Donald was killed in Germany, 1t.
Warren H. MacDonald's wife learned
he was missing in action, and George

Coffee Would Expand
Legal Activities Of
People s Counsel

Chairman Coffee of the District
Appropriations Subcommittee of the
House said today he was considering
means of expanding the legal ac-
tivities Of the peoples counsel be-
fore the Public Utilities Commission
and that he personally was willing
to approve any reasonable" addi-
tion to that official's staff.
What I am seeking is to give
the best possible service to District
consumers generally without, OF
course. setting up free legal counsel
to an individual who may want to
push his own interests without re-
gard to the taxpayers" Mr.. Coffee
said.
Single Task Under Law.
Under present law the peoples
counsel-a post now held by James
w. Lauderdale, a former assistant
corporation counsel-is charged only
with the task of representing the
public in matters before the District
Public Utilities Commission.
Mr.. Coffee, who was instrumental
in filling this post after 1t had
been vacant for some years, called
for a detailed report on the work
of the encumbent, and expressed
the thought the peoples counsel
should be given more assistants
For some months, Mr.. Lauderdale
has been devoting his time to the
electric power rate case.
Because of his title, If for no
other reason" said Mr.. Coffee, "the
peoples counsel receives many ap-
peals for service in many fields other
than cases before the PUG.
Holds Service Needed,
II believe there is service there
that should be rendered. OF course
the city cannot and should not be
expected to provide free counsel for
all and every person, and we can
not expect the peoples counsel to
be an expert in all phases of COM
plicated modern law.
And we would not want to dupli-
cate the work of the office of Cor
poration Counsel of the District, but
I would be willing to grant some
reasonable additions to the staff
of the peoples counsel SO he could
better answer requests he now re-
ceives from the public"

Now let's have no five talk and
II anybody jumps during the panel
discussion they're going to be pat
out. This is little group Of serious
thinkers discussing jazz. the time
Is last night and the place is David
Porter's Art Gallery In G place NV.
These people aren't ickies.
They're hep all right-they're INTEL
lectuals and they are quicker At
spotting the schmalz than any. cat
on the prowl.
Nesuhi Ertegun, son of the re-
Gently deceased Turkish Ambassa-
dor, is leading the talk on the New
Orleans beginnings OF jazz.
He has lost interest In the
stringed ut and the reedy zurna,
the instruments of the gael or folk
music Of his native land. Have no
doubts as to the authenticity of
these Turkish terms! They come
from a diplomatic source, usually
reliable. He gave me the names
himself.
Youthful Mr.. Ertegun became in
terested in jazz in London and Paris
when his father had diplomatic
posts in those capitals. Arriving in
America he hastened to New Or
leans to explore Rampant street,
where Louis Armstrong once drove
a coal cart.
Coal Cart Blues.
Haven't you heard of Goal Cart
Blues?" Mr.. Ertegun plays the
record-a valued platter among col
lectors.
The combination radio sends out
the famous Armstrong trumpet
notes and then Louis begins sing
ing the refrain. q
At this point the chairman, Ster-
ling A. Brown, colored, professor OF
English literature at Howard Uni
versity, makes contribution that
jangles the symbol on his watch
chain, Phi Beta Kappa key (Wil-
liams, 1920.
There is legend" he says,
that the gravelly quality in Louis
voice when he sings his base notes
was caused by the coal dust"
The little room that is the art
gallery is filled with a mixed audi
ence. All of them have paid 50 to
attend this series of four discus
sions. This is the first one.
Story of How In Jazz.
Mr.. Ertegun tells the story of how
jazz came out of New Orleans, how
a white orchestra known as the
Original Dixieland Jazz Band came
North in 1917 with the New Orleans
style of music, got an engagement
in Reisenweber's Restaurant in New
York and made jazz, played Tiger
Rag and other numbers and jazz
swept the Nation.

Temperature Of is
IS Forecast Here
Tomorrow Morning

washington and East Coast
States shivered in the coldest
weather OF the winter today as
the thermometer here dropped to
II degrees, the lowest in nearly
two years. A 15-degree low was
predicted for early tomorrow.
Sweeping down from Canada and
the Great Lakes, frigid air was borne
into washington by a high wind.
New York bore the brunt of the
severe cold wave, with temperatures
as low as 80 below zero, while its
fringes extended south into Mary
land and the District.
The Weather Bureau said it would
be at least another "a hours before
the cold snap would break.
Following on the heels of a near
blizzard in Northern New York
State. the cold front moved in with
galelike winds which whipped the
snow into drifts, blocking many
secondary roads and disrupting
transportation services.
Cowlesville, N. Y, reported the
mercury at minus 80, while a minus
14.5 reading at Syracuse set a new
record there for this date. Buffalo's
z below mark was the lowest for this
date In go years.
-Four deaths were attributed to
weather conditions in the upper part
OF the State. Bus schedules were
Cancelled in Buffalo, Rochester and
Syracuse. Hundreds of thousands
of workers were late for their Jobs
in New York City, where the cold
blast crippled subway operation.
The coldest day of winter gripped
the portion of Maryland east of the
Allegheny Mountains. Temperatures
In the mountain sections ranged
from 3 to below. Baltimore re-
ported IL above. -
Sunny but continued cold and
windy was the forecast here for to-
day. After the anticipated Is low
tomorrow, the weather will begin
warming up, the forecaster said.
The forecaster admitted he missed
calling this mornings low by 10 or
IL degrees. The north wind during
yesterday was stronger and lasted
longer, he explained, thus bringing
in more cold air than was expected.
He pointed out that the average
miss" in forecasting temperatures
was to degrees.
Today's low was recorded at 7:55
am. The previous low of the winter
was 16 on December "a. The last

Public Parking Area
Plan Is Supported by
Silver Spring Group

Establishment of public parking
areas for the Silver Spring business
district, a proposal being studied by
the Montgomery County Postwar

mittee, was indorsed last night by

viso, however, that any plans for

tated at various times as solution
for the parking problem.

baugh, hee marshal, told of plans

flre alarm system in Montgomery
County. They said Silver Spring
already has an adequate system
similar to the proposed plan. Con-
tending the central alarm system
would impose an additional tax on
residents of the Metropolitan Area,
they asked the Board of Trade to
oppose the plan.
The matter was referred to the
boards Civic Affairs Committee for
investigation and report.
