Hearing Set Thursday
On Restaurant Bill
Number of Witnesses
Called by D'AIesondro

Public hearings will be opened at
1870 am. Thursday on the bill to
strengthen sanitary control of public
and private restaurants in WASH
ington under plans announced to-
day by Representative D'Alesandro,
Democrat, of Maryland.
Mr.. D'Alesandro, who is chairman
of the House District Subcommittee
on Health, Hospitals and Public
Welfare, has asked a number of wit
neSses to appear at the opening
session. They include Commissioner
Guy Mason, Corporation Counsel
Richmond B. Keech, Health Officer
George c. Rutland Robert j. Will
son of the Washington Restaurant
Association and representatives of
the United States Public Health
Service and the Federal Security
Agency.
Discussion is expected to develop
over several features of the bill
as passed by the Senate. The Com
mlssioners are believed to be opposed
to the requirement that restaurants
be graded according to how they
meet sanitary standards. A spokes-
man for the FSA has objected to the
requirement that restaurants on
Government properties be subjected
to sanitary grading and inspection
by the Public Health Service.
The Commissioners are said to be-
lieve that mandatory grading ac-
cording to sanitation is not essential
to- proper enforcement of health
rules, but this view was rejected by
the Senate District Committee and

A sizable percentage of children
involved in these cases get into

children are the principal victims
When the father leaves, the mother
usually has ito 60 to work, leaving
the children without parental super
vision. Naturally, many of these
children get into trouble"
Many men are glad of the oppor-
tunity to leave home and forget
about their obligations, Mr.. West
rich said. Although most of the
fathers in these cases earn high
wages as war workers, many make
no effort to send any of the money
home, he said.
Mr.. Westrich blamed war nerves
for existing conditions. He listed
intoxication and mental illness as
other major factors in causing home
breakups.
In all cases, an effort Is made tc

charged that public housing here
has cost about twice as much as
comparable dwellings built by pri-

In replying to Mr.. Nickel today,
Mr. Bates wrote Senator Burton
that Mclean Gardens and Fairling-

Corp, are luxury developments, sc
different from the normal type OF
