City Heads Postpone
Milk Ruling Till Court
Gives Decision on Suit

1he ban on imports Of milk
from dairy farms not inspected by
the District Health Department,
scheduled to go into effect today,
was postponed by the Commis.
sioners.
The Commissioners agreed to
postpone the ban until a case
challenging the regulation in the
U. S. District Court for the Dis
trict Of Columbia is settled.
Embassy Dairy brought the suit
so that it may continue to bring
milk into the District from sources
other than farms inspected by the
Health Department. Judge Mat
thew F. MCGUIRE has the matter
under advisement.
Decision Due This Week.
Corporation Counsel Vernon E.
West told the city heads the de-
cision is expected this week. If the
decision is in favor of the District
government, Embassy is expected
to appeal, which would lead to a
further delay in the ban.
Robert Lynch, attorney for the
dairy. contended in court that the
law permits such milk to be
brought in for processing for sale
elsewhere, adding that such milk
has been sold to the armed serv-
ices elsewhere. He said the dairy
wanted to continue that practice
as well as sell to armed services
units in the District.
Inspected by Maryland.
Mr.. Lynch pointed out the milk
from non-District inspected farms
has come from Maryland where it
has been approved by State au-
thorities as well as the United
States Public Health Service.
The suit was brought by the
dairy after the Commissioners re-
fused to extend the relaxation of
the low. The relaxation was to
meet a milk shortage.
The suit is against the Com
misSioners and the Health Depart
ment. Both argued in court for
dismissal of the suit.

Dupont Circle Group
To Study Resolution
Against Works Plans

The Dupont Circle Citizens As
sociation today will consider a
resolution which opposes several
specific projects and proposed fl
nancing Of a $319 million public
works program for the city.
The 1919 million proposal came
from a citizens advisory commit
tee. headed by Francis Addison
jr., which wrapped into one bun
die six-year plan to make high
way, school, sewer and other i'm
provements. The plan, approved
in principle by the Commissioners,
is being brought up to date by a
committee of city officials.
At an afternoon meeting today,
the Dupont Circle group will take
up q resolution which recognizes
IAN urgent need" for more capital
improvements. The resolution also
finds no quarrel with the idea of
a consolidated financing plan to
meet the needs.
Two Methods for Financing.
Specifically, however, it:
l. Proposes that such a pro-
gram be financed either by Cd q
return to a Federal contribution
of 40 per cent Of the District
budget. or by (2) Federal ad-
vances, one-half Of which would
be repaid by the District in non
interest annual installments.
2. Opposes most of the pro-
posed highway program ION
grounds that 1t is built around
IAN erroneous basic principle not
likely to meet the city's transport
alton problems :"
8. Opposes Addison committee
proposals to help finance capital
improvements with increased wa
ter taxes and a new sewer tax.
(. Questions justification Of
proposed school projects, on
grounds that great savings" may
be realized If the present segre-
gated school system is eliminated.
The resolution says such an elimi-
nation seems most likely in the
next few years."
The resolution was drafted by
Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant III, a mem
ber of as associations Executive
Committee and former chairman
Of the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission. He said
the resolution has been approved
"in spirit" by the Executive Com
mittee.
More Congestion Feared.
One factor involved in opposi-
ton to the highway plans, Gen.
Grant told reporter, is a feeling
that proposed projects would in
crease congestion in downtown
Washington.
The resolution proposed that
first efforts be devoted to getting
a return to the 40 per cent Fed
eral contribution, along with pay
ment Of amounts not actually ap-
propriated while the 40 per cent
contribution law was in effect.
If this is found impracticable,
the resolution said, the requisite
funds (should) be obtained by
advances from the Federal Gov
ernment, without interest, one
half to be repaid in limited an
nual installments, as authorized
now by the Capper-C Champion Act
Of 1880 for the purchase Of parks
and Fairgrounds"
