no longer adequate or suitable,
from the standpoint of size. age
and functional arrangement, the
directors have undertaken to pro-
vide the homeless elderly residents
of the community with an attrac-
tive and comfortable new home in
which to spend the years of their
old age.
Realizing that their responsibility
does not end with providing for
the aged women alone, Society
members have included accomoda-
tions for 80 elderly men in plans
for the new nome, Mrs. Perry said.
Outstanding features of the pro-
posed new home-to be erected on
a lot III feet wide and 1923 feet deep
include impressive Handicapped
grounds, a large open porch and
several smaller sun-porches, mod
ern, well-equipped kitchens and in
Urinary, pleasant airy living and
dining rooms, and quarters for staff
members.
There will be go individual bed
rooms and 30 baths, especially de-
signed for the comfort and con-
venience of the elderly guests, with
one wing for the women and az
other for the men.
Mrs. Perry pointed out that the
building will be set back from the
street so that residents may enjoy
fresh air and sunshine without VEN
turing on crowded city streets.
Construction is scheduled to get
underway as soon as the necessary
funds are assured and building
materials available.
Opened In 1895
Chief factor influencing the board
of directors in deciding to under
take the new home project is the
age and Inadequate size of the
present home, which was opened
by the Ladies Benevolent Society
In 1895.

High in their tower on the 37th

closely guarded by American Army
military policemen, the four foreign

sion, each attended by two advisers
and n interpreter. Normally
there have been between As and so
men at each meeting.
Byrnes went into the meeting
ready to suggest that if the Foreign
ministers could get nowhere on
Trieste they might as we'll admit
the failure of the present confer
ence, start their talks on Germany,
arrange if possible a full dress
German treaty meeting in Europe
early next year, and get back to
their jobs in Washington, London,
Moscow and Paris.
Byrnes Insists
The Big Four met here to write
the final texts of treaties for Italy,
Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary and
Finland. 1t was agreed at Potsdam
that the Italian treaty should come
first and Byrnes insists on that
point. Hence failure to agree on the
italian treaty would mean failure
on all five.

MEN HURT
IN MASS ARRAY
One Seriously Wounded By
Axe During Maffitt
Village Battle

Four Negro men were hurt, one
seriously, and eight Maffitt Ne
groes arrested as an aftermath OF
a mass battle that burst out at LOG
A Worth Drive here late last night.
George Robinson, whom Maffitt
Village police say i%nstigated the
disturbance, lay in James Walker
hospital last night with a grave
head wound inflicted by an axe al
legedly welded by Buster Floyd.
Floyd, Frune Bracey and Leo
Bracey were all under treatment at
James Walker for injuries suffered
in the ARRAY.
In addition to the wounded
quartet of Negroes, Maffitt Village
police also held Katie Street, Vir-
ginia Little. Geneva Mcmillan and
Mary Helen Little, all uninjured, on
charges of an ARRAY with weapons.
Sam Ryder. c. B. Thompson and
Chief W. H. Stanley, of the Maffitt
Village police force, were respon-
sible for quelling the disturbance
and making the arrests.
Chief Stanley said last night that
the fight flared when Robinson al
legedly intoxicated, began an argu-
ment in the Worth Drive house.
After Floyd picked up an axe, police
say that Furney Bracey struck him
with a bottle, after which Floyd is
alleged to have struck Robinson
down with the axe.
In the ensuing struggle, both the
Braceys received minor wounds.

Unused over the possibility of win

He said indoor practice stands,
to accommodate so drummers, were
being used, pending the arrival OF
"a snare drums, and 3 base drums,
to Be available within a week.
Eighteen bugles, and five tenor

The board indicated that Con-

1.-THE board feels that the issue

that the present revision is an ap-

fore the Congress the question of
whether the executive order should
be vacated or whether authority
for such regulation should be con-

Among items on which controls
are to be lifted are watches,
jewelry, pianos and other musical
instruments, furnaces, plumbing
equipment, ~silverware, bicycles,
aircraft, boats, lighting fixtures,
