Senate District Group
Meets Today 10 Study
Crime Inquiry Report

The Senate District Committee
is expected to meet late today to
consider its subcommittee report
on Washington crime.
After a brief morning meeting
Of the crime Investigating sub
committee, Chairman Neely, who
also is chairman of the full COM
mittee. said he would try to call
all members into session at $50
pm. to look at the report.
Meanwhile. the subcommittee
staff went to work to reduce the
250-page document to a more
workable size, apparently with in
Structions to retain most Of the
sharp language it now includes.
Action Seen Tomorrow.
If the full committees approval
is given, Senator Neely hopes to
submit the report to the Senate
tomorrow.
! It must be appoved by the full
committee and in the hands of
the Senate by Monday.
Some Senators had expressed
the opinion that the first draft
of the report, prepared by Counsel
Arnold Bauman, was too sharp
and should be toned down. \
I'VE are cutting the report" I"
Senator Nicely said, ''but it will be
a change in volume only"
Asked if the committee was 60
ing through the report page by
page, Senator Nicely replied:
mot page by page, but it is be-
ing carefully considered"
Neely Expresses Satisfaction.
Senator Nicely, who has had
some sharp comments to make
about racketeers and law enforce
ment here during the hearings
expressed satisfaction with the re-
port.
The report recommends setting
up an investigations department
working under the District Com
missioners.
It charges that racketeers have
operated virtually unmolested here
during the last few years, and
makes some strong comments
about law enforcement.

|of gain. support from the city
heads and Congress.
This is where the Citizens Con-
ference-"the voice of the city
will come in: To convince the
responsible officials of the need
for an increase in anti-tubercu-
loSis expenditures.
During the past year the city
spent $3.5 million on its tubercu-
losis program.
Control Program Needed.
Nearly all of this money was
spent to maintain tuberculosis
hospitals and clinics. Only 5 per
cent could be spared for tubercu-
losis control. Yet. public health
officials emphasize that tubercu-
losis incidence can never be re-
duced until a widespread and in
tenSive control program is adopted.
Uppermost among the control
measures are X-ray chest surveys.
"A city-wide survey was held here
in 1948 and many new cases were
picked up. FolloW-up surveys on a
much smaller scale are still going
on, but officials say they aren't
enough. .
DR.. Padgett realizes that perfect
day when there will be funds
enough to X-ray all adults-and
when all adults will cooperate
is a long way off. But he feels
that much of the. disease in the
city's tuberculosis centers" could
be detected by concentrated stop
gap" drives in these highly con-
gested areas.
The worst area for tuberculosis
in the city Is that older section
roughly bounded by Rock Creek
Park, Florida avenue and the Po-
tomac. An increasingly dangerous
area is the Deanwood section In
Northeast.
Health Department officials
know that reduction of tubercu-
losis here will be no easy task. But
DR.. Seckinger. insisting that it can
and must be done. quotes DR..
Wade Hampton Frost, an out
standing tuberculosis expert, who
writes.
1.-THE eradication, of tuberculosis
IFS now an expectation sufficiently
well grounded to justify shaping
our tuberculosis control program
toward this end. We have reached
the stage at, which the biological
balance is against the survival Of
the tubercle bacillus the con-
troll of tuberculosis is within our
grasp"

Crews are being trained to keep
the beach clean of trash and it
is planned to acquire a beach,

In the brief ceremony yester-
day, Nathan L. Smith. director of
the Department of Public I'm
provementS, turned the park over
to Joseph F. Kaylor, head Of the
Department of Forests and Parks.
The national emblem and the
State flag of Maryland were raised
on the two flag poles at the en-
trance.
Gov. McKeldin put a four-page
speech in his pocket because OF
the heat and confined himself to
saying a few words complimentary
to the park.
Then he went out on the bridge
on an impromptu inspection tour.
His automobile was able to go to
the start of the suspension span,
From there he walked on a 10
foot-wide concrete pavement in
the center. This is to be widened
with steel grill sections.
ForegOes Long Walk.
He was informed that he could
walk all the way to the Eastern
Shore but that there were still 3
miles to go. He decided to fore
|go the walk.
The Governor has been critical
of the bridge which was started
by his predecessor, Gov. Preston
Lane. At one time he asked for
a report from the engineers say
ing people had told him there was
something wrong with the struc-
ture. But he seemed quite de-
lighted with it yesterday and his
Ione concern seemed to be whether
the builders would be able tc
finish it for the scheduled open
ing July 30.
He said that President Truman
lon whom he had called at the
White House yesterday morning
had agreed to attend the opening
An assistant to the Governor said
lit was not quite as definite as that
but that they all had reason to
|hope that Mr.. Truman would be
able to attend.

A House District subcommittee

gether.
Efforts to obtain a quorum tc

Diaries Seek
Price Increase,
Cite Labor Cost
Cont Absorb Wage
Roises Otherwise,
Milk Board Is Told
BY WiIIiom A. MiIIen
Star Staff coyyssnond.r.
Sfar Sfaff CoFFsspondonf

RICHMOND. Va, June 26.-
Washington area dairy distrib.
utors today told the Virginia State
Milk Commission they would be
unable to absorb a wage increase
Of $3.50 weekly for their employees
and requested an increase in the
cost of dairy products in the
Washington area milk-shed.
The commission cannot act, I'M
til the Wage Sterilization Board
and the Office of Price Stabiliza-
ton act on requests now pending
for higher wages and higher
prices in the National Capital.
The distributors told the COM
mission today they want to advise
the commission Of the situation
so that it can act speedily.
Labor Costs Cited.
M. H. Burchell. president, Alex
andria Dairy Products Co., told
the commission the labor raise
totals Is per cent on the mini
mum $57.84 weekly now paid
plant employees and 1872 per cent
raise on the base pay of $45.50
paid driver-Salesmen.
He estimated this increase
would raise his company's overall
expenses about 100000 annually.
He pointed out to the commits
sion that Agriculture Department
figures show that profit made in
the Washington area is one of
the narrowest in the United
States. He declared there is no
alternative but for his dairy to
increase it's selling prices by the
full amount of the wage increase
granted employees.
Price Raise Sought.
Maurice v. Dawson, vice presi-
dent, Chestnut Farms Chevy
Chase Dairy Company, told the
commission that because of the
higher labor costs, it is applying
for an adjustment in the price of
milk, cream and other products.
This would be based on 12-cent
a quart increase for milk, with
proportionate increases for other
products.
Mr.. Dawson also cited additional
expenses for employment tax. So
cial security and compensation in
surance. Since the last price
change in October, 1851. he said
freight has advanced 6 per cen3,
gasoline 81 per cent, cottage
lids 10 per cent. glass bottles CAT
per cent and bottle caps 17.2 per
cent.
This witness said that in addi-
ton to these labor and material
increases, I'VE have employees in
other unions whose contracts will
be subject to renewal this summer
and fall and. no doubt, they too
will receive an increase in wages. F"
Earning Total Unavailable.
Gerald J. Glassman, executive
assistant, Arlington County Public
Utilities Commission. failed in an
effort to get detailed earning fig
ures on the dairies. He was ad-
vised by Mr.. Burchell that the
available figures are now before
the WSB and OPS.
Acting Chairman Virgil p. Ran
dolph, jr., of Richmond. who pre-
sided at today's hearing, pointed
out that under Virginia law. GER
tain information furnished by
milk distributors is confidential.
He said the commission could
not make any ruling in advance
and probably would have to con-
suit with the Attorney Generals
ofice. He suggested Mr.. Glass
man obtain this information from
the Federal Government-WSB or
OPS.
The commissions findings given
only the price of milk in Virginia
but an increase would cause a
corresponding raise in the Dis
trict.

This, he says, is somewhat
paradoxical, because tuberculosis
incidence can be reduced.
Although the death rate from
tuberculosis here, as everywhere

health officials feel there are a.

Because Of q stepped-up case-f1nd.

than in 1949. And the District
tuberculosis death rate is still the
second highest among the Ma
