Baby Clinic Attendance
Shows Sharp Increase

The number of children who vis-
tied the Child Welfare Society's
baby clinic at Children's Hospital
during April was third greater
than for the same month in 1946,
Miss Caroline Sweeney, supervisor,
has reported to the society's board.
The total for the month was 825,
she revealed.
The increase was greatest In the
immunization clinic, she said. There
1t was almost SO per cent. Part Of
the rise she attributed to the New
York smallpox scare and part to the
fact that the clinic since January
has been giving tetanus immuniza-
tions.
Miss Sweeney said there has been
no staff increase to balance the In
creased use. Of the facility.
Miss Sweeney said the society In
cooperation with the Summer Out
ings Committee OF the Family Serv-
ice Association, is giving preliminary
physical examinations for some Of
the 480 children scheduled to visit
Camp Good and Camp Pleasant this
sommer. Providence Hospital also
will give these examinations, she

To Capitol Next Week

A Recommendation for continue
ton Of rent control here during 1s4s
will be sent by the Commissioners
to the Capitol early next week.
The city heads agreed yesterday,

tinue the controls which otherwise
win expire December 81.
Their action follows public hear
ing in which tenant groups OUT
numbered opposing landlord groups
2 to / IN asking another year Of
ceilings In the District. Landlords
asked expiration OF local controls
when national controls go out and
q 10 per cent increase in rents.
The delegation also is in line with
the recommendation OF Rent' Ad-
Robert F. Cogswell, who
told the Commissioners the present
housing situation requires another
year Of rent ceilings.
Rufus s. Lusk, of the Building
Owners and Managers Association
Of Metropolitan Washington, how
ever, branded the action great
mistake.

he said, I'VE will continue to have
the terrible housing mess that exists

Goodman Urges That USES
Be Kept in Labor Agency

Robert G. Goodwin, director of the
United States Employment Service,
appeared before the House Expendi-
lures Committee today in support of
President Truman,s reorganization
order to retain that service in the
Labor Department.
The service was transferred under
the Presidents war powers from the
War Manpower Commission to
Labor after vi day, but the war
powers are expiring.
Before the Manpower Commission
was set up the Employment Service
had been moved by a 1899 reorgani-
cation plan into the Federal Security
Agency on tie theory that one OF
its chief functions was applying the
work test to applicants for unem-
ployment compensation. That 1899
plan, which provided for consoli-
dating the functions Of USES with
the unemployment program, was
called a mistake" by Mr.. Goodwin.
Representative Judd, Republican,
of Minnesota said the committee
has testimony from others who say
it was not a mistake. Mr.. Goodwin
replied that he disagreed with that
testimony.

sion will be mutual one with GSI,

Month Ending April IS

Retail food prices here dropped
05 per cent in the month ended
April IS. according to Bureau of
Labor Statistics figures.
Nationally the drop amounted to
0.8 per cent, the bureau reported.
The decline in Washington left

April Is, were exceeded only by the
record levels of a month earlier.
They still were 3 per cent above
mid February figures, it added.
Dairy Products Decrease.
A decrease of almost per cent

from mid March. Flour was up by
more than per cent from March
Is and its price was more than so
per cent above that Of April, 1916.
A continued shortage Of fats and
oils, particularly the vegetable varie-
ties, sent prices up another per
cent.
Vegetable Prices Rise.
The advance Of vegetable prices
amounted to 0.4 per cent, but onions
were up ~ per cent and potatoes
10 per cent, because of weather
damage and decreased acreage, the
report stated
Depleted egg storage stocks
prompted a rise of 80 per cent.
although eggs usually decline at this
season, 1t was added.
The national retail food index,
for which the 1935-39 average is
100, stood at 1873 as against 1895

dex was 1894, as against 1903 q
