For Holiday Drivers

tious over the Labor day week.
end.
Ninety persons have been
killed in traffic accidents so
far this year," Sheridan said,
compared to 106 persons killed
by this time last year. This is
an Improvement" he added,
"but traffic accidents still con-
tinue to take too high a toll"
Sheridan further listed some
precautions to be observed b.
the motorists if they plan to
have a safe holiday:
l. Make sure that your car
is in good mechanical condi-
ton before starting the trip.
2. Start sooner, drive slower,
and live longer.
3. Arrange to have a sober
person drive the car, in cass
of any drinking.
4. Avoid taking trips that will
be too long or firing, because
one of the worst causes of &C
cidents is sleepiness on the part
of the driver. Get plenty OF
sleep and don't over-eat.
S. Watch for and heed all
traffic signs and signals.
6. Avoid parking on the high
way, but if trouble develops
pull as far as possible to the
right shoulder of the road.
7. Stay at all times to the
right of the center line, except
when overtaking and passing.
8 If travelling at night, be
sure to dim your headlights
when you approach another car
from the front or from the
rear.
Don't Let Death Take Your
Holiday.

Civil Service RuIinq
Urges Restoration Of
Douds 10 NLRB Job

The Civil Service Commission
today recommended to the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board
that Charles T. Douds, former
NLRB regional director in New
York, be restored to his job.
The commissions action climaxed
a two-year fight on the part of Mr..
Douds to regain the job he lost in
February, 1945, when the NLRB
Board, by 2-to-1 vote, ordered his
removal "to promote the efficiency
of the service"
Although the commissions ruling
is not binding on the NLRB, COM
mission officials said they were in
formed previously by the agency
that it would abide by whatever de-
cision the commission made. NLRB
officials were not Immediately avail
able for comment today.
Last year the commissions legal
division recommended that Mr..
Douds be reinstated, but the NLRB
appealed to the commissions Board
of Appeals and Review. Today's de-
cision sustained the finding of the
legal division.
Mr.. Douds' discharge from the
NLRB on charges of incompetency
brought storm of protest from
labor leaders, including Philip Muir
ray, head of the CIO. and William
Green, president of the AFL. Their
contention that Mr.. Douds was
highly competent to fill his job was
backed by the decision of Alfred
Klein, chief law officer of the COM
mission, who said in his findings:
There was dissatisfaction in Mr..
Douds' Office before he arrived, and
bad morale that offered fertile soil
for discord. The fault was not his
and the primary responsibility lay
elsewhere"
Mr.. Douds was represented by the
Washington law firm of Schoene,
F'reehill, Kramer and Fanelli.

by the Assoeioisd Press

PEIPING, Feb. 25.-China's top
military men went to Peiping
today to plan an offensive
against Chinese Communist
armies. One official said exist
ence or death for North China
depends on the outcome Of the

in field dispatches as plans went

tending government power over ter
ritory now held by the Reds.
Shantung Province is still the
present prime objective, with
Shansi, to the west, likely to be next
in line.
Hottest of the scattered battle
grounds was the important Poshan
coal-producing area of Central
Shantung Province. There field
reports said $4,000 Reds were clos
ing in on government positions.
In all, government military sources
said, more than 100000 troops under
Communist Gen. Chen vi had been

CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-The Govern
ment's two top housing officials,
speaking here today before the an
nual convention of the National
Association of Home Builders, de-
clared they believed construction
costs would soon level off and might
begin to decline.
Housing Expediter Frank r. Cree
don told builders he expects that in
the next few months cost will "level
of, If they do not actually decline" 7"
On the same program, Raymond
M. Foley, National Housing Admini-
strator, said as to costs: There
appears no good reason why they
should rise higher and there ap-
pears to be many good reasons why
they should begin to decline"
Doesn't Expect Sharp Drop.
Asserting the cost problem is the
big challenge to builders, Mr.. Foley
said he doubted, however, there
would be a sharp price drop.
TT is not indicated prices will fall
fast, or need to fall far for the
building industry to make progress, "
he said.
More than so Washington area
home builders are attending theses
sions here. Three delegates, Edward
R. Carr, Waverly Taylor and Donal
L. Chamberlin last night were elect
ed association directors.
Mr.. Carr, reported in the lead
among candidates for president Of
the organization, said in an inter-
view today he believed the biggest
problem facing Washington home
builders this year was shortage
of workers.

craftsmen available today as we had
in 1942, our peak building year, &C
cording to Government figures" he
said.

He said costs are a problem, but
there seems to me no way to pre-
dict the Forthcoming trend

Music Used by u. 5.
To Re-educate Nazis

Music is a strong weapon in the
re-education of German youth, at
least in the American zone, H. R.
Baukhage, American Broadcasting
Co. commentator, told the Washing
ton Music Teachers Association at
the Willard Hotel
THE American Military Govern
ment is making every effort to bring
good music to German children in
an effort to instill democratic prin-
ciples through cultural education, -
he said. German performers and
musicians have shown great inter-
est in American music"
However, he said, German teen
ayers don't take to jazz. He attrib-
uted this to the fact that jazz was
forbidden under the Nazis.
1.-The Americans are having to
overcome the feeling inculcated by
the constant propaganda of Hitler
and Goebbels that only German
music could be great music" he said.
He discounted the young people
who grew up under Hitler as "lost,"
but said those now growing up will
get a broad musical education. The
Germans have one advantage, he OBJ
served, in that the parents interest
themselves and even participate in
the cultural education of their
children, whereas in the United
States the parents leave too much to
the schools.
Discussing the relationship be-
tween music and world peace, Mr..
Baukhage said we must achieve a
mature inter-personal relationship
before we can achieve international
understanding.
We must first establish communi-
cation between peoples, he said.
And music is certainly a part of
that communication.
