vert when the. housing emergency
had passed.
A spokesman for the Bureau of
Sanitation said his office had been
trying for the past year and half
to get people out of bad rooms. !"
Rats, lack of window screens, poor
ventilation and dirty premises, he
said, accounted for most of the re-
jections.

"If householders have good places" !"
he said, "they should make them
available, but people shouldn't be
put in dank Easements just because
they have no choice between that
and park bench.
IF we turn our backs and forget
about bad rooms is it going to point
up the need for more and better
housing?" he asked.

ported that about so per cent of

the troubles were evenly divided
between plumbing and electrical de-
fects.
Where the defects are not fixed
and a dwelling is disapproved, the
landlord who continues in opera
ton is taken to court for operating
without a license. Then he has the
choice of evicting his roomers or
being hailed into court every month
to pay a fine. Some landlords, Dis
trict officials said, are spending half
their time in court.
The officials agreed that house
holders willing to open up rooms
occupied by sons and daughters
now In the service or away at school
or camp could do much to solve the
housing situation.
Thousands of home owners, said
Mr.. Clouser, have two, three or four
good rooms that are now unoccu-
pied. He pointed out that they do
not come under the rent control
regulations so they would have no
difficulty in getting rio of an unde-
sirable roomer. If they take four
or fewer roomers, they do not have
to go before the Board of Zoning
Adjustment.

These experts said 1t would be
impractical for the Western Allies
to truck in supplies from hundreds
of miles away
Col. Howley would not comment
on what was discussed at a con-
ference attended by Soviet Marshal
Georgi K. Zhukov, who has ordered
his commanders to retain control OF
the entire Berlin municipal admin
istration; 1t. Gen. Lucius D. Clay
for the United States, 1t. Gen. Sir
Ronald Weeks for Great Britain, and
others.
The conference ended without
having reached any agreement. but
Col. Howley optimistically predicted
that when the overall plan for the
city is approved, we will get func-
tioning."
Beriiners Not Starving.
There are an estimated 100000
civilians in the American zone in
Berlin, 5000 in the British and
/ 100000 in the Russian zone.
Col. Howley said reports by his
detachments disclosed that the
people in Berlin were not starving,

but In fact were getting larger
rations, "at least on paper, than
other Russian-held German cities"
"T11e Berlin ration is virtually
equivalent to 1000 calories daily
nearly one-fourth larger than that
prescribed by the Allies in Western
Germany in modification last month
of the substarvation standard pre-
viously set In May Col. Howley
added.
He said nearly 5000 tons of food
were needed daily to feed Berlin, OF
which more than 600 tons were re-
quired in the American zone.
The city is getting 1000 tons of
coal monthly, about half OF what
1t needs. Because of the lack of
coal and gas with which to boil
water, there are many cases of
dysentery, he added.

Vote Sought on Bill
Relieving Veterans
OF Paying Union Dues

An effort to obtain a House vote
this week on legislation which would
free returned veterans from pay
ment of labor union dues was PLAN
ned today by Representative Ran
kin, Democrat. of Mississippi. A bill
to accomplish this was approved
Friday by the House Veterans Com
mittee, which he heads.
The Mississippian asserted the
legislation not only would aid ex-
servicemen but would help break
strikes in industry.
Mr.. Rankin plans to ask the
Rules Committee to clear the bill for
House vote before the summer
recess. If this group refuses to act,
he said he would attempt to force
a vote in some other way, presum-
ably through suspension of the rules
or the filing of discharge petition.
Amendment to GI Bill.
Labeled as an amendment to the
CT bill of rights, Mr.. Rankin's bill
would permit honorably discharged
war veterans to work anywhere they
could get job and would waive, IN
the cases OF closed" or union shops,
normal requirements that they join
union or pay union dues.
Many war industries now operate
under contracts requiring employees
to belong to unions and to retain
their good standing by paying union
dues.
AS a result. Mr.. Rankin said in a
statement, discharged veterans are
having difficulty getting jobs be
cause they can't afford to pay the
excessive union fees"
Called Antistrike Measure.
Mr.. Rankin claimed his bill would
go far toward stopping strikes by
allowing veterans to take jobs
vacated by strikers and to keep them
regardless of contracts requiring
employees to belong to unions.
IF this bill passes and becomes
law" he declared. "it will break
more of the strikes in our defense
industries than anything else that
has been done since the war began.
A proposal similar to Mr.. Rankin's
was offered by Representative
Smith, Democrat, of Virginia last
year. However, the House rejected
it after opponents assailed it as
antiunion and a move to break
CLOSED shop" agreements.

high DDT fog that obscured man
standing 20 feet away but did not
affect breathing.

the beach before Sundays crowds

971 Places Disapproved.
The building inspectors Office re-
ported that between January and
June OF this year 97l rooming houses
and apartments were disapproyed
The Office approved 3.772 dwellings
The Bureau of Sanitation of the
Health Department said $50 dwell
ings had been rejected in the same
period. The health inspectors ap-
proved about 1000 dwellings.
From January to June, notices
went out to IS landlords that they
were operating in A-restricted areas.
The IA who had set up apart
ments or apartment-rooming houses
were given no choice but to evict
or take out all the kitchen facilities.
The other 81, who had opened up
as rooming houses, were given the
choice of closing, reducing the num-
Der of their roomers to four or less
or appealing to the Board of Zoning
Adjustment.
About half the 81, it was reported,
reduced the number of their room
ers. OF those who appealed, some
were told they could operate with
fewer roomers, some were approved
as they were and a few were fatty
denied.
Both the Health Department and
the building inspectors office said
they had nberalized their rules to
take war conditions into considera-
ton.
Robert Clouser, executive officer
of the Zoning Commission and
member of the Board of Zoning
Adjustment, pointed out the board
was now authorized to permit room
ing houses in restricted areas, but
the Zoning Commission has fatty
refused to modify even for the
duration" the regulations against
allowing apartments in the restrict
ed areas-which cover about a third
of the city
Mr.. Clouser added there was
always some question about grant,
ing permission to landlords to allow
more than 10 roomers in their homes
because the board felt larger num-
bers of roomers would blight the
area"
On the score of apartments, he
said the Zoning Commission felt
that housenolders vino wanted to
convert their homes into apartment
units for the duration would have
to make structural changes and 60

NAL FAVORED FOR
new BERN SERVICE

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, June 2.
National Airlines, Inc, has been
recommended by two Civil Aero
nautics board examiners for per
mission to serve New Bern, N. c.
as an intermediate point on the
MAI, New York-Jacksonville MI
ami route. The examiners, Law
renee J. Rosters and Richard A.
Walsh also recommended that an
apnlic alton by Eastern Air Lines
for authority to service New Bern
and Wilmington be denied.
The National recommendation
was partially based on the need
for increased service to the large
Marine base at Cherry Point,
close to New Bern, and surround
ing territory.
Four Lockneed Lodestars are
now being converted at the NAL
Jacksonville base, and National
has orders placed for DOGS and
Consultations. The delivery date
of the DOGS and Consultations
will help determine the type equip
ment that will be used to inaugu-
rate any additional service along
the NAL routes, according to E..
u. Kershaw, National vice presi-
dent in charge of opera atoms.
The Inauguration of service into
New Bern would facilitate mill
tary and naval travel between
that point and Key West, Miami,
Tampa, Jacksonville, Pensacola
and New Orleans.

 If the present owners of the hospital are not prepared to oper- ate the hospital it isn't likely they would find fault with that, for We know that every Christian or ganization is as deeply concerned over the physical welfare of peo- pie as of their spiritual welfare and in this case where the good and development of so large a community is involved first con- sideration should be for the. com mon good.

But We go farther We believe something must be done NOW, not in the vague and indistinet future.

 The hospital costs, roughly a. round $500 a month to maintain with a minimum of three nurses and superintendent. As far as We can learn, it never has been much of paying proposition, perhaps because of the frequent change in superintendents In days gone by it always had the late, benevolent Bishop Rowe. who, we know dug deeply into his own pocket many times to pull the hospital out of the Sed.
