Discarded Men and Materials
Rebuilt by Salvation Army
Storehouse to Reop Spring Cleaning
Harvest for Lean Summer Months

In one room there are hundreds
Of wheels-laWn mower wheels, baby
carriage wheels, roller skate wheels,
cart wheels.
These wheels are made to turn
again for the indirect benefit of 80
men for whom the wheels of a good
life are turning very slowly.
In another room there are hum
dreds of pairs of old shoes; in an
other, overstuffed furniture stripped
bare of its worn-out upholstery, and
in still another, dozens of dust
covered pianos.
A large storeroom houses tons of
old newspapers and magazines, ready
to be packed and shipped to mills.
In one corner old rags are piled high,
also ready for packing. They have
been culled from used clothing which
is stacked on another floor to be
mended and cleaned for resale.
Work on the "Sidetrack."
The scene of this labyrinth of the
miscellaneous is a huge warehouse
at the rear of a social service center
at 526 First street NV. Ninety men
live in the spotless quarters at the
center. They are men for whom
there is no immediate place in the
social and economic scheme of
things.
They do not exist on charity.
They work for what they get. This
opportunity is given them by the
Salvation Army. They work in the
warehouse, repairing anything
everything-which is brought into
the center by other men covering
the city in trucks.
Washingtonians load these trucks
daily with discarded clothing, books,
household furniture. glassware,
knick-knacks. Articles which can't
be repaired or renovated are sold
for junk.
Five stores and three small shops
scattered throughout the city offer
the remade products for resale. And

the sale is good. Customers, who
haven't the money to buy new
necessities, need what these stores
offer. Just as the men in the center
need the pennies their remade mer-
chandise brings.
Maj. H. M. Gesner is the manager
OF the center. 1t is his job to see
that the project pays it's own way.
The center gets no money from the
front office of the Army. 1t can
not solicit contributions. But Maj.
Gesner is accustomed to making
projects pay for themselves. He
was in charge of Salvation Army
work in flood-stricken Louisville,
KY, two years ago.
He provided food and clothing
for thousands and did his job we'll.
What's more, when the worst was
over, the major had food and cloth
ing left over. He's a good man.
ager.
Big Harvest Due.
Beginning today Maj. Gesner's
truck drivers will have plenty of
extra work to do, for this is the
time of year Washingtonians do
their spring housekeeping. The
center's Bundle Week" campaign
will be carried on through April 8.
During that time an excess of dis
carded articles will be piled high in
the shops and storehouse to give the
80 men work to do during the lean
summer months" Maj. Gesner says.
The personnel of this miniature
industrial center changes rapidly
the average stay for the residents"
is about three months. Their spirits
boosted by steady work and the
home the center provides for
them, they leave for another try
alone.
But others come to take their
places, just as they started coming
40 years ago when the Army first
started the project.
The wheels are made to turn
smoothly again.

u. S. Rules Like Fascist,
Puerto Ricun Churoes
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, March
2.-Rafael Martinez Nadal, Presi-
dent of the Puerto Rican Senate,
yesterday accused the United States
Of posing as q democracy while
ruling Puerto Rico like q Fascist
state.
He advised his colleagues to sur
render their posts and let WASH
ington officials govern the island
directly.
Nadal, a veteran proponent of
Puerto Rican statehood, said the
Legislature was "only acting q COM
edy" while Washington enforced its
orders by threatening to cut of
Federal appropriations.
Instead of attempting to solve
Puerto Rico's problem of surplus
population by transplanting Puerto
Ricans to other Caribbean regions
he said the American Government
was arranging to transplant 00,O00
German Jews Ia the Dominican

Truman and Wheeler
To 'Rewrite' |. T.. T.. Act
By the Associated resS,

oy the ASSOCIATED TeSS.
Senator Truman, Democrat, of
Missouri said last night he and
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of Mon
tana would introduce bills this week
rewriting the entire Interstate
Commerce Act" to bring all forms of
competing transportation under a
single regulatory agency.
Senator Truman discussed the
railroad problem in a radio forum
with R. v. Fletcher, general counsel
of the Association of American Rail-
roads. The Missouri Senator has
been working with Senator Wheeler,
chairman of the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee, in an ex-
tended study of rail financing and
reorganization.
Railroads have been subjected to
unfair competition Senator Tru-
man asserted. "They have been
compelled to observe certain regula-
tions. make certain rates and pro-
vide certain facilities for the public
while their competitors have been
free to engage in cut-throat activi-
ties injurious to themselves and to
the railroads"
Mr.. Fletcher said it would be
wholesome to erase from the statute
books our whole system of transpor-
tation legislation and write q new
code entirely, based on modern con-
ditions"
Asserting that carrier operators
should be given larger measure of
authority over rate-making policies,
Mr.. Fletcher added:
Nov that competition is present
in every part Of the country, no con-
sideration of the public interest calls
for a further lacing of the strait
jacket. The tendency should be
the other way"
