 Leon Keyserling, a native Of South Carolina, former Secretary to Senator Wagner, and who has had a long experience in the gov- ernment, chiefly in the U. s. Hous- ing Authority. A liberal, Keyser- ling frequently disagrees with more conservative Chairman Nourse.
 John D. Clark, a native of Colo rado, and former economies profess sor at the University of Nebraska and the University of Denver. Clark usually lines Up with liberal Key serling
 However, the Council has com- posed its differences to recom- mend a program to President Tru- man which it regards as absolutely essential to block depression. While all three agree, Dr. Nourse consid- ders the voluntary phase of the pro- gram more important, but Keyser- ling and Clark, though not disagree ing. would place more emphasis on the Government phase. The v.o

S3,050 for inventing and develop
ing device which improved the
operation of antisubmarine sound
equipment
MT. Russell, who lives at 350s
Perry street. Mount Rainier. Md.
also was awarded a letter of ap-
probation from Navy Secretary

The award. made under the
Navy's Beneficial Suggestion Pro-
gram, was presented by Rear Ad-
miral David H. Clark, chief of the
Bureau of Ships.
A previous award of $275, the
largest amount which could be

cember. 1913. The new sum is
the largest cash award yet pre-
sented to a bureau employe and

partment worker.
Mr.. Russell's electro o-mechanical

The turn of the century came

They were the first couple mar

reception is destined to be one of
the last events there, because the
congregation will move next
month to a new church building
on Westmoreland Circle at Mass

More than 200 friends crowded
the front rooms of the church
and stood in a long line to con-

Many had moved away from the
Mount Pleasant neighborhood
years ago, and were meeting old
friends they had seldom seen
since.
When Robert Young was mar

Pyramid Club Craze,
Now in Washington,
Checked for LEGALITY

United States Attorney George
Morris Fay has started an investi-
cation of the latest money-making
craze, Pyramid Clubs, to see if
there is anything illegal in the
way they are operating here.
Mr.. Fay disclosed yesterday he
had been informed that the theor-
etical process of making s2.oS4
in IL days has moved into Wash
ington. He has ordered an in
vestigation, he said. Ito see if any
action is warranted on the facts. ="
The Pyramid Club, 1949 success
sor to the chain letters of 1885,
started in California and has
swept across the country.
S2,O84 for 81.
According to the experts, an
outlay of 81 is supposed to bring
in return of $2,O84. but that is
only theoretical. There is always
the chance that professional con-
fidence men will get in the act, or
some one will walk off with the
funds before the pyramid reaches
its peak.
Pyramid club members are re-
cruited at parties-doughnuts and
coffee in the towns, cocktail par
ties in places like Washington.
This is method of avoiding the
mails and the fate of the chain
letters which the Post Office De-
partment put out of business.
The pyramid clubs follow the
progressions system of the old
chain letters. A man recruits
two friends, each of whom recruits
two more. They each recruit two
more. That makes a pyramid of
Is persons to start the action.
The man at the top of the pyra-
mid gives a party from which he
collects 81 each from the eight at
the bottom of the pyramid. That
entities him to progress to the
next pyramid along with the other
people who gave parties the day
before.
More Parties Needed.
Meanwhile, his two original
friends each give a party, collect
their So each and join their friend
on the list of party givers.
This keeps up for IL days
with the pyramid splitting down
the middle each day. All guests
are given charts and lists so they
will know how the progression is
going, where they stand on the
list and where to deliver the So
collected when they reach the top
of the pyramid and give their
party.
Theoretically. man at the
bottom of the pyramid one day
is at the top three days later and
eight days after that is at the
top of the list of all pyramid
heads or ex-party givers.
The catch, according to stu
dents Of the pyramid. is that more
than 100000 people have to get
in the club for him to collect all
of the $2,048.

expire in 1851.
Terms to Vary.
Under the bill, members would

thority was vested in the county
commissioners until 1945."
Another bill would transfer title
to the Silver Spring liquor dis
pensary building from the Liquor

Board Lists 1877
S|un1 Buildings
For Elimination
Early Action Slated
On. .702 More Very
Bad Structures

The District Board for Con-
demnatlon of Insanitary Buildings
has launched a campaign to rid
Washington of slum-type homes.
First on the boards schedule
are 1877 structures it hopes to elm
mate either by razing. repairing
or vacating, the three-man board
told the Commissioners yesterday.
5000 in Buildings.
There are about 7O2 other very
bad" buildings. all located within
a mile and a half of the Capitol,
which the board hopes to get rid
of next, according to Assistant
Engineer Commissioner Carlin H.
Whitesell, jr. These buildings, he
said. house an estimated 5000
persons.
The 702 buildings referred to by
Col. Whitesell are those buildings
about which residents have COM
planned. Col. Whitesell said there
are many others. but few District
employees are assigned to the work
of locating and inspecting the in
sanitary buildings.
William H. Cary, jr., director
of public health engineering, said
there are four steps in forcing ac-
ton on the insanitary structures.
Notices Required.
They are: Inspections and re-
ports by inspectors on building
Deficiencies; a second check by the
board itself; issuance of notice
giving individual owners 10 days
in which to show cause why a
building should not be condemned
and formal notice of condemna-
ton giving tenants Is days in
which to vacate if no satisfactory
reply is forthcoming.
Col. Whitsell said the board has
decided to take more determined
action to bring about corrections
of insanitary conditions now that
more plentiful building supplies
are available. The board will not
only force more repairs but will
insist on repairs of higher quality
than have been made some times
in the past, Col. Whitesell said.
