ence on Welfare Department activi-
ties, a public hearing is scheduled
by the House District Committee
at 10 am. Wednesday on bill de-
signed to abolish the Board of We'll
fare as an independnt agency. This
will be conducted by the Fiscal At
fairs Subcommittee of which Rep
resentative Hunter, Democrat, OF
Ohio, is chairman.
The proposed legislation was sub
mitted by the Commissioners and
would strip the present board OF
advisory authority, after 16 years,
and create a new department of
public welfare, responsible directly
to the Commissioners.
Interested in Personnel.
Chairman Mahon of the Subcom-
mittee on District Appropriations is
especially interested in this proposal
because during hearings he directly
asked Director Conrad Van Hyning
of the Welfare Department If any
reorganization or important change
in personnel was contemplated and
was told no such change was antici-
pated.
Mr.. Van Hyning and members of
the board, the Commissioners and
representatives of civic associations
have been invited to attend the
hearings Wednesday. Under the
proposal all duties and powers of
the Welfare Board would be trans
ferred to the Commissioners and the
Welfare Board would be reduced to
the status of an advisory and visit
ing" body, where it now has inde-
pendent supervision over the various
District welfare and penal institu-
tionS.
Chairman Randolph said last
night he expects to announce to-
morrow the date for hearings of the
bill introduced by him in the House
and Chairman MacCarron of the
Senate District Committee on the
idential bills providing for adop-
ton of District housing code.
A subcommittee headed by Rep
resentative D'Alesandro, Democrat,
of Maryland, will conduct the hear
ings. The proposed housing code
would regulate the use, occupancy,
safety and sanitary conditions of
all dwellings in Washington, and
consolidate all inspection service
now conducted by six or seven agen-
cies in the Health Department, un-
der the direction of District Health
Officer DR.. George Rutland. 1t is
intended to be a model code for
cities throughout the United States.
Pay Bill Hearings.
Hearings are also expected to be
for $500 salary increases for mem
bers of the Washington Police and
Fire Departments. Additional cost
data is to be presented to the Sem
ate District Committee when 1t re-
sumed consideration of this sub
ject the latter part of the week.
The House Civil Service Commit
tee will continue hearings at 10 am.
Tuesday on two bills to provide
extra wartime compensation for all
Federal and District employees. One
bill sponsored by the employees or
ganizations calls for $500 annual
wartime bonus" and the other
is an administration bill, approved
by the President and submitted by
the Civil Service Commission, pro-
viding time and half overtime for
all Government employees receiv-
Ing less than $500.

Patient Pays Doctor
Bill He Had Forgotten
| After 30 Years

DR.. H. T. Willis, former
Mayor of Hyattsville, had a
surprise the other day-a
woman wanted to pay him a
30-year-old bill he had long
since forgotten.
The woman told the doctor
the bill was for bringing one
of her sons, now in the Navy,
into the world. To refresh
his memory, she told him he
came in a horse and buggy on
a bitterly cold night after the
doctor first called was not
available.
Saying she had not forgotten
his kindness, she offered to
pay DR.. Willis the full bill and
6 per cent interest. Although
the doctor offered to write the
debt off, they finally COM
promised.

den of the thinner routes in the
suburban areas and to meet the
local demand in the months or
years Immediately ahead"
Unless the transit company, pri-
yate capital or private initiative
prove able to furnish the required
public transportation. or unless the
problem is solved by Federal author
tiles, it will become imperative"
for the county government to find
the answer, he said.
The government of Montgomery
County has resources to purchase
and operate public transportation
equipment, he said In addition, he
pointed out that the Maryland Leg
islature will meet next January
when legislation could be enacted
to authorize or finance the opera
ton of public transportation by the
county government.
County Has 60 Buses.
Even though Federal regulations
might prevent the county from pur-
chasing transportation equipment.
Col. Lee said, the county already
has so school buses and more than
a score of trucks which could be
used for that purpose.
In this connection. he pointed
out that new buses are reported as
still available to municipal and pub
lie school agencies School hours
could be staggered to make present
equipment do double duty, he added
The county administration should
move slowly" the statement con-
cluded, but whatever steps are pos
sible under existing law and reg
ulation will be taken to prevent
needless dislocation to the county's
suburban residential communities
by the impact of the national war
effort"

NEW YORK. March 13.-By per-
soral order of President John l..
Lewis OF the C. I. O.-United Mine
Workers, the charter of New York
union local which had accused Mr..
Lewis of non-co-operation with war
work has been revoked.
Representatives of the U. NJ. w.
by-products division descended on
the offices of the local-the Chemical
Drug and Cosmetics Workers of
America, l2,l65-with a court order
yesterday and stripped them of fur
niture and records covering $500
members.
Mr.. Lewis in his formal order said
the charter was being revoked be-
cause the local had refused to COM
ply with an order to break up into
smaller and more efficient units;
because it had fallen two months
behind in its payment of per capita
dues to the parent union, and be-
cause 1t had denied access to its
books to national union auditors.
Declaring the charter revocation
was "Hitlerlike" and predicting a
Nationwide revolt of u NJ. w.

would appeal the custer to c. I. o.

RIO DE JANEIRO. March 13.-
Furious throngs of Brazilians as
saulted big German department
stores and other Axis enterprises on
Rios main avenues yesterday in
hours of rioting after this largest
Latin American republic had ad-
vanced to the edge of war by seiZing
many assets of German, japanese

Inf1amed by the sinking of four
Brazilian ships, screaming crowds
shattered the show windows of Ger

window and counter displays and
forced other German firms to run up
Brazilian flags.
Shouts of kill Them" Heard.
Thousands milled in the broad
thoroughfares, shouting Kill them!"
"TraitorS!" Dogs"
A sudden rainstorm and some
$500 civil and military police finally
dispersed the crowds in late after
noon after they had stormed Ger
man and Japanese businesses, Caus-
ing heavy damage and injuring a
few Axis nationals. No Italian stores
were reported attacked.
Shots fired into the air by police
and riot squads dispersed a crowd
of about 500 persons gathering to-
day in front of German stores, ap-
parently intent on resuming yester-
days anti-NaZi disorders.
Newspapers and radio stations
told nothing of yesterdays riots ex-
cept the Official announcement that

controlled business establishments,
which were attacked or damaged in
the afternoon, also were guarded.
However, authorities we're most
gentle with the demonstrators and
made little effort to aid several
Germans and Japanese who were
manhandled during the day.
Police at first did little to stop the
attacks, firing few shots in the air,
but after two hours truckloads Of

Police extricated the customer from
the angry pedestrians. A few per-

expelled. Meanwhile, thousands
were gathering outside, snarling all

While many Germans huddled in

shutters and other German houses
followed suit.
Window Corners Ripped Away.
Flowing into the intersecting Rua
Ouvidor, the crowd then ripped away
latticed metal window covers from
the blacklisted Casa Alema, smashed
the glass. tore out window dummies
and other properties and strewed
them in the roadway.
The crowds descended also on the
big buildings of Hermann Stoltz g.

to hoist huge Brazilian flags. The
crowd sang the national anthem
and moved on.
A pro-German newspaper, the

raise the Brazilian flag under the
threat Of Sacking its building.
