addition to being bona fide residents
Of the District, the Manor Park
Citizens Association decided last

A 17-year-old Coolidge High
School student, Joe L. Duvall, 124
Peabody street NV, pleaded for a
recreational program for the Manor
Park area young people.
"Since we teen ayers have to live
in this section, I think we should
have some say in the government
of the community" he said. Point
ing out that there was no place to
play ball, young Duvall said the sixth
precinct police station tells us to
get out of the street and play ball
in the park and then the park police
chase us from there"
The association members pointed
out special committee already had
been appointed to map out recrea-
tional plans for the young people
and promised to write a letter to
the park police requesting that parks
in the area be used as Fairgrounds.
School principals In the Manor

The Right Rev. Angus Dun, Epis-
copal Bishop Of Washington, will
be the principal speaker today
when members of the Special Gifts
units of the Community Chest Fed
Grafton campaign organization meet
at 1890 pm. in the ballroom Of
the Mayfower Hotel.
Col. Chauncey Parker, chairman
of the Special Gifts units, will pre-
side. Among those expected, to at
tend is William A. M. Burden, As
sistant Secretary of Commerce for
Air, who is head Of the Govern
ment units Special Gifts section.
The chairmen of the other units
for the campaign also have been
invited.
Yesterday, nearly 1000 Govern
ment volunteer workers met in the
Departmental auditorium to launch
the Government unit drive which
has goal of $1,790,000, or 43 per
cent of the total 81, 200 900 campaign
goal.
Outlines Aims of Drive.
1--WE meet today. John L. Sulli-
van, Undersecretary of the Navy,
told the workers, ito open our Of
fensive against human suffering
and misery-against poverty and
need, illness and loneliness and
many other evils that sap the mo-
rale of the civilian population and
those men in the services"
Mr.. Sullivan emphasized that the
drive includes funds for the USO
and said the Navy "is vitality inter-
ested in this campaign, since there
are thousands of men still in uni
form, still overseas"
"We must give them everything
possible to sustain their morale, !"
he added. mot the least of the
factors supporting their morale is
the splendid work of the USO. I
am sure that no real American will
ever begrudge any amount he gives
to further this fine work for our
boys at home and abroad"
Mr.. Sullivan described the vari-
Gus Chest agencies as "bulwark
against disease and juvenile de-
Hnquency.
'They busy themselves with In
FAINT care, with nursing, with whole
some recreation for the underpriv-
ileged-in short they operate in Or
ganized fashion-to provide that
care and helpfulness
which early Americans gave to one
another personally" he said.
Bell Speaks on Goal.
Daniel w. Bell, chairman of the
federation campaign, told the Gov
ernment workers the two things
necessary to reach this years goal
are for all former givers to increase
their gifts and for those who did
not give in previous years, to give
generously this year.
'I believe that every person who
earns should give" he added. Where
two or more in family are en-
ployed, each one of them should
have share in the giving"
Herbert L. Willett, executive di-
rector of the Community Chest Fed
Grafton, urged that a list of the
125 Chest agencies be placed in as
many Government offices as pos
sible so that employees can IA
miliarize themselves with the types
of services their contributions will
help support.
Edward H. Foley, jr., Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury and chair
man Of the Government unit pre-
sided.

Band preceded the meeting. The

Swimming Pool
Projects Curbed
As Housing Aid
Restrictions frightened
By CPA to Eliminate
Many LoophoIes'
BY the Associoied Press

Reports u $loo,O 900 swimming pools
and fences and walls costing $4,000
led the Government to tighten its
construction restrictions today In
favor of veterans housing.
I'VE had too many loopholes in
our previous order" a Civilian Pro-
duction Administration official told
a reporter, citing the costly pools
and walls as an example.
Brought under controls for the
first time are swimming pools, board
walks, amusement park roller coast
ers, concrete surfaces for parking
lots, tennis courts and drive-in thea
tiers, and walls or fences built Of
wood, brick, concrete or concrete
blocks.
$500 Cost Limit Set.
None of these must be planned or
Started without specific authoriza-
ton unless they cost less than $500.
Similarly, no repairs or alterations
may be made without a permit II
they cost 5000 or more.
Those which have been started
with the materials on the site may
be completed. Permits are required
for all others.
"We have to get the bricks and
cement to complete veterans homes
first, the CPA official said.
The agency reported that con-
crete has become scarce in many
areas since the original construc-
ton restrictions were ordered.
Another cutback change was
made in the small jobs" previously
allowed without permits for indus
trial, utility and transportation
buildings If they cost under SIS, 900.
Materials Diverted.
Now these buildings must contain
10000 or more square feet of floor
area to qualify under the $4,000
exemption. Otherwise the job must
not eest over $1,000.
CPA said too many small jobs"
were diverting housing materials.
Unchanged under the small job"
category which require no permits
are s400 for addition or alteration
of a house; $1,000 for a store, and
5000 for billboard or tourist cabin.
+ In another move to aid the hous-
ing program, CPA said it has offered
a $40 a ton subsidy for increased
production of wire nails.
Nails have been one of the bottle
necks in the housing program for
several months, even though recent
production has been near 5000
tons monthly.
