Eyes-Leaues With $4a..

The next time a strange woman
waves at Charles Guion you can take
his word for 1t that, no matter how
beautiful she may be, he's going to
look the other way and keep right
on driving.
For Guion, who is 80 and lives at
1898 Ingleside terrace, learned thing
or two about women from ravishing,
black-eyed senorita early today, and
the lesson cost him $43.
Guion was driving along Connecti-
cut avenue about l2:45 am. when
he discovered the senorita. She was
standing near the intersection of Gar
field street-waiting for a street car
and she flashed Guion a smile as he
passed. He glanced back and she
waved.
She was beautiful" Guion said.
Even in the dim light of the street
lamps 1 could see that. I turned
and pulled up to the curb and she
climbed in beside me-
She was about %. about S feet
inches tall and weighed about 125.

DONOVAN LOSES
OPENING BATTLE
Labor Advisory Board Refuses to
Intercede for His Rein
statement.

John Donovan, ousted president of
N. R. A. Local, No. 81, American Fed
Grafton of Government Employees, to-
day lost his fight to have the Labor
Advisory Board intercede in his behalf
and reinstate him as clerk and
labor adviser in that organization.
Two committees. one representing
the union and the other speaking for
a group of technical workers in the
Advisory Boards office, presented Pc
tltions in Donovan's behalf Both
groups insisted the charges OF inefh-
cheney and insubordination were not
we'll founded and that Donovan was
removed by Gen. Hugh s. johnson
because of his union activities.
The board held it was without
Jurisdiction to act in the case.
Even before the disappointment oc-
casioned by the boards attitude, union
spokesmen had doubted their ability
to force any action. This doubt was
based upon the recommendations OF
DR.. Leo Wolman. chairman. and Dr.
Gustav Peck, who acted as chairman
in Wolmans absence, that Donovan
be dismissed. Both officials have sup
ported Gen. Johnson's action.
No announcement was made OF
what steps the union will take, but
it was indicated the fight has just
started"
Already the American Federation
OF Labor has been asked to take part,
and E. Claude Babcock, president OF
the National Federation, is expected
to be asked to bring pressure to bear
to force Donovan's reinstatement
The union has already collected a
large sum to carry on the battle

Owners of additional land needed
for the proposed jefferson Junior High
School, in Southwest Washington, to-
day declined to sell the property for
$l05 900, the total appropriation made
at the past session of Congress
At a conference with Commissioner
Hazen this morning, George E. Sulli-
van, attorney for the property owners
suggested the owners would be willing
to sell a portion of the site for the
sum appropriated. Commissioner Ha-
zen said he would seek legal advice
as to whether such a compromise
legally could be entered into. The point
raised was whether Congress had in
tended that the entire remainder OF
the site still in private ownership must
be purchased within the limit of the
appropriation before any of the LAND
could be bought.
If it is found this cannot or should
not be done. it is expected the matter
will be allowed to rest until Congress
returns. Engineer Commissioner Johr

Greatest Number of Applicants
Unskilled Laborers, 53.76 of
Total Being Colored.

The number of families subjected to
District relief was reduced by 1,70s
net during May. according to a
statistical report made today to Elwood
Street, welfare director, by Leroy A.
Halbert, relief research director. At
the start of May there were 26.376
cases on hand and the figure on May
81 was 24,668.
During that month 2,845 cases we're
added to the relief roster, but during
the same period 1853 other cases were
taken of the rolls, as families became
self-sustaining or became ineligible for
relief for other reasons.

of $16.86 per case, while l0,398, en-
ployed on work relief projects. received
S388,975.93, or an average of $37.4l
per case during the month. Some Of
the cases received both direct and
work relief, this explaining the diff
ference in the totals on relief in May.
Most Applicants UnskiIled.
The analysis by Halbert shows the
greatest number of the persons apply
ing for relief during May we're classi-
fed as unskilled labor. Out of ,586
applications studied, 63l, or ~ per
cent, were found in this class, 22-2
per cent of the total being white and
53.7 per cent being colored The study
showed that of the applications ana

Commissioners Approve A.

PLEA FOR OPEN MIXING
BARS Is TURNED DOWN
Adopt Policy Against Setting
Aside Any Section as a
DRY Area"

Change in the hour for stopping the
sale of bottled liquors and beer from
10 pm, to midnight was approved to-
day by the District Commissioners or
recommendation by the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board The amend
ed regulations will go into effect after
the change has been advertised for
five Gays.
The city heads at the same time
formally rejected a recommendation
from the A. B. c. Board that the reg
ulations be amended to permit the
mixing of drinks and the drawing OF
beer at service bars within the view
of customers. This action was fore
cast yesterday in statements made by
Commissioners Hazen and Allen.
Reject DRY Area" Plea.
In a third decision today the Com
missioners adopted a policy against
setting aside any section of the Dis
trict as dry area" acting on plea
from residents from Takoma, D. C..
that the Commissioners adopt a
blanket rule against the granting OF
any licenses there. The Commission
ers directed the A. B. C. Board to
pass judgment on pending applica-
tions affecting the Takoma section,
treating each individually on its own
merits.
This Is the second time regulations
for the hours of sale of bottled liquor
have been hberaliZed. Originally, the
sale of bottled liquor was stopped at
pm Some weeks recently this was
changed to 10 pm when closing time
hours were revamped in the interest
of uniformity"
The change today was proposed by
the A. B. c. Board in the belief bet
ter enforcement of the rules could be
obtained Establishments holding Ion
sale" licenses are permitted to serve
drinks until am. except on Satur-
day night. liquor sales on Sundays be-
ing prohibited by law.
Oppose Bars in Open.
Commissioner Allen yesterday de-
clared himself unalterably opposed to
permitting the operation of service
bars in dining rooms, hotels and res
taurants, in the same room where
customers we're served. He believes
the granting of such provisions would
only bring succeeding demands fol
permission to serve drinks at par:
and might lead to a return to old
time saloon atmosphere, which he be-
lieves President Roosevelt does not
want.
The proposal to do away with
"hidden service bars was based on
the idea that some dealers are not
serving the grade of liquor ordered
by customers and that certain in
sanitary conditions now are possible
which would be minimized under a
system of open mixing of drinks
1t may be some time before the A.
B C. Board takes action on applica-
tons for permits for the sale OF
bottled liquor and beer at stores OF
business streets in Takoma The
question has been heatedly debated
for three months by opposing groups
of the area.

INTERIOR BUILDING
SITE DESIGNATED
Ickes Announces 2 Blocks
Between c and { and
18th and 18th.

Secretary Ickes has designated the
two blocks bounded by c and E streets
and Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets
as the site for the new Interior De-
partment building, which he says will
be the last word in modern construc-
tion.
The site lies just south of the present
Interior Building, with Rawlins Park
intervening.
Preliminary plans have been drawn
out of a $2,490 P. w. A. allotment
made some time ago but Secretary
Ickes was advised by officials yesterday
that he is likely to be disappointed in
his desire to make a new record in
building speed for such a structure.
Land to Be Acquired.
Instead of being able to go ahead
at once" as he had announced earlier
he was advised that it would take
anywhere from to 19 months" At
any rate, an early start will be made
to acquire the privately-owned land
in the two blocks. A good deal of the
o4OC 10 OWACo anu ONSdRlCN ny bLlC
Government.
There has been talk of reserying
these two blocks for the proposed new
War and Navy Building, but that
structure now must be built elsewhere.
Owners of property on the new In
terror site will be given an opportunity
at once to sell to the Government at
fair and reasonable market value, -
otherwise. Ickes said, condemnation
proceedings will be filed by the Justice
Department.
Some time ago Secretary Ickes an
nounced that the cost of the new
Interior Building would be SIC, 0,000, 900.
He said yesterday, however, the plans
have not progressed far enough to
warrant announcement of the cost. II
undoubtedly will be built from P w. A
funds.
Structures on Site.
The site which is to be taken over
eventually is now occupied by several
wartime structures. including the old
Food Administration Building The
National Parks Service, the Army and
the Labor Department have quarters
in some of these buildings which are
to be razed.
Secretary Ickes is moved to push
plans for the new building by reason
of the congestion in Government office
space. When the buildings now under
construction by the Government are
occupied, he pointed out, the taxpayers
will still be paying almost 81, ,0O0, 900 in
annual rental for outside space.
He plans to make the new Interior
Building air-conditioned throughout.
