District 0PA Panel
Levies Treble Costs
AGAINST Restaurant

A fve-man price hearing panel
has recommended to the District di-
rector Of the Once of Price Admin
istration that the enforcement d.
vision prepare an injunction suit
against q Washington grocer after
the panel found he had failed to
comply with last weeks order to cor
rect alleged violations Of price post
ing and ceiling regulations.
The panel also directed A. A.
Migeot. operator of Herzog's Sea
Food Restaurant at Eleventh street
and Maine avenue S.W., to pay
treble damages of $3.50 20 for alleged
overcharges on bread and butter
cigarettes and wine.
Mr.. Migeot indicated today that
he wanted to settle the matter out
Of court, but reserved further COM
ment until he had received a COM
munication from the panel confirm
Ing yesterdays action.
The panel cleared one dealer OF
alleged ceiling violations, planned
action against three more at Its
next meeting Friday and referred
another case to the enforcement
division for investigation.
The case cleared was that of a
grocer who returned TO the hearing
yesterday with a statement from
his local board that he was in
compliance.
Turned over to the enforcement
division for further study was the
case Of the operator of a fruit and
vegetable stand who said he was

able foodstuffs.

Both Houses Pleased
Over FWA Grant
For New Hospitals

Support for the Tydines- -Bilbo-
D'Alesandro proposal for Federal aid
for construction Of . medical center
to be operated by Emergency, Gar
f1eld and perhaps other nonprofit
hospitals Of Washington was voiced
today by Representative Coffee,
Democrat, of Washington, chairman
Of the District Appropriations SUBJ
committee.
On both sides of Capitol Hill there
was qualification over the Federal
Works Agency grants for construc-
ton OF new hospitals for the two
white teaching hospitals" George
Washington and Georgetown-but
with this . declaration that there
Is q need yet to be filled.
McCarran Favors Plan.
Senator McCarran, Democrat, of
Nevada, who was chairman OF the
Senate District Committee before he
became head of the Judiciary Com
mittee, last night announced he
would support the Emergency Gar
field plans.
Pleased over the FWA ALLEGATION
Of 81, 4,100, 900 for erection Of two 400
bed hospitals for the universities,
Senator McCarran said this did not
meet the whole problem. He said
he hoped Congress would see At
to round out the picture by addi-
tional aid In the pattern suggested
by the pending bills.
Representative Coffee said he was
convinced an additional Federal
grant was entirely justified because
of the responsibility which Congress
has toward protection Of the health
Of the great army Of Federal workers
who would be needed in Washington
even after the end of the war.
Hopes for Early Action.
He said he had not had time since
his return from his congressional
campaign in Washington to consider
details involved In the proposals. but
that he and other members Of Con-
gress were well aware Of the de-
plorable conditions which had pre-
vailed in Washington's private hos
pitals, due to lack of funds.
Il am hopeful that action can be
taken promptly to correct the whole
picture" Mr.. Coffee said.

@. Why did Jesus use parallels?
M. O. Z.
A. The reason is given in His own
words, Matthew. xiii. 1915; Mark, iv.
II. II: Luke. viii. 10. The parable
conveys q religious truth in propor-
ton to the faith of the hearer. To
the dull 1t IS merely a story; to the
instructed it reveals mysteries Of
the kingdom of God.
@. Are there any instances In
modern times of burying the heart
in 4 separate place?-W. r. r.
A. Gordon, In the Romance Of
Medicine" says that the heart Of
Pilsudski, Polish President, was at

late Prime Minister of England, was
cremated, his heart was left for
burial.

A. The surfbird winters in South
America as far south as the Strait
Of Magellan and breeds high on the
mountains Of Central Alaska. For
nearly $50 years after the species
was named its nest and eggs re-
mained unknown. Finally, in 1926,
the first one was found in Mount
Mckinley National Park on a bar
rem, rocky ridge, 1000 feet above the
timber line.
Q. What Is the origin of the GUS
tom of ringing = ships bell every
half hour?-E. l.. H.
A. The ringing of a ships bell
every half hour until a total of

the hourglass which was made to
empty every 80 minutes. On board
ship every turn was signaled by
striking the bell, once for the first
turn. twice for the second turn. and
50 on.

Walcheren's Batteries Are

Bv The Associated Press

The final cleanup of Ger
man troops in southwestern
Holland was in progress last
"wednesday night as Brit
ish and Canadian forces drove
onto little Walcheren island
at the entrance to the Schelde
estuary from three directions
and squeezed the isolated Nazi
garrison into a hopeless posi-
ton.
British commandos landed
before dawn under heavy ma
val cover both at Vlissingen
(Flushing) on the south coast
and at Westkapelle on the is
lands western tip, while the
Canadians fought across a
shell-swept causeway onto
Walcheren's eastern shore.
The Nazis were compressed
into a watery pocket measur-
ing roughly six by eight miles
and a dispatch said Walche-
ren's batteries already were
silenced.
