Food POISONING
0fFive Blamed
On nIceShortage
Dealers Fear Cut
In Deliveries if
Heut Continues

A critical shortage in ice faces
Washington restaurants, hotels and
hospitals unless there is a break in
the heat wave, ice dealers said today
following the poisoning yesterday of
five persons who had eaten improp-
erly kept sea food.
A spokesman for the American Ice
Co., largest ice dealer in the city,
said that 'in spite Of everything" !"
deliveries were made on schedule
yesterday-"but we expect anything
to happen If this heat keeps up"
Some Of the smaller dealers did
not fare so well, however and many
of the restaurants were without ice
over the week end, situation which
was believed responsible for the food
poisoning cases.
Main difficulty In obtaining ice
was due to the manpower shortage
and the added burden put on sup
plies by the record d-breaking heat
wave. although variety of other
reasons contributed to the Ice short
age.
Ice dealers said the situation here
is reflected over the Atlantic sea-
board from Philadelphia to Florida.
Additional burdens were put on ice
supplies by heavy movement of
crops, manpower shortages and
transportation troubles.
The spokesmen here, however.
pointed out that single cool day
would make a difference in supply
ing ice and there was no reason, "at
this time" to get panicky.
AS far. as crop movement is con-
cerned, 1t was said. much OF the food
Is being moved In boxcars piled high
with ice, instead of in refrigerator
cars. thereby adding to the demand
for bulk ice.
One Of the leading ice distributors
here said his plant only had two
days supply left in storage because
OF the drain due to the heat. He
said he had attempted to get ice
from manufacturers in Cumberland,
Md; Alexandria. Va, and other
places, without success.
Ice houses also are experiencing
difficulty in obtaining the manpower
to distribute the ice to hotels. res
taurants and the like. In one large
distributing plant, there is an i'm
mediate need for about Is men
mostly storage helpers-and the
situation is reflected in more than
score of plants here.
The ice plants need more drivers
and helpers. in addition to men who
cut and store the ice. A spokesman
for one large plant said he could put
more than so men to work at once
Treated for food poisoning at

Jarboe, SIS, of 1914 Fourteenth street

Plan for Central Unit
For Federal Emp|oye
Groups Outlined
Proposal to Coordinate
Recreation and Welfare
Activity Is Submitted

The prospectus of a central recrea-
tlon organization to be formed
through the unit of individual en-
ploye groups has been submitted to
Federal recreation, athletic, welfare
and similar organizations for their
ratification. it was learned today.
A committee headed by Robert M.
Holmes. jr., president of the Lii
brary of Congress Recreation Asso-
citation, drew up the proposed plan
OF organization following a meeting
on June II of representatives OF
various recreational groups. 1t has
been sent to S. organizations. con-
servativelv estimated to have more
than $4,000 members.
s Functions Outlined.
Mr.. Holmes said that he believed
there probably were more Federal
recreational organizations, but that
55 was the number for which ne
had addresses. He estimated that
the departments and agencies, in
which these groups existed, had at
least 250.000 employees
ANY employe association in the
Federal Government which falls in
the category of recreation group is
eligible to be participating men,
ber," the constitution states. The
following are set forth as the five
functions of the proposed organi-
zation:
Il. To stimulate activity in the
individual associations through con-
tact with each other. and to CO.
ordinate their efforts.
%. To encourage the formation of
new individual employe recreation
associations where none exist, and
to foster their growth
"3. To do long-range planning for
permanent Federal employees, in
cluding the eventual erection of
recreation center and a stadium.
Cultural Activities Included.
81 To carry on an immediate pro-
gram for all Federal employees, with
special emphasis on making Wash
ington more attractive to the
temporary Government war worker.
by providing more and better rec
reational facilities, organizing more
clubs and teams, and sponsoring
popular activities.
"5. To sponsor cultural, social and
athletic functions such as operas,
seasonal fiestas and annual Gov
eminent track meets"
1t is proposed to incorporate the
organization on a non-profit basis,
to be governed by council con-
sisting of member employe recre-
alton associations throughout tie
Federal Government. No personnel
officer may represent an agency
which has an employe association.
1t is proposed that half of the
profits from the sale of tickets to
council-sponsored activities, sold by
individual associations, shall remain
with the associations. The associa-
tions, in turn, would make such
discounts to their individual men,
bers as they saw fit. The other half
of the profit would revert to The
council

The death of DR.. James Brown

The work meanwhile was halted.
Inquiries sent to scholars in dis

sponse. Mr.. Robinson pursued the
quest with zeal. DR.. Scott ran

books and drawings.
Finally, Mr.. Robinson "cut the
Gordian knot'-by painting on the
shoulders of De Vitoria the head

knew what had happened, it was
useless to protest. The picture now
