It was New Year eve and time
for joyous celebration to most, but to
the members of Washington police
force it was just ANOTHER working
highland not a very pleasant one
at that. For instance

pool with my son." 1t. Tolson said.
The pool table was Christmas gift
to his son..
After cruising around the snow
covered streets for some time, the
cruiser stopped at the Willard Hotel.
After a quick look around the
lobby, Sergt. Chapman said it was
about as quiet as he had ever seen
it.
Parties in Suites Discouraged.
One of the managers said the
hotel had tried to discourage private
parties in suites, was offering no
special entertainment, and side
tracked prospective customers load
ed with more bottles than bags.
Walking through the wet street
around the corner to the Washing
ton Hotel, Chapman said it was
not a good night for people to be
out.
Its not such good night for
policemen to be out either" 1t.
Tolson said.
Il guess 1 wasted that quarter I
paid for my shoeShine this after
noon," Sergt. Gayer commented.
AT the Washington, everything
was just as quiet, the only party
scheduled being small dance by
a club which had been coming to
the hotel every New Year eve for
years.
THE members of the club don't
believe in drinking or smoking" one
of the managers informed the po-
licemen. I'VE like them to come
back"
Recalls Last Year.
As the cruiser passed the Carleton
Hotel which had scheduled nothing
special for the evening, Sergt Gaver
recalled New Year eve year ago
when that steel man rented the
whole 10th floor for a party for his
friends"
Every room was a bar" he re-
called. - Z
"I always liked to celebrate New
Years at home with some friends, y

Up in the managers office piano

manager explained. 1--WE couldn't
get it through the inner door and
we had to clear the small ballroom
across the hall for private party y
At the Statler Hotel, things were
normal as the management had
declined to rent out bathrooms for
large parties. The usual entertain
ment was offered in the Embassy
room. &
Night Clubs Packed.
The Club Cairo reported 200 more
reservation requests than could be
handled BY midnight, the place
was packed with patrons wearing
paper hats and blowing horns.
At the Lee Sheraton Hotel, things
were rather quiet, the manager said,
blaming the weather.
"These Republicans have. been
calling me to get them hotel reser-
vations," 1t. Tolson said.

BY midnight, people at night

withered mistletoe was the average
attitude.
All told, police arrested about 70
persons for being drunk, just the
normal catch for a week end. They
said the snow kept the number
down by keeping some people in
doors. One man with little toe

Lower Milk Prices
Seen Possible as
U. 5. Studies Supply

A public hearing will open here
next week under Agriculture De-
partment auspices which may lead
to a price reduction in milk for
Washington consumers.
The department announced yes
terday it had decided to reappraise
the milk price and supply situation
in the entire Northeastern region.
This decision was reached, the
department said, because it had been
advised that supplies of milk in the
region may soon exceed the de-
mand for fluid milk and cream"
The department added that If
evidence shows that the indicated
excess supply would prevent the eco
nomic utilization of cream, then the
Government would suspend prices
which are considered too high, ef-
fective at any future date"
Hearing Date to Be Set.
On the other hand, it continued,
If evidence shows that the increase
would not be substantial or can be
absorbed into fluid channels, action
to reduce prices during January
would not be likely.
The exact time and place Of the
hearing will be announced as soon
as arrangements can be completed.
Announcement the question of
milk prices would be re-examined
follows the launching of two investi-
cations by the Government on al
legged manipulations of the whole.

hearing.
Philadelphia Price Listed.
In another action yesterday, the
department announced that the
producer price of fluid milk in the
Philadelphia market will be MAIN
tanned for January at the December
level of $5.96 100 pounds, pending
reappraisal of all milk prices in the
Northeast under Federal control.
The department said the Phila-
delphia price is approximately in
line with producer prices in other
Northeastern markets.
The Maryland and Virginia Milk
Producers Association, dairy CO.
operative which supplies milk to
Washington, has been on record
since September against any further
price increase for milk. This is
based primarily on a feeling that
any further rise in the retail price
would cut down consumption.
