Virginia Given
HopeofE Easing
|brownoutRuIes
District Also Advised
Further Restrictions
May Not Be Needed

With the District assured that
more drastic electric power restric-
tions won't be necessary unless q
sudden emergency arises, residents
of nearby Virginia and other parts
of the State were given hope last
night that their stringent brownout
may be eased tomorrow.
A spokesman for the State Corpo-
ration Commission, who refused to
be quoted by name, said he thought
favorable commission action was
likely tomorrow to ease the string
ent electric power curb in nearby
Virginia and the 68 eastern and
northern counties in the State.
He said the commission probably
would modify its order if utility
companies in the affected areas are
assured of adequate supplies of fuel
through the soft-coal strike truce.
At present, 100000 Virginians, in
Guiding those of Alexandria and
Arlington and Fairfax Counties, are
affected by the order limiting oper-
alton of nonessential business to "a
hours Of electricity a week. All
places of amusement have been
closed since Thursday midnight as
the result of being denied electric
current under the order.
Conference Tomorrow.
A conference was called for 10
am. tomorrow by the commission
to consider possible notifications of
the widespread restrictions. Judge
L. Mccarthy Downs, chairman,
called the meeting after a confer
ence yesterday between the COM
mission and officials of the Virginia
Electric & Power Co.
Meanwhile, Washington theaters
and bowling alleys reported a heav-
Ter than usual weekend business as
thousands of nearby Virginia resi-
dents f1ocked into the District look
ing for amusement.
officials of the Potomac Electric
Power Co. said dimout regulations
would continue in the District until
Pepco begins receiving normal ship
ments of the coal required to main
tain its power output.
/ May Rescind Ban.
However, the order banning use
OF electricity in movies, schools,
night clubs, museums and art gal
lerles, which was to have gone into
effect Tuesday, will not be neces-
sary unless new emergency exists,
Pepco officials and the Commits
sioners announced yesterday.
The Commissioners stressed that
it is imperative to continue the
present brownout which reduces the
flow OF current to industrial and
domestic consumers and that DO
lice will continue to exercise Wig
lance in enforcing the order.
! Pepco officials said it will take
from 10 days to two weeks after
mining is resumed before coal will
begin to arrive in the District. For
this reason. it was stressed, con-
sumers must cooperate in conserv-
ing light and power wherever pos
sible.
More drastic brownout measures
at this time have been averted by
; emergency supplies of coal allo-
Gated to Pepco by the Solid Fuels
Administration, and the savings of
coal effected by the dimout, it was
said.

Shaw Charges Move
To Lead PTA Council
Into Political Fight

Lacy Shaw, chairman of the
Democratic State Central Commit
tee for Montgomery County, last
night charged that Leslie M. Able
president of the County Council of
Parent-Teacher Associations, is at
tempting to lead the council into
the current political campaign.
Mr.. Shaw said that on the "in-
slstence" of Mr.. Able, the organiza-
tlon's executive committee has
voted to renew its Endorsement of
three candidates previously selected
by the group for appointment to
the County Board of Education and
to ask Gov. OConor not to name
anyone who is actively engaged in
politics" to succeed Julius P. Stadler,
who resigned from the board re-
Gently to take seat on the Board
OF County Commissioners.
Mr.. Able contended that the
councils action was taken in an ef-
fort to keep county schools out of
politics. He said there have been
many protests to the Governor from
county residents and parent-teacher
groups concerning the appointment
OF any one to the Board of Educa-
ton who is active in politics.
Has Other Allegiences.
"Such person." Mr.. Abbee de-
clared, has other allegiances be-
yond the interests of the students
themselves. We feel that non
partisan Boards of Education are
for the best interests of the chill
dren."
The three candidates indorsed by
the P-TA council are Mrs. Dear
.Dinwoody and Capt. James A
Saunders, U. S. N. ret.), of Chevy
Chase, and Earl L. Williams OF
Gaithersburg.
The committees action was be-
lieved aimed at James w. Gill
Silver Spring, whose appointment
has been recommended to the Gov
ernor by the State Central Com
mittee.
obviously the position of the
Executive Committee of the County
Parent-Teacher Association Council
is declaration against the eligibil-
ity of any active member of either
the Democratic county administra-
ton, the Democratic party or the
Republican party to engage actively
in the improvement of the county
school system as member of the
County Board of Education" MI
Shaw declared. 'The sweeping and
inclusive nature of this general in
dictment cannot be allowed to &c
unchallenged."
Direct Political Move.
Characterizing the action as a
direct political move" Mr.. Shaw
said it was against the long -estab-
lished policy of the Democratic ad-
ministration as we'll as the Nation
wide policy of parent-teacher as
sociations. In taking this position
he said Mr.. Able sis consistently
continuing series of attacks which,
he has made on the Democratic ad-
ministration for the past several
years"
Mr.. Shaw said Mr.. Gill served as
president of the Woodside Ele-
mentary School Parent Teacher
Association in 1887 and 1888 and
that his wife is chairman of the
Membership Committee of the
Montgomery Hills Junior High
School Parent Teacher Association
"As chairman of the Montgomery
County delegation at Annapolis
and as member of the Ways ano
Means Committee of the House OF
Delegates, Mr.. Gill gained compre-
hensive and detailed knowledge o1
both the State and county school,
situation" Mr.. Shaw said.

Fairfax Officials DENY
County Responsibility
For Milk Inspections

Fairfax County officials were
smarting yesterday under criticism
of the county's lack of local health
control measures for retail and
wholesale milk establishment and
over its lack of water control and
the inadequacy of Health Depart
ment personnel.
In report of Metropolitan Area
health and hospital survey, it was
charged that there was no inspec-
ton OF county dairy farms ex-
cept those supplying milk to the
Washington market: that there
were no county regulations requiring
milk sanitation regulations and no
meteorological control, that there
was no control of water supply in
the county, and that the local
Health Department is understaffed.
Replying to the charges, R. NJ
Loughborough, county executive
said there was no necessity for a
local milk cotrol ordinance since all
Virginia dairy farms and retail out
lets are inspected by the State.
Under Health Department.
He said water control also is
under the State Health Depart
ment, as is the personnel of the
county Health Department.
Mr.. Loughborough said the county
has continually appropriated all
funds requested by the State as its
share of the health department. He
said the department is run by the
State entirely.
In other quarters, however, 1t was
stated that local control measures
for milk producers and retailers
should be adopted by the county.
| A spokesman at the Health De-
partment, who said he could not
speak for the department in the
absence of DR.. Thomas Scarlet
newly appointed health officer, said
it was his belief that local milk
control measures should be adopted
He salad THAT while the State
Health Department is supposed to
make period checks of all milk pro-
ducers and retailers, these checks
have been infrequent during the war
because of the departments reduced
personnel.
Board "Powerless."
He said the local Health Depart
ment has had complaints about at
least three small dairies in the
county but has been powerless,
without local legislation, to do any,
thing about them.
In regard to water control, the
spokesman said the Health Depart
ment works under a State law. He
said while water can be controlled
in public places, nothing can be
done about private wells that might
be contaminated.
He said the only reason the situ-
alton in Fairfax County is not
worse than it is is because more
than 80 per cent of the milk pro-
ducers sell on the WASHINGTON
market and are inspected by either
District, Arlington or Alexandria
health inspectors.
In the absence of the health Off
Ger no report was available on the
number of cases of undulant fever
in the county. Dairymen said, how
ever, that the prevalence of Bangs
disease, the disease in cattle which
is transmitted to humans as undu-
liant fever, was very slight.
The dairymen pointed out that
Bangs disease reduces milk produc-
ton in cows affected and that it
would be improbable for dairymen
to retain infected animals in their
herds. 1t was reported that dairy
farmers in the county have in
creased their milk production al
most 850,000 gallons since 1910, al
most all of which was sold on the
Washington market.
