Raises Cited
lin DC. Costs

The main increase in District
expenses since World War II
has come from salary raises for
the city's employees, District Bud
get Officer Walter L. Fowler said
last night.
Outlining for the Chevy Chase
Citizens Association where the
tax dollars are spent, Mr.. Fowler
told the group salaries alone now
exceed the 1943 District budget.
The budget director aimed a
good-natured arrow at the as
sociation's honored guest, Com
missioner David B. Karrick, COM
menting he understood there
might be a further increase in
salaries for District officials. He
referred to Mr.. Karrick's' pro-
posal for 80 per cent increase
in the salaries of District Com
!missionerS made on radio
broadcast Saturday night.
Mr.. Fowler added quickly
however, that he thought the
Commissioners should get larger
salaries.
The citizens group Endorsed a
bill introduced by Representa-
tive Broyhill, Republican of Vir-
glnia, which would set aside
funds for development of a mas
ter plan to control Potomac
River pollution.

Police Force

The Connecticut Avenue Citi-
zens' Association last night called
for Senate passage of the bill tc
increase the District police force
to $500 men.
Members further urged the
District to consider employing
civilians for routine and clerical
duties now undertaken by uni
formed policemen.
Mrs. Noble Robinson, who in
troduced both motions, reported
on the high incidence of crime
in the District and the brighten
ing increase" in traffic deaths.
Discussion of the traffic situa-
ton brought action on two
further points from the group:
l. Support of the Traffic Ad-
visory Committees recommends
ton to adopt a District ordi-
nance against undue horn blow
ing similar to that recently
adopted by New York City.
q A request that diplomatic
license tags designate the coun-
tries to which the plates are
issued. This. the citizens feel,
will help to check general accu-
sations about the careless driv-
ing of diplomats and constant
offenSes by representatives of
particular countries.
The meeting was led by Morris
E. Kanfer in the Cleveland Park
Branch Library, Connecticut ave-
nue. and Macomb street NV.

He suggested that merchants

weapon. he said.
In other business. the Capita

asphalt platforms at bus stops
along New Hampshire avenue

For once, the wool-coated
United States Marines who
have sweltered through many a
Sunset Parade on a scorching
summer day, were the ones to
enjoy Washington's paradox
cal weather yesterday.
1t was the spectators, espe-
cially the distaff side, who
gathered at the Marine Bar
racks parade ground late yes
terday, who had reason to COM
plain about the climate, 1t was
downright chilly: at least cool
enough for fur stoles and light
summer wraps. A few smart
ones wore suits.
The occasion was one of the
Marine Corps special Friday
afternoon parades in honor Of
members of the Inter-Amer-
lean Defense Board and their
wives.
At Rife Matches
Invitations to the parade and
the reception in the garden of
Commandments house after
wards were extended by
the Marine Corps Commandant
and Mrs. Randolph Nice. Pate.
But Gen. Pate was at Camp
Perry. Ohio, awaiting the out
come of the annual inter-serv-
ice pistol and rifle matches
which have already yielded
three national victories for tie
Marines.
Mrs. Pate was assisted in
receiving the guests by AS
sistant Commandment and Mrs.
Vernon Mcgee.
Among the most popular of
the guests there were the
chairman of the Inter-Ameri-
can Defense Board, former
Marine Corps Commandant
Lemuel c. Shepherd, and Mrs.
Shepherd.
For pretty. blond Mrs. Shep-
herd, it was her first appear
ance at a Sunset Parade since
Gen. Shepherd retired early
last year. Now recovered-but
still taking it easy-after a
long illness, Mrs. Shepherd
never looked better" accord
ing to several of their old
friends who greeted her.
Mrs. Shepherd said they
now are settled quietly at Lee
ton Forest. their place near
Warrenton on Lees Ridge, and
that she has to come up to
Washington "for any excite
ment."
Hemisphere Traveller
Since becoming chairman of
the .IADB. Gen Shepherd has
put in quite a bit of travelling.
He returned just a little over
a week ago from a trip to
Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Be-
livia and Panama. Next Fri
day. he leaves again to rep
resent the IADB at the cele-
bration of Chilean Independ-
ence Day. He'll be in Santiago
from September II to 81. Then,

Dulany Completes
Canning Season

The Fruitland, Maryland, can
ming plant operated by John H
Dulany and Son, Incorporated,
completed its 1856 packing season
when it's night shift employees
went home Saturday morning, No
vember II. The canning plant had
been in almost continuous two
shift operation since the first of
May when the packing of aspara-
gus began. At the start of the sea-
son, approximately 325 employees
were at work. The number rose to
ATS employees by the end of the
packing season.
According to A. w. butcher,
Manager of the Fruitland Canning
Plant, the plant processed more
than 100000 pounds of aspara-
gus, Irish potatoes, French style
green beans, lima beans, and
sweet potatoes during its six and
one-half months of operation. In
addition, more than "a millions
of dollars were spent on the Del
Mar-Va Peninsula for raw product,
payrolls, and supplies necessary to
properly process the five vegetables
making up Dulany's pack.
During the months between now
and next May, when the asparagus
season begins, approximately 20
warehouse employees, supervisors,
and maintenance personnel will de-
vote their full time to a complete
overhaul of the plants mechanical
equipment and the shipment of
this seasons pack.
The approximate 100 employees
working in the Fruitland general
offices are Unaffected by this sea-
sOnal showdown.
