FWA AI|ots $235,000
To Help D. {. Finance
Eight New Nurseries
Fleming Also Extends
Assistance for Year
To Doy-Core Program

Maj Gen. Philip B. Fleming. Fed
eral Works Administrator, today
allotted the District $235 OBJ to help
finance eight new war nurseries for
children of employed mothers. He
also extended the period of Federal
assistance to the program for one
year, ending June 30, 1945.
Previously the District Commits
sioners had been given $156, ,298 to-
ward the operating costs of IL war
nurseries for preschool children, and
six child-care centers for school-age
children. The increase makes q
total of 1891 ,329 in Lanham Act
funds allotted to the program. At
present, the facilities are caring for
325 preschool and ITO school chill
dren. Under the expanded pro-
gram, accommodations will be avail
able for about 635 preschool and IT'S
school children
Mrs. Florence Kerr. director of
FWA War Public Services said the
need for these facilities is increas-
ing steadily as more and more wom-
en- are required for essential work.
An analysis of the labor market sit
uation in Washington, issued by
the War Manpower Commission, es-
timated that women now constitute
at least so per cent of the labor
force.
Mothers may get in touch with
the Child Care Information Service
at the Franklin School, Thirteenth
and K streets NV, or telephone
National 1900 for information. The
eight war nurseries will be located
in sections selected by the Board Of
Education, which administers the
program

Children who have supported the
collection of vitauy-needed waste
paper at schools cooperating in
The Evening Star-PTA Salvage
for-Victory program are to be given
Federal recognition when they re-
sumo collections on the reopening
of schools.
Under g new program being set
up by the War Production Board in
cooperation with the American
Newspaper Publishers Association
the children are to be enlisted in a
group to be known as paper troop
ers.' Those who join in the drive
will receive shoulder insignia and,
as marks of merit for bringing in
large quantities of papers, chevrons
and other insignia will be added.
AS an additional award, certifi-
Gates of merit signed by Donald M.
Nelson, chairman of the War Pro-
duction Board, will go to those con-
nected with the program who make
outstanding records. These certifi-
Gates will be made available to
parents, teachers and other indi-
viduals as well as to the children
and schools.
Details of the plan will be an
nounced later.

wastepaper in the summer salvage

New Edition of Police Rules
Has Some DoIefuI Reminders

as street corner newsboys are con-
cerned. They must not spur sales
by shouting "Extry,e = extry, read
all about it" unless there really is
something to shout about. Extra
editions Of newspapers may be cried
only on extraordinary occasions" !"
the law provides.
Little Overlooked.
If any out-of-towner intends dis
posing of lame mule in the Dis
trict, he had best forget about it..
The regulations make this q mis-
demeanor. With a glance into the
past, the provisions permit horned
cattle to be led singly, by rope or
halter, through the city's streets.
Furthermore, a COW and calf may
be led together IF the COW is so
secured"
There is little that the regulations
overlook. Owners of talking birds
are warned that should their pets
chatter disturb neighbors, the bird
will be shot at once. This Is no dis
elimination. The same goes for
birds that whistle and sing.

Held for Grand jury
In Bribery Attempt
Becker Pleads Innocent
To Charges He Left
900 for EmpIoye

Norman Becker, former section
head in the ONCE of Price Admin
istration, pleaded not guilty today
and was held for the grand jury
on charges of attempted bribery
after Edward Halpin, an OPA price
fixing officer, testified that Becker
had left an envelope containing
$1,000 on a desk adjoining his on
August IS and departed, saying, Il
will double that at the Statler"
Becker, who was represented by
Joseph Tumulty, jr., waived his
right to be heard before United
States Commissioner Needham C,
Turnage, who continued bail at
$1,000.
Becker was arrested at the Stat
ler Hotel on the same day the al
legged conversation took place.
Mr.. Halpin testified that in May

The man, he said, came to his
office with J. Richard Kafes of the
Wollman Mills Co., Inc, regarding
prices on new rayon fabric.
Becker, he said, wanted an 81.

ton, which he had computed at SAX
cents q yard.
After Mr.. Kafes Withdrew, he said, >
Becker told him that there was
"$750 for you" in the 81-cent price.
Mr.. Halpin said he did not heek
from Becker again, except for .
telephone call from New York In
which Becker said he had been in
hospital, until he entered his office
in August, again with Mr.. Kafes.
The conversation, Mr.. Halpin said,
again was about a new rayon and
Its price.
Returned to Office Alone.
Later in the day, Mr.. Halpin said,
Becker returned to his Office alone.
There was more conversation about
the price, he said, and then Becker
withdrew long envelope from his
wallet and clipped it to the back
of some papers on the desk relative
to the construction. Mr.. Halpin
testified that Becker then remarked
he would double the amount at the
Statler.
Mrs. Rachel Whipple and An
drew Anthony, jr., OPA administra-
tive workers who witnessed the

! District Court was asked today by
the Office of Price Administration
, to enjoin the Manhattan Co., 1926

tablished for such services. The
OPA alleges the firm has established

ton of liability constitutes a reduc.
tion in the quality. or, and an elimi-
nation of an element of the types
OF services supplied by the defend
ants in March. 1912" the base price
period. 1t adds that the firm has

Center 10 Aid
D. T.. Veterans
|sProposed
Agency Would
. Be Stoffed by
SuIoried Workers
BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG.

A plan to have salaried social
workers counsel veterans and war
workers at a central information
bureau has been prepared by a
Civilian War Services committee and
will be presented to the Commits
sioners' Committee on Services to
Veterans and War Workers, 1t was
learned today.
A spokesman for the committee
which worked out the tentative
plan said the information center
could not be stated by volunteers,
as is the Draft Aid Center, because
the veterans need professional peo-
pie to understand their problems"
The Draft Aid Center, which
gives information to men indicted
into the service, has only one paid
worker. The Civilian War Services
spokesman said it would take care
full training and experience to aid
the returned servicemen because
frequently the men themselves don't
know what they want and their
problems are more complex than
those of men entering the service.
Questions about where to 60 for
mastering -out pay or the location of
an agency, it was explained, can
be answered at the reception
desk, which may be stated by VOL
unteers.
Provides Factual Information.
The center would provide factual
information, referral to the proper
agencies and interviews on complex
personal situations" These inter-
views, it was understood, would CEN
ter on finding out the mans prob
lens in order to refer him to the
proper place for assistance.
The proposed plan calls for the
center to begin operations with a
paid staff of five. with $4,5OO as the
top salary. The staff would include
an executive, an interviewer, re
source specialist" secretary and typ
tst-telephone operator.
After leaving the center, the vet
erans or war workers with complex
personal problems would go to one
OF the agencies dealing with their
particular problems, where they
would again be counseled.
Not Yet Approved.
Before the plan for the center can
60 into effect, it must be approved
by the Commissioners committee
which was established in June to
coordinate the work of the so or
more District agencies concerned
with the problems of veterans and
war workers. The committee has
not yet held its first meeting.
The chairman of the Commits
sioners' committee, Edwin C.|
Graham, hopes to call a meeting
of his group next, week, it was un-
derstood. Mr.. Graham has been
given copy of the plan which, it
was learned, was to be discussed by
small group from the Commis-
sioners' committee this afternoon.

Appeals Made by Mother
Who Lost Son and
Officer in France .,.. .-...,,

The District Red Cross Blood
Donor Center announced today that
not enough donors are applying to
meet the regular quota OF 1000 pints
q week, although the Army and
Navy made q request Tuesday for
an additional 1000 pints Of whole

Blaming the hot weather, the
center pointed out Washingtons
greater responsibility as a result Of
the armed forces appeal. The
whole blood. taken from persons
with o type. the most universal
variety. is flown to the European
fighting fronts within "a hours.
At the same time, two appeals
we're made-one by a Washington
man fighting in France and the
other from a mother whose son
was reported killed in action last
week.
From Normandy 1t. Charles N
Giese, who lived at Twentieth street
and Florida avenue NV, wrote: Il
express our thanks for the blood
plasma the people at home are sup
plying. I can make a blanket state
n1Nt and say it is saving lives that
would have been lost had it not been
for plasma."
The wife of Brig. Gen. Stanley L.
Scott who was informed of the death
Of her son, Maj. Stanley c. Scott,
made a personal appeal to all who
are not blood donors. Those who
have not lost a son in the service
should be so grateful that they would
be glad to donate their BLOOD" Mrs.
Scott said.
Mrs. Scott. who has worked and
donated at the blood center, ex-
pressed feeling of satisfaction that
she had done all she could for her
son. Her second son, who is with
the combat engineers. expects to go
overseas soon, and Mrs. Scott plans
to continue her blood doner &C
tivities.
