Federation of Citizens
Associations Fuvors
Using Toxes for Purpose

The Board of Public Welfare was
urged last night by the Executive
Board of the Federation of Citizens
Associations to consider establish
ment of an inebriate farm and legis-
laIion necessary for sentencing
chronic alcoholics to the institution.
1t was contended there was suf-
ficient money from liquor taxes to
set up such farm and that putting
inebriates to work on farm would
be less costly than sending them to
Jail over and over again.
The Fede,atio backed the action
of the Federation president and the
Public Utility Committee in filing in
District Court last week a petition
in the rate case of the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Co. A resolution of Ernest
F. Henry of Petworth directed the
president and the committee to pre-
serve "in all litigation every right
that the federation and its compo-
nent parts may have to, or for the
use of. peoples counsel"
In letter which Harry S. Wender,
president, has already been author

wise the President that the appoint
ment of peoples counsel was a

Some Steps" Reported Taken.
Announcement of the committees S

steps had been taken by the COM
pany, looking toward compliance
with the order against discrinmina-

national origin, but he said the
company had not yet employed
Negroes on its lines.
IF these remedial steps are found
to be adequate by the time of our
next meeting, August g." Father
Haas, said. I'VE will need no further
action. Otherwise, we shall call a
public meeting to decide the issues.
The FEPC also took action in a
case involving Negro workers in cer-
tain unidentified shipyards on the
west coast. Complaints had been
received from about 300 Negroes
who said they were dismissed from
closed shop job because they had
not paid dues to an auxiliary local
of the AFL boilermakers union.

elimination in employment as COM
pared to the white workers. The
FEPC wired both the union and

that there has been discrimination
against MeAicans brought into the
United States for wartime work in

The Staying of Thomas H. White,
36. Navy Yard employe, was be-
lieved solved today with the arrest

The three were arrested in con-
nection with the bludgeoning and
robbery of Mr.. White, the night Of
July 10, near his home at ST Ran
dolph place NV. The arrest of an
accomplice named by the men is
expected momentarily.
Ebert Ringwood, 18, was held for

United States Commissioners Need
ham c. Turnage. Campbell Wallace
Burnett, IT, who police say admitted
welding the 18-inch pipe with
which Mr.. White was fatally beaten,
was turned over to juvenile authori-
ties because of his age.
The third man, James Cecil Bar
rons, 27, was released
The three men, police said re-

Beach Resort
Cited by 0PA
II Area Violations
Are Reported Here
After Week End

Seventy-two violations of the
pleasure driving ban, including some
motorists apprehended at Rehoboth
Beach, Del, and Gibson Island, Md,
today were reported to the District
ONCE of Price Administration by
local OPA inspectors and enforce
ment officers of nearby States.
The OPA said indications were
that the motorists cited at the two
Eastern short resorts were weekend
pleasure drivers rather than vaca-
tionists, since they did not carry
vacation travel permits.
At the same time, the OPA cau-
toned motorists who are issued per-
mits by their local boards to take
the written permission with them
when they go vacationing. Those
who fail 70 do so, 1t was pointed out,
may have to appear at hearings to
clear themselves of pleasure driving
charges.
Most of the u alleged pleasure
drivers reported today were OBJ
served at Glen Echo, East Potomac
Park Swimming Pool, West Potomac
Park and in Rock Creek Park, the
OPA said. Nearby enforcement Of
icers, however, cited several Dis
trict drivers at the Fairgrounds in
Hagerstown, Md, in addition to
those reported from the two Eastern
shore resorts.
Meanwhile, in a statement issued
by President ]. Maxwell Smith, the
Keystone Automobile Club declared
that police have no authority to
seize" a motorists gasoline ration
book.
Where the ration has been legiti-
mately acquired, the statement said,
an officer who detects a violation of
rationing regulations is empowered
only to take the name of the mo-
torist and has him summoned for a
hearing
Even when it is plain that the ra-
tion has been acquired illegally, a
police officer has no power to seize
coupons and may take them only If
the motorist is willing to surrender
them, the Keystone Club main
tanned.
The statement attacked OPA
officials for failure to clarity a re-
cent amendment to gasoline ration
ing regulations, which gave police
officers the authority to receive the
surrender" of gasoline rations. Be-
cause of this lack of clarification, it
would not be surprising if police
overstepped the authority conferred
by the amendment, causing un-
called-for harassment of motorists, -
the statement added.
