Plans for Extended
Cleanup Campaign

With the city's spring cleanup
campaign ofacially getting under
way next week, District officials have
decided to continue the drive until
such time as Washington Is thor
.oughly clean.
This was decided yesterday at a
meeting of the Commissioners Com
mittee on Cleanliness and Santa
tion.
The actual campaign begins Mon
day, when the City Refuse Depart
n1ent begins q block to block system
Of cleaning up No. 9 precinct ter
lFitory. aAs soon as the Refuse De-
partment cleans up q block, its work
ers will be followed by those from
the Health Department Bureau OF
Health Engineering, which will lay
out rat-bait to rid the territory OF
rodents. Unsightly alleys and pub
lie spaces also will. be thoroughly
checked.
Xanten Outlines Schedule.
William A. Xanten, superintend-
ent Of the Refuse Department and
chairman of the committee, told the
group it would take about three
weeks to complete the work in No
9 precinct. No. 10 precinct Is next
on the schedule.
Kirk Miller, chairman OF the
Board of Trade Cleanup Washing
ton" Committee, reminded the Com
niissioners' Committee the Board OF
Trade will begin its cleanup drive
at the same time.
'sThe work Of cleaning up the city
should be a continuing program,
Mr.. Miller told the committee. "It
is not a one-day or one-week job
but q continuing one. The principal
objective of the Board of Trade will
be educational and publicity, and
we intend to put on a more inten-
sive campaign next year, with the
experience. we will get this year."
Mr.. Xanten explained the men,
bers Of his committee will be called
on by the Board Of Trade to help in
the promotion campaign by fur
nishing speakers for radio programs
and getting publicity into the news
papers.
Owners to Be Contacted.
It was decided to ask the Health
Department to get the names OF
owners of vacant property. The
names of owners who live In Wash
ington will be turned over to the
Police Department, who will contact
the owners and urge them to clean
up their property. In addition, the
Health Department will send letters
to owners calling their attention to
the fact that the condition Of their
property Is health menace and
asking that they clean it up at once.
The foremen Of the Refuse De-
partment have, for the past several
weeks, been making a list of un-
slightly lots and have divided them
into three classes: Those having
overgrown weeds, those filled with
trash and those having a combina-
ton Of both.
The committee also decided to use
the chemical 2, 4, D to rid open lots,
yards and alleys of weeds. The
Department OF Trees and Parking
believes this chemical will solve the
problem Of weed control here.

Maryland Restriction
On Parkway Bonds
May Cut Federal Aid
By Rudolph Kouffmonn II

Maryland may have Cooked q Gift
horse in the mouth" by failing TO
raise the legal limit on the number
of bonds 1t can issue to buy park
ways in Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties, it was learned
today.
The end Of the 1o47 session the
Legislature failed to pass q bill
which would have allowed the Mary
land National Capital Park and
Plnaning Commission more bonded
Indebtedness to continue buying
stream valleys for parks.
The independent offices appropri-
alton bill, hearings on which are
to start Tuesday, carries 1894 900
in Federal aid which Maryland now
may not be able to get. third
of this parkway money would be an
outright gfft to Maryland. while
the other two thirds would be q
loan covered by bonds.
Grant Makes Statement.
Maj. Gen. u. s.. Grant III, chair
man of the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, said at
the commissions April meeting to-
day that Maryland's failure to In
crease the park debt limit could
have the effect of reducing this item
in the Federal bill.
His statement came after the COM
mission had conferred most of the
morning with Fred w. Tuemmler,
executive officer of the Maryland
commission.
Gen. Grant added, however, that
no one is sure yet whether the re-
duction will have to be made. The
situation will have to be reviewed
thoroughly before hearings start
Tuesday, he said.
Maryland has not yet reached its
present debt limit on park purchases,
but needs higher limit to COM
plete parkways already started as
well as new ones added to its plans
last year.
The new projects include park
ways in the valleys of Paint Branch,
Oxen Run, Little Falls Branch and
Willett Run.
Any delay in purchasing land for
parkways is likely to mean that
costs will rise and the eventual price
be materially more than at present,
officials said.
A new location for that section
of the George Washington Memorial
Parkway intended to run along the
Potomac River from Key Bridge to
Chain Bridge in Virginia was to
be studied by the planners today.
Location Not Specified.
Staff members of the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission declined to say specifically
what the location Is, but they in
dicated it meant the dual roadway
might run on top of the bluffs along
the river in this stretch, rather
than nearer the water level.
Other matters to come before the
commission today were:
The difficulties of the Maryland
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission in getting the Mary
land Legislature to authorize it to
plan for a larger area and extend
its park purchases; proposals to
build an additional Senate Office
Building, location of the Districts
proposed Unemployment Compen-
sation Board Building and the park
and recreation sections of Engi-
neer Commissioner Gordon r.
Young's $228, ,o00, 900 six-year mu-
nicipal improvement program for
the District.

Horan Plans 10 Fiuht
Alcoholic Clinic Here
On Tax Provision

Representative Horan, Republican
OF Washington, plans to go befor.
a Senate committee to oppose tn.
House-approved bill for an alcoholic
clinic here because of its provision
to support the clinic from genera
tax revenues.
He favors the idea of such clinic
it was learned, but believes it shoulc
be supported instead by a tax on the
liquor dealers here. Such specia
tax on dealers was contained in the
original bill, but was stricken or
the House side of the Capitol.
Approved recently by the House
without debate, the measure, spon-
sored by Representative Hebert
Democrat, of Louisiana has been
referred to the Senate District
Committee.
MIR. Horan, it is understood, Is
communicating his opposition to the
tax feature of the present bill to
Senator Cain, Republican, of Wash
ington, a member of the Senate
District Committee.
Hoping to appear before the Sem
ate committee or one of its sub
committees, Mr.. Koran will recon-
mend that the originally proposed
tax on liquor dealers be substituted
for the general revenue levy now
In the bill.
Mr.. Koran, chairman OF the Dis
trict subcommittee of the House Ap-
preparations Committee, takes the
position the levy should be laid on
the liquor business, in line with what
he calls an "old American tradition. u
This tradition, he is prepared to
contend, would place on the group
responsible for q condition the tax
necessary to correct that condition
The measure would establish q
clinic for treatment of alcoholics
in the District. It would authorize
appropriation Of 100000 for the
clinic during the fiscal year begin
ming July /.

10 Workers Lose Jobs
Due 10 Abrogation
|0f Milk Price Pact

Twenty persons comprising the
Office of the Federal Milk Marketing
Administrator here will lose their
jobs as result of termination of
the milk agreement between pro-
ducers and the Agriculture Depart
ment, 1t was learned today.
Washington dairies, at the same
time, will stand to save at least
5000 a month In assessments paid
the marketing Office for salaries and
administrative purposes.
The agreement was ended April
l at the request of majority of
members Of the Maryland and Vir-
ginia Milk Producers Association.
They acted to avert a seasonal de-
cline In producer prices at the time
"a drop which may have brought
retail milk down 1h cents a quart.
The marketing Office, which is
headed by Administrator G. I. Dunn,
now is winding up its operations
and already has laid off several
employees. The entire staff of 90
will have been dismissed by July /,
according to Mr.. Dunn.
While his Office is responsible to
the Secretary of Agriculture for
administering the milk agreement,
none Of the employees is on the
payroll of the Agriculture Depart
ment.
According to q provision Of the
agreement, handlers here paid a
pro rata assessment to the admins
traitors Office OF 2 cents a hundred
pounds for all milk and cream they
received from producers.
On the basis of March figures (the
latest available), this would amount
to monthly saving of $6,505 for
all dairies. AS production and con-
sumption picked up during the flush
season, this figure would increase.
