up the peak production expected
in June is for everyone of our
more than three million Virginia
residents TO drink Just one more
glass of milk a day. OF course, he
continued. there are many good
reasons for drinking milk other
than its abundance. Government
nutritloniSts point out that our
greatest diet deficiency is in cal
cium. and no food SO richly yields
calcium as milk. "
While the Dairy Month Com
mittee in Virginia is chiefly con-
cerned with the campaign at a
state level, it called attention also
to some pertinent facts at the
national level. as reported by the
National Dairy Council. a non
profit research and educational
agency for the U. S. dairy indus
try According to the council,
Americans consumed about ass
pounds of dairy foods per person
during 1852 In terms of indivi-
dual dairy food products, the per
person consumption of whole milk
and cream was up 1870 over pre-
war years, the purchase of cheese
hit an all time high. ice cream
consumption per person is more
than twice what it was in 1920.
Mix and milk products contri-
buted to our nations total food
supply more than one-fourth of
the protein, three-fourths of all
the calcium, almost half the ribo-
flavin, one-fourth the fat, and
over Is per cent of the Vitamin
A. The council states further that
maintenance of milk production is
essential to insure adequate supply
for our growing population be-
cause Of the overall nutritive
value Of milk, and the efficiency
and economy of the use of farm
land for milk production as COM
pared with the production of other
animal food products.

Samuel B. Lewis. jr., colored,

the corridor outside his apart
ment and kicked in the head.
Lewis was arrested when he
leaped upon Lewis Manning, ST.

and was beating his head on the
pavement. officers who had been
watching the section rushed up
with drawn pistols.
The victim who lost his eye
was Stephen L. Pearson, So, OF

followed home and attacked from
behind as he was about to enter
his apartment.
Lewis had been attached to

Bridge and Bypass
AT Annapolis Slated
To Open Monday
By the A.,oeioted Press

BALTIMORE. June 1.-THE
State Roads Commission said
yesterday that if the weather
continues to be good, the new
Severn River bridge at Annapolis
can be opened for traffic Monday.
The commissions chief engi-
neer. William F. Childs, said
weather bad enough to make it
impossible for work to continue
for the rest of the week is the
only thing that. could prevent a
Monday opening. Also to be
opened Monday is a temporary
bypass for through traffic around
Annapolis, using the bridge and
temporary interchange where
the bypass connects with Ritchie
and Revell highways north OF
Annapolis.
Plans call for a four-lane
speed bypass to replace the
temporary setup to carry U. S.
so traffic around Annapolis from
the Washington Annapolis Ex-
pressway to the Chesapeake Bay
Bridge.
The temporary bypass ex-
tends from the east end of the
Washington Annapolis Express
way at Parole and utilizes over
hauled county roads to get to
the Severn Bridge. At the east
end Of the bridge, two temporary
bridges over the Baltimore and
Annapolis Railroad connect it
with Ritchie and Revell High
ways.

Simpson to See Kearns.
Chairman Simpson of the
House District Committee indi-
Gated he is agreeable to follow
the wishes of the departments.
but he reserved a decision until
he could confer with Mr.. Kearns.
After all. it is his bill, "he said,
referring to Mr.. Kearns as the
sponsor and as chairman of the
House subcommittee in charge.
The Senate bill is a compro-
mise between the mo more than
eight per cent" stand taken by
the Budget Bureau and the Is
per cent Kearns bill.
The cost to the District is es-
timated at $2.7 million as against
the $3.3 million cost of the

The Senate bill would start
rockies at $4,000 a year, instead
OF the Kearns plan for $4,000.
