Milk Board Member S
Visit 10 Cuba Delays

By Malcolm Lamborne, Jr.

Absence of the consumer repre-
sentative on the Virginia Milk
Commission, which controls milk
prices in the Washington area,
has virtually dashed hopes of an
early hearing on a price reduction

three-nlan commission, said Virgil
P. Randolph, jr., consumer repre-
sentative, was vacationing in Cuba
At Mr.. Randolph's law office in
Richmond, secretary said he was
not due back until February 20.
The commission met In Rich
mond yesterday and had hoped to
act On the requests OF, Alexandria
Chestnut Farms and Thompson s
dairies for a prompt hearing on
lower milk prices in the Washing
ton area.
No Action Taken.
But. the commission took no
action. Instead, it mailed Mr..
Randolph copies of the requests
for hearing.
'We asked him to cable back
the earliest he can attend a meet
ing of the commission, Mr.. Tur-
ner said.
Mr.. Randolph, former assistant
attorney general for Virginia, was
appointed last fall by former Gov.
Tuck to succeed DR.. Upton
Snaveley of Charlottesville, who
had served as consumer repre-
sentative for some time. He re-
signed because of the press of
other duties.

first request for a hearing from
the Maryland and Virginia Milk

Need Of More Police
To Curb Crime Gets
Sympathetic Hearing

Need of more policemen to meet
Washington's crime problem was
considered sympathetically at the
recent Bates Appropriations Sub
committee hearing on the city's
1851 supply bill, it was revealed
today.
During these closed-door ses-
sions, the transcript shows, Com
missioner John Russell Young pre-
dicted that one result of the cur
rent House investigation of crime
and law enforcement here would
be a demand for more police.
Referring to the crime hearings
now being conducted by the Davis
Subcommittee of the House Dis
trict Committee. Commissioner
Young told the budget group:
cit is possible, when that gets
through, to show that, with the
increase in crimes throughout the
country and Washington, like
every other city, they may think
we should ask for more police"
Considered Asking 200.
He said he had been tempted tc
ask for 200 extra men but didn't
asking only for IL because the
cost OF expanding the force today
runs up into money-big money.
."I probably should have askes
for more but didn't do it," he con.
tinued. With a city of our size
according to the standards ot
police chiefs throughout the coun.
try. we probably should have two
Tor three or four hundred more"
Representative Bates, Democrat
lof Kentucky, chairman of the
funds subcommittee, at the enc
OF this section of the hearings
remarked: II believe we should
give them as much as we possibly
can and, at the same time, be
considerate of the welfare of the
finances of the city.
"If something goes wrong out
in the District. we are going te
blame them. So. feel that We
ought to give them the TOOLS"
Extra Men Show Results.
Maj. Robert j. Barrett, super
intendent of police, reported that
last year, when the department
had assigned so extra police tx
duty in the precincts, because o1
an increase in crimes, there was 9
decline Of 4 per cent in crimes

this to the use of the extra men

it doesn't care where it is built.

to write the Congress, asking that

ton stipulated that the bridge be

Scent Increase
In Arnold Fare
To Face Delay
Arlington Officials
Will Protest Report
Of ICC Examiner

Arlington officials today promised
action to forestall a scent cash
fare increase on the Arnold Lines.
An Interstate Commerce Com
mission examiner yesterday rec
commended the boost in all but one
OF the bus company zones. The
new rates. expected to be approved
by the ICC. would become effective
March l, unless exception is filed.
Chairman Daniel A. Dugan of
the Arlington County Board. which
fought the proposed raises, said
the board will file an exception
This automatically will delay the
higher charges. i
The board is expected to act to-
morrow after a report from Lester
Conley, attorney, who represented
the county at ICC hearings.
The line, known officially as the
Washington, Virginia & Maryland
Coach Co., links parts of Arling-
ton and Fairfax Counties with the
District.
Examiner James j. Williams
recommended the increases in
five of the company's six zones.
He suggested that the Accent
rate between the District and
Oakton and Fairfax remain un-
changed.
No Change to Pentagon.
Arnold did not request any
change in the special 10-cent fare
to and from the Pentagon, Navy
Annex and Arlington Farms.
Tokens, now 4 for so cents, will
be 6 for 81 under the recommen-
dation. -
Present cash fares, by zones, are
Is cents, 20 cents, Is cents, 30
cents, IS cents and 40 cents.
A survey last fall determined
that 10 per cent of Arnold Line
interstate passengers travel to and
from zone /. This extends almost
six miles into Arlington from the
Washington terminal on Eleventh
street between E and F streets.
A request for an increase in
intrastate fares is pending before
the Virginia State Corporation
Commission.
Now Operated nv State
Since November 2, Virginia has
been operating the line under a
no-strike" statute. The State
took over after union employees
voted to strike when the company
said it could not pay a wage in
crease awarded by board Of ar
bitration.
The bus firm originally sought
increases effective October 20.
l94s. The ICC blocked the change
until May %, after the proposal
was protested by the Arlington
County Board and the Civic Fed
Grafton. Hearings were held be-
fore MIR. Williams in November
and December.
The w. v. & M. contended 1t
had no alternative but to seek a
fare increase in order to pay in
creased wages, compensate certain
officers now serving without pay,
and to earn. reasonable profits.
Arnold Line passengers are the
second group of Metropolitan area
residents facing higher trans
portation costs. The Maryland
Public Service Commission on
Wednesday granted Capital
Transit Co. request for a 2-cent-
a-zone increase in fares in Mont
gomery and Prince Georges Coun-
ties. This is effective February 20.

Editorial
THE 1850 MARCH OF DIMES


WE CONE around again to the time when members of
the community known as St, Croix have the opportunity to
speak, in action, against the dread disease of infantile para
lysis. Doctors tells us that while the disease may strike at all
age levels, yet it strikes most frequently among children, a
tact which gives added reason for sympathy and understand
ing. This year, even more so than in other years, each and
every citizen should resolve, and follow through, by giving
all that he possibly can.
H MARCH of Dimes is closely associated with the
memory of Franklin D. Roosevelt, a man whom the Virgin
Islands learned to know and to love, and one whose influence
affected much of our course, present and future. 1t was he
who followed through with the idea that had come from. a
group interested in striking at polio" on a nationwide basis.
And when we remember that this great man fought and won
and then went on to place himself at the head of the list Of
those whose lives most greatly influenced the future Of
America, we receive encouragement that there can be a VIC
tory, and that victories may come very close to home.
THIS YEAR R. De Chabert, Tax Assessor for St. Croix,
has been named director of the local March Of Dimes drive.
MIR. Chabert, acquainted with the work of both the local and
national chapters, carries on the work which in former years
had been done by Joseph Alexander, who shouldered many
posts in his long public service. In capable hands, and with
enthusiasm, the March of Dimes should start off with an OBJ
timistic note, and continue to its closing date for this year,
seeking to reach everyone, and call forth the response which
would make it the most successful in point of contribution.
THE IDEA that only those who can afford should CON
tribute to such worthy causes is a mistaken one, to say the
least. Dimes are what count, and if each and everyone gave
one dime-one thin dime-we will be in a position to. extend
our local work, and send off a greater amount to the national
foundation. OF course, there will be those who, knowing the
seriousness OF it all, and wanting to make sure that we did
our best, will send in larger sums, and these will compensate
for whatever may be lacking from other quarters. But we must
not sit back and depend upon the fact that others will cover
for us. This is a community enterprise, and like thousands Of

Often Saved Day

More than once in the past, Sem
ator Vandenberg has stepped into
the breach and halted politics at
the waters edge when some men,
bers of his party kicked over the
traces and placed partisanship
above the country's interests.
What many cannot under
stand here is how the senate
has let this probe Of commu-
nism in the state department
get out Of hand and develop
into a full-scale Hollywood
show daubed by the smear and
"guilt by association" tech
nique which Is making of our
state department a laughing
stock for the rest of the world.
How much better it would have
been, observers here point out, to
have used FBI methods, namely
to quickly and efficiently and quiet
ly gather the evidence and if it
constituted grounds sufficient to
fire, or to indict, to have placed
1t in the hands of the department
Of justice without all the fanfare
Of movies, television, kleig lights
and character assassination of
many innocent and loyal Amer

FLYING DISKS:
Navy Says NO


If there are, or were, any flying
saucers whirring through space,
the United States navy has nothing
to do with them and knows nothing
about them. The air force said the
same thing.
THE SERVICES also denied that
they are developing secret planes,
guided missiles or anything else
that could be mistaken for flying
saucers.
These denials were issued after
two published reports traced the
saucers to navy and air force "se-
cret" projects.
An air force Spokesman declared
that "the armed forces are not do
ing anything that could be traced
to being the basis of reports of fly
ing saucers."
He said the air force position was
the same as it was last December
when it announced-after investi-
eating 375 reports of flying saucers
- that they were "misinterpreta-
tons Of various conventional OBJ
jects, a mild form of mass hysteria
or hoaxes." In other words "there
amt no such thing" as a flying
saucer.
A NAVY SPOKESMAN denied
with equal vigor that the navy Is
developing super-speed planes that
have been spotted as "saucers."
Said he: "The navy is not ex-
perimenting with, or doing research
on, any type Of plane or guided
missile that resembles In any way
a flying saucer"
So, that should be that. However,
It would be difficult to convince
many Americans that there are no
flying saucers. and If a troubled
citizen, seeking, subconsciously or
not, a momentary relief from his
woes and burdens, thinks an object
in the sky Is flying saucer. no
particular harm has been done. In
fact 1t may do him some good.

she was at the counter. Suddenly
she screamed, and the man turned

man. On searching him he was
found to be armed. Later he was
identified as notorious hold-up
man.
Mrs. Jones, II you hadn't
screamed I would certainly have
been robbed" declared the butcher
gratefully. "But how did you know
he was a bandit?"
II didn't know" protested Mrs.
Jones. II screamed when you told
me what the roast was going to
