Fourth District Firm
To Be Cited by 0PA
3 Foce Block Market
Hearing on Monday

The District Office Of Price Ad-
ministration indicated today it was
preparing to issue a suspension
order against a fourth Washington
establishment on charges Of acquir-
ling meat without ration points from
Ia black market supplier.
Three restaurants-Fan and Bills,
Del Rio and the 400 Lounge-were
cited on similar charges Sunday,
and will face an oPA administrative
hearing in Municipal Court on Mon
day. The three, the OPA claimed,
acquired choice beef from an out-of-
town vendor at fancy prices"
OPA officials said a grocery store
under investigation also was be-
lieved to have received meat from
the same supplier.
Meanwhile, OPA Enforcement At
torney John L. Laskey admitted
that the meat supplier was still at
large, although OPA investigators
are attempting to track down leads
on his whereabouts.
Questioned as to whether he could
proceed with Mondays hearing
without the supplier, Mr.. Laskey
commented: You can prove a case
against person for receiving stolen
goods without producing the thief"
He stressed that he was not re-
leasing anything on the supplier
until we get him"
The restaurants have insisted
they surrendered ration points for
all meat purchased. The OPA
estimates that 1903 pounds Of beef
are involved in the transactions,
with total ration value of 10000
points.

CarIin Gives 7 Plans
For Care Of Children
OF Servicemen
Sharing Of Homes and
Nursery Schools Held
Possible Solutions

Two possible solutions to the
problem of care for children of
servicemen were held out today by
William F.. Carlin, president of the
Service Aid Council of Montgomery
County Selective Service Board No.
2, which serves the Silver Spring,
Takoma Park and Kensington areas.
Mr.. Carlin said wives of service
men might overcome financial diff
culties by a share-the- home ar
rangement whereby one wife would
work while the other remained at
home to care for the children.
An alternative solution, he said,
is nursery schools where children of
working mothers may be cared for
during the day.
Mr.. Carlin said the council will set
up file of persons who wish to
share their homes, and of those who
must give up their homes and would
like to move in with another fam
lily. Interested persons may re-
ceive additional information by call
ing Shepherd 1919.
Two Schools Set Up.
Two nursery schools already have
been set up in the area covered by
the council, Mr.. Carlin said. He
added that the council will attempt
to secure Lanham Act funds for
new schools as they are needed.
The schools now in operation, he
said, include one with facilities for
40 children at the Fairway Homes
development, Lanark way and
Greenock road, Silver Spring, and
one with facilities for 80 children
at the Takoma Park Elementary
School on Philadelphia avenue.
Mr.. Carlin said a series of meet
ings will be held in the area to
acquaint mothers with available
facilities for care of preschool and
school-age children. The meetings
which will be announced soon, will
have as speakers representatives of
the Federal Works agency.
Qualifications Listed.
Qualifications for attendance at
the nursery schools are as follows:
Children must be between 2 and S
years old, the mothers must work, or
the father must have a job which
requires that he sleep during the
day. The rates are 50 a week for
one child, $3.50 for two children in
the same family and $6 for three
children in the same family. Food
is provided for the children.
The recently organized council
also offers to families of servicemen
information on mortgages, taxes, in
surances and legal advice.
A meeting of the Executive Com
mittee of the council will be held at
4 pm. Tuesday at the Kensington
Armory.

most mental hospitals.
Thus insulin was introduced to
psychiatry. 1t had previously been
used only in the treatment of dia-
betes, where it was necessary to
burn up the accumulation of ex-
cess sugar in the blood. Among the
psychotic patients one effect was
noted which seemed entirely beside
the point. 1t gave them enormously
increased appetities. They were
hungry all the time, especially for
sugars and starches.

must. They developed all the COM
mon symptoms and one to which
not much attention previously had
been given. 1t was observed by DR..
William Sargant, British PSYCHE
artist: they began to lose weight at
an alarming rate. Then DR.. Sar-
CANT made the same observation
among neurosis cases resulting from
the London blitz. 1t seemed prob
able there was some connection be-
tween the two. 1t still is not clear
whether the neurosis causes the
loss of weight, whether the loss of
weight accentuates the neurosis, or
what kind of a vicious circle is
set up.
One Common Explanation.
A common explanation is that
the. mental condition interferes with
normal stomach secretions. Hence,
the food is not digested. The pa
tient feels worse than ever and
worries about the weight loss, in
addition to his other worries. He
reaches the point where he cannot
stand the least exertion.
