School Milk Fund
Runs Dry; No More
For a Penny

Penny milk for District school
children will stop tomorrow.
F, Charles N. Zellers, public
school business officer, told the
Board of Education yesterday
funds under which the District
buys half-pints Of milk for sale
at a penny apiece have been
exhausted. He blamed constant
price increases"
Last year the milk program
lasted until May 9, Mr.. Zellers
recalled. The money. appropri-
ated by Congress, never lasts
out the school year.
Most schools couldn't use the
milk after early May anyway,
because they don't have ade-
quate refrigerators, Mr.. Zellers
pointed out.

Trash, Sewage
Fees Face Rise
In Maryland !
Sanitary Commission
Expected to Agree on
Higher Rotes Today

Increased traSh-c ollie tion
charges and a new sewage flow
charge based on water-meter
readings for suburban Maryland
residents is to be considered to-
day by the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission.
Indications are that agreement
on the new rates may be reached
at the meeting with a public an
nouncement due, probably to-
morrow. Some 10000 residents
in the suburban areas of Mont
gomery and Prince Georges
Counties will be affected by the
Commissioners action.
It was reliably reported that
the commission was to consider
hiking the trash collection
charge for 10000 property own
ers in Montgomery County about
90 cents a month. Residents now
pay $1.65 a month for the serv-
Ice, but the commission reported
at the recent General Assembly
session it was going considerably
In the red on the operation.
Higher Water Rate.
Also reported for consideration
was an extra IA cents per 1000
gallons of water used as a sewer
charge. The residents in the
sanitary district now are paying
II cents per 1000 gallons of
water consumed.
Commission Engineer Harry B.
Shaw said today the commission
is required by law to levy sewage
charges on the basis of water
consumption. Mr.. Shaw and
other spokesmen at the commits
sion, however, refused to confirm
or deny the rates repeatedly
being considered.
Commission spokesmen last
January, when it was disclosed
that an extra sewage charge was
being considered, said it was
aimed at relieving the sewage
cost burden from some 5000
water consumers who are not
connected with the sewage
system.
Oppose Water Meter Plan.
Some residents oppose a sew
age charge based on water meter
readings on grounds that all
water taken into the home does
not again pass through the sew
age system. They point out, for
example, that many thousands
of gallons are used in summer
for watering gardens.
Mr.. Shaw said the water con-
sumption system of sewage as
sesSment is widely used in this
country.
The commission last Tues
day informed the Montgomery
County Council it wanted to
maintain its present 10 cent tax
rate for payment of bonds and
planning and maintenance of
the storm drainage system. The
recent reaSSeSsment in the sub
urban area is expected to in
crease the sanitary districts as
sessable base from about $611
million to 1927 million.
Bond Issue Authorized.
Residents also pay a 'front.'
foot benefit rate ranging from
IA cents to 33 cents for con-
struction of water and sewage
lines. The commission, which
has an estimated bonded in
debtedneSS of $75 million, was
authorized by the General As
sembly this year to issue $11
million more in bonds.
The effective date of the new
rate and increased tax-collection
charge is not known at this
time. Last January, however,
commission spokeSmen said the
sewer charge would be retroac-
tive to January l, when it was
established.

minute in Alexandria where Mrs.

the city Democratic Committee,
filed aaginst Delegate Armistead
L. Boothe. She placed her petit
ton in the hands of Democratic
Chairman Thomas Moncure at
11:25 pm.
Arlington County Republicans

posed by Delegate Charles N.

But Attorney General j. Lind
say Almond, jr., IS unopposed for
denomination by the Democrats.

candidates for the higher Offices
at State convention.
Lack of a third candidate for
any of the Statewide Offices
means that there will be no run
off primary this year.

ment in Alexandria, where a

City Heads Visit
White House on
WorksProgranl
Have No Comment
On Result of Talk
With Adams Aide

The District Commissioners
today discussed their 1895 mil
lion public works program with
White House aide Chales F. Will
lis, jr., for IS minutes but at the
end of their conference had no
public comment to make.
The city heads kept an II am.
appointment with Mr.. Willis,
special assistant to Presidential
Assistant Sherman Adams, in an
effort to get President Eisen-
hover interested in supporting
the works plan. The three Com
missioners were accompanied by
John A. Reilley, chairman of a
special citizens committee which
helped draft the works program,
and two other committee men,
bers. Joseph C. McGarraghy and
Richard P. Dunn.
At the close of the talk, Com
missioner Samuel Spencer would
say only that the works program
was the subject of discussion but
that he "is unable to tell what
the conversation consisted of at
this time"
Business Group Opposed.
Earlier the District Federation
OF Businessmen's Associations
had asked the White House to
defer taking a stand on the pub
lie works program until the busi-
nessmen get chance to explain
their own plan.
Benjamin Striner, the fedora
tion's Fiscal Relations Committee
chairman, asked leave to "pres-
ent the, shortcomings" of the
Commissioners program. Mr.
Striner added that the fedora
ton has "a number of serious
objections" to the works pro-
posals as they now stand.
Mr.. Striner's chief objections
are to the proposed increase in
water rates and the imposition
of a sewer use charge. He said
these levies are an unnecessary
burden" and a "forerunner OF
continuously higher taxes"
In addition, he said, the fed
Grafton objects to certain indi-
vidual projects now included in
the program.
Federation Proposals.
Where the Commissioners plan
calls for tax and service charge
increases, as we'll as obtaining
$110 million in Federal grants
and another $110 million in Fed
eral interest-free loans, the busi-
nessmen propose:
l. Combining the water, sewer
and Washington Aqueduct oper-
ations for fiscal purposes and
borrowing $100 million over the
eight-year-period to finance i'm
provements in all three.
2. Getting the entire commun-
ity behind a Senate introduced
bill for a fiat increase in the an
nual Federal payment to the Dis
trict from its present 8-plus
per cent of the total city budget
to IS per cent.
3. Eliminating some of the
current cost of local govern
ment by such means as placing
Rock Creek Park and the Zoo
under Federal budget control.
establishing a ceiling on the
charge to the District for pa
tients at St. ElizabethS Hospital
and withholding authority from
the Commissioners to order
bridge construction across the
Potomac unless Virginia shares
the cost $3.50.
The federation is made up
of some 40 businessmen groups
scattered over the city. They
are organized on neighborhood
basis similar to the citizens as

al of prophylactic vending ma
chimes from public places.
"The diSreputable prophylactic
vending machine is picking up

business" readers of Catholic
Men were warned in the October
issue of the National Council of
Catholic Men publication.
Men in communities throughout
the US. were urged TO: Consult
your pastor: form a committee;

have a good lawyer check any
state or municipal law which may
already be on the books. Report
your facts to the proper authori-
ties and ask for appropriate ac-
ton. If there is no adequate law
start working for one at once"
The magazines said that the
machines, once seen in out-of-the-
way places. have now begun to ap-
pear much more frequently and
prominently in public places such
as filling stations and taverns.
"The vendors are doing all right
fer themselves-but as far as God
basic Christian morality and com
mon decency are concerned, they
are doing all wrong" the magazine
stated. "This contemplate perver.

should be stopped. And 1t is ur

Ole charities for the Duluth, Mimi,
Diocese, who himself witnessed
two attacks on Yugoslav priest
by what he called "goon squads. +"
The Yugoslav priest was Father
Pavel Pozza, rector of Dubrovnik
cathedral.
Father Larkin, who went to
Yugoslavia on tour conducted BY a
German tourist agency, said his
fears were based on opinions ex-
pressed sy several informed per
sons with whom he talked there.
Their statements contradicted re-
ports published abroad that Mar
shal Tito had become concerned
over the bad impression made
throughout the world by increas-
ingly severe attacks on the Church
and had ordered a halt TO outrages
against the clergy which have be
come more severe in recent weeks,
Father Larkin said he believed
the attacks on Father Pozza were
inStigated to keep him from his
post in the Dubrovnik cathedral
during an expected visit by Brit
ish ViSeounf Bernard Montgomery,
deputy commander-in-chief of the
North Atlantic Pact forces.

Many priests are still imprison.
ed, among them 80 from Bosnia

ported He. said lac was told that
the priests in prison are always
given the meanest and hardest
tasks and the poorest treatment.
Father Larkin went on to give a
detailed account of the attacks on
Father Pozza, a priest of Italian
descent. The attacks occurred both
when he was boarding and disem-
barking from the ship on which
the Dubuque clergyman was tray
cling.
He related that when the ship.
which was on a voyage from Split

heard sounds of eommofion and
then saw Father Pozzs, and priest
who was accompanying him, as.

Father Larkin said that when

ing the ship, he was greeted with
blows and insults by some of the
passengers. One of the ships Off

priest to the captains quarters,
where he remained sheltered until

them to launch a nationwide cam
paign throughout Greece against

actually call upon the Pope.
At the same time, reports stated
the Serbian Orthodox Patriarch of
fered to finance an anti-Vatican
campaign in Greece. This sugges-
ton recalled the anti-concordat
campaign organized in Yugoslavia
in 1886 against Premier Stoyadin-
ovich and Minister of Interior Kor-

Belgrade had been organized
against it.

permission to talk TO Father Pozza.
At Dubrovnik, Father Pozza was
among the first escorted to the
gangplsnk. AS soon as he had de-
Scended. he was met By another
mob, which pushed him into the
water. When he tried to swim TO
launch anchored nearby, a man
on the launch kept pushing his
head under water. The man final
ly hauled the priest in, only to
start pummeling him vigorously as
he lay prone on the bottom Of the
boat. The boatman finally made off
with the priest in the launch, TAX
ing him to another point farther
down the coast.
i was at this point that uniform
ed policemen came on the scene,
pushing back the crowd that had
gathered along the docks.
Father Larkin said he believed
that the attacks on Father Pozza
were concerted, coordinated as
saults by ~goon squads. and were
not made by the native popula-
tions either of Korcula or Dubroy-
mix
The priest said that the party
of tourists with which he was tray-
elling included five other Amer
leans, all employed by US. mill
tary authorities in Germany. He
said he was wearing lay clothes
while on the tour, but his passport
carried his picture in clerical at

Moral Decline
OF Australian
Literature Hit

SYDNEY, Australia - (NC) -
Much concern is being expressed
in Australian Catholic circles over
the pronounced decline during the
past year in the moral standards
of mass-circulation magazines and
newspapers in this country.
The decline d is attributed 20
competition among several large
publishing groups which are ex-
plotting subjects like sex and crime
in an effort TO boost sales and
profits. Recently one newspaper
hailed the publication of the Kin
sey report on the sexual behavior
of the human female with boasts
that its reports of the book were
"uncensored and unexpurgated."
A sharp rebuke 10 present
trends was administered by Arch
bishop Matthew Beovich of Ade-
laide, who declared that current
surveys into the effects of the of
Tending publications may lead to
the formation of national Catho-
lie group to uphold decency in
print.
Declaring that the widespread
distribution of harmful publica-
tions is a threat to the moral life
of the country, Archbishop Beo-
vich said in an address TO the AIDE
laide Justices Association that the
reading of such publications tends
TO produce ''the attitude that sex
pleasure is the dominant purpose
of life, with a consequent loss Of
respect between the sexes"
