 tious, unspectacular player whose concentration and control are excel- lent. Without the aggressiveness of McNeill. Frank plays more cau- tious game, making few errors either atthe net or in backcourt which is perhaps his favorite posi- ton. His backhand drive with some undercut is his best shot; good tOot- work, self-ctntrol in keeping his mind on the game without becom- ing annoyed or excited by bad ''breals", his steadiness and coolness are perhaps his outstanding char acteristics.
 These four men play different types of games, but you can learn something of value from each of them if you will watch them closely in competition.

OH-Street Parking
Commission Will ALLOW
Roomine Houses in
Restricted Areas

The Zoning Commission this aft
ernoon approved in principle bill
to amend the Zoning Act to give
the commission power to require
provision of off street parking fa-
cilities for all new District con-
StructiOn.
The bill has already been drawn
and the District Commissioners, who
are members of the Zoning group,
will be asked to submit it to Con-
gress.
Rooming House Rule Amended.
The zoning officials also decided
to amend present zoning regulations
to permit lodging and rooming
houses to be operated in restricted
or semi-restricted district to meet
the housing shortage brought on by
the population influx.
These amendments would be ef-
fective only during the emergency
and, in any event, not after Decem-
Der 81, 1943
Since any amendment to the
ZOnlng regulations requires pubic
hearing and must be advertised 30
days in advance of the hearing, the
commission served notice that the
hearing would be held December 3.
Certificate Required.
The zoning authorities discussed
the possibility of meeting the situa-
ton through congressional amend
ments to the Zoning Act, but in the
end decided to handle it through
the regulations.

Russians Fail 10 Receive
Arms Yet by Iran Route

Ev the Associated Press.
TEHERAN. Iran. Oct. 27.-Ameri-
can-made Warplanes are reaching
this area in increasing numbers, but,
Russian sources said today, no de-
liveries of military equipment have
vet been made to the Red Army by
the British across Iran.
Considerable quantities of cot
ton, jute and other raw materials
have been trucked to us from the
Persian Gulf and should be useful
to our factories in the Caucasus" !"
they said, but declared that actual
military equipment had not yet been
sent over Iranian routes.
The progress of the German
armies through Russia's Ukraine
toward the Caucasus has led many
Iranians to believe that the Nazi
forces would reach this Iranian
capital by late winter or early
spring, and this fact may have i'm
pressed the government, which is
leisurely studying the terms of a
proposed treaty of alliance with
Britain and Russia.
A commonly expressed opinion in
political circles here is that Iran
can gain nothing by treaty which
would "legalize" the British-R Russian
occupation, turn the native press
and radio over to control by the
Russian and British censors and
obligate the army to give full as
sistance to the Allied forces.

draft legislation that would con-
solidate the Civilian Conservation

be relieved from all activities which
may in any manner interfere with
its main objective-preparation for
defense"
The President intimated he was
considering sending message to
Congress explaining the need for
such legislation at this time
The consolidation would require
legislation since the c. c. c. is now
operating under an act of Congress.
