CHOCOLATE CAKE?
(Fron1 Mrs. B. F. H., Arlington.)

(Fr0m Mrs. b. +. H., ATtn0ton.)
AS a faithful, If silent. follower of
the Clearing House for the past two
years, I have been constantly
amazed at the assortment Of knowl-
edge and ideas held by the women
of this community, and Of the gen.
erosity with which 1t is shared. I
am now a seeker, and I hope some
one has and will share with me an
old recipe of which I have only a
memory. It is a moist, chocolate
cake, the mixing method being quite
different from any other. The basis
was a custard made in a double
boiler. Eggs, three or four; choco-
late, sugar and milk were first
cooked, and when cooled, flour and
baking powder were added. My
mother made this cake, and allowed
me to help, but this is all that I
can call to mind now. I believe 1t
was of Southern origin, but the only
cake I have ever tasted that was
similar was a wellesley Fudge
Cake" and that did not seem quite
as rich and moist. I am now trying
to collect recipes for my daughter,
and will be very grateful for any
help given.

u. 5. Employees Here
In so Put at 10000

Federal building officials will con-
tinue to plan new construction in
the Capital on the basis Of a perma-
rient peace-time payroll of 10000
Federal employees here by 1850 it was
learned yesterday.
Planning is going ahead on this
employment figure, it was said,
despite Republican predictions of
large-scale budget cuts and Repre-
sentative Taber's warning that he
intends to slash 1000 900 employees
from the Federal payroll.
These officials, who must estimate
the Federal payroll several years in
advance in order to plan future con-
struction intelligently, said they
frankly doubted If the new Congress
would be able to make cuts here
beyond the 10000 figure.
The program the building officials
have in mind would cost approx
mately $200,00O,000 in and near
Washington alone.
It includes completion Of the So
called new War Department at
Twenty first and Virginia avenue;
new buildings for the Navy and
State Departments and the General
Accounting Office; additional build
ings for the Treasury and Interior
Departments; the Federal Archives;
Library of Congress and Bureau of
Standards; plus a general Office
building for the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and other quasi-inde-
pendant agencies; an annex for the
Washington city post Office, and a
service building for the Public
Buildings Administration.

Some District Hotels
Are Expected 10 Seek
Room Rent Increase

Some Washington hotels, faced
with less business and higher operat-
ing costs, are expected to ask for an
increase in transient room rates, &C
cording to Arthur j. Harnett, secre-
tary OF the Hotel Association Of
Washington.
"Of the 81 hotels In the associa-
ton, I expect a minority will apply
for increased rates." Mr.. Harnett
said today. But I do not believe
the applications will be for more
than a 10 per cent increase"
Mr.. Harnett said room occupancy
of hotels here is about SO per cent,
much less than in wartime and
about at the "break-even" point. The
occupancy rate Is seasonal. he
pointed out, and last July and Au-
gust 1t was down to about go per cent.
Washington's hotels at the same
time have had to face rising costs.
For example, MIR. Harnett said, an
nual payrolls have increased by about
81, 900 900 since 1889.
Another factor is the decline Of
about 80 per cent which hotels have
in income from the sale
of food and beverages, Mr.. Har-
nett said.
Mr.. Harnett said that hotels
throughout the country hope the
OPA will remove ceilings ON tran
sient room rates to allow for in
creased costs. He cited a statement
by Leonard Hicks, president of the
National Hotel Association, that
hotels would ask for increases of Is
to 20 per cent. This would be more
than the requests for higher ceilings
would be here, Mr.. Harnett said.
Elsewhere than Washington hotels
are under OPA control. Rents here
are controlled by the District Rent
Control Act which froze rents as of
January !, 1941, and which was ex-
tended to the end of 1947. There
has been no dissatisfaction here
with the rent administration, which
Mr.. Harnett said has been good.
Applications for higher ceilings
here will be made by the hotels in
he said.
