Improvements from the current
administration reorganization, Maj
Barrett declared, will not reflect
necessarily in the department bud
get but will definitely show an i'm
provement in the service rendered ~
The primary object, he explained,
is to consolidate operations to get
better supervision and expedite
handling of department business
1t is a matter of using manpower to
the best advantage, he said.
1.-THE handling of emergency calls
will be expedited" Maj. Barrett said
"and the followup of such calls will
be assured through central con-
troll. The use of policemen in cler-
ical duties will be confined to ad-
ministratiye functions and to work
which requires comprehensive
knowledge Of police operations. As
far as possible, these positions will
be filled by men who have been in
jured in line of duty or who have
reached the age where they are nc
longer fit for street duty"
Othor Work Listed.
The superintendent's. report con-
sisted Of three single-spaced mimeo-
graphed pages. It summarized more
than score of other types of work
done by the department. 1t listed,
for example, the handling of 252 ap-
plications for licenses, 1,168 applica-
tions to purchase guns and 80 appli-
cations to carry guns. Another g.
45l licenses were issued to public
vehicle operators and 1881 for taxi
cabs.
The report noted 1896 char
acter Investigations for other agen-
cies and II "subversive activities in
vestigations. There were 1876 sui
eide Investigations and $50 at
tempted suicides investigated. We
hicle inspections totaled 19,154
during the fiscal year. A total OF

also vetoed Finland. Hungary, Ru-
mania and Bulgaria, opposed by
America and Britain, failed Of ap-
proval because they could not get
the necessary Affirmative majority
Of seven.
Today Russia's string of vetoes
stood at the total of, 20.
The Security Council was not the
only U. N. agency tied in knots by
the east-west row, however. The
57-nation General Assembly was so
badly deadlocked over efforts to fill
remaining prospective vacancies in
the Security and Trusteeship Coun-
cils that it gave up the whole effort,
called off temporarily any more
meetings in its big auditorium at
Flushing Meadows and returned to
Lake Success to committee work.
The main committees scheduled to
meet today were those concerned
with political and Palestine affairs
dealing with the Greek and Palestine
crises. In the political group session,
Dmitri Manuilsky, Ukrainian dele
gate, was scheduled along with II
other speakers to debate American
demands that the United Nations
act to protect" Greece against the
"aggressions" of its Soviet satellite
neighbors. He was expected to con-
tinue the Soviet attack on American
foreign policy and particularly the
Truman doctrine.
Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver of Cleve-
land, head of the American section
of the Jewish Agency Executive, was
due to present the Jewish case to
the special committee on Palestine.
The General Assembly broke of
it's efforts to fill various Council
vacancies late yesterday. Nine un-
productive ballots had been taken
in two days of the Security Council
contest between the Ukraine,
backed by Russia, and India, backed
by Britain and the United States.
Neither could get the necessary two
thirds majority OF the 81 Assembly
votes.
A second deadlock developed in
Assembly voting on Trusteeship
Council vacancies which will come
up at the end of this year as terms
expire. The Russian candidate for
the Trusteeship Council, Yugo-
slavia, was defeated on the first
ballot. Russia then reportedly
threw her support to Costa Rica in
an effort to defeat the Philippines,
which had Western backing, and in
the end there was no decision.
Assembly President Oswaldo Aran-
ha was reported hopeful that a
breathing spell would allow the
warning factions to find some way
out of their difficulties. He was
expected to allow q break of at
least two or three days-unless
some compromise formula turned
up earlier-before summoning an
other session at the, ballot box.

Committee, said his group would
take action at its next meeting.
Mrs. Sarah Newman, chairman o1
the Washington Committee fol

support of housewives represented
by her group. /
However, she raised the question
of whether they could effect any
material savings in food waste. "The
ordinary income of today doesn't
allow any waste" she declared.
Even more important than this
program is the reinstitution of price
control and rationing," Mrs. New
man said. She had an added sug-
gestion: "Stop farmers from buying
any wheat to feed their livestock
-" = This comes to us in the form
of fat on meat, which is wasted"

Mrs. Newman maintained that If
prices were placed under control
Europeans would be able to get

Receptions IN T1Vo Embassies
Mark National anniversaries
By Katharine M. Brooks

Traffic congestion on upper Mas
sachusetts avenue yesterday after
noon was caused by the receptions
given in two of the very popular
embassies of that section. The
Czechoslovak Ambassador and Nine.
Slavik celebrated the anniversary of
their country's independence while
the reception in the Iran Embassy
marked the birthday anniversary of
His Imperial Majesty Mohammed
Reza Shah Pahlavi.
The Ambassador and Nine. Slavik
were fortunate in having their
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr.
Jan MaSaryk to receive with them
The visitor is so we'll known and so
very popular in Washington that his
coming here is almost like coming
home. In fact, he probably has
spent more time in Washington in
the past 10 years than in Prague
for his was the Government in
exile after the invasion by the Ger
mans back in the 1930s. He spent
some years in Washington after he
came here as the first diplomatic rep
resentatiye of the new Czechoslovak
Republic following the Great War
and the circle of friends he made
then has grown larger with each
visit. Yesterday he explained the
silken sling which held his left
hand by shrug of the right shoul-
der and "Oh! Just a dislocated
shoulder" And when a friend of
long standing remarked How we'll
you look in spite of all your worries, -
he replied Il have kept my sense
of humor-and therefore 1 am able
to sleep at night"
The Ambassador and Nine. Slavik
with Mr.. Masaryk stood in the large
drawing room to receive their sew
eral hundred guests, the hostess
wearing long black gown with
high neckline and string of pearls
about her neck. Members of the
Embassy staff and their wives were
on hand to greet the guests and
see that they we're served And the
dining room was crowded through
out the reception hours The dining
table was laden with a number of
tea time delicacies and several of
the native dishes of CZechoslovakia
Mrs. Wilbur j. Carr, widow of the
last United States Minister to
Prague before the war, was there
having previously called at the Iran
Embassy. Mrs. McCeney-W Werlich
widow of another foreign service
officer who continues to make her
home in Washington, chatted with
some of the officers of the Polish
Army who were there and asked
them about Warsaw, for she said
You know, I lived there for three
years
There were as many from resident
circles at both parties as there were
from the official and diplomatic
groups The Honduran Ambassador
and Sonora de Caceres were among
