Producers Ordered
To SET Aside 40 Pct.
0fCheddar Cheese
May, June Production
To Help Supply Needs
Of Military and UNRRA
By MoIcolm Lomborne, Jr.

The Agriculture Department
today directed producers of
cheddar cheese to set aside 40
per cent of their May and June
production for military use and
shipment for UNRRA and other
European uses. At the same
time, the department ordered go
per cent of the dry skinned
milk output reserved for mill
tary and relief needs.
Both procurement programs will
continue through August, but the
amount to be taken by the Gov
ernment in July and August will be
announced later, the department
said.
The goal for cheese during the
four months was set at 120, ,OOO, 900
pounds, with 100000 pounds ear
marked for military use and the
remainder for famine-relief pur-
poses. The skinned milk goal is
between 180.000,0O0 and 10000, 900
pounds. This program calls for at
least 100000 pounds for military
services and 135 100000 for UNRRA
other European countries and India
the department said.
Civilian Stock to Decrease.
Civilians should have 600, 1000 ,0OO
pounds of cheese available for do
mestic use this year as against 875,-
100000 pounds in 1945, officials said
The Government halted buying oi
cheese late last summer. Cheddar

Coal Shortage
Threatens Cut
lin Power Here
Pepco Prepares.
To Ask u. S. Aid
As Stocks Run Low

The Potomac Electric Power
Co. is preparing to ask emer-
gency relief from the Solid Fuels
Administration because its coal
supply has dwindled to within
two weeks of exhaustion and no
shipments are in sight from the
strike = ridden bituminous coal
fields, it was learned today.
The Virginia Electric Power Co.,
with several of its plants down to
the To-day mark, already has ap-
pealed to the Solid Fuels Admin
istration for relief.
j. H. Ferry, general manager of
Pepco, said the situation now
affords little hope" and declared
that if coal is not received soon, the
District will be faced with a serious
shortage of power for light and other
vital purposes.
Baltimore Hookup Planned.
Through hookup with the Con-
solidated Gas, Electric Light & Pow
er Co. of Baltimore, Mr.. Ferry said,
it is possible to obtain emergency
power from the waterpower generat-
ing plant at Safe Harbor. Pa. How
ever, he pointed out, scant rainfall
has reduced the potential of that
source.
Washington needs an operating
supply of 260,oO0 to 100000 kilowatts.
said Mr.. Ferry, and at best the
Pennsylvania Baltimore hookup
could provide only 100000 kilowatts.
Under existing regulations, Mr..
Ferry said appeal for emergency coal
allotments can be made only when
the supply has reached the danger
mark OF 10 days. The company is
getting ready to file it's appeal to
the Solid Fuels Agency, he said, be-
cause it sees no prospect of any
shipments soon.
Vepco Supply Diminished.
The Alexandria plant, supplying
current for nearby Virginia commu-
mites, has about two weeks supply
on hand, according to w. G. Gay,
Po2 S1ioo4AlS o6ClAt 1OI FCpCO. I1OW~
ever, he pointed out that the Vepco
system is integrated and that short
supply at any one of the plants
eventually will affect all of the
plants.
Mr.. Ferry said Pepco has not been
reduced to such a low coal supply
since 1884 when labor troubles in
the soft coal fields diminished the
national supply.
Normally, he said, Pepco main
tains coal reserve in its yards here
Of approximately las 900 tons. Now
the supply is about $4,000 to 10000.
Both Mr.. Ferry and Mr.. Gay
pointed out that even if they were
assured coal shipments, the situa-
ton would remain serious because
of an approximate ten-day period
needed to get the coal here and
to the Virginia plants.

Bill 10 Set Up Separate
D. {. Correction Unit
Offered by Hebert
Speed Sought on Measure
Ending Welfare Board
Jurisdiction Over Jail
By Joseph YOUNG

The first legislative step in
the reorganization of the Dis
trict's Jail system was taken
today when Representative
Hebert. Democrat, of Louisiana
introduced a bill in the House to
set up department of correc-
tions under control of the
Commissioners.
Mr.. Hebert, who was chairman of
the special House committee investi-
eating conditions at the District Jail.
said he would seek swift action on
the bill and would ask the full House
District Committee to report the
measure favorably tomorrow, based
on hearings conducted by his sub
committee.
Mr.. Hebert stressed that his bill
was "an emergency measure" de-
signed to Immediately clear up
glaring inadequacies at the Jail
which, If not corrected. could lead to
more escapes
The new department would be
headed by the superintendent of
District penal institutions, who would
be free OF any control by the Board
of Public Welfare, which at pres
ent has jurisdiction over the penal
system. j. Ellis Overlade, warden
of the Terre Haute Und.) Federal
Penitentiary, has been appointed by
the Justice Department to overhaul
the Districts penal setup. He is ex-
pected to arrive either today or to-
morrow.
Mr.. Hebert also made it clear that
long-range program was virtually
needed and said he would ask for
immediate action on his subcommit-
tees recommendation calling TO,
appointment of special committee
to draft new legislation governing
operation of the District penal sys-
tenn.
Appointment of this special com.
mittee is expected to be the first
order OF business when the House
District Committee meets at 1896
am. tomorrow.
AS proposed by the Hebert com
mlttee, the members would include
a member of the House District
Committee, Chief Justice Bolitha J.
Laws of District Court, Federal Pris-
on Director James v. Bennett, Cor
poration Counsel Vernon West and
Welfare Board Chairman Edgar
Morris.
Chairman Mcmillan of the House
committee expressed the hope that
the committee would take swift ac-
tion tomorrow ito get the reorgani-
zation of the Jail system under
way"

Johnson Plans Move
To Halt Senate Action
On Loan 10 Britain
Says Bill Is Subject to
House Vote First as
Revenue Raising Plan
BY the Associated Press

An impending attack thai
could sweep the $3,75O,00O, ,0O(
British loan out of the Senate
without a vote on the bill itsel1
took form today.
Senator johnson, Democrat, ot
Colorado told reporter that within
the next day or two he will move a
point of order, a parliamentary ma
neuver which, if sustained, would
bring Senate consideration of the
loan to an immediate halt.
Senator Johnson said he will con-
tend that the bill under which Con-
gress would approve the financial
arrangements made with the British
is a revenue-raising measure and
under the Constitution. must be ap-
proved by the House before the
Senate can act
Senator Brooks, Republican, OF
Illinois announced he will vote
against the loan, terming it world
wide WPA project that will lower
our American standards Of living
The Illinois Senator, veteran OF
World War I, declared in a pre-
pared speech that he expected to
be called "anti-British."
Il am not pro-British," he said
Il am American and I am proud
of it."
Senator Brooks told his colleagues
he was in good company in op-
posing the loan and said these had
the same views:
Jesse Jones, who loaned more
money than any individual in his
tory; Leo Crowley, able administra-
tor of the Export Import Bank, and
Mr.. (Bernard) Baruch, adviser to
Presidents ="
May Cause Lengthy Debate.
BY custom, Senator Johnson's
point OF order would 60 to a direct
vote of the Senate without ruling
by the presiding officer because a
constitutional question is involved.
The point might, however, be a sub
ject of lengthy debate itself.
This is serious question" Sen
ator Johnson said, land the Senate
will have to decide the matter itself u
AS Senator johnson said he well
knew, some members who have not
been able to decide whether to
support or oppose the loan plan
might find it easy to back a Con-
stitutional point of order that would
pass the loan bill to the House
Most publicly-recorded opponents of
the loan are expected to lineup be-
hind the move.
The Colorado Senator based his
contention that the bill is a revenue
measure on a section under which
the Secretary of the Treasury is
authorized to use as public-debt
transaction not to exceed So, 750, ,0O0,-
900 of the proceeds of any securities

that SO few accumulated any of
their comparatively good wages.
An entirely satisfactory answer
was not received. Some cited the
fact that miners run to large FAM

was the system of company COM
munities, in which the employer
owns the houses, stores, theaters

reason seemed to be that the dam

Senators Add Million
For School BUILDINGS
In District Supply Bill
Defer Action on Jail
Improvement Plans for
Commissioners Report
By Don S. Warren

The prospective total OF the
1947 District supply bill was
pushed upward today by more
than $1,000,000 when the O'mah-
oney subcommittee of the Sen
ate Appropriations Committee
agreed to grant additional funds
for school construction.
At the same time, the group re-
ceived formal proposals by the Board
Of Public Welfare for numerous
structural improvements at the Dis
trict Jail, but deferred action tc
await report from the Commits
sioners.
The jail improvements were amons
recommendations made by the
Hebert Investigating Subcommittee
Of the House District Committee.
O'Mahoney Seeks Increase.
Chairman O'Mahoney yesterday
started a strong drive for the 81
600 900 increase in the $4,000 900
Federal payment toward District
expenses, in the belief this was the
only practical way the District could
substantially meet budget demands
next year.
In announcing decisions to add
additional construction funds to the
school budget today, he said his
subcommitte was seeking to elimi-
nate "at the earliest possible date"
the "deplorable conditions which
cause school children, entitled to
full-time instruction, to have to be
taught in part-time classes.
Removal of this condition, he
said. was given a position of first
priority by his group.
New School Cost Added.
One of the items added to the
House total is $300.000 for beginning
construction of the new Walker
Jones School in the lower Northwest
section. The total authorized cos,
was placed at 100000.
Senator O'Mahoney said this item
was included on representations
made by DR.. Garnet c. Wilkinson
an assistant superintendent OF
schools, who explained to the sub
committee most of the 1000 pupils
on part-time instruction were COL
ored children.
Senator O'Mahoney said the com.
mittee approved this item in the
belief the Walker-Jones school area
and its pupils needed the facilities
more than any other area.
Other school building items ap.
proved by the subcommittee were
for an addition to Taft Junior High
$3l1 900; Logan School, 5000 900; ar
addition to the Anacostia High
School, $685. 800, and for construction
of new elementary school to re.
place the old Cranch-Tyler Schools
$439 500.
Active Support Expected.
Active support is expected to com,
from numerous members of Con.
gress for the immediate $4,000 90,
increase in the Federal payment tt
the District, pending adoption of 6
permanent fiscal formula.
In view of the rising threat of 6
