Washingtonians |ndorse
Law 10 Exierminafe Rats

The Washingtonians voted last
night in favor of the immediate
formulation of additional laws to
provide for the determination of
rats in the District.
Mrs. c. Viola Fellows, member
of the association, told of counting
80 rats in an alley of the 17o0 block
of Euclid street NV. The rats
were drinking rain water in the
street and weren't even slightly per-
turbed when she drove her car
away in their midst. Another
member suggested ferrets are solu-
ton to the rat problem.
A letter will be written by the
association to Representative Mar
tin Dies, chairman of the House
Committee on n-American Activi-
ties, who yesterday announced his
withdrawal as candidate for re-
election to Congress, commencing
him for his excellent work in the
investigation of subversive activi-
ties and expressing regret at his
decision to retire from Congress.
The group favored a motion that
Congress appropriate in the l945
budget bill the $8,500,000 asked by
the Board of Public Welfare.
Miss Eta Taggart, president of
the association, suggested writing
letter of appreciation to Theodore
w. Noyes, editor of The Evening
Star, for his active interest and
incessant work in District affairs.
The meeting, which was the last
OF the season, was held in the High

Renegotiation Act Hi
In Suit Filed Here

John b. Brady, consulting engi-
neer and inventor, yesterday filed
suit in District Court to prevent the
Renegotiation Act from being
brought to bear so as to prevent
payment to him of $25.0O0.
The suit claims the Government
seeks to force the Teletype Corp. of
Chicago, which, it is claimed, owes
the money to Mr.. Brady, to pay
the sum to the Government instead
OF to him because of alleged excess
profits made by Mr.. Brady in 1912.
Naming as defendants Secretary
of Navy Forrestal and Jacob E.
Davis, listed as chief of the Navy
services and sales renegotiation, the
suit asks for a permanent injunc-
ten to prevent diversion of the
$25o00.
The suit states that Mr.. Brady
holds several patents and tells Of
his wide knowledge of printing
and telegraph equipment. 1t ex-
plains that his profits come as a
result of contracts he had with the
Teletype Corp. which, in turn, had
Government contracts.
The suit claims Government
action in the case In unconstitu-
tional, asserting the profits referred
to came about as a result of con-
tracts completed prior to enact
ment of the Renegotiation Act,
April 20, 1912.
The suit says Mr.. Brady offered
to put up Government bonds to be
held as security for the fund the
Government claims he owes, until
the issue is finally decided in court.

Three Agencies Argue
Optimistic Picture
OF Food Situation
By the Associated Press.

6y tue AsSoCleted FIeSS.
Three Federal agencies were
locked in a behind-the-scene areu.
ment today over whether the public
has been given too optimistic q pic
ture Of the wartime food situation
At the War Food Administration
top ranking officials, including Ad-
ministrator Marvin Jones, fear the
public has gotten the idea the food
battle Is won.
The argument involving VIA,
the Once of Price Administration
and the Offlce of War Information,
started last week after Price Ad-
ministrator Chester Bowles took all
meat except beefsteaks and beef
roasts of rationing.
The manner In which the BoWles
announcement was made and the
public reaction to 1t caused con-
sternation at the VITA. MIR. Bowles
did not clear his announcement
through owl or VIA.
Mr.. Jones issued q statement the
next day saying:
Because we have plenty now, it
does not necessarily follow that we
will have plenty later. Too many are
prone to take a food supply for
granted. 1t will be even harder to
meet our needs this year than it
was last year"
Owl began receiving complaints OF
public confusion over the food situa-
ton and the three agencies tried to
get together on clarifying" state
ment. But so far they've had no
luck.
Mr.. Jones is reported to be insist
ing that farm production difficulties
and the uncertainty of future sup
plies be emphasized. On the other
hand the OPA is said to be insisting
that 1t did not make the food pic
ture too bright and doesn't want
any statement implying that it did.
