The Children of Mary Sodality of Our Lady of Lourdes Church met last night in the parish hall. A Mothers Day celebration followed, and approximately 50 mothers at- tended. Refreshments were served and Italian folk songs were played, while the mothers and daughters participated in a dance.

Grain for Alcoholic BeDerageS Denounced Federal Council of Churches Urges
 Government To Ban Practice During Present Shortage

New York, May 10.-A two-fold appeal to the government and to the churches of America for im- mediate action to meet the increas- ing crisis of hnuger in wide areas of the world was made here this afternoon by the Executive Com- mittee of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America at it's regular bi-monthly meeting.
 The government was urged by the Council
 1. To procure atthe sourse the grains, fats, and meats which should be sent for foreign relief needs, and ship them immediately to the starving people overseas:
 2 To establish consumers ra- tioning as means of systematic sharing with the hungry peoples of the world, in case present volun- tary measures prove to be in ade- Quate;
 3. To forbid any use of grain for alcoholic beverages during the present shortage of cereal grains throughout the world.
 Church members were urged
 l. To begin at once, if, they have not already done so, voluntary rationing of foods vitally needed in other lands, particularly wheat flour and fats;
 ?. To produce food-e.g. in gar- dens-to the fullest possible extent.
 The Councils action is being transmitted to President Truman and to the Secretary of Agriculture, Clinton P. Anderson.

NyIon Sale Bockfires

New York, May 10-(UP)-Ralph Newmark thought it would be a good idea to give Brooklyn small fry an opportunity to buy Nom a pair oi nylons for Mothers Day.
 He advertised a nylon sale for school children only.
 The sale was scheduled for 3:30 o'clock. Glasses let out in Brooklyn at 3 o'clock.
 By the time the sale started, Newmark had between 5000 and 5000 rope-skipping, marble-shoot- ing, hopt-scotching customers wait ing impatiently along Flatbush Ave nue.
 Undaunted by the monster he had uncorked, he began admitting five children at time to his store. That was too slow for the children. The line began to buckle. Then it bulged; then it overf1owed into Flatbush Avenue, giving way to a bowling. screaming mob that dis rupted traffic.
 Police came to the rescue. The sale was ordered discontinued. The kids dispersed to a nearby soda fountain and frankfurter stand to spend the money originally intend ed for Mom's nylons.
 The cops restored order ta the es -Shop then returned to the sta- tt n.
 |Vormalcy return dto Flatbush Avenue about an hour later.
 Newmark. grateful to police for getting him out of a ticklish situa- tion, donated $50 to the police ben- evolent fund.

New Bill Being Drawn
As Compromise Curb
On Business Rents

A compromise plan for commercial
property rental controls here is being
drafted as substitute for the Barry
bill, according to Chairman Healy
of the subcommittee of the House
District Committee in charge of the
legislation.
Reports to this effect came as Mr..
Healy, Democrat, of California made
public final arguments on the Barry
bill submitted following the close of
hearings on the measure. These in
clude numerous demands both for
| the approval and rejection of COM
mercial rent controls.
Representative Barry, Democrat,
OF New York, said he was submitting
to Chairman Healy the draft of the
New York commercial rent control
law, which freezes such rents as of
March /, 1943, but allows a Is per
cent increase over those levels.
Seen As More Liberal.
Such a plan would be more lib
eral than the original bill to freeze
rents here at March !, 1912, levels,
Mr.. Barry said, and might serve as
a pattern for the District situation.
Earlier, Mr.. Healy had told The
Star he believed commercial rent
control, If recommended by his SUBJ
committee, would be along lines of
a simplified measure giving the Dis
trict Rent Administration power to
act in major cases of protests
against rent rises instead of broad
city-wide authority to probe all COM
mercial rent leases
1t appeared, therefore, that the
original Barry bill, to freeze rents
as of March l, 1912, was to be pig
eonholed.
j. M. Heiser, president of the Fed
Grafton of Business Mems Associa-
tions, principal sponsor of the
Barry bill, recommended that the
| freezing date be changed to June
| l, 1914. He said he believed this
would prove more acceptable than
the proposed cut back to 1912.
Await Outlines Cases.
For the other side, numerous in
dividual cases were outlined by F. G.
Await, counsel for the opposition,
to match protests against rent rises
filed by Mr.. Heiser.
In addition. the National Asso-
citation of Real Estate Boards ad-
vised against. commercial rent con-
trolls here or elsewhere over the
country, asserting that abuses"
exist only in minor" amount. In
general, the national realtors state
ment added, the relationships be-
tween commercial tenants and land
lords are Wholesome and mutually
satisfactory"
A statement by Benjamin Striner,
private citizen" but formerly
president of the District chapter of
the District Pharmaceutical Asso-
citation, was one of the major argu-
ments against commercial rent con-
troll.
He declared that, while New York

sale, approved yesterday by the War
Assets Administration. The sur
plus property law requires that the
Justice Department must determine
whether any sale at price above
100000 would tend to create a
monopoly. E
No one seemed to know today
what would happen If the Justice
Department should rule against the
sale. There have been reports dur
ing the past several days that AS
sistant Attorney General Wendell
L. Berge, chief of the antitrust di-
vision, would decide that way but
no one professed to know whether
Attorney General Clark would &C
cept such an opinion.
A WAA spokesman said he knew
