BOARD
CHANGES OFFICES
Merchant Fleet Corp. Also
Transfers Into Old Labor
Building.

Another major shift of Government
offices was under way today. as the
United States Shipping Board Bureau
and the Merchant Fleet Corp. of the
Department Of Commerce, started to
vacate their quarters in the Navy
Building and trek to the old Depart
ment of Labor, at l7l2 G street. Some
AS Government employees are involved
in the move. which has been author
lied by Secretary Ickes and the Ma
tional Park Service The Navy, with
its additional work of building a
number of new warships, needs the
space in its own building to care for
this burden.
Originally the building at l712 G
street was renovated for the National
Recovery Administration, and even
the name of this organization was
placed over its doors. A. E. Demaray,
associate director of the National
Park Service. today explained that
after consultation with Secretary
Roper the NJ r. A decided it pre-
ferred to remain in the Department
of Commerce Building and was will
ing to relinquish its space to the
Shipping Board.
Given New Name.
The new quarters of the Shipping
Board are privately owned, and the
structure will henceforth be known
as the Marine Building.
Preliminary moves of the Shipping
Board began yesterday afternoon un-
der the direction Of the Division OF
Government Space Control of the
National Park Service. 1t is expected
that the move will be completed by
the end Of the week.
In the Navy Department the Ship
ping Board and Merchant Fleet Corp.
have for years occupied some IS 900
square feet of space in parts of the
seventh. eighth and ninth wings.
With today's shift they will vacate
that area entirely and the Navy will
now expand into that space.
Crowded Conditions Relieved.
Naval authorities said that employees
have been working under very crowded
conditions and the release of addi-
tional space to the service will not
mean the taking on of extra workers
to NIL these new rooms.
They pointed out that the Bureau
Of Ordnance particularly is cramped
for space with the rush of additional
work incident to the shipbuilding pro-
gram Other bureaus likewise, they
said, have been demanding more space
for some time and, now that the Ship
ping Board is to move, relief is in
sight.

Exaggerated Fear of Tern,ites
Pointed Out BY u. S. Scientist

According to Or. Thomas E. Snyder,
senior entomologist of the Division OF
Forest Insect Investigations. there is
need of caution against exaggerated
fears" concerning the damage that
may be done to buildings by termites.
without desire to minimize the
damage which may be occasioned to
buildings and contents from termite
attack, especially If long continued"
he said, "it should, nevertheless, be
pointed out that, particularly in the
more temperate zones, termite work
may go on for years without involving
the necessity for extensive repairs or
reconstruction Of foundation timbers
Of flooring. Many instances could be
cited Of old houses dating back to
Colonial times where termite presence
has been known for so years and prob
ably for two or three times that period
without radical injury resulting"
While, as DR.. Snyder pointed out,
termites, once having invaded build
ing will continue their work and ex-
tend their damage slowly or rapidly, it
is Immediately brought to an end by
breaking of the connection between
the building and the external soil
moisture. All the termites in build
ing promptly die and injury ceases
when the termites' waterworks system
Is destroyed. Even after building is
infested by termites the actual dam
age is but slight in many cases and
can be easily remedied.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, August 3.-The
slum clearance project Of the Federal
Government, at least as far as Bal
timore Is concerned, is opposed in a
resolution adopted by three branches
of the realty business here.
The resolutions were passed unan-
imously by the building associations,
home builders and land developers
and investment property owners, &C
cording to C. Philip Pitt. secretary of
the Real Estate Board, and have been
forwarded to Washington.
Protests also have been fled with
Mayor Jackson against the city enter
ing into any agreement with the Fed
eral Government to provide municipal
services for any housing projects Of
the Federal Government unless the
Government is to pay taxes Cor serv-
ice charges) on the same basis as a
private operator.
Cleveland r. Bealmear, a former
president of the local Real Estate
Board, said:
IF the Federal Government is now
to come to Baltimore and provide
housing for even the lowest income
group at less than what it would cost
private capital to furnish such hous-
ing, it is obvious that the Government
will necessarily compete with private
owners for tenants. and at the same
time contribute toward stopping the
present upward trend Of rental rates.

IMPROVEMENT SEEN
IN MORTGAGE RISKS
Banks Help Situation by Adapt
ing Systems to F. H. A. Valua-
ton Rating Systems.

Handling of mortgage insurance APP
plcations has been. materially facili-
tated and the quality Of appraisals
greatly improved over the country
since financial institutions have been
adapting their own systems to the
valuation and mortgage rating systems
of the Federal Housing Adminstra-
ton, according to Acting Administra-
tor Stewart Mcdonald.
The valuation and mortgage risk
rating functions of the Federal Hous-
ing Administration are exercised by
underwriting department stats in
insuring Offices throughout the country.
STAFF members are specially trained
in the principles Of residential valua-
ton and mortgage risk rating as
developed by the underwriting and
realty division of the administration
in Washington, D. c.
Three distinct operations are en-
braced by the underwriting depart
ment. Construction cost estimation,
value estimation, and mortgage risk
estimation. Whenever an application
for mortgage insurance is presented to
an insuring office. an experienced ar
chitectura! supervisor visits the prop
erty involved. There he makes an
estimate of what 1t would cost to
reproduce the improvements in new
condition, makes an inspection Of all
buildings as to their structural sound
ness, fitness as places Of residence.
and their functional efficiency as resi-
dental buildings.

W0MEN'S AID ASKED
IN TAX PAYING DRIVE
Baltimore Collector Points Out
Value of Police, Fire and
Health Protection.

BALTIMORE, August 3.-In an effort
to get. taxpayers to pay their bills
more promptly, Thomas G. Young,
city tax collector, in q radio talk tfis
week urged the women Of the city to
join in the campaign, and pointed out
the advantages in addition to keeping
the tax rate down.
Young declared "the protection
given the women by the well-trained
Police, Fire and Health Departments
is so essential that they cannot afford
to take any chances In having these
services curtailed" through non
payment of taxes.
IF We can, in some way, make the
women realize that the preventive
measures, which are paid for by their
tax dollars, are most important, I am
sure we will be able to enlist their
services in helping to collect sufficient
funds to balance the budget so that
these essential municipal services may
be continued and extended"
THE mere presence of the police
and the activities Of the Health De.
partment," Young continued, do far
more to prevent crime and help the
community than the actual arrests or
cures made"

90 TO SIS DEGREES HELD
BEST FOR KEEPING EGGS
Deterioration Starts Rapidly at
70 Degrees, While Freezing
Develops at %.

The most satisfactory temperature
for keeping eggs on the farm, in the
store, or in the home is below IS
degrees, and preferably between 40
and S. degrees. according to Wade
H. Rice, poultry special for the Uni
versity Of Maryland Extension Service.
He emphasizes the fact that eggs are
just as perishable as meat, butter or
milk and should be protected just as
carefully from the deterioratinGf effects
of heat.
According to q chart which has
just been prepared by Mr.. Rice, eggs
tend to deteriorate very rapidly above
10 degrees and fertile eggs win start
to terminate at SO degrees. On the
other hand, eggs will freeze at 20 de-
grees, hence the most favorable cold
storage temperature Is between ~
and 80 degrees.

When a house Is set back from the

the lighting equipment.
An electric light properly placed will
be of service at night, particularly If
the walk is winding and made of flag

walks are IS" shaped and light is q
great convenience after sunset. An
other light may be placed in such a
