Dupont Group Hears
OF Housing Need

The average veteran does moi
want to come from foxhole te
live with mother law, but tha,
is just what the housing shortage
In the District is forcing him to do
Mrs. Helen Duey Hoffman, execu.
tive director of the Washington
Housing Association, told members
of the Dupont Circle Citizens AS
sociation last night at the May
flower Hotel.
"The shortage of dwelling units
is serious and more than $4,000 re-
turning veterans will want homes
that they will not find," she con-
tinued.
Mrs. Hoffman Endorsed several
bills in Congress now which would
help the situation somewhat-a bill
to permit insurance companies to
build low cost developments, an
other to- provide low cost housing
and measure setting up standards
for tenement houses. An open
forum followed her speech.
The association opposed any lift
ing of restrictions in the number OF
class A liquor licenses in the Dis
trict. The group instructed William
Clark Taylor to attend a Commits
sioners hearing on the question
January 16 and present its views.
Traffic lights were requested fol-
the following locations on motion
by Mrs. Charles Collins: Eighteenth
and P streets NV, New Hampshire
and Twenty-first street NV, New
Hampshire and Twentieth street
NV, and Connecticut and Twen-
tieth street NV.
President Hugh Miller presided
at the meeting.

By HARRY MacARTHIJR.

Recently there have come to the
attention of this department reports
that seem to indicate that owners
of after dark resorts are brothers
under the skin and none is to be
held strictly accountable. There
probably is something dark, damp
and insidious in the night air which
soaks into the blood stream, sending
slight urge toward eccentricity
through the nervous system. A
small amount of research probably
could produce many more, but to-
day we give you only two case his
tories.
l. Down in the southwest section
of the town there is one of those
bar-and-grill affairs where the
liquor is as raw as the temper of
one of the mattresses if you indicate
hunger for anything more extensive
than a cheese sandwich. There are
many of them, as matter of fact,
in all parts OF the city, but this
particular one is notable for its
proprietor, carefree man whose
reactions to certain normal situa-
tions have become reversed. Most
bar-and-grill owners shudder at
even the thought of a difference of
opinion, because in the night such
things lead to fisticuffs and fisti-
cuffs lead to unorganized mayhem
involving everybody handy. Well,
the man we heard about does not
groan with anguish when a good
battle starts on his premises. He
just runs outside, locks the door
and watches happily through the
window, roaring with glee as the
battlers break up his tables and
chairs and rip his booths apart to
arm themselves with clubs. Makes
this man unhappy, too, if some one
thoughtleSsly summons the gen.
darmerie to put stop to the COM
motion.
2. Our specimen here is the owner
of one of the plushier bistros in the
village, a sleek and polished rendez-
vouS where the elite meet to eat
some of the best food around The
chef is one of the ADLER victuals-
tossers and he sets a fine table. The
owner even eats there, but one re-
cent night he thought he wasn't
hungry and decided to wander
around the downtown streets for
awhile. Well. he got half block
before a sandwich stand tempted
him and he wound up eating four
hot dog sandwiches for dinner. Now
he's afraid he has lost his taste for
all that fine, rich food he sells.

With the holidays now part of the
past, this ought to be a proper time
to delve into that mail that has been
kicking around the Office. There
are some notes about the after-dark
entertainment scene which ought to
be passed along.
First, there is word that Eddie
Chase, freshly out of the Navy, is
the new leader of the Sidney or

replacing Dick Gardner. Mr.. G.,

Fascism In US. Is Growing, Says Wright Patman
Says Carroll Reece and Rep. Brown Use Hitler,
 Goebbels Tactics

WASHINGTON LPA) = Fla. scism, operating under the guise of fighting communism, is creeping into United States life, Rep. Wright Patman O., Texas) stated last week in a radio speech. Patman made special mention of Frank Cannett, newspaper publisher and founder of the Committee for Con. stitutional Government because of the activities of this Committee and Cannetts influence in Republican Party circles.
 Patman contended that such Re publican Party leaders as Carroll Reece and Rep. Clarence Brown (R., Ohio) are "stooping to the 1ow1y technique employed by Hitler, Goeb- bels, and Musso1ini for SO long , Patman also pointed out the coinci- dence that these Republican Party leaders have never uttered a word against American fascism.
 Cannett in 1936, called together a group of wealthy New Workers and had proposed to them that they establish an organization to spread propaganda on a mass scale following the Hitlerian line," Pat. man asserted, (which was consist.

Dewey, governor of New York, Patman charged.

Fascism, according to Patman, is a greater menace to the U. s. than communism because its roots are so much more firmly planted by great wealth. He called on Congress to use the same diligence to combat it that 1t uses against Communism.

America Firsters
 In The Forefront

Washington (LPA) = Two openly-avowed reactionary-right- ist political action committees came to light this week for the stated purpose of counteractlng the activities of liberals in and out of the labor movement.
 The Lineup
 American Action, Inc, the more powerful group, is headed by Ed. ward A. Hayes, former national commander of the American Legion and list of sponsors which in- cludes Gen. Robert A. Wood, head of Sears, ROebuck x Co.,, and for mer head of America First; Ernest T. Weir, chairman of the board of Weirton Steel Co.,; Col. Robert R. Mccormick, publisher of the reac- tionary Chicago Tribune; Lamont duPOnt, director of E. I. duPOnt deNemours & Co.,; Upton Close, reactionary radio commentator Me-.sin K. Hart, a reputed Fascist, and W. Homer Hartz, former presi- dent of the Illinois Assn of Manu- facturers.
 The Life Insurance Policy holders Protective Assn, the second of the two groups, raised the cry that life insurance policies are in danger, and started campaign to raise $163,25O for the defeat of Democratic candi- dates for Congress.
 American Action, with reports varying as to the amount of money at its disposal, was planning to concen- trate on electoral contests which ap- peared to be close in about 20 or 30 Congressional districts in New York, Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, Wiscon- sin, Washington and California. The organization was also reputed to have the names of 17 Congressmen on its purge list. The organization plans to work through veterans organizations, using reactionary and 'name-calling technique to smear those they oppose.
 The Life Insurance Policyhold- CTS Protective Organization also has the aim of defeating the liberal "domination." They claim, in their literature, that the value of life in- surance policies has dropped 39% in the last few years because "our national government adopted much of the socialistic legislation and gov ernmental policies advocated by the CIO-PAC." The Ietterhead of the organization consists of names

Sen. Pappy O'Daniel O., Tex.) and God had a falling-out last week, O'Daniel's senatorial coL leagues agreed. At the end of one of his three-hour speeches against price controls O'Daniels beloved. ''NOthing can save us from a re- vived OPA but God himself. I do not see for the life of me, Mir. Pres ident, why God would want to save us from that fate in view of the way Congress acts. I hope SO. I pray that He will provide some means whereby this law will never be re-enacted!" Commented one Congressman after the OPA bill had passed: Somebody behind the pearly gates realized that if O'Dan- iel had his way you couldn't buy a secondhand harp for less than $5OOO."

More Apprentices In Construction

Washington, D. C.-Increasing at the rate of 8.9 percent in one month the number of apprentices in the building trades rose to 67,387 at the end of August. This latest official figure was announced by William F Patterson, Director of the Apprentice Training Service, U. s. Department of Labor.
 Patterson declared that the continu- ous increase of apprentices in the construction industry not only will swell the skilled work force needed for home building after they have finished their training, but that they will accelerate the Veterans Emerg ency Housing Program and other current building.
 The greatest increase was registered in the trowel trades, which showed an increase from 7,059 to 8,077 for a gain of IA percent during August.

PAY RAISE IN STOCKINGS

PHILADELPHIA (LPA) = A 121zc wage increase and a 70c mini mum was won without a single day of lost work by 2,000 members of the American Federation of Hosiery Workers through an arbitration award last week. The award, covering the Guild Hosiery Conference, an associa- ton of IA mills in New York City and Philadelphia, brought total wage in creases to 181ac since VJ-Day. The AFHW has a closed shop with the Conference and the 12Hc pay hike was won as a result of wage re- opening clause in the contract.
