Chess Notes

the Hotel Gordon, not many years
ago the leading chess organization
of the District, now is concerned
only with the social aspect of chess,
putting its concerted effort into
sessions of bridge. 1t retains, how
ever, facilities for chess and serves
as host to the regular meetings of
the Interhigh Chess Association.
A flourishing chess club is num-
bered among the lively recreational
activities of the Government Print
ing Office. Chess may be played
any evening, but Monday Is the
regular night of meeting. William
Field is the president and principal
livewire of the club, John Coder
secretary. A huge tournament of
80 players, divided into five sections,
is in progress to determine whether
the present champion. r. D. Chal-
font, will succeed himself.
Georgetown University has a Wig
orous chess club and team, spon-
sored by the university librarian,
Phillips Temple, with Friday eve
ming for the regular weekly session.
Matches have been played with
Loyola College at Baltimore and
with Howard University at home. A
championship tourney is in pros
pect, with Richard Cantwell, spear
head of the team and a regular
condottiere of the divan, favored to
win. The young man chiefly re-
sponsible for the outburst of chess
activity at Georgetown, William
Krivoy, has just graduated, and
Robert Lynch has taken over as
president OF the club.
The Interhigh Chess Association
has just terminated its annual
tournament, in which seven teams
battled, with the victory of Wilson
High. Russell Church, the victor
in internecine strife at Wilson,
thereby became the individual cham
pion of the association. Russell is
one of the most rapidly improving
players at the divan, and is reported
to be causing Messrs. Berliner and
CantWell some apprehension.

which stood for many years at the
southwest corner of Fourteenth and
c streets S.W., the site Of the more
recent building of the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, over which
Alvin w. Hall presides as director.
This picture he found only recently.
AS early as 1843, this old man
sion was occupied by Maj. Parke G..
Howle, United States Marine Corps,
whose wife inherited it from the
Motley Young family, one of the
earliest and most extensive owners
of ground taken for the Federal
Capital as well as for other large
buildings within the District.
The wife of Maj. Howle was the
daughter of Ann Young, the
daughter Of Motley Young. Ann
married Peter Casanave or Gaze
move. One of the Young tracts in
the District was known as budding
ton Pastures, lying in the Southwest
section. A description of this early
farm tells us that it commenced
at a point on the Potomac River
at the junction of Fifteenth and c
streets, and that it comprised 800
acres.
Motley Young built mansion on
this tract about 1756-shortly after
he married the daughter of Nicholas
Digges. 1t was ION the bank of the
river in what is now known as G
street, between Ninth and Tenth
streets S.W." He was born about
1877 and died in 1902, and was
first buried in the family lot, near
the southeast corner of square No.
800, between Ninth and Tenth and
G. and H streets. Later, his son-in-
law, Robert Brent, first Mayor Of
Washington, who had married his
daughter Eleanor, had the remains
transferred to Carroll Chapel Gene
terry, near Forest Glen, Md, where
they repose today in an unidentified
grave. BY his first wife, Motley
Young had six children who grew to
maturity. His second wife was the
daughter of Daniel Carroll Of Marl-
boro and the sister of Archbishop
John Carroll. o'
Died a Wealthy Man
Motley Young died wealthy, and
among items mentioned in his will
he left his daughter Ann square
No. 232 upon which she built the
Young Casanave mansion. After
the death of her husband, Mrs. Cas-
anave gave over the mansion to her
on-in-law, Maj. Howle, who in 1927
was adjutant and inspector, United
States Marine Corps, and took up
her residence in frame dwelling
in the block to the south. An idea
of Motley Young's fortune may be
gained by the fact that the census
for 1890 shows that he owned 245
slaves.
The mansion was a stately, pic
turesque residence of the Coloniai
type, built of light brick, the porches
and porticos being covered with
wistaria and Harrison's yellow roses.
One of its last occupants was John
M. Young, a carriage maker OF this
city.
In referring to this old mansion,
an early writer says:
There was nothing shoddy about
these people. The girls were ma
lures noble women. The boy. Parke
Howle, named after his father, I
used to play with"

It would extend rent controls
until April 30, 1949 and retain the
present system of enforcement by
the Federal Housing Administrator
and local boards. These points are
not in dispute.
But both criticized and supported
are these provisions:
l. Allowing tenants and landlords
to sign leases running through next
year with no limit upon the rentals
Critics say this mo limit" provision
could be abused under the Nation
wide housing shortage.
"Automatic" DecontroI.
2. Allowing an automatic" decon-
troll in any city or area where the
Census Bureau found that / per
cent or more Of the ordinary dwell
ing units are available either for sale
or rent. This would bring decontrol
in many cities and rent control
areas.
8. Allowing automatic rent in
creases of up to IS per cent If
property owners could show their
operating costs had risen 30 per
cent or more. If the cost increase was
under 80 per cent, the rent boost
would be half of that figure.
4. Removal of all controls over use
of materials for building theaters or
other "amusements or recreational
facilities" These now are subject
to permits from Federal housing Of
ficials in order to save materials for
building homes.
S. Removal of controls from all
dwelling units renting for $50 a
month or more. Some Senators say
this decontrol figure should be at
least $225 monthly.
6. Removal of all controls from
some 100000 properties where
tenants agreed to increases of up
to IS per cent in order to obtain
leases running through this year.
The Is per cent increase was allowed
by the present act with automatic
decontrol at the end of the lease.
Senator Cain refused to make
public copies of the subcommittee
recommendations, but other Sena-
tors said a rooming- boarding house
decontrol provision defined these as
accommodations without kitchen
privileges"
Also decontrolled, they said, would
be rooms in single dwellings that
are not classed as rooming or board
ing houses,

Russia Offers 10 Pay
u. 5. for 81 Ships,
|Aqrees 10 Return 3
By the A,soeiotsd Press

Diplomatic authorities said yester-
day that Russia has now offered to
buy 81 ships she got from the United
States by wartime lend-lease.
Russia,s holding on to the ships
has been a point OF controversy
for a long time.
| Authorities said Moscow offered
to buy the 81 in agreeing belatedly
to return to hte United States seven
tankers and one cargo ship. The
State Department has begun nego-
tiations.
| No barrier to the deal was fore
seen by offlcials-unless Congress
objects-aside from agreement on
terms. Members of the House Mer-
chant Marine Committee have pro-
tested Russia's attitude in the past.
They heard testimony a year ago
that the United. States asked for
return of the ships on March 18,
1916.
The ships are mostly of the Lib
erty type and have been carried on
Maritime Commission books as sur
plus since Russia got them to de-
liver lend-lease materials.
Talks on the ship deal are still in
preliminary stage. A sale would
be separate transaction from any
general settlement of Russias SILL
zoe, 100000 overall lend-lease ac-
count.
Lend-lease negotiations, revived
with the arrival in December of
Ambassador Alexander S. Panyush-
kin. have been making slow pro-
gress. officials said the United
States and the Soyiets are far
apart" in their ideas of what would
be a fair settlement.
Arrangements are being made,
meanwhile, to regain promptly the
eight vessels which Moscow agreed
this week to return. Seven are oil
tankers and the other is a prewar
Italian cargo ship which is to be
turned back to Italy. All but one,
which is in the Mediterranean, are
in Far Eastern ports.
Protest Relayed to Toxic.
Moscow's latest protest, charging
American aircraft with 10 specific
acts of low flying over Soviet ship
ping near Japan, has been relayed
to Gen. Macarthur for a report.
Prospects are that a reply to the
charge that these flights violated
freedom of commercial naviga-
tion" will be delayed for two weeks
or more. 1t is the latest in a bar
rage of Moscow protests against
American military actions abroad.
The United States rejected three
others.

'0n .Rooming Houses
Hit by 7 Senators
BY the Assoeioied Press

A proposal to end rent controls
on all boarding and rooming houses
brought sharp protests yesterday
from Senators Fulbright, Democrat
of Arkansas, and Maybank, Demo-
crat of South Carolina
Both told a reporter they will
insist that this provision be re-
moved from Senate bill to revise
and extend the rent control law.
They are members of the Senate
Banking Committee which has
agreed to vote a week from tomor-
row on the bill prepared by a five
member subcommittee-after pos
sibly redrafting it.
THAT provision would boost the
rents for thousands of college stu
dents. Most of whom are GIs," Sen
ator Maybank said. That's one
control that certainly must be re-
tanned in full force
Few Can Afford Higher Rent.
Senator Fulbright said in sepa-
rate interview that he would oppose
UIl6 pIOt1SIOll 1Ol cAll1Ao4 ACdooAAc'
Very few college students can az

Senator Fulbright was member
of the subcommittee which handed
the controversial bill to the full
committee Friday. But he said he
had not approved this and certain
other controversial sections.
Chairman Tobey of the full Bank
ing Committee said no agreement
could be reached at closed-door
session late Friday.
Present rent controls expire Feb
ruary 20, leaving less than two weeks
after the next committee session for
Senate and House debate and presi-
dental consideration of the extern
sion.
