territories for the national school
lunch project.
The city will match the $18l, ,13e
on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
Amount Called Adequate.
Harry M. Gardner, supervisor
for the program in the District

us through the school year nicely
and give us some room for ex-
pansion." This year, he said, the
program was halted early in June
because funds ran out. Last

Under the school lunch pro-
gram, operated in high. junior
high and one elementary school
John Quincy Adams-the funds
are used to reimburse the schools
8 cents for each complete lunch
served. With this reimbursement,
schools are able to reduce prices
of the meals.
The funds also figure in the Dis
trict's penny milk program, which
is operated by Mr.. Gardner under
of the Commissioners.
In this project, Mr.. Gardner coll
lects cent from students and gets
Q cents from the fund toward the
price of each bottle of milk. The
city pays the remainder of the
cost.
Nearby States Get Increase.
The lunch program last year
was operated in 81 high and junior
high schools. which have their
own cafeterias. In 1913 grade
schools, about 3,6oO,000 bottles of
milk we're sold under the penny
Agrictulture's allotment last
year totaled $58.875, 900.
Among the new allocations was
S695.856 for Maryland. as COM
pared with S568,092 for the past
year, and $1,613,536 for Virginia
as compared with 1908, ,229.
Law Requires Matching Fund.
Laws authorizing the program
require that Federal funds be
matched equally by funds from
sources within the States, except
where a States per capita income
is lower than the average for the
United States.
Congress recently appropriated
$83 100000 for Federal aid for
the program. The unalloted
balance will be retained by the
department for the purchase of
surplus nutritious foods for dis
tribution among schools taking
part.
The department said more than
100000 school meals were
served last year to approximately
one-fourth of the Nations school
children.

Theater Fight Back
To Supreme Court
By the Associated Press

NEW, YORK, Aug. 3.-Three of
Americas major film companies
face the prospect of becoming
either producer distributors or
theater owners.
Last week, Federal Court told
Twentieth Century-Fox. Warner
Bros. and Loew's that the COM
panies should divorce their pro-
ducing and exhibiting activities.
The decision stemmed from
from the Governments long
standing contention that the film
producers control of theaters was
a monopoly in many cities-and
that it involved certain illegal
practices under the antitrust
laws. ws.'--''~---'-'''~'''s-~s
The companies aren't saying
what they're going to do. But
trade circles say they may go back
to the Supreme Court for relief
from the lower court ruling, or
else try to negotiate a consent
decree with the Government to
make the impending divorce as
painless as possible.
Decree Due After Sept. 20.
The court said a decree carrying
out it's ruling would be entered
after Sept. 20.
Twentieth Century, through
subsidiaries, controls about 600
movie houses in this country and
Canada with varying interest in
about 484 others abroad.
The $150,O00,000 corporation
also prodaced As major films in
1948, and many short features:
published music, turned out tele-
vision programs and handled mil
lions of real estate holdings.
Warner Bros. operated about
443 theaters in 18 States and the
District of Columbia. and also had
interests in a British chain of 400
theaters.
Released % Features.
Last year, the $188,000, 900
Warner corporation released %
features and many shorts: pub
lished music. produced stage plays,
operated radio and television sta
tions.
Loew's, Inc, which does an an
nual gross business around ST.
100000. has approximately 1876
theaters in Is States, the District
|of Columbia and Canada.
In 1948 Loew's, through Metro
Goldwyn Mayer, released % fea-
ture-length films, produced semi
weekly newsreels and other shorts
turned out phonograph records
under the name "MGM Records
and had its fingers in radio and
television.
All three companies maintain
their film exchanges in the United
States and other countries.

Reynolds TO Describe
Hospital Center Plans
To Park Commission

Public Buildings Commissioner
w: E. Reynolds will outline de-
tails OF the Districts proposed and
long overdue $20,000,000 hospital
center during the monthly meet
ing of the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission opening
today at the Interior Department.
In closer touch with the in
volved situation. which necessi-
tates removal of the Naval OBJ
servstory to Charlottesville, Va, in
order to make the Observatory
Circle site on Massachusetts, ave-
nue. NV. available for the new
hospital, Mr.. Reynolds is sched-
uled to appear before the group
tomorrow Mr.. Reynolds may be
able to give the Federal planners
something in the way of a time
table on proposed operations.
The planners will have to ap-
prove plans for the new hospital
center, proposed to provide 1900
beds, as we'll as plans for fitting
the huge project on the old OBJ
servatory grounds.
Funds for RedevelOpment.
The commission will be called
upon again to request funds for
the District redevelopment pro-
gram which has had no appro-
priation now for two years. Ad-
vancement of its own report on
the comprehensive plan for Wash
ington and its environs. for which
Congress has allowed $4,000 for
printing and binding. also will be
an order of business.
One outgroWth of the failure
OF Congress to provide redevelop-
ment funds will be a joint meeting
with committee representing the
Washington Housing Association.
Purpose of the conference is to
discuss the Importance of arous-
ing more effective community
relationships in the District. The
meeting was suggested by Miss
Hilda Cloud, executive secretary
of the housing association and one
OF the conferees tomorrow.
This afternoon the planners will
negotiate terms on an amend
atory agreement to proceed with
land acquisitions in Montgomery
and Prince Georges Counties under
the Capper- -Cramton Act. In
volved are various small stream
valleys and extension of the Ana
costa River Parkway.
Parkway Boundaries.
Also, it is proposed to approve
the initial boundaries of the right
of-way for the George Washing
ton Memorial Parkway from Spout
Run. on the Virginia side, up the
Potomac to the Fairfax County
line. That would take the park
way about a mile above Chain
Bridge. Federal, State and Ar
lington County funds, totaling
S250.000 are available for land
purchases this year. That is half
of the total authorize ton.
Another order OF, business is an
expected report from the Mary
land National Capital Park and
Planning Commission on the al
location of s498,00O in Federal
funds for extension of the Ana
costa River Parkway and other
projects.
Thomas c. Jeffers, landscape
planner, will present studies for
improvements to the ap-
proaches to Key Bridge on the
District side. This is an old prob
lem. involving restoration of the
Francis Scott Key mansion and
changes affecting the steep hill
on Thirty-fifth street at M street.
The final day of the monthly
meeting. Friday, will be spent in
consultations and trips about the
city to "see things at first hand"

at the Boston v. A. Office, the

1t is estimated by Carl B.

represents excessive premiums

the fact that they were based on
a higher anticipated death rate

actually occurred. The average

When a worker dies, no matter
how old he is, his widow may
receive monthly benefits so long
as she has a child under age 10
in her care. In order for these
benefits to be payable the worker
must have died insured. At the
time of his death the widow must
have been living with him, or
being supported by him, and the
children must be unmarried and
under age Is. The widows bene-
fit terminates in the event she
remarries or when the youngest
child reaches age IS. In addition
to her own widows benefit, the
widow receives a benefit on be-
