of the anniversary of the cessa-

Busy war industries kept
grinding out the materials of
war. State, Federal and local
governmental offices remained
open as usual, to pause only at
the IL a. m. hour for brief silent
tribute to the men of that other
war who gave up then lives in
the fight for survival of our way
of life.

Told Plan Is to Dominate
New Jersey Courts
BY the Associated Press.

Gov. Charles Edison of New
Jersey told a Senate Judiciary
Subcommittee today that if the
Senate confirmed Thomas F.
Meaney of Jersey City as a
United States District Court
Judge for New Jersey it would, in
effect, be putting Frank Hague
on the Federal bench"
Gov. Edison has opposed confrma-
ton of Mr.. Meaney as a pawn Of
Mayor Hague Of Jersey City, power

statement, said that in letter of

that Mr. Meaney played in the

Il ask you to weigh we'll the ques-
tion-is Mr. Meaney again to be the
pawn by which Frank Hague seeks
to work out a strategy to dominate
the Federal Courts also?" Gov.
Edison said.
The very breadth and character
of the campaign that is being waged
to place Mr.. Meaney on the bench
shows how important it is to Hague
and his group to have this particular
Federal judge -
I'VE must fight here at home for
the same things that our young men
fight for abroad We must not per-
init the sabotage of democracy by
petty political tyrants at home. II
we think it wrong in Berlin, why
should we tolerate it in New Jersey?'

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The War Production Board today
ordered Gamers to set aside their
entire 1912 pack of salmon. sardines,
mackerel and Atlantic herring to
fill the needs Of the armed services
and the leaSe-lend program.
w. P. B. officials emphasized, how
ever, that the order did not neces-
sarily mean that none Of the 1912
pack would be available to civilians.
Because of uncertainty as to the
supply and the demand, 1t was
thought best to require that the
entire pack of these fish be set
aside" Lawrence Hopkinson, In
charge of fishery products for w.
P. B., said.
Then, If the full supply Is not
needed for military and lease-lend
requirements, it can be released for
civilian purposes"
He estimated the 1912 salmon
pack at 100000 cases, of which
about $500 900 probably will be re-
quired by the Government.

No Room Shortage

Bill to ReIox Zoning
Rules for BOARDING
Houses Opposed

There is no shortage Of rooms
in the District at present, Mrs.
Helen Duey Hoffman, director of
the Washington Housing Asso-
citation, told a House subcommit-
tee today in opposing passage Of
a bill to permit operation Of
rooming and boarding houses in
restricted residential areas for
the duration of the war.
Mrs. Hoffman said there Is a
reservoir of 4,875 rooms now avail
able, according to the report of the
Housing Registry as of May 20. In
addition, she continued, there is an
estimated $4,000 rooms in private
homes that can be made available.
adding that talk of billeting is
bringing them in very fast" during
the last few days.
Describing the proposed bill as
unnecessary and undesirable. she
was Joined in her opposition to the
measure by Engineer Commissioner
Kutz. chairman of the Zoning Com
mission, who told the subcommittee
the commission by a 80 vote op-
posed the proposal.
He said Commissioners Young and
Mason constituted the minority on
the Zoning Commission Offering no
objection to the bill.
Bill Suggested by Cochran.
Representative Cochran. Demo-
crat, of Missouri testified in sup
port of the proposed measure and
said it had been drawn at his sug-
gestion by Corporation Counsel
Richmond B. Keech. He said his
attention had been called to the
housing situation here, not only by
his constituents needing accommo-
cations but also by the plight OF
Mrs. Mary E. Famous, who has
been advised by District officials
that her rooming house at 31OO r
street NV. is in a restricted area
and should not be continued.
Mr.. Cochran said Mrs. Famous is
providing accommodations for Is
persons, about half of them naval
, of1cers and the remainder defense
workers. He said the present bill
would limit the number of roomers
above the first floor to nine anc
in so doing still would fail to legal
ize Mrs. Famous rooming house
which has more than that numbe,
above the first floor.
He urged that the bill be returned
to Mr.. keech to be amended to take
care of this situation.
