TO Low-Paid Families
Blocked From Homes
By ADA Regulation
New Housing Restricted
To War Workers, Says
Service Group Head

Between 10 and 80 low-income
families of the District are without
homes because of the restriction of
new Alley Dwelling Authority hous-
ing to war workers, William H. Sa-
vim, director of the Family Service
Association, declared yesterday.
The housing situation for the
Districts poorer families has grown
steadily worse, he said, despite the
fact welfare case workers are spend
ing as much as a fourth of their
time hunting rooms for them.
The latest to suffer for lack OF
housing are two colored families
who are to be evicted tomorrow and
for whom no place to stay can bt
found. Both families are father
less. One of the mothers has been
sick in bed and might be able to
get into a hospital if there were any
place to put her six children, all

Northern Europe. not only the Baltic

U. S. Stand Is Consistent.
The Germans. despite their insist
ence in their propaganda that they
are conducting holy crusade
against Bolshevism. have MAIN
tanned the Soviet economic and
social system in the Baltic countries
and also in the Ukraine and other
regions of occupied Russia. it was
said yesterday at the State Depart
ment. The three countries were
Sovietized in the IL months preced-
inc the Na2i attack on Russia.
The Nazis in the Baltic states pro-
claim themselves as the heirs to the
Soviets. They install their own
foremen. but they preserve agricul-
tural eollectivization and socialized
industry. To induce men and wom-

call this region "Ostland."
The American attitude respecting
the Baltic states and the Russian
claim Is consistent with the policy
first enunciated concerning the
Japanese annexation of Manchuria
-non-recognition of territorial
changes accomplished by violence.
This policy does not mean that
the United States is guaranteeing
the reconstruction of countries an
neXed through force, but it does
mean that the United States Gov
ernment refuses to make any de-
clslons about the disposition of ter

1t is said authoritatively that the
uhl,ed States Is party to no terri
Lurl"l agreements in secret. The
state Department recalls that ter
rltorial agreements made during the
World War complicated the prob
lens OF peace making.
The United States continues to
recognize the ministers here of
Latvia and Lithuania-Dr. Bilmanls
and Povilas Zadeikis-and the Con-
sui General of Estonia, Johannes
Kaiv.
While the feeling in high quar-
ters is that the intense nationaIsm
OF the Baltic states would guide
them toward a postwar vote on
independence, caution is advised in
making any forecasts. For one
thing. the population of the three
countries has been seriously de-
pleted, and the strength of opposi-
tion to Russia may have been de-
pleted with it.

Some fears have been expressed
Informally here that the United
States and the Soviet Union are
headed toward political impasse on
the Baltic state question Sumner
Wells, then Acting Secretary of
State, condemned their annexation
in 1910. The Soviets insist that the
three countries-Estonia. Lithuania
and Latvia-belong to Russia. Yes
terday DR.. Alfred BilmaniS, Latvian
Minister here, said:
I'VE want and confidently expect
the Baltic countries to be free when
the war is over. Latvia belongs to
the Latvians. We don't want to be
under the Germans. We don't want
to be under the Russians. The Rus
slams MIXED us. Now the Germans
are milking U.s. We like to milk our
country ourselves. The Atlantic
Charter promises the re-establish-
ment of the freedom of the Baltic
countries.
I'VE like to live under our own
system. In Latvia, we have a sort
of Garden of Eden. and we have
been good gardeners. We will rebuild
our country and participate in
modern progress. With these coun-
tries, sovereignty is not simply a

them out because the structure was
being used illegally for housing.
The sole source of income for
both families comes from the Aid

the District Public Assistance Divi-
sion. One receives $54 month for
herself and her five children. The
other receives $50 month for her
self and her six children. Both have
lived in the District for 10 years.

still are in dispute about the pos
session Of the Wilma region. The
Russians in turn make claim to
the eastern part of Poland-a claim
which if successfully pressed would
make the Wilma question a matter
between Poland and the Soviets,
not Poland and Lithuania.

EUROPE:
Sufficient Food

Germany's conquest of Europe
early in World War II has assured
her of sufficient food to carry on the
conflict. At present, German rations
are three times higher than they
were at the close of the last war.
Besides being able to draw on all
of Europe for food, Germany's own
1943 production was at top levels.
Bread and cereal crops were said
to be one-third higher this year than
last.
The oilseed harvest was the best
in a generation, and butter produc-
ton totaled 708,000 tons. Millions of
foreign workers intensified cultiva-
ton of sugar beets and potatoes.
Cattle stock reputedly was higher
than 1899, and because Of increased
feed, plans were laid for raising
more hogs. In withdrawing from
the Ukraine, the Germans moved ali
of the cattle and machinery with
them.
The u. S. department of agricuI
ture estimated Europe's 1943 wheat
crop at Ia billion bushels, largeS
since 1899.

PEACE AIMS:
Three Faiths Agree

Identical peace aims have been
enunciated by representative of the
three great faiths of the United
States in seven-point declaration.
After months of study, the Federal
Council of Churches of Christ in
America, speaking for the Protes-
tants, Catholics and Jews, issued
a seven-point postwar program.
Salient points are:
/. A just peace based upon recog-
milton that "not only individuals, but
nations, states and international So
ciety are subject to the sovereignty
of God and the moral law" 2. States
must repudiate racial, religious or
other discrimination; 8. Safeguards
for all peoples, large and small; 4.
Equal educational opportunities and
political equality for minorities.
S. Guarantee of faithful fulfill
ment of international obligations; to
provide collective security by limi-
tation of ornaments; to compel ar
bitration of disputes. 6. Interna-
tional economic collaboration ''to as
sist all states to provide an adequate
standard of living for their citizens. I"
z. Security of the family and par
ticipation of labor in decisions af-
fecting its welfare.

RELIGION: Delegates to the 54th
triennial convention of the Protes-
tant Episcopal church, meeting in
Cleveland recently, authorized pro-
cedure moving towards eventual
"organic unity" with the Presbyteri-
an church.
MENINGITIS: The new wonder
drug penicillin may be the answer
to meningitis.
MEDICAL: Despite relentless eff
forts Of the army medical corps,
malaria has increased among Amer
lean troops abroad, reports Mai.
Gen. Norman Kirk, surgeon general.
On the other hand, venereal infec-
tions are being reduced, the major
revealed.
The head of the medical corps also
stated that wounded soldiers have a
much better chance of survival in
this war than in previous ones. Only
2e per cent of the wounded die
after treatment now, he said, which
is the lowest rate in the history of
warfare.

SOUTHWEST PACIFIC: /:
jap Posts CrumbIe

The Japanese position in the Solo
mons and New Guinea is slowly
crumbling. With the Allies holding
the advantage in sea and air
strength, the Japs have found it in
creasingly difficult to supply their
distant outposts, and latest in the
group to be abandoned was Kolom-
bangara in the Solomons.
Unable to use big cargo or naval
vessels because they would become
easy prey for the superior Allied
sea and air forces, the Japs are
continuing to rely on barges for sup
plying their advanced bases, and,
as in the case of Kolombangara,
evacuating men. Operated at night,
these barges are hidden along the
seashores by day.
In New Guinea, the Allies beat
back light patrols guarding the ap-
proaches to Madang, Jap air and
shipping base on the northeast coast.
The Allies were skirting the enc
my's main defenses in a wide, cir
cling movement, to fall on the base

PHILIPPINES:
Immediate independence

To combat Japanese propaganda
designed to obtain the support of the
Filipinos in the war. against the
U. S., congress has received a bill
to grant the Philippine Islands their
independence as soon as possible
rather than in 1916.
Following introduction of the bill,
President Roosevelt recommended
that action be taken on the proposal,
with provisions for economic free
dom, postwar rehabilitation with
U. S. help, and military security
through U. S.-Filipino cooperation.
In attempting to consolidate their
hold over the Philippines, the Japs
have been dinning the natives that
the U. S. is insincere in its promise
of granting them independence.

slap new levies on candy, chewing
gum, soft drinks, greeting cards and
other items.
Present taxes are paying for about
38 per cent of war expenses, and
the additional 101s billion dollars
would bring the figure up to almost
so per cent. In his statement to

Henry Horner broke their hold on
the state in 1886, he made peace

their power lay unquestioned.
Nash mixed politics with business.
AS he rose up the political ladder
through so years, he kept his sewer
age business, at one time drawing
IA million dollars in contracts from

ITALY:
Fight for Rome

Beating forward to Rome, Allied
armies ran into what appeared to
be the Germans first stiff defense
line across southern Italy.
In taking up their new positions,
the Germans entrenched themselves
on the north bank of the Volturno
river on the western coast, and
along the open, narrow plain on the
eastern coast. Between the two
coasts, their troops dug into the rug
ged mountains.
In all the line ran 125 miles across
Italy. Allied Generals Montgomery
and Clark brought up reinforce
ments for the first thrust at the enc
my's new positions, while U. S. and
British airmen pounded German
supply routes leading to the front.
Observers kept one eye cooked on
the Balkans, where German and
British units were fighting for small
islands in the Aegean sea, from
which an invasion fleet moving into
Greece or Jugo-Slavia could be
bombed.

Because stocks have outgrown

market three million head of cattle
in 1914 which they might otherwise
keep for milking, breeding or fat
tening.
In all, the VIA will work for an
increase of two billion pounds of meat
over this year, to bring total produc-
tion to 301s billion pounds. But be-
cause military, lend-lease and other

RUSSIA:

Storming the Dnieper river at
three points, Red troops cracked the
Nazis' last strong natural defense
line in Russia, and the enemy strug-
gled valiantly 20 check the new drive
before it could gain momentum.
Principal breach in the Dnieper
front was so miles north of Kiev,
where the Reds poured reinforce
ments and supplies onto the west
bank after gaining an initial foot
hold. The Nazis' problem was to
keep the Russians from building up a
force strong enough to drive for
ward and then swing back and take
Kiev from the rear.
In the north, the Reds recaptured
the important rail junction Of Newell,
a main artery leading to Leningrad
from the south, with lines branching
off into Poland to the west.
