900 Service Directors
will Get Discharges
Under Point System

Plans for discharge Of approxi-
mately 900 conscientious objectors
under separate point system were
announced last night by selective
service.
Selective service, which operated
the conscientious objector camps,
estimated it will take about a year,
beginning in August, to discharge
conscientious objectors who have ac-
cumulated the most points. About
10 per cent of the 1858 of the men
now in camps will be affected during
the first year.
The intention Of selective service
to start discharging conscientious
objectors on point system closely
following the Army's demobilization
plan was disclosed earlier yesterday
by The Star.
The selective service plan sets no
arbitrary number of points for dis
charge like the Armys critical score
of IS points, but men with the
highest number Of points will be dis
charged first.
The pointsfwill be credited as fol-
lows, according to the selective
service announcement:
One point for each month of serv-
ice or fraction thereof; IL points
for each child born prior to mid
night Of May II, 1945; points for

Ga||inger Held Eligible
For Cadet Nurse Aid

The controller general has ruled
that Gallinger Municipal Hospital
is eligible for funds under the Boil
ton Act for training of cadet nurses
The United States Public Health
Service had Informed the Commis-
sioners last November that since
your hospital is Federally operated
and receives its funds from the
United States Government it
may not be approved for partici-
patton" unless the Federal appro-
priation for the training of nurses
was made available for transfer and
consolidation with local appropria-
tionS.
In letter to Commissioner John
Russell Young, Controller General
Lindsay Warren said that Gallinger
was not a Federal institution and
that there is not perceived any
objection to the participation of the
said hospital in the nurses training
program under the Bolton Act on
the same basis as any other non-
Federal institution"
DR.. Daniel L. Seckinger acting
superintendent of Gallinger, said Is
to 80 cadet nurses were at the GAL

were being supported out of District

zoning Commission
Adopts Amendment
To Allow Towers

The zoning Commission yesterday
adopted an amendment to the zon-
ing regulations that would allow
television broadcasting towers in
residential districts.
The amendment provides that the
Board of Zoning Adjustment may
permit such towers provided that
the proposed location will not ad-
versly affect the use of neighboring
property and that the height of the
tower "is reasonably necessary to
render satisfactory service"
Before the board grants such per-
mission, plans must be submitted to
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission. The Zoning Ad-
visory Council had suggested that
park areas be surveyed for possible
sites, but this met bitter opposition
from Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant, III,
chairman of the NCPPL.
Eugene S. Thomas, sales manager
Of WOR, Newark-New York station,
operated by the Bamberger Broad
casting Co., said his company was
prepared to build in the District
and that it was hoped to televise
national events from the District to
New York and to send New York
entertainment programs to the Dis
trict.
Mr.. Thomas, at the hearing last
week, estimated the towers would
have to be 300 feet high, and he
promised that the studios would be
soundproofed. 1t was explained by
television experts that only four or
five towers at the most could be
built in Washington.
Other decisions of the commission
included the following:
Deferred action on removing a
number of first and second CONNER
cial areas from the Deanwood Sec
ton Of the city; granted a COM
mercial zoning for property at South
Capitol and Atlantic streets Sc;
changed from commercial to resi-
Dental property at all four corners
OF Atlantic and First streets S.E.
and at the southwest corner of
Xenia and South Capitol streets
S.W., and granted extension of COM
mercial on Alabama avenue, at the
junction Of Naylor and Good Hope
road Sc.
The commission denied rezoning
for apartment or semidetached
homes on property along the west
erly side of Eastern avenue south of
kalmia road NV. and also denied
a commercial zoning at the south
east corner of Fourteenth and Ken
nedy streets NV. for a Safeway
store and overruled a move to ex-
tend the commercial area on Wis
consin avenue between Garrison and
Harrison streets NV.

Public Welfare Board
Picks Groupto Review
D. {. Baby Broker Act

The Public Welfare Board yester-
day recommended to the Commits
sioners a group of welfare, health
and private welfare representatives
to serve on a committee to review
regulations promulgated under the
Baby Broker Act.
This step. according to Ray L.
HUH, director of welfare, is re-
quired by the act, which was re-
Gently assailed as an Jasmine" law
at a meeting of the District Bar
Association. Mr.. Huff said that
criticism of the law and regulations
undoubtedly would be considered.
Will Name Committee.
Edgar Morris, chairman of the
board, was authorized to name a
committee to review the basic
statutes controlling adoption for the
purpose of determining, whether, in
the light of the new baby broker
law, the basic laws on adoption are
lin line with the best in modern
thought"
Mr.. Morris will name a member
Of the board, member of the
Advisory Board of Juvenile Court
and three citizens to review the
laws. Those recommended to the
Commissioners to review regula-
tions included:
Mrs. Radford Moses of the board.
Mrs. Nina Trevvett, member of the
board staff: a Health Department
representative to be named, Mrs.
Theodore Peyser of the Jewish
Social Service Agency, Mrs. Florence
Murray, Catholic Charities; Mrs.
Seton Darr, st. AIMS Infant
Asylum; Mrs. r. R. Miller of Chill
drens Services, and Mrs. Fred
Wright. Children's Protective Asso-
citation.
Committee Authorized.
The board also authorized the
Institutions Committee to study the
establishment of welfare indus
tries" particularly for the Home for
the Aged and Infirm. 1t was pointed
out that 100 or so aged persons have
left the home in the past several
years and obtained wartime posi-
tions. 1t is felt, Mr.. Huff said, that
the ability of persons in these in
stitutions to work should be con-
served and the Society for the
Blind will be invited to join in the
study. i.
The Jewish Foster Home, affiliated
with the Jewish Social Service, was
recommended to the Commissioners
for licensing under the Baby Broker
Act for child placement work.
