grain purchased for future delivery
about double the present require

tightened margin requirements, but

Secretary Anderson.
In Chicago, j. o. McClintock
president of the Chicago Board OF
Trade, termed "ill advised and
highly presumptuous" the commit

Mr.. McClintock. who said he was
speaking as an individual and not
as president of the Board of Trade
asserted:
Price advances in grain have
not been caused by speculation In
the futures market, as has been
charged; they have been caused
by the heavy demand in the cash
grain market"
A spokesman for the Distilled
Spirits Institute said sufficient aged

last about year at present con-
sumption rates despite the so per

Secretary Anderson estimated that
farmers could save between l30,-
000,0 1000 and 200,000,000 bushels OF
grain in livestock feeding operations
between now and next October
This would mean reduced meat
supplies for domestic use.
The secretary said the farmers
could make the savings by market

dropping for the time being the
practice of feeding beef cattle to
the stage of higher grades.

of health officers of the District,

lington Golf and Country Club, in
clude abolition of the Vidal test
for typhoid which has been required
for all handlers Of the milk that

The group discussed the possibil-
ity of taking chest x-rays Of dairy

that the associations builder, whom
he identified as George Lyles, had
assured him homes in that case
could be built for the remaining
$500.
At this point Mr.. Carr arose and
said he thought he would be "dere-
lict in my duty If I didn't question
you about some points"
"I agree there are homes on the
market now that sell for $4,000
that only are worth $8,000," he de-
cIared, "but with increased costs we
still only make a 10 per cent profit.
We have bulldozers, machinery
labor and-I think you'll agree-a
little more experience, but we'll
never be able to make 331s per
cent profit"
Invites Inspection,
my books are open to any one, -
he said II invite you to have an
auditor go over them, and If you
can find that I have ever averaged
better than 10 per cent on a job,
then I'll buy all the drinks.
And I tell you right now" he
added, you can't build a six-room
house for $6,500."
When the wife of a participant in
the program later got up to ask
what would happen if the associa-
ton didn't have enough money to
finish project, Capt. Wilson said:
THAT will be my fault and your
husbands fault and the fault of all
the rest of us in this program. It's
a veterans program and we've got
to make 1t work."

McGinnis Says Few
Senate Appointees
Have Been Removed

Senate Sergeant at Arms Edward
F. McGinnis said today that "only
a very few" Of the approximately
$50 Senate employees who received
dismissal notices actually have been
removed.
He disclosed that he has appoint
ed only five or six Capitol policemen
and that no decision has been made
as yet on the appointment OF a new
police captain.
The letters sent out by Mr.. Nc
Ginnis last Friday notified the DEM
ocratic appointees as policemen,
elevator operators, pages and others
that they would be retained on the
payroll until today but could con-
tinue in their present jobs If no re-
placements were made Immediately
Notice Is Explained.
Mr.. McGinnis declared today that
"this notice didn't automatically
fire those people as of January Is"
He explained that the intent OF
the notice was to inform them that
they would not be discharged prior
to January Is and might be retained
for some time after that date.
The task of replacing Capitol po-
licement, Mr.. McGinnis said, is
especially difficult and cannot be
done overnight" He. added that
some of the policemen may be re-
tanned for several weeks before their
successors are appointed.
Democrats Procedure Recalled.
This system of notifying patron
age employees of their prospective
discharge differs considerably from
the practice followed by the Demo-
Gratis when they took control OF
Congress, Mr.. McGinnis asserted.
He said the Democrats termi-
mated the employment of numerous
Senate employees very suddenly"
Mr.. McGinnis repeated his earlier
assurance that ex-servicemen who
are dismissed from Senate jobs viii
be replaced by veterans wherever
possible and that deserving en-
ployes who are trying to complete
their schooling probably will be re-
tanned until June. He said he did
not have detailed figures on the
number of veterans or students af-
fected by the dismissal notice.

Domestic workers are going to be
given a chance to learn all there
is to know about homemaking under
a plan now being worked out by
the Washington Urban League and
the Washington office Of the United
States Employment Service.
The theory behind a proposed in
stitute, explained Livingston E.
Beane, industrial secretary OF the
Urban League, is simply that If a
maid is, more efficient, she will be
able to hold onto her job and make
more money because she's better
trained. -.
For the housewives, it will mean
getting a household worker VINO
knows how to plan menu, market,
cook. set the table, look after the
children and take telephone mes
sageS.
Confident of Placement.
Ernest v. Connolly, associate chief
of the local USES, said the employ
ment Office would help to get train
ees for the course and would find
Jobs for them, once they were
trained. Mr.. Connolly, who super
vised a similar training program in
Pittsburgh, said he was confident
every one who took the course could
be placed. .-.
The teacher and a model apart
ment to be used as classroom Wni
be provided by the public schools.
Edgar p. Westmoreland, director OF
vocational education in the colored
schools. said the model apartment
set up in M. M. Washington Voca-
tional School would be made avail
able. He said a teacher would be
found who had actually earned
wages for doing the work she would
be teaching.
Since the women would be en-
ployed already or looking fol-. work,
Mr. Beane explained. the course WILL
be given at night-probably one
night a week to start, although the
school system would be willing to
provide teacher and classroom three
nights a week.
Six or Eight Subjects.
Under the program now being
worked out, the first institute Will
cover six or eight understanding
from the intangibles that go to make
up "jewel' in the home to the
specific details of home manage
ment, Mr.. Beane said. Later, cook
ing or child care will be the subject
of an entire institute.
Mr.. Beane explained the size OF
the institute will depend on how
many domestic workers are far
sighted enough to know that home
making issan art.
Sponsorship of the institute, he
said, fits In with the Urban Leagues
program Of expanding job opportun-
titles for Negroes as well as enabling
them TO hold onto Jobs. Az long as

$5, 900 bond on charges of false pre-
lenses and larceny after trust in

tinuance and increased bond after

Boards 10 Offer
Budgets for New
Center in April
Estimates for Congress
To Give Conversion
And Operation Costs

The District Recreation Board
and the Board of Library Trustees
are expected to have estimates for
the maintenance, remodeling and
operation of the E. v. Brown School
ready for Congress in April.
This emerged from the monthly
meeting of the Recreation Board
yesterday, as it empowered its
special E. v. Brown committee,
headed by James E. Schwab, board
vice chairman, to act for the board
in conferences with the library
board on the estimates.
On the advice Of District Budget
Officer Walter L. Fowler, who serves
ex oficio as a member of the board,
the agency decided to break the
estimates into two groups-one to
finance work prior to June 80 on
the joint library-recreation project
at the old school building and the
other to finance operation of the
new center, during the next fiscal
year.
Work on the estimates was given
new impetus by the fact that the
District OPA was to leave the school
building today.
Jubilation of board members over
the progress Of the E. v. Brown
project to date was dampened yes
terday, however, by the knowledge
that the 1947-48 budget sent to
Congress last Friday contains no
request for money to purchase a
recreation center for the Cleveland
Park area.
The board was informed by
Thomas G. Jeffers, recreation plan
ner and landscape architect for
the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, that the Bud
get Bureau had chopped several
hundred thousand dollars" in park
and playground requests from the
budget on the plea of the Commis-
sioners they did not want to incur
additional Indebtedness at this time.
Among the omissions was the money
for the Cleyeland Park play center.
Long Campaign Waged.
Residents of the Cleveland Park
area have waged a campaign for
the last several years to have the
commission purchase prop
erty for the center. There is little
in the area except one or two small
children's Fairgrounds. The Bell
estate has been mentioned promi-
nently as possible purchase site.
At the Commissioners request,
Mr.. Jeffers told the board, the Bud
get Bureau whitfield the park and
advance requested under
the terms of the Capper- Cramton
Act down to SIS, 900 only.
The District has paid back to
the Federal Government virtually
all of the some $11 ,000, 600 advanced
to- the planning commission for
such land purchases since 1880.
Discussion OF land purchase funds
and the predicament of Cleveland
Park came as the board prepared
to answer a resolution by the Con-
necticut Avenue Citizens Associa-
tion, in which the civic group ire
the board there is no recre-
alton center of any nature in the
Park area and asked that
funds for purchasing available land
be included in the 1948 budget"
