There is possibility of many peo-

j. H. Ferry, president of Potomac
Electric Power. Co., said plan was
being worked out for partial con-
version of its two power plants from
coal to fuel OIL This conceivably
could maintain half of the Districts
electricity supply.
The plan has progressed sum-
GENTLY that it might be placed into
operation to some extent a week
from now, Mr.. Ferry said.
Oil Consumption High.
There are many problems con-
nected with it, such as obtaining
adequate equipment for the plants
and keeping the supply OF fuel Oil
flowing. For maximum results, 200,-
600 gallons of oil would be needed
daily at each the Buzzards Point
and Benning plants-"a tremendous
problem in logistics."
Negotiating With Manufacturers.
The company has been negotiating
with Eastern dealers OF burners
heaters and other equipment needed
for oil burning. But even If the
maximum quantity OF material il
obtained, there still is the question
of whether sufficient fuel oil, nov
in greater demand, could be pur.
chased.
A saving of Is per cent was re.
ported by Pepco yesterday. With
sufficient coal coming in to NEE
the days requirements, there still il
SO days supply on hand for curtailet
operation.
The dinout order, originally ap
piled to 81 States and the District

areas burning coal for power. In an
other Civilian Production Admins

difnout already is in effect must fur
ther curtail electricity when les

Although Pepco still has more

Polio Funds Appropriated
For Training Of Personnel

Appropriation of $278, 400 by the
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis for the training of public
health personnel was announced to-
day by DR.. Thomas Parran, surgeon
general of the United States Public
Health Service and Foundation
President Basil O'Connor.
Noting the need for 1900 physi-
clans ana engineers in State and
local health departments through
out the Nation, Dr. Parran said
S228, 400 of the appropriation would
provide fellowships for recruits.
'FelloWships are needed to supple
ment CT Bill of Rights allowances
and to attract men who are not
eligible under Federal grants -in-aid
to States" DR. Parran said. We be-
lieve that the conduct of successful
programs of control and alienation
of poliomyelitis will be aided
materially by the presence in health
departments of well-trained health
officers and sanitary engineers.
Funds for the fellowships will be
disbursed by the National Founda-
ton directly to the fellows on rec

Applicants must be under As years
Of age.
An additional $4,000 will train
health educators at a cost of $4,000

Hearings 10 Be Set
Soon on Day Care Bill
And Apartment Ban

Public hearings are to be sched-
uled soon on two bills on which
action was deferred at yesterday S
session of the Senate District Com
mittee.
One is the child day care center
bill, passed recently by the House
but which was halted yesterday on
a plea by Commissioner Guy Mason
that it would put the District into
competitor with private nursuries
and add to the Districts financial
headache"
The House bill authorizes annual
expenditures up to $50O,O00, with
part of this to be recovered in fees
from parents who are deemed able
to pay for the service
The other bill would block the
proposed construction of a 200-unit
apartment house at the southeast
corner of Sixteenth and Shepherd
streets NV, on a site purchased by
Parry Poretsky. 1t is sponsored by
home owners of nearby Crestwood
who have battled for several years
to stop the project, carrying their
case to the United States Supreme
Court.
To hear arguments on this bill,
which would stop the project by
ordering the District to change the
zoning of the site, Acting Chairman
Hoey has named a subcommittee
headed by Senator Johnston, Demo-
crat. of South Carolina.
Other members are Senators Tyd-
ings of Maryland. and McCarran
Of Nevada. Democrats, and Salton-
stall of Massachusetts and Young
of North Dakota, Republicans.
The Senate District Committee
yesterday delayed action on bill to
remove the present limitation of

House Naval Group
Backs Restoration Of
Cut in Fleet Funds

The House Naval Affairs Com
mittee voted today to seek restora-
tion to a pending Navy appropria-
ton bill of sufficient funds to provide
postwar Navy of 1,079 combatant
ships.
At a closed session the committee
decided to carry to the House floor
tomorrow its fight to override the
Appropriations Committees recon-
mendation for fleet of 965 ships.
The 1079-ship fleet is the size
approved unanimously by the
House late last year in legisla-
ton expressing the sentiments of
Congress with respect to the post
war Navy. The Senate has not
acted on the House-passedb bill.
Chairman Vinson disclosed the
Naval Committees action to re-
porters.
Plans Strong Fight.
I'VE intend to make strong
fight" Mr.. Vinson said.
The Navy's original request for
$6,325, 100000, which the Budget
Bureau trimmed to $4,224, 900, 900,
was designed to provide and back
up the 1,079 figure
Representative Sheppard, Demo-
crat, of California, chairman of the
Appropriations Subcommittee that
wrote the bill, told reporters earlier
he believed the measure would skim
through the House without change.
He said he knew of no organized
opposition and said the committee
action provided for large increases
in funds for naval reserve training
and scientific research.
The biggest reduction in naval
strength ordered by the committee
is in the destroyer escort category.
Committee Urges 238 DE'S.
The plan approved last year by
the House and contemplated by the
Navy when it submitted its budget
request called for 298 DE'S. The

The immigrant is usually young
and healthy. He is a source OF
increased military potential. He
is also a consumer, making for
jobs and products. If we cut out
immigration entirely, even the
present small quota of 153, 1873, we
would have a million and a half
fewer population aged 2-2O in
1870. Conversely, if the number
of intelligent, healthy and careful
" selected immigrants were to be
increased, our future population
would be considerably larger.
An investment of another 1OO,-
900 immigrants annually today,
over and above our present quota,
might mean a population (includ-
ing their descendents) larger by
100000 in 1870.

1--WE are not seriously concerned
about the value of membership
in these Service" clubs as such.
But bigotry and discrimination are
corroding, contagious diseases.
The longer we ignore them the
harder they will be to check and
the more difficult to isolate. A
bigoted condition in the club de-
moraliZes the personality of the
members in other areas, and it
is contagious.

"AS for the Jews of Minneapolis,
we do not think that they are

The United States

1.-THE estimate for the United
States is based on the assumption
that our birth and health rates
will be medium and present immi-
grafton quotas will remain the
same. 1t is noteworthy that many
authorities believe the estimate
too high. With 160,0OO,000 people
in 1870 we would have about 49,
100000 young men between 20 and
"a years of age.
"Most of our future increase be-
fore reaching a stationary rate
in 1870 will not be from births
going up, but from people living
longer. Over half our population
1884 per cent? will be over 80.
"The number of women of child
bearing age in our population will
decline, and those best fitted eco
nomically to reproduce will bear
the fewest children. Even today
mothers with only one to four
years of grade school bear four
times as many children as high
school graduates and eight times
as many as college graduates.
What Can Be Done About It,
There are only two ways to in
crease population: by stimulating
the birth rate and by immigration.
Stimulating the birth rate by
means of bonuses for babies was
tried by Hitler and Mussolini and
failed. Making better living con-
ditions for the nation as a whole
would help but it takes time and
even then would not insure that
every citizen raised a large fam
lily.
immigration carefully selected
and regulated-is the only immed-
late answer.
How Would immigration Help?
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1946-11-01

"But where Jews have energy
and leadership left in these criti-
cal days, there certainly is no
reason for their being introverted.
The joint membership of all serv-
ice clubs at best includes but a
small percentage of the general
population. There are other and
potentially more constructive
areas for Jewish participation.
There is the educational field
P. T. AS, adult education groups,
the Foreign Policy Association,
the Town Hall, the inter-group
activities in the public schools.
There is the Round Table OF the
National Conference of Christians
and Jews, the Women's College
club, the League of Women Voters.

League, the field of management

similar activities which make for
a better community, a nobler
