now on sale, and reservations will
close on April "a, to allow the din
ner committee time to plan proper
quantities.

Diaries Ask Cut
0f122Centsin
Milk at Retail
Producers Suggest
1-Cent Reduction
Effective April |

Washington area dairies today
proposed an immediate one-and-
a-half cent cut in the retail price
OF milk while the Maryland and
Virginia Milk Producers Associa-
ton asked for a 1-cent reduction
effective April /.
Both proposals were made at a
Virginia Milk Commission hearing
in Alexandria.
AT the same time testimony re-
vealed that the producers group
has offered milk to Thompson's
Dairy at nearly half the regular
price for sale to Federal and Dis
trict institutions.
Robert H. Rawlins, production
manager Of Thompsons, said his
firm had received such an offer
IN letter February 1e from B. B.
Derrick, secretary treasurer of
the association.
Special Price Offered
According to MIR. Rawlins, the
letter offered fluid milk at
special price of $3.50 a hundred
pounds. The present wholesale
price of milk sold to regular Gus
toners is S6.44 a hundred pounds.
Thompson's, along with Chest
nut Farms-Chevy Chase Dairy
and Alexandria Dairy. asked the
commission for an immediate re-
duction of one and half cents
quart in the retail price of milk.
While the commission has no
authority to regulate District
prices, local dairies serving near
by Virginia, in the past, have
changed their Washington prices
to keep them in line with nearby
rates.
Mr.. Derrick. in testimony pre-
pared for delivery to the COM
mission, asked that the whole
sale price of milk be reduced A
cents a hundred pounds, effective
April l. and further recommended
that this reduction be passed on
to consumers. 1t is estimated
this figure would amount to about
one cent quart at retail.
Recent Cuts Cited.
M H Burchell, secretary treas
urer of the Alexandria Dairy,
cited recent price cuts in Balti-
more. Philadelphia, New York,
Pittsburgh and Boston. He asked
for an immediate reduction of 50
cents hundred pounds, which
he said would enable dairies to
reduce the price from 21R to 20
cents a quart.
The hearing. held in the Alex
andria Recreation Center, drew
one of the largest crowds ever
seen at commission hearing in
this area. The audience was
made up mainly of nearby area
dairy farmers.

one of it's members to ban the sale
OF beer and wine on Sunday.

cause it would drive their Sun

f1nitely was adopted by a So vote.

posal but none had an opportu-
nifty to speak before the measure
was tabled.

reading a $25 200 grant to Alex
andria Hospital to pay the insti-
tution's outstanding debts. The
ALLEGATION was recommended by
the councils Hospital Committee.

MeNayr Starts Survey
OF County's Need for
Trash Pickup System

Montgomery County Manager
Irving G. McNayr today launched
a survey to determine the necessity
for a county-operated trash COL
lection and disposal system.
In ordering the study yesterday,
the county council also denied an
application by Blake D. Merson
for a license to operate a dump
at BeantoWn, just outside Rock
vile.
In other business, the council:
l. Appointed Mrs. T. B. Dorsett,
Beallsville, to the Library Advisory
Committee and Mason Butcher, a
traffic engineer in the Public
Works Department, to the County
Safety Board.
2. Set public hearing at 7::30
pm, March 16. in the Rockville
Courthouse on proposed health
regulations for private schools.

merlt to the zoning ordinance cov-
ering cooperative, non-oommer-
cial stables. '
4. Deferred action for a week
on the Board of Education's ap-
plication for S2,911,000 in State
loans and grants for school con-
struction.
Dump Called Inadequate.
At present, the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission
picks up trash in most of the
county's suburban area and dis
poses of it in the commission S
incinerator near Silver Spring.
The council pointed out, how
ever. that this service does not
include Incorporated towns, out
lying portions of the Washington
Suburban Sanitary District, apart
ment houses having more than
four-family units, commercial and
industrial establishments and
trash which cannot be burned.
Mr.. Merson's application was
rejected on the ground the dump
is inadequate.
Pending completion Of Mr.. Nc
Nayr's study, Mr.. Merson was per-
mitted to continue to operate the
dump on a month-to-m month basis.
The council also ordered inspec-
tions to be made of all other pri-
vate dumps in the county at least
once a month.
To Investigate Complaints.
In addition, the county man
ager was directed to yinvestigate
complaints of dumping along
roads.
Council President Frederic P.
Lee emphasized the council did
not desire to set up a trash-re-
moval and disposal service as a
substitute for that now furnished
by the sanitary commission.
The councils decision to defer
action on the School Boards ap-
plication for State funds was
taken after an argument between
Council Members j.. Douglas
Bradshaw and Mrs. Dorothy Him
stead.
Mr.. Bradshaw claimed school
officials had failed to go into suf-
f1cient detail in their request. Mrs.
Himstead contended, however
that any delay by the council
might hold UP the school con-
struction program.

Bill 10 Reoreanize
Prince Georges Setup
Sent 10 Governor
Speeiol Dispatch 10 The Stor

ANNAPOLIS. March IA bill
to revamp the Prince Georges
county government was passed
finally by a house voice vote last
night.
Before the measure cleared and
went to the governors desk, how
ever. Delegate John R. Reeves,
Republican, of Montgomery Coun-
ty. took the floor to remark that
his county had ben much in
f1icted" with the will imposed by
Prince Georges leaders.
He added that 1--WE know the bill
has aroused tremendous opposi-
ton" and that 1--WE do not favor it
at this session because we see no
reason for it,"
The Montgomery delegation
was excused from voting, a pro-
cedure used to hold fast the legis-
lative tradition of non-interfer-
ence with strictly local bills spon-
sored by assemblyinen from other
Jurisdictions.
Office Return Voted.
In another action, the House
approved a bill to require return
of certain divisions of the control
ler's office which were moved last
year from Annapolis to Baltimore.
The move has been the subject
of several sharp floor battles at
this session and a case protesting
the transfer is now before the
State Court of Appeals.
Affected by the measure are the
admission tax and alcoholic bev-
erage divisions and part of the in
come tax division.
Gov. Lane is expected to sign
the measure.
Backers of legislation to exempt
restaurant meals from the sales
tax gave up hope last night when
parliamentary maneuvering fatal
ly delayed their bill in the House
The bill was ordered "held over"
when an amendment was offered.
Proponents could not get enough
votes to suspend the rules.
This meant final vote in the
House cannot come until Thurs
day-too late for the Senate to
do anything about it as the As
sembly adjourns tomorrow mid
night. The Senators have already
killed an identical bill which orig
mated there. .
University Bill Advances.
Other pieces of unfinished busi-
ness include a proposal for an
nual 60-day legislative sessions, a
repeater of the State segregation
(Jim Crow law, and dozens of
relatively minor matters.
The Senate gave tentative ap-
proval to independent construc-
ton bond issues by the University
lof Maryland. Another vote is
scheduled today, then a possibly
bumpy trip through the House.
The measure would allow the
University Board of Regents to
borrow money on revenue bonds
for dormitories, a recreation build
ing and other structures. The
program now contemplated totals
100000. Senators heard during
debate.
The bonds will be paid off with
fees the university collects.
Measure Modified.
Seven senators voted against
delegating traditionally State
government powers to the univer-
sity. But 81 favored the bill and
advanced 1t to final reading.
The House gave tentative ap-
proval to a House joint resolution
ito clarity" Maryland's previous
stands on the world government"

In doing so, it stripped, by a
60-57 vote, the clauses of reso-
luton by Delegate Burch Demo-

ment OF some system of controls
