TAG CHECK
OPENED BY
POLICE
Title Certificate Will Be De-
Iivered by Precinct Men,
Ends False Addresses

Beginning today, the Depart
ment of Vehicles and Traffic in
stituted new form of checkup,
designed to guard against fraudu-
lent applications for automobile
tags.
Orders were issued today to
police precincts to personally de-
liver certificates of title Of auto
mobiles, which, in the future, will
be withheld when tags are issued
at the office of the vehicles and
traffic department.
Policemen were directed to only
deliver title certificates to persons
to whom they were addressed. If
delivery is not made in one week,
the police will return the envelope
to police headquarters, with nota-
tiOnS.
The additional checkup, which
only covers future applications for
tags, is designed to prevent per-
sons applying for tags and giving
false addresses.
If the applicant for a title GER
tificate and tags is not known at
the address he gives. police are to
send lookout for the tags, which
will then be recalled.

DONOVAN AIDES
RAP JOHNSON

While the Donovan case rested
in the hands of the National
Labor Relations Board for deci-
sion expected within a few days,
Recovery Administrator Johnson
was the target of caustic criticism
for the statement he filed with
the board and his refusal to
appear personally for cross
examination.
Many believe that the board
not only will hold that General
Johnson's action in diScharging
the NRA union head was i'm
proper, but also will instruct the
recovery chief to reinstate Mr..
Donovan.
This belief was expressed by
E. Claude Babcock, president OF
the American Federation OF Gov
eminent Employees, as we'll as
John N. Finnerty, his counsel.
Another condemnation OF Gen
eral johnson came from the
Joint committee for unity of
Government employees. This group
also criticized Lloyd K. Garrison,
chairman of the board which
allowed the Administrator to file
a statement without compelling
him to make a personal appear
ance, saying:
"This action constituted a
complete reversal of your decla-
ration at the public hearing that
such a statement would not be
acceptable to you.
General JOhnSOn'S refusal
to appear can only be intercept
ed as an unwillingneSS to face
crOss-examinatiOn and inability
to SubStantiate the charges
which he has made. His written
statement cannot be considered
valid testimony by any fair
mind. DOnOvan's efficiency as
labor. adviser was clearly
demonstrated by direct testi-
mOny at the hearing"
This organization adds that the
acceptance of General Johnson'S
written testimony "smacks of dis
elimination in favor of employers
and sets a very bad precedent
for future arbitration"

CIVIC MEET

Members of the Southeast
Business Mems Association will
have a chance to discuss with
the Commissioners their charges
that the Southeast section Of the
city has been denied a proper
tionate share of District improve
ments.
The association may hear from
the city heads today, setting a
second hearing at which the
Southeast citizens 14-point pro-
gram of improvements will be dis
cussed again.
At the previous hearing Com
missioner GotwalS suggested that
civic committees get together on
a bridge program, involving the
proposed new Eastern Branch
bridge at Pennsylvania Avenue.
The matter has never been re-
ported to the Commissioners,
who, it is understood, are a1rang-
ing to include the necessary
items for a new bridge in the
budget year hence. Southeast
business men are anxious to in
clude the bridge item in the

WAR CAFETERIA

RELIEF FUND
Department Welfare Group
Seeks New Location for
Revenue Source

Welfare activities for War De.
partment employees are doomed to
come to a standstill unless Interior
Department officials can find a
new location for the War Depart
ment cafeter.G.
Located in Tempo No. l at
Eighteenth and D Streets North
west, the present cafeteria, which
caters daily to the appetiteS OF
1900 Government workers, must
close its doors August 81 to permit
demolition of the building.
Profit Supplied Fund
Always a profit-making enter
prise. IS per cent of its profits
went, through an agreement OF
many years standing, to the War
Department welfare fund.
The fund, which relied solely
upon it's receipts from the restau-
rant. has been large one and
sufficient in the past to provide
disqualification and medical care
to hundreds of needy Government
employees.
Harold A. Candland, space
allotment officer for Government
buildings, is seeking a place to
relocate the cafeteria, which its
present operators, the Welfare
and Recreational Association, Inc,
declare is badly needed by Fed
eral employees.
Almost all land between the
State, War and Navy building
and the Naval Hospital is owned
by the Government, which pre-
vents any private restaurant from
moving in to care for the leeds
of the employees.
Other buildings chosen for
housing the cafeteria are also
chalked up for early demolition,
so attempts will be made during
the next fortnight to make space
in the Munitions Building by
transferring some office new
located there to another Govern
rIent structure.
Hope to Save Jobs
Should this be done, Capt. F..
w. Hoover, manager of the vel
fare association. points out, none
of the so employees of the pres
ent establishment need be re-
leased. Many of them, too, may
be absorbed by the new Labor
ICC cafeteria when opened up
within a few weeks.
War Department officials mean
time are greatly perturbed over
the necessity of bringing welfare
activities to an abrupt halt.

REALTY TAXES
To DROP HERE

Next months real estate tax
bills are going to be lower for
a lot of property owners and
there will be a general reduction
in assessments.
Assessor William P. Richards
made this interesting announce
ment today and then explained
that the reductions will be
mainly on buildings in the North
west city and suburban areas.
Southeast and Northeast sub
urban and city assessments will
not be reduced, he said, because
there has never been any mark
up in those sections.
The new assessment work is
now winding up and will result
in a total of SLIPS, 100000 to
$1,130,000,000, as against the
present $1,168, 100000.
1t is believed the reduction
will lessen the number of ap-
peals. There we're 5000 appeals
a year ago and 1000 this year.
The last day for appeals is the
first Monday in June.

In practically all parts of the

DISTRICT BANKS
COOPERATING
WITH FIN
Several Local Institutions Are
Authorized to Handle
Modernization Loans

washington banks have been
among the first in the country
to cooperate with the Federal
Housing Administration in its
drive to loosen private credit so
that property owners can obtain
loans for undermining their
buildings, it was learned today
at the headquarters of the hous-
ing agency here.
Several local financial institu-
tons have already been approved
by James A. Moffett, Federal
housing administrator, as being
suitable to handle the loans,
housing officials said.
First Loan in ID. c.
Since the first modernization
loan in the country was granted
to a Washington resident last
Tuesday, many property owners
here have sought to obtain credit
from their banks. In several
cases the arrangements are being
made with the help of the cor
tractor called in by the property
owner to handle the actual
repairs or alterations.
AS spokesman for local bankers,
Robert V. Fleming, second vice
president of the American Bank
ers' Association, today revealed
that State banking groups
throughout the nation have been
requested by his organization to
appoint officials to act as a liai-
son between banks and the citi-
zenS' housing committee being rap
idly set up in all States.
Safety Insured
Mr.. Fleming said:
"The modernizatiOn plan is
considered workable and fair to
both the public and the banks,
and adequate safety for the
banks participation in it is pro-
Vided for.
"The plan will allow private
leding organizations to function
normally in the extension of
this credit. In addition to re-
turning many of the unem-
plOyed to useful and gainful &C.
cupatiOn, this program will pro-
duce great bettermentS by en-
HANGING the value Of properties
and increasing production in all
lines and classes of materials
needed in this work."
