Decision will be given later by
Col. Edgar S. Slayer, state liquor
commissioner, after hearing testi-
mony Friday afternoon on applica-
ton of Bob Ching's Lotus Gardens,
located on the state highway north
of Dover, for an eating house liq-

The Rev. Ivanhoe Willis repre-
sented the Objectors and Daniel ].
Layton. Jr., the applicant.
Petitioners against granting of
the license protested that there is
an adequacy of eating and other
places licensed to serve liquors in
the area, that there is not a reas-
enable demand for another place
at which to serve liquors, that mod
ern means of transportation make
it possible to go with practically
no inconvenience to some other
place if the diner wishes drinks
with his meals, and that it would

Drop in Margarine,
Butter and Lard May
Save 5000 for D. {.

Prices of oleomargarine, lard,
eggs and butter were lower in
several retail stores here today,
rejecting wholesale price drops
that will mean a saving of about
5000 in next months food buying
by the District government.
Roland M. Brennan, District
purchasing officer, said that be-
cause of price declines in recent
weeks, the District will accept
bids on a monthly basis instead
of for the usual three months
supply. He reported that bids for
lard, oleomargarine and shorten
ing showed a substantial drop.
At several retail markets un-
colored margarine was selling
from 80 to 35 cents today, as
compared with about 81 cents
a week ago. Lard was quoted at
II cents a pound by one chain
organization, one cent drop.
Several weeks ago the price was
about Is cents.
Butter Down l Cent.
Retail butter prices were down
a cent pound in two large stores
that had listed it from 50 to II
cents a pound last week. Grade A
eggs were selling from 81 to 81
cents a dozen in some stores. which
a week ago had them from SO to
So cents.
Dealers said there has been a
gradual downward price trend in
recent weeks in dairy products.
They cited Nation wide market
surveys indicating that a 9 per
cent drop in lard prices during the
last three months, a 4 per cent
drop for shortening and 3 per
cent decline for oleomargarine.
Mr.. Brennan announced that
lard will cost the District 1857
cents a pound for the next months
supply. The cost this month was
1912 cents. Uncolored oleomar-
garine will cost 1897 cents, as
compared with $3.50 cents. Short
ening will cost 1925 cents, against
this months price of 1924 cents.
D. c. Awards Contracts.
The consolidated Beef and Pro-
vision Co. was awarded a contract
to supply some of these materials

given in most school systems is
casual" and will detect only OBJ
vious defects.
The improvement in the Dis
trict schools in the past year has
been magnificent" DR.. Cannon
declared. But the fact remains
that the 20 doctors doing the
physical examination work just
cannot give the required time to
the 10000 pupils. I'VE need at
least double that number to do a

DR.. Cannon said a complete

In the period since that date,
the spokesman said, FNMA has

to buy $1,000,000,000 in such
mortgages from mortgage bank
ing institutions. Funds for this
purpose were obtained from RFC

the spokesman said.
The theory behind Govern

thus banking institutions will be
enabled to make a greater. num-
ber of per cent loans than they
otherwise would be inclined to
make, since, under the law. FNMA
was permitted to buy up to SO

1t is understood that many
