Sell Slowly as
Ration IsLfted

Selling OF ration-free women S
shoes at So and under pair, as au-
thorized for two-week period by
the Ofdce Of Price Administration,
was of to a slow start here today,
but a rush was predicted when, as
one dealer observed, people geper-
ally learn they can get something
without ration points"
The bad weather was blamed for
the fact that sales of the novelty
type shoes were reported only fair
this morning.
One dealer said, however, he had
received good response despite the
fact the store had not advertised in
adavnce.
Another said he was looking for a
rush to begin late today, although
business In the forenoon was only
average.
Shoe merchants may sell is per
cent of their stocks of women's shoes
listed in September inventory re-
ports to OPA. In announcing the
ration-free arrangement, which will
continue through January %, the
agency said the action was taken to
permit dealers to dispose of certain
type of shoes, particularly hard-to-
sell noverty shoes.
If more than So is charged for a
pair, ration stamps must be surren-
dered, OPA stressed.

Schools Will Receive
More Rafioned Food
Under New OpA Plan
FDA Survey Findings
Provide for Increased
Meat, Processed Food

New allotments of rationed food
for schools, the Office of Price Ad-
miniStration announced today, will
assure Americas school children of
more generous amounts of food in
lunchroom and cafeteria meals. The
plan is based on an estimate of the
amount of rationed food needed
to meet school lunch requirements
set up by the Food Distribution
Administration.
The Governments school lunch
program. in effect since last Jan
uary, is a wartime measure to guar
antee school children we'll
planned and balanced noon meal
The FDA has set up a definite pro-
gram OF food requirements for two
distinct types of meals that in
clude rationed foods. The OPA's
adjustment of point allowances for
school meals is designed to imple-
ment this program.
Public school officials said they
believed only one District school,
Margaret Murray Washington Voca-
tlonal Schools now affiliated with
the FDA and so would be the only
one eligible to apply for increased
allotment. Robert L. Haycock, su-
perintendent of schools, said, how
ever, that he wanted to give the
new order more study before decid-
ing lts scope among the District
schools.
Based on Number Served,
Allowances announced today rep
resent an appreciable increase in
the amount of food allotments for
meat and processed foods in most
schools. Adjustments will be made
on application to local war price
and rationing boards. Schools with
new lunch programs going into ef-
feet may apply Immediately for in
creased allotments for the Janu-
ary-February period.
Today's allowances are based on
the number of persons served at
schools in January and February
and the amount of food currently
used, rather than the amount of
food used in December, 1912, the
base month under the OPA Gin
stltutional user" rationing program.
Heretofore school lunchrooms and
cafeterias were given allotments of
food much like commercial eating
establishments, based on tn e
amount of rationed food used,
number of persons served in De-
cember, 1912, and gross dollars
revenue from food services.
Cooperation Optional.
Cooperation with the Govern
ment's school lunch program is op-
tional. OPA officials estimated that
of approximately 100000 schools in
the United States more than half
serve lunch. About $4,000 have con-
tracts with the FDA to serve stand
ard-type meals and to receive A.
nancial aid.
Schools under contract with FDA
are designated as type "a" or "B."
Maximum allowances for each are
as follows:
Type "a" allowances for a COM
plete meal, providing from one third
to one-half the daily nutritional re-
quirements: Sugar, .03 pound; pro-
cessed food. 6 point; meats and fats,
.93 point.
Type "B" for a simpler lunch re-
curing less rationed food: Sugar,
.03 pound: processed food, 4 point;
meats and fats, S point.
Dating from January I, all schools

Mrs. Roosevelt Sees
Congestion Menace
In Zone Restrictions
Intends to Inspect
Bradbury Heights Area,
Make No Apology

Mrs. Roosevelt today told a press
conference that zoning restrictions
which prevent colored persons from
living in any part of the District
where they otherwise might be able
to afford to build houses may ulti-
mately bring about overcrowded
housing conditions that will men
ace" the entire city.
Asked if she thought all zonins
regulations should be changed al
once to permit occupancy by colored
families, Mrs. Roosevelt said each
case arising should be judged ION
its own merits"
She discussed the Negro housing
question when reporters asked il
she intended to grant a requested
apology to the Bradbury Heights
Citizens Association, which has OBJ
jected to statement in her column
that there was Bradbury Heights
opposition to erection of apart
ments on site Gin the center of a
Negro residential district"
The Presidents wife said she did
not intend to make any apology or
take any action on the associations S
request. She intends, however, to
visit the area at the earliest oppor-
tunity. She had been informed, she
said, that there was considerable"
Negro occupancy there" but had
never been there herself.
Sees Housing Made Difficult.
"If you restrict by zoning a part
of town where Negroes could afford
to build" she said, you are making
decent housing difficult"
Informed that property owners
were worried in some cases about
the value of their holdings. Mrs.
Roosevelt replied, ''It is unfortunate
that these few have to suffer"
Each situation has to be decided
in the light of the greatest good for
the greatest number" she continued.
Ultimately, she believes that housing
needs will overbear the objection of
"the few she said.
She added that in some cases COL
ored property holders were object
ing to building for their own race
as q detriment to their property
holdings. While it is natural" to
wish to avoid financial loss. Mrs
Roosevelt concluded, she believes
the good of every one should be a
standard of conduct.
Urges Postwar Night Work Ban.
She recalled she had said many
times before that crowding OF
Negroes is already a health and
social menace for their own race
and may spread to the entire city if
housing arrangements are not made
for them.
Turning to the national scene,
Mrs. Roosevelt declared that she be-
lieved industrial night work for
both men and women should be
abolished after the war except wnere
essential. She explained
wartime requirements have brought
about night work in many indus
tries that she believes can afford to
drop 1t after the war. Long night
hours, she believed, turn a persons s
life" into mere existence.
She also advocated q simple in
ternational language which would
make 1t 'easy for people to talk to
one another" She said that Esper-
anto, however. had not seemed to
be particularly successful.
