The infection sweeping Norfolk,
dubbed "cat fever" by Navy per-
sonnet there, apparently is nothing
more than a bad cold, DR.. Thomas

He said he had talked with DR..

one Of the medical definitions of a
cold is catarrhal fever and that this
term apparently has been abbrevi-
ated by sufferers in Norfolk to "cat
fever"
DR.. Parran quoted DR.. Rigon as
saying that an epidemic of colds
has occurred in Norfolk and that
Navy men used the same term to
describe it that they gave to a GER

World War.
Meanwhile, Mrs. M. c. Weber, who
operates the Norfolk Nurses Registry

she Is being swamped with calls for

but there IS not a sufficient num-
Der OF nurses to 60 around. All

each were released to American Air
lines, Eastern Air Lines, United Air

REAL ESTATE
Tax Assessors Office
Lists Property for
Possible Court Sale
Test Cases Prepared
To EstubIish Validity
Of 1886 Phipps Act

The tax assessors ONCE has made
a survey Of property long delinquent
in taxes for possible sale through
court action, Edward A. Dent, Dis
trict tax assessor, said today.
Several cases already have been
filed in District Court by the COR
poration counsel's Office under the
Phipps Act Of 1886, which makes it
possible for the court to order sales
under certain conditions for taxes.
assessments, penalties, interest and
other costs incurred by the District
before or after filing the suit.
Under the law, never previously
used by the District, court action
can be started in cases where the
city has bought in" delinquent
property at tax sales, where no bids
have been made for it and where
more than two years have elapsed
from the time of the sale
The law provides that upon proof
of the failure of the owners of any
such property to redeem it, the
court may decree sale to satisfy the
lien of the District. The law then
provides:
Every such sale shall be reported
and confirmed by said Equity Court,
and no sale shall be made for an
amount less than such aggregate
taxes, interests and costs incurred
in the institution of the suit, includ-
ing advertising and sale, unless by
express order of the court" The
sales are to be carried out under
the direction of the tax collector.
None of the cases now in court
has been finally adjudicated. One
such case involves approximately
s90,000 in taxes and penalties and
1t is understood that the cases all
ready filed are considered test cases.
A list of more than 100 pieces Of
property has been prepared by the
assessors Office, but it will not be
submitted to court until the test
cases are settled and the validity Of
the title under such proceedings
established.

known to New York society as the
Count Nova de Tajo, who claims to
be a nephew of the Duke of Alba,
Spanish Ambassador to England,
was arrested in New York today on
charges of acting as an unregistered
agent of Nazi Germany, the Federal
Bureau of Investigation announced
here.
FBI Director j. Edgar Hoover
SAID VeJarano had entered the

since early in 1941. when it was re-
ported that he received $1,000 from
German espionage agents shortly
before he left Europe.
Mr.. Hoover said Vejarano had ad-
mltted he was sent to America by
the Nazi intelligence and paid ST 900
Tor vital information which Ges-
tapo agents expected him to fur
nish Germany" He posed as in
spector for steamship company of
a neutral country. according to Mr..
Hoover, and admitted sending let
tiers in code to his father who then
was the Spanish vice consul at St.
Jean de Luz, France.
The FBI said Vejarano's father
was a Spanish nobleman. The
charge against him is only that he
acted as agent of a foreign govern
ment without having registered with
the State Department.
The FBI announcement said the
count was well known in New York
society. In February, 1911, accord
ing to the FBI, he married Wilma
Baard, model, who was presented
to New York society in 1888 by a
group of IA uncles," who sought to
"lampoon the lavish debut parties of

kCHA Construction
Record Here Defended
By Building Trades
Union Council Questions
Statement by Lusk on
High Cost Of HOUSING

The Washington Building and
Construction Trades Council, In a
statement issued today, defended
the National Capital Housing Au-
thority's record in housing construc-
ton here, and said that the neces-
sary job of clearing the slums can
not be done by private operators
alone"
The statement was in answer to
Rufus Lusk, president of the Wash
ington Taxpayers Association, who
last Saturday asserted that public
housing he1e has cost two to three
times as much as that erected by
private builders. The council said
1t questions the truth of MIR. Lusk's
statement and emphatically denies
the implication that private housing
can be substituted for that which
Is built by the Housing Authority"
The new rental housing privately
built is beyond the means of low
income families" the council con-
tended. In contrast, the NCHAs
houses are well built and well main
tanned, and yet their rents. without
the aid of any subsidy, are much
below those of comparable private
construction"
The trades group further observed
that all the Districts slums were
built by private builders and are
owned by private owners"
The council" the statement said,
supports the National Capital
Housing Authority because it is do
ing necessary work that private
builders have not done, because it
Is providing good dwellings for peo-
pie who have not before had good
dwellings, and because it is neces-
sary to supplement what private en-
terprlse can do in providing employ
ment as war construction decreases"
The statement expressed fear that
the war effort will be "disordered"
unless We prepare now to take I'D
the slack in employment that would
follow the defeat of Germany before
Japan
Not only postwar planning but
postwar operations must begin now"
the statement said. The best way
OF keeping men keen on their war
jobs is to assure that they will have
peace jobs when the war Jobs are
finished"
