lABC Board 10 Hold
a Protest Hearings
On Liquor Licenses

Four protest hearings against the
granting of liquor licenses will be
held this week by the Alcoholic Bev-
erage Control Board, according to
Alan w. Payne, chairman.
The outstanding case to be heard,
he said, probably will be the protest
against granting license to the
Hot Shoppe, 1910 Connecticut
avenue NV. to dispense light wines
and beer. This hearing will be held
at 10 am. Friday.
While the Hot Shoppe formerly
has held licenses for each of its
six restaurants in the District, it
never has sold beer or wines even
after paying the annual license fee
of 5000 for each restaurant. The
licenses have remained in the Office
of the ABC Board. This year the
Hot Shoppe has applied for only one
license-for its Connecticut avenue
place-but officers of the concern
say there is no likelihood it would
be used.
One of the officers said yesterday
that the Hot Shoppes cater mostly
to families and their children and
that the application for the renewal
of the license was merely routine
proceeding. He said there was no
immediate plan to sell beer and
wines, but that they thought they
would be protected by the license
if, at any time, their patrons de-
manded the beverages.
Tomorrow at 10 am. the board will
hear protests against the license
issued to Gardiner S. White, trading
as. Bob White Sea Food, at 1431-35
H street NV. Inspectors have
charged that he sold liquor for con-
sumption off the premises, while his
license allows him to sell alcoholic
beverages only on the premises.
Tuesday at 10 am. the board will
hear charges preferred by police
against James Kausen, 229 Pennsyl-
vania avenue Sc, that he per-
mitted his place of business to be
used for unlawful purposes.
Thursday at 10 am. George A..
Gerachis is scheduled for hearing
on a charge he sold drinks to an
intoxicated person.

|WAA 10 Speed Sales
Under New SYSTEM;
Certification Dropped

The War Assets Administration
last night announced speed-up
plan, effective March /, to sell set
aside surplus property to veterans
on a regional basis and merely on
presentation of discharge papers.
The agency also prepared to sell
Camp Croft, near Spartanburg, S. c.,
March 26 in a new system designed
to cut the average real property dis
posal period from six months to
six weeks.
Veterans heretofore have been re-
quired to be certified by their dis
trict offices If they wished to buy
the scarce goods that are periodically
set aside for ex-servicemens per-
sonal use. War Assets Administra-
tor Robert M. Littlejohn explained
the new ruling whereby they will
need to show only their discharge
papers at the sale site.
"By this simplified means, 15,000,-
600 veterans are potentially able to
purchase set-aside items. In the
interest of equitable distribution, it
will be necessary to supplement the
national set-aside list with a re-
gional set aside list" Mr.. Littlejohn
said.
The national set-aside list will be
continued, Mr.. Littlejohn explained,
but each regional Office will prepare
a list of materials mot readily OBJ
tainable through regular CONNER
cial channels and which are suit
able for veterans personal ors sbusi-
ness use"
Sale of Camp Croft, where thous-
ands Of men took basic training
during the war, will be stepped up
by dividing the property into IS
groups of related structures and
realty, Mr.. Littlejol1n said. The lot
includes approximately 752 buildings
and 1904 acres of land, with utility
system. The War Department
turned over the camps to WAA less
than three weeks ago.
Prospective purchasers may bid on
any or all of the units except the
utility. distribution systems, which
are for sale "as is, where is" Mr.
Littlejohn reported that consider
able sentiment exists in Spartanburg
for community purchase of much
of the area as a veterans housing
project or for industrial sites.
Sealed bids from the public will
be opened March 26 at Camp Croft.
Priority groups such as Federal
agencies, state and local govern
ments and nonprofit institutions
will have from February 81 to
March 8 to purchase parts of the
property at "fair value"

62z Million in Jobs,
Record Production
Predicted for 1850
By the Associated Press

A work force of 62,50O,00O in 1850
capable of producing 80 per cent
more goods than before the war
was forecast last night by the
monthly Labor Review published by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The figure is far in excess of the
goal of 60,000,000 jobs set by former
Vice President Henry A. Wallace
and 100000 more than recorded
in the census of 1910.
If the predictions are correct
the review thinks that, compared
to 1916: 'Stc
/. Wages could be increased.
2. The investor. could obtain a
greater return on his money.
8. Prices could be slashed.
4. Taxes could be reduced but
the Treasury would be richer.
Maintenance even of the present
high levels of employment will re-
ouire production in many indus
tries well in excess of any previous
peaks, the review says in articles
to appear in the February and
March issues, entitled Full En-
ployment Patterns, 1885,"
Long-run growth was considered
likely both in the size of the labor
force and in output per man per
hour. The latter would accompany
the continuing increase in techni-
cal knowledge and application OF
that know-how to the jobs.
"A larger, fully employed labor
force working prewar hours at
higher productivity levels neces-
sarily implies a vastly increased
level of production" the bureau
said.
Estimating that the volume of in
dustrial production might be 80 per
cent above that of 1899, the review
points out there would be consider
able variation among industries. The
level of aircraft production, for ex-
ample, probably would be increased
much more than 80 per cent, while
coal production could not be ex-
pected to increase by similar
amount"
The review acknowledges it's fore.
cast for 1850 is not sure-fire-tha
it has made specific assumptions
which, although reasonable, canno
be regarded as certain" For ont
thing, the articles assume that tht
Nations workers generally will b.
on a 40-hour work week.
For many industries these level.
of production could be met only
if present capacity were appreciably
expanded" the review said.
High levels of demand must b.
kept up in order to sustain the pro-
duction which the bureau predicts
too. The results of the analyst!
show that "a balance between con,
sumer savings and the investment
! needs of industry may require ap.
plication of a greater proportion o.
consumer income to current pur'
chases at each income level than be
| fore the war"

Justice Laws Urges
Doctors 10 Aid Courts
On Three Problems

Chief Justice Bolitha J. Laws oi
District Court last night called on
the medical profession to aid the
courts in solving the vexing prob
lens of alcoholism, divorce and
mental health.
He also pointed to the problems
arising from veterans who are
brought into court charged with
offenses without the proper service
background being given judges who
are called upon to decide their
cases, but he said plans are now
afoot to remedy this situation.
Chief Justice Laws was the prin-
cipal speaker at the banquet and
alumni reunion of the George Wash
ington Medical Society at the May
flower Hotel
Declaring these tremendous prob
lens (of alcoholism, divorce and
mental health strike at the very
root of our Nation" the jurist urged
his hearers to build "a great temple,
not only of justice but of mercy"
Full Study of Cases Urged.
He asserted not only veterans but
every civilian as we'll is entitled to
full study of his case to enable an
intelligent decision to be made by
the presiding jurist. In this, he said
the medical profession can play an
outstanding part.
Chief Justice Laws expressed the
hope "the time Is coming when the
doctor and the lawyer and the
Judge of learnings and discernment
and high estate can give their study
to these tremendous problems" He
declared their solution calls for the
talent of men of high vision and
understanding and men who want
to build up humanity and extend
the soft touch of mercy"
The jurist asserted that sit is an
utterly shocking thing that this
National Capital has gone through
the program OF repeatedly sending
victims of drunkenness to jail, year
after year, with no solution OF this
problem"
Cites Divorce Rate.
He said the divorce rate in the
United States is appalling" and
added that the District is leading
it to large extent. He advocated
that couples having marital trouble
seek medical advice. He said the
trouble may often be traced to dis
torted personality"
DR.. j. Burton Glenn, society
president, presided. DR.. Walter A
Bloedorn, dean of the School OF
Medicine, in bringing greetings,
said that the new George Wash
ington University Hospital, now
under construction at Washington
Circle, is expected to be ready for

man of the Hospital Equipment
Fund, reported that some $4,000

$400 900, DR.. White recalled. The
goal is 1925, 900 to equip the new
hospital.

is that Soviet reaction and pos
sible countermoves against U. S.
policy in Greece and Turkey may
be withheld pending decisions in
Congress.
Capitalization of American pol
icy obviously will not be final I'M

ments with President Truman,s

ing the situation are receiving
much attention in the local press.
Secretary of State Marshall
may seek to improve Soviet
American relations in outside
talks with Russian leaders after
the conference shakes down to
normal routine.
He is expected to bring up such
subjects as the American request
for settlement of lend-lease; re-
lease of lend-lease Ship; with
drawal of Russian troops from
DARN, Manchurian seaport, and
conditions in several eastern Eu-
ropean countries, particularly
