BoneIess Beef Supply
Conserved by Navy
For Men al Sea

The Navy today ordered that no
more boneless beef be served its
personnel in this country in an
effort to conserve the supply for
men at sea.
The action follows the recent re-
fusal of most major packers to bid
on a contract to supply 13 million
pounds of beef to the Army, which
buys for all the services. The Army
has announced it is turning to
foreign markets to supply the need.
Due to the critical beef situa-
tion at the present time and for
an indefinite period, boneless beef
will not be supplied for use in
general mess within the continent
al limits" said the dispatch to all
ships and stations, signed by AS
sistant Navy Secretary John T.
Koehler.
"All quantities of boneless beef
purchased will be consigned to de-
pots for use in ships and all sta
tions outside the United States" +"
it continued.
"An adequate supply of carcass
beef for domestic use is no longer
assured. Effective upon receipt (of
the order). existing stocks of beef
are to be conserved with q view to
utilization over a maximum period
of time"
THE order went on to suggest
that substitutes in good supply
are veal, poultry, seafood, fresh
and smoked pork items, except
pork loins.
While the limitations Of the
order do not apply to ships and
foreign stations they also were
requested to curtail the use of
beef.

Arlington Utilities Taxes
On Real Estate Reduced

Arlington public utilities will
receive lower real estate tax bills
this year.
An 18 per cent increase in as
sessed valuation of utility proper
ties will be more than offset by
this years lower tax rate, which
has been reduced from 1858 in
1850 to $2.75 per $1O0, officials
said.
The tax rate was cut for all
property in the county because
last years reassessment program
increased the evaluation of prop
critics except utilities by approx
mately rs per cent. Utility as
sessments have increased 81 per
cent since 1916
The State Corporation Commits

assessment as $10,886. .691 for 1861.

Prices are lower in nearby

A three-bedroom unfurnished
home may rent for $140. plus the
cost of electricity, water, heat and

was said, row houses or others in
low-cost groups bring rents as
high or only slightly under those
received in more desirable COM
munitieS.

Doctors Drafting Plan
In Attempt 10 Solve
zoning Ban on Offices

Inc montgomery county CoOn-
Gil appeared a step closer today
to solving one of it's biggest zon-
ing headaches-how to permit
doctors Offices in residential A
zones without opening a loophole
for undesirable establishments.
The council yesterday heard
several proposals from the County
Medical Society, the Southern
Maryland Dental Society and an
attorney for three of % Silver
Spring and Bethesda physicians
now illegally maintaining offices
in residential zones.
After the lengthy discussion it
was agreed that the attorney, E.
Austin Carlin of Bethesda, and
the two societies will draw up pro-
posed amendments to the county
Zoning ordinance to be turned
over to County Attorney David
Macdonald within two weeks.
Doctor Availability Act.
DR.. William Welsh, president of
the medical society, said physi-
clans should oe allowed to have
Offices in residential A zones be-
cause close medical care is not
available in many residential
areas. Present zoning regulations,
he added, prevent widespread dis
tribution and availability Of med
ical care.
Under the county Zoning ordi-
nance as it now stands, physicians
may maintain Offices in residential
A zones only if they also live
there.
Twenty-Five Silver Spring and
Bethesda doctors were given evic-
ton orders by the county last May
but were granted reprieve on the
plea of the medical society. The
reprieve now has been extended
indefinitely until the problem is
solved.
Mr.. Carlin proposed that the
Board of zoning Appeals be given
the authority to decide whether
doctors should be allowed to set
up offices in particular residential
sectors. He questioned the con-
stitutionality of permitting ply
sicians' Offices, without allowing
other professional people to do the
same.
DR.. G. B. Clendenin of Bethesda
represented the dental society I'M
the discussion.

The resolution naming three
men to the Financial Advisory

by Mrs. Stella B. Werner, who
said she believes the committee

on it an upper county member and
