Swimmers Told 10 Take
Soap Showers at Pools

Health Officer George c. Rutland
today appealed to swimming pool
operators and the general public
to observe the health regulation re-
quiring soap and water showers for
all persons before they enter District
pools.
This is required, he pointed out.
under the swimming pool regula-
tions adopted by the Commissioners
two years ago. Prior to that, pools
were required to have showers, but
the use of soap was not specified. 4
Compliance, he said, will lower
the bacterial contamination of tho
water in the pools, lessen the neces-
sary dosage of chlorine, maintain D
higher efficiency Of operation, per-
NIT more swimmers to swim at onb
time and assure them a more santr
tary swim.
Since rationing on the use q
swimming pools has been suggested,
the Health Department has been
studying means Of keeping a high
standard of maintenance because q

R0TC Ordered
Military Training
Compulsory for All
Male Students
b. the Associated Press.

b. the Associated Press.
Or. Fl. c. Byrd, University Of
Maryland president, said today I'M
mediate steps would be taken to
put in effect compulsory ROTC
training for male students from
their freshman year to graduation.
Male students, previously required
to take two years of military train
ing, will be required to undergo
ROTC training during their entire
careers here under a ruling made
by the schools Board of Regents
late yesterday in Baltimore.
DR.. Byrd, saying the change was
a wartime measure only, said he
believed Maryland was the first
State University in the Nation to
take such action.
Increase to $500.
The university president said the
schools ROTC regiment would be
increased from 400 to about $500
and that the new policy would en-
tail expansion of the physical train
ing program and changes in the
curricula.
The physical training program
would put emphasis on work to
tougher up and give more dex-
terity to the future officers he
said, adding that the expanded pro-
gram would be under the specific
direction of an Army officer and
would be part of the overall physi-
cal program handled by Clark
Shaughnessy, university coach.
Change Favored by Army.
DR.. Byrd, who said changes IN
the curricula were recommended by
the War and Navy Departments to
give students more training in
physics, electronics and mathe-
matics, declared:
"ROTC training for the boys
entire college career will give the
student a better opportunity to get
commission upon graduation. We
want to give them the best possible
training as future officers"
He added that the War Depart
ment looks with favor upon the
change" DR.. Byrd said time would
be needed to make the change COM
plete because only half the male
student body is now in school and
because more equipment and uni
forms must be obtained
by next fall the program will bs
in full swing" he said.

streetcar or bus fare serve to keep
the low-salaried Government work
ers in the cheaper class of rooming
houses.
Even though a rooming house in
war-congested Washington may not
be the best place to live-and COM
plants from Government workers
who live in them are numerous
the people who operate such places
have their troubles, too. Most of
them are caused by undesirable
tenants who are difficult to evict
because Of the Districts drastic
rent control law. Failure to pay
rent or immoral conduct are about
the only grounds for legal eviction,
and as a result. the rooming house
proprietors claim they have had
TO put up with a lot" from some
OF the Government workers.
Many Girls Untidy.
One Of the most universal COM
plants is that girl war workers are
"untidy'-they leave their cloth
ing scattered around on beds, chairs
or the floor. and put up improvised
clothes lines in their rooms on which
to dry stockings and underclothes.
Here are few others, collected
from housing officials and the room
ing house operators themselves:
l. Roomers who raid" the pro-
prietor's refrigerator for a mid
night snack"
2. Those who return from a party
inebriated and create a disturbance.
3. Those who carelessly leave
lighted cigarettes on furniture and
burn irreparable holes in it, or throw
butts" on the bathroom floor.
4. Those who demand pitchers of
ice water in every room, or other
such services as provided in hotels.
''Necking" q Problem.
5. Girls who meek" on the front
steps until 2 or o'clock in the
morning.
6. Women who hang their freshly
washed underclothes on q banister
to dry.
7. Those who paste pictures of
Nelson Eddy and other concert or
movie stars on the bedroom walls.
8. Those who send soiled clothes
to the laundry and fail to leave
money with the proprietor to pay
the bill.
8. Those who fail to wash the
rings of the bathtub.
10. And those who make COM

Two Draw Jail Terms,
Two Fined S1,500for
Files Data Removal
Harlan CrundoIl Is Given
a Months to Year and Day
As PIeo Is Rejected

Two men were in jail today and
two others under order to pay fines
of $500 each for conviction on
charges Of illegally removing about
$4,000 confidential personnel infor-
nation sheets from the files OF the
Civil Service Commission. g.
Sentenced in District Court yes
terday, they were: Harlan w. Gran
dali, four months to a year and .
day; Lawrence L. Haynes, two to
six months, and Walter A. C. Camp
and Werner j. Orbach, fines OF
81 500 each. They were convicted
three, weeks ago after a lengthy
trial.
In imposing the sentences, Justice
James w. Morris pointed out that
it had been proved beyond question
that there was no element of sub
versive activity in the crime, as had
been at first indicated. The sheets
were used to make up mailing list
for a business firm.
Justice Morris told Crandall he
was receiving the heavier penalty
because his culpabllity apparently
was the greater. CrandaH was a
Civil Service Commission employe
who had custody of the records.
After sentence was imposed, he
made a special plea to the Judge,
saying that he had suffered heavily
for the crime already and that he
did not "believe it would help to
send me to jail"
The jurist replied that Crandall
had received all the consideration
the court thought he was entitled to.
Justice Morris said he did not
think the others were quite as
guilty, and in the case of Camp
and Orbach, that they would not
have initiated such an enterprise
but entered it in order to recover
money which they had pledged to
pay.

the case OF some other rooming
houses.
Popular With Occupants.
Housing officials rate this partic-
ular rooming house among the most
popular in the neighborhood. Vacan-
cies seldom occur. The new Health
Department regulations, however,
will force some changes in this
house. The basement bedrooms, for
instance, will have to be abandoned.
Brighter artificial illumination will
be required in the dark Railways
and lock and key must be pro-
vided for every room used for sleep
ing purposes.
Other rooming houses in the area
housing from IL to Is Government
employees will be compelled to make
more extensive alterations or reduce
the number of roomers. These are
the houses that have only one bath
room and small bedrooms. The new
regulations stipulate there shall be
separate toilet and bath facilities for
each 10 occupants, and at least so
square feet of floor space for each
person in rooms used for sleeping
purposes.
A survey has shown that, even
though less desirable, accommoda-
tions in the older rooming houses
fringing the business section are
more crowded than in those in dis
tant areas. According to housing
officials there are two main reasons
for this situation. First is the fact
that there is no problem of transpor-
tation. The departments in which
the Government workers are en-
ployed are within walking distance.
Second is the fact that many of the
new Government clerks, especially
those from small towns, prefer to
live near the "bright-lght" district.
Distant Rooms Costlier.
There Is another factor, too. The
rooming houses In outlying sections,
as Q rule, charge slightly higher
rates because they are more modern
and have more TO offer In the way
Of comfortable living. Many Of them
have lawns and recreation rooms in
the basement which roomers are
allowed to use without additional
cost. Single rooms In NOSE Of these
houses range from $25 to $50 q
month; double rooms, $35 to $45.
These rentals, plus the additional

area, where rooming houses are
flourishing because of their prox-
unity to the Government depart
ments. There are hundreds of such
houses in the section lying between
G street1and Rhode Island avenue
and Ninth and Twenty-second
streets.
One of the typical rooming houses
in this area is a three-story and
basement brick home, built prob
ably in the early '80s. Antiquated
gas light fixtures are still in place
although electric lights are used.
The two bathtubs in this huge IL
room house and the other sanitary
facilities date back to the original
vintage of porcelain bathroom fix
lures.
Railways Dark.
The floors and other wood trim
in the house are painted a dark
mahogany. The papering is brown.
The stairways and long Railways
are naturally dark and the bedrooms
are not much brighter, even though
there is a dash of color from the
bedspreads and pictures on the
walls.
Yet in this house live 10 Govern
ment war workers-15 women and
4 men. Two of the men occupy
small rooms in the basement-rooms
partitioned of with composition
board not far from an aged coal
furnace which has been converted
into an oil-burner. An iron cot,
a reading table and a chair are
the only furnishings in each Of
these improvised bedrooms. The
recent charge for each is $3.50 q
month.
A kitchen is in the basement and
with exception Of reception room,
there are beds in all other rooms.
The proprietor has her office and
sleeps on q cot in q small middle
room on the first floor. In the larger
rooms there are two iron single
beds. In most instances two women
share these rooms and the rental Is
$21 so q month each.
Each roomer Is furnished three
clean towels q week and the bed
linen Is changed once a week. Their
rooms are cleaned and busted daily.
Washing In the bath rooms of socks
and stockings and umdergarments d

charge for the hot water used, as In

City Heads Reject
Citizen Study Plan
For Welfare Bill
To Push Legislation
After U. S. Aide Submits
Proposed Revision

Rejecting suggestions by the
Board of Public Welfare for ap-
pointment of citizens committee
to study and report on their bill
to convert the board into an ad-
visory body, the District Commits
sioners plan to push ahead with
such legislation, 1t was made clear
today.
However, they said they would
withhold action until they had re-
ceived a revised draft of the bill
which is to be presented to them
by Oscar M. Powell, executive di-
rector of the Federal Social Security
Board. Mr.. Powell has agreed in
principle to the Commissioners
plan but suggested some changes
were essential.
Recent hearings before members
of the House District Committee
were adjourned after one session to
permit opposing groups to hold con-
ferences with the idea Of at least
some consolidation of viewpoints.
Both sides agreed the present setup
called for changes"
Fear Effect Of Delay.
Decision to omit naming the citi-
zens' advisory committee was
reached by the city heads on their
assumption that delay might kill
the move. The Commissioners did
not state this reason formally but
it is known to be their general as
sumption.
After Mr.. Powell has presented
his suggested draft for considera-
ton by the Commissioners, they
will seek action on Capitol Hill, they
said.
Opposition to enactment of a bill
which would reduce the Board of
Public Welfare to nothing more
than an advisory group" was voiced
yesterday by the board of directors
Of the District of Columbia Congress
Of Parents and Teachers.
Action by this group, representing
nearly 19, 900 persons, was taken be
cause of our unwillingness to con-
sent to the surrender of another of
the dwindling prerogatives of the
citizens of the District of Columbia
such as would result from enact
ment of the proposed legislation"
Ask Rules Interpretation.
Relative to the alleged gag rule"
imposed by the Commissioners on
department heads seeking congress
sional appropriations for measures
not approved by the Commissioners,
the P.-T. A. board in another resolu-
ton said I'VE deplore the evident i'm
plication of gag rule but in view
of the public statement of Corpora
ton Counsel Richmond Keech that
Interpretation was needed we re-
quest that such Interpretation be Of
ficially furnished, and we be ad-
vised."
After discussing the Bilbo bill
dealing with liquor and moral con-
ditions affecting men in the armed
services, the Congress by resolution
affirmed its confidence in "the
ability, responsibility and good
sense of the Secretaries of the
Army and Navy to administer those
laws covering the maintenance of
the moral welfare and health of all
the men under them"
In the discussion board members,
it is understood. expressed the view
that if restrictions should be deemed
