|Ex-Marine Charges
IConviction for Debts
Owed by 'Namesake'

A Marine, who was court-martialed
for debt evasion and given a bad
conduct discharge nine years ago,
yesterday told a Naval Board of Re-
view he had been a victim of mis-
taken identity and asked reinState-
ment in the Marine Corps.
Former T/Sergt. James Alfred
Harris, 36-year old Navy Yard work
er, now living at 539 Ninth street
NV, declared his alleged bad debts
were those of another James Alfred
Harris. He told the board he had
been served with a summons for a
divorce hearing intended for the
other man and that he had been
sued by several Washington firms on
debts contracted by the other Harris.
Orin de Motto Walker, the ex-
Marines attorney, produced an affi-
davit, signed by the other Harris,
acknowledging the S612o debt for
which Mr.. Harris was court-mar-
tailed.
In 1889 Mr.. Harris asked the Navy
Judge Advocate Generals office to
review his conviction, according to
Mr.. Walker, but was told the case
was closed. He only recently learned
that the GI Bill of Rights provides
recourse for dishonorably discharged
servicemen who wish to appeal for
clean records on the strength of new
evidence.
Records revealed that Mr.. Harris
served two previous enlistments with
excellent character ratings and had
no black marks on his record until
he was brought before a court-mar-
tial board in Quantico, Va, on
charges of failure to pay a grocery
bill. Mr.. Walker argued that a man
with an exemplary record would not
have jeopardized his position over a
small debt.
The board of review, set I'D by
the CT bill for former servicemen
who desire to appeal discharges,
has the power only to make recon-
mendations. Findings will be re-
ported to the Secretary of the Navy
for action.

Hotel Strike Threat
IAverted as Factions
Reach Agreement

Washington will have no hotel
strike to complicate the problem
of bedding and FEEDING the thou
sands of transients who arrive daily
Representatives of the hotels and
of four unions of service workers,
including bartenders, walters, kitch-
en- workers, bellboys, elevator opera
tors and chambermaids, came to an
agreement yesterday on wages and
conditions of employment to be
written into a new contract.
The old agreement expired Octo-
ber l and when negotiations for
a new one snagged over vacations
and other clauses, representatives of
the workers threatened strike.
Wage boosts of 10 to 20 per cent
have been agreed on. According to
Joseph C. McGarraghy, counsel for
the hotels, and Samuel Levine,
counsel for the unions, the provi-
sions agreed on include these:
Wages of bartenders will be in
creased from a minimum of $46 to
a minimum of $50 week.
All non-tipped employees will be
given wage boosts of 5 cents an hour
except pot washers, icemen and
cooks, who will get 71a cents an hour
more. This will raise the minimum
for. the non-tipped employees from
so to SIS cents an hour.
Bellboys will be raised from $3.50
to $3.50 for the 48-hour week which
prevails in hotels except for laun-
dry workers who put in only A
hours.
Split shifts. which the union
sought to eliminate, will be narrowed
in the case of walters, mattresses and
bus help. Their eight-hour day must
be worked within 10 hours instead of
within II as formerly. Kitchen help
will continue to work eight hours in
split shifts within IL hours, but their
daily premium for this will be in
creased from 80 to 60 cents.
Under the old contract workers
accumulated one-half day month
vacation up to one year of service
andthen one day per month up to a
vacation Of IL days a year. The new
contract will provide for three days
vacation after six months of service,
six days after year. seven days
after two years, eight days after
three years, nine days after four
years and II days thereafter.
The old contract provided that the
10 per cent service charge on ban
quets be divided two-thirds among
the walters and one-third for the
other employees who serviced the
banquet. The new contract gives
the walters rs per cent. The union
had asked that the walters get all,
charging that the hotel banquet Of
fees were not in the habit of dis
tributing all of the one-third to
banquet employees other than walters.

FUND.-.
@. Why should I subscribe TO the
Community War Fund If I do not
approve of some of the member
agencies?
A. Because the Community War
Fund is the vehicle through which
people contribute to the agencies
they do want to help, leaving the
same privilege to others who may
have totally different interests. II
direct gifts are made to War Fund
agency, they decrease the appropria-
ton needed to meet that agency's
budget.

benefit from their services?

munity are affected by it's conditions
II health conditions are bad, epi-
denies result If poverty is neg
lected, crime may result. II children

ton, delinquency may follow.

From Overseas, Hunt DWELLING

Five Washington brothers, all of

Morris Wolfe, the second veteran
in his family to be discharged, told
The Star yesterday he came back
from Europe to find that the home
his family has rented for the past
IA years has been sold and a 30
day eviction notice served.
"Of course, we probably will get
an extension-but what to do after
that is the problem" he said.
When he first learned the home
at 1851 street NE was to be sold,
Mr.. Wolfe spent his entire 45-day
furlough prior to his discharge look
ing for another house. But 1t Just
doesn't seem to be any use," he
went on. And with the other three
brothers ready to be discharged and
expected home soon, the veteran
