Randolph Asks Study
Of Nursery Project
D. c. Inspector Refused
Noylor Gardens Permit

Engineer Commissioner Kutz to-
day is considering a request from
Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee that special at
tention be given to the proposed
establishment of a nursery school at
Naylor Gardens, Defense Homes
Corp. project in Southeast Wash
ington.
Representative Randolph inter-
vened at the request OF Edward M.
Blanchard, property manager of the
development. Mr.. Blanchard wrote
to Mr.. Randolph, telling of the pro-
posed conversion of a wo-story con-
tractor S Office on the premises into
a nursery school, His request for an
occupancy permit had been refused
by the District inspectors office. Mr..
Blanchard said, because the struc-
ture is more than II feet over the
building line. In addition, the frame
building was erected under a tenn
porary building permit, the inspec-
tors Office said.
More than so mothers already are
interested in the day-care project
Mr.. Blanchard said, and about 100
more are expected to participate in
the program. The management
planned to put in a heating system
to convert the building as a COM
bination nursery school and recrea-
ton center.
The management does not expect
to conduct the school, however, &C
cording to Mr.. Blanchard. It is
hoped that either the District school
system or an organization such as
the District Red Cross or American
Women's Voluntary Services will
take it over.
Three thousand persons are ex-
pected to be housed in Naylor Gar
dens. About $50 apartments soon
will be completed.

Noted Psychiatrist
To Aid Gen. Hershey

Because of the alarming number
of draft reflections for mental and
nervous disorders, Maj. Gen. Lewis
B. Hershey, selective service director
has called in DR.. Raymond W.
Waggoner, director of the Uni
versity of Michigan's Neuro-psy-
chiatric Institute, as a consultant.
Approximately % per cent of
selectee reflections have been for
mental or nervous disorders.
Selective service officials are con-
cerned over the large number of
otherwise eligible men turned back
because, in the opinion of examin-
ing physicians. they lacked suffi-
cient stability to stand the transit
ton from civilian to military life.
Army medical officers are reported
to feel that there should be a more
definite basis of decision in these
cases. DR.. Waggoner is expected to
work out a form for local boards
containing more complete personal
histories.

Warned Of Restriction
On Use Of Wafer
Early Summer Warning
Gets Little Response,
Engineer Declares

The Washington Suburban SAM
tary Commission warned today that
rigid restrictions will be placed on
all nonessential uses of water in
sections of Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties adjacent to the
District unless more voluntary CO.
operation is obtained.
Notices are being sent to water
consumers in the areas affected
requesting them to refrain from
using water for sprinkling. A similar
appeal was made earlier in the
summer, but the response thus far
has been negligible, according to
Harry R. Hall, chief engineer of the
commission.
While there are approximately
Observation-Disclosures gallons of
water In the commissions reservoir
on the Patuxent River, Mr.. Hall
pointed out that filtration plant
facilities are inadequate to take care
of the demand with sprinkling.
1--WE have the same filtration and
pumping facilities now he ex-
planned, "as we had three years ago
in the face of a population increase
Of between $4,000 and $4,000"
An additional filtration plant to
supplement the one at Burnt Mills
is under construction at Laurel, he
said, but it will not be completed
until next spring. The Burnt Mills
filter plant has a capacity of 10000
COO gallons daily. In case of emer-
gency it can handle up to 10000 ,0OO
gallons day, he added.
In the spring the plant was pro-
ducing 100000 gallons of water a
day, but the present summer de-
mand has risen to 14,00O, 900 gallons
necessitating the drawing of water
from Washington
This load is too heavy to be
carried continuously by our filtra-
ton and pumping facilities and does
not leave us with any margin in case
of fire or leakage" he asserted.
Unless home owners served by the
commission refrain from using
water for non-essential purposes, a
strict ban with penalties for viola
lions will be placed into effect, he
said.

Processed';; More
Volunteers SOUGHT

The District Office of Price Ad-
ministration today called for addi-
tional volunteers to help process the
new No. War Ration Books, and
announced that many local resi-
dents will have to wait from several
days to week longer for the new
coupons.
According to the OPAs schedule,
all No. 3 books were to have been
placed in the mail by last night
for delivery to local applicants. In
stead. the OPA said today, many
will not be in the mail until tomor-
row or Saturday, and may not be
delivered until sometime next week.
About $1,000 of the books still
must be "processed" and prepared
for mailing, the OPA reported.
An OPA spokesman assured local
residents that all the books will be
delivered here before any of the
coupons in them become valid.
The spokesman further requested
that local residents refrain from
telephoning the OPA Mailing Gen.
ter to inquire about the delay. This
only causes additional delay, the
spokesman said.
Volunteers VIII owish to help with
the processing should seek addi-
tional information from Mrs. Clew-
ell Sykes at District OPA headquar-

Petrol Firm
Appeals Order
On Oil Sales
OPA Edict Bans
Wholesale Buying
By Steuort & Bro.

An OPA order suspending whole
sale operations of the Petrol Corp.
in the Washington Baltimore-Phil-
adelphia area from August 1 to De-
cember l, which would prevent the
corporation from selling any fuel oil
during that period to L. P. steuart
81 Bro, Inc, here, has been ap-
pealed by Petrol, it was announced
today by Renah Camalier, local at
torney.
Representing both the Petrol Corp.
and the Steuart Co., Mr.. Camalier
announced that assurances had
been received from the Petroleum
Administrator for War that the OPA
order would not cause any suffering
here. If the order is put into effect,
forbidding transfer of oil between
Petrol and Steuart here during the
four months, the PAW will see to
it that Steuart gets another SUD-
plier to care for the Steuart Gus.
toners.
Ration Violation Charged.
The OPA order was issued by
Joseph Harrison, acting hearing
commissioner of the OPA for Region
No. 2, following hearings on the
case IN Philadelphia. The Petrol
Corp. is charged in the order with
having violated ration order No. II
on four different points.
The order says that Petrol trans
ferred fuel oil to consumers without
detaching from said consumers
ration coupon sheets, at the time
OF the transfer or thereafter, cou-
pons equal in gallonage to the fuel
oil transferred.
Speaking for both Petrol and
Steuart, Mr.. Camalier today denied
this charge. He said that oil cou-
pons representing such transfers
were locked up in the Steuart COM
pany's safe here under seal of the
OPA. Mr.. Camalier also denied
other charges in the order.
Appeal to OPA Order Filed.
The appeal to OPA from the
order, he said, had been filed by
Howard C. Cummings, general
counsel for Petrol at Philadelphia
and by himself.
On behalf of independent gas
oline dealers in the Baltimore area,
Senator Tydings, Democrat, of
Maryland asked the OPA to modify
its suspension order to permit de-
iiveries to these dealers in Baltimore
and adjacent areas. ..
In addition to the charge of fail
IRE to detach fuel oil coupons, the
OPA order charges violation Of
other details of the rationing sys-
tenn supposed to follow exchange
of ration coupon sheets. The order
applies only to the wholesale BUSH
ness of the Petrol Co. and appar-
emily does not affect it's dealings
with actual consumers, such as
householders.
Testify at Hearing.
Curtis S. Steuart, vice president
OF l.. P. Steuart & Bro, testified
at the hearing in Philadelphia.
Also appearing were officials of the
PAW.
OPA officials admitted that the
Petroleum Administrator Office
was in on the case and that they had
given assurance that no consumer
would be cold this winter because
of the OPA order directed at pen
alizing the Petrol Corp.
The OPA order will become effec-
tive August l, officials said, unless
the Petrol Co. files petition for
stay and the stay is granted. The
procedure on appeals is lengthy, it
was pointed out, and probably could
not be effectuated in time to make
any change in the order going into
effect on time,
