'Af Two Entrances

The Board of Public Welfare has
announced it will seek additional
deficiency appropriations totaling
1894 ,635 for improvements of serv-
ices and institutions, including $70,-
500 to increase the guard staff,
build gates and walls and meet
mounting food costs at the District
Jail.
Decision to seek the additional
funds was disclosed after meet
ing Of the board yesterday. 1t fol-
lows previous requests totaling
s737 1868 and brings the overall sum
to more than a million dollars.
In addition to the funds for the
Jail, the latest requests will pro-
vide for a hospital for the wom-
ems division at the Occoquan Work
house and Lorton Reformatory. To
the $4,000 now on hand for the
project, the board asks an addition
al $51 1855 and would like to COM
plete construction next year. The
present structure used for the pur-
pose is an old wooden shack.
Another large item is 100000
sought to meet rising costs of Dis
trict prisoners in Federal institu-
tionS.
Four items totaling $74645 are
asked to make repairs at the Re-
ceiving Home, the Home for Aged

provide electrically controlled steel

tions on the Twentieth street side
would be completed and four watch
towers built at the corners of the
grounds.
At the District budget Office 1t
was said today the requests had not
yet been received. The items COM
ing in from all departments will be
subject to especially concentrated
study now because the city is reach
ing the borderline in revenues fol
this year. Pay increases made by
the District in compliance with the
pay acts of last July have forced
the District to seek some $4,000 ,00(
in deficiency appropriations on this
! item alone.

BY ROBERT ]. LEWIS.

In a normal year, Washington's
brick-hungry construction industry
uses more than 150,0OO,oo0 common
brick. Today it's reported to be get
ting no more than a third of its
needs. Private homebuilders are
estimated to be receiving only about
SO per cent of that production.
With almost no exceptions, home
builders will cry on the nearest
shoulder over the brick shortage.
I'VE just can't find en- they tell
you.
Coupled with other shortages, the
scarcity of brick is another factor
behind inability of the home build
ing industry to step on the accelera-
tor
But the outlook appears somewhat
more promising than for some other
critical items, such as lumber On
the optimistic side is the fact that
today, five of seven prewar Wash
ington area plants are in operation.

Firms Resume Brick-Mokinq
But Iona SHORTAGE Is Forecast

Only two operated until recently.
Present output probably will be ''in-
creased substantially" by spring
brickmakers say.
Nevertheless, the shortage will
continue long after that, owing to
the piled-up demand Operators
say they can't even predict when
production will reach the prewar
level.
Because of high freight costs
much brick used here in the past has
been produced within radius of Sc
miles. Throughout the country
brick is a local product" Today
production is low everywhere Thus
the brick shortage is jam that local
management and labor will have to
break
Chief stumbling block, at the mo-
ment, brick people explain, is a
shortage of labor To the question
when will production be back tc

Golf Course Landing

C. w. Taylor, Lockhaven, Pa.
flyer, today was awaiting for the
weather to clear sufficiently so he
could take off from the Langston
Park golf course, where he landed
his small plane safely yesterday
afternoon.
Mr.. Taylor dropped down on the
golf course which borders the Ana
costa River, just off Benning road
NE, when he was forced down by
weather conditions. His first sched-
uled stop on his way to Miami was
to have been Fredericksburg, Va.
The flyer, who is sales promotion
manager for the Piper Aircraft Co.,
said he left Lockhaven in the new
Piper cub "suIercruiser" to take 1t
to the national air races, which be-
gin in Miami Tuesday. The weather
was bad all the way, he said, and
particularly so from Baltimore on.
At Washington, he was informed by
radio that planes were being allowed
to land at the National Airport on
instruments only. So he started
looking around for a place to come
down.
When he spotted the golf course,
he made the landing without diff
Guilty, he said
