6OO,0OOLbs. of ButterPHe Up
In Government sNeorbyHoard

If there are any butter-hungry
Washington housewives. who
have been buying a substitute
for that expensive dairy commod-
ity to keep the family budget
in balance, it may be little
comfort to know there is plenty
of butter on hand.
In fact, there are some 900
pounds idling away in a ware
house just outside the District.
But it is owned by the Govern
ment and can be used only to
help feed school children or
our foreign neighbors.
The butter that has been
tucked away in a room kept at
10 degrees below zero is in the
Merchants Terminal Corp. ware
house in Landover. Md. It has
been accommodating there since
last July and August, when it
was shipped in from Wisconsin.
It is good grade butter. too.
Nothing but the best. 1t would
cost around 70 cents a pound
at the local chain grocery store.
1t cost the Government about
&c cents pound.
While there is enough butter
in storage at Landover to more
than fill every butter plate in
Washington, it represents only

SobeIoff Is Praised
AT Senate HEARING
On His Nomination
By the Assoeioted Press

Judge Simon E. Sobeloff of the
Maryland Court of Appeals was
described as a man of highest
integrity" and an able lawyer at
a hearing today on his nominal
ton to be United States Solicitor
General.
No one appeared in opposition
to him at the hearing before a
Senate Judiciary subcommittee.
The subcommittee, which also
heard witnesses on nominations
of a number of circuit judges,
took no immediate action on the
Sobelof recommendation
Appearing in support of Judge
Sobeloff were Senators Butler
and Beall, Maryland Republicans.
II don't know of any appoint
ment." Senator Butler said,
which has been more warmly
received"
Senator Beall said Judge
Sobeloff has long been recog-
nized as one of the outstanding
lawyers in Maryland"
Every job he has undertaken
he has done WE'LL" he added.
Chairman LANCER, Republican,
Of North Dakota asked Judge
Sobeloff whether his wife were
present. Informed she was not,
Senator LANCER ordered, amid
laughter. that a copy of the
Senators testimony be sent to
her.

a pittance of what the Govern
ment now owns.
Agriculture Department Off
Gals said that from December,
1852. until the end of last month,
403.3 million pounds have been
bought by the Government.
The Government loses very
little butter through spoilage,
officials said. The butter pur-
chase and storage program is
not a static one; instead the
butter is moving into and out
of warehouses at all times.
According to the experts, but
ter will keep at low temperatures
for as long as two years, and
naturally the Government moves
out its Oldest supplies first.
Wooden tubs once were used
to contain butter for storage. but
no longer. 1t was found that,
over long periods, the butter abb
sorbed a flavor from the wood.
Now cardboard cartons are used.
and each carton contains an
average of IS pounds of butter.
incidentally. the butter pur-
chase and storage wouldn't have
been possible a few years ago.
1t became practical only after
the construction of low-tempera-
ture storage plants throughout
the country.

tor said Frederick E. Ives, 25, a

shot himself.
Later, at the hospital, Mr.. Ives
told a doctor the shooting oc-
Cured accidentally while he was
cleaning his gun. Police said

President Gets Bill
To Create 80 New
Federal Judgeships

The White House has been
sent bill for the Presidents sig
nature which would create 30
new Federal judgeships. includ-
ing a third judge for the over
worked Eastern district of Vir-
ginia.
The measure was passed by
both branches of Congress as a
compromise to varying versions
approved by the chambers last
year. The Senate then had
wanted 80 new judgeships; the
House, 26.
Approval Expected.
The Virginia judgeship is one
of 81 new U. S. District Court
seats authorized in the measure,
which is expected to be approved
by President Eisenhower.
The Eastern District of Vir-
ginia's two judges now are AL
bert V. Bryon, who lives in
Alexandria, and Sterling Hutche-
son, who makes his headquarters
in Richmond.
They hold rowing assignments
between Alexandria. Richmond,
Norfolk and Newport News. The
new judge is expected to make
his headquarters in Norfolk.
The judgeship bill was passed
by the House first after House
Majority Leader Halleck, Repub-
lican, of Indiana. made a strong
plea for the compromise. He
said bar associations had APP
pealed for action on the meas
ure so new judges could begin
work on the backlog of cases.
In the showdown, it passed
the House without objection be-
cause the opposition could not
obtain enough votes to force a
recorded vote.
Criticizes Long Vacations"
The measure then went
through the Senate by a voice
vote after Chairman LANCER of
the Judiciary Committee served
notice that too many and too
long vacations by some Federal
judges are being studied very
fully"
Chairman LANCER told his Sem
ate colleagues he couldn't see
why some judges should take
vacations of lover three months"
in the summer. as we'll as vaca-
tons at Christmas and Easter.
In addition to the new Judge
ships, the bill would permit Fed
eral judges to retire at IS years
of age and after serving IS years.
1t also would retain the present
provision allowing full-pay resig-
nation or retirement at age 70
after serving 10 years.

Commissioners Spur Aides
On Indignation Reports

The Commissioners yesterday
spurred District government
agency chiefs who have failed to
file reports on progress toward
ending racial segregation in
their offices.
The reports were ordered last
November. While the agency
heads were given a o-month
deadline to get them in, only
five had been filed as of yester-
day. The Commissioners have
issued orders against racial dis
elimination in municipal offices
and institutions.
Offices reporting are civil de-
Tense, insurance, licenses and
inspections. vehicles and traffic
and general administration. All
merely pointed out that there
has been no racial diScrimina-
ton in their offices in the past
and none exists now, con-
sequently the anti-discrimina-
ton order is being complied with.

PeaceC Cross
Flood Project
Is Extended
Levees Must Protect
RiverduIe, Engineers
Explain to Senators

Army engineers today told a
Senate Appropriations subcom-
mittee that the Anacostia flood
control project has been ex-
tended to help protect a new
real-estate development at Riv-
erdale. Md.
Testifying before the Civil
Functions Subcommittee, the Of
ficers said the total cost of the
whole f1ood-control project. in
Guiding Peace Cross at Bladens-
burg, has been increased from
SIS million to $8.311.800.
Part of this increase is due
to increased costs and extension
of the levee to protect the new
Riverdale development.
Cites Maryland Contribution.
The witnesses. Brig. Gen. C. H.
Chorpening and Col. Arthur D.
Starbird. of the Army Engineers,
explained that Maryland already
has made available over SIS mill
lion to proceed with it's part of
the cost.
The officers appeared to ex-
plain the 81 million of United
States funds included in the
Presidents budget for construc-
ton of the f1ood-control project
at Peace Cross in Bladensburg.
They will be followed later by
other witnesses.

mission, the State Roads Com
mission. the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission and the Prince Georges

All of these bodies are now
Republican-controlled and are

Sanitary Unit Seeks
PSC Right 10 Rule
.0n New Rate Plans

The Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission announced
yesterday that it is seeking leg
iSlative action at Annapolis to
permit the Maryland Public
Service Commission to review flu
ture Sanitary Commission pro-
posals for new rates prior to
their adoption.
The measure. drafted by Ar
thur c. Keefer. the Sanitary
Commissions general counsel.
would permit the utility agency
to request such review. but would
not make it mandatory.
Will Ask PSC Review.
Mr.. Keefer, however, said that
if the plan is approved the pres
ent Sanitary Commission would
make it a policy to ask the PSC
to study future water and sewer
rate requests and that it would
abide by the PSC rulings. He
added he could not speak for
future commissions.
At present. under the law
which established the bi-county
sanitary commission in 1918, the
Public Service Commission is
authorized to review the rates
only if asked to do so by a tax
payer.
It was such a request by Will
lard A. Morris. president of the
Allied Civic Group of Silver
Spring. that led the PSC to re-
view rate increases the sanitary
commission ordered last year.
After a public hearing in July,
the PSC upheld the commission
new rates announced the previ-
Gus April.
Since then, the Allied Civic
Group has sought review of all
requests for rate increases,
whether asked for by a taxpayer
or not. .
Two Senators Get Plan.
Drafts of the proposed law
were submitted to State Sena-
