District Court Aide MAY Get
Disputes on Jobs of Veterans

Unemployment disputes between
discharged veterans and their pre-
service employers may be handled
by the commissioner Of veterans
cases at District Court soon instead
of the United States Attorneys
Office, it was learned today.
The Office of the CVC now IS
directly concerned only with War
Risk Insurance claims against the
Government carried over from the
World War, and National Service
Insurance beneficiaries' disputes
from World War II.
Commissioner William R. Harr,
with one assistant, aids the court by
investigating insurance claims, pre-
senting reports and advising the
court on the law involved in each
case to simplify court procedure. He
has a backlog of only 100 cases at
present, most of them carryovers
from the war of 1917-18.

District Selective Service is having
trouble with draft-age fathers of
illegitimate children, a draft spokes-
man disclosed today.
Under recent draft rules, he eX-
planned, fathers of illegitimate chill
dren rate a ga (father) deferment.
Whether from reluctance to con-
fide in their draft boards or because,
until recently, their fatherhood
would not have deferred them. the
men are not revealing their status
until they reach the induction sta
ton, the draft official said.
So far this week, he added, half
a dozen men have said they were
fathers of illegitimate. children
when they were asked about father
hood at the induction station. They
were not inducted, pending investi-
CATION of their claims.
The spokesman warned that here
after men will have to tell their
story to their draft boards or go
into the Army. He pointed out that
registrants are obliged to tell their
draft boards about ANY change of
status" if they want to be deferred.

Immediate Start on New
Receiving Home Requested

The Rhode Island Avenue Citizens
Association last night reaf1irmed its
request that the District Welfare
Boards plans for a new receiving
home be put into effect immedi-
ately. Mrs. Charles H. Pierce, who
made the motion, said small minor
ity groups apparently are delaying
construction on the grounds that the
boards present plans do not provide
adequate segregation. Mrs. Pierce
asserted that provision for segrega-
ton is more than adequate, and
that if action is delayed much longer
the District will lose appropriations
for the home.
Fred T. Devine, delegate to the
Federation of Citizens Associations,
advised his group to withdraw from
the Federation. "It has become just
a political setup to get District
suffrage" he said. Mr.. Devine chal-
lenged members to tell him what
the Federation has done for their
area in the last 10 years" No action
was taken by the group.
The group elected officers as fol-
lows: President, Chester F. Bletch;
first vice president, w. A. Eisen-
hart; second vice president, Mrs.
Pierce: treasurer, j. A. Duerksen:
secretary, Wallace E. Parry: assist
ant secretary, Mrs. Charles j.
Bovine; financial secretary, Joel G.
Winkjer; delegates to the Fedora
tion of Citizens Association, Mr..
Devine and Kenneth Buker.
The group renewed suggestion
for more mail boxes in the area and
asked that Central avenue between
Carlton and Clinton streets be paved.
The meeting was held at 2004 Rhode

D. c. Seeks to Borrow
Park Strips for Housinq

Possibility of borrowing narrow
strips of park or other public land
to construct 900 temporary dwellings
for veterans was under considera-
ton at the District Building today
as a means of preventing the Dis
trict from going into debt over the
project.
The Commissioners announced
yesterday they would seek author
ity from Congress to borrow up to
$500, 900 from the Treasury if neces-
sary to arrange the housing for the
veterans, but any plans to avoid
going into debt over the matter
were understood to be welcome.
The dwellings would be erected
by the Federal Public Housing Ad-
ministration but the District must
furnish the streets, walks, sewers
and other facilities, under an act
of January 2.
Assistant Engineer Commissioner
Joseph D. Arthur, jr., suggested to-
day the possibility that strips of
land about rs feet deep might be
borrow from the parks as temporary
sites, with the understanding the
dwellings would come down as soon
as the need ended.
If such arrangement could be
made, it was pointed out, the city
would be saved the expense Of land
purchase. The location would prob
ably be convenient and streets,
water, sewer and other facilities
would be near, it was added, thus
reducing or eliminating cost to the
city.
Search for suitable site for the
dwellings is under way but no de-
cision has yet been made.

D. {. Representation
Is Facing Delay in
Senate Committee

Action by the Senate Judiciary
Committee on the Districts national
representation proposal probably
will be postponed from January %
to February 4, Chairman McCar-
ran said yesterday.
The delay of a week, suffrage
leaders said, would give that much
more time to round out the cam
palgn now being whipped iI.to
shape by the newly formed Central
Suffrage Conference.
McCarran Wants to Be Present.
Senator McCarran, Democrat, of
Nevada, expects to be away on off,
cial business January %, and he
said he wished to be present when
his committee acts on the report of
the subcommittee headed by Sen
ator Hatch, Democrat, of New
Mexico.
A more compelling reason for
the short delay, he said, was that
too many important subjects have
been assigned for action January
~. UnQer a plan adopted some
weeks ago his committee was sched-
uled to act that day on all pro-
posed constitutional amendments
recommended by the Hatch Sub
committee.
Separate Sessions Planned.
Senator McCarran said he con.
sidered it would be better for al
concerned if a separate session wer,
ordered for action on the Distric
suffrage proposal and another OF
the equal rights for women resolu'
ton. He has tentatively planned tt
schedule a session on the latter
resolution January 81, a week ear.
lier than previously planned.
The suffrage proposal, sponsored
jointly by Senator Capper, Repub.
lican, of Kansas, and Representa-
tive Summers, Democrat, OF Texas
chairman of the House Judiciary
Committees, would enable Congress
to grant the District representation
in the House and Senate and a vote
in presidential elections.
