ATOM PRIZE FIGHT

It happened at the Louis-Conn fight Bernie Baruch had ordered solid row of what were described as ringside seats for his guests. His guests turned out to be mem bers of the United Nations Atomic Commission, all fight experts in their own right
 After Joe Louis disposed of Billy Conn for the night, Baruch leaned over to Russian delegate Andrei Gromyko and Australia's hard-hit- ting Herbert Evatt.
 Well, that's the end of the fight he explained. When the referee waves his hands like that he has decided that the fight is oyer"
 Do you mean" asked Russian delegate Gromyko," that his deci- sion is final?"
 Right" replied Australia's Evatt. ~This is one place you can't exercise the veto power" M

FRIENDLY RIVALS

If the above sounded like need ling, that's exactly what it was meant to be. Evatt is the best needler in the United Nations. And, surprising as it may seem, Gromyko doesn't mind it. Nothing delights Gromyko more than to outsmart Evatt, though he rarely gets chance.
 At the LIN. Security Council meeting the other day, Gromyko and Evatt crossed foils again. La ter, Evatt good naturedly complain ed to the French delegate Parodi that Gromyko was the toughest customer he had come up against in the who'e United States.
 That's nothing" Gromyko shot back, you're the toughest guy I've met in the whole world, and I've met lot of tough ones"
 The Evatt-G Gromyko battle of wits has developed some of the shrewdest manipulating any recent international conference has seen. Gromyko IS sly as fox. At meet lngs, Evatt never takes his eyes off him. The Australian is now chair man of the Atomic Commission, and the other day, Arkady Sobolov, the Russian Assistant Secretary General called Evatt on the phone and asked that he recognize Grom- yko as the first speaker at next days Atomic Commission meeting.
 I'll think it oyer," Evatt said.
 But protested Sobolov, "Grom- yko wrote you letter asking to be recognized first and the rules pro- vide that the man who asks first be called first"
 "Oh no,' Evatt shot back. the rules provide that the delegate who raises his hand first on the floor be called first. Besides, I want to show old Gromyko he's not the only one who has the veto power. Yesterday he vetoed our decision on Franco. So tomorrow I think I'll veto him when he asks to speak first"
 Next day, Gromyko, who had all ready released his prepared speech to the press, twisted and squirmed for fear Evatt wouldn't call on him. Finally. after ignoring him for nearly an hour, Evatt suddenly turned, caught Gromyko by sur prise, and asked him to speak.

by the customary method of draw

mind anything but the music and
acrobats which interferred with his

He explained the acrobats are
other students. taking physical ed
ucation courses, who exercise in a

the university band, which prac-
tices in the armory.
But I'm glad We found place

Despite the inconvenience, the
800 veterans with no place to call
home but a bunk in the armory are
glad to be in school.
Walter Claypoole, 81, of Balti-

ever, they could let those freshmen

District parents and teachers must
build better public behavior among
school children, the opening session
OF the 1916 Leaders Conference of
the District of Columbia Congress of
Parents and Teachers was told today
Mrs. Mildred S. Percy, first vice
president and conference director,

Superintendent Hobart M. Corning
in which he asked school officers to
cooperate with parents and teachers
in eliminating the childish and OBJ
noxious exhibitions of a few students
who bring discredit upon the school
and community" Mr. Corning had
reference to boisterous and noisy
pupils on streetcars and buses.
Two Main Purposes.
Mrs. Percy told more than $50 Of
ficers, chairmen and representatives
of the II local parent-teacher groups
meeting at the Adams School that
the congress has these two main
purposes:
l. Furnishing information to the
local units on how to do parent
teacher work, and
2. Inspiring the locals to greater
efforts with respect to child welfare
"The Congress is not just another
woman's club" Mrs. Percy declared
with the reminder that it Is the
only group entirely devoted to child
welfare"
I'VE must be leaders, not follow
ers," she asserted, because we know
the children more intimately thar
any one else"
Mrs. Percy asked the locals te
submit ideas as to the parent con.
gress so that there will be an "up-
ward flow" of thought within the
organization.

Finds Scant Evidence
OF Black Market Meat

Despite the present meat shortage
no appreciable amount Of black mar.
ket meet is being sold In the Dis
trict, ]. Thomas Kennedy, superin-
tendent of weights, measures and
markets, said today.
Mr.. Kennedy said that an investi-
cation made by his staff two weeks
ago on the general food condition
of the city turned up no black mar
het sales in meat, and that currently
his buyers around town had de-
tached little If any such transac-
tions.
His findings were submitted tc
the Commissioners several days age
but were not made public until to-
day. In general the report indicated
favorable supplies Of chicken
canned goods, baked products ano
fair supply Of eggs.
Although the fish market at the
time of the investigation coulG
hardly be termed fair" Mr.. Ken

had considerably improved IN thls

Mr.. Kennedy said that although
the meat situation here is mot
good" there may be some supplies ir
nearby county markets because
State-inspected meat slaughtered
locally could be brought as far a.

Federally-inspected meat can be
sent across State lines.

Custer Of Wyatt
Veteran Housing
Program Caused
Long Controversy
By Robert J. Lewis

Washington home builders today
called for the immediate dissolu-
ton" Of the National Housing
Agency and dismissal of Housing
Expediter Wilson w. Wyatt in an
action which climaxed a long
drawn-out controversy involving the
Governments veterans housing
program.
The demand came on the eve of a
national meeting of directors and
members of the Executive Commit
tee of the National Association of
Home Builders, which opens in the
Hotel Statler tomorrow and which
will continue next week.
The national sessions are expected
to review the entire relationship be-
tween the building industry and
Government agencies involved in
the housing program.
District area builders, at meet
ing yesterday, also went on record
demanding abolition of price con-
trolls over building materials, and
that the Governments housing eff
forts be turned over to the Federal
Housing Administration headed by
Raymond M. Foley.
Called "Disma1 Failure"
Assailing what they termed "the
dismal failure" of the housing pro-
gram, local builders based their de-
mand for Mr.. Wyatt's dismissal on
''his lack of action in using his
broad powers to expedite material
for veterans housing, his debasing
of priorities held by builders in IA
vor of higher priorities to public
housing and his dereliction of duty
as veterans housing expediter in
spending the greater part of his
time promoting the long-range
Wagner Ellender- Taft BILL
The stand taken by local builders
was at variance with that of the ma
tional association, which indorsed
the Wyatt program and has never
withdrawn that support.
A spokesman for the national as
scciation said today he did not ex-
pect the forthcoming meeting here
to request dismissal of Mr.. Wyatt
or removal of price and other con-
trolls.
Fear Some One Worse.
"In fact" the spokesman said,
while we are critical of Mr.. Wyatt
in the same way the local associa-
ton is, we feel that if he were dis
missed we might get some one
worse"
Rather than to remove controls,
the spokeman said, a building ma
terials report which will be pre-
sented at the national directors
meeting, will request that more
stringent action be taken to chan
mel certain materials to veterans
housing.
Arguing that MIA is in the hands
of inexperienced officials, local
builders declared FHA could take
over MIA duties and do a better
job.
"FHA is already issuing priorities,
estimating costs and inspecting
construction for the veterans pro-
gram" today's statement said.
"FHAs record in the past has been
one of outstanding success in con-
trast to MAS record, owing to its
being stated with highly expert
enced, Well-uualified personnel"
