Sammy Raves Scores

A group of original musical manu-
scripts and arrangements of Band
Leader Sammy Kaye, with phono-
graph recordings showing how the
arrangements were performed by
his band, have been acquired by the
Library of Congress, Dr.. Harold
Spivacke, chief Of the division Of
music, announced today.
Declaring this is ''the first signifi-
can't collection" OF this kind Of
arrangement to be received by the
Library OF Congress, Mr.. Spivacke
said "the orchestrations should be
OF great value to historians and
music students OF the future who
wish to get at the root of popu-
lar movement which has spread
throughout the world
Mr.. Spivacke pointed out the
orchestrations are important as re-
vealing how Americas serious COM
posers got their basic training and
experience in orchestration" and
also how dance erchestrations were
adapted for players able to handle
many instruments. These arrange
ments are scored for Individual
members Of the band rather than
for the instrument.

Protection of 7een-Age Girls
Is Problem for Government
Advice and Aid Offered but Leisure
Activity Is Left to the individual

The murder of Dorothy Berrum
brings up the question: What pro-
lection does the Government give
'teen-age girls, after urging them to
come to Washington to work?
An indeterminate number of girls,
fresh out of high school, from II
years of age up, have crowded into
the city in answer to civil service
pleas such as Washington needs
youl From the time you arrive
Washington offers you a colorful,
ever-moving pageant"
The Government promises them
"just the type of room you want, at
a price you can afford, plenty of
top entertainment, fun"
Officials say these girls are vitality
needed to fill positions of clerks,
typists and stenographers. But does
the Government watch out for them
morally-as closely as it does for
the WAVES, WACS, SPARS and
woman marines, who must be 20
before they enlist?
Most servicewomen live in bar
racks, closely supervised by military
authorities. They keep certain
hours, must sign out before leaving
the barracks for any long period of
time, and are offered group recrea-
ton. groups supervised by military
personnel. They must leave in
formation as to where they can be
reached at all times. t
Civilians Not Supervised.
Civilian workers may live in Gov
eminent projects, may live in pri-
vate homes, may live in apartments
Their time is their own. and no
check is made on how they spend
it--except to see that they report
to their jobs.
One ranking Civil Service Com
mission official said this morning,
IF I had an 18-year-old sister who
wanted to come to Washington, I'd
say come ahead-so long as you
behave with reasonable carefulness,
you'll get along all right"
An employees counselor in a Gov
eInmeHb agency SAID, we oOn give
them talks on morals-we expect
them to behave like adults. But we
do steer them into the right recre-
ational groups"
William j. Bissell, head of the
large Government housing projects
for civilian and military girls said,
I'VE have competent matrons and
guards on duty. We assume the girls
are adult-sometimes some of them
fool u.s."
When a girl comes to Washington
to work for the Government, she is
found rooms-either in a private
home, or in housing project such
as Arlington Farms. She is coun-
seled in her work. is told about va

The induction station at Fort
Myer, Va, which has been sending
District men into the services since
January, 1912, will. close October 81
and the buildings will be converted
into WAC barracks, it was learned
today.
1t is expected that at first District
selectees will be sent to Baltimore
both for preinduction examination
and induction after the Fort Myer
station closes.
Later, plans call for the men to go
to Fort Meade. which has been set
up as personnel center. Men would
be indicted and discharged there.
Closing of Fort Myer was said to
be in line with the Army's new policy
of consolidating all personnel work
of the Army-induction, reception
and separation-into single centers
like Fort Meade.
1t was also an indication, however,
that armed forces calls have leveled
off and that sudden stepups of calls
are not expected again. Army calls
are expected to continue indefinitely
at the rate of 10000 to 100000 men
month
At its busiest season, 300 men a
day were passing through the Fort
Myer station. Now it is processing
about 10 day, including Is induc-
lions and so preinduction examina-
tons.
Although the station complement
has been reduced as inductions have
fallen off, it was admitted that it
was not economically sound to run
the station with less than $50 men
day being processed.
The station now has complement

approach this issue with regard for
all the common human interests in
volved," adding, Il am confident
that the leadership of st. Paul's
Parish will do the same"
DIR. Marvin Criticized.
Sharpest criticism of DR.. Marvin
came from DIR. M. P. Eslin, dentist,
who told the congregation he was
a graduate of GNU and had taught
on its faculty, but felt impelled to
tell what had happened at a meet
ing of the church vestry last week
with the university president.
DR.. Marvin made several con-
f1icting remarks" DR.. Eslin said.
He simply contradicted himself, in
our opinion. 1t was a very en-
barrassing affair. The whole eve
ming was simply waste of time.
He told us that three months
before he hadn't the. faintest idea
that this matter would be dumped
into his lap. Then he showed us a
map with plan which he said the
Park and Planning Commission had
evolved for placing the hospital on
this block. The two statements, in
our opinion, didn't meet at all. He
made other statements later which
showed to us that the university
itself had planned 1t for some time.
- They've had the plan all
along.
+ Called "Capricious Move"
I'VE believe that this is a ca
precious and arbitrary use of power
by semipublic institution, GNU, to
the disadvantage of another semi
public institution, st. Paul's Church.
No one disputes the right of emil
nent domain, for public use, but
GNU is not public institution"
In answer to a question from a
member of the parish as to why the
Government was planning to take
st. Paul's. whereas it had exempted
st. Mary's Catholic Church on the
site Of the new General Accounting
Office, near Fifth and G streets NV,
Mr.. Jack explained that st. Mary's
had life tenancy in the land
If the Government took that
church, he said, under a will which
gave the land to the church, the
FUNDS would not go to the church
but to the heirs of an estate.

.Reiinduction
OF Veterans
Ordered Ended
Hershey's Approval
Now Required,
Droft Boards Told

Draft boards were told today to
stop inducing veterans without
specific authorization from the di-
rector of selective service.
Reduction in the needs Of the
armed forces and because combat
casualties are being used for limited
service jobs, a selective service
spokesman said, make it less neces-
sary to keep going aggressively after
those who have been discharged. /"
No estimate was available on the
number of men sworn into the
armed forces twice but 1t previously
had been reported that a number Of
men who had seen overseas service
were re-inducted after draft board
doctors examined them again and
pronounced them fit for duty,
despite the fact the armed forces
had let them go.
Classification Eliminated.
In the same memorandum 10
draft boards, it was learned, Sc
lective Service Director Hershey
formally eliminated the limited
service classification, since the
Army has not been accepting lin
tied service men since June. Gen.
Hershey also instructed draft
boards to put all men over 80 in
class "A instead of scattering
them among the other classified
tons with the letter H to signify
they were beyond draft age.
This was bookkeeping maneuver
to make 1t unnecessary for the
older men to have their cases re-
viewed by appeal boards.
Procedure "a Nuisance.
The selective service spokesman
said it had been necessary to re-
induct veterans when draft boards
were trying to squeeze all they
could" out of the manpower pool,
but that this procedure had required
a lot Of work of draft boards and
had been "a nuisance" to men who
already had served.
Draft boards, the selective service
Spokesman explained, might still be
able to get an authorization from
Gen. Hershey to induct a man who
had been discharged to 60 back to
critical work and had failed to do so
Men with honorable discharges will
be retained in &c, the classification
for men in the service, while those
with other than honorable dis
charges will be put in At.

Federal Control
OF Commercial
Rents Rejected
Senate Small Business
Unit Finds Is Cuses
OF Excessive Rates

The Senate Small Business Com
mittee today informed Congress
that Federal control Of commercial
rents here and in other cities Is
mot justified at this time" as the
problem Is mot national in scope"
although admittedly serious in iso-
lated cases.
The committee reported that,
while 16 cases of excessive rents in
the District revealed. some indi-
vidual cases of grossly unconscion-
able dealing" there is nothing to
show that they are typical or wide
spread" or the basis for a recon-
mendation Of Federal control.
Two other committees have the
Washington problem under study.
Chairman Bilbo of the Senate Dis
trict Committee has promised ito
consider" the matter when Congress
reconvenes November IA, while
Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee has been study
ing reports of alleged rent gouging
among commercial establishments.
d. c. Committees Given Files.
The Small Business Committee re-
ported it had made it's files on local
cases available to the two District
committees, but at the same time in
formed Congress that it was mot
relinquishing its proper interest con-
corning the small business aspect Of
commercial rent abuses in the Dis
trict of Columbia"
The committees report based on
testimony in July covers /, 500 COM
plants of excessive commercial and
industrial rentals, 300 of them from
New York City. THE record estab-
fishes prima facie the necessity for
State or local control of commercial
rents in New York City and to far
lesser extent, perhaps, in Philadel-
phia, Washington and New Orleans"
the report said.
Need for remedial State action in
New York was described as ''imme-
date and urgent" with such prac-
tees threatening "the security and
continuance of substantial num-
Der of small concerns, particularly
in the midtown Manhattan area"
Agency Surveys Released.
The committee also made public
separate surveys requested from the
Commerce Department and the
Smaller War Plants Corp, both of
which found an acute situation in
New York City, but only scattered
instances of rent gouging in other
sections Of the country.
Neither agency was requested by
the committee to make a survey Of
conditions in the District.
! A committee spokesman later ex-
planned that no survey was made
here as both agencies were without
field offices in the District.

reported they were without informal

For Support
OF COP Candidate

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 7. CUP)--
Mischa Auer, sad-faced film come
dian, revealed Thursday that he had
been expelled from the Russian
American club of Los Angeles be-
cause of speeches he made in be-
half of Governor Thomas E. DeWey'S
campaign fer the presidency.
Auer said the letter removing him
from the organization of which he
had served as vice-president was
dated November 30, about a month
after he had made several speeches
supporting Governor Dewey.
The letter, he said, charged that
he had "indulged in malicious at
tacks against his own motherland,
Russia. and against the democratic
traditions CT America"
Il accept the expulsion as a trib-
ute to my Americanism," Auer said.
Il want it understood that my at
titude expressed in letter to the
club had nothing to do with my
sympathy for the Russian people, as
a people," he continued.
THE point is that l am against
communizing America and I want
others to leave the American way
of life alone
Auer, who has been citizen OF
the United States IA years. has

SACRAMENTO. Dec. 7. CUP)-
Progress ! in California's bat t e
against the oriental fruit moth,
major insect enemy of deciduoUs
fruit crops, was reported by H. M.
Armitage, chief of the department
of agriculture bureau of plant quar-
antine.
Armitage told semi-annual meet
ing of the Association of County
Agricultural Commissioners that
the pest has been found in 10
counties, from Sutter in the north
to Orange County in southern Cali
fornia. 1t was discovered first in
southern California in 1912, Armi-
tage said.
The moth was introduced into the
United States on japanese cherry
trees planted in Washington, d. C.,
in 1910, he said.
Armitage pointed out that mil
lions of parafites produced by the
University of California have been
distributed, and said "the future CT
our control work does not look near
ly so dark as it did in 1912"
Additionally, ch m lca COM
pounds. including DDT, have been
found effective in destroying the
moth, Armitage said.
He added that inspection CT
trucks moving from southern Cali
fornia will be continued through
out the winter. but inspection OF
passenger automobiles will be Sus-
pended after December Is until next
