ODT Appeals For Car and
Tire Conservation

In an appeal to passenger car
owners to conserve their automo-
biles, Col. J. Monroe Johnson, Di-
rector of the Office of Defense
Transportation, warned that it will
be at least three years before many
millions of private car owners and
prospective car owners who want
new automobiles will be able to
get them. Colonel Johnson said this
fact has not been generally realiz-
ed in the first rosy flush of enthu-
siasm over the resumption of pas
senger car production" Although
it is expected that 100000 passen-
ger cars will be built this year,
Colonel johnson commented that
this number will replace less than
one percent of the Nations auto
mobiles. They'll go, instead, to
the most essential drivers-doctors,
police, taxi drivers, war workers,
and others. And they will be short
far short-of meeting the needs
of these fields"
Pointing out that foundation of a
good recapped tire is good cas-
ing, the Office of Defense Trans
portation outlined rules for the
care of tire castings before and af-
ter recapping. Proper care of the
original casing, ODT said, is most
important because of the produc-
ton of complete castings is the real
bottleneck in the flow of tires to
users. The rubber tread of a tire
does not add greatly to the strength
of the casing but does cushion the
fabric against damage or minor ir-
regularities of the road. Tires that
have not been abused by overload
ing, over-spreading, low air press
ure, or damaged by running over
curbs or sharp obstacles in the road
will be suitable for recapping.

Bilbo 10 Ask Rezoninq
Unless FILA Holds Up
Low-Cost Project

Chairman Bilbo of the Senate
District Committee yesterday served
notice on the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration that unless it acted to
hold up priorities for a low cost"
housing project planned by private
builder for the Woodbridge area he
would sponsor legislation ito pro-
tect" the area by rezoning the site.
His action was in response to Pc
titions filed by she Committee on
Homes of the Greater Woodbridge
Area, including members of the
Burroughs and Rhode Island Ave-
nue. Citizens Associations. A week
ago, similar move to block the
development was instituted by
Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee.
The projected development in the
5000 block of Seventeenth place
NE. would be adjacent to the Taft
Junior High School, the Franciscan
Monastery and the Holy Name Col
lege. The citizens committee said
the construction cost of each of
the 10 houses was estimated at
$500. which they contended is far
less than the values of existing
homes in the community.
Writes FHA Commission.
Senator Bilbo wrote to FHA
Commissioner Abner H. Ferguson:
Il recently contacted your local of
fee by letter regarding the request
of the citizens group and have not
as yet received a reply regarding
the priorities proposed to be issued.
Il, therefore, request that you
Immediately look into the matter
and ascertain whether or not these
priorities can be held up until the
matter can be worked out satisfac-
torily.
IF not. propose to introduce
legislation to rezone this property
to protect the residents of the above
referred to districts"
Issue Raised May !.
The issue was placed before Sem
ator Bilbo May 7 by John J. Dom
nelly, .jr., attorney for the Greater

who wrote that its chairman, Will
liam I. Peeler, was a registered voter
in Mississippi. Mr.. Peeler "and per-
haps 10000 other Mississippi Peel
ers," he said, appreciated aid given
them by the Senator's secretary
Edward P. Terry.
Mr.. Donnelly filed with Senator
Bilbo petition of protest signed by
205 residents of the Woodbridge area
"to demonstrate the unanimity of

sidered action of the FHA in grant,

Randolph Pledges Aid
II Change Is Needed
In Baby Broker Law

A promise of cooperation in any
necessary amendment of the Dis
trict's baby broker" law was given
yesterday by Chairman Randolph of
the House District Committee in
letter to John j. Carmody, president
OF the District Bar Association.
While referring to protests
against some features of the law
voiced, at last weeks meeting of
the bar group, Mr.. Randolph pointed
out that the baby broker" legisla-
ton was pending before Congress
for more than two years and that
public hearings were held during
both the 77th and 18th Congresses.
Attorney Jean M. Boardman had
told the bar association the law was
"the most asinine piece of legisla-
ton on any statute books" Mr..
Randolph commented that its enact
ment had been recommended by
many groups as a means of ending
a racket" in sale of babies for adop-
ton.
In order that the Bar Association
may be familiar" with the back
ground of the legislation, Mr.. Ran
dolph told Mr.. Carmody he was for
warding his copies of the hearings
held in the previous two years. Also,
he said he had talked with Corpora
tion Counsel Richmond B. Keech,
who had expressed willingness to
meet with Bar Association spokes-
man on suggested amendments.
The question also came up at yes
terday's hearings before the District
Appropriations Subcommittee of the
House where Mrs. Thomas F. Nor
ton of the Council of Social Agencies
contended criticisms of the law were
unfounded. Mrs. Norton urged
funds for employment of four more
case workers for welfare agencies to
speed handling of adoption cases.
Since unlicensed baby broker
age" now is outlawed, she said, the
number of adoption cases passing
through official channels has greatly
increased.
The Boardman protest had been
directed at feature of the law re-
quiring that copy of an adoption
decree be filed with the Health De-
partment Bureau Of Vital Statistics.
