HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compe"
WEDNESDAY, APRIL %

Benefic aspects slightly overbal-
ance adverse planetary influences
today. The morning seems to
threaten labor troubles and much
consequent criticism of delays in
war work.
HEART AND HOME: This is
fortunate day for women who will
find many ways of broadening
their service in the cause of victory.
AS they are called into industry in
increasing numbers the value of
their home life will be appreciated
and they will demonstrate ability
to safeguard the family and to
maintain a high standard of liv-
ing Again the seers forecast in
crease in the number of births and
they predict that before the close
of the war centers for child care
will be established to liberate young
mothers for public work.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: The need
/
of more workers in factories will
cause what is virtually draft law
including both men and women.
Service in industry will be realized
as quite as imperative and as in
evitable as service in the armed
forces. Great results are foretold
for producers of war materials. The
nation in high gear will prove its
magnificent capabilities. Thus as
trologers interpret aspects that in
fluence the United States this
spring.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Labor un-
ions are to cooperate fully with the
! Government after settlement of
various differences which retard
production for war needs. An in
cident of great potential harm to
+ the United States in its aviation
war plans will precipitate final
issue between workers and the Gov
ernment Perils that long have
! been dreaded will be near as the
nation reaches a realization of the
need Of absolute unity of endeavor
if victory is to be attained.
! INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR g:
Offensives in which the United
States participates will gain sue
! cess in the Orient Gradually the
enormous resources of the nation
will focus for overpowering adj
vances on Japan and the Japan
ese. Defense measures will be help
full in augmenting the strength of
our forces for American fighters
are to prove their home training
has qualified them for all forms of
warfare. Heroes will be recognized
in every branch of the service and
will perform brilliant deeds through
the summer
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of year of fairly good
fortune but care should be exer-
cised to keep mental poise and
emotional balance
Children born on this day prob
ably will be noble in nature and
alert in mind They will be gener-
Gus and able to win success in the
vocations that they choose.

We Sure Fooled EN-.
philadelphia Record

This months prize for optimism goes to Edwin
C. Banninger president of the Steel and Scrap In
stitute.
He told a House Military Sub Committee that
large-scale shipment of American scrap metal to
Japan may work out to the benefit of the United
States in the present war" He explained that be-
cause so much U. S. scrap available, Japan did
not develop blast facilities for exploiting iron
deposits in Manchukuo
Now we see how win the war.
We give Japan battleshps she won't develop
her shipyards, airplanes she won't develop fac
tories and guns SO she won't develop arsenals.
Still we are skeptical We afraid Japan might
use those battleships, arpanes and guns against
us-iust as she is using the scrap IRON
We prefer the Macarthur style of giving Japan
scrap iron-in the form of shells.

White House squirrels never pass

noon when uniformed guard
emerged from the White House

guard to a young man watching

Admiral Harold r. Stark, then chief
of Naval Operations, cancelled the
order when informed that the Nor
mandie would not be ready. The
next day, however, he telegraphed
that the vessel must sail on the
18th.
Mas and Mott contended that
Stark acted under orders from the
observation-disclosures Stark did not
confirm this when he testified-and
that therefore the President was

Soviets made no reference to the
caustic denunciation Of "babbling
Fascist warlords." The Jap broad
casters carefully withheld from
their listeners any hint of these
blasts at Jap military rulers.
The radio monitors also report
that the japanese people have no
inkling OF the heavy Jap naval,
merchant marine and army losses.
No word of the Manila bombing
and the devastating surprise at
tacks on Jap-held islands has been
allowed on the Jap radio. The Japs
are fed only exaggerated and often
fictitious accounts of Jap victories.

Aside from disposing of these
problems, the Commission approved
condemnation award for the ad-
dition of Az acres to Rock Greek
Park. The strip of land, in newly
graded area, is north of Colorado
avenue and west of Sixteenth street
in the vicinity of the old Blagden
mill.
Designation of permanent site
on Government land east of the
Anacostia River is being sought of
the planning body by United Service
Organization officials for erection Of
USO building to serve the recrea-
marines in the Washington area.
USO officers have elected the CO.
operation of the Planning Commits
sion, which yesterday considered
several possible locations. Since the
Navy Yard has acquired almost all
of Anacostia Park south of the
Eleventh Street Bridge. the prob
lem of finding a suitable location
for the USO building presents diff
hculties.
The Planning Commission is with
holding the designation of sites un-
der consideration until it has an op-
portunity to go into the matter with
the new District Recreation Board.
Due to the increased number of
problems created by the war, the
commission voted yesterday to forgo
its usual August recess and work

meetings, as well as the dates for
August and September.
Opposition was expressed yester-
day afternoon to the pending House

In a new decentralization order
affecting many veteran Government
employees, the Budget Bureau has
directed transfer of the fourth dis
trict Office of the Civil Service Com
mission from Washington to Wins
ton-Salem, N. C. The move is
scheduled for August Is. Approx
mately $50 persons are employed in
the Office. A skeleton staff will be
retained here.
The fourth district Office handles
civil service affairs in the District,
Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia
and West Virginia. The move will
result in some redistricting. with
Maryland going into the third dis
trict, which is centered at Philadel-
phia, and South Carolina, now in

modations we're none too good, and
the girls blamed the agency.
Miss Hartman also explained how
some girls themselves create over
crowding in a rooming house. She
recalled the case of four girls
striking up an acquaintance on a
train on their way to Washington.
One of them had, through friend
already in Washington, rented a
room in advance so she invited
the three strangers to go to the
roomine house in which she was to
live and pleaded with the proprietor
to take in her friends. The pro-
prietor was accommodating. The
result was four girls sharing a room
hardly large enough for two.
Miss Hartman said one Of the big
problems of the agency is to find
accommodations for low salaried
clerks, especially those in the 81 ,440-
a-year group, at rates they can
afford to pay. Many rooming houses
charge from s18 to $40 month. A
clerk making 81 ,440 a year who pays
more than $3.50 week for a room,
Miss Hartman pointed cut, must go
without proper food.
Housing officials have found that
some of the higher rentals are asked
by owners of private homes who
have offered the use Of spare room
to relieve the housing shortage.
Rooms in these homes. it was said,
are usually better furnished than
those in some of the regular room
ing houses and for this reason the
owners think they are entitled to
higher rentals and fix a rate that
the average Government worker
cannot afford. That is one reason
housing officials claim there are va
cancies in the better class private
homes.

First Community Sing Brings
Hearty Call for More
Two Dutch Youths Sit in Crowd
And Marvel at Americas Joyousness

A throng Of Americans sprawled
happily on the grass at the Sylvan
Theater last night and roared out
old songs to the accompaniment of
the Marine Band.
They ate peanuts and chewed
gum. They slapped the children
to make them behave. Some of them
kissed their sweethearts. All of
them shouted approval when the
song leader asked them If they
wanted these new community sings
to be held at 7:30 pm. every Thurs
day night.
Among the Americans sat two
blue-eyed boys in uniforms slightly
darker than Yankee khaki. They
didn't seem to be relaxing. They
had pushed their jaunty overseas
caps with three gold buttons back
on their heads and were gazing
about them as if they never had
seen the American citizen at play.
They stared at the tall shaft of
the Washington Monument rising
over the heads of the singing crowd.
They looked over at the massive
masonry along Constitution avenue
and then at the park stretching
away to the Jefferson Memorial.
Yah" said the tall red headed
one. Yah" agreed the shorter,
rounder one.
Allies of America.
Netherlanders they were, down
from Stratford, Canada, for two
days. They came to see the land
of their ally and they were frankly
amazed. A pretty little girl in a
pink dress broke from her fathers
hand and ran toward them. shouting
with laughter She poked at their
odd little hats and chided, You
aren't singing! You aren't sing
ing!"
YAH" said Corpl. John Tn.
Bloem. Yah" said Corpl. Jetze
Kroontje. The little girl ran away.
A peanut vendor approached,
waving his wares. A blonde girl
smiled at a soldier and pretty soon
he was sitting by her side. A fat
man reached under his coat and
produced a bottle of beer. A chubby
girl in slacks reached down and
scratched a mosquito bite on her
ankle in time to the Straus waltz
the band was playing.

District Court Finds,
After Arguments, Two
Points Are to Be Decided

Justice Matthew F. Mcclure in
District Court today took under ad
viSement the appeal of the United
TaXicao Drivers, Inc. and others
from the Public Utilities Commits
sion order fixing a new schedule of
taxicab zones and rates.
The drivers group a union, and
Edwin a. Glenn, C. B. Edwards and
Wallace L. Redwine, individual cab
operators. had petitioned the court
to set aside the PUG order on the
grounds it would cut drivers re-
ceipts Substantially.
After hearing arguments. Justice
MCCLURE said he had two points to
decide:
First, whether the taxicab group
was an entity affected by the PUG
order. Second, whether the order
inflicted irreparable damage on the
group so as to give it cause for
action.
Justice MCGUIRE found that the
drivers group could not claim it
was utility affected by the order.
Members of the drivers group
are individual taxicab operators,
but the union does not operate cabs
in its own name.

Limiting of Fairs
| And Conventions
By the Associated Press

B, the Associated Press.
The Government asked today that
all State and county fairs, nom
essential conventions. meetings and
group tours be postponed until the
war is over.
Joseph B. Eastman, defense trans
portation director, made the appeal
and said that if civilians restricted
their use of trains and buses the
Government might not have to take
direct control over travel
In asking postponement of fairs,
Mr.. Eastman said farmers should
not be encouraged to use tires for
such nonessential purposes
Attendance at meetings connected
with the war effort, he said, should
be skeletonized along the lines of
the example set by the American
Legion in its forthcoming conven-
ton.

The agency has its own code oi
minimum health standards which q
rooming house must meet before il
is placed on the approved list. These
requirements. in many respects, are
similar to those outlined in the
Health Department new regula-
tions governing operation of room
ing houses which are scheduled to
go into effect Monday.
Outside Ventilation Provided.
A bathroom for every 10 persons
one of the regulations in the new
Health Department code-has long
been a minimum requirement of the
agency. To prevent overcrowding
1t has required that all rooms used
for sleeping purposes shall have at
least 400 cubic feet of air space per
person. The new Health Depart
ment regulations, however. forbid
the use of any room which does not
have at least so square feet of floor
space pcr person.
The de-cnse agency also requires
the honcs it approves to have
direct outside ventilation in bed
rooms and screens on all WIN
dows in the summer. Not a re-
quirement, but a requested service
is that roomers be allowed the use
of the telephone for both incoming
and outgoing calls. the use of the
laundry and a room for reception of
guests.
Miss Saida l.. Hartman, director OF
the agency's inspection service, said
particular efforts are made to get
proper accommodation for young
girls, many of whom left home for
the first time for a Government war
job in Washington. If possible, they
are directed to rooming houses that
segregate men and women on diff
ferent floors.
Hundreds Located Daily.
The agency's headquarters, now
located in the United States Infor-
nation Center at Fourteenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue NV, has
succeeded in locating hundreds of
freshly arrived war workers every
day in homes that have met the
minimum standards of its health
and sanitation code. Relatively few
complaints have been received about
the accommodations picked out for
these strangers.
Most of the complaints, according
to Miss Hartman, have come from
persons who take rooms in houses
other than those recommended by
the agency She related the case of
two young country girls who were
directed to an approved rooming
house in the upper Northwest sec
ton. En- route the girls were at
tracted by a furnished room for
rent sign in the window of another
house and rented it. The accom-
