TURNING ON THE HEAT is
A HEADACHE" FULMER

Fall weather brings additional headaches for the
management office, according to O. Kline Flmer as
s1stant manager. It is all over the question Of
Wnen to turn on the heat.
I'VE would like to explain the unique position in
which the Management Office is placed in this re-
gard, Ar. Fulmer said.
"When the fall days approach and the temperature
drops to S. 60 degrees at night but goes up to
80 in the daytime, it is extremely difficult to now
what to do. We have made various checks in dwelling
units and find that if the outside temperature is
IS or 80 during the day. the inside temperature
not drop below 70 at nj ght during this period. How
ever, the changeable weather is quickly noticed by
US all because it is such wide variance between
the day and night time temperature. As far as the
Management Office is concerned, would be del CHIT
ed to turn the heat the first Of September and
leave it on until June /; however, it might be I'M
fortunate when add the cost of heating for that
season and find that had overstepped budget.
Therefore, faced with the problem Of trying
to conserve Your money that give you ade-
qate service and heat for the rent that Is being
charged. Also do not want anyone to undergo any
hardship in not having sufficient heat in the dwell
ling units.
"Uhen the heat is turned on in the basement
valves. though the individual radiators not
opened, there is considerable heat loss and added
cost in maintenance. Therefore, get the most ef
ficient use of oil, would Like to not open the
main valves until feel that want to leave them
all winter.
NIT takes two full day to turn on all the
heating valves in the Easements. Last year, in
der to oil, turned the valves and off
several times until the weather. decides to stay cold.
I'VE are writing this so that you Will appreciate
our position and hope you Will realize that any
slight discomfort you may occasion this regard Is
only in the interest Of spending your rent money In
the most efficient manner possible. AS said be-
fore, We have recording thermometers in several
houses and attempt to arrive at decisions scie-
tifica1ly However, most of the families who call
up and ask for heat Inform that they have
Thermometers in their living to enable to
check the inside temperature at various timess
NE thank all Of Greenbe1t residents for their
cooperation in this natter and are taking this op-
portmity Of explaining in detail the problem rela
tive to turning the heat in the fall months"

Drug stores and to answer custonrs' questions was.
held in the Theater Monday afternoon Of this week.

Services, Led the d DISCUSSION. Mr.. beavers there
to answer special questions about the Drug Store,
which he manages. Between 30 and TO- mostly house
wives, attended the meeting.
Mr.. Laakso welcomed the opportunity to settle in
public rmors and misunderstanding which have been
prevalent in Greenbe1t concerning the stores, es-
pecially since the present will become the
when the stores rganized as operatives
in November. He opened the meeting by reading Pc
tition which independent committee If citizens had
drawn up. It was signed by Mr.. and Mrs. Richard W.
Cooper, Anne c. Hull Mr.. and Mrs. John P Murray,
Mrs. Nathan H. Schein and Mrs. Lyman "oodmn.
The petitioners asked if all employees we're &C.
quadnted with the cooperative ideals, and whether
relationships between employer and employee were
cordial and oDen. They wished to know how wages and
hours compared with those in Washington, and whether
work was carried in broken continuous shifts.
Regarding the Drug Store they asked whether more
clerks might be taken on and whether more products
recommended by consumer organizations might be
stocked
Mr.. Laakso said employees encouraged to at
tend conferences and to take study COOP
eratives. It is hard, however, to find clerks Who
know merchandising and who in addition understand
coopera tives. Employees who have grievances feel
free to discuss them with Mr.. Laakso. Wages and
hours very favorably with those in Maryland,
and salaries equal to the union standard in
Washing ton, excepting those Of the two managers.
which are less. Women clerks work 10 hours week
while the men work 81 hours. No steady employee
works in broken shifts.
There is minimum wage Law for women in Mary
land; clerks in Byattsvi1le are paid So
week while in Greenbelt it is SO week. In Wash
ington women clerks paid $13 week for six
months, then ST..
For Consumer Services employees who have worked
for six months there is weeks leave with pay:
there are two weeks for those who have been here
year. This includes the co1ored porters who do the
JAM oria1 work. Pay is not locked case of sick
or emergency leave. Each employee is given member
ship in the Health Association. If he is married,
this free membership in the cal tn Association in

At present the Drug Store cannot afford to hire
clerks, their salaries at present AMOUNT to

years to really train clerk, service in the
Drug Store may be expected to improve gradually.

any eventuality, and Davis must have had a bad half minute. But the second machine was that of a process server, who flung a sum mons in Davis face ordering him tc appear Aug. to explain why he hadn't paid $l,820 judgment fol unpaid office rent.
 One of Davis plans for the future was revealed in an article, one of a series, in Golfers magazine this week. He wrote that Schultz kept his money in cash in 8 large steel box after internal revenue agents had found the bank accounts he had under various names. He saw the box one night shortly before Schultz was slain by gang rivals, but never again.
 "What became of the Dutchman's wealth remains mystery" he wrote His wife and two children were left in very modest circumstances. I feel certain he sneaked out one night and buried that box somewhere. The millions didn't just vanish.
 Whoever solves the mystery oi the Dutchman's dough will certainly find a bundle. I've got couple oi lunches myself, and hope to give il try some day"
 Miss Dare, who was sharing Davis Philadelphia apartment when he was arrested there year and a half ago, was reported to have gone upstate to meet him. She moved out of her Manhattan apartment week ago.

JAPAN NOT TO

 This was naturally interpreted as meaning that Japan would not nego- tiate a new treaty unless it's new order" was recognized.
 New Treaty Needed
 Kawai started by saying that he agreed the assertion of Senator Ar thur H. Vandenberg, (R., Mich) author of resolution favoring ab- rogation of the commercial treaty, that the changed situation in the Far East made it desirable to con- clude a new treaty. Japan earnestly expected formulation of revised treaty, Kawai said.
 Then, as to the final paragraph of yesterdays statement, he said that it should be construed broadly and should not be construed as Japanese demand that the United States recognize its new order in Asia"
 the abrogation, I believe naturally
 Since the United States initiated that the United States will take the initiative in proposing a new treaty." Kawai said.
 Comment Is Serious
 Newspaper comment was general ly serious and sober.
 The Nichi Nichi, an independent abrogation was an unfriendly act, with mass circulation, said that the especially since Japan had made an immense sacrifice in protecting American interests in China"
 Asahi, liberal independent, en- phasized, however, the opportunity to revise Japanese American rela- tions.
 Tt is incumbent upon the Japa- nese government to do its best to see that there is a new treaty within six months" the newspaper said. Six months notice is required for effec- .tiveness of the American denuncia- ton.
 Chuga Shogyo, the chef commer- cal organ, sad that a desre to asst British Far Eastern policy, as well as protect American interests in China, caused the abrogation. How ever, 1t added, the abrogation should be interpreted as connected with Americas general Far Eastern pol- icy instead of as being aimed ex- clusively against Japan.
 Whether intercourse between Japan and the United States fahes a crisis depends entirely upon the American government" said the newspaper. Japan should be firm in it's policy and ready for any emer- gency."
 Effect On Negotiations
 The newspapers generally specu- lated on the effect which the treaty denunciation might have on current Japanese British negotiations here on the situation in northern China. Some forecast that the British would now stiffen their attitude.
 Japanese British negotiations were adjourned today until Monday. It was reported that they were going smoothly.
 Foreign Minister Hachiro Arita re- ported to the cabinet on the treaty abrogation.
 It was understood that he told the cabinet that he intended to await further developments before taking any action.
 We'll informed sources forecast also that Japan would not take any initiative for the present toward negotiating Q new treaty.

 Today's judgement of the effect of Lewis blast on Gamers anti third term candidacy for the 1940 Democratic presidential nomination varied from the cautiously expressed belief that 1t would make no differ ence to emphatic assurances that 1t would deliver the nomination and the election to Garner.
 Senator Morris Sheppard. D., Texas, who endorsed petition sup- porting Gamers presidential can- didacy, took another tack and an extremely important one.

The need for per- manent hospital was recognized and six years later, the first unit of St Mary's hospital, now the principal branch of the clinic, was opened with the Mayo brothers in charge.
 At the close of the first year, il had ministered to some 300 patients Since 1920 it has treated some 55,- 900 annually. Early in 1888 the one-millionth patient was regis tered.
 William was a strict disciplinar. ian, didactic and authoritarian ir his conduct of the clinic. He was 8 radical in his field.
 He devised newt echniques ant changed others. He successfully completed operations which other surgeons would not attempt. Ht was distinguished as one of the out standing surgeons of his time fol his work on cancer of the stomach He also was an educator and ar organizer. He and his brother founded and developed one of tht largest organizations for grour practice and one of the greatest post graduate medical schools ir the world.
 In 1915, they donated $1 800 ,000 te establish the Mayo foundation fol medical education and research al Rochester. Subsequent gifts brough the total to $2800,000.

 If Garner drank whiskey, played poker or was evil, the voice of one highly respected in circles where such practices are decried would stoutly defend him against those charges.
 T do not know what the vice. president has done regarding any labor attacks in congress-" Sheppard said yesterday when told of Lewis attack. But as to his personal habits, MT. Lewis is entirely under mis-apprehension."
 The Texas house delegation draft ed 6 defense of Garner and repudi- ation of Lewis. When the state ment was read on the house floor, members both Democrats and Re- publicans-rose and cheered for two minutes. Representative Glare F. Hoffman, Republican, Michigan, iin- mediately demanded action on his resolution for an investigation of Lewis. But Representative Thomas Ford, Democrat, California, asserted he didn't see why the house was 50 indignant when 1t had permitted one of its own members--Represer- tative Dewey Short. Republican, Missoura, - to call President Roose- welt an "egocentric megalomaniac" during house debate.
 When they learned of the Lewis attack, several senators approached Garner and offered to make speech. es on the floor in his defense. 0ar- ner, however, said he preferred that they not speak.
 Senator Edward R. Burke, Demo- crat, Nebraska, vigorous foe of the CIO, pronounced Lewis remarks to be assurance of Gamers election next year and promised that he would call the labor leader to ac- count for them if given the privi- lege-presumably before the senate labor committee.
 "Unfounded, unjust and improp- er,v said Senator William H. King, Democrat, Utah.
 False as hell," snapped Repre- sentative Lindsay 0. Warren, Demo- crat, North Carolina, of the Lewis charges.
 Lewis has raped the Democratic party and Is preparing to return to his first love, the Republican party" remarked Representative c. Arthur Anderson, Democrat, Missouri, with the hope that the Republicans would take him over, and quickly"
 The attitude in congress seemed to be of shocked surprise, but comment generally reflected the position of legislators on the general question of labor and Lewis rather than a change of stance to meet the situa- ton created by Lewis remarks. Lewis opened up with 8 charge that the house Republican minority and "a band of 100 or more rene. gade Democrats" was out to ham, string labor. His shot at Garner was not on personal habits alone.
