The occurrence Of epidemic.

cheese in number OF places in the
United States has resulted in regu.
latlons in number of states speci-

that the cheese be aged 60 days

Trees Compete for Life

At the age Of 20 years. the average

l.460 trees on it. At the age of 100
years, the number Of trees is 1874.
Most Of the lost 1,278 trees were
starved out. The most vigorous
trees outgrew and overtopped them,
taking all the direct sunlight that
Douglas fir requires. There also is
competition for water In the soil.

FOOD PRICES STABILITY vs.. SUBSIDY

1t now seems e-barring
some unprotected and unpredict-
able happening-that the total of
American food crops this year,
will far exceed anything in his
tory. On the heels of this develop
ment comes news of heavy rains
and gales in northern E rope
which, it is feared, may seriously
cut harvest which had been eX-
pected to be good.
Thus the prospect of great sur
pluses in the United States meets
the prospect of food deficits in
war damaged urope. In the
European Recovery Administra-
ton there exist the funds to pur-
chase some of those SURPRISES and
the machinery to distribute them
where needed. In the anticipated
magnitude of American harvests
there rests assurance that people
in the United States will still have
plenty to eat-at least as m u h
as they can pay for.
So the net balance comes GU t
on the credit side for the world,
for hopes of peace, for extrica-
ton from the turmoil of despera-
ton which springs from hunger
and want.
Having said all this, it is ap-
propriate to ask next whether
these big crops mean t h a t the
cost of O d for the American
consumer will descend from the
stratosphere. The answer seems
to be: Eventually, yes-if t h e
1850 harvest is also ample. In the
near future, no.
A good deal of the way of that
answer is to be found in piece
of compromise, half-stopgap leg

Warning Given as Court Makes
Parents Pay Offenders Upkeep

Parents of juvenile offenders con-
victed in Prince Georges County in
the future may be ordered to con-
tribute toward the cost Of keeping
their children in State institutions.
Such a warning was issued by
Trial Magistrate Arthur p. Owens,
after a closed County Juvenile Court
hearing at Hyattsville yesterday at
which he directed parents OF five
juveniles to pay $40 month each.
Four OF the offenders, ranging in
age from Is to 16, were sentenced
to the Maryland Training School
for Boys at Loeb Raven, while a
fifth boy, Is, was committed to st.
Mary's Industrial School. Baltimore.
All were ordered confined until they
reached 81 or until released at the
discretion of the institutions.
Asserting the county has been
paying entirely too many bills" to
take care of juvenile offenders,
Judge Owens said much OF the re-
sponsibility can be attributed to
parental neglect"
The jurist said he based his deci-
sion yesterday on recommendation
of Roy D. Bright, State parole and
probation officer assigned to Prince
Georges County.
Future cases, Judge Owens de-
clared,, will be based on the ability
of parents to pay and one the "ap-
parent extent OF their neglect y

VA and State Officials
To Testify Today on
.viers Mill Appraisa|s.

Veterans Administration and
Maryland planning officials will ex-
plain their parts in appraisal and
investigation Of the Viers Mill VIII
lage housing development before
House Expenditures Subcommittee
this afternoon.
The group is investigating charges
OF overappraisal and poor con-
struction at the low-cost, 1,40o-unit
veterans housing project near
Wheaton, Md.
Chairman Snyder indicated the
investigation will require at least
two more hearings next week.
The committee, meanwhile, is re-
ceiving contradictory testimony
from Government officials, defend
ing their appraisal of the $500
sales price of the homes, and Mont
gomery County officials and private
builders, who charge the cost is too
high.
Supervisor McNayr Testifies.
Irving McNayr, Montgomery
County supervisor, enlarged late
yesterday on complaints registered
by County Commissioner Brooke
Johns that the homes are inferior
from top to bottom"
Mr.. McNayr charged that T. How
ard Duckett, counsel for the Wash
ington Suburban Sanitary Commits
sion, also has served as attorney"
for the Harris Construction Co., con-
tractors at the Viers Mill project.
Officials Of the commission probably
will testify today. , Ss''.~
Mr.. McNayr also slapped at the
Maryland-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission which,
he said, was in charge Of housing
inspections to make sure construc-
ton complies with the county build
ing code. He charged that CHM
neys in the homes do not meet re-
quirements Of the code, but he could
cite no other violations.
Fails to See Value. -
He also declared, however, that
the builders came in here and
worked "a hours a day, knowing
that inspectors could not be on the
job that long" They also worked
in the dead OF winter" he added.
Asked to comment on the value
of the homes. Mr.. McNayr said he
had made several inspection trips
and that I'VE certainly cannot see
So. 700 worth of value in them"
Richard E. Carpenter. assistant
supervisor of schools for the county,
meanwhile, declared the builders
asked $1,000 an acre for eight acres
of land near the site, on which
school would be built. When county
officials refused the price, the build
ers came down to $1,000" he said.
The school official said the county
has proposed it buy the school land
at cost, plus improvements that will
be necessary.
Construction Defended.
Earlier, Benjamin c. Stein, Fed
eral Housing Agency inspector as
signed to the project, told the group
that construction is of good quail
ity." He said the principal defect
in building so far has been faulty
concrete foundations but that these
can be corrected to meet FHA
standards. .....
Max E. Greenberg, attorney for
the Harris company, who has not yet
testified, said only about 20 of the
foundations so far have been found
defective. He said 800 homes now
are under construction on the site.

Revised Figures
Show 1882
Live Arlington
Census Bureau Notes
Increase Of 66,792,
Or ll7%, Since 40

Revised figures show Arlington
County has a total population Of
i23,832.
An announcement today by the
Census Bureau said the total indi-
Gates a population increase since
1940 of 66,792, or 117.1 per cent.
In tentative estimate made pub
lie several weeks ago, the bureau
put the Arlington total at 122,446,
but emphasized that the figure was
subject to revision: The final re-
port is based on statistics as of
February "a.
Authorized by School Board.
The special census was author
lied by the Arlington School Board
at a cost of more than $4,000, pri-
marily to determine probable school
needs. 1t was broadened, however,
50 the county also would have avail
able exact information on total
population, the number of children
living In the county and the num-
Der of dwelling units.
An analysis of the census has not
yet been completed, giving the full
information sought. A complete re-
port is expected within q week.
Charles Walsh, assistant superin-
tendent Of Arlington schools, said
that normally a community with
Arlington's present population would
have a school enrolment OF at least
1900. The county enrolment, how
ever, is only 10000.
School Enrolment Problem,
This difference is the basis for
considerable speculation and the
county authorities are eager to ex-
anime the report on population by
age groups. Mr.. Walsh said many
suspect that Arlington has an un-
usually large proportion of children
below school age. Their enrolment
In the next few years might have
far-reaching effect on construction
programs and the use of existing
facilities.
The Census Bureau observed that
Arlington's population increased
10,575 between 1920 and 1880. and
increased 3o,425 between 1890 and
1910. At that time enumerators
reported 5000 residents. -.
