Chicago Daily News.

Foreign correspondent OF The Star ane
Chicago Daily News.
ROME, July 12.-The weekly Gior-
male di Roma appeared on the
streets today with the first install
ment of a piratical counter diary,
obviously designed to steal the thun-
der attendant on the Forthcoming
publication in the daily newspaper I
Tempo of the authentic diary of the
late Count Galeazzo Ciano.
II Tempo, which has purchased
from the Chicago Daily News the
exclusive rights in Italy to the Cianc
diary, will publish the first install
ment of the sensational document
on Saturday. For the past two weeks
it has been advertising, by means OF
leaflets and wall posters, the forth
coming appearance of the Cianc
diary.
Several days ago this correspond
ent was told by Giornale di Roma :
editors to be on the lookout for q
sensational counter diary" written
by former diplomatic colleague OF
Ciano's, which they would publish
IN order to show Italians what q
liar Ciano was"
To judge from the first installment
of an anonymous counter diary,
however, it is but commentary or
certain installments Of the real CT.

hands of Giornale di Roma in ad.

War Department.
Gas, Tire Rationing
Board 10 Be Closed

The War Department Gasoline
Ration Board, established last month
in the Munitions Building, Twen-
tieth street and Constitution avenue
has been discontinued at the request
of the Army, the District Office OF
Price Administration said today.
OPA explained that when the
board was set up at the suggestion
of the War Department it was I'M
derstood retired Army officers would
serve as volunteer employees.
Object of the board was to CEN
tralize gasoline and tire rationing
for District civilian and Army en-
ployeS of the War Department.
Thus, considerable time was spent
in transferring records from SIS
scattered local boards to the Mu-
nitions Building Office. Approx
mately 1000 vehicles were served
by the board.
Brig. Gen. George P. Tyner, q. S.
A., retired, was installed as chair
man of the board. The Army OBJ
jected to retired officers still on the
army payrol passing on appnca-
tions, the OPA said. Gen. Tyner
previously had served as volunteer
hearing officer in the District OPA
Office.
Since it was impossible to staff
the board with civilian employees,
the OPA was forced to abandon it,
When the board was set up June Is
it was with the approval of Daniel
P. Woolley of New York, regional
administrator, who was acting upon
the request of the War Department,
the OPA said.
The procedure now will be to re-
turn the records to their original
local boards where War Department
employees will be served as before
the new board was established, OPA
said.

DC. Recreation Board
Asks S86, 500 TO Map
Plans for 50 Projects

The Recreation Board today asked
the Commissioners for $50 500 to
prepare plans for the first section
of the boards deferred development
program.
Budget Officer Walter L. Fowler
suggested that the question Of funds
for the 1947 budget be considered in
September, but this drew a quick
protest from the Recreation Board
1t was finally agreed that the
architectural plans, estimated to
cost SIS, 400, should be checked by
the Municipal Architects ONCE.
Wender Urges Appropriation.
Chairman Harry S. Wender of the
Recreation Board pleaded for sup
Elemental appropriation rather than
waiting for the 1947 budget, which
he said would delay matters year.
IF this war is over in year, as
we all are praying 1t will be, we
will still be in a muddled state if
We have no plans" he said.
Another controversy arose between
Mr.. Fowler and the board when the
budget officer said he personally
objected to large swimming pools
because they are "intolerably
crowded" Mr.. Wender replied that
the pools are now crowded because
I'VE are squeezing everybody into
a few pools"
The funds would plan develop
ments for SO units out of 100 under
the board. The immediate plans
call for S57,100 for number of
items in land improvement.
Projects Included in Plans.
The architectural plans would be
for the following projects: Gym
nasium at Palisades Recreation
Center, $4,000; inclosed swimming
pool, Randle Recreation Center,
5000, 900; inclosed swimming pool at
Taft Recreation Center, $2O0,000
outdoor swimming pool at George
town Playground, $50, 900; additional
facilities at Coolidge Recreation
Center, $4,000; inclosing existing
pool at Banneker Recreation Center,
$3.50, 900; remodeling johnson School
intercommunity building, SAC, 900,
and remodeling of existing shelters
at Parkview and New York Avenue
Fairgrounds, $4,000.
The overall cost of all the prof.
ects for which planning money is
sought has not been estimated, &C
cording to the Recreation Board.
The estimates of construction costs
are only for nine projects requiring
the architectural plans.
Believes Pools Essential.
Mr.. Wender said that he felt
swimming pools are essential and
argued that the closing of the Glen
Echo pool this summer proved that
the city could not rely entirely on
private enterprise to provide the
pools. He was strongly supported
by c. Melvin Sharpe and James E.
Schwab, members of the board. Mr..
Sharpe, who also is a member of
the Board of Education, assured the
Commissioners that the two boards
were working closely on plans so
that there would be no duplication
of effort.
Although only three new pools
are now listed in the architectural
plans, Mr.. Wender said that even
tually it was hoped to have 10 or IL
new ones at junior and senior high
schools.

More than 300 OF the SummonSeS
were issued yesterday, and it is
estimated that the number will be
larger today for those drivers who
failed to meet the July deadline
for the tax stamp purchase.
Where a summons is issued, the
auto owner is called to explain at
the Internal Revenue Office why he
has failed to comply with the stamp
tax regulation. The summons also
warns that failure to comply means
that the case will be referred to the
United States District Attorney for
appropriate action"
The revenue agents found fertile
ground for their search today in
downtown parking lots and also in
parking areas along the Mall and
around many Government buildings,

Government Employees
Under 80 Face Loss Of
Defermenfs by Sept. |
BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG.

Draft-deferred Government en-
ployes under 30, outside the War and
Navy Departments, face loss of de-
ferments by September l under
stricter instructions from the Review
Committee on Deferment of Govern
ment Employees, it was learned today
Approximately 5000 of the younger
men in Government service through
out the country, with the exception
of Army and Navy installations, now
hold occupational deferments, ac-
cording to the committee.
The War Department reported ii
now has approximately $500 de-
ferred in this age group at Army in
stallations throughout the world and
hopes to "go out Of the deferment
business at the end of this year"
Many in Skilled Work.
A War Department spokesman
said since last October no War De-
partment civilian employee under 81
has been deferred. He emphasized
that less than 100 of the men under
80 now deferred by War Depart
ment request are in Washington
The rest, he said, hold scientific
degrees or were journeymen in crit
ical skilled trades before Pear
Harhor.
The Navy Department reported
it now has somewhat less thar
13, 500 men under 80 deferred-moSt
of them in ship repair work on the
West Coast.
The Review Committee, in a mem
orandum to agency deferment COM
mittees, served notice its policy viii
be to reject any request for defer.
ment of Government employt
under rs and the same policy viii
apply to men in the 1929 age grour
unless the employee has specia
qualifications and training Of &
highly technical nature"
Deferments Near Expiration.
The Review Committee, headed by
Edgar Puryear, said that many Of
the 5000 deferred Government mer
hold short-term deferments which
are about to expire and will not
be renewed. The committee said
it hoped to eliminate all deferments
of younger men by September.
Deferments for younger Govern
ment employees already have been
more than cut In half. Selective
Service estimated that last Septem-
Der 1900 men under 80 in Govern
ment agencies outside the War and
Navy Departments held deferments
as compared with 5000 now.
The War Department had 16,T00
as compared with $500 now, and
the Navy Department had 28,800, as
compared with 1880 now. These
figures cover men who had not been
physically examined.
Explaining that further requests
for deferments of Government en-
ployes must be reduced to mini
num-" the committee said it felt
that Government departments al
ready had four years in which tt
secure and train requirements fol-
younger men.
Pointing to the large number Of
discharged veterans who soon will
be available to replace men now
holding occupational deferments, the
review committees memorandum
added:
This committee has constantly
and consistently reminded the agen-
cies of their obligation to replace
deferred employees with qualified vet
Grams, and now, with approximately
100000 veterans available, it will
be more than ever the policy of this
committee to urge it in discussing
requirements for persons whenever
any request for employee deferment
may be submitted"
