$4,000 Families Invited
10 Get Free Chest x-Rays

While Congress and District off,
cials debate the appropriation OF
funds to help finance a mass tu-
berculosis survey here, $4,000 Dis
trict families are being invited this
month to get their free chest x
rays in advance of their neighbors.
The families are policyholders of
five insurance companies affiliated
with the Washington Life Under
writers Association, Inc.
Statesmen from the insurance
concerns already have visited most
of the policyholders this month
with pamphlets on tuberculosis and
cards to remind them where to go
for free X-ray service.
The campaign was undertaken in
cooperation with the District
Health Department, Freedmen's
Hospital and the District Tuber-
culosis Association.
To prepare them for the health
education drive, statesmen from the
five companies took special course
on tuberculosis under the direction
Of DR.. Howard M. Payne of Freed
mems Hospital and DR.. Paul B.
Cornely of the Howard University
School of Medicine.

D. {. Prices Fell Slightly
In Month Ending May IS

/. Overall retail prices for goods and
services used by Washington fam
lilies with moderate incomes de-
creased 0.2 per cent in the month
ending May Is, according to a re-
port made yesterday by the Labor
Departments Bureau of Statistics.
The figures show that prices were
IT'S per cent higher than the figure
for May Is last year. The only in
crease in the family budget was a
IL per cent rise for miscellaneous
services. This is accounted for by
the higher streetcar and bus fares,
the report points out.
The family food bill was down 0.8
per cent during the period, the
Labor Department said This slight
decrease was accounted for by the
drop in retail prices of fats, oils,
dairy products, sugar and some
sweets. Although overall retail meat
prices decreased "fractionally" dur
ing the period, prices for this item
were still So per cent higher than
year earlier The period preceded
the recent rise in meat prices.
Clothing costs remained the same,
the report showed.

D. c. May Try 10 Sell
Armory toU.5., Ending
Battle Over Control

{ The Commissioners may try to
sell" the 50, zoe, 900 District National
Guard Armory to the Federal Gov
ernment.
This was disclosed yesterday as
an outgrowth of the Koran Sub
committee of the Appropriations
Committee hearings on the National
Guard Budget for the year begin
ming July 1.
If agreed upon by the city heads,
the plan would supersede their ear
lier plan to fight to the finish with
National Guard officials for control
of the big drill hall during periods
when 1t is not being used for guard
purposes.
No Authority Over Guard.
The theory of turning the build
ing over to the Federal Government
for what it cost the District taxpay-
ers is based on the fact that the
Commissioners, unlike the Cover
nors df States, have no authority to
call out the guard. Here, that au-
thority rests with the President.
Thus, although the city has to
maintain the Armory and pay. the
salary of the commanding general,
it has no authority over the guard
operations.
At least one of the three Commis-
sioners likes this solution and will
try to sound out his colleagues on it.
Chairman Horan, Republican, OF
Washington, meanwhile, is entering
the dispute from the money angle.
He is disposed to support the Com
missioners against the Guard In the
matter of collecting fees and rents
from the hall when not in guard
use.
Before his subcommittee is an item
Of nearly 5000 900 for maintenance of
the Armory.
Recently Returned to ID. c.
The big drill hall, taken over by
the Federal Government in 1943 be-
fore 1t was complete and used during
the war by the FBI. is located at
Twentieth and East Capitol streets.
1t was turned back to the District
last week.
The Commissioners already have
before the Budget Bureau a bill to
spell OUT the authority their legal
advisers tell them they already have
over the building.
Brig. Gen. Albert L. Cox has said
he will fight the idea of civilian con-
troll of the Armory declaring that In
no other jurisdiction is there other
than military control Gen. Cox
wants the income from commercial
use of the building to go into a re-
volving fund for guard purposes.

Political Action
 Emphasized At ILCWU Session
However, Third Party Not Seen As Immediate
 Likelihood

CLEVELAND-The need for in- creased political action looking toward possible formation of a third party was urged on delegates to the Int Ladies Garment Workers Unior (AFL) convention here in report by the unions executive board. In at tendance as the unions 26th conven- tion officially got underway were delegates representing 100000 ILGWU members, gain of 95,00O members since the last gathering three years ago.
 Although the executive board re. port said it did not consider fOrma. ton of third party an immediate likelihood, ILCWU Pres. David Dubinsky told reporters that this view might be changed if the Taft. Hartley bill becomes law.
 Referring to its call for independent political action through strengthened coalition of union and liberal groups the board report praised the Ameri cans for Democratic Action as lar instrumentality through which tha- ideal could be most effectively attained at this hour"
 Concern over the threat of a de. pression was evident in the report which declared that ''unIess some joint action by industry aimed al price reductions is carried out soon another drive for higher earnings in all the basic industries is bound to sweep the country before this year is over." The report called on delegates to emphasize bringing prices down rather than to press for further wage increases.
 The board criticized "the pro-Rus sian appeasement sentiments advocated by Henry A. Wallace and his follow CTS" and accused the Soviet Union O. menacing world peace and security The report also included an attack or Gov. Thomas E. Dewey (R) of New York for his anti1abor stand.
 Among the recommended amend ments to the constitution was on, specifically providing that the union employer-fnanced health and welfar fund be limited solely to welfare ac tivities and not be drawn on for strike. or any other general union purpose.

LOS ANGELES = CPD - Ir the first court decision since adoption of the restrictive portal-to-portal pay act, Federal Judge Paul J. Mccormick ruled that employers must pay for time spent in preparing for work despite the new law.
 The case involved claim by AFL watchmen against the California Ship building Corp. Union attorneys said that guards and fremen were required to report for work Is to 30 minutes before their shifts began and were en- titled to pay for that time.
 The company argued that the new law deprived the court of jurisdiction but the judge ruled: Congress did not have in mind destroying compen- sation. It had in mind not giving com pensation for things that were beneh- cia1 to the emp1oye and not beneficial to the employer"
