Of Barber Shops Here

Inspectors of the District Barber
Board will begin an intensive check
Monday on all barber shops here,
warning any owner who is not
sterilizing shop equipment or has a
dirty establishment.
Tony Durso, acting head of the
board, said yesterday that if a sec
ond violation is found the owner
may have his license suspended.
People have been complaining
that some shops have not been

You'd think the complaints would
be about the price, but most of them
are about unsanitary conditions"
He pointed out that the board
had nothing to do with the price
raise in haircuts, but would see
that Washington has the cleanest
and most sanitary barber shops any

For Big Celebration
Of Victory Tomorrow
BY the Associated Press


LONDON, June millions OF
visitors damned the English capital
today for tomorrow's victory cele-
bration, expected to be the greatest
show this nation has seen since the
coronation of King George vi and
Queen Elizabeth in May, 1887.
AS flags bedecked the ancient
streets, softening the scars of War,
authorities prepared to handle TO-.
O00,0 900 or more people in London
from long before dawn until far
after midnight. Masses continued
to pour in from all parts Of the king
dom, freed from their normal rou-
tine by the long Whitsuntide holi-
day.
At a cost of approximately $780,
600, the government has devised a
spectacular entertainment in official
token of the Allied triumph, Is
months after the victory in Europe.
Civilians to Join in March.
The victory will be concentrated
especially by the days first major
event-a parade of marching COL
umns and mechanical forces, led by
the royal family in a state landau,
escorted by cavalry.
To the accompaniment of martial
music, men and women of the
homeland, colorfully uniformed rep
resentatives of all parts of the en-
pire and contingents of Allied armies
will move past the huge reviewing
stand in The Mall, a wide thorough
fare between Buckingham Palace
and the Admiralty Arch.
Civilian veterans of the blitZ and
railroad men who ran trains de-
spite the Luftwaffe attacks, will
march along with those who fought
from African deserts to the wreck
age of Germany.
Over them will fly old and new
craft of the Raj, heavy bombers,
famed in the war years and jet
propelled ships, of later fame, sweep
ing low to salute the sovereign.
This victory parade show will be
pure, unauthorized swank, so let's
have plenty of it," Raj Marshal
Lord Tedder told his men.
The King, Queen and the two prin-
| cesses spent an hour and half yes
terday inspecting the temporary en-
campment of some 1000 dominion
and colonial troops in Kensington
Gardens-men from Canada, Aus
tralia, New Zealand and South
Africa, from India, Burma, Ceylon,
the Indies and from remote African
garrisons.
Three Allies Won't Participate.
Three Allied countries will not
participate in the parade-Russia,
Yugoslavia and Poland 1t was an
nounced last night that the Polish
government had notified Britain
that a Polish contingent would not
be in the march.
The greatest disappointment for
Britons Is the absence of Gen. Essen
hover, who advised Prime Minister
Attlee that pressure of work in the
United States prevented him from
accepting the governments invita-
ton to attend. The American Army
Navy and Marine Corps will be rep
resented, however, by high ranking
officers and attachments of men
numbering in all about 100.

mander of United States forces in
Europe; Admiral H. Kent Hewitt,
commander of naval forces in this
theater, and Brig. Gen. Franklin A.
Hart of the Marine Corps, head the
