The red faces at Gravelly Point
today belong to the meteorologists
of the Army Air Forces Weather

They forecast clear for their own
picnic yesterday. AS a result, they
sent more than 100 employees of the

1t started to rain about 20 minutes
before the group left. Col. D. N.
Yates, in charge of the Office, said:
Its always good joke when the
weather men get rain on their picnic.
This was a long-range forecast orig
inally, but we committed ourselves
"a hours in advance by deciding to
go on our forecast of rain during
the night, clearing during the day.
would you like to talk to the
man who made the forecast? He is
Maj. R. j. Rounds. His extension
is 3544."
One of Maj. Rounds assistant
meteorologists answered the tele-
phone and said:
Hes just left for the picnic-or
maybe he's left town."

70 Ga||inger Nurses,
FCA Return Provided
In Bill Passing Senate

The $63 ,263 $50 second deficiency
bill is on its way to conference with
the House today, after passing the
Senate late yesterday with several
amendments of interest to Wash
ington.
The Senate adopted without op-
position the following items that
were not in the House version:
For the immediate hiring of 20
additional nurses at Gallinger Hos
pital for the remainder of this
fiscal year, $1,000.
To bring 400 employees OF the Farm
Credit Administration back to
Washington from Kansas City, Mo-,
$295 ,020.
Expands Water Facilities.
For expansion of local sewer and
water facilities, largely to provide
for new housing developments,
s575 900.
For the erection of a statue of
George Washington on the Capitol
grounds, S25, 1000.
The House is in Easter recess un-
til Tuesday, at which time it prob
ably will appoint conferees to ne
gotiate with the Senate on these
additions to the bill.
When the House acted on the de-
f1ciency bill a month ago it cut
from 1888 900 to 100000 budget
estimate for bringing back to Wash
ington scattered Government bu-
reaus that were moved to other
cities during the war emergency.
This left little more than enough
to pay the final cost of returning
the Patent Office force from Rich
mond, Va.
FCA Space Needed.
Some of the FCA employees al
ready have been brought back, and
the Senate committee was impressed
with the desirability of completing
that transfer. The space used by
FCA in Kansas City is needed by
the Veterans Administration. Con-
gress also has been informed that
the housing situation is even more
acute in Kansas City than it is here.
Although the total of the def
cheney bill as passed by the Senate
is far less than the $233, ,157 ,293 ap-
proved by the House, the reduction
lis owing largely to the fact that
funds for increased Government
pay costs were transferred from
this bill to separate resolution and
passed last week,

US. Waits Pau|ey Findings
On Lootinq Of Manchuria

The United States was relying to-
day on forthcoming inspection
tri2 to Manchuria and Korea by
Edwin w. Pauley, President Tru-
mans reparations commissioner, to
provide the answer to numerous
questions about reports that the
Soviet Army has stripped those
areas of industrial equipment.
Acting Secretary of State Acheson
told a news conference yesterday
that note received this week from
Moscow did not answer the questions
asked by this Government several
weeks ago.
While the Russian note did not
close the doors to further discus
sions, he said, the most likely way
to deal with the issue now seems
to be for Mr.. Pauley to go into it
In more detail on his trip than
can be done in exchanges of diplo-
matte communications.
Mr.. Acheson said this Govern
ment had no assurance but does
have hopes that Mr.. Pauley will
have no difficulty getting into zones
under Soviet occupation.

Biggest Nail Shortage
Since War Started
Reported by Dealers

One shortage after another bobs
up to plague the home building
program. If it's not lumber, it's
bathtubs, or furnaces or another of
many items in tight supply. Latest
headache is the growing shortage
of nails.
A check among hardware dealers
in the District area today disclosed
that the nail supply is lower than
at any time since the war began.
Nor is the prospect bright for the
immediate future.
Sources started to dry up about
the time the steel strike got under
way and never have gotten back even
to the wartime normal. The current
soft coal strike, if prolonged, is said
to be bound to further hamper
production.
Gets Small Percentage of Needs.
A spokesman 1or one of the city's
largest dealers said the firm was
not getting a tenth of its needs.
During the war we could count
on a regular supply every quarter
through War Production Board allo-
cations" he said. To-day we get q
carload every once in a while"
In wartime, the firm received
about six carloads a month. For a
time after the war ended shipments
had reached eight carloads a month.
"Now we're lucky to get one a
month";" the spokesman added.
Shortage of All Sizes.
This firm, and all others checked,
said the most acute shortage was in
the "eight-penny common" nail.
though there is a shortage of all
sizes.
Asked about the nail supply, an
official of another firm said ex-
plosively:
Its tough!"
He added that in the 20 years he's
been in the hardware business in
Washington, nails have never been
so hard to get.
Two Carloads This Year.
This dealer said he had received a
carload two weeks ago, the second
so far this year.
A third large dealer said he had
received a carload yesterday and
another Monday. They were the
first we had for six weeks" he ex-
planned. He said he had had to
limit sales to "just few kegs at
time"
Civilian Production Administra-
ton sources indicated that estimates
OF the nail requirements of all con-
sumers for 1916 total $50 900 tons, as
against estimated supplies of 600,-
900 tons.

| 200 Rats Killed

Aroused by rats which scurried
through their rear premises at will,
16 workers in garages and other
property in the 1900 block of L street

John S. MacAvoy, manager of the
VFW Chevron Club and the Club
Embassy, former professional rat
eXterminator, and John B. Long,

one by kneeling on it with his arti-
fetal limb.
According to Mr.. Long, the boys in
the block were complaining of sore
muscles today.
