Burko Took No Part
In Gas Coupon Deals,
Witness Declares

John F. Grever, master Of cere-
monies at the Lamplighters Club
categorically denied in District
Court today the testimony of three
Government witnesses that Joseph
r. Burko, former Police Court clerk
on trial for allegedly receiving and
transferring gasoline ration coupons
was present during the reported
transfer of rations or ever took
part in any such transactions.
Grever, who also Is a singer at
the club operated by Burko, was the
first defense witness called by At
torney Saul Lichtenberg. The Gov
ernment rested its case before noon
Grever said he concealed his part
in the illegal transactions from
Burko and testified that on the only
occasion on which he mentioned the
possibility of obtaining the stamps
Burko rejected the proposition.
Threat Against Burko Charged.
In answer to questions by the de-
PENDANTS attorney he said that Cliff
ton K. Gossman, 10. and Raymond
Cruger, 81, former Falls Church
CVa) Post Office clerk. two of the
Governments principal witnesses
were elected from the night club
by the defendant and that Cruger
threatened to get" Burko.
Gossman and Cruger have pleaded
guilty to stealing the gas coupons
from the post Office and testified in
this trial they had sold them to
both Grever and Burko. Both have
pleaded guilty to the conspiracy
with which Burko is charged. Goss-
man is under sentence on another
charge of impersonating a Federal
officer.
Defense Charges Frameup.
Grever also denied testimony
given by Joseph Mudd, Government
employe and former operator of a
gasoline station in the 100 block of
Florida avenue NV, that Burko
took part in a transa ction July l9
when he purchased coupons good for
1000 gallons of gasoline. Grever
said he alone conSummated this
deal and that Burko was in Atlantic
City on vacation at that time.
In his opening statement the de-
fense attorney said he would prove
that his client is the victim of a
frame-up and that Government
witnesses were promised immunity
if they testified against Burko. The
trial opened Monday before Justice
James M. Proctor and a jury of 10
men and women.

the southbound street car track on
Nineteenth street loop around the
South Interior Building on C street
and then proceed north on Eight
zenith street, rather than loop around
on Virginia avenue as at present.
Two triangular blocks between the
South Interior and the Navy De-
partment would be replaced by four
smaller triangular blocks and a di-
agonal roadway would go between
Constitution avenue and Eighteenth
and c streets. Thus, Virginia ave-
nue. and the new road would make a
criss-cross arrangement of roads be-
tween the Interior and Navy Build
ings.
Motor Age Parking.
This is the type OF motor age
building the engineers have in mind
for parking:
1t would occupy half block, or
preferably the entire block, with
the ground-level floor devoted to
stores and shops ito present an un-
broken facade of attractive windows
and entrances along the shopping
streets.
Provisions would be made for de-
livery of merchandise directly to
the basement stockrooms of the
stores. Parking facilities would be
reached through an entrance in the
center of one side of the block. The
cashiers booth, waiting room and
similar adjuncts" of parking opera
tions would be located in the in
terror of the first floor.
The second floor would be occu-
pied by daylight Offices along the
sides of the building, while the in
teriors would be used for parking.
Additional levels devoted entirely to
parking could be provided Ito meet
the demand in particular neigh
borhood," the report suggested. Ele-
vatcrs would be provided If the
building exceeded four floors.
Park Own Cars.
Patrons of the parking facility
would be permitted to park and
unpark their own cars. as well as to
lock them, thereby saving delay and
eliminating the fear of rough ham
ding of vehicles" the report stated
Parking rates should encourage
frequent turnover and discourage
all-day parking"
In a drawing of the proposed
type of building, the basement would
have parking space for Is trucks
and space for service rooms and 26
stockrooms. The first floor would
have rs stores and no parking space,
while the second floor would have
is offices and parking space for "a
cars. The third floor would be de-
voted entirely to parking, allowing
l42 spaces, and the roof would pro-
vide 213 additional parking spaces.

young and know too little OF life to
realize the consequences of what
they are doing and the suffering
they are bringing on their families.
They are victims of the mass hys-
terra that has made them think
that they must get married before

all the other boys are doing 1t. ant
so they pick up the first little

At any rate, q boy Of l8 has nc

While the teen-agers are q bit

their blouSes and sweaters. One OF
their favorites Is q corduroy with

like 1t to be. For real dress-up mo-

striped across the front Of the
bodice, or a blue wool crepe with
heart-red braid edging collar and
heart pockets.
Newer than q raincoat for this

with Its own little hood lined with

seem to know that some clothes do
the right things for them and give
them self-confidence.
This years clothes are really
pretty enough to Danish any incip-
lent inferiority complexes. With
more wool allocated to children's
clothes the colors are prettier this
year and the designers seem to have
been inspired. Taking their cue
from the college crowd the teen.age
tribe Is going to be neat ana s!icked

cially go-with-everything good gray
flannels that wear well and look
well. Their current loves are flannel
slacks, waistcoat. jacket and skirt

rufiy blouses to put glamour into

"on the beam" for teen-agers Is q
classic gray or beige suit, chalk

also have q passion for plaids with
which they can wear q rainbow Of

About the Home
By Betty Miles

| I'VE have a flve-room bungalow
A couple OF years ago we had the
attic insulated, which made it 20 To
!, 30 degrees cooler, but since we have
partitioned 1t OF into two rooms,
severe hot days 1t reaches 100 de-
grees. I have heard that il we had
ventilators cut in above the ceiling,
between ceiling and roof, at both
ends Of the house, 1t would make
it cooler. We have no radiators up
there as we had to have priorities,
but found out we could get along
very nicely without them as the
rooms keep real snug and COM
Portable in the winter. I believe
there was only one day last winter
that 1t got real cold.
Now, what / want to know is, If
we had ventilators cut in. as I said.
would they make the rooms colder
in the winter? If so, could you
please tell me some way to keep it
cooler In the summer? There are

but cross ventilation, south and
north. 1t has rock wool insulatio
and insulated boarding. T.
Your first step would be to have
your insulation checked to deter
mine whether or not it would be
possible to install ventilators. Once
this matter was settled, you could
secure a type ventilator so designed
that 1t can be closed by hand, and
have the desired number of these
installed at the most advantageous
points. This. of course, would be
decided by your workman. This
type ventilator would reduce the
heat in the summer. but, since it
could be closed in the winter, you
would not have the problem of los
ing the comfort your attic has az
forded you at that time. These
ventilators are available at the pres
ent time, despite wartime restric-
tions. II you decide to adopt this
plan. there are several firms that
could do the work for you. provided
Of course, that your insulation did
not prohibit the installation of the

able bright print. This same de-
signer turns out sweater dresses and
jumpers that give Miss Teen-Agel
the neat look and an approxima-
ton Of the streamlinetl figure she
envies her big sister. And when 1t
comes to going out with her big
high school hero, there are super
date dresses such as q wool jersey
in dreamy colors cut to give her a
small waist, full skirt-and the
novelty note Of beaded cherries on
one shoulder.
To complete her school ward
robe, she'll also need a good rain
coat and q classic coat that she'll
wear with everything-fleece, for
example, with velvet collar and
raglan sleeves that are 50 amiable
about accommodating a suit be-
meath.
The sweater and skirt fashion was
never designed for the soda and
pigtail crowd, but they've taken 1t up
in big way. Skirts are the back
bone OF the grade-school wardrobe
and she tops them with blouses
jackets, switzerland more sweat
ers. Her big love is skirts-and her
school wardrobe should probably in
clude four skirts, two jumpers,
sweaters, blouses and one or two
jackets, at least one of which should
be red. OF course, the big trick in
assembling a wardrobe at any age
Is to build around one dominant
color 50 you can interchange jackets,
sweaters and skirts. One who had
the right idea was 10-year-old Joan
with pigtails. rosy cheeks and an
anticipatory gleam in her brown
eyes Her haul included blue-and-
yellow plaid skirt, green-and-yel-
low plaid. q underground jumper
plaided with green. yellow and red
and-for dress -up-a soft blue wool
jersey jumper with pleated edge.
Another grade school glamour gal
had the right idea when she chose a
bold red and blue plaid pleated
skirt. navy blue blazer and navy
gabardine reversible coat lined with
the plaid of the skirt. In passing let
us point out that blazers are THE
fashion in jackets in all sizes.
