@ Fashion Notes

Flats remain more f1irtatiouS than
ever for the new year. You'll be
seeing bright plumes, tufted satins
and plenty of posies in the new
headgear.
Other hats seem to be a-glitter
with sequins and more sequins, and
there's no limit on colors in this
department. You'll find plenty of
silver and gold sequins along with
multi ones.
Hats in the shops look like. very
pretty boxes of bonbons. They
come in the prettiest of pastel
shades, champagne, beige, winter
white, pink, ice blue, aqua and
mocha. Any woman is certain to
find her dream hat among these.
+ Look also for swirling ostrich
feathers, but don't wear them I'M
less you're strictly the type, or can
find one turned to fit your face.
A black and white checked fitted
coat-red belt and buttons, round
collar-sticks its pockets out like
cornucopias on the fronts of the hips.
The same pocket line is used on a
gay, navy suit whose slim front-but-
toned skirt is built high above the
waist.
Pink is one of the most popular
colors in feathers and flowers be-
cause it's one of the most flattering
shades for every woman. Brunettes,
OF course, wear them best, but
when combined with hat of black,
green or gray, they can be ex-
tremely attractive on blondes too.
Don't skip the sequin-dotted veil
ing which is so shimmering and
gay If you want to look your most
romantic best for the season.
Hats may be pert and pretty, or
they may have a lot of head"
The one-sided silhouette is gaining
popularity, and of course the swirl
ing feathers help carry out this idea.
Snug boleros varied in all sorts
of ways are still very much a part
of the fashion picture. They are
popular not only in street clothing
but also in evening apparel, which
is enjoying such a comeback this
year.

Fish Net with Arm Holes

For arctic wear, to keep out the

ans Housing Center for at least an

pected no difficulty in getting the

Jackson was In MunicipaL Court

Hot Shoppe License
Is Renewed by ABC

Despite protests by church, civic
and school representatives, the Alco-
holic Beverage Control Board yes
terday issued a renewal of license
to sell beer and light wines to the
Hot Shoppe, 1910 Connecticut ave-
nue. NV.
The restaurant has had a license
for several years, but in recent years
has failed to use it, although the
license fee was paid every year.
Representatives of Home and
School Association of the Woodrow
Wilson High School, the Forest Hills
Citizens Association and the Wesley
Methodist Church protested to the
board that the restaurant was q
mecca for high school children and
they believed the sale of beer there
would be detrimental to the morals
of the students.
At a recent hearing, officials of the
Hot Shoppe said that the applica-
ton for the renewal of the license
was a routine matter and that the
restaurant had no immediate plans
to resume the selling Of beer there.
Beer had been sold there, but during
the war, due to the shortage Of help
and the scarcity of beer, they had
discontinued it..
The ABC Board also announced
the suspension of licenses for. two
dealers for selling beverages to in
toxicated persons. William. r.
Kplius, SIS Seventh street S.W.,
drew a seyen-day suspension, and
George A. Gerachis, 1898 Wisconsin
avenue NV. drew a f1ve-day .sus-
pension. Both suspensions are ef-
fective March 10.

0vercrowdinq Of School

Presidents and school committee
chairmen from six Southeast or
ganizations met last night to discuss
the alleviating of overcrowded con.
ditions at the Ann Beers School.
William j. Smith, president of the
Summit Park Citizens Association
which planned last nights meeting.
said various groups in the Southeast
section were interested in doing
something about the oyercrowded
school condition, but they needed to
unite to fight the problem.
The school, at Alabama avenue
and Thirty sixth place Sc, built to
hold about 325 pupils, is attended
by more than 500. The kindergarten
and first-grade students attend
school half-day. The citizens are
afraid the second and third grades

Hearings on Appeals
From 2O9b Relief Cuts
10 Begin Next Week

Hearings will begin next week on
appeals to the Department of Public
Welfare from persons who claim
they cannot exist on relief grants
which were cut by 20 per cent, effec-
tive today.
The department finished sending
the reduced allotments to $500 per-
sons here yesterday.
Under the 20 per cent cut, the
board announced, 1900 families with
an average of four members each
and $500 individuals receiving old
age and blind assistance will have
to get along on their reduced budget
despite the rise in the cost of living.
Deficiency Funds Sought.
The allowance for a family was
cut from $66 month to $50 which
would actually amount to about 80
per cent decrease on food and cloth
ing because rents remain the same.
The food and clothing allowances are
based on 1942 costs. Grants to in
dividuals were reduced to $32 a
month from $37. ,5r
Due to the sharp increase in the
number Of applicants for assistance,
the Board of Public Welfare an
nounced February 6 they would have
to cut aid to the needy by 20 per
cent on March ! and asked the
Commissioner to seek a deficiency
appropriation of $184,000 from Con-
gress to carry them through to the
end Of the fiscal year June 80. The
Commissioners asked Congress for
the deficiency funds, and hearing
before the congressional committee
on it are expected next week.
1948 Requirements Discussed.
New requests for aid during
February totaled $40 as compared
with 764 in January. The large re-
quests in January were due to the
layoffs in construction work here,
and unemployment CT those who
found work during the Christmas
holidays, the board said. The private
agencies are also carrying a heavier
load, which accounts for the drop
last month.
The Board OF Public Welfare
discussed 1948 budget requirements
at an executive meeting yesterday.
1t was decided that the needy would
require additional money on account
of the rise in living costs and they
decided to request $500, 900 to $400, 600
for the next year. This amount did
not take any new cases into ac-

Police Report Cleanup
OF Slot Machines
lin City Is Complete

Police said today they believed all
slot machines and certain types of
pin-ball machines known to them to
be games of chance have been re-
moved from the city.

|GI Job Preference
|BoIstered by Ruling,
Fleming Believes

A District Court decision ordering
that a veteran be given back a
Government job from which he
was fired 18 months ago was hailed
today by Civil Service Commissioner
Arthur S. Flemning as significant
increase in civil service power to
insure veterans jobs.
Justice F. Dickinson Let's handed
down the decision yesterday when
he ordered that Harvey A. Edge,
228 N. st. Asaph street, Alexandria,
be restored to a $7,341.6 go job with
the Civilian Production Administra-
ton. He was separated from a
similar job with the old War Pro-
duction Board under a reduction
in-force order. ~.
The Civil Service Commission
ruled that the. veteran had been
wrongly discharged and recon-
mended that he be rehired. The
agency agreed to take him back at
the original salary, but ruled that
he must take a new oath of office.
Refused to Take Oath.
Because this would have amount
ed to new appointment that would
have resulted in loss of his retire.
ment, seniority and leave benefits,
Mr.. Edge said, he refused to take
the oath and fled the legal suit.
Commissioner Flemming explained
that in the past the Civil Service
Commission has had authority only
to order investigations and make
recommendations on the findings.
This is an extremely significant
decision" he declared. what the
court has said is that the commits
sion's recommendation has the force
of directive"
MIR. Fleming said he thought the
Justice Department would carry the
case to higher courts for a decision.
Compliance Is Expected.
'eBut in the meantime" he pointed
out, II think the departments and
agencies. will follow the decision
pretty closely. It will demand much
more consideration than our direc-
tives have ever had before"
Frankly" he added, I'VE think It
puts some much-needed teeth into
veterans preference regulations"
While many Unemployment cases
have been brought to courts by
non Government workers, civil serv-
ice and court officials said this
was the first case totheir knowledge
that such a grievance has been
filed by a former service man in
Federal service.
Mr.. Edge, 40, and a World War
veteran, said WPB officials told him
he could not be re-hired because his
job no longer existed. He appealed
to civil service, however, because
