| Park Central Tenants
|To Fight Rent Raise
Before Control Board

The newly formed Tenants Co
operative Association, representing
occupants of the 320-unit Park Gen.
trail apartment house, 1900 F street
NV, will fight proposed rent in
creases, ranging from Is to 27 per
cent, before the District Rent Con-
troll Board week from today, Of
ficials revealed.
The tenants said that Morris
Cafritz, large real estate operator
here, has asked for rent raises above
the Is per cent set by the National
Association of Real Estate Boards.
They expressed fear that if Mr..
Cafritz's request is allowed it will
be the forerunner of similar moves
by other landlords in Washington
and will set the pattern for a gen.
eral raise.
e. r. Haigler, attorney for the
association, said that more than
half of the tenants have joined the
association and that some contribu-
tions have been received from rent
ers outside the Park Central.
John j. Motley, chairman of the
Greater Washington Area Council
of the American Veterans Commit
tee, a resident of the building, who
is handling publicity for the asso-
citation, said that residents of the
Park Central include Rear Admiral
Richard E. Byrd and Representative
Murray, Democrat, of Tennessee.
Mr.. Motley explained that the
Rent Control Board had sent ten
ants registered letters notifying
them of the Cafritz proposal. The
owner contends that increased oper-
ating costs and additional capital
expenditures make the raise neces-
sary, tenants said.

Army. Decision
On Asking Draft
Due This Week
Request to Resume
lnductions in Month
Is Believed Likely
BY the Assoeioted Press

An Army decision is expected this
week on whether to resume the
draft in January after two-Month
holiday. Manpower advisers are re-
ported to favor resumption.
Officials said recommendation
are in the hands of Secretary Patter-
sof1 and Gen. Eisenhower. Chief Of
Staff, awaiting action.
Those advisers favoring a call on
selective service for a quota next
month are understood to contend
it would encourage as well as sup
plement volunteer recruiting.
latest reports show volunteer re-
cruiting took an upward turn in
the third week OF November after
declining steadily for more than q
month. Recruits, including regu-
lars who re-enlisted or extended
shorter terms of service to three
years, totaled 5,006, compared with
4,444 the previous week.
But for the entire month a total
of only about 10000 was expected,
representing little more than half the
$1,000 monthly figure fixed by the
War Department as minimum re-
Quirement of the Regular Army.
1t was to determine the recruiting
trend that the draft decision has
been postponed since the October
quota of $4,000 was Unexpectedly
Cancelled, when on half filed, along
with the November quota of 5000.
Selective service was informed then
that there would be no more calls for
men from the War Department at
least until after the years end.
The action was laid to temporary
state of Army overstrength which
has since been reduced by discharges
1t left selective service with back
log of qualified registrants between
10 and 25 that was considered ample
to meet renewed monthly calls of
$4,000 during the first quarter of
1947. ..
officials are giving no hint whether
the Army will ask extension of the
draft beyond March 81.

Fire Destroys Home
Formerly Owned by
David Lawrence

A three-alarm fire this morning
destroyed, the interior of an un-
occupied 20-room home at 1890
Nebraska avenue NV. which for
merly belonged to David Lawrence
newspaper colunflist. Damage was
estimated. at $50, 600.
The fire in the two-story Spanish
type mansion was believed to have
started in the boiler room from an
oil heater.
The blaze was discovered about
8:45 am. by Ensign William Clark,
who is. attached to the Naval Com
munications Center across the
street. He called the fire depart
snent and then, with Specialist 1ic
Thomas Buckingham, attempted to
fight the fire with extinguishers.
About 80 pieces of equipment re-
sponded as it became apparent that
the flames were making progress
The Navy center's fire department
assisted in fighting the flames at
first, then stood by as the mass OF
equipment arrived from the Dis
trict Fire Department.
The fire was brought under con-
troll about one and a half hours
after the first alarm.
M. D. Middleton of the Madana
Realty Co., which .owns the house
said it was valued at $100, 900.
He said the house was built in 1926
for Mr.. Lawrence. In 1943 the real
estate company bought it from Mr.
Lawrence. For the past three years
various tenants have lived there
the last moving out in the summer,
Mr. Middleton said.
The oil heater in the boiler room
was left running SO the house would
be warm for showing to prospective
buyers, Mr.. Middleton explained. He
said it had been inspected last

| Strike Prevents
| Steel Buying
For Auto Tous

Roland M. Brennan, District pur-
chasing officer, said today that the
coal strike has kept the city from
buying steel necessary to manufac-
ture l948 automobile license plates.
Three weeks ago the District adj
vertised for competitive bids on
about 275,00o pounds of sheet steel
for the tags, Mr.. Brennan said. The
bids were to have been opened to-
day, but there were none, he added.
He said the city has enough metal
to make the small clip plates to be
used during the next license year
beginning April l. But there is no
steel on hand to make new, ful-size
plates for the license year following,
he pointed out. MIR. Brennan said
the city would advertise again after
the first Of the year, provided the
strike situation looks better"

Jions at 81 to 85 cents a pound.
While the wholesale figures would

cents were reported although, in
most places, it was said to be closer

First of a Series. J

First of Series.)
The biggest Christmas shopping
splurge since the dim days before
the war is now on, despite the effects
of the coal strike, certain scarcitfes
which persist and generally high
prices.
The jolly spirit of the season,
which survived the hardest days Of
the war and has outshone many a
dark era of the past, is triumphing
over whatever handicaps have been
thrown across the remaining days
of 1916.
The stores are thronged, even if
the decree of John L. Lewis has
darkened dazzling window displays.
The merchants have ordered the
largest stocks since prewar Christ
masses; in some instances, larger
than ever before. People are buying
and buying, even ..4lough, quite
often, they have - pay great deal
more than last year.
Showcases Are Dimmed Out.
The coal strike is reflected not
only in dinnmed-out windows, but
at inside showcases, which lack their
usual brilliance, in the toy depart
ments. Electric trains. back in guam
tity this year for the first time since
1941, were highballing it up the main
tracks merrily until the miners
walked out. Now they are still as
painted railroads. But they're SELL
ing. Many another electric device is
mot being demonstrated in action.
because juice must be saved and
coal conserved.
But Christmas, after all, is a festi-
val for children, however much
adults may horn in. And children,
especially the younger. ones, who
count most this time of year, don't
worry over strikes and their effects,
economic complexities or troubles in
production.
They are finding plenty of toys to
look at, and they viii discover some
at the foot of the Christmas tree
which they could not have found in
recent years.
IrlcycieS Are Back.
Tricycles and velocipedes are back
in limited quantity. There are some
bicycles, not many. But these metal
Istandbys of the kids have returned
for the first time since the war, even
if the supply won't stretch too far.
There are other things back which
the youngest children can't even re-
member.
A glimpse at the general picture
shows also some adult gifts which
have been out of circulation for
several years.
Leather goods are back in a big
way. There is. plenty of luggage.
Leather hangbags are on the coun-
ters in quantity. Such things as
lounging slippers can be had in real
leather instead Of some wartime
