Ickes Pressure Seen
AS Police Merger
Hearing Is Put Off

Reports that Interior Secretary
Ickes had brought pressure to bear"
to block committee action were cir
culated on Capitol Hill yesterday
after scheduled hearings on the bill
to merge the park police Of the Dis
trict with the metropolitan police
were postponed indefinitely.
The reports were doubted in some
quarters and given credence in
others, with still other sources COM.
menting that If Mr.. Ickes had not
had used pressure" he probably
was pleased anyway, because he had
opposed the move to end park police
operations in the District.
Representative Mcmillan, Demo-
crat, of South Carolina, chairman
of the Police and Fire Subcommittee
of the House District Committee,
had planned to open hearings to-
morrow morning on the bill of
Representative Hebert, Democrat, of
Louisiana to merge the two police
forces so far as the District was con-
cerned.
Yesterday, Mr.. Mcmillan said the
hearings were postponed. He said
this was done at the request of
Corporation Counsel Richmond B.
Keech, who reported the Commis-
sioners had asked for more time for
study. Mr.. Mcmillan said he had
not heard reports about pressure"
or that the White House had asked
for delay.
Elsewhere, it was reported Mr..
Ickes had taken his case to the
White House, but that this was not
recently.
The author of the bill, Mr.. Hebert,
brushed the whole question aside by
declaring:
Hearings will be held later, of
that am sure. I am leaving Wash
ington for congressional work in the
West for about a week, anyway.
IF this bill is killed, it will be
killed by a congressional committee
or by Congress, but not by Mr..
Tckes"

Educators Ask Delay
On Postwar Traininq
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Twelve university presidents have
asked President Roosevelt to delay
consideration of the highly con-
troversial question" of universal
postwar military training "at least
until complete victory over Germany
is achieved"
1--WE suggest that experience with
the prohibition amendment indicates
the unwisdom of attempting to de-
termine long-run revolutionary poll
cies in wartime" they said in let
ter made public today.
Noting in the letter, dated jan
uary "a, that President Roosevelt
had told Congress he was convinced
Of the necessity for universal train
ing after the war and intended to
send special message dealing with
the subject, the educators said:
"A continuing program of public
education as to the requirements OF
national defense is certainly in or
der; but we challenge the necessity
OF urging the American people to act
under the tensions of war psychology
in order to bring them to a decision
which, it is said, they would not
reach under more normal condi-
tions."

Rutland Proposes
Sx-Point Program
For Rabies Control

Pointing out there have been g
rabid dogs found in the District dur.
ing the last three months and q
persons bitten, Health Officer George
c. Ruhland has recommended to the
Commissioners a six-point rabies
control program, including annual
vaccination Of all dogs ''as a pre-
requisite to obtaining licenses"
TIE recommendations of DR.. Rub
Land have been referred to the cor
poratlon counsel's Office for study
DR.. Rutland also has suggested that
all dogs be quarantined or kept on
q leash, that no dogs be redeemed
from the pound until vaccinated or
until proof Of vaccination is pre-
sented, that the price of redemption
OF dogs at the pound be increased,
that the personnel of the pound
service be increased and that alter
nate hours for patrolling of dogs by
the poundmaster's Office be estab-
lished.
DR.. Rutland made no specific rec
ommendation on what the redemp-
ton price-now $2-should be or
how many should be added to the
poundmaster's staff. In urging
alternate hours for the staff, the
health officer said that STRAY and
unmuzzled dogs are usually found on
the streets in the early morning
hours or In the evening""
A letter to the Commissioners
from the District Veterinary Medical
Association also urged annual vac
cination for all licensed dogs against
rabies as prerequisite to obtaining
a license" and in addition called for
systematic collection and dis

posal OF all stray and ownerless
dogs"
The association in its letter de-
clared:
"The veterinary profession Is In
harmony and accord regarding its
attitude toward the value Of the an
nual rabies vaccination Of dogs.
However, it does not advocate vac
cination to the exclusion Of the other
necessary regulations and recognized
methods Of control. - Quite to the
contrary, 1t is of the opinion that If
there Is failure to destroy all stray
and ownerless dogs and to license all
others Systematically, there would
continue to be considerable rabies in
the area, possibly bringing discredit
upon the vaccination procedure"
DR.. Rutland also urged renewal Of
the rabies proclamation, which was
last issued by the Commissioners on
November 2 for a three month pc
Rod. It requires impounding Of any
dog found at large and unmuzzled.

scarcely ever use it any more, but
it's good to know it's ready in case

There's a woman l admire. Her

a wonderful business, and Mrs.

But in addition they figure the plan

In other words. General Motors,
by making more cars and trucks at
a price people can afford to pay, will
bring more sales and service bust

Good care will get the most wear
out of that washing machine that
has been taking such hard use of
late and probably can't be replaced
for sometime to come. Have regular
check-ups for possible loose bolts
and screws; don't overload the mo-
tor; be sure that the machine and
wringer are well washed and rinSed
after using, before putting it away,
and when not in use keep the ma
chine covered. with waterproof
cloth if possible, to avoid damage
from dirt and moisture.
Informative labels on garments

the benefit of the customer; study
them before buying and keep labels

they have proven satisfactory. The
labels give information about COM
