A plunge from a fifth-floor win

caused the death of Miss Minerva

Plainly, the steel industry has already
entered into boom stage. 1t is not on the
edge. It is there.
Just as plainly, there is at present no symp-
tom or sign of the end of the steel boom. We
may know that some day the end will come.
We do not know when. We do know that it
will not come for several months-always
making the usual allowance for labor and
politics.
This general situation, I think, explains
much of the recent reaction in steel stocks.

recommended l8 months ago the up
ward reallocation Of the salary Of the
penal director because OF the lin
creased complexities" Of the Job. He
cited the fact that in recent years,
since the District was required to con-
fine at Lorton hardened criminals of
type previously sent to Federal
prisons, 1t had been necessary to build
walled inclosure. This broke down
to large degree the honor system"
on which the reformatory originally
had been founded.

Street also said the penal director
Of the District has more prisoners
under his charge than any Of the Fed
eral prisons and that a larger appro-
priatlon was necessary for the opera
ton Of the reformatory, the work
house and the Jail than was required
for any Of the Federal prisons except
Leavenworth, Kans
Other District officials explained
that new salary ALLEGATION approved

HUFF IS SWORN IN
ASD.C.PENAL HEAD
Prison Bureau Official to As
sumo His New Position
on June |.

Ray L. Huff, parole supervisor for
the Federal Bureau OF Prisons, today
accepted appointment as general su-
perintendent Of District penal insti-
tutions and took the oath Of office
at the Board Of Public Welfare.
He will assume his new duties June
l or shortly thereafter, depending on
how soon he completes his work in
the Justice Department, it was an
nounced.
Huffs acceptance was submitted to
the Commissioners after the Civil
Service Commission had approved a
reallocation Of the post, raising the
salary grade, now ranging from s. 900
to $500, to the next highest step,
$500 to $7,500
District officials revealed that such
a reallocation had been requested IS
months ago by the Welfare Board
and had been approved at the time
BY the District Personnel Board and
the Commissioners. It was sent to
the Civil Service Commission for ap-
proval in connection with the recon-
mendation Of the Welfare Board for
the appointment Of Harold E. Donnell,
Maryland prison head. The Com
missioners then decided to retain
Capt. M. M. Barnard in service and
the Civil Service Commission was
asked to lay the salary request aside
for later action, according to District
Auditor Daniel j. Donovan.
Change Made Today.
When Maj. Donovan returned to
work last week. after an extended
sick leave, he asked the Civil Service
Commission to act on the old pro-
posal and approval of the change was
announced today.
In his letter OF acceptance, HUFF
told the Commissioners:
In this appointment I believe that
much weight must be given in recog-
milton Of the prison policies OF Con-
grees and Of the Attorney General, as
they are expressed in the practices OF
the Bureau of Prisons, with which ]
have been associated. These direct q
strictly merit policy to make prisons
serve the community in as wide an
area as Is possible, consistent with
their primary purposes of custody and
rehabilitation.
Il will take counsel under the guild
ance OF the Commissioners and the
Board OF Public Welfare and look
forward to accomplishments which
will be the results of the work OF
the prison staff as a whole.

1T is a great privilege to succeed

SLUM CLEARANCE
PROGRAM UPHELD
Wheat Holds Alley Dwelling
Act Constitutional in
CondemnationS.

Officials Of the District Alley Dwell
ing Authority rested secure today in
the first judicial assurance Of the con-
stitutionality Of their slum clearance
program.
Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat Of
District Court upheld the validity Of
the alley dwelling act late yesterday
IN condemnation proceedings insti-
tuted by the authority to acquire five
houses located on two alleys running
between Eighth and Ninth and E and
G streets southwest.
The American Security & Trust
Co., trustee for three of the pieces of
property. contested the proceedings,
contending Congress was without
authority to authorize the taking of
property for slum clearance. Argu-
ments were heard yesterday afternoon,
Attorney George c. Gertman repre-
senting the trust company and Henry
N. Classic, special assistant to the
Attorney General. appearing for the
authority.
Gertman contepded the purpose OF
the Government in taking the prop
erty was to remodel the houses and
sell to individuals, and that this was
not . public use" He also pointed
out that the alley dwelling act is
intended only to eliminate alley habi-
tations and not to take property
fronting on alleys which is used for
other purposes. The utmost exercise
OF power which should be permitted
therefore, would be to require owners
OF alley property to eject their tenants
and utilize the property in some other
fashion, Gertman asserted
Chief Justice Wheat DISAGREED
however, holding the legislation was
desirable, salutary and in the interest
Of public health.
The Government attorney said the
purpose of the act was ito eliminate
the hidden communities in inhabited
alleys Of the District Of Columbia in
the interest of public health, comfort,
morals, safety and welfare"
This is a legitimate purpose Of the
Federal Government in its function
as the government Of the District.
Classic argued.
