Gals said that from December.
1852. until the end of last month.
4033 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 static one; instead the
butter is moving into and out
of warehouses at all times.
According to the experts, but

for as long as two years, and
naturally the Government moves

Wooden tubs once were used
to contain butter for storage, but
no longer. 1t was found that,

Now cardboard cartons are used,
and each carton contains an

Incidentally. the butter pur-
chase and storage wouldn't have
been possible a few years ago.
1t became practical only after
the construction of ow-tempera-
ture storage plants throughout
the country.

Sanitary Unit Seeks
PSC Right 10 Rule
On 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 fu-
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 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 commissioner
new rates announced the previ-
Gus April.
Since then, the Allied Civic
Group has sought review of ali
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-
tors John r. Fletcher of Prince
Georges County and Anders r
Lofstrand of Montgomery Coun-
ty. Commenting on it, Mr..
Keefer declared:
ut provides that the reason
ableness of all charges made by
the commission shall be deter
mined by the Public Service
Commission in the same manner
and to the same extent as the
reasonableness of the charges
made to consumers by gas. cleo
trio, transportation and other
privately owned utilities in the
State"

President Gets Bill
To Create 80 New
Federal Judgeships

The White House has been
sent a 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-
GINA.
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 q 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 ap-
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 SEN
ate colleagues he couldn't see
why some judges should take
vacations of lover three months"
in the summer, as we'll as vaca-
tionS 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.

of them the latter figure.

Falls Church
Land Propose!
|Upsets Fairfax
Supervisors Want
Hand in Decision
On COMBINATIONS

Fairfax County supervisors
don't think too much of pro-
posed legislation giving Falls
Church outright permission to
condemn land outside the city
limits.
Mindful that Fairfax County
land would be the most likely
target for Falls Church con-
demnation proceedings. the
county supervisors yesterday
urged that the proposed legis-
lation be amended to require
the city to get consent of the
governing body in territory to
be condemned.
Pending in Assembly.
The condemnation legislation
was introduced in the current
session of the General Assembly
at the request Of Falls Church.
The county supervisors in
dorSed a recommendation of AL
bemarle County that the Legis-
lature authorize a special study
of Virginia's educational future
in the event of a Supreme Court
ruling barring school segrega-
ton.
Legislation to authorize estab-
lishment Of a special fund for
replacing schools damaged by
fire was recommended by the
supervisors. in case the county
some day decides this might be
cheaper than insurance.
Get Tax Study.
The supervisors received a re-
port of the tax study commits
sion. recommending new taxes
to increase county revenue. De-
tails of the report were an
nounced by the commission last
week.
More than so motel owners
appeared to protest one of the
commissions recommendations
for 2 per cent levy on transient
rentals. They called the pro-
posed levy discriminatory" be-
cause permanent rentals would
be taxed only l per cent. The
supervisors said they would study
the report. and stated there
would have to be public hearings
on any Of the recommended
taxes before they could be
adopted.

Continued Growth Of
Suburban Areas

Inc rapid growth OF the Wash
ington Metropolitan Area and
the outward push of population
into the suburbs were discussed
by a panel of three Washington
newSpapermen in a review of the
business outlook before the Sill
yer Spring Board of Trade last
night.
Touching on both the area and
national business outlook, a note
OF cautious optimism was sound
ed by Donald B. Hadley, finan-
cial editor of The Star: Alfred
Friendly. assistant managing edi-
tor Of the Washington Post, and
Walter Swanson, promotion off,
cial OF the Times-Herald.
Mr.. Hadley, editor of Wash
lngton Facts & Figures. a Star
publication. reported that the
overall picture for the area at
the end of 1853 was impressive,
despite a gradual moderate de-
crease in employment.
Cites Suburban Growth.
The heavy emphasis of 1853
growth was in the suburbs, espe-
cially in Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties. he said. While
building set new record in the
District, the record was dwarfed
by activity in the Maryland coun-
ties, he pointed out.
He predicted this outward
push of population from the
National Capital would continue
in 1854. He also noted recent
predictions that the worst is over
in Government layoffs and
added: This remains to be
SEEN"
Pointing to utility figures, Mr.
Hadley said that while the Dis
trict lost 5000 telephones in 1853,
Virginia sections gained 6,345
and Montgomery and Prince
Georges gained 10000. The Dis
trict lost ZIG electric customers,
although the Virginia sections
gained 6,184 and the Maryland
counties gained 9,298.
Record District building of s72
million contrasted with S1l2.6
million in the Maryland counties
he added.
Stresses Public Works.
MIR. Swanson emphasized the
Importance of the District public
works.
Surveying the national scene
Mr.. Friendly summarized the
opinion Of number of Govern
ment and business economists
and added: They insist that
we are still in an inventory re-
adjustment and events of the
last six weeks demonstrate it,"
He stated that building up of
production now has outstripped
the consumers demand" and
that. as in the establishments of
1913 and 1949. "it takes some
months to run it's course"
Urging less dependency on an
insulated" economy based on
Government expansion, as in the
past, and more effective mer-
chandizing, Mr.. Friendly as
serted: you have to bid for the
consumer-get out and SELL"
Mr.. Swanson emphasized the
Importance of the District Public
Works Program and said the
attempt to preserve the integrity
OF the central business area was
IN the interest of every BUSH
nessman.
He urged the suburban BUSH
nessmen also to support efforts
OF the Washington Board of
Trade and other organizations
to bring new business and more
tourists to the area.

Congress Gets
City Tax Data
On Works Plan
Revenue Estimates
Provided in Search
For Needed Funds

District officials today sent
a House Senate subcommittee
considering the city's public
works program a voluminous
tabulation of tax estimates to
be studied in the search for re-
venues to finance the program.
The compilation covers the
Districts proposals for raising
taxes by about $40 million, as
well as other tax possibilities
suggested by subcommittee
members.
At an open hearing Monday,
District Finance Officer James
L. Martin gave the members
revenue estimates for most Of
the tax possibilities they sug-
gested. The compilation received
today puts the estimates in
written form for study by sub
committee members in closed
door discussions with the Dis
trict Commissioners tomorrow or
early next week.
Sales Tax Emphasized.
The subcommittee members
discussing possible new tax
boosts put heaviest emphasis on
various sales tax revisions. How
ever. Chairman O'Hara stressed
that all those mentioned are
merely in the talking stage.
The tax increases are only
part of the Districts plan for
financing the works project. In
addition, the commissioners have
proposed a SO million increase
in the Federal payment and
Federal loans totaling about
Sill million over the 10-year
period.
Citizens to Meet.
A meeting of citizens repre-
sentatives to discuss means Of
forestalling increased bread
basket taxes" in the District has
been called for 10 am. tomorrow
by Joseph Kaufman. president
of the Federation of Citizens AS
sociationS.
Mr.. Kaufman disclosed plans
for the meeting during the Com
missioners' Report program last
night over station WMAL-TV.
He said he had invited repre-
sentatives of many large groups.
including the Citizens Fedora
ton. the Federation of Civic As
sociations, and labor. veterans
and Women's organizations to at
tend.
Citizen groups supporting the
works program, Mr.. Kaufman
pointed out, largely have in
dorSed the plan in principle
rather than on its specific tax
financing points. The Citizens
Federation expressly reserved
the right to make tax SUCCESS
tons later.
Substituted for City Heads.
Mr.. Kaufman was one of
three members of the Commits
Sioners' Advisory Council who
took the places of the Commits
sioners on the program. The
others were William E. Leahy,
council chairman. and Jay c.
Turner.
Mr.. Leahy was asked about
the closed sessions held by the
council. He replied by compar-
ing the council to a jury. While
a court hears public testimony,
he pointed out, the jurors retire
to consider their verdict in their
own room.
In this way, he said. a deci-
sion may be reached with jurors
expressing their views freely
without expectation of criticism
or wide publicity.
