tuberculosis Tests
For Government Job
Applicants Ordered
Civil Service Rule Also
) Applies to Employees
Seeking Tronsfers

In an attempt to prevent the
spread of tuberculosis among Fed
eral employees the Civil Service Com
mission has ruled that future ap-
plicants for Government positions
In Washington must undergo an
x-ray chest examination.
Those already in Government
service are not affected unless they
seek transfer from one agency to
another. In these cases the receiv-
Ing agency will require the X-ray
examination unless the transferee
has had an examination within six
months of the date of the transfer.
Cases with positive findings will
be referred to the medical officer of
the appointing agency and to the
medical division of the commission.
Each case will be handled on an
individual basis and arrangement
will be made for those found to have
tuberculosis in an infectious stage
to be placed on an inactive status
and receive medical treatment.
DIR. A. Barklie Coulter. director OF
the Bureau of tuberculosis of the
Public Health Service, today hailed
the order as a step forward in the
right direction" DR.. Coulter previ-
ously had recommended adoption of
the new procedure and also urged
that all Federal employees should be
examined before they leave their
home towns. He expressed hope that
the latter measure would soon be
adopted.
Approximately 900 persons in the
District died from tuberculosis last
year, DR.. Coulter reported.
Most of these deaths were pre-
ventable. DR.. Coulter said. He said
many Of the cases were the direct
result OF the patients lack of CO.
operation in taking treatments, and
the fact that they refuse to 60 to
sanatoriums or left them too soon.

League officials appealed to per-
sons unable to retain their pets to

pets then will be put to death if no
suitable homes can be found for
them. This, it was pointed out, is
more merciful than to turn them

Citizens Renew
Plea for Probe
OF Housing
Two Committees
Urged to Act in
BrodbuTy Heights

The Special Housing Committee
Of the Southeast Council Of Citizens
Associations today renewed its ap-
peal for congressional investiga-
ton of what 1t alleges Is Mrs. Sam.
uel I. Rosenman,s special influence
over Federal agencies" and the "un-
usual actions" OF Mrs. Roosevelt, the
Federal Housing Administration and
the District Zoning Commission
with regard to housing matters.
Originally requested by the coun.
Tcn on March 20, when an S0-page
brief of charges was filed with the
Senate and House District Commit
tees, the investigation was urged
anew in letter to Chairman RAN
dolph of the House District Com
mittee.
In the letter, the councils Special
Committee pointed out that no ac-
ton has been taken on the original
request for an investigation.
Problem Called Emergency.
"The citizens of Southeast realize
that the press of war business makes
1t impossible for Congress to respond
Immediately to the requests of the
citizens" the letter said. However.
our problem is one Of an emergency
nature. Spring is here and certain
housing construction which Is OBJ
jected to by us will vev soon com.
mence unless our plea Is heard"
The Southeast Council several
months ago petitioned for rezoning
|of the Bradbury and Congress
Heights areas to prohibit the con.
struction of multi-family dwellings.
The plea was denied by the Zoning
Commission. with the result that
several multi-family developments
for colored occupancy are to be
started in these areas in the near
future.
In its brief filed last month the
Council asked reorganization of the
Zoning Commission, which it alleged
had been unduly Influenced in its
decision by Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs.
Rosenman.
Blames Influence
Today's letter from the councils
special Housing Committee, signed
by Joseph H. Deskman, chairman:
G. A. Barker, r. p. Randolph and ].
Lewis Gelbman, said the facts
clearly show that influences OF the
highest order were brought to bear
to force decisions of the Zoning
Commission and the Federal Hous-
ing Administration against the
wishes of the citizens of Southeast
Washington.
The committee added:
Normally, as good Americans. We
would honor the immunity dele
gated to the wife of the Chief Ex-
ecutive. However, when a person
occupying that position stoops to
the level Of interfering In local
matters which jeopardize the homes
OF the voteless citizens of Washing
ton, then we feel very strongly that
IaI immunity should be Withdrawn

Must Keep Boys Flying.
"The object is to keep the boys
flying, If possible" said Capt. Dugan
"Of course the approach differs with
individuals. You have to know them
all well. Some you must kick and
some you must talk to sweetly
Some will come around and others
won't. There are a few shaky ones
that you can keep going for a long
time, more or less on a day-to-day
basis. But If the mans nerve is
really gone all you can do is send
him home. There is no wizardry
possible. It's all pretty much a
matter of common sense. You can't

A pilot joined this group last year
at Bengazi. He became highly ner-
vous after a few missions. Capt
DGgan had him sent to the hos
pital where checkup revealed
nothing physically wrong. He be-
gan to fly again, but turned back
repeatedly. There was nothing the
matter with his craft.
Capt. Dugan sent for the pilot and
told him bluntly to snap out of it.
A few days later, however, the pilot
came back and said that he wished
to quit combat flying, that his
nerves were shot. In a half hours
tongue ,lashing, Capt. Dugan told
the boy that it was his war as much
as anybody else's, accused him of
making laughing stock of his crew

Also asked to attend, he said,

Declaring there can be little doubt
that many of the welfare institu-

Meanwhile, he has recessed the

which he said convinced him "at-
tendance has not been good"
The record showed that there
were IA meetings of the Welfare
Board scheduled between last July
rs and March g. Since there are
nine board members, a perfect at
tendance score at these meetings
would be 116-making deductions
for nine meetings held before two
OF the incumbents were appointed
to the board.
The actual attendance score. ac-
cording to the Huff report, was 80,
showing there were 26 absences all
told. For seven meetings of the
Public Assistance Committee, in the
same period, there was an attend
ance score Of II out of q possible %,
the report showed. For seven meet
ings of the Child Welfare Commit
tee the report showed an attend
ance Of 10 out of possible score
OF IS. The report for the Penal
Committee showed a better record
for meetings where attendance was
listed, but this was not done in
three of the six meetings.
Mr.. Huff also reported that dur

Dog Muzz|ing Order
With Findino

Commissioners Also Ban
Sale Of Pets at Pound
For 3-Month Period +.

AS the Health Department re-
ported six more rabid dogs yes
terday, the Commissioners took
steps to combat the epidemic by
renewing the muzzling order for
three months and banning the sale
of dogs at the pound.
The Commissioners prohibition on
the sale of dogs will mean that all
the animals taken to the pound will
be killed unless redeemed by their
owners within 48 hours. The pound
now has 100 dogs, with the number
killed per day averaging approx
mately Is.
Health Officer George c. Rutland
requested the ban on sales and in
formed the Commissioners Monday
that the rather disconcerting re-
port comes to us that the pound
master undertakes the sale of dogs
from the pound in spite of the re-
quest which this department sent
to the Commissioners under date
OF October %, 1943."
Il regret to be obliged to state"
DR.. Rutland added, that we do
not foresee quick clearance of the
situation unless there is more whole
hearted cooperation by the public
IN reducing the Districts dog popl-
lation."
Poundmaster Frank Marks said
that in the last year more than
1900 dogs had been sold, and that
In recent years three out of every
five dogs were sold to out-of- town
buyers. Dogs were sold to new
owners for 81.
The muzzling order was first
adopted last October and renewed
in January.
Three persons were reported Bit
ten by the last group of dogs found
infected with rabies, bringing the
total number of persons attacked
to 20 for the year. The animals were
