District Will Receive
.$2,974,602 Federal
Funds for Highways

The District will receive $2,974,-
602 IN Federal highway aid grants
for the second year, beginning July
/, OF a three-year postwar highway
construction program.
The ALLEGATION was announced
yesterday by the Federal Works
Agency, which divided s500,0 900
among the 48 States, Puerto Rico,
Hawaii and the District. The Ma
tion-wide three-year program au-
thorized by the. Federal Aid High
way Act of 1914 will eventually total
81 SOC, 900 900.
Under the terms of the act,s the
District must match its Federal
share with an equal amount of It's
own money, it was said.
t Three Categorfes, t 49,
The Federal funds must be spent
In three categories-$1, 096 ,875 for
the primary highway system, $751;
$50 for secondary and feeder roads
and $l,l46,477 for urban roads and
projects.
Big construction items here under
the second-year ALLEGATION include
completion Of the K street ele-
waited, which was due to start this
year; beginning of the Dupont
Circle underpass and construction
OF a highway bridge across the
Potomac.
In the primary road network
paving Is planned for Alabama ave-
nue. and Bowen street Sc. and
along Alabama avenue from Twelfth
to Twenty first street Sc.
In the secondary and feeder road
group paving Is scheduled for Riggs
road NE, Sheriff road NE, Forty
ninth street NE, Weaver place
NV, Eastern avenue NE. and
Porter street NV.
Virginia Gets $8,794,356.
District highways officials said
these projects can now be "pro-
grammed" with the Federal Works
Agency for approval of the specific
items.
In the nearby States, Virginia
was allocated a total of $8,794, 1856
AOA tAiC eiACC CdUCSO1lcS dIlu MARY
land received $4,800,2l3.
Neither the Virginia State High
way Commission nor the Maryland
State Roads Commission has pro-
grammed specific projects under this
second "installment."
The Virginia agency does not ex-
pect to have the projects listed un-
til this fall. They will be included
in the 1918 construction year.
Maryland officials said its share
will be integrated in its overall
roadbuilding program already an
nounced.
The third and final $50, 0OO, 900 is
due to be distributed to become
available July /, 1947.
Highway officials said the pro-
gram was developed with the idea
that the highway industry, needing
no particular retooling, could most
easily absorb the flood of labor ex-
pected from rehabilitation of the
military and reconyersion of the
country'S industrial forces.

OF the cost of operation should con-

Gated it no longer wishes to con-
tinue this support after June 30.

.15-Cent Pay Increase
For Dairy Workers
Asked by Distributors

Wage Sterilization Board approval
Of 15-cent hourly wage increase
for 1882 dairy employees has been
asked by II Of the IL dairy distribu-
tors of the Washington area.
Filed jointly by the distributors
yesterday as the result of extended
negotiations between companies and
the union, the pay raise application
claimed 500 delivery and plant work.
ers needed the boost ito meet liv-
ing adjustments" The remaining
number of employees would come
under the INCREASE as fringe" or
"sub-standard" adjustment cases.
1t was cited that more than third
of the 1852 employees involved have
not received the 1878 per cent boost
over the January, 1941, wage level
allowed by the Sterilization Board.
The average straight time hourly
earnings of dairy workers have been
raised from 81 cents to 80 cents
since January, 1941.
Application to OPA for increased
prices on dairy products is expected
to be made shortly after the
sterilization board decision on the
wage request, expected within two
weeks.
Meanwhile prospects for a shorter
supply of milk for the Metropolitan
Area were heightened when B. B
Derrick, secretary treasurer of the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Milk Producers
Association, yesterday revealed be-
fore the Senate Agriculture Com
mittee that he had been authorized
to divert our milk to other mar
kets" if OPA price controls were
not relaxed.
Representing farmers supplying
about 80 per cent of local milk, Mr.
IDerricks said OPA ceilings on milk
plus Government subsidies, failed
to give producers a profit, despite
the present insuf11ciency of nearby
dairy products. He added that
higher prices could be obtained In
other markets.

Montgomery County residents face
a further reduction in their beer
consumption as a result of a cut in
the beer quotas of the County Liquor
Control Board.

treasurer, said the latest reduction
brings the curtailment of beer

mately so per cent of the 1912 figure.
Mr.. English explained that the
county quota now is 400 cases of
beer for each 1000 cases purchased
in 1912.

caused by the grain shortage, Mr..
English predicted additional curtail-
ments unless food conditions in Eu-
rope improve. Board officials could
not say how much beer is shipped

Pepco Plan 10 Cut Bills
Of Large Power Users
During Dimout Studied

Large commercial users Of electric
power, whose bills are normally based
on charges against a maximum ode
mand" for power in addition to
meter reading would receive an ad-
justment for their compliance with
the current city dimout under a plan
before the Public Utilities Commits
sion today.
The plan, presented by the Po-
tomac Electric Power Co., would not
affect residential and small COM
mercial users since bills to these
consumers are based on meter read
ings alone, it was explained.
One Per Cent Per Day.
Pepco's plan would allow each
customer a reduction of per cent
per day of dimout in his demand fig
ure used normally for billing pur-
poses. Thus for month of dimout,
a large customer would pay a bill
computed against a normal demand
reduced 80 per cent or TO per cent
OF the normal demand.
Pepco officials said the Federal
Government, large department stores
and office buildings would be the
main benef1ciaries under the plan
They said it did not take into con-
sideration reductions these consum-
ers may have imposed on themselves
during the dimout but is based on an
average. Thus the consumer who
may have curtailed his usage more
than 80 per cent per dimout day
would receive the same adjustment
as the consumer who cut down less,
However, for those who pay tie
demand" charges, any curtailment
in use of power would be reflected in
lower meter readings as well as
through the application of the Pepco
demand adjustment plan, 1t was said
May Act on Plan Today.
The Utilities Commission is ex.
pected to act on the proposal today
Because of substantial voluntary re-
auctions in Maryland, Pepco is re-
questing approval of the MARYLAND
Public Service Commission of a SIM
liar plan.
An additional feature of the Pepco
plan would waive charges normally
assessed against consumers operat-
ing their own power generating
equipment, since such consumers
were asked to put their equipment
into operation during the dimout
These charges are known as stand
by charges and are in the nature
OF retainer fee, itwas explained.
The. city dimout was ordered by
the Commissioners May 4 to con-
serve the shrinking Pepco coal re-
serve during the strike of the soft
coal miners.
Months Supply in Sight.
Z With 1000 or $4,000 tons of coal
on hand or in the yeards, and 5000
or 5000 tons promised by Solid
Fuels Administration, Pepco can
operate with help of the dimout
until the middle of June, j. p
Ferry, vice president and general
manager, said.
the company now is negotiating
with regular contractors for more
coal within limitations fixed by STA
and possibly will be able TO extend
the maximum operating date under
strike conditions beyond the middle
OF June, Mr.. Ferry said.
AS the District completed two
weeks OF dimout today, Mr.. Ferry
said the power saving yesterday
was 20 per cent, 10 per cent under
the figure the company hoped to
attain.

Arnall Proposed As Attorney General

CHICAGO (FP)-Ellis Arnall, progressive governor of Georgia who was forbidden by law to succeed him self, is proposed as federal attorney general, in line with the Roosevelt tra- dition, by Director Ira Latimer of the Chicago Civil Liberties Committee. Latimer reviews Pres. Truman's pres ent attorney general, Tom C. Clark, and finds him lined up with southern reaction.
 ''Arnan would end the fascist conspiracy of the Ku Klux Klan," Latimer argues, ''and enforce the U. s. supreme court decision out lawing the white primary. Arnan follows the lead of Justice Black, Sen. Pepper, of Presidents Jeffer- son and JacksOn-nOt of BilbO and O'Daniel, Judge Lynch and Huey Long,"
 Arnall's term as governor of Geor- gia expires in December, when he will be succeeded by the notorious "white- supremacy" rabble-rouser, former Gov. Eugene Talmage, who boasts that he has read Hitler's Mein Kampf seven times.
