the zoning Commission for partial
rezoning of the area would have the
immediate effect of blocking multi

The Congress Heights appeal was
denied and the Bradbury Heights
appeal is still pending.
Normal Place for Expansion"
This is natural, normal place
for expansion of colored housing" !"
Mrs. Roosevelt exclaimed when she
saw the Bradbury Heights area.
She declared that If the Zoning
Commission acts to permit building
of multi-family housing in that
area, undeveloped sites lying be-

should 60 to the colored because,
in her opinion, their need is greater.
Contemplated construction of 600
units for colored there, Mrs. Roose-
velt believes, will relieve some of
the pressure on overcrowded colored
residential districts elsewhere.
Mrs. Roosevelt emphasized that
she wanted housing for colored par
ticularly in areas where it could be
constructed at low cost to allow low
rents.
Mrs. Roosevelt explained she hopes
that her fact finding" tours will
turn the attention of real estate and
housing officials to the need.
Her guides, Mrs. Pauline Coggs of
the Washington Urban League and
Franklin Thorne of the National
Capital Housing Authority. took her
first to Sixteenth street and Military
road NV, where IA colored fam
lilies on Vinegar Hill' are all that
remain of large colored settle
ment that was built after the Civil
War around Fort Stevens.
Similar expansion of white hous-
ing into a former colored area was
shown to Mrs Roosevelt at Ne
braska avenue and Davenport
street NV, where a few houses
and a colored church still stand be-
tween the Alice Deal Junior High
School and Woodrow Wilson High
School.

vanishing neighborhoods," Mrs.
Coggs described the settlements. Gar
field, close by Congress Heights area,
she said, had been exclusively COL
ored when President Garfield set it
aside for freed Negroes of Wash
ington.
In Arlington, Va, Mrs. Roosevelt
saw two trailer camps, of six acres
and nine acres, respectively, where
about 200 colored families moved
after their homes were demolished
in construction of highways around
new Army and Navy buildings there.
Many of these families came to the
District to try to find homes, Mrs.
Coggs said when little other hous-
ing was made available to them in
Virginia.
Mrs. Roosevelt also rode through
Georgetown and down Chain Bridge
road near Foxhall road to see rem
nants of Negro housing.
She plans to take another tour
with John Ihlder, executive director
OF National Capital Housing Au-
thority, as her guide.

District Poundmaster Frank Marks
said this morning that his dog
catchers are brining in an average
OF 40 dogs a day. but that for the
past several weeks none of the ami
mails examined at the pound have

with regulations making it manda-

Mr.. Marks reiterated his warning to

Steuart Loses

OF 0PA Ban
Power Of Agency

Is Upheld

L. P. Steuart & Bro, Inc, fuel oil
firm, today lost its first round in its
fight to resume unlimited sales OF
fuel oil when District Court Justice
Jennings Bailey upheld the local

powers Of suspension for alleged
violations of rationing regulations.
Justice Bailey overruled a motion
OF the firm for temporary injunction
against the OPA, dissolved a tenn
porary restraining order and dis
missed the complaint in which the
Steuart firm claimed the OPA had
no power to suspend its dealings in
fuel oil.
Today's development follows an

The JurlSt, pointing out that the
OPA power to allocate and reallocate
supplies stemmed from the Second
War Powers Act, asserted:
IF the agency which the OPA
may authorize to distribute the ma
terlals or facilities misuses its au-
thority and privilege and violates
the regulations promulgated for its
guidance and control, I see no rea-
son why the OPA should not revoke
the allocations to and powers of the
agency
The jurist, recalling that the firm
had argued that the suspension or
der would interfere with the needs
of other agencies of the Govern
ment, commented: But apart from
any other consideration it is
enough to say that none of them
has sought to intervene in this
case"
Sees Protection of Public.
The suspension order in this case.
Justice Bailey continued, is not like
the suspension order issued by the
War Production Board in the case
of the B. Simon Hardware Co.,
which was in the nature of pen
atty or punishment for past con-
duct, but rather is for the ''protec-
ton Of the public as to future action
TO prevent continuance of the vio-
lation of regulations the OPA made
for the protection of the public"
There can be no question of the
necessity of the preservation of those
materials which are necessary both
to the carrying on of the war and
the health and existence of the
people of the country" the jurist
declared, "and the powers given by
the President to those he has chosen
to carry out these objects are neces-
sary and proper in time of war"
Justice Bailey said that he agreed
in general with the reasoning of
the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals
which ruled recently in favor of the
OPA and the agencys suspension

County's Blood
Bank Donation
Falling Behind

With the year more than half
gone, Macomb County Req
Cross Chapter officials fear that
the county's quota of $500 pints
of blood for the fighting fore
es will not be attained, unless
citizens respond more gener-
ously to blood bank appeals.
AT the present time the coun-
tvs acquired total is 5000 pints
of blood-which is a small part
OF the required county quota
of 5000, and a fraction of the
ational goal, 100000 pints.
Mount Clemens will stage a
special blood bank on July 20
and Fl at the Methodist Church.
A total of $50 registrations are
required TO keep the staff busy
from 3 to 1880 p. m, on the
first day and l to 5 p. m, on
the second day.
So far, very few registrations
have been received, and chapter
officials are alarmed. 1t is i'm
perative that the blood bank is
a success, because such bloody
engagements as Saipan, Cher
bourg, Caen and the prolonged
fighting yet to come, mean a
more urgent need for blood
plasma to save lives.
