Half Million a Year Spent
Under War Recreation Plan

! Nearly half million dollars is
beng spent here annually to provde
recreational activities for service
personnel and civilian war workers
| it was disclosed yesterday in a re-
1 port prepared by a special recrea-
| ton study committee Of the District
War Hospitality Committee.
! The committee. headed by Milo
F., Christensen Of the District Rec
reation Department, submitted seven
recommendations. One of these
proposed that greater efforts be
made to encourage use of neighbor-
hood recreation centers. instead of
crowded centers in the downtown
section.
Immediate preparation of large
scale maps showing recreational fa-
tcilities in relation to transportation
lines also, was suggested. These
maps should be posted in Govern
ment and business buildings, drug
stores and other public places, the
committee said.
Other recommendations asked
higher pay for directors OF some of
the programs; more widespread
publicizing of activities, and post
war planning to determine what
parts of the present recreation pro-
gram "can justiflably be maintained
after the war"
The committee questioned every
tOrganiZatiO known to he nrovidin O
recreation for service personnel or
war workers and received answers
to 101 missionaries.

Regional Labor Needs
For War Work in "A
SET al 100000

Despite reductions in national
manpower requirements, nearly a
million workers must be placed in
essential industries in this region
during 1914, Regional War Man.

Mr., Treide said that employers in
his acknowledgement. Virginia. West

workers to the regions labor force
Part of the million workers who

fees this year will be moving from
one essential job to another. Others
must be recruited from the ranks OF
less essential industries and labor
surplus areas, Mr.. Treide said.
Mr.. Treide reported that a sub
stantial part Of the more than
$1,000, ,000,0 worth of war contracts
let in this region have not yet been
completed. He pointed out that the
cutbacks releasing labor in other
areas probably will not be felt as
much in this region because there is
little ordnance production and a
great deal of ship and plane con-
struction.
Problem Increasing.
Declaring that the problem for
this year is greater than last years,
in the face of dwindling labor sup

some areas it will be necessary to

ers any employer may hire. In some
areas, he said. priority committees
will be established to determine
which employers have the first call
on the scarce labor supply.
The regional program for this
year, Mr. Treide added, will include
campaigns for reduced labor turn
over and better utilization of work
ers. In addition, special recruiters
will 60 out with "jobs in their pock-
cts" to find workers. This practice
already is followed in North Caro-
lima and Virginia.

Mr. Treide said that a special ef-
fort will be made to provide jobs for

number, 62O99 were issued state
ments of availability by the USES,
permitting them to change jobs. and

Industry Urges 0PA
To Ease Rationing Of
Canned Vegetables

Arguing that sales of canned
vegetables have fallen off acutely
because housewives pantry shelves
are so we'll stocked with the home
canned variety, commercial Gamers
are putting considerable pressure
on the Office of Price Administra-
ton to take vegetables off the ra-
ton list or at least cut point values
sharply.
The Nations housewives, a rep
reSentative of the Gamers said
yesterday, did such an outstand-
ing job Of home e-canning last year
that much of the commercial pack
is gathering dust on the shelves of
stores and warehouses.
Before the war, he figured, only
about Is or 80 of every 100 house
wives engaged in home canning
He estimated that at present there
are well-stocked pantry shelves of
home-canned goods in 80 of every
100 homes.
Arguing from this standpoint, the
Gamers have taken their case to
OPA and report sympathetic re-
ception.'
The agency's rationing officials
declined to comment on the pos
sibility of reduction of point
values, pointing out that new values
for February will be announced next
week and that any intimation of
changes planned, whether downward
or upward revisions, would affect
sales in the interim.
They say emphatically. however.
that OPA's figures on inventories of
canned vegetables indicate there is
no possibility" that they can be
removed from the ration list for
some time"
The agency acknowledged that it
has received numerous appeals from
Gamers for point-free vegetables or
lower point values, but officials said
they were unconvinced that current
supply warrants any drastic action.
We understand" a spokesman
said, that the National Gamers
Association is conducting a survey
to determine the amount of home
canned goods housewives have We
would like to know just what the
situation is. Well give the figures
careful study"

Commissioners Hit
Full Tax Exemption
For Salvation Army

A petition by the Salvation Army
for legislation to exempt all of its
Washington holdings from ANY and
all" District taxation was opposed
yesterday by Corporation Counsel
Richmond B. Keech in a report to
Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee on behalf of the
Commissioners.
Maj. James A. Longine, divisional
commander of the organization, had
submitted data showing that while
eight of the Army's holdings valued
at 1851 300 are exempt under the
McCarran Act of December "a, 1912,
District tax authorities had ruled
against exemption of five other
properties, valued at $246, 500
The bill the Salvation Army pro-
posed would exempt these proper
ties and call for refunds of taxes
paid on them in the past three years.
Maj. Longine wrote Mr.. Randolph: ::
The assessing and taxing authori-
ties of the District seem to be using
every technicality available in an
effort to deprive the Salvation Army
of numerous exemptions that we
think, and We believe Congress
thought, the Salvation Army was
granted under the 1912 Act"
In opposing the bill, Mr.. Keech
said:
1T would seem inappropriate to
consider any new legislation to ex-
empt the aforementioned properties
before the Board of Tax Appeals or
the Court of Appeals construed the
provisions of the existing law and
finally determined whether and to
what extent such properties are
exempted Hereunder"
He took the position Congress
had not intended to exempt the
five properties. which are the
Evangeline Hotel at 1880 L street

sl9l $40; small stores at Sixth and
E streets NV. not used by the or

Political Scientist
Favors Civil Liberty
For Defeated Foes

Civil liberty should not be with
held from defeated enemies, Robert
E. Cushman, president of the Ameri-
can Political Science Association,
said last night at joint meeting
Of that organization with the Ameri-
can Economic Association and the
American Society for Public Admin
istration at the Hotel Statler.
If we are afraid to expose our
democratic institutions and prin-
ciples to hostile criticism" Mr..
Cushman said, lit is humiliating
confession that we have lost our
faith in the basic principles upon
which our civil liberties rest"
Louis Brownlow. president of the
American Society for Public Ad-
ministration. said that with the
varying administrative systems of
the United Nations CO. -ordinated for
the war I'VE should study these
wartime experiences and try to
make the most of the lessons to be
learned"
Union labor should come forward
with program of legislation for
its own control, Carroll Daugherty
economist of the War Labor Board,
told one of the section meetings
during the day. He said that if
unionism and collective bargaining
are to gain general acceptance Or
ganized labor has to institute con-
trols within itself to show that it
has higher degree of responsi :
blllty than it has SO far shown.
George w. Taylor, vice chairman
of the War Labor Board, said he
doubted very much whether there
should be any government control
of wages after the war except the
prewar regulation of substandard
wages and the promotion of collec-
tive bargaining. Barring ground
swell movement in the cost of liv-
ing there likely will be no drastic
changes in straight-time hourly
rates, he said Shortened work
weeks after the war, he said, will
bring proportionately greater de-
creases in the total weekly payrolls
since time and half for overtime
will be lost.
The American people want pli-
vate enterprise James W. Bell.
secretary Of the American Econom-
ic Association, said in a speech
broadcast by the National Broad
casting Co.
"All are agreed" he said, that it
could not survive many more deep
and prolonged depressions. 1t is
apparently in the minds of some
business leaders that even one more
serious depression would put a
strain on it which it might stand
and might not"
Private business, he said, must
learn to understand the conditions
permanently necessary 70 full pro-
duction and full employment.
Attacking isolationists as inter
national anarchists among u.s."
Clarence A. Berdahl, professor of
political science at the University
OF Illinois, said on the same pro-
gram that American foreign policy
between wars had been accurately
summed up as we will not be rep
resented at Geneva. We will not
be represented at the Hague. We
will not take an effective part in
any economic conference. But there
is one place where we will be rep
resented, and that is on the battle
fields
The sessions will continue today
with Senators Ball. Burton, Dana
her. Hatch and Hill and Sir Arthur
Salter, British economist, among
the speakers.
