D. T.. Milk Market 10
Outside Producers
DR.. RuhIond's Warning
Of Acute Shortage This
Winter Brings Action

Health Officer George c. Ruh-
land warned the Commissioners
today that Washington is threat
ened with a milk shortage ex-
pected to extend to next Febru-
ary /, and received immediate
authorization from the Commits
sioners to permit importation
into the District of milk from
areas outside his supervision.
The Commissioners order threw
the Capital open to milk imports
from areas outside of its regular
mlkshed. provided that such milk
and cream be certified by the re-
spective State Boards of Health as
complying with State requirements
as to quality"
Some States. however, have less
stringent regulations on milk quail
ity than does the District, it was
pointed out.
Milk Imported in Past Years.
This importation of milk is not
unusual, according to dairy officials
here, and has been done in past
years. They explained that in the
fall, milk production normally falls
off as the herds go from green
pasture to winter feed. Dry weather
also is partly to blame, they said.
Last Saturday Bruce B. Derrick,
secretary-treasurer of the Maryland
and Virginia Milk Producers Asso-
citation, said during an appearance
before the Virginia Milk Commission
that high costs of feed and labor
were responsible for lowering milk
production. He asked the commits
sion for an increase of 461a cents
per 100 pounds in wholesale milk
prices by November l.
This would drive the cost of a
quart Of milk from 1912 cents up to
81 cents, dairy officials predicted,
Adding that the Increased cost would
be passed on to the consumer.
Prices Controlled in Virginia.
Although the Virginia area is the
only one with controlled prices,
Maryland areas undoubtedly would
follow suit in any wholesale price
rise, officials jointed out.
Today's action stemmed from a
request by DR.. r. R. Ashworth, di-
rector of the Bureau of Food In
spection, who accompanied DR..
Rutland at his conference with the
Commissioners.
The war emergency years saw i'm
portation of such milk and cream
shipments to the District. DR.. Ruhl-
and wrote in a memorandum to the
Commissioners. He added:
1T is the judgment of this de-
partment that like authorization
should be granted by the Commits
sioners for the time of the antici-
pated milk shortage, which is esti-
mated to extend to February, l948."

Gambling Probe Hears
Arlington Man Whose
Complaint Led 10 Raid
Witness Had Reported
Threats; Judge. Warns
Dueon on Contempt

w, r. Smith, Arlington news
stand operator whose complaint
resulted in a gambling raid, was
the first witness called today as
an Arlington County grand jury
resumed investigation of reports
of a possible connection be-
tween police and gamblers.
The newsstand operator spent
more than an hour in the grand jury
room. The second witness called
was F. Freeland Chew, member of
the County Board. Mr.. Chew was
closeted with the jury only short
time before recess for lunch was
declared.
Mr.. Smith, a former county po-
liceman, is one of II witnesses sum-
moned to testify. He Is one Of four
persons who have complained to
police that they received anonymous
threats warning them to keep
quiet"
The raid Thursday resulted in the
arrest of Russell (Peanuts) Scheele,
AZ, who is scheduled to face trial to-
morrow in County Court on charges
of operating a lottery and taking
bets on horses.
Outlines His Testimony.
After leaving the grand jury room
Mr.. Smith outlined to reporters the
evidence he had given which led to
his belief that policeman had Con-
nections" with Scheele.
Some time ago. Mr.. Smith said he
told the jury. Scheele asked him
why he permitted a certain man to
loiter around his newsstand. Mr..
Smith said Scheele told him he
should not take out warrant
against the "loiterer" until police
man, then on vacation, returned.
Mr.. Smith said he suggested that
the grand jury call another county
resident whom he believed to be
liaison man between a gambler and
police. He also suggested the jury
examine all gambling arrest records
for the last five years to determine
whether those arrested had been
writing numbers for the same indi-
vidual and whether the arrests we're
made by the policeman he previously
had named to the jury.
The grand jury convened this
morning before Judge Walter T..
Mccarthy in Circuit Court, and
again received instructions regard
ing Testimony of witnesses which
the judge first gave Monday before
the jury recessed.
May Be Required to Testify.
The judge pointed out that a wit
ness cannot subsequently be prose-
cuted for testifying he gave or
received a bribe. He pointed out,
however, that this provision of the
law does not apply to proceedings

Controls Reimposed
On Malt Exports 10
Help Save Grain
Food Committee Rulings
Due Soon on DistiIIery
Shutdown, Poultry Day
BY the Associoted Press

The Commerce Department
said today that controls will be
restored tomorrow on shipments
of malt abroad.
The move is a step in the Gov
ernment program to channel more
grain to Europe in its food-savine
campaign.
Shipments of malt in transit, on
docks, in box cars or in ships be-
fore tomorrow will not be affected
On shipments not yet started a
license will be required to ship
malt out of the country beginning
Friday.
The action was taken as the Citi.
zens' Food Committee wrestled with
attacks on the proposed 60-day dis
tillery shutdown and on continu.
ance Of poultryless Thursdays
These are two major phases Of the
food conservation drive.
The AFL Distillery Workers
Union is seeking to block the dis
tilling industry shutdown scheduled
to begin Saturday.
Poultrymen say the appeal to
eat no poultry on Thursdays is un-
necessary and inadvisable in view
of large flocks of fowl and cold stor-
age birds on hand
There was no indication when
Committee Chairman Charles Luck
man would announce a final decision
on either.
Appeals for support.
He appealed, meanwhile, for the
support of every American in the
campaign to save 100,0OO,000 bushels
of grain for Western Europe.
In a Nation wide broadcast yes
terday to the Mayors of cities all
over the country, asking them to
set up local conservation commit
tees. Mr.. Luckman declared:
"The people of Western Europe
face a winter of want and hunger
which 1t Is almost impossible for
most Americans to visualize.
The people of key countries of
Western Europe are in desperate
need of wheat for bread to take
them through this coming winter"
That wheat can come only if
American agriculture, industry and
the consumers generally give their
full cooperation to the drive, he
said.
