the Senate District Committee pur-
sues its plan for a Federal appro-
priation of $72 500 to prevent erec-
ton of an apartment house at Six
teenth and Shepherd streets NV.
by buying the site for park pur-
poses.
Tentative approval was given yes.
terday by the District Committee
by vote of to 4, to a bill to settle
in this way the long legal battle over
the zoning Of the Upper Sixteenth
street tract, but some members still
were in doubt about the policy and
the threat Of a precedent that may
later haunt the committee.
However, Chairman Bilbo Of the
Senate District Committee said to-
day he was satisfied a majority OF
the committee will approve the plan
and that a favorable report will be
authorized Monday.
His prediction is supported by the
reactions of two doubtful" members
who yesterday visited the site-Sen-
ators Smith, Republican, Of New
Jersey, and Saltonstall. Republican
of Massachusetts, both newcomer
to Washington. They told report
ers they were inclined to go along
with senior members Of the commit
tee who have studied the issue. But
both still indicated they were con.
cerned over the proposal to appro.
pirate Government funds to buy
additional park land as means OF
settling zoning dispute.
ODaniel Continues Opposition.
Senator ODaniel, Democrat, OF
Texas, declined an invitation to in
spect the site, saying he was and
would continue to be opposed to the
proposed appropriation as matter
Of principle.

War Dad Says He Lost
Train Seat 10 POW
BY the Associated Press,

! PETERSBURG, Va, Feb. o.
Remmie l.. Arnold, president Of
American War Dads, said yesterday
he had been promised by Senator
Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia that .
full investigation would be made
of an incident in which a train
drawing room reservation aIlegedly
was taken away from him CMr. Ar
nold) and given to German pris-
oner of war
Mr.. Arnold said he had received
Ia letter from the Senator in reply
to his complaint about the incident,
which he said occurred January 26
as he was arriving at Indianapolis,
en- route to Kansas City to attend
Ia meeting of the National Council
|of American War Dads.
Mr.. Arnold, whose son is in an
antiaircraft unit overseas, said he
told Senator Byrd how he was
asked to give up to the Army q
drawing room on the train, which
he had taken because he was i'll
with cold.
The American War Dads presi-
dent said before he could get out
of the room two military police en-
tered with a German prisoner Of
war. One of the MPs, he said, told
him he thought" the German was
sick. Later, Mr.. Arnold said, the
prisoner had dinner in the dining
car and one soldier said that the
German was very interested in
and was flirting with the girls who
walked up and down the aisle"
Regulations Are Explained.
War Department officials said
regulations demand that all neces-
sary precautions for security be
taken in transporting prisoners.
They said the degree of security
is left to the officer in charge Of
the prisoner. A prisoner is usually

For Radio Listeners

While anticipating the jsys Of ar
ultramechanical postwar world, let.
look into the crystal ball and set
what the future of radio will be once
the peacetime factory wheels start
rolling again.
A recent survey estimates that
during the f1rst five years after total
victory Americans will buy 100, ,000,-
900 new radios and that the prefer
ence in most cases will be for COM
bination radio-phonograph models
Frequency modulation broadcastine
(static-free, full fidelity radio) will
become the established thing. Nine
ty-one million sets is the number
the FIN corporations expect to sell
in the first five postwar years.
Interest in television, of course, is
high. While no figures are available
on the predicted volume of receivers
To be manufactured and sold, the
costs of such receivers have been
estimated. Prices will range from
$3.50 for small model to $3.50 for
de luxe receivers with FM radios
attached.
So, now that you know, start
budgeting for your first purchase.

The not-So-new program is Muriel
Evans. This blonde columnist OF
the air, whose Monday-through-

Hollywood actress. She would be in
pictures today but for the fact that
there is a Mr." in the background,
"a local advertising man, whose
nearness means more to Muriel than
a film career.
The gal whose first movie job was
as a target for custard pie and
who progressed to leads in such
films as Manhattan Melodrama"

she will return to Hollywood, as
they all do, but not at the cost of a

< Word On Duplication
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 Testifying in favor of the merger of Army and Navy Robert P Patterson Secretary of War, based his argument largely the economies to be expected from the elimination of duplication. He referred to the fact that Army and Navy maintain duplicate depots hospitals, arfields and repair shops right here in Washington"
 While there are some sound arguments for merg ing the two armed services too much should not be expected of it. Especially in respect to economies, there is a great deal of misleading argument and wshful thinking It is quite true that the services maintain duplicate facilities in many places. But it also is true that the War Department alone has many duplicating facilities
 On the Island of Guam, the Navy has had three hospitals and the Army two There is still another for the civil population, operated by Army and Navy personnel. It is more practical to have several modest hospitals than one immense hospital The Army and Navy have their own airfelds at many places, close by one another. It does not follow that they can be consolidated. It is more practical to have fgher airfield separate from bomber transport field, in many cases.
 In certain activities, such as procurement ot personnel and materials, all possible overlapping should be eliminated In their intelligence activities, the Army and Navy should work together closely, to avoid costly duplication. But the economies to be achieved by merging the services will be very small And the benefits of unified command be achieved by intelligent and willing cooperation, was done in the field during the This holds true whether the services are merged not

Secretary of War Patterson-I ap- preciate your letter defending Maj. Gen. Stephen G. Henry and his job of demobilization. This was typical of your fine and constant loyalty to the men around you. However, I regret that I cannot agree that Gen. eHndy did a good job of de- mobilization. For years Gen. Henry was 1amlnarly known ln the Resu- lar Army as its greatest mechanic, an absolute authority on gasoline engines and automotive mechanics. Many pay tribute to his work in setting up the Gunnery and Me- chanical School at Fort Knox, Ky, at the beginning of the present emergency, especially his develop ment of mechanism for firing from moving turretS. He was always much more at home in overalls with monkey wrench in his hand, and in my opinion it was a mistake for the late Gen. Pa" Watson to persuade his chief, the late Presi- dent Roosevelt, to have him put in charge of Army personnel - the greatest personnel show the world has ever seen. I am convinced that the snarled demobilization program is one of the results.

Watchdog of the Treasury

 Half a century ago had near neghbor in Judge Holman who lived in our delightful suburb of Aurora, Ind. He had national reputation as the Watchdog of the Treasury. When it came to spend- ing money he had to be shown. He would take the budget send for the chiefs of departments and point accusing finger at their request for money. The astounding thing that often than not he able to cut budgets in two. No item of expense however small escaped his eagle eye. The people ot Indiana liked MT Holman, for they returned him tarm after term to Congress. Unfortunately in the course of time he gathered to his fathers.
 Well for the country it would be if a gracious Providence had extended MT. Holman's life and that he alive today. What he would do with the swollen departments in Washington would be plenty. He would find 50 men employed when only 10 are needed He would find Congressmen themselves pending money like water various junketng trips. In fact he would find such wdness in the matter of spending money that he would lack words to de- scribe such extravaganza. But he would know how to rabuke it. The spenders would flee from wrath Ahi We rem nber history repeats itself Maybe it re- p-at In givng ns another Watchdog of the Treasury.

HOROSCOPE 'The stars incline
 but do not compeP'
WEDNESDAY,, NOVEMBER 21

Adverse planetary aspects doml- nate today but Jupiter is in benetlc sway. It is promising configura- tion for merchandising.
 HEART AND HOME
 AS incomes shrink or cease in many families of war workers the tendency to expect the worse will be strong but the stars seems to presage brief periods of unemploy- ment. The seers stress the impor- tance of courage, patience and op- timism for women of all ages.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Until after the holidays trade will be good. Although there may be a short depression or at least dimin- ished prosperity, five years of amaz- ing good fortune are forecast for all.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Despite criticism of the President and his policies, the people will con- tinue to support the Chief Executice. Partisan prejudices again will cause misunderStandingS, especially re- garding the pattern of postwar foreign activities.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Canada continues under the most promising signs which seem to pre- sage expansion of trade and in- crease in population. The Dominion will attract many from Australia and Britain.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of eXtraordi- nary experiences, some exceedingly challenging. Good fortune will follow persistent effort.
 Children born on this day probably will be complex in character and brilliant in mental endowment. They must be carefully educated.
