David Icenhower grew up to be Is
years old and about feet 10 inches
tall before he acquired hobby, but
he's really making up for lost time
with the one he has now.
The winner of yesterdays Soap
Box Derby is going to sharpen up his
red racer, "Peckerwood, for stab
at the world championship at Akron,
Ohio, August II.
Although he has mechanical
turn of mind and likes to fool
around" with electric motors and
such, David admitted after the race
he never went in for hobbies much
until he began to get interested in
the Derby just before the end OF the
term at Anacostia High School.
David, who lives at 1927 G street
Sc. and is the son of Homer A.
Icenhower, motorcycle policeman
attached to the traffic division, never
had raced before. He and Buddy
Cutshaw, q schoolmate, laid the
groundwork for two racers IN the
basement of Buddy's home, 713
Croissant place Sc, shortly before
their summer vacations started.
Neglected Their Meals.
Once school was out, David and
Buddy worked eight or 10 hours a
day and hardly had time for lunch
and supper Buddy, who did not
reach the finals. was one OF the
first to congratulate his pal.
David's mechanic was his elder
brother, Wayne, 16, who helped him
put final touches on the racer at
the starting line. His mother and
father were ON hand to cheer when
his Peckerwood or Woody" for
short. swept across the finish line
nearly two lengths ahead OF the
black racer OF 12-year-old Edward
Diehl of 3610 Lee boulevard, Airing
ton, the runner-up.
Young Diehl swallowed his dis
appointment like sportsman, and
there was a wide grin on his
freckled face when he went up to
shake hands with the winner. David,
despite the nonchalance with which
he folded his long frame into the
little racer at the starting line, was
feeling bit choked UP with excite
ment.
He managed to stammer a few
words into the radio microphone for
WMAL, The Evening Star Station,
as he received the trophy.
"It's a nice trophy" David de-
clared. Thanks a lott"

1917 Relief Cut Unless
Senate Boosts Funds

Unless the Senate adds 1882 900
to the House appropriation for
grants in assistance to Washington
needy persons on relief will have
their allowances cut 10 per cent
starting In September an official Of
the Board of Public Welfare said
yesterday.
The allowance for those on relief
now is based on the 1912 cost of
living, he pointed out, and there
may be great hardship if an ad-
ditional sum Is not granted.
The social work staff of the We'll
fare Department is reviewing the
cases on hand with a view to taking
some of the less needy off the re-
lief lists.
In the estimates sent to Congress
the board had asked for $500 900
for grants in assistance, but after
protracted hearings the subcommit-
tee reduced this figure to s1,934,0
and the House passed the bill with
the cut.
At the meeting of the Board Of
Public Welfare last month, Ray
mond F. Clapp, principal assistant
to the director, was ordered to ask
the Senate to increase the amount
originally asked by s217,000, with the
statement that this was the mini
mum with which they could operate.
Some of the items which the We'll
fare Department is considering cut
ting from relief rolls is money for
medical aid and special diets and
extra allowances for rents.
1t was pointed out that the Dis
trict spends less for relief than
most of the cities throughout the
country. 1t was estimated that out
of every S100 of income received by
Washingtonians, only 8 cents goes
for INDECENT relief. Oklahoma
spends most. It's rate being sl,20 for
every 500 of earned income. Wash
ington State is next with S1.16.

 One man who saw the barge Thur sday reported 1t to be one on wh ich he had serv- ed in the Aleutians. He said the crew had several times exper- fenced trouble in op- erat ing it, and fin ally abandoned it in Aleuti an waters when 1t appo ar ed about to found CT.
 However the craft remained of1oat, and the Navy Department later repor ted that it had sighted the derolict and had sunk it in target prac- tice.
 Exact identity of the barge could not be proved, however, for no serial numbers arc displayed on the hull.
