Use Of Terminal Pay Bonds
To Pay Insurance Urged

The American Veterans Commit
tee today proposed that legislation
calling for terminal leave for en-
listed men provide that payment in
bonds be made negotiable imme-
diately' to the Veterans Admins
tration as credit toward the cost
of converting and maintaining ma
tionaal service life insurance.
The proposal was made to mem
bers of the Senate House Conference
Committee studying the bill in wires
sent by Chat Paterson, AVG legis-
lative spokesman.
While AVG has supported cash
payment, he said, "if the committee
is determined on payment by bonds
this plan would not contribute to
imitation and would encourage many
veterans to continue their insurance
who otherwise would not be able
to do So"
Regarding Senate opposition to
cash payment of terminal leave on
grounds that it would contribute to
imitation, he added, ''It is unfortu-
nate that this approach was not
more evident in the recent discus
sion of the extension of price
control"

70 Groups Will Meet
To Plan BUYERS Strike

A selective buyers strike advo-
eating that consumers refrain from
paying high prices was planned
last night at a meeting of the
Washington chapter of the Union
for Democratic Action. The organi-
zation will meet at 1890 am. Mon
day at the Jewish Welfare Board,
Seventeenth street and Massachu-
setts avenue NV, with some 20
other groups to launch the move
ment actively.
The meeting last night at Pierce
Hall, Fifteenth and Harvard streets
NV, was addressed by David
Ginsberg, former general counsel
of OPA and until recently deputy
director of the economic division of
the Military Government in Ger
many, who advocated methods to
combat imitation, including the
limited strike.
THE seeds of imitation are here
now" Mr.. Ginsberg warned and
said that there is real danger unless
labor, management and the con-
sumer stand together in resisting the
trend. He said this will be possible
II labor does not ask for an infla-
tionary spiral of wages; manage
ment does not demand higher price
increases and the consumer uses
restraint in his purchasing power.
He advocated that people buy only
those products which are reasonably
priced and boycott those with infla-
tionary prices.

Ex-Novy Mans
Honesty Assures
Sailor FurIouqh

Words can't express the thanks of
Shipfitter C Fred De Mar, l101 Chi
cago street Sc, for the honesty Of
an ex-Navy man, Kirmet A. Har-
rison, 1925 E street NE.
Shipfitter De Mar was having a
hard time hitching ride from the
Army Chemical Warfare base out
side of Frederick, Md, last Thurs
day when Mr.. Harrison gave him a
lift to the Pennsylvania Turnpike
junction at Breezewood. At last,
Shipftter DeMar thought after he
had left the automobile, he was on
his way for 27-day furlough in
Los Angeles.
Then ne reached for his wallet
containing $50 and his papers. Moth
ing was there. Sadly, he began the
hitch-hike back home.
He didn't know Mr.. Harrison,
however. For the ex-serviceman,
when he discovered the wallet in the
car, had driven 80 miles back to
Frederick to the sailors base trying
to find the owner, then on to the
District address given on an identi-
fication paper to be certain Ship
filter De Mar would receive his
wallet.
Words can't tell how happy 7
was" said the sailor. 1T also shows
what an ex-Navy man will do for

of Peru, Chile, Panama and Guate-

The hope during the last several

may be realized this week if the
President signs bill passed by the
House yesterday, authorizing pur-
chase of their property at l99 Ches-

Mr.. Bockovac, a retired Navy
Yard employe, has been appealing
to Congress for more than six years
for Federal purchase Of his home,
which is located directly in the path

Narrowly Missed by Weight.
Mrs. Bockovac wept yesterday as
she told of nearly being hit by a
5-pound weight from a trailing
antenna that had dropped in the
back yard.
Mr.. Bockovac explained he had
found his wife lying unconscious in
the yard on his return from work
one evening in October, 1912, where
she had tainted when she heard the
weighty metal object hit the ground
about a foot from where she stood,
The weight had imbedded itself 18

Veteran Housing Units
Delayed by Shortages

Completion of IL temporary hous-
ing units for veterans now under
construction along Sligo parkway.
near Forest Glen road, Silver
Spring, has been delayed approxi-
mately three weeks because of lack
OF plumbing materials. it was
learned today.
The units were scheduled for oc-
cupancy last Satuld day.
According to Federal Public Hous-
ing Administra ton officials, who are
in charge of the work. their prin-
cipal difficulty has been in obtain
ing cast-iron pipe and plumbing
fixtures.
They said. however. conditions
have improved within the last week.
About half of the material is on
hand now and they expect the re-
mainder soon.
Meanwhile, veterans and their
families who are eligible to occupy
the units have been besieging the
Office of the Montgomery County
Housing Authority. Silver Spring, in
an attempt to speed up action Some
said they are being evicted from
their present homes by landlords
desiring to obtain possession.
The Sligo parkway units are vir-
tually completed except for the
plumbing fixtures. it was said.
