DC. Health Promotion
By Physical Education
In Schools Urged
Georgetown Citizens
Ask $500. 900 Program,
YeorIy Examinations

A resolution urging that adequate
appropriation be made for physical
education as a part of the graded.
junior and senior high school sys-
TEN of education, and that the pro-
gram include physical examinations
at least once each year was adopted
by the Georgetown Citizens Asso-
citation last night.
The motion. presented by Ernest
I. Lewis, deplored the large number
of persons rejected for military and
civil service as failing of the
education system. and urged that
$500, 900 be included in the budget
for physical education and that ex-
aminations begin within the next
year; .. -
John Ihlder. executive officer of
the Alley Dwelling Authority, told
the association that 1000 dwellings
should be constructed In the Metro
politan Area to solve the severe
housing shortage here.
$500 Demountables.
OF the $4,000 dwellings con-
Government, about $500 would be
of the "demountable" type. he said.
After Frank p. Leetch, chairman
Of the groups Zoning Committee,
reported to the association that
demountable dwellings will be con-
structed in the $500 block of
Reservoir road NV, Mr.. Ihlder. a
member of the association, explained
the plan in regard to that particular
type of construction.
The temporary shelter" problem
that faces the Government, he de-
clared, leaves the choice of con-
structing f1imsy shelters, which must
be destroyed after the war, or build
ing the demountable type, which
may be sold at the end of the
emergency.
THE indications" he continued.
"are that the District will not have
housing surplus after the war. And
there should not be as great a
shortage IS in other large cities.
"As the demountable houses can
be reasonably sold after the war.
they must be attractively designed" !"
The policy later may be to put
them on sale as improved subdi-
visions rather than have them dis
appear. he said. adding that If a
housing surplus develops after the
war the demountable homes will
serve as an excellent cushion" be-
cause of their salvage value.
Back Retention Of A. /. u.
Retention of the Metropolitan Po-
lice Department accident investi-
CATION unit, with notifications in

by the Trafflc Advisory Council, was
indorsed unanimously on the motion
of Richard A. Mahar.
Ernest F. Henry, general counsel
to the rent administrator, outlined
the work of the Rent Administration,
appearing as guest speaker before
the group.
Figures show" Mr.. Henry stated,
that while rent rates in the Dis
trict seem high, they are more nor
NAL here than in most other large
cities. And the standard Of homes
in the District is high" i<a
Rent schedules and records of all
new apartment houses and many
other residences are on file now,
but it is the aim Of the board to
have a complete catalogue Of all
rental properties in the District
within a year, he concluded.
The meeting, presided over by
Col Archibald King, was held in

Wheat Growers Urged
By Wickard 10 Build
Farm Storage Space
Production Cool Limited
To 40 Million Acres
For Flour Likely
b, the Associated Press.

b the AsSoclsseu freas.
ENID, Okla, April 2S.-The Ma
tons wheat farmers were urged to-
day by Secretary Of Agriculture
wickard to start building more farm
storage at once and told that future
production goals limited to 40.o0o.-
900 acres for -four milling might be
necessary to maintain parity. Ex-
cess wheat would 60 to industrial
and feed uses.
"It Is no news to YOU" the cabinet
member told an interstate farm
audience Just five days before the
national wheat quota referendum
for the current crop, that wheat
farmers face some Of the toughest
problems In American agriculture.
Storage space is already crowded.
We have years requirements Of
wheat on hand and with the kind
Of yields In prospect, there will be
tremendous shortage In storage
capacity for the country.
Ony OnC way Outs
with terminals overcrowded, no
steel or other necessary materials
available for new elevators, and no
chance to squeeze through by util-
izing box cars for storage as was
done last year, there Is only one way
out-farm storage"
A z cents per bushel storage al
lowance will be available II the
quota system is continued, Mr..
Wickard said.
While 1t Is the war duty Of Ameri-
can farmers to produce more than
ever before, hit-or-miss expansion
won't do. Mr.. Wickard said. Far
mers would delay victory by growing
things that are not needed"
This Is where marketing quotas
come in"
He reiterated statements of year
ago that no loans on wheat could
be made unless the quotas are ap-
proved May Q.
Pointing out that in other wheat
surplus nations prices to producers
we're much under those to cooper
ating American farmers, he esti-
mated that with loans and pay
ments the latter would get about
SIPS per bushel this year.
Raps Faulty Reasoning"
Those who look back to the "a
and So wheat of the First World
War and think that with a bigger
war, more demand for wheat viii
develop, reason faultily, Mr.. Wickard
said. Then the United States was
the great exporting nation. Now
have surpluses. Nor Is shipping
available now as 1t was then.
Even after the war, the Secre-
tary added. Americas share of the
world wheat trade likely will be
small and will be disposed Of at
price under parity.
From the way things look now.
1t seems TO me that the best course
to begin thinking about would be
something like this: Maintain par
ity for every producers share of
the wheat grown on whatever acre
age may be needed to supply our
full domestic needs for fiour-per-
haps 10000 900 acres--and then have
areas that are especially equipped
to grow wheat go ahead and raise
considerably more than their do
mestic -four share, then sell that
excess wheat at lower price for
feed and for industrial uses and
exports"
There Is need for wheat for in
dustrial and feed outlets, but no
way at present, he said, to move
large amounts Of grain into those
fields at the same price maintained
for wheat to be milled into -four.
