Of $26 by two colored men late last
night, he reported to police.
Mr.. Kramer said he picked up the
men at about IL pm. at Seventh

Market Watchman Fined
For BIackout Violation

Thomas S. Gotta, night watch
man for the o Street Market, Sew
enth and o streets NV, was fined
$40 by Judge George D. Nelson in
Municipal Court yesterday for keep
ing lights burning in the market
building during the city's July 20
practice blackout.
Officer T. G. Harris of the second
precinct testified that more than
20 lights were found burning in
the place during the test. The
watchman was unable to turn off
all lights-approximately so in all
because a long pole he was using
for the purpose became entangled
in some wires, the policeman said.
Less than 20 lights had been
turned off when the mans pole be-
came fouled. Officer Harris said
the defendant would not throw a
master switch, which would have
darkened the entire building, be-
cause it controlled number OF
refrigerators in the market.
Judge Nelson, fining the defend.
ant $40 or 20 days, warned thai
the market must take proper steps
to black out the building. Mr.. Gotta
pleaded not guilty.

ADA Survey
May Be Started
Next Week
Inquiry Into Work
Of Agency Aimed
To Help Congress

Senator Tydings, Democrat, OF
Maryland next week may launch
the proposed survey into the work
of the Alley Dwelling Authority to
determine the progress it has made
both in slum clearance and defense
housing
The survey was authorized by the
Senate District Committee two
months ago at the request of John
Ihlder, executive officer of the ADA,
who suggested that study of what
the agency has done in the seven
years of it's existence would be OF
value to Congress in shaping future
legislation.
Senator Tydings was named chair
man of subcommittee to make the
study, with the following members:
Senator McCarran, Democrat, OF
Nevada. chairman of the full COM
mittee, and Senators Hughes, Demo-
crat, of Delaware: Burton, Repub-
lican, of Ohio and Capper, Repub-
lican, of Kansas. The Marylander
said he would call an organization
meeting next week If quorum is
available.
Shortly before the District Com
mittee decided to make the survey
the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee had taken action in the In
dependent Offices supply bill to
abolish the ADA revolving fund of
approximately $120,O00, replacing it
with direct appropriation of only
$4,000 for operating expenses in
the maintenance of it's slum- clear
ance projects. The House accepted
the Senate action.
This means that the rents and un-
expended balances, heretofore used
as revolving fund to maintain the
alley dwelling properties on self
sustaining long-term basis, must be
deposited in the Treasury leaving
the question of repairs and main
tenance to the annual determination
| of Congress.
In its early years the ADA dealt
only with improvement of the in
| habited alleys of the city, but after
national low-cost housing legisla-
ton was enacted, the ADA was au-
| thorized by Congress to participate
in it. With the development Of the
defense and war housing emergency,
| the ADA was utilized, as were other
local housing agencies, in helping
solve that problem.

Fifty tons of metal scrap could be
secured by dismantling Washing
tons 46 bronze and iron monuments,
if President Roosevelts suggestion
that monuments and memorial can
non are potential metal sources Is
acted on, it was estimated today.
Other sources of iron and bronze
which might be considered for sal
wage before historic shrines are dis
turbed. however, were being put for
ward today. These included the
iron gates and fences Of private
homes, the massive bronze doors OF
many Government buildings, and
the iron fence surrounding the
White House.
1t was even pointed out, not too
seriously, that the biggest metal
bonanza in Washington is the dome
of the Capitol. but Congress would
have plenty to say about that. Ine
Capitol dome contains more than
1000, 900 pounds of iron, or more
than 1000 tons.
"Who1l Bell the Cat?"
Like the fable of belling the cat,
the idea of finding metal scrap in
monuments may be good one, but
the task of saying which shall and
shall not be torn down causes Ma
tional Park Service officials to shud-
der. They foresee patriotic socle-
ties rising in wrath. Many mciu-
ments here were built through pri-
i vate funds and accepted for the
| Nation by act of Congress.
Plaster casts could oe made and
monuments rebuilt, if the war de-
mands this extreme step, but a re-
production lacks the authority OF
the original, it was said.
The Andrew Jackson statue IN
LAFAYETTE Park, facing the White
House, was the first equestrian mon
ument erected here. 1t was cast
from bronze cannon captured n the
Battle of Pensacola during the Wal
| of 1872. The jackson statue was
dedicated on the 38tn anniversary
of his victory over the British at
New Orleans.
! Artistry Still questioned.
Many attempts have been made
to have "Old Andy" removed from
Lafayette Park on the ground that
the monument is not artistic, that
the generals position on his rearing
charger is something less than the
common acceptance of a superb
horseman's carriage. 1t is recalled
that jackson was superb horse
man.
If "Old Andy" one of the patron
saints of the Democratic party were
to be removed or seriously threat
ened with removal from his vantage
spot near the White House, Tennes-
see, his native State, and Demo
Gratis far and near would be heard

Buses 10 Start
Using Parking
Lots tuesday
System Will Stop
'Deodheod' Trips
In Off-Peuk Periods

The plan to save 100000 bus
miles a year by parking buses in
downtown areas during the off-peak
period will be placed in operation by
the Capital Transit Co. Tuesday,
1t was announced today.
The program will begin with the
storing of five buses on the parking
lot at John Marshall place and
PENNSYLVANIA avenue NV, and II
buses on the Potomac Park Polo
Field between 8 am. and $3.50 pm.
The Polo Field area was recently
released to the Transit Co. by Sec
retary of the Navy Knox after he
had consistently refused to permit
the use of any part of the grounds
for anything but the parking OF
automobiles.
Transit Co. officials said total
of 100 buses would be stored on
each of the two lots within week
or 10 days after the plan was placed
In effect.
More Space Sought.
The Transit Co.'S lot at First and
B streets S.W. has already been
In use since May 18 for the storage
of IS buses. When the new storage
plans are in full operation, officials
OF the company said, present bus
schedules will permit the parking
Of only about 40 additional vehicles
In downtown areas during o1-peak
hours. Attempts are being made to
obtain additional space to accom-
modate these buses.
Operation of the storage plan ad-
vocated by Traffic Director William
A. Van Duzer and approved by the
once of Defense Transportation
and the Public Utilities Commission,
will eliminate long "dead-head" trips
to outlying company garages after
the morning rush-hour and back to
downtown terminals just before the
afternoon peak.
$4,000 a Year Extra Cost.
Company officials pointed out,
however, that while they were glad
to cooperate in the rubber-saving
drive, the storage plan would cost
the company at least $4,000 a year
after savings in gasoline had been
deducted. This sum, it was ex-
planned, is the aggregate of the travel
time that must be paid to bus op-
orators in getting back to their home
garages under a union agreement.
In addition to parking the buses,
officials said, the drivers must get
to the garages on the regular trans
portation lines instead of making
quick "dead-head" trips.

action will be taken to reclassify

This legislation establishes a 81 500
minimum, supplanting the present
rate of $1,000, and makes other
changes accordingly.
The agencies were advised to send
the classification sheets covering the
positions to the commission at once.

The war has taught the Navy
laboratory technicians to reclaim
agar, valuable culture medium once

Agar, indispensable in many kinds

seaweed. Since the seaweed nc
