City Heads Plan
Study Of Pleas
For More Police
Northeast Citizens
Protest on Protection
Prompts Action

Northeast citizens protests against
lack Of proper police protection will
be studied by the Commissioners at
their board meeting tomorrow. it
was announced today.
The city heads made the an
nouncement after receipt Of a file
Eof correspondence on the subject
from James. r. Kirkland. counsel
to the Senate District Committee.
He asked them to investigate the
matter and report to the committee.
Mr.. Kirkland sent the Commits
sioners letters of protest from five
civic groups together with a petit
ton signed by more than 10 resi-
dents of the Northeast area.
Woman Severely Beaten.
Complaints centered around the
case of Mrs. Edith F. Butler. 1929
Fitch place NE. She was severely
beaten and robbed of her purse the
night of April 8 while walking near
her home, the letters related.
Lack OF suficient foot patrolmen
ana inadequate street lighting were
cited as reasons for such occurrences.
Organizations lodging complaints
with the Senate committee included
the Northeast Boundary Citizens
Association, Far Northeast Council
and the Capitol View, Central
Northeast and Deanwood Civic
Associations.
Complaints Made Earlier.
While no indication of what the
Commissioners might do was forth.
coming, 1t was recalled at the Dis
trict Building that such complaints
are not new. Residents of the far
northeast area, served by No. II
precinct, have sought added police
protection for number of years.
One solution to the problem was
seen. In the 1948 District budget
now awaiting Congressional action.
A $150,000 item in the Police De-
partment budget would provide an
additional precinct station house at
Forty-second street and Benning
road NE. A similar item was
knocked out of the current budget
by the House Appropriations Com
mittee last year.
A new police precinct in the area
Is the best answer to the COM
plants, Inspector Walter n.
Thomas, acting superintendent Of
police, said. He also pointed out
that No. IL is the largest precinct
in the city.
Inspector Thomas also said that
as many rookie officers as possible
would be assigned to No. II when
the next police class of rs graduates
in eight weeks.

Tobacco Sales Held
To ~ as Growers
Reject Low Prices

The tobacco auction season at
Upper Marlboro got off to a slow
start today as Maryland growers
refused sale after sale of their prod
uct in the towns three warehouses
because of low bids.
OF the nearly 100000 pounds of
tobacco offered for sale at the ware
houses, only an estimated per cent
was actually sold by noon.
Prices varied between low of
Is cents a pound and top price
of 81 cents. One warehouse, the
Marlboro Tobacco Market, finished
its days sales within an hour after
the auction started.
Opinions on Slump Varied.
The majority of the growers
either folded in half the list cards
on top of the tobacco baskets, in
dicating that they were not for sale
today, or rejected sales which were
made on the floor.
A wide difference of opinion ex-
listed between the buyers and the
sellers as to why the Southern
Maryland leaf was not bringing good
prices at the market opening
Growers, asserting their crop is
of exceptionally high quality, COM
planned that buyers are trying to
knock the market average down.
Many buyers, on the other hand,
insisted much of the leaf was not
of the good texture of last years
crop.
3,O00 to 1900 at Sales.
Spokesman for the Department of
Agriculture, however, previously as
serted that the Southern Maryland
tobacco crop of about 40,500 600
pounds, is OF better quality than last
years.
The second Upper Marlboro ware
house, the Planters Market, con-
tinued to sell during the morning
and the third, the Edelen Bros, was
scheduled to begin selling this
afternoon.
Police estimated there were 5000
or 1000 persons in Marlboro today
for the sale.
The Agriculture Departments to-
bacco branch at Baltimore reported
that high-quality smoking grades
averaged So cents a pound at open
ing sales yesterday in Charles
County. This was l cent a pound
less than the opening average last
year.
The department said medium and
lower grades averaged as follows:
Heavy, fair light red, IS cents,
compared with SO cents last year.
Heavy, fair dark red, 54 cents,
compared with Sc cents last year.
Dark red tips, SO cents, compared
with So cents last year.
Other Markets to Resume.
Sales were scheduled to be re-
stunned today at warehouses at Wal
dorf, La Plata and Hughesville.
where the markets were opened
yesterday.
As the Maryland tobacco market
got underway yesterday, almost a
month ahead of schedule because OF
an unusually heavy crop, bidding
was desulatory and growers rejected
as too low most of the bids.
At La Plata, where q high bid OF
So cents q pound was reported, F.
d. Brown, county agent, said the
concensus of growers was that the
lower grades were selling well, but

AuriOl NOminates New French Premier

PARIS, (Fl - Sources close to Frances new president, Vincent Auriol, predicted today he would make every effort to persuade his close friend and felloW-Socialist, Leon Blum, to accept the premier ship of the new cabinet.
 Auriol, elected to office by the two Houses of Parliament yeSter- day, plunged into the task of sounding out the various parties as to whether they would accept the interim cabinet of Blum and upon what terms.
 The new president scheduled conferences with two leaders of the French Communist party, Jacques Duclos and Maurice Thor ez, both reported willing to enter the Blum coalition cabinet if they get certain posts. Observers say the Communists will seek the for eign ministry.
 Blum, however, was reported not eager to accept the premier soIp. He is "A and his health is not good. The last of Frances four post war president-premeirs, Blum formally resigned last night, shortly after returning fom Lon don, where he had conferred with British leaders on a future French British alliance.
 Auriol had hoped to nominate the veteran socialist leader in the next three days.
 Under the French constitution, the president is required to nom- mate a premier who then drafts T program which he submits to the national assembly - Parliament's lower house. If the assembly ap- proves the nominees policies, he then sets about choosing men for his cabinet posts.

Army And Navy Agree To Plan
 For UnificatiOn

WASHINGTON, (P)-The army and navy high command, agreed on a plan for notification, today promised cooperation and greater efficiency. Secretary of war Pat terson, Secretary of the Navy For restal, Adm. Chester w. Nimitz, and Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower gave their Wholehearted endorse ment to the new plan.
 They spoke to a crowded news conference in the White House movie theater.
 Then they turned the meeting over to experts to go into details. But, for the most part, the plan. announced by President Truman last night, remained only a gener- al proposition, with the chinks to be filled in later. Congress will have big hand in that.
 Admiral Nimitz said he consid- CTS the plan a definite and sub stantial forward step and l shall support it to the best of my abil- ' ity." He said it will enable the services to get together on many ! essential matters and make prog ress.
 General Eisenhower, wearing 9 Florida tan, said he always has de- plored the differences between army and navy officers over
 , ger and now that they had been resolved, he personally will support it with all I have" as a distinctive step forward" The United States, he said, will be the l greater gainer by step of this na- 1 ture.
 During the seminar, President Truman met with his cabinet at their regular Friday session in an other part of the White House. The meeting was largely devoted to discussion of the army-navy uni fication' agreement.
 The plans make no specific pro- vision in themselves for a single purchasing department for all branches of the armed services. But the nature of the setup indi- cates that this is contemplated. The famed Marine Corps will continue unchanged as the tradi- tional amphibious fighting group. But there probably will be greater cooperation, training and develop ment for use of the army, navy

Russia May Seek Huge Loan From United States

LONDON, (P)-British sources predicted today that Russia might seek a five billion dollar loan from the United States as the price for scaling down separations claims on Germany-one of the thorniest issues facing the deputy foreign ministers drafting German and Austrian peace treaties.
 The influential London Econo- mist, terming reparations "the crux of the whole matter" said the key to a German settlement might lie in a U. s. loan to Rus Sia.
 ''The Russians have asked for $1O,OOO, O,OO0,O00 worth of repara- tions from Germany" the paper said, "but the certainty of half that figure in dollars now would be of infinitely greater economic value.
 Prime Minister Stalin has on two occasions recently referred to Russia's need for an American loan. The whole atmosphere of the coming Moscow conference might be changed if successful loan ne- gotiations had already been com pleted in Washington"
 Commenting on the heavy cost of occupation and asserting that notification of Germany would cut those expenditures, the Economist added that Russian demands seem to Russians to be justified many times over and it would in deed be a remarkable situation if dollars could be found for a de- feated aggressor but not for devastated ally"
 Australia apparently lost her ap- peal for active participation by the Little Nations" in discussing the German and Austrian treaties. Feodor T. Gousev, Russian deputy foreign minister, insisted that the smaller nations appear before the deputies council only when pre- senting their own treaty proposals.
 The United States, Britain and France apepared to have dropped their earlier support of the Aus tralian proposal.
