day by the House Appropriations
Committee in approving q 70,0O0,-

Authority for the fiscal year be-
ginning Wednesday. The Relocation
Authority is doing the Job for the
War Department.
Relocation of the japanese, about
two-thirds OF whom are American
born, involves questions of national
security and the problem of en-
abling the evacuees TO make q living,
protect their health, and continue
the education of children" the COM
mittee report said About 80 900 of
the evacuees are children under IA.
$1,000 In Assembly Centers.
approximately 10000 now are in
temporary assembly centers. 10000
are In permanent relocation areas,
10000 to $4,000 have been frozen
in Eastern California preparatory
to evacuation, and the others are in
the Western States awaiting volun-
tary admission to relocation centers.
The permanent relocation centers
will, when finally set up. have popu-
lations ranging from 1000 to 10000.
Their residents will engage in main
tenance and operation of the centers
and will be employed in war re-
location work corps. Under GER
tain conditions, private employment
outside the centers will be permit
ted, but In the main the Japs will
be required to stay within the con-
fines Of their communities.
A tentative wage scale, worked out
to enable the evacuees to buy things
not furnished free by the Govern
ment. provides for payment of $12
monthly to common labor. SIG for
semiprofessional and skilled workers,
and SO for professional workers and
those with supervisory and manage
ment ability.
Food, essential clothing. medical
care and education will be furnished
by the Government.
To Live american Way"
Current plans. the committee was
told by Relocation authority ofiicials,
contemplate as little departure as
possible from the normal American
way Of living in the relocation
centers.
Community stores will be set up
by the Government in each center,
the Japanese to operate them and
the Government to finance the pur-
chase Of the first stock of supplies.
For each 1900 persons the Govern
ment will furnish one doctor and for
each 1000 there will be 20 hospital
beds
The evacuees. the committee was
told, have been remarkably CO.
operative" and many Of them are
perfectly loyal American citizens"

Mr.. Early said the 2l9 900 tons
turned in did not include rubber sent
to collection centerS since June 27
nor rubber in the hands of the coun-
try's 10000 junk dealers.
Collections for the first six days
OF the drive had amounted to 100

figures still are disappointing to the
President and Mr.. Ickes," and
added:
They are disappointing particu-
larly in the sense that they don't in
dicate yet enough rubber is going to
come in TO provide the Army with
what 1t needs and to allow any for
civilian use"
Meanwhile the Senate Appropria-
tions Committee received an esti-
mate that the Nations rubber re-
sources might fall $50 900 tons short
of supplying military and public
transportation requirements by the
end of 1943.

mated at l,276,000 tons.

He said Army, Navy and lease
lend requirements for that period
would total 1856, 500 tons. In addi-
ton, he said, 226,000 tons were
needed for buses and trucks and
10000 tons must be set aside for
use in reclaimining rubber. He did
not enumerate other needs that
would push requirements 25O,000
tons beyond the supply, but added
that no allowance had been made
for tires for private autos.
Gen. Clay said the War Depart
ment estimated $4,000 tons of syn
thetic rubber would be produced by
December, 1943, and included this in
its reckoning of the potential supply.
Not included was a possible 800, 900

Mr.. Henderson repeatedly told the
committee that transportation,
rather than availability, was respon-
sible for the sugar rationing and
said that the War Shipping Admin
istration had very definitely indi-
Gated there are items preferred
above sugar.

voted to the idea that l am not

tions Of people" and, in reply to
question, said he had employed only
one person who was a relative
John E. Hamm, a cousin of Mrs
Henderson, to whom the adminis
traitor paid high tribute.
Testifying on June Ii, Mr.. Hem
derson had this to say about plans
to aid automobile dealers whose cars
were frozen and rationed:
That is one thing for which I
have special responsibility that I
feel that we have not done a good
job on. - I think that the Gov
ernment is going to take appro-
pirate action. Either We will let
the dealers sell the cars to a pool
or else the Government will make
an offer for them. to take them over
for transportation purposes"

groups, which means a general
rationing program.
Mr.. Henderson, expressing belief
there was "a very real danger" that
"our present price ceilings will not
hold" told the committee:
What we will be able to do rests
on the tax bill, and not only the
amount of 1t, but the nature of it,
how much is withdrawn from cur
rent spendable income. 1t depends
upon the amount Of savings; it de-
pends on the degree to which wages
are stabilized; and it depends upon
the course of farm prices. and it
depends upon the rate at which the
war effort proceeds"
But he expressed belief that the
once Of Price Administration "can
keep the cost Of living items down
to about" 6 to 10 per cent in
crease over previous levels.
Mr.. Henderson repeated previous
statements that prices could not
be stabilized without a stiff tax
policy and stabilization of farm
prices and wages"
To Do All He Can.
Il propose. he said. Ito do every
thing can on rents, prices and con-
sumner credit, in which I have an
obligation, and I expect to do every

Meridian Hotel Nears
Completion; Opening
Expected July IS
Occupants to Be Women
Workers in Salary
Bracket of 81 800

With work progressing on sched-
ule. the Meridian Hotel. at Sixteenth
and Euclid streets NV, constructed
as one unit in the relief of Wash
ingtons housing shortage, was near
ing completion today and Is ex-
pected to be ready for occupancy
on the date originally set, July Is.
To clear up a miSconception on
the part of some Government work
ers. who have understood the build
ing was to be a 'dormitory" for
Federal employees. F. c. Minnick,
manager and operator, said today 1t
is what its name indicates-a hotel,
with clientele restricted to woman
workers in Washington.
The hotel, Mr.. Minnick further
explained, is not to be Government
operated. 1t is owned by the De-
fense Homes Corp, a private or
ganization. though 1t was built with
funds lent by the Reconstruction
Finance Corp.
Some Government workers have
protested that the rentals to be
charged at the hotel are beyond the
means of those whose salaries are in
the neighborhood of 81 $40 annually.
The operators of the project agree,
admitting that rooms, renting for So
to 50 so weekly, can be afforded only
by those whose salaries are at least
$1,000.
At no time, however, did the De-
fense Homes Corp. intend to create
the impression a cheap-rental DORM
itory was being constructed, 1t is
emphasized. The Government, in
lending the money for the project,
assumed no responsibility for the
acts of the management, nor were
any stipulations made in the loan as
to rentals to be charged, according
to Mr.. Minnick.
Finishing touches are being put
on the building now. Furnishing Of
rooms already has been started and
landscaping is scheduled to be COM
pleted this week.

Paul Dean Is on the Way Back to the Majors; Other Half of Dizzy's Famous Act Is Card in Texas

Me has gone, but Paul may re- turn to the majors, which is an other way of saying that the big show may not have seen the last of the incredible hicks who pitched te St. Louis Cardinals to the world championship in 1884.
 From a broadcasting booth atop Sportsman'S Park, Dizzy Dean can only talk of the glorious and gar rulous days of Me and Paul" and the Gas House Gang.
 But Paul is on his way back.
 Texas Leaguers, who knew Paul when, declare that he looks as good as when he went up the first time Texas League umpires, who saw Paul when he had 1t all, say is as swift as he ever was. When an ole head pitcher like Rollie Naylor tes- tif1es to that effect, there must be something to it.
 Paul, whom National Leaguers considered faster than Dizzyq when both were in full stride, has won six out of seven for Houson, to which Red Bird farm he returned when the Giants gave up on him in mid-May of last year.
 Paul's arm trouble could be traced to his sympathy strike when or Dig held out on the Cardinals. He reported late for no reason at all, got off on the wrong foot, and something snapped. He was sent back to the Texas League and when he hobbed up with the Giants he was overweight, appeared unable to

ReiSer Was Last Great Find Of Barrret, Dean Of Scouts
keenness Of VeteF0n Ivory Hunter Led To Farm System
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service ports Editor

New York, June 15-Harold Pat rick Reiser's phenomenal success reminds you that the remarkable St. Louis youngster was the last great find of Charley Barrett, the late dean of scouts.
 It Is too bad that Barrett did not live to see Pete Reiser fulfill his prediction. Barrett, the inimitable story teller, passed away July {, 1889.
 Hes going to be one of the best" Old Charley used to say when Reiser, fresh from the knot hole gang, first worked out at SportSman's Park.
 It was @ costly blow to the Car dinals when Reiser was mixed up in their jam with Commissioner Landis, which led to l0O-odd ath- letes being declared free agents. DODGERS WOULD PAY $15O, O,OOO FOR REISER
 Reiser was tickled to pick up $l00 for signing with Brooklyn after St. Louis scout tipped Lar- ry MacPhail.
 If the Dodgers didn't have Rei- ser, they would pay 150,000 for, a center-fielder like him.
 The boy promises to lead the National Leaguge for the second time in his second full season.
 "If Reiser has 8 batting weak ness, I don't know what it is," observes Mickey Owen. Inside, out, high or low, he'll hit the ball. I've seen him get base hits on all kinds of pitches"
 Reiser has it all, including the ability to field ground balls like an infielder. He broke in as a shortstop.
 It was Barrett's uncanny knack of picking up fine ball players that led to the farm system.
 Barrett, who spent his baseball career In the Texas League be- cause he couldn't hit major league pitching, went to St. Louis from Detroit when Branch Hickey as- stunned command of the Red Birds in 1918. BARRETT KNEW PLAYER WHEN HE SAW GOOD ONE
 You could start with Jeff Tes- reau, Bill Killefer and Art Fletch- CT and fill book with the names of outstanding players recommend ed by Barrett, starting while he was still an active conbatant in the Texas League.
 Scouts began scouting Barrett. The very fact that he was in terested in a prospect was enough, and their outfits could outbid the Cardinals, who were having 8 tough time making both ends meet.
 So Hickey decided to buy q minor league club, where Barrett discoveries could be developed and retained for the parent organ ization. Rickey took over the Fort Smith club of the Western Associa- ton in 1920 as the first Cardinal subsidiary.
 To give you a rough idea, from that club came the illustrious Pepper Martin Charley Colbert, Chick Hafey, Taylor Douhit, Gus Mancuso and Flint Rhem.
 The Cardinals were off to the races.
 Charley Barrett fed them well right up to his last move.
