Federal Park Sites
Sought for Temporary
Veterans Housing

The Commissioners today went to
the Interior Department in an effort
to persuade Undersecretary Oscar l.
Chapman to permit use of strips OF
Federal parkland as sites for tenn
porary veterans housing.
The sites in question are close tc
roads and utilities and the cost OF
the project to the District would be
minimized if they are approved. The
temporary homes are to be erected
at Federal expense by the Fedral
Public Housing Authority.
Parks officials were said to have
some misgivings about the plar
and the city heads indicated they
were anxious to discuss the matter
personally with Mr.. Chapman. At.
tending today's conference in the
Undersecretary's Office was Commits.
sioner John Russell Young and En-.
gineer Commissioner Gordon r
Young.
The Commissioners have asked
the FPHA to reserve Tor them 60(
of the temporary dwellings made
available by Congress on a Nation
wide basis to help cope with the
housing shortage.
Two hundred of these will be
erected for colored veterans at
Camp Simms, Fifteenth street and
Alabama avenue Sc. as the result
of an agreement between the Com
missioners and the District Ma
tional Guard Sites for the re-
mainder have not been disclosed
District officials have estimated
the cost to the city of providing
sites, streets, water and sewers for
the sites under consideration at
about S400 per housing unit. A bill
is now pending in Congress which
would authorize them to spend up
to $250,000 for the project.

PARIS, Mar. 20.-Prosecutor Pierre
Dupin dropped surprise in the
multiple murder trial of DR.. Marcel
Petiot today when he conceded that
at least three of the 27 slayings
charged against Petiot were OF
Gestapo agents.
The prosecutors statement came
after Petiot had described the
executions" of the three, allegedly
by other members of his resistance
group"
The third day of the trial found
the defendant involved in an effort
to prove that the Jews among the
persons he is accused of killing were
Gestapo decoys.
The argumentative doctor reached
this point last night as the court
took up the individual cases of Is
Jews whom the prosecution says
paid Petiot money on the promise
they would be smuggled from Nazi-
occupied France.

statement, Rene Floriot, defense at

Senate 10 Quiz HASTE
On Economic Policies
For Virgin Islands

Questions as to what will be the
economic policies in the administra-
ton of the Virgin Islands were
raised today by members of Sen
ate subcommittee as it took up the
nomination of Judge William H.
HaStie of Washington, to be Gov
ernor of the islands.
Senators Brewster, Republican, of
Maine, and Eastland, Democrat. of
Mississippi, joined in raising the
point and in insisting that Secre-
tary OF the Interior Krug be asked
to appear personally before the sub
committee.
A warm Endorsement of the nomi-
nation of Judge HASTE, dean of the
law school of Howard University,
was given in statement from Mr..
Krug which was read. by w. w.
Gardner, an interior solicitor. This
did not satisfy the two members.
They brought out that Mr.. Krug
had taken Office two days ago and
that his statement was drafted
by Erwin Silverman. acting director
of the territories division of the
Interior Department, and was re-
vised by Mr.. Gardner and finally
indorsed by Secretary Krug.
Mr.. Gardner, under persistent
questioning, said he believed the
nomination of Judge HASTE had
BEEN suggested by Harold Ickes,
former Secretary of the Interior.
He added Mr.. Krug would give no
"ruber stamp" Endorsement to a
nomination and reported that Mr..
Krug yesterday had called Judge
HASTE in for an interview before
authorizing presentation of the in
dorsing statement.
This line of questioning endeo
when Senator Murdoch, Democrat.
of Utah, chairman of the subcom-
mittee of the Senate Committee on
Territories and Insular Affairs, in
charge of the nomination, an
nounced Secretary Krug would be
asked to appear personally at
later date.
Judge Hastie, who had served as
a solicitor in the Interior Depart
ment early in the Roosevelt admin
istration and later became the first
celored man to become a Federal
district judge dor the Virgin Islands
district, is to take the stand at an
other session tomorrow morning.
More than 200 persons arrived at
the Capitol to attend the hearing
They were directed to three differ
ent hearing rooms before a place
large enough was found. This was
the hearing room of the Committee
on Public Lands, but when it was
packed there still was an overflow
in the hall.
Earlier the group had been moved
from the Territories Committee
room, to the District Committee
room and then to the Public Lands
hall in the Senate Office Building.
Tomorrow. if all goes well, the hear
ing will be held in the caucus room
of the Senate Office Building or in
some other large hall.

 This is the day boys, the day we've all been waiting for. It didn't seem it would ever get here, and now that 1t is here, can hardly believe it's true. I'm sit- ting on my empty cot with my sea- bags packed ready to go at 4. I feel like a jockey waiting for the start of race. I go aboard either an aircraft carrier or an A. F. A., late tonight and the destination is the United States. I expect to be in Frisco about Feb. 1, and home four days later.

I enjoyed listening to you, and look forward to reading it in the convention proceedings. How is Buster" coming along?

If so, I would appreciate it if you would give him ring, and suggest that he hold off any ac- tion on any communication he might have received until Buster" can talk to him.
 You are such a busy person ap- parently that it seems difficult to get letter from you. Do let me hear from you.

Scarlet Fever
Symptoms Listed

Even in its mildest forms, scar.
let fever is always q serious i'll
ness, according to DR.. Tudor.
County Health Officer. Compi-
cations of this disease sometimes
include Inflammation of the ears,
joints, and q form of heart di-
sease which often results in perm.
anent heart injury.
Initial scarlet fever symptoms
include bright, uniform red rash
on the first or second day, usually
lasting four or five days, and q
peeling of the skin during the Sec
ond week. Prompt medical Care is
advised by DR.. Tudor to avoid
complications that may follow.
Scarlet fever is caused by a
streptococcus bacterium, and is
spread by direct contact with an
infectious case. For this reason iso-
lation of the patient is required.
"Strep" or septic sore throat is
sometimes confused with scarlet
fever, but both produce many of
the same injurious effects and the
treatment is similar for both.
