McKEESPORT, Pa, Nov. d.
Fourteen year old Jimmy Clark,
honorably discharged as he was
about to go overseas with para
troop contingent, won't have to go
back to the fifth grade schoolroom
he left to join the Army.
Jimmy spent IL months in the
Army and was at an embarkation
point waiting to be sent overseas
when his officers learned he was
only IA. He made his six training
jumps after volunteering for the
paratroops so I could double my
allotment to mother"
When he came back home, it
looked as if he would have to re-
turn to public school, since the State
law requires that all children under
16 attend school.
The American Legion came to his
rescue, however, and now Jimmy is
headed for vocational trade school,
where he will learn to be an auto
mobile mechanic.

10 Double Production
|0f B-Ls in ; Months
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SEATTLE, Nov. 22.-The Boeing
Aircraft Co., which reported yester-
day it was converting its huge "Plant
o" here from Flying Fortress to
B-2o production, has been called on
by 1t. Gen. william s. Knudsen,
chief Of the Air Technical Service
Command, to double B-29 produc-
tion in three months.
At a press conference last night,
Gen. Knudsen declared: "The need
for B-29s is vital because they pro-
vide the quickest and best means for
smashing Japan. Just as the Bit
and the B-24 wrecked German pro-
duction from the air, so must the
B-29 wreck Japanese production.
1--WE must double the production Of
B-29s in the next three months. We
can do 1t if the people at home will
forget this silly talk about the war
being over and keep working"
Under plans announced yesterday,
five huge plants-three Boeing, one
Martin and one Bell-will be de-
voted entirely to production of Boe-
ing B-29s.
Production of Boeing Bits will
continue at Douglas and Lockheed
plants in California, under the CO.
operative arrangement which has
existed since May, 1941," the COM
pany added.
The company described the plant
conversion here, more than halt
completed, as without parallel in
industrial history, because 1t is be-
ing accomplished while continuing
to turn out Bit Fortresses at o
big production rate until conver-
sion Is complete"

One of the most remarkable of the

The war, which severed Iceland

President Admits Saying Damn,

By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt confesses to
q little lusty cussing when his vot-

But, ne insists, he didn't take the
name of the Deity in vain-Time

So that he wouldn't get any more
letters from such associations, Mr.
Roosevelt told a news conference
yesterday, he was relating this ac-
count of what happened when he
voted November at the Town Hall
at Hyde Park, NY:
While an old friend, Tom Leon
ard, stood outside, the Chief Ex-
ecutive went into the booth, had
a couple of tries at the lever and
locked himself in. So he called out:
Tom, the damn thing won't work.
He admitted he said damn. But
he said some person-he didn't
know who but he must be awfully
deaf-inserted another short word

Home Institute Urqes
Postwar Planning
By D. T.. Residents

Urging WaShingtonians to plan
now for postwar homes, Cecil w
Farrar, president of the Richmond
Radiator Co.. New York. last night
predicted that new homes to be built
when priorities become available
will offer improvements, but, he de-
clared, there will be nothing revo-
lutionary."
I'VE Americans want livable
homes, with necessary durable con-
veniences for living comfort" he
told the first session of the Home
Planning Institute at the United
States Chamber of Commerce, mot
a miracle home in which novelty
rather than comfort is the theme"
There will be greater conveniences
in the kitchen, he predicted, with
the refrigerator, the work table, and
the stove top more on the same level
than at present.
Many Questions Asked.
Many questions were asked from
the large audience at the first Tues
day evening session of the institute.
Replies were made from a panel Of
speakers, including: Mr.. Farrar,
Claude w. Owen, past president of
the Washington Building Congress,
who presided, and Lewis T. Breu-
ninger, president of the Washington
Real Estate Board.
The meeting was opened by
Charles H. Tompkins, president of
the Washington Building Congress.
Congratulations to the building
Congress for starting the institute
were extended by District Commits
sioner j. Russell Young in a letter
read by Charles T. Penn, general
chairman of arrangements for the
institute.
The next session will be held
Tuesday week at the same audi
torium. The subject of home
financing will be discussed by Harry
w. Kane, ir., vice president of Co.
lumbia Title Insurance Co.; Sidney
Taliaferro, vice president of Riggs
National Bank, who is president of
the D. c. Bankers Association;
Clarence E. Kefauver, sr, of Co.
lumbia Federal Savings and Loan
Association, who is president of the
District of Columbia Building and
Loan League, and Howard Kacy,
vice president of Acacia Mutual Life
Insurance Co.
Sees '"True Values" Here.
Replying to questions, Mr.. Breu-
ninger said that the cost of home
construction had risen from IS to
40 per cent, due to the price rise of
ell materials and increase in labor
costs,
While land values were higher
here than in some other cities, Mr..
Breuninger said they were justified
because of the fact they are in the
National Capital which has very
limited territory, laid out on an
Ideal plan of broad streets and
broad avenues" The city has a
low real estate tax rate, excellent
water and sewer facilities, he added
and declared: Land values here are
true values"

Effective Immediately, the use of

notice. it was announced today by
A. T. Lundberg, county water super
intendent.
Mr.. Lundberg said the restriction
was necessary to provide an ade-

taken to remedy the shortage, he
said, through a $270,000 appropria-
ton for construction of additional
water mains and to increase pump
ing station capacity.
Mr.. Lundberg said the program
of water projects included installa-
tion of 36-inch main from the
Dalecarlia filter plant to the District
end of Chain Bridge, a similar main
from the Virginia end of the bridge
to the Chain Bridge hill, a 24-inch
connection to the Chain Bridge hill
pumping station and an increase in
the station pumping capacity.
Mr.. Lundberg said the order also
bans the use of water for washing
cars, sidewalks or paved areas with
