Mr.. and Mrs. William S. Henry
of Chelsea, Mass, returned to
Washington yesterday for the 50th
consecutive year in nearly 60 years
of married life.
Mr.. Henry, 81, and Mrs. Henry
81, are staying at the Willard Ho-

this trip. But the octogenarian
"honeymooners" expect to be back
in the fall to celebrate their Goth
wedding anniversary.
The first of the Henrys' semi
annual visits to the Nations Capt.
tai was in 1886, on the occasion OF
their marriage. Mr.. Henry hao

always agreed that the scene OF
Lincolns greatest days was the
place for their honeymoon. Hell

Dental suite.

one thing.
There you could see important
people, from the President on down
going around examining cabbages
or onions and chatting with the
vendors" Mr.. Henry recalls.

Hoey TO Sift Delay
On Young Nomination

An inquiry into reasons for con-
tinued delay in action on the nomi-
nation of Commissioner John Rus
sell Young for a third term in Office
was planned last night by Senator
Hoey, Democrat, of North Carolina
who is temporarily serving as chair
man of the Senate District Com
mittee.
The committee approved the
nomination but the favorable re-
port was held up a month ago al
the request of Senator Johnston
Democrat, of South Carolina, who
said he had received some COM
plants he wanted to investigate
Senator Johnston said last night
he had nothing yet to report. He
has declined to say who made the
complaints or what they were.
Senator Hoey, who voted to con-
firm the nomination, said he woulC
talk to the South Carolinian anC
ask him what the situation was. He
added, however, he did not plan tt
press for action if Senator Johnston
needed more time for his study.
MIR. Young's present term has ex-
pired. but under the law District
Commissioner may serve until his
successor is named and qualified.

The lawn mower shortage, cited by
critics of the OPA as an example
of how regulation has discouraged
full production, may improve soon,
it appeared likely today, but not
in time to help the mower-less
homeowner this season.
In response to inquiries by The
Star on April 10, the OPA said it
had under study an industry wide
price increase to old-line mower
manufacturers. Today it was
learned the agency is about to grant
them an approximate 10 per cent
price increase in hand mowers.
The price adjustment, it is under
stood, will apply only to prewar
manufacturers and not the new
makers who already have a favor
able price ceiling.
The increase will be passed on to
retailers, who, in turn, will be per-
mitted to charge the extra price to
their customers.
Retailers expressed doubts, how
ever, on whether the OPA action
would allow manufacturers enough
time to get into high production to
meet the huge demands from home
owners this summer.
Big Backlog of Orders.
Many District hardware stores
have reported tremendous backlogs
of orders, with only a dribble of
mowers coming here so far this

Fort Washington Price Pleas
Association Officer
Says 1870 May Show
Need of Increase

The District OPA was prepared
today to receive applications from
Washington restaurant operators for
individual price relief.
Restaurateurs concerned over in
creased overhead growing out of
wage increases and food prices rises
made it clear at meeting of the
Washington Restaurant Association
last night that their problems are
increasing, even with an end to food
rationing.
May Affect Is Per Cent.
Robert j. Wilson, executive secre-
tary of the group, estimated that
between 10 and Is per cent of the
1900 eating places in the Metro
politan area may have to seek relief
This would result in higher prices
on menus.
He predicted that in a matter OF
weeks, rolls will be non-existent here
as a result of the Is per cent reduc-
ton in flour use by bakers.
1t developed that soma bakeries
here have halted sale of rolls selling
for IL cents a dozen wholesale
and are making only 16-cent rolls
Mr.. Wilson observed that at the
present rate there may be no use
to worry about 12-cent rolls"
No Covering Regulation.
Mrs. Jean Putnam, head of the
local OPA's restaurant and service
trades section, admitted there was
no regulation to forbid bakers elm
mating low-end products. Replying
to specific instances for food price
rises, Mrs. Putnam maintained that
most food prices have been held al
about April, 1943, levels, when meals
in restaurants were frozen"
Mr.. Wilson said he hoped those
establishments which have not yet
instituted conservation measures
suggested by the Famine Emerg.
ency Committee would soon fall ir
line"
About 200 persons attended the
meeting held in the Washington
Gas Light Co. auditorium.

Wilkinson Asks Data
On Dunbar Stadium
And Pool Defects

An extensive report on "criminally
dangerous" pool and stadium condi-
tions, recently protested by colored
high school physical education
teachers, has been requested by their
superior, DR.. Garnet C. Wilkinson,
assistant superintendent.
DR.. Wilkinson said he believed the
colored teachers had a proper COM
plant against defects" in the one
stadium and pool open to them at
Dunbar High School. But he said
it had been ''pointless" for the teach
ers to write letter of protest to all
Board of Education members and
officials after the stadium and pool
already have been withdrawn from
public use until September for re-
pairs.
Stadium Soil Protested.
The teachers, headed by Charles
L. Pinderhughes, president of the
Interscholastic Coaches Association,
said they would refuse" to let their
students use the facilities during the
spring baseball and track season.
The main protest against the sta
dium, DR.. Wilkinson said, is that the
top soil has worn thin and students
might injure themselves on bricks
and stones underlying the field.
The pool water has been contami-
mated by tar melted from between
its tiles by the heat from a furnace
directly below, DR.. Wilkinson said,
but the pool is being retiled.
Hits Equipment.
Mr.. Pinderhughes also protested
against poor seating arrangements
in the stands, lack of permanent
baseball backstop, poor sprinkling
system, bad surface on the tennis
court, no storage space, lack of hur-
dies and pole vault standards and
inadequate dressing facilities.
The pool defects he mentioned
specifically were lack of diving
boards, poor cutters and drains, no
lockers, benches or mirrors and in
adequate showers.
DR.. Wilkinson said he would sub
nit full report to the Board of Ed
ucation at its meeting at $3.50 pm.

Pay Boost Hinges
On Fare Increase

Three weary Federal concilia-
tors today resumed the task of
seeking to end strike that has
halted commuter bus service in
parts of Arlington and Fairfax
Counties the past five days.
Howard T. Colvin, assistant direc-
tor of the United States Cancellation
Service, said well have to force
this thing to climax somehow to-
day."
just as eager for a settlement
were the equally tired committees

For Is hours yesterday they
plugged away at breaking the dead
lock responsible for keeping $50 bus
employees off the job and incon-
veniencing $4,000 persons aceus-
toned to riding the Arnold-operated
buses to work or school.
At 2 am. they called it a day and
departed from the Labor Depart
ment agreed on meeting again at
l pm. today.
The controversy is an intricate
one, involving not only wage in
creases, but basic contractual prin-
ciples arising from the company's
termination of the present contract
to escape what it calls the unions
attempt for perpetual arbitration"
Chief barrier to submitting the
case to arbitration is the company's
lnslstence that any wage increase
| should be based on fare increases
granted by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and the unions de-
mand for the raises to be effective
May 13.
Both sides have been generous
in praising Federal conciliators who
have succeeded in arranging Joint
conferences. Yesteday C. M. Mills,
third arbitrator, entered the case.

recently was responsible for settling

Even though an agreement
should come from today's sessions it
is doubtful whether the green buses
would start rolling from Arlington
and other nearby Virginia points
before tomorrow. The busmen first
must meet and vote a return to
work, even though their officers
should recommend it.

today because of the strike. About
