First Day of DC. Price Office
Brings Only Three Complaints

Washington's first week day
under price controls produced
more than 100 telephone inquiries
but a surprisingly low number of
complaints of over-ceiling viola
tions.
District Price Director Vincent
A. Holmes said that. during the
entire day, the Office received only
price complaints-one concerning
meat, another haircut prices, and
the other a hardware item.
The Office at 31O Sixth street
NV. had some 80 visitors from
the various trades and Is or so
job-seekers. In this connection,
it was pointed out the price Office
is accepting job applications but
Is not interviewing any one.
No interpretations Yet.
Mr.. Holmes emphasized the
Office is not yet authorized to give
any interpretations of the freeze
order. That will come from the
national Office.
Persons complaining of alleged
over-ceiling violations are being
asked to send them in in written
form. rather than telephone to
the local Office, in the Courts
Building.
Meanwhile, officials are COM
piling a list of frequently asked
questions and preparing to publish
Evening star., 1951-01-30

the answers in a convenient form
as quickly as possible.
Because of yesterdays bad
weather. there were relatively few
visitors to the Office seeking copies
of the freeze order. This was for
tunate. since very few copies o1
the orders were available at that
time. Additional supplies were
due today.
An official also explained that
for the time being, nearby Mary
land residents will deal through q
district Office at 37O6 N. Charles
street, Baltimore, and Virginians
through a regional Office at 90C
Lombardy street. Richmond.
Baltimore Office Set Up.
Hugo r. Hoffman, acting head
of the district Office in Baltimore
set up shop yesterday with a plea
for public cooperation and a
warning to chislers.
The Maryland price director
outlined plans for branch Offices
in every county and several in the
larger cities, with about 90 inves-
tigators to enforce price ceilings
He said his Office will operate on
friendly basis at first, then God
help the first man to go wrong"
Mr.. Hoffman named Edgar Nc
Shane, assistant to former Gov.
O'Conor, as his deputy, and Louis
Ezekiel as public relations con-
sultant.

Virginia Willing to Bar Trucks
In Shirley Highway Rush Hours

The Virginia Department of
Highways will place a ban on
trucks using Shirley highway dur
ing rush hours if the Federal Bu-
reau of Public Roads desires it.
The limited-access, high-speed
thoroughfare, leading south from
Washington. is scheduled to be
open to heavy vehicles some time
in the spring, when dual-lane con-
struction is expected to be COM
pleted at Woodbridge.
Because the road was con-
structed primarily with Federal
funds. the State Department has
stated it was obligated to open
the highway to trucks as soon as
it was completed.
Commuters in Northern Vir-
ginia and interests in Fredericks-
burg, Alexandria, Arlington and
Evening star., 1951-01-30

in the Parkfairfax and Fairling-
ton apartment developments have
asked that the trucks be kept off
the road.
The compromise was suggested
at January II conference in the
Office of Representative Smith,
Democrat. of Virginia.
A Pentagon spokesman at that
time expressed the view that con-
siderable congestion from truck
travel would occur around the
Pentagon area.
The Virginia agency indicated
that if the Federal Bureau of
Public Roads put the rush hour
ban on the portion of the road it
controls near Washington, the
State agency would put on bans
to dovetail into the Washington
plan, the Associated Press re-
ported,

Constitution Debate
AT Annapolis Shows
Opposition Gaining
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 30.-Argu-
ments on the calling of a conven-
ton to draw up a new State con-
stitution were to be heard today
before the House and Senate Ju-
dietary Committees.
Baltimore City legislators and
many from the larger counties are
for the bill and it's companion
resolution to set up a special COM
mission to lay the groundwork for
the convention. But sharp op-
position has developed from
legislators from the smaller
counties.
Odds No Better Than Even.
At this time, observers were
agreed that the bill and resolu-
ton have no more than an even
chance of passage.
Among groups which asked to
testify on behalf of a convention
are the Maryland League of
Women Voters and the Montgom-
cry County Civic Federation.
-Four Baltimoreans-all attor-
neys-asked to be heard in op-
position. They are former Chief
Judge Samuel K. Denis of the Su-
preme Bench of Baltimore, Paul
Htginbothom, w. Wethered Bar
roll and George Washington Will
liams.
The electorate went or record
as favoring convention call by a
margin of almost to / last No
vember at a referendum. But it
is up to the Legislature to make
the final decision on rewriting
the 84-year-old constitution.
Defeated 20 Years Ago.
Twenty years ago, after a
similar referendum with similar
result, the Legislature refused to
issue the convention call.
Both the Republican and Dem
ocratic platforms for the 1850
election advocated a convention.
Senate majority Leader Gold
stein, Democrat, of Calvert Coun-
ty who has been spearheading the
opposition, argues that the ex-
plosive world situation makes it
unfeasible for Maryland to-
change its constitution now. He
said that he had no part in
writing his party's platform and
does not feel bound by it.
Much of the small county oppo-
sition call stems from a feeling
that Baltimore City and the
larger counties may seize control
Of the Legislature.

reached at all. No consent decree
has been filed yet" It was not
known if he referred to the filing
of the decree in a technical sense.
Chief Judge w. Connell Smith,
before whom the mandamus ac-
ton was to come, said he was
advised he could pass the hearing
because the State would submit
a consent decree this week.
The State previously had con-
tended that required facilities for
engineering students were pro-
vided at Maryland State College
at Princess Anne, the Negro
branch of the University.
The Supreme Court recently
held that States must offer equal
facilities for Negroes or admit
them to classes with whites.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 30.-Mary-

Virginia Readyto Enter
Mutual Aid Compact
In Civil Defense Plans

Washington and its neighbors
today were step nearer to work.
ing out arrangements for helping
each other in time of enemy at
tack.
Attorney General ]. Lindsay
Almond of Virginia yesterday told
Gov. Battle that he has full power
under the Virginia Defense Act of
1912 to enter into mutual aid COM
pacts with adjacent States and
the District.
The attorney generals decision
was hailed here as clearing one of
the obstacles out of the path of
a mutual-aid agreement with the
District. 1t had been thought ear
lier Virginia might have to call
a special session of the Legislature
before a mutual-aid pact could be
signed.
West Explains District Position.
Corporation Counsel Vernon
West said the District now has
authority to enter into mutual-aid
pacts with Maryland and Virginia
but he expressed doubt whether
the present District Civil Defense
Act gives the Commissioners
enough power to sign an all
inclusive pact such as the one
proposed by the Federal Civil
Defense Administration.
Broader powers are carried in
the proposed new civil. defense
legislation which the Commission
ers expect to present to Congress
soon.
Mr.. West said the Commits
sioners have been holding up the
proposed legislation while at
tempting to straighten out the
legal angles of the proposal for a
home guard. The corporation
counsel added. however, that if
the home guard question threatens
to delay the overall proposed
legislation too long, it will 60 to
the Capitol without that provision.
Police Reserves to Take Oath.
AS for Maryland, Mr.. West said
he understood the Governor has
limited authority to enter into
mutual = aid agreements. If
broader powers are necessary, they
could be considered at the current
session of the Maryland Legis-
lature.
In another civil defense devel-
opment, the Police Department
announced that the first two
groups of volunteers for the Police
Reserve Corps will be sworn in
tomorrow by Inspector Walter H.
Storm. Each group includes SO
men. One group will be assigned
to the ninth precinct and the
other to the fourteenth precinct
for training.
Recruiting Center Studied.
The search for volunteers for
all branches of the civil defense
organization may prompt civil de-
fense officials to set up central
recruiting and information office.
Acting Civil Defense Director
John E. Fondahl said yesterday
he was considering plans for such
an Office.
Inspector Fondahl spoke at a
Of the Washington Civic
Association, new group formed
to coordinate activities of vari-
GUS service, civic and veterans or
ganizations. The meeting was held
in the National Press Club.
Inspector Fondahl told the
that about 5000 wardens
could be turned out in the event
OF an emergency in the District.
The priority needs now are
for volunteers with executive and
administrative experience, those
who will take instructor courses
IN the various civil defense fields
and those to undergo instruction
in f1rst-aid nursing. fire-fghting
and civil defense orientation
training.

Battle Calls for Repor
From Commission on
Milk Price Increase

Gov. Battle of Virginia has
asked for a report from the State
Milk Commission on it's ordering
an unrequested price increase for
the Washington area.
His action was taken on request
Of the Arlington members of the
General Assembly who, mean
while, indicated the commission
would be in for tougher sledding'
at future legislative sessions.
There is no precedent for the
Governor asking the commission
for an accounting of it's actions.
So far, Gov. Battle has received a
memorandum from the commits
sion on its order which raised the
price Of milk by one half cent a
quart to 2212 cents in the Arling-
ton-Alexandria market.
No Promise of Action.
This resulted in a similar in
crease in Washington and in sub
urban Maryland, as customary.
But the price rise quickly spread
to Baltimore where a distributor
producer representative there laid
the cause directly to the action by
the Virginia Milk Commission.
Gov. Battle said he merely wants
to "look into it," and made no
promise of action on the price
order. Protests reaching his Of
flee have been based mainly on
the point that the Virginia pro-
ducers and dairies had not asked
for an increase effective January
Il. Instead, at an Alexandria
hearing a few weeks earlier, they
had sought only a raise in the
price Of cream and permission to
maintain prices which normally
are cut back April /.
Gov. Battle commented that the
commission has broad powers
given it by the General Assembly.
While he has the authority to ap-
point members, he said the oues-
ton OF his removing members has
not been even contemplated in
connection with the present COM
plant.
Democrats Call for Action.
State Senator Charles r. Fen
wick and Delegates j. MAYNARD
Magruder and George Damn. all
Democrats, of Arlington had writ
ten the Governor asking him to
review the action of the commits
sion.
The Democratic Executive Com
mittee of Arlington also has writ
ten the Governor asking that the
order be vacated and that another
hearing be held after the public
has been informed.
Attacks on the Milk Commission
at last years session of the Cen
eral Assembly received the sup
port of the Arlington delegation,
but at least two bills-one to
abolish the commission and an
other to eliminate it's price-flxing
killed in committee.
Price Authority Attacked.
Mr.. Magruder spoke in favor
of these bills before the commit
tee, while Mr.. Damn attacked
from another quarter. Mr.. Damn
suggested an amendment to the
budget bill to eliminate all appro-
priations for the commission.
"The recent action of the COM
mission is incomprehensible to
me-" Mr.. Magruder said today.
This action has not changed any
opposition I had in the past, as
far as its price-fixing powers are
concerned"
Mr.. Damn also struck out at
the price-fixing authority and
concurred with Mr.. Magruder in
the opinion that sanitary regula-
tions for the milk industry prob
ably could be adequately enforced
through existing health laws
