Yuletide Tree Lights
Fast Disappearing

Washington may have plenty of
Christmas trees but lights TO deco
rate them are hard to find. The
larger department stores report
their scanty stocks either bought
out or almost gone.
Because of the critical materials
involved, no tree lights were manu-
factured this year, and stores de-
pended on supplies left over from
last year.
One store reported it had few
outdoor lights remaining, but this
type of decoration has lost favor
among Washington householders
because outdoor displays have been
discouraged.
| The preWar tree balls are virtually
nonexlstent. Some stores are sell
J ing substitutes made of glass.
! Folks are either using last years
tree lights or none at all. Fire
Department authorities frown or
candles and they are hard to find
too.
Meanwhile Christmas trees con-
tinue to pour into the city as hope.
full sellers seek to take advantage
of the fact no ceilings have beer
placed on trees, Wreaths and other
decorations
Some dealers, unable to find 9
vacant lot or strategic street corner
to set up their trees, are being forced
to sell directly from trucks.

Diphtheria Immunization
Given 1900 Children Here

The Health Department today re-
ported that 9,909 children, largely of
the school entrance age, have been
immunized against diphtheria during
the fall and early winter campaign.
This represented a % per cent in
crease over the number immunized
last year.
In addition, the department said
about 5000 infants and pre-school
children are immunized each year
In the child health clinics which are
maintained as part of the child
health protection program of the
Bureau of Maternal and Child We'll
fare.
In 1885 the departments records
show 963 reported cases of diphtheria
and 20 deaths. Immunization was
intensified about that time and since
then each year there has been drop
in both the number of diphtheria
cases and the number of deaths. In
1943 there has been only one death
from the disease in the city and only
Is cases have been reported. If no
deaths are added during the balance
of the year the District will have
established new all-time low death
rate for dipntheria, Health Officer
George G. Rutland said.

Postwar Planning Vital to D. c.,
Gen. Grant Tells Trade Board

Postwar planning, demanding CO.
operative action, is vital to the life
OF every resident of the District,
Washington businessmen were told
at meeting of the Board of Trade
last night.
Keynoting the program was Mai.
Gen. U. S. Grant III. chairman of
the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, who declared
a housing shortage was certain and
would have to be met primarily by
private enterprise He added that
public agencies would have to supply
homes for the lowest income groups.
Zoning should go beyond the con-
troll of the use of land and the
amount of it that may be occupied
by buildings, and should include
some control over the density of
population, Gen. Grant said.
Mistakes of the Past.
He emphasized that the cost of
Slum clearance is due to our hav-
ing allowed the unfavorable condi-
t1onS to arise and exist. When
you talk today about this cost. it is
necessary to keep vividly in mind
that the mistakes of the past are
what you are paying for"
Asserting that city planning must
be social as we'll as economical. Gen,
Grant said it is necessary more than
ever to provide conditions that will
oJt
the coming generation. and save the
city from the burden of costs aris-
ing from crime, disease. dependency
and slums"
He doubted the wars end would
bring a sudden drop in the number
of Government employees. adding
that war agencies rehabilitation
may be spread over a considerably
longer period than was the case in
previous wars.
Touches on Traffic Rise.
Gen. Grant touched on the great
increase in traffic to be expected on
District streets when general use of
the automobile is established:
told of the necessity of diverting
this traffic from congested areas;
favored construction Of a bridge
across the Potomac at the north end
Of Alexandria; outlined the desira-
bility of integratin9 new school
with the playground PROB
lem; directed attention to the future
of the Potomac gorge
10 1lr 70 p,,l
and cited savings accruing to the
city in acquiring Rock Creek Valley
and other areas
He stressed that with the de-
creased working hours that are an
inevitable consequence of techno-
logical improvement there will be
a corresponding increase in leisure
hours" This factor, he said, de-
mands careful city planning.
Alluding to the proposed reor-
ganization of the Planning Com
missions functions. Dr. Weldon
Cooper, director of the division of
administrative management. Bu-
reau of the Budget. said conflicting
interests Of operating agencies and
the Planning Commission can be
reconciled
Good as Its Ideas.

only as good as its ideas. 1t must
constantly. look ahead, yet author
lty to carry out plans rests with
operating agencies. A study of
Washington's past clearly reveals
this conflict from the beginning

.E|ks' Leader BIames
Rise in Delinquency
On Moral Breakdown

A gradual breakdown in moral
standards rather than the war. to-
Gay was blamed for an alarming
increase" in juvenile delinquency by
Frank j. Lonergan. grand exalted
ruler of the Benevolent and Pro-
tective Order Of Elks, who was here
on an official visit.
Mr.. Lonergan, prominent Port
land tOregJ attorney, said that
while some communities seem to
have a, worse situation than others.
he has received reports of increas-
ing Juvenile delinquency wherever
he has gone on his tour.
/ The only answer I can see." he
said, is a return to religious and
moral training and that means a
job for the parents
Urges Action by Lodges.
In his tour of the country, Mr
Lonergan is calling on local lodges
to take the lead in arousing the
public to the grave danger
through joint action with such
groups as churches, school organiza-
tionS and civic associations.
| Mr.. Lonergan discounted theories
that juvenile delinquency results
from mothers working in war in
dustries I've known many women
who worked and raised fine fam
lilies" he said. The reason, as
see it, is that the children aren't
being trained properly. This situa
ton has been coming on a long
time"
Pointing out that the $4,000 men,
bers of his organization have
pledged their resources to the wal
effort, the Elks' leader said 81 fra
ternal centers for men and women
in the services have been set up.
To Place Wreath on Tomb.
| Mr.. Lonergan, who will be at the
Mayflower Hotel until tomorrow
afternoon, was to place a wreath
on Washington's tomb at Mount
Vernon today after luncheon by
the Alexander lodge at the George
Mason Hotel. He will be the guest
of the Washington lodge at dinner
at the MayfoWer Hotel tonight and
afterwards will initiate class of sc
named in his honor.
! Tomorrow he will dedicate an
amplifier installed by the Washing
! ton lodge in the Forest Glen Annex
of Walter Reed Hospital.

is Fertile Place.
For Dry Program
BY DON S. WARREN.

Warning that Washington "fs
fertile place for the prohibitionists
to become active" Representative
Cochran, Democrat, of Missouri,
today made another attack on the
District Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board, insisting 1t should take more
severe action against violators of
District liquor rules.
Referring to the agency as the
Wisecracking ABC Board" he said
in statement:
I notice where one dealers Ii
cense will be suspended because he
Is charged with having sold liquor
to minor. In my opinion, II the
board was aware that this individual
or individuals knowingly sold liquor
to minor the license should not
have been suspended, but revoked.
When a man knowingly violates
the law and regulations, if drastic
action is taken, violators will be
few and far between"
Very Serious Situation"
Apparently referring to the recently
announced plan for cooperation be-
tween the ABC Board and District
OPA officials in prosecution of erring
liquor licensees, Mr.. Cochran said:
AT long last the wisecracking
ABC Board seems to have come TO
the conclusion that there is a very
serious situation in Washington as
far as the regulations for the distri-
button and control of alcoholic bev-
erages are concerned.
Every other government agency
knows this, and undoubtedly the
activity of the OPA. the Federal
Alcoholic Board. the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue and the Federal
Trade Commission has had the de-
sired effect upon the ABC Board
Those of us who are interested in
preventing return of prohibition
and the evils connected herewith
welcome activity which, in the end,
will bring about strict regulations.
Washington is a fertile place for the
prohibitionists to become active.
1T must be remembered that it
does not take a constitutional
amendment to dry up the District
and no one knows this better than
the professional prohibitionists. An
act of Congress alone would be suffi-
cient."
Cites st. Louis Case.
! Mr.. Cochran, who lives in st,
Louis, recalled how an excise COM
missioner there had handled an en-
forcement problem when he was
asked by another member of the
House what he would recommend
be done here. The Governor of
Missouri, he said, had notified the
excise commissioner, back in 1908,
to close st. Louis saloons on SUM-
days. Every one laughed when the
order was issued. he recalled. and
but few places were closed on the
subsequent Sunday
I Police who we're ordered to report
violations were blind" with the eX-
ceptlon of about dozen. Mr.. Coch-
ran reported, but the commissioner
ordered the reported violators be-
fore him for hearings and forthwith
revoked their licenses
/ The next Sunday all saloons were
closed and they remained closed"
said Mr.. Cochran, as he emphasized
that stern action will get results.
! Several weeks ago Mr.. Cochran
told the House much of Washing
tons liquor supplies were being
shipped out of here improperly and
that a black market existed. He
warned then that unless the ABC
Board busted itself about the matter
! 1t would hear from CONGRESS
