Funds Contributed
Go to Support Of
Unwed Mothers

Only 10 days remain to attend
the annual phantom dinner OF the
House Of Mercy.
Guests attend" in the sense that
they send their gifts to the House
of Mercy in it's annual drive to raise
funds for its service to unmarried
mothers.
The dinner is imaginary and lasts
annually for the month OF February.
Through it, the House of Mercy gets
the funds it needs to care for un-
married mothers and their babies,
provide spiritual guidance and coun-
selling service.
The girls who come to the home
often have abandoned hope of as
|sistance from the fathers Of their
babies and the policy Of admission
is based on need.
Instead of spending money on a
benefit to raise funds for this care,
the Campaign Committee limits its
expenditure to printing and postage.
All the funds subscribed thus go
direct to the home.
So far, it was reported, the phan-
tom dinner has drawn warm re-
sponse from annual subscribers as
well as from new contributors. One
anonymous contributor clipped
picture of some babies to a $40 gift.

Fine Arts Commission
Supports Rezoning TO
Preserve Georgetown
By Nelson M. Shepord

The proposed rezoning of old
Georgetown to preserve its historic
residential character against new
invasions of trade is as important
to the preservation of our national
heritage" as the restoration of Will
liamsburg, Va, or Charleston, S. c.,
in the opinion of the Fine Arts
Commission.
Bearing in mind the approaching
sesquicentennial celebration in 1850,
the Fine Arts Commission yesterday
"deplored" the encroachment of
small stores and apartment houses
in certain portions of Georgetown
and formally placed itself on record
in backing up changes proposed by
the zoning Commission to preserve
the ancient character of the section.
Action was taken at the monthly
meeting of the group, which au-
thorized Chairman Gilmore D.
Clarke to write a letter of indorse-
ment to the zoning Commission.
The interest of the Fine Arts
Commission in preserving specimens
of Colonial architecture to be found
in Georgetown has been unWaning
for years. 1t is now taking a lead
ing part in restoration of the old
Francis Scott Key house. Members
of the commission feel many more
old homes will be. destroyed, un-
less areas of Georgetown are re-
zoned in conformity with proposals
now under consideration.
In the early 192Os. it was pointed
out, residential streets in George
town on which streetcars operated
were zoned commercial. On sec
ton of one of these thoroughfares,
famed for it's old residences-P
street.-The streetcar line already
has been abandoned.
To the zoning Commission, Chair
man Clarke wrote:
, "The Commission of Fine Arts
desire to place themselves on record
as heartily favoring the amendments
which the zoning Commission has
proposed in connection with the
rezoning of Old Georgetown in order
to encourage the preservation of the
historic residential character of this
notable section of the Nations
Capital"

President Signs D. {. Bill
Modernizing Insurance

President Truman today signed Q
bill to put the District on PAL
with the rest of the Nation in using
a modernized statistical table te
indicate money reserves which life
insurance companies must maintain
to pay their obligations.
District Supt. of Insurance Albert
F. Jordan said the old tables were
compiled in 1870 and, though modi-
fled since then, need revision be-
cause Americans now are healthier
and live longer.
The table, comprising several
volumes, is based on death statis-
tics of age groups. The new table
known in the insurance business
as the Commissioners Standard
Ordinary Table, is used all over
the country. Mr.. Jordan said the
District is the last place to adopt it
Mr.. Jordan said the law is moi
designed to raise or lower the
amount of premiums paid for life
insurance by the public. He sale
it will mean cash values may be
secured now earlier in the life oil
the policy than formerly, depend
ing on circumstances.

fected is being supplied to patients.

Nye, Other Residents
Oppose Apartment
Plan in Chevy Chase

Gerald p. Nye, former Republican
Senator from North Dakota and
now a resident of Chevy Chase, Md,
today expressed strong opposition to
a petition which would extend apart
ment house zoning in the area east
of Connecticut avenue and south
of Jones Bridge road.
The petition, filed by John H
Bacas, 1120 Eighth street Sc, seeks
apartment house use OF approx
mately five acres adjoining property
Of the Chevy Chase Land Co. which
was rezoned to apartment house
classification last month by the
Montgomery County commissioners.
The Bacas tract extends from the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad freight
line south to Coquelin parkway, east
to a group of lots fronting on Jones
Mill road and west to the Chevy
Chase Land Co property. A hear
ing will be held before the Com

in the Bethesda County Building.
Mr.. Nye said owners Of the ap-
proximately seven homes in his
community, just south of the Bacas
property, are united in opposition to
the request on the ground that it
would reduce the value OF their
homes.
"This area was primarily in
tended for single family home de-
yelopments," Mr.. Nye declared, '"And
we don't like to see it changed into
an apartment district"
He added that he and the other
home owners in his area plan to file
q formal protest with the county
commissioners and to appear at the
hearing.
Mr.. Basss' brother, Aris H. Bacas,
said the petition merely seeks a con-
tinuation Of the Chevy Chase Land
Co. zoning. He said plans are being
drawn up for construction OF be-
tween $50 and ITO apartment units
on the tract. 1t would be a garden
type apartment project similar to
that planned by the Chevy Chase
Land Co., Mr.. Bacas explained. II
