirers.
An escort of three policemen
was needed to get him into
the dressing room.
In 1943 and 1914, at San
Diego, the Texan fingered
more than an hour after eX-
hibition games to sign pro-
grams for injured sailors and
Marines from the naval hos
pital.

Dick Todd is another favor

Barber rated high on the
autograph list and Ernie
Pinckert was another much
sought-after player. 1t isn't
necessarily the star of the
game whom the fans seek out
A good play one Sunday will
be remembered a month later
by somebody who possibly
couldn't get close enough to
the player after the game to
shove the pencil and pad
into his hands.
The Redskins still get a
chuckle out of the big tackle
who had just emerged from
a siege of bill collectors with
the bank account in weakened
