Davis Agrees 10 Sell
Majority Shares in
Arnold busIines

A change in the majority stock
ownership and in management of
the Arnold busline was announced
formally today by the Washington,
Virginia & Maryland Coach Co.
An agreement has been reached
for Manuel j. Davis, Washington
attorney, to dispose of his majority
ownership to group of persons
headed by Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph l..
Arnold representing interests in the
Metropolitan Area, the announce
ment said.
The group has agreed to take Mr..
Davis holdings rather than permit
the control of the company to go
to operators outside the Metropoli-
tan Area" the statement declared.
New Manager Named.
Today's announcement follows
disclosure at a meeting Of the Ar
lington Civic Federation last night
that changes in management had
been effected. The resignation OF
H. H. England as general manager
was announced last week. He will
retain his stock in the company,
however.
j. G. Campbell, owner and opera
tor of the Jamestown IN. " Motor
Co. and the Buffalo Transit Co.,
has entered into management
contract" with the Arlington bus
firm, it was said.
Lester r. Conley Of the Arlington
Public Utilities Commission told the
federation last night that Mr..
Campbell would take over the man
agerial duties until February, /, at
which time M. D. Mills will succeed
him and remain until the company
"is in the black"
Represents New York Bank.
In reply to a question. Mr.. Conley
said the new management represents
New York State bank" from
which the company has borrowed
extensively and will operate the line
until it has been placed on sound
financial basis"
The new management IS asking
the public to give it at least 80 days
to show improvement and promises
vast" betterment Of service within
six months, Mr.. Conley declared.
The company now will ask the
Arlington County Board, which had
|petitioned the Interstate Commerce
Commission to hold a public hear
ing on the adequacy Of service, to
have the hearing postponed from
January a, MIR. Conley said.
Bankruptcy Threatened.
1T very definitely appears" Mr..
Conley told the civic federation,
that the company Is in this posi-
ton: If it doesn't improve service
and increase revenues 1t will be
bankrupt"
The company said today Mr.. Davis
and Mr.. Arnold "have not and are
not drawing officers salaries" 1t
added that the practice was adopted
'in order that the company may use
this money for the purpose OF
enabling it to meeyits obligations to
Its creditors"
The company listed Mr.. Mills as
Mr.. Campbell's assistant. He is for
mer general manager Of the Seattle
Transit Co. and was associated with
the Oklahoma Railway Co., Okla
homa City.
The company said other new
schedules will be placed in effect
about January 21. It said the line
had purchased 81 new buses in 1947
at a cost Of $583, 900 and since April
has spent about $4,000 month to
improve the condition Of its rolling
equipment.
Additional new equipment will be
bought the end of this year or early
in 1949, the company said.

Butchers Here
Report Shortage
OF Best Meats
Wholesale Prices
Rise ! to 10Cents
For Most Cuts

Supplies Of top-grade meats
are getting scarce in a number
OF Independent food stores in
Washington, foreshadowing a
ull-blown meat shortage as pre-
dicted by some members OF Con-
gress and Government officials.
At the same time, increases of l
to 10 cents pound for most meat
at wholesale were reported by the
wholesale food division of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers .AssociA-
ton.
Sidney Kolker, chairman Of the
division, said most Of the increases
were usual after the holidays. He
said, however, that If the upward
trend continues after January Is,
then consumers could expect an
other round of higher meat prices.
Coming Shortage Seen.
On the question of supplies. he
noted they were getting little
tigher" with better grades Of meat
hard to find"
There is no doubt about tive
are going into a period of shortage" !"
Mr.. Kolker commented.
On the other hand, chain food
stores, which are usually the last
to record price increases as well as
low stocks, reported supplies normal
and prices steady.
Butter prices continued up near
the 81 mark in most stores. One
large chain was selling top-grade
butter for 98 cents a pound.
Eggs Drop Cents.
One break for the housewife was
a drop Of at least 5 cents a dozen
for eggs In many stores.
/. Meanwhile, Senator Flanders, Re-
publican, of Vermont has expressed
the view that livestock producers
will welcome" a modified meat-ra-
tioning system which he proposes
in legislation he plans to introduce
next week.
He said he had noticed complaints
from producing areas rrIat growers
are opposed to any meat rationing
plan, but he told reporters he thinks
they will change their attitude when
they understand it. He would set up
rationing machinery on a standby
basis and would become effective
only when Congress passed a reso-
luton.
Measure Seen as Protection.
The livestock producers, he said,
are in a precarions position in the
present market because they can
easily go broke" if, after buying
young cattle at present price levels,
the bottom drops out of the market
"And the market is going to col
lapse when imitation blows up," he
said, adding:
"The growers will welcome a
steadying of demand and price at
a level which will assure them a
profit.
In another development yesterday,
the Bureau of Labor Statistics re-
ported that preliminary estimates
indicate retail food prices hit a new
record high in mid-December.
The statement was made as the
agency reported final food price
figures for mid November. The price
index at that time stood at 1927
per cent above the 1935-1939 aver
age.

Dirksen Sets Meetinq
To Char Early Action
On D. {. Legislation

Moving to chart District legisla-
ton early in the new session of
Congress, Chairman Dirksen of the
House District Committee has
scheduled full meeting Of his unit
for January 81.
d This will be one week ahead of
the first District day in the House.
Home rule for Washington has
priority on the committee list but
is not expected to be ready for full
committee action until later. Hear
ings on the city suffrage measure
are yet to be held.
Several other hearings are to be
held, meanwhile, by House groups.
Every one seemed willing to CO.
operate to clarity the District legis-
lation program early in the session,
in view of physicians orders that
Chairman Dirksen must reduce his
work load to save his eyesight.
Hearing Set Tuesday.
A public hearing was set for next
Tuesday by the Public Service SUBJ
committee by Chairman Beall, Re-
publican, of Maryland, on bill to
establish special learners driving
permits: This measure is designed
to promote a public school driver
training course.
The Judiciary Subcommittee,
headed by Representative O'Hara,
Republican, of Minnesota, is ex-
pected to meet before the full COM
mittee January 81 session on sew
eral pending bills. These include
measures to extend District rent
control for another full year and
Senate bills to modernize the Dis
trict corporation law and to permit
the pooling of bank trust accounts
into a common fund for investment
purposes.
School Book Study Up.
The subcommittee headed by Rep
resentative Miller, Republican, Of
Nebraska, is to renew its study on
January Is of District school text
books, in the light of Complaints
that they include subversive ma
terial.
A general review Of the Districts
tax structure is expected to be made
by the fiscal subcommittee, headed
by Representative Bates, Repub-
lican, of Massachusetts,. He is
withholding his fire against the
proposed sales tax until he looks
over the Commissioners budget for
the 1949 fiscal year, to be placed
before Congress next week, he said
Mr.. Bates has denounced the sales
tax as the least desirable form of
revenue but has agreed to consider
any and all revenue sources If the
District needs more money.
Repeats Saving Proposal.
In this connection, he repeated his
conviction that the District might
save much money by repairing or
old school buildings
instead If abandoning plants con-
sidered obsolete. This view has
gained strong support in the COM
mittee in recent months.
As MIR. Bates described this prob
lem:
Present building costs are stu

gram is closely watched.
mo building ought to be aban-
doned If it can be remodeled and
put to good use. Millions can be
saved by remodeling old buildings
instead Of building new ones. They
do it everywhere else, why not
here?"

post, it was learned today, Is DR..
George j. Maresh of Boston City

He will come here Friday for an
interview with DR.. Alvin r. Sween-
ey, Gallinger's superintendent, and
probably with DR.. George c. Ruh-
land, Dostrict health officer.
Second Doctor Interviewed.
If he is appointed, it will be CAL
fingers most important move to fill
recent administrative vacancies
caused by designations Of top medi-
cal officers to take better-paid jobs
elsewhere.
In another move to build up the
staff, DR.. Sweeney this morning in
terviewed DR.. Donald G. Johnson,
New York, a candidate for the job
Of chief Of the obstetrics depart
ment.
There are seven department heads
on the Gallinger staff including the
head Of medicine. who also is chief
medical officer. They draw an an
nual pay Of 1881.

Maresh is considered the most
promising Of five candidates for the
chief medical officers post, vacated
last month when 38-year-old DR..
Joseph T. Roberts resigned to be-
come dean Of the University OF
Arkansas Medical School. Names Of
the other candidates have not been
disclosed.
Graduate Of Iowa.
He said DR.. Maresh comes highly
recommended by DR.. William B.

icine, who is noted for his research
in the treatment of pernicious
anemia.
He was graduated in 1943 from
the University of Iowa Medical
School and has been engaged in re-
search at Harvard Medical School
and clinical work at Boston City

DR.. Sweeney said he was partic-
ularly interested in the fact that DR..
Maresh has had experience in a
large municipal hospital comparable
to that he would encounter at Gal
linger.
Galiinger's department heads are
responsible for the administration
of their respective medical services.
Except in pediatrics and tuberculo-
sis, patients are treated chiefly by
the visiting staff of more than 100
doctors from George Washington
end Georgetown medical schools.
Three of the seven department head
positions will shortly be vacant un-
less requirements are found.

Book Lover Explains
What Reading Hobby
Has Meant to Her
Prize Contribution
By Moxine PyIes, Is
Anaeosfia High School


Every person you see Is different
Some like to stay at home; many
aren't sure what they want to do
But there is one way to satisfy near
ly every one. Give him good book.
There are millions Of books, and
there has to be at least one that
even the strangest person would like
to read.
Reading can make or break q
mood. 1t can put you in Egypt
or on a snowy mountain. People
are funny; they can look at book
shelf and see all the wonders the
world can offer and turn away and
not feel a thing.
Books can be an escape for lonely
people or a Joy to the sad. They
can bring adventure to those to
whom it will never come.
The liking for books starts early
in every ones life. We all remenl-
ber our bedtime stories and nur-
sery rhymes. I can remember the
first book read. 1t was given to
me for Christmas. I still have this
book-and also many others which
I have collected in the past years.
love all my books and wouldn't
take the world for any Of them.
I know that any one who reads
one good book will keep on reading
and will be grateful to the person
who gave him the opportunity to
enter into this world Of books.
