Battle Over Seating
Of Delegate Brews in
Citizens Federation

The right of the Federation OF
Citizens Association to refuse to
seat any delegate who is found by
it's loyalty committee to be active
in so-called "leftist" organizations
was under question today.
The point arose when Mrs. Sylvia
Wubnig, delegate from the Kalo-
rama Citizens Association, presented
herself as a new delegate Saturday

compared it to the right of the SEN
ate to refuse to seat a member. and
said the action was completely legal.
The committee was guided in con-
sidering loyalty OF members by sub
versive lists" of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation, Mr.. Newell said.
Included on this list of questionable
groups, Mr.. Newell said, are the
League Of Women Shoppers, the
Southern Conference for Human
Welfare. American Youth for De-
mocracy, National Lawyers Guild,
Washington Cooperative Book
Shop and the Washington Com
mittee for Democratic Action and

Safeway Stores Milk
Up 2Cents in Virginia,
Remains Same in D. T..

Lucerne milk, a Safeway Stores
product, went up two cents in Vir-
ginia stores today but remained un-
changed In both the District and
Maryland.
The new Virginia price is 10 cents
a quart with the old 17-cent price
still in effect elsewhere in the metro
politan area, at least for the present,
store spokesman said.
Lucerne is the only one Of the
citys milk producers who thus has
not yet raised its retail prices, fol-
lowing the order Of the Virginia
Milk Commission boosting the cost
in that State.
Cream Prices Rise.
| Cream prices in most dairies went
up today where they had not already
done so by the end of last week.
Safeway said, however. that Lucerne
cream prices are unchanged today
in all stores, including those in Vir-
ginia. The milk commission order
there did not affect cream prices.
The cream increases were cent,
cent and a half or two cents a
half pint.
The large dairies said they were
forced by higher costs to bring their
prices in line with the current Vir-
ginia cream prices. already higher
than those in the District and Mary
land.
Group Meets Today.
Meanwhile, one subcommittee of
the District Citizens Food Con-
servation Committee was to meet
today to discuss possible food saw
ings in District institutions.
The subcommittee on Government
agencies, headed by ]. Thomas Ken
nedy, Superintendent of Weights
Measures and Markets, was to meet
in Mr.. Kennedy's Office In the Mu-
nicipal Center
Those exepcted to attend are: M
K. Madden, St. Elizabeth's Hospital;
Mrs. Eleanor Whitmore, Govern
ment Cafeterias; Preston Smith
National Training School for Boys;
Miss Eva Marks, Gallinger Hospital;
Miss Hazel Firestine, Glenn Dale
Sanatorium; William H. Gould, Dis
trict Penal Institutions; Louis De
Rossi, Home for the Aged and Infirm
and DR.. James Lewald of the Dis
trict Training School. All those in
vited to the meeting, except DR.
Lewald. have direct supervision over
the food at the institutions.
d. C. Higher Than Most Cities.
! Meanwhile. a survey conducted
by the Denver Post showed that
cost of a selected market basket
of goods was higher in Washington
than in almost all cities checked.
For 80 standard items priced the
last day of October, Washingtonians
would pay $15.7S compared to $15.3t
in Los Angeles and 1881 in New
York. In Denver a grocery price
war was the reason given by the
Post for a low total Of 1920 fol-
the same commodities. Regular
prices, however, are still low-$13.93
Cities in the Rocky Mountain
and Great Plains areas generally
were lower than those in the East
the survey showed. Oklahoma City's
figure was 1924 and Cheyenne's
$1541.
Only cities listed with food costs
higher than Washington were Santa
Fe with $1603 and Phoenix with
| $1617

night and the constitutional and
rules amendment committee asked
that her acceptance be postponed
until it could study her credentials.
Her co-delegate, P. S. M. Henderson,
was seated without question.
Clifford H. Newell, past president
of the federation, who instituted
the loyalty investigation OF dele
gates and association members, ex-
planned the committees action as
follows:
"She will not be seated until the
committee has an opportunity to
have a hearing in regards to alleged
activities in organizations consid-
cred by the Federal Bureau of Inves-
tigation as leftist."
Mrs. Wubnig Protests.
Mrs. Wubnig said today that she
is national legislative representa-
tive of the League of Women Shop
pers, an organization which Mr..
Newell said was on the Federal Gov
ernment's questionable" list. She
made strong protest" against the
action of the federation.
In Municipal Court today to tes-
tify against an accused thief, Mrs.
Wubnig told reporters:
II had my pocketbook picked
Saturday by a pickpocket who will
be punished by law, but the gentle
men who attempt to pick my repu-
tation seem to think they can do
so with impunity"
She said that If the federation
can exclude delegates who disagree
with its ideas it ceases to be a
federation representing the citi-
zens of Washington and becomes
private club.
Il was duly elected at the last
meeting of our association with no
dissenting votes" she continued.
Notices were mailed to all members
about the election. Every member
present knew my affiliation and
my point of view.
= Would Attend Hearing.
THE issue involves me as rep
resentative Of the Kalorama Citi-
zens' Association, not as a member
of the League of Women Shoppers, :"
she added.
Mrs. Wubnig said that if the
federation's committee called a
hearing to examine her credentials
she would attend: but only to de-
fend her status as a duly elected
representative of the Kalorama
group and not to defend her per-
sonal opinions.
The newly-elected president of
the federation, John H. Connaugh-
ton, said that Mrs. Wubnig would
be called before committee" some
time prior to the December meeting.
The committee, headed by Ralph H.
Donnelly, then will make recon-
mendation to the federation. which
will be acted on by the delegates,
Mr.. Connaughton added.
This delaying of the seating of
a delegate is power which the
federation has," he commented.
George w. Hodgkins, president of
the Kalorama group and himself a
former member of the federation
committee which requested Mrs.
Wubnig not be seated, stated:
My personal stand is that the
federation has no power to refuse
to seat a duly elected delegate from
a member association"
Mr.. Hodgkins said the matter un-
doubtedly would come up at his as
sociation's meeting next Monday and
said he was in no position to discuss
it further.
Mr.. Newell emphasized the action
Of the Federation committee merely
delayed seating the q pegate." He

to farmers. sailors and fishermen to
know which way the wind was blow
ing In the early days in Washing

could not cross the Potomac If the
wind was contrary, so the church
was glad to have it's architectural

DESTROY FLY-BREEDING
SPOTS NOW, HEALTH
BOARD URGES
Continued from first page)


Board of Health is suggesting that
householders keep their garbage in
covered containers, that the con-
tents of privies be kept under
ground in pits. the building over
the pit screened and the seat COW
ers closed so that flies cannot get
at the excreta. and that manure
piles and other such sources of
fly-breeding should be cleared away
now.
Fly-BOrne Diseases
Diseases that may be carried by
flies include diarrhea and enteritis.
typhoid fever and dysentery. Last
years statistics records show doc
tors. reported IL babies under 2
years. of age as having died from
diarrhea and enteritis, while in
1943 the deaths of 3S were reported
from the same diseases, as we'll as
the deaths of older persons. San
itation methods have improved
since 10 years ago when 20 to 80
deaths were reported every year
from this cause, but there is still
much room for improvement, the
Board points out.
Last year there were only Is
cases of typhoid fever reported in
the state as compared to about 80
cases per year Is years ago. Dysen-
terry. too. has been greatly reduced.
but sanitation must go on every
year if these gains are to be held
Appeal Made
The State Board of Health is
making special appeal to farm
ers, dairies. poultry dressing
plants, slaughter houses. meat mar
kets, restaurants, and fish handlers
that all material in which flies
might breed be cleaned up as soon
as possible before flies really have
Il chance to multiply in it. The
Board reminds that a female fly de-
ppsits a cluster of eggs, each about
as big as a pinhead, and that OF
5 days later they change into wig
Cling maggOts. The maggOts wig
gle down into the manure or othel
refuse and here, in about more
days, they change into full-grOwl
flies, ready to repeat the cycle.
Remember. the Board empha
sizes. in preventing flies you will
also be doing away with grea
nuisance, as well as keeping filtl
from spreading. Flies have rougl
hairy legs and may carry filth from
where they feed in the barnyard o
other dirty places to where human
food is displayed. for sale in pub
lie or prepared to eat at home.
Will you destroy the fly reunion
headquarters near you and hel
reduce the cases and deaths frOr
0y-bOrne. diseases in Delaware?
