Hatton Creek Project
Is Blocked by Army

Proposed deepening of a chan
mel in Hatton Creek, Md, a tribu-
tary Of the Wicomico River In the
vicinity of Rock Point. on the
Potomac, has been blocked tenn
porarily at least by an unfavor-
able report from the Secretary of
the Army.
The report, sent to Congress.
has been referred to the House
Public Lands Committee. This
negative result of a preliminary
examination of the project,
previously authorized by Con-
gress, means that a final survey
will not be made now by the Army
Engineers to determine the feasi-
bility of the project.
Conclusions of the Secretary of
the Army were based on an ex-
animation by Army district engi-
neers. concurred in by the Board
of Engineers for Rivers and Har-
bors. Maj. Gen. Lewis A. Pick,
Chief of Army Engineers. the
Maryland Board of Natural Re-
sources and Gov. Lane.
The project was intended to aid
the fishing industry.
The Army Secretary's report
said fishermen could be served
with a harbor in Charleston
Creek, one mile south of Hatton
Greek, where there Is a natural
depth of five to seven feet, If the
local government" would pro-
vide an access road to that creek.
Other facilities for the industry
in the general area are available
now. the report said.

Plan 10 Use Chemicals
In Dairy Steri|izing
Stirs Up Controversy
By MoIcoIm Lomborne, Jr.

A bitter fight was shaping up
yesterday over the District Health
Departments proposal to permit
dairy farmers in nearby States
to use chemical as we'll as the
present costly steam sterilization
methods of cleaning dairy equip
ment.
The proposal, which is to be
aired at a District building hear
ing Thursday. appears to have
thrown a bombshell in the midst
of the Maryland and Virginia
Milk Producers Association, which
provides about 80 per cent Of the
city's milk.
To qualify for q Health De-
partment permit. association
members are required to buy and
install boilers for steaming their
equipment-a requirement which
only two other cities in the coun-
try have, according to a District
official.
Would Reduce Cost.
One authority in the dairy busi-
ness here pointed out last night
that permitting producers to. use
chemicals such as chlorine would
reduce the cost of producing milk
for Washington consumers.
Under the present regulation
the consumer Is paying the ex-
pense of steam sterilization" he
declared.
Proponents of chemical sterili-
zation-and they include sources
other than in the Health Depart
ment-also cite the fact that
Washington's water supply is
purified with chlorine and that
dairies, hotels and restaurants
here use chemical sterilization un-
der Health Department auspices.
Proposal Called Surprise.
An Official of the producer asso-
ciation said last night the depart
ment proposal had come as "a
complete surprise" He also said
that relaxation of 1.-The present
rigid regulations would certainly
put our producers at a tremendous
disadvantage"
There is no necessity for
changing the regulations. There
is sufficient milk now being pro-
duced in this milkshed to supply
Washington II months Of the
year." the official declared.
He claimed that chemical
sterilization "can be done care
lessly, but there is no chance of
any slipup in steam sterilization"
The official disclosed that pro-
duction of milk in the area is
running 10000 gallons a day in
excess of Washington's needs. He
said this was due in a great part
to importation of milk by a group
of four local dairies from areas
outside Health Department juris-
diction.
Ban to Start in June.
The importation of milk from
other than this milkshed is to be
banned June 80. However, this
question also will be discussed at
the hearing and is sure to meet
the opposition of the dairies not
now dealing with the association.
but dependent on outside sources
for their supply.
Reimposition of the ban, which
was lifted during the war because
of scarcities. was requested last
winter by the Maryland-Virgini
association.
Meanwhile, the District Court
trial of the association, its Secre-
tary- treasurer. Bruce B. Derrick,
and seven Washington area dairies
will be resumed tomorrow. The de-
PENDANTS are being tried on
charges of conspiracy to Ak milk
prices in restraint of trade.
