FBI Seizes Youth, Is,
In Theft Of Plane
AT National Airport

The Federal Bureau of InveSti-
CATION today announced the arrest
of 16-year-old youth, one of two
who made an unsuccessful attempt
yesterday to steal a tWin-engined
airplane from National Airpora.
An FBI spokesman said the
youth lived in Maryland and that
he has been released in the custody
Of his father.
They did not say whether he was
the pilot of the plane However, a
person of 16 can be licensed as a
pilot.
Although the spokesman said it
sis too early yet" to explain the
circumstances of the attempted
theft, FBI investigators believe that
there was no intent either to sell the
plane or fly it out of the country
The pilot, airport officials said,
paid a storage bill early yesterday
on the plane-a Beechcraft owned
by the W. w. Brinckerhof Co.-and
said it belonged to his father.
While attempting to take off, ac-

wheel locked, causing the plane to
nose over and tearing off the right
engine.
The pilot and the other occupant
Of the plane, neither of whom was
injured, left the plane and made
their way past the airport guards,
explaining they were going to report
the accident.
FBI agents checked through the
f1ngerprint files of licensed pilots in
an effort to match those found on
the controls of the damaged plane.
All pilots, even students, are finger
printed by the CAA.
This fact, coupled with a full de-
scription given by airport guards, it
was understood, led to the appre-

0possum Crashes Concert
Rehearsal, Lands in Pot

An opossum who coasted, ap-
parently on a piece of debris, into
a National Symphony Orchestra re-
hearsal at the Water Gate yester-
day now probably regrets his de-
cision to leap onto an anchor rope
of the symphony barge.
Both ends of the rope being i'm
passable, the animal found no re-
course but to hang on.
This proved futile, however. In
answer to radio summons by the
Park Police, Pvt. F. c. White, aboard
harbor police patrol boat, grabbed
the conveniently dangling tail OF
the opossum. Dropping the animal
to the floor Of the boat, Pvt. White
promptly headed for shore where a
park police scout car was waiting
But the park policemen dis
claimed any desire for an opossum,
according to Pvt. White, and gave
the animal to janitor at Interior
Department headquarters.
The janitor, they said, is partial
to opossum-cooked.

Veterans High Schoo
Opened al Central
With 900 Students

The Veterans High School Center
at Central High opened its doors to
an estimated 900 students this
morning.
Among the former GIs who plan
TO take the nine-week course were
several women veterans. Oldest stu
dent was believed to be a 42-year-
old former chief petty officer in the
Navy.
The day classes. which include the
usual academic subjects, were orig
inally scheduled to begin last Mon.
day, but uncertainty over the Dis
trict appropriations bill caused a
weeks postponement.
Budget Director A. w. Heinmiller
OF the District schools said $1O6 ,OOC

ing fiscal year in the bill which
now awaits President Truman's

not increasing prices far above pre-
vious ceilings.
Meat packing officials here have
estimated that most retail meat
prices might rise S or cents a
pound above ceilings, but no au-
thoritative data was available today
to show whether such uniform rise
is in process, it was explained.
No Consumer Resistance.
The three cents a quart milk price
increase has been accepted with
out consumer resistance" here and
in other areas where similar in
creases took effect last week, ac-
cording to Charles w. holman,
secretary of the National Cooper
ative Milk Producers Association.
He reported that survey in 80
States indicated no runaway mar
kets and little if any consumer re-
sistance to the higher prices" He
said milk price increases were in
effect or Immediately contemplated
in so important milksheds, with no
increase in 16.
Locally, the "hold the line" policy
had varied manifestations over the
week end. At Griffith Stadium yes
terday, during the ball games be-
tween the Washington Senators and
Boston Red Sox, the loudspeaker
warned fans not to pay more than
10 cents for frankfurters. The man
agement, it was announced, had
been informed that some vendors
tried to charge Is cents.
The Central Labor Union of Al
exandria made public a resolution
urging continuance of OPA and de-
claring that it was "the duty" OF
Virginia legislators to work for en-
actment of price-control legislation.
Reports from Chicago indicate
a steady increase in meat supply,
with predictions that prices would
be 8 to 10 cents pound above old
OPA ceilings for cheaper cuts and
Is to 16 cents higher for choice
cuts.
Big meat packers, according to
Jack Kranis, president of the Ma
tional Meat Industry Council, were
buying everything in sight" in the
Chicago market today. He inter-
preted this as meaning that the
packers believe no OPA controls will
be restored on meat, the Associated
Press reported.
Coincident with reports that fresh
pork will be first to reach the con-
sumer, the Chicago hog market
noted moderate activity with aver
age prices so to rs cents higher
than last Friday.

State Department Drafts
Soviet Broadcast Plans

The State Department is working
out plans for broadcasting news and
other programs by short-wave to
Russia as part of a long-range effort
to promote better understanding of
the United States throughout the
world.
The Russian language broad

problem of how to boost radio sig
mails sent out from the United
States so they may be strong enough
for good reception in Russia. A
wartime relay station at Algiers
may be used.

Fair Rent Group
Says Advisers
Lack Power
Maryland Agency
Urges Legislation
As Only Control
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, July 8.-The ad-
visory Fair Rent Committees which
Gov. O'Conor has announced he
will appoint throughout Maryland
will prove ineffective because they
have no enforcement authority
members OF the 1941-42 Maryland
Fair Rent Commission believe.
The only way to control rents is
through legislative action which
would give enforcement power to
a rent control agency, they say.
Meanwhile, Gov. OConor said he
had been advised by DR.. Horace
E. Flack, head of the Bureau OF
Legislative Reference, that rent
controls cannot be enacted without
an amendment to the State Con-
stitution. The Governor has asked
Attorney General William Curran
for an opinion on the proposed
legislation.
E. D. Gaudreau, former chairman
of the 10-member commission. said
complaints from tenants were fol-
lowed up by request that the
landlord appear at a hearing and
explain his rent increase. "If the
landlord refused to heed the ruling
of the committee. there wasn't
much we could do," Mr.. Gaudreau
said.
He added that some property
owners could be brought around
by threatening to turn them over
to the Health Department, but
other than that, our hands were
tied as far as having any enforce
ment powers"
Mrs. Harry E. Corner. another
commission member, said one of
the commissions most serious
handicaps was that tenants were
afraid to complain of rent in
creases because they might be
forced to move by the landlord.

USES Also Reports
More Placement in
Jobs During June

Ten out OF every IL veterans dis
charged by early June either were
employed or taking advantage of
educational provisions of the GI Bill
of Rights, it was revealed today by
Robert C. Goodwin, director of the
United States Employment Service.
The local Office of the USES also
reported more placements of per-
sons in jobs last month as compared
to earlier months in the year.
Fred z. HetZel, director of the
District Office, said local employers
hired So per cent of the persons
sent by USES for interview as COM
pared to 48 per cent In May. A total
of S,256 persons were placed in june
OF which 767 were veterans, Mr..
Hetzel said.
Veteran Backlog Reduced.
For the third straight month the
Nations backlog of veterans not at
work has been reduced in spite of
the continued discharge of men
from the armed forces, according to
Mr.. Goodwin.
THE number of veterans over the
Nation who were not working or
were seeking employment decreased
by 10000" Mr.. Goodwin stated.
Total veterans In this non-working
group, excluding those in school,
dropped from 100000 In May to
100000 in June"
Mr.. Goodwin made this statement
In review OF the current report Of
the Bureau of Census relative to the
American labor force The review
disclosed, he said, that 9,840, 900 of
the 11,340,000 discharged veterans
covered in the survey are at work
with an additional SOC, 900 at school.
The figures showed that veterans
in the civilian labor force heretofore
listed as unemployed are coming
into the employment picture in in
creasing numbers, Mr.. Goodwin
said.
U. S. Gets Most Workers.
In the District, the USES reported
the wholesale and retail trade
gained the greatest number of new
personnel sent by the Office pro-
cessing trade, service and industrial
opportunities while the Government
topped the list of employers getting
new employees from the office pro-
cessing commercial, professional and
technical jobs.
Meanwhile, the Veterans of For
eign Wars today urged Congress to
approve the Veterans Employment
and National Economic Develop
ment Corporation Act, which pro-
vides for establishment of an agency
to handle veterans unemployment
problems, as emergency legislation
for an increasingly alarming condi-
ton within the nation"
Joseph M. Stack, VFW national
commander, said the legislation
would provide for new jobs and
opportunities rather than displace-
ment of workers already engaged in
production.
There has been too much CONVEX
sation about jobs for veterans and
too little action" he declared, add
ing that it is better to lead veterans
into self-suff1ciency than to lead
them into the public trough of the
United States Treasury"

District Opposes Bill
To Transfer Funds Of
Planning Unit 10 u. ).

District Government opposition
to a bill which would transfer
control of the expenses Of the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission to the Federal Govern
ment shaped up today.
While the bin, now peing con-
sidered by the House District Com
mittee, would save the District Gov
ernment $4,000 year in Washing
ton taxpayers money, there was
seen in it hidden purpose-a
move on the part of the commission
to escape all District control and
get clear track for postwar plans
which would exempt more taxable
land in the Capital.
Commissioner Guy Mason was re-
ported to be taking the position
that if saving $4,000 meant only
that the District eventually would
lose millions in tax revenues, he
was opposed to it.
Engineer Commissioner Gordon r.
Young, a member ex-officio of the
planning group, said he went along
with this view and commented on
the proposed budget change as fol-
lows:
1T would be simply another case
where planning agency concerned
primarily with planning for the
District would pass entirely out OF
the hands of the District govern
ment."
He described the District govern
ment as already a crazy setup'' in
which at least a dozen autonomous
boards entirely independent of the
municipal government are trying to
operate the city administration.
Corporation Counsel Vernon F
West, studying the bill so that the
Commissioners may report on it to
Congress, is expected to give his
findings to the city heads at their
weekly meeting tomorrow.
The principal park and planning
projects which would take land off
the tax rolls are the proposed COM
pletion of the northwest rectangle
of Federal buildings and the pro-
posed development of East Capitol
street. II present plans are carried
out, about $20,00O,000 worth of tax
able land or about $350,000 in an
nual real estate tax revenues even
tually would be made exempt.
The connection between these
plans, already made by the commits
sion and District control or nom
control of the commissions yearly
administrative expenses, is obscure,
since the groundwork for them al
ready has been written in Federal
buildings legislation.
AS for the commissions program
OF playground, park and parkway
land purchases, a ceiling already
has been placed on it by the Cap
per- -Cramton Act of 1880, which au-
thorized $4,000, 900 for the purposes.
A little less than $5,000,0 900 of the
authorization remains to be spent
Gen. Young has stated that he is
not opposed to the purchases
planned with this fund.
The commission proposed the
budget change in order to obtain
a larger staff to meet a situation
in which the city has doubled ir
size while continuing to operate
with the same size staff it had ir
1926 when the body was created te
plan the Capital City.
Whether the budget shift would
result in a move on the commits.
sion's part to have its land purchase
program extended by further au.
thorizations could not be foretold
today. In any event, such exten-
sion would involve setting up mu.

type purchases and would have tx
be passed on by the Commissioners

Mexican Laborers
Return 10 Mexico
PAGE TWELVE

All Mexican labor has been
moved out of Kennewick. This will
probably wind up the Mexican
program here. All the Mexicans
expect to be sent to Mexico by
January 1 and no arrangements
are being made at present for their
return next season. It is hoped
that enough local and migrant la
Dor will be available by spring to
handle the asparagus harvest. Far
mers needing asparagus cutters
next year are urged to provide
housing for such labor.
1t would be hard to estimate the
amount of good that has been ac-
complished by these Mexican
workers. The loss of crops would
have been enormous had it not
been for this class of labor. For
instance, in the grape harvest
about $4,000 boxes were picked
by Mexicans. All available white
labor was also used and the har-
vest was completed just as the
first hard frosts struck. These $780,
600 boxes would have been lost
had it not been for Mexican labor.
