Against Speeding

Rigid enforcement of speed and
pedestrian control regulations was
ordered today by Harvey G. Gala
han, assistant superintendent of
police. In an order sent to all
precincts, he cited the necessity of
the reduction of speed of all moror
vehicles as imperative because of the

handled through Mr.. Walkers
depot system" during the regular
collection drive, effective imme-
diately.
THE other phase, household fats"
said Mr.. Walker, has not reached
anywhere near the results desired,
probably because of the lack of
intensified publicity and education
and because of the overcrowded liv-
ing conditions of our CITY,"
v Mr.. Walkers first month report
showed only about $4,000 pounds
of household fats, he said, when the
quota set by WPB is 249 900 pounds
per month for the District.
Tribute to Newspapers.
In concluding his statement. Mr..
Walker paid extraordinary tribute
to the efforts of the newspapers in
the scrap drive in the following
terms:
"It is significant that while the
committee has been doing every
thing physically possible in an
eight month period to make our
citizens realize the need of these
vitality necessary materials, yet 1t
took a whirlwind campaign with
its whirlwind front-page publicity
to make the people realize the seri-
BUSINESS of the situation"
Concluding. he said:
TT is hoped that this realizati ton
will stay put in the minds of our
citizens in order that the continu-
ing effort of the D. c.. Salvage
Committee can be productive for
the duration"
Two events today will help swell
the Districts scrap total.
At Takoma Park (Md.) Elemen-
tary School on Philadelphia avenue,
more than 500 students this morn
ing participated In an outdoor scrap
assembly sponsored by the sixth

Simpler Regulations
For Rooming Houses
Urged in District
Housing OfficioI Says
Existing Rules Are
Too Complicated

Mrs. Helen Duey Hoffman. ex-
ecutive director of the Washington
Housing Association, yesterday urged
simplification and speed in the
granting of licenses to boarding and
rooming houses in order to put an
end to "law breaking"
Mrs. Hoffman expressed the view
that most of the operators of board
ing and rooming houses wish to
comply with regulations, but do not
know what to do and inspections
have Jagged. She argued that the
principal inspection should be made
by one person who would know
whether the other inspections need
ed to be made"
Seven Inspections Required.
Under the 1882 licensing law,
which is still in operation" Mrs.
Hoffman explained, seven inspec-
tions of boarding and rooming
houses need to be made. Licenses
come after inspection by the Health
Department, the Electrical Depart
ment, the Zoning Commission and
now possibly the Rent Control Of
fee.
THE rules are so complicated and
the number of inspectors so numer-
Gus some of them think they have
fulfilled requirements when they
apply for inspection and pay their
IS application fee." she added.
DR.. r. r. Ashworth of the Dis
trict Health Department said that
six woman inspectors hev recently
been employed and that he is
switching more employees to the
inspection service. Pointing out
that I'VE have 5000 boarding and
rooming houses registered for in
spection," Or. Ashworth said that
'by November we will certainly have
inspected all the kitchen facilities
Of those places"
Instructions for Operators.
Four steps were listed by Mrs.
Hoffman for operators:
l. Go to room 120 Of the District
Building for blank and fill out an
application for an inspection.
2. Go to the building inspectors
Office at room LOB of the District
Building and apply for occupancy
permit.
3. Go to room 202A at the new
Municipal Center and register for an
inspection by the Health Depart
ment, giving the name of the resi-
dent manager of the boarding or
rooming house
4. Go to the rent control Office at
1740 Massachusetts, avenue NV. and
present information on rents being
charged and services being offered
Mrs. Hoffman pointed out that the
receipt for the IS application for in
spection is not permission to operate
In the case of the occupancy permit
she said the zoning Commission has
to make an inspection before a per
NIT is granted. On receipt of the
permit, she added. the operator must
pay an additional 81.

0fLanham Act
Federal Funds
$83, 500 Advanced
For Fairgrounds,
GoIIin9er Annexes

An advance of $83 500 of Federal
funds under the Lanham Act ap-
preparation for vital community
services was received today by the
Commissioners for enlargement of
Gallinger Municipal Hospital and
improvements to recreati nal areas
Part of the fund is an outright
grant, but 1000 for improvement
of play areas is to be repaid by the
District
Announcement of Federal Works
Agency approval of these items is
the first actual fruit of negotia-
tions extending over number of
weeks under the guidance of Com
missioner Guy Mason.
Arrangements approved today by
the Commissioners call for an out
right grant of $608,500 from Lam
ham funds for construction OF three
relatively small buildings at Gal
linger, intended to relieve the criti-
cal shortage of hospital beds.
To Provide $50 Beds.
The plans now approved include
construction of Gallinger addition
to provide $50 beds for maternity
cases. In addition, dormitories are
to be erected, one to house 38 in
ternes and the other 38 nurses.
District officials expected that
work would start as soon as plan
ming details had been completed
and necessary priorities granted, and
they estimated that construction
would be completed within 80 days.
Under the approved financial ar
rangements, the Federal Govern
ment will advance $235 900 for the
sites. OF this sum, $195,OOO is to
constitute an outright Federal
grant and the remaining $4,000 is
q loan which is to be repaid by the
District.
To Begin Within Week.
The improvement work, District
officials say, is to be started within
a week. They added that it will
consist mostly of grading, seeding
and sodding of play areas.
The problem of recreational areas
in the District has become critical
in the last year, in the opinion of
District officials, in view of the tre-
mendous increase in population and
the fact that huge portion of
recreational areas once held by the
District and Federal Governments
has been taken over for war pur-
poses.

ing on the various projects, extend
ing from conception of the improve
ments through surveys and prepa-
ration of plans for contractors bids,
was going forward as Federal
State undertaking and was being
financed by 10000 900 authorized in

and study in planning are consider
ed eligible for these funds" Gen.
Fleming said.
, Most, Of the projects are expected
to be undertaken after the war.
THE funds, the general added,
"are not available for projects that
require only normal engineering
work in advance and construction.
Form Public Works "Shelf."
These ma jor road building under
takings, together with normal ex-
tension Of the primary and sec

postwar readjustment."
Gen. Fleming pointed out that
the projects on which the Public
Roads Administration and State
