Joe Louis himself into tip
top physical condition after such
a long iay-off. Notice that they
are not going to even have a tune
up fight or two like all fighters do
after three or four months lay
off. It's been more than three
years with these boys!
Next Friday is fight time again
at the Auditorium, and tn t
will be somethin'. AS never
in local history have | seen such
a good drawing card. =. The fight
fans buy tickets. Not to see a
fight. They come mainly to
see Jackie Graves. They ask
no questions who his opponent is
or what chance he has or that the
fight may only go a round or two.
. . That doesn't worry them. =. &.
Just so they see Jackie Graves. . ..
1t seems as though Jackie Is on
everybody's MUST list, and If you
haven't seen this boy in action,
then you're not up with the Jones'.
The Graves VS.. Pedro Hernandez
bout will attract more than 5000
fans according to Harry Hirsch,
who is in charge of the tickets.
E. Pedro will arrive in town Mon
day, and will work out at Potts
gymnasium. Graves will be in
town Sunday. &. If you will take
this little tip, go up to Potts gym
nasium, and for a 25-cent invest
ment you can take irf some fancy
boxing.
The Buzz Brown VS.. Lou Flyer
bout ought to be terrific; if it's
one-half as good as their last meet
ing, it'll still be terrific.

who says that initiation has passed

that the gross receipts will be close
to $5,000,000 with motion pictures,

bands which would like to get
ahead, but-well-"no can do" AS
you mothers and you fathers prob
ably know, among the best Negro
bandsmen were cats like Chick
Webb, who, although handicapped
by a severe physical affliction, was
a splendid drummer who really and
truly started from the bottom. Per
haps you remember when he played
with the Dixieland band. Some Of
his top men were cats like Johnny
Hodges, Dukes man; Bobby Starks
(sweet trumpet, Benny Garter,
and Elmer Williams.
And our mothers and fathers
were doing the mad "Llndy,' to
their heebie jeebies. That was
about the time Ella Fitzgerald be-
came one Of Chicks outstanding
performers.
Take Cab, for instance. He was
a young law student who dis
covered he had musical talent and
developed it. His is one Of the
few bands that has Travelled to
Europe and been constantly on top.
It all goes to show that if you
love music and are sincere, you can
be certain Of success, If you stick
to it hard-long--and repeatedly.
You have a good chance to get on
top, but if may say so, the music
game is a good game while the
band is good. After that, it is best
to, well, shall we say Take 1t
easy?" Say, kittens with mittens
can't really paw, and can hepsters
without music be satisfied? Nav!
Saturday, the Wheatley band
played, and was it ever fine! The
music was fine, and we were at our
peak-for there will be dances
every week. Some of the cats there
who were not quite in the upper
teens were: Carl 1.-THE great Robin
son, Cobie (hickie), the jiver, Jane
1.-THE great dancer) Stone, Mary
Kate (also fine dancer), Margaret
(the sweet) Stewart, Betty King
and Jackie Cuff.
Let's all hope that Bonnie Jones,
Albert's fine sister, wins the beauty
contest for the Aquatennial queen.
She Is so fine. Coraway, Rickie
and Francis Logan seem to have
some interest in the nOrthside can
teen.
1t seems the well-known sax
blower, Bobby Bannarn, is one Of
North Highs most promising
boxers. After beating one Of his
men, he has only six more fights
before championship. which will be
easy. | am sure Richard Randall
Is also another boxer up at North,
and he can really go. Leave us
dig the mad quiz of the week! Are
you? Will you? Can you? II

OPA's intention. 1t said was to
issue pricing orders fixing uniform
profit margins on contractors serv-
ices late in July.
The day before. Mr.. Henry wrote
subcontractor members of the asso-
citation it was his opinion that
OPA's plan "to limit the margin of
profit without setting a price ceiling
on the resulting product is not with
IN the present powers of OPA."
Sees Harmful Effects.
Further" Mr.. Henry said. 81
urged that even if OPA has such
power, its use in the residential field
without enforcement in the CONNER
cial, industrial and governmental
construction fields. would result in
immediate and fatal disruption of
the veterans housing program.
Because Of these harmful effects
upon home building without the
slightest benefit. I am advising our
builder members that it would be
against their best interests to CO.
operate with OPA in this matter and
that our contractor and subcontrac-
tor members should require the
showing by OPA of clear authority
to obtain the desired data before
releasing their books and records
for examination.
by so doing, it may we'll be that
We will have avoided some very un-
necessary confusion and further
harmful delay in our efforts to build

D. c. Fight on Pricing Survey
Promised if OPA Is Revived
By Robert J. Lewis

The Home Builders Association
of Metropolitan Washington, repre-
senting major builders and contrac-
tors in this area. will renew a fight
against a District OPA construction
pricing survey in the event the Ma
tional OPA is revived by Congress.
That was disclosed today by Err
nest F.. Henry, executive director of
the home builders group, who said
he had challenged the authority
of OPA to conduct the survey the
day before OPA announced last
week it had been started.
Vincent A. Holmes, District OPA
director, said today OPA had clear
authority to conduct the survey,
but that he could make no state
ment at this time.
Not Allowed to Speak.
"OPA field officials are under in
structions not to discuss OPA mat
ters now that the agency has ex-
PRED he said. Il would like to go
into this, but I'm not allowed to do
so since members of Congress pro-
tested against statements by OPA
employees"
Three days before expiration of
OPA, the District Office announced
that "a major first STEP in OPA S
program to establish ceiling prices
on home construction costs had been
taken with the beginning of city
wide survey of prevailing prices on
construction services.
The office said the survey was "to
pave the way for establishment OF
trade margins that are fair anC
equitable to ALL"

Patio Type Of House
With Big WindowArea
Winning Public Favor
By W. Wodsworth Wood

The patio-planned or "U' shaped
house is popular because it affords
more window area and, hence,
brings more light into the interior.
The house is a standard patio type,
with the large glassWall area in the
living room and the covered entry
and hall between kitchen and
garage. Full-length glass doors in
stead of windows open out from the
two bedrooms. The bath room is
compartmented. There is work
room along one side of the garage
The whole plan follows the trend
toward complete separation of
living and sleeping quarters.
A basement is optional in this type
of house, because the work room off
the garage can be used as a utility
room to house the heating plant
and domestic hot-water boiler. If
a basement is desired, it may be
just large enough for mechanical
equipment or extended to include a
play room and laundry.
All patio houses have the dis
tinct advantage of offering what
may be called an outdoor living
room. In this particular plan there
is unusual opportunity for outdoor
dining or sun bathing outside your
bedroom door. The planting inside
the enclosure can be brought up to
any height desired for greater pri-
vacy.

Water Line Rust
Prevented by Godget
Easily Installed
By HiIson Munsey

Water pipes, usually made of iron,
will gradually rust and choke up
if something is not done to prevent
it. This rust will also discolor the
water and when present in the
water supply, it will stain clothing
This ruSting also takes place in the
water tank and the heater coils.
All this can be prevented by the
use of a simple and inexpensive at
tachment installed in the water line
and filled with chemical that will
prevent corrosion. 1t will also dis
courage the formation of lime de-
posits which take place in districts
where the water is particularly hard.
The attachment will hold about
pound of the chemical which must
be covered with water. This grad
ually dissolves the chemical at the
rate of a quarter of a pound a
month. This loss should be replaced
each month for best results. The
refill is sold in two different sizes
of cartons. One has four month
supply and the larger size will take
care of the refilling for seven
months. This quantity is based on
the average supply of water for a
single family which is about 5000
gallons for all purposes.
The chemical is quite harmless
and will not make the water un-
pleasant for drinking purposes. If
more than the average amount of
water is used, it will be necessary
to refill the attachment more
frequently. BY controlling the for
nation of rust and lime deposits,
the water supply will be maintained
at full pressure and sluggishness
eliminated.
Basement Floor Paint.
The problem of painting the floor
of the basement with a paint that
will hold is always present. The
trouble is due, of course, to damp
ness There is a paint specially de-
signed to overcome the damage
that moisture will cause. 1t is made
from synthetic gums and is not
only damp-proof but is also immune
to effects of lime in the cement
which is another prolific cause of
damage to basement floor paint. 1t
can be applied over new. green ce-
ment with excellent results. The
paint will also resist the effects of
alkalies. 1t is made in four different
colors.
In applying, ordinary precautions
must be taken. The floor must be
perfectly clean and free from OIL
grease and wax. This can be done
by using a strong cleanser or lye.
Any old paint on the cement must
be removed with an alkaline re-
mover or with lye. Then the floor
must be etched with a weak solu-
ton of muriatic acid: a 20eo solu-
! ton will do. When the surface is
thoroughly dry, apply the first coat
of the paint according to the
manufacturer directions. After this
has been allowed to dry for "a hours,
the second coat is put on. If the
cellar is damp and humid. the
period between coats may be as
much as six days A gallon will
cover about 300 square feet of sur
face.

Continuance Of Wage
Levels Urged During
Break in Controls

Arthur D. Hill, jr.. chairman Of
the Labor Departments Wage Ad-
justment Board, which is RESPONSE
BILE for stabilization of wage rates
in the building and construction in
dustry, yesterday urged labor End
management to preserve the eX St
ing wage structures" pending the
outcome of current legislative moves
on price control legislation.
The boards authority to stabilize
wages as an agent of the Wage Sta
bilization Board ended with the ex-
piration of the OPA and Wage Sta
bilization Act June 80
In identical letters to the presi-
dents of Building and Construction
Trades Unions and heads of en-
ployers' groups throughout the coun-
try" Mr.. Hill said:
ut is my personal opinion that
wage and price controls will shortly
be restored by Congress, and while
it is possible to adjust wage rates
at this time, feel that much more
would be accomplished if this were
delayed until it can be definitely
established as to whether or not
wage and price controls are re-
sumed
I'm some cases. wage adjustments
made during this period might fall
within the standards established by
the board in the event that wage
controls are restored. and no harm
would result from such action.
In many cases, however, they
will not. and I know that you fully
appreciate the difficulties which
would be encountered in attempting
to roll back wages which had been
increased during this period to a
point beyond the adjustments per-
missible under the standards in ef-
feet in the event that wage controls
are restored
Il shall appreciate whatever ef-
forts you may be able to exert in
preserving existing wage structures.
1t is most essential that both man.
agement and labor should pursue q
cautious course at this time"
