Food Chain SIashes
Coffee Price 2Cents;
Few Other Changes

One large food chain reduced
the price of all brands of vacuum
packed coffee cents a pound to-
day following reduction earlier in
the week by another chain of its
house" brands.
officials of both stores insisted
it was not a price war.
Safeway Stores, which cut the
price today. said it was because
of lower wholesale prices. The
A. g. P. chain reduced it's three
house brands Monday, but re-
ported no further change today.
Coffee prices rose steadily for
weeks, until they reached 80 to 95
cents pound, depending on
brand and type of store selling it.
Meanwhile. housewives shop
ping for the week end will find
very few changes in the prices of
other groceries or meats.
C. A. Swanson g. Sons of
Omaha, large poultry packer,
slaShed it's canned bOned chicken
prices up to 10 per cent in one
of the first large scale reductions
to wholesalers since the Korean
war started. The company at
tributed the cuts to lower farmers
prices on poultry.
At the wholesale level, some
small advances in food prices
were just about balanced out by
minor declines. The Dun & Brad
street wholesale food index held
steady this week at $6.48 after
dropping four consecutive weeks.
This index represents the sum
total of the wholesale cost of a
pound each of 81 general use
foods. On September IL when
the decline started, the figure was
$3.50, A year ago this week it
was $3.50.

Dunn Cross-Examinet
AS Hearings Resume
On Pepco Rate Rise

Public Utilities Commission eff
forts to determine if electricity
rates should go up in that
Washington area, continued at
hearings.
r. Roy Dunn, vice president
and treasurer of the Potomac
Electric Power Co.. took the stand
to undergo a detailed cross-exam-
ination of testimony previously
given. The hearings opened last
August 81 and %, resumed for
some cross-examination five weeks
ago and started again today.
Pepco is seeking. a 9.5 per cent
increase in rates to bring in an
additional $35 million a year.
This amount is needed, Pepco
officials have testified, to increase
earnings to a point where more
investors can be attracted and
the company's long range con-
struction program financed.
Lloyd Harrison, counsel for the
PUG, took up most of the morning
session examining previous testi-
mony offered by Mr.. Dunn on
needs for the rise. His question:
ing was directed to efforts to show
that Pepco did not need as much
of an increase as it requested to
maintain confidence of investors.
Mr.. Dunn did not retreat from
his original testimony on needs.

1852 D. {. Budget
To Consider Library
For Cleveland Park

Commissioner Guy Mason has
promised most careful considera-
ton" by the Commissioners of
the long sought Cleveland Park
Branch Library in preparation of
the Districts budget for fiscal
1852.
Mr.. Mason gave the assur-
ance in letter yesterday to Da-
vid R. Barbee, chairman of the
Library Committee of the Con-
necticut Avenue Citizens Associa-
tion.
Residents of the Cleveland Park
neighborhood in 1945 raised $780,
600 toward purchase of the site
for the library, which has been
proposed since 1908. The Dis
trict contributed the balance to
buy the site at Connecticut ave-
nue. and Macomb street.
Mr.. Barbee, testifying at the
public hearing on the budget
Monday. urged that the Com
missioners include enough money
in the budget to construct build
ing which can serve as a COM
munity center as we'll as a library
branch.
The Board of Library Trustees
has asked inclusion of $275,0 900 in
the budget for construction of the
library. Mr.. Barbee asked that
if this sum would not cover the
cost of the building requested, it
be increased.
Plans for the tWo-story build
ing, first planned by the municipal
architect, were modified a year
ago to provide only a one-story
building with library facilities, but
no community facilities. The as
sociation is opposed to the change
in plans.

Give Health Director
Power to Relax Rule
If There Is Shortage
By Horriet Griffiths

The Commissioners decided to-
day to make no change in present
District milk regulations and to
halt importation of milk not in
spected locally after October 81,
as scheduled.
They authorized Health Direc-
tor Daniel l.. Seckinger, however,
to permit outside milk to come
into the District if there is an
other milk shortage.
The wartime emergency pro-
vision adopted in 1912 during a
short supply permitted importa-
ton of milk not inspected by the
District Health Department.
Under today's ruling DR.. Seckin-
ger may, in the event of another
emergency, import milk as need
ed if it can be certified as grade A
fluid milk by the United States
Public Health Service or as meet
ing the fluid milk requirements
for grade A milk of a State
board of health.
Back Seckinger Plan.
The city heads adopted the
recommendations of DR.. Seckipger
for today's action on motion of
Commissioner Guy Mason.
Some changes in the present
milk regulations, which went into
effect last summer, had been
requested by representatives of
independent dairies. Embassy,
Wakefield and Highland Farms.
Attorneys Robert Lynch and
John Hillyard appeared at the
Commissioners Board meeting to
oppose on behalf of the independ-
ent dairies such action as the
city heads took today.
In his report to the Commis-
sioners. DR.. Seckinger said that
after passage of the 1925 Milk
Act and the Commissioners reg
ulations of that year the quality
of Washington milk improved
steadily In 1910, he said. this city
was prominently recognized for
its leadership in the quality of its
milk supply.
Called Illegal Under Milk Act.
A sudden influx of people into
the Washington area in 1912 as
a result of the war and the in
creased demand of military estab-
1ishments caused a milk shortage,
the Health Officer recalled. I'm
portation of the emergency milk"
followed.
DR.. Seckinger said that between
1945 and 1949 about 500 new pro-
ducers were added to this market
and old producers increased their
production. AS a result the Com
missioners last December deter
mined to stop importation of the
emergency milk"
AS matter of fact, DR.. Seek
niger pointed out. the Corporation
Counsel has reported that i'm
portation of uninspected milk is
illegal under the milk act.
IL New Farms In Market.
New regulations designed to en-
large the supply of locally pro-
duced milk without endangering
its quality were adopted last Au-
gust after public hearings.
DR.. Seckinger said that in the
year ended October l the Mary
land and Virginia Milk Produc-
ers' Association has brought I'LL
new farms to this market, produc-
ing about 10000 gallons of milk
day. Embassy and Wakefield
dairies, he said, have submitted
292 applications and after 447I
inspections only of these pro-
ducers may comply under the
regulations. These five still must
submit medical certificates for the
dairy farm attendants,
