Wage Board Confer,
With Both Sides on
Women S Pay Scale
Minimum Schedules
Studied for Possibility
Of Wartime Ruises

Informal conferences have been
held between the Minimum Wage
and Industrial Safety Board and
representatives of employers and
employees on the question of whether
women's minimum wage schedules
should be reopened for hearings
with . view to raising them for
the duration of the war.
Representatives of the public, ac-
cording to board spokesmen, have
not yet been heard Fred s. Walker
labor member, said the employers
favored leaving the present sched-
ules alone, while last Thursday rep
resentatives of II employe organi-
cations said the schedules were too
low.
It is said that employees feel that
the minimum women's wages are
not only too low. because of wartime
cost of living. but are too low to
attract women to jobs. It was
pointed out that while the Federal
wage-hour law requires . mini.
mum Of 40 cents an hour in inter-
state industries, some schedules
here are only 10 cents.
In view Of the disagreement, Mr.
Walker said that 1t probably would
not be possible to have one confer-
ence on increasing wages If the
board voted to reopen the schedules
for public hearing. If reopened, it
might take = year to finish all
schedules.
At the same time the board an
nounced that Fred C. Thomas of
1907 Tewesbury place NV. had
been appointed safety director of
the board. He was q member OF
the Royal Engineers of the British
Army in the last war and has served

The District Once of Price Ad-
mlnlStration Yesterday charged the
operators of the Stables Restaurant,
1892 E street NV, with acquiring
betweent l,700 and 1900 pounds of
rationed meat in three transactions
last December without surrenderine
ration points.
Named in the notice Of suspen-
sion order hearing were Lees Ice
Cream Co.. Inc. and Jean Richards s
Moran. operators of the restaurant.
Local OPA Enforcement Attorney
John L. Laskey said the meat was
purchased indirectly from the same
black market supplier who sold
choice beef cuts to several other
restaurants here.
; Transactions CHARGED.
The notice yesterday charged the
Stables with purchasing TOO pounds
OF meat having point Values of
1000 pounds on December s, an
other 700 pounds on December 26
and a third transaction of between

July 10 in Municipal Court Build
ing at which time suspension of
the restaurants right to ACQUIRE,
use or deal In rationed meats. fats,
fish and cheese will be sought, Mr..
Laskey said.
On October II OF last year, the
Stables was suspended from dealing
in rationed foods for an alleged
overdraft of 68,26l points in its ra-
ton banking account. Subsequently
the OPA arranged for a ration-point
loan" and the establishment re-
sumed its regular menus, the OPA
pointed out.
Alleged Seller Named.
Mr.. Laskey said the restaurant
purchased its meats from Louis
Deckelbaum. trading as the Belve-
dere Market. The latter firm has
been under 30-day suspension or
der banning the purchase of ra-
toned meats, fats, fish and cheese
for allegedly acquiring meats from
the New York supplier.
Mrs. Moran said the action came
as surprise to her and that she
never heard Of Deckelbaum, the al
legged supplier of meats to the
Stables.
why would want to buy meat
during December without ration
points when it was the month the
OPA arranged for a loan of 10000
points to our place?" Mrs. Moran
queried.

Avenue Naming Plea
Revives Question Of
City Heads Powers
Act Of Congress Would
Be Necessary to Effect
Change in Procedure

The petition by Representative
jenkins, Republican. of Ohio that
an avenue in the business section
OF the District be named Ohio again
centers attention on the limita-
tlons on the powers of the Com
mlSSioners, for an act OF Congress
would be necessary to effect the
change
The city heads may name or
change the names of streets in the
outlying areas but Congress has
reserved the power as to the old
City OF Washington, roughly bound
ed by Rock Greek, the Anacostia
River and Florida avenue.
Seek Bills Approval.
To cure this administrative handi-
cap, along with a lot of others,
the Commissioners are seeking con-
gressional approval of a bill to
broaden their administrative DOW
ers. 1t has been passed bv the
House and now awaits action by a
subcommittee Of the Senate Dis
trict Committee headed by Senator
Tydings, Democrat of Maryland.
Mr.. Jenkins hoped that Inde-
pendence avenue might be renamed
Ohio avenue, but observers predict
II the name of this ma jor mall thor
oughfare is to be changed there NAV
be claims from spokesmen for other
States that lack the honor of an
avenue.
In response to plea by Mr.
jenkins, the Commissioners recently
asked the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission for sugges-
tions. but in doing so asked for pro-
posals that would not disrupt the
existing plan of street nomen-
clature."
The Planning Commission re-
sponded with II suggestions, none
OF which was for Independence ave-
nue.. Ten related to streets in the
outlying areas, which could be re-
named without an act of Congress
River road, Reno road, Broad
Branch road and Linnean avenue
linked for this purpose: Kalmia
road. Concorn avenue and Riggs
road, Cleveland avenue and Calvert
street to Adams Mill road. Bennine
road, Ridge road, Naylor road and
Nichols avenue.
Writes Commissioner.
The two others. in the old city
section, are Canal street and Po-
tomac avenue.
In suggesting that Independence
avenue be named for Ohio, Mr.
jenkins wrote Commissioner Young
We would be highly pleased and
abundantly satisfied If you would
give the name of Ohio to what is
Independence avenue and enough
additional to include good
thoroughfare from Fourteenth street
west toward the Lincoln Memorial
so as to connect directly with Me-
mortal Bridge. This change would
give those driving on Ohio avenue a
chance to see the great monuments
to Grant and Garfield, both of whom
were great Ohio Presidents"
Commissioner Young indicated
that If any change is considered by
the Commissioners they would hold
hearing. He suggested that Mr.
jenkins select one or more from the
list Of II and notify the Commis-
sioners 80 they may obtain the views

Discussing Chi|d's Defects

BY ALICIA HART

Careless talk at home about a
childs beauty defects, which in
many homes is commented upon as
traditional with families-such as
the stringy hair handed down on
grandpas side, the stubby nose
which great aunt Susan bequeathed
-is bad talk for little girl to hear
as she grows up. In sensitive child,
it can stunt her self-confidence for
life.
Calling this fairly common con-
versational topic of families, Zoe
Shipper, painter of pastel portraits
of children with whom I recently
talked, said such talk should be
strictly censored. This artist, whose
gallery of famous children will be
exhibited at a Washington hotel,
says the wise parent will pursue
just the opposite tack-praise a
child's good points. avoid menticn-
