for another year, the administrator
said. Not to extend the Lease-Lend
Act would be to call off part of the
war-and an essential part-just at
the moment when we are poised for
our greatest offensives."
eRrAises Partners" Efforts.
Discussing reverse lease-lend, a
subject IN which the committee
showed especial interest last year,
Mr.. Crowley said, "our partners, in
the United Nations are putting
everything they have into the war"
Through the third quarter of
l943,. he added, the British Com
monwealth had provided more than
S1,500, 100000 in aid to the United
States.
Mr.. Crowley emphasized that fig
ures on lease-lend or reverse lease
lend do not reflect accurately the
relative contribution of any of the
United Nations to the war.
THE Soviet Union" he added
"has been able to provide only a
relatively small amount of reverse
lease-:lend, yet can any one say that
it has not given in fullest measure
to the cause of the United Nations
victory?"
England's Plane Manufacture.
Behind the air offensive on Ger
many there is a significant lease
lend story, Mr.. Crowley said,
adding:
THE great Lancaster and Hall
fax bombers used by the RAF are
produced in British factories. Brit
ain alone, in fact, is today produc-
ing more planes than all the fac
tories at Hitler's command in
Europe. This great plane produc-
ton record is largely due to Britain's
own effort, but it could not have
been achieved without the machine
tools, aircraft engines and parts, the
steel and other metals sent from
the United States"

D. 'AIesandro AssaiIs
Senate Bill
0nRestaurantG GRADING

Sharp disapproval of the pro-
visions of the Senate-approved bill
requiring grading of Washington
restaurants according to sanitary
standards was voiced last night by
Chairman D'Alesandro of the Dis
trict Public Health Subcommittee.
On the basis of the hearing his
group held on the measure last
week, when the grading system was
opposed by the Commissioners and
Health Officer George c. Rutland
Mr.. DAlesandro said he would urge
the subcommittee to abandon the
proposal.
Instead, he said he would seek
approval of new bill which would
place restaurants on Government
property under the control of the
Health Department on the same
basis as private establishments. He
added that this should include both
inspection and enforcement.
Under the Senate bill Government
restaurants would be subjected tc
the same standards, but inspection
would be by the Public Health Serv-
ice and prosecution for violations
by the United States district attor-
ney. This was done to prevent con-
f1icts between District and Federal
authorities which the Senate Dis
trict Committee feared might re-
suit If the health officer were di-
rected to inspect and enforce rules
as to Government restaurants
Such restaurants now are inspected
by the Health Department only on
invitation by Federal agencies.
Il thought every one was in favor
of the Senate bill, but at the hear
ing we fo4nd all witnesses against
it," said Mr.. D'Alesandro. DR.
Ruhland had declared there should
be but single standard of santa
ton in restaurants.

Graduate Says
Reform Schools
Are Ineffective
Senate Subcommittee
Hears Testimony Of
Rehubilituted Youths

A 26-year graduate" of a
New York reform school, who has
since managed to make good" today
criticized so-called corrective lnsti-
tutions for juveniles on the grounds
that in most of them the term cor
rection Is joke"
THE stress isn't on training and
equipping youngsters to make good
after they leave" he charged in an
interview. Rather, the idea seems
to be to provide a place to keep the
children while they are serving
time"
The speaker was one of six young
men between Is and % called to
testify before the Senate subcom-
mittee investigating juvenile de-
linquency on how they managed to
find jobs after leaving corrective
and training schools in New York
City.
The six, who will remain anony-
nous in their appearance before
the subcommittee, are proteges of
Vocational Foundations, Inc, which
provides work opportunities and
other rehabilitation measures for
boys and girls who have been COM
mitted to institutions.
Director Testifies.
Miss Viola lima, executive direc-
tor Of the foundation, warned the
subcommittee today that "the grad
yates" Of corrective institutions are
normally thrown out into the world
under the handicap of a record,
usually without adequate training
for earning their own living, often
with no home and no responsible
elders to whom they can turn for
guidance.
Girls" she said, readily find
their easiest source of livelihood on
the street, and boys become prey to
obvious schemes for turning a dis
honest penny"
Miss lima, who testified before
hearings were recessed this morn
ing, told the subcommittee the time
has come for the establishment of
national agency, preferably under
Government auspices, to serve as a
clearing bureau on juvenile prob
lens.
Lack of Recreation Hit.
Referring to the young men ac-
companying her. Miss lima de-
clared: THE story of their lives is a
more eloquent plea for the recog-
milton of this national problem and
for meeting it constructively than
any summary of the work of exist
Ing stopgap organizations"
In interviews outside the hearing
room several of the boys attributed
part of the delinquency problem
to lack of recreational opportunities
and job opportunities. One as
serted that many a youngster. starts
stealing OF fruitstands or breaking
into houses because he wants money
to go to movie. Suggesting that
some agency should try to locate
part-time jobs for schoolboys, he
said: IF you have a job, clothes,
home and all, you don't have to go
out and steal"

Pentagon Funds
Used Legally,
Patterson Says
Cites Provisions of
Appropriation Act
In Reply to EngeI

Undersecretary of War Patterson
insisted yesterday that the War De-
partment had had ample authority
to use millions of its emergency
funds to finish construction OF tho
Pentagon on an expanded scale.
In reply to demands by Repre-
sentative Engel, Republican, Of
Michigan, that the spending Of
nearly Sal, 600, 900 of its emergency
funds on the project be justified,
Mr.. Patterson cited appropriation
acts to show why the department
had had mo question" as to the
propriety of using such funds.
Mr. Engel claimed the War De-
partment had "fouted the will Of
Congress" in wholesale fashion in
using emergency funds not spe-
cifically appropriated for the PEN
tagon, in financing that project as
it grew from $35,000,000 to an
$86, 900, 900 project.
Replies to Engel.
To the Engel protest that nearly
$41, 10000 was diverted to the Pen
tagon from appropriations for Eek
pediting production of equipment
and supplies for national defense"
and for engineer service, Mr.. Pat
terson replied that the appropria-
ton act included provisions for
erection Of structures, or for ac-
QUESTION of land"
Also citing provision that such
funds for "expediting production Of
equipment and supplies" may be ex-
pended without securing the specific
approval of the President, the War
Department official said:
Building Called Necessary"
"It would appear that the appro-
priation for expediting production in
the Act of 1912 covers such a pur-
pose as the construction of the
Pentagon Building. The building is
necessary for the expeditions ac-
complishment of our production
effort, and the erection of struc-
lures is specifically authorized by
the act.
THE increase in the efficiency of
the procurement agencies Of the
War Department, as a result of the
construction of the building, is a
purpose clearly within the purview
OF the appropriation for 'expediting
production That increased eff
cheney was controlling factor in
the decision to construct the build
ing is evidenced by the testimony
before the Appropriations Subcom-
mittees of the Senate and the House
and in the report by the House Ap-
preparations Committee on the First
Supplemental National Defense Ap-
preparation Act of 1912.
The provision of centralized ex-
ecutive Office space for the War De-
partment sto promote efficiency of
its procurement and production
activities is certainly as vital to the
expedition of production as is the
provision Of Office space in a NUM-
tions plant or aircraft plant"

Meat Inspector Says
.Counse|man Firm Is
AT Limit of-0utput
Testimony Follows
Cross-Exuminution of
Brown Company Head
Star Staff Photo.

L. T. Hopkins, Federal meat in
spector for the War Food Admins
tration, testified today that the Gov
ernment could not authorize an in
crease in the rate of slaughter of
the Ralph Counselman firm-one of
two Federal-inspected slaughterers
here-"in the interest of santa
tion." The District OPA is seeking
suspension Of Walter Brown g. Sons,
Inc, the city's second Federal-super-
vised plant, for alleged violations of
OPA regulations.
Called as a witness for the Brown
firm, the inspector stated that Coun-
selman was operating at an hourly
rate that should be curtailed rather
than increased. He added that the
Government was permitting the
high rate of slaughter only because
of the increased demands for meat.
Meat Supply Assured.
The OPA has maintained that
suspension of the Brown company's
operations would not jeopardize the
meat supply here and that other
slaughterers would be able to take
up the slack.
Under cross-examination by OPA
Attorney John L. Laskey the in
spector said that enlarged facilities
Of slaughterer in Purcellville, Va.
would permit increased production
Of meat equivalent to the combined
slaughter of Counselman and Brown
Purcellville is approximately so miles
from Washington.
Testimony Of the inspector fol-
lowed cross-examination of Gilbert
w. Barber, head of the Brown COM
pany, which claims to have supplied
the city with more than 1,500, ,00O
pounds Of veal in 1943.
Slaughtered Pet Goat.
Mr. Barber, who enlivened the
hearing in Municipal Court yester-
day with an account of how his men
slaughtered a pet goat by mistake,
denied charges that he was evading
OPA regulations through the use of
short weight /and selling in excess
of price ceilings.
When asked by his attorney, Ar
thur Hilland, if he had violated the
regulations, Mr.. Barber replied, Il
have been in strict compliance since
November 10, as you have to be in
order to get the subsidy" He had
reference to the Government pay
ments made slaughterers for in
creased production costs.
Last November IL District Court
Justice F. Dickinson Let's issued an
order restraining the company from
selling above ceiling prices. The
firm was indicted last June or
charges of violating the ceilings, but
no action has been taken in the
case.
Mr.. Barber said his plant slaugh-
tered 1906 calves last year, of which
5000 were prepared for the kosher
trade. In addition, the firm slaugh.
tered AZ pigs and one goat, the wit
ness added.
How about the goat?" Acting
Hearing Commissioner Arthur Car
ruthres, jr., asked.
He was brought in with the pigs
and was killed by mistake" the wit
ness replied.
Mr.. Barber said he supplied 81
per cent of the city's home-dressed
veal, IS per cent of the kosher veal
and also furnished physicians and
hospitals with animal parts and
blood for tests. His customers for
veal include the Fort Belvoir (Va.) }
Hospital and post exchange and a
large grocery chain here.
