Unspent Funds
Sought 10 Save
Veteran Center
100000 Credit Gone
Commissioners Must
Appeal to Congress

The Commissioners moved today
to settle the financial woes of the
District Veterans Information Gen.
ter, resulting from the recent dis
covery that a 100000 credit they
thought they had under the old
Blackout Act of 1912 no longer
exists.
They said they would ask Chair
man Mcmillan of the House District
Committee for legislative authority
to use any unspent moneys credited
to the District in the Treasury, and
not otherwise appropriated, to
finance the center operations.
Last January the city heads for
warded to Mr.. Mcmillan proposed
legislation authorizing them to bor-
row from the Treasury the 100000
they thought they had still available
to them out of a 100000 total
blackout authorization. Since the
passage of the act the city had
borrowed and repaid a total of ST.
100000.
Recently, however, when Audi
tor A. R. Pilkerton investigated the
possibility of a loan, it was discov-
cred that the credit had been wiped
from the records by joint resolu-
ton of Congress a year ago, which
curtailed air raid and blackout funds
on Nation wide basis.
Acting on Mr.. Pilkerton's recon-
mendation, the Commissioners will
ask Mr. Mcmillan to change the Ian
guage of their January legislative
proposal to permit them to use any
leftover unappropriated funds for
the center instead of the vanished
blackout money.
From leftover Civilian Defense
funds of about $4,000, Mr.. Pilker-
ton told the Commissioners the
center, which has become a clear
ing house for thousands of veterans,
could make out probably until the
end of the fiscal year. He said
expenses at the center were in
creasing at a rate of about $1,000
month, however, and held out
little prospect that this money
would last beyond June.
The Commissioners have indi-
Gated through spokesman their
determination to keep the center
open until the need for it no longer |
exists.

A 14-year-old boy, Joseph M. Con-

the body while playing in the sand
pile about 2:30 pm. yesterday. The

L. A. Grub, a Soldiers Home po-
liceman with the 18th precinct
officer, dug up and identified the
body. He said Williamson habitu-
ally took long walks in secluded por-
tions of the reservation and was
known to carry pistol on his walks.
No pistol was found on or near
the body, but an empty whisky bot
tie was near the sandpile. William
sons wallet was missing, but police
said an expensive gold watch, bear
ing the initials ''F. A. M" was found
in his pocket.

lice was Wililamson's pair of gold
rim glasses. The spectacles were
unbroken. The paving brick was
found under his head.
Soldiers Home authorities said a
thorough search had been made for
the man after his disappearance
was noted from Sherman Hall, his
dormitory. Fellow residents told re-
porters they thought he had gone
"AWOL."

located, police said, was dredged

Labor Shortage Ends in Capital;
Many Low-Poy Jobs Still Open

Washington today became the
last of the big cities to lose its war
time classification as an area where
there were more jobs than workers
to MI them.
Fred z. Hetzel, Washington area
director for the United States EN-
ployment Service, announced that
demand and supply of workers and
jobs here is nearing a balance for
the first time since early in the war
Up to now Washington has been
classed as a critical labor shortage
area"
While there are still untitled Job
openings for many workers, par
ticularly in the lower-Wage brackets
he said, the surplus of men and
women seeking better paying jobs is
growing.
Jobless Claims Increase.
On one hand, he said, the number
of job seekers jumped from 14,800 in
December to 24,500 in January and
unemployment claims, not including
servicemen, increased by nearly 100
per cent
On the other hand, he added, the
demand for workers in the trades
and services previously forecast to
continue through the spring has
been slow in developing, except in
the hotels, restaurants and depart
ment stores.
Employers are now beginning to
specify age ranges for prospective
employees, particularly women, and
educational requirements which
were not specified when there
weren't enough workers to go round
Mr.. Hetzel reported.
Male job seekers far outnumber
the women, although a check OF
Government offices reveals that
