Santa Claus has middleman-
the Christmas Bureau OF United
Community Services-to dig out
the wants Of needy District young
sters from his pile of Dear Santa"
correspondence.
The 27-year-old bureau, located
in the basement of the red-brick
building at 1101 M street NV.
also tells generous residents of
Washington the ''how, what, where
and who" answers on proffered
gifts. ~
Volunteer women workers have
been handling requests and be-
quests all this month in their CO.
ordination job. The requests of
institutions and family agencies
will be stopped tomorrow and
those of individuals on Saturday
in order to insure the arrival of
gifts at their destinations .on
Christmas.
What can I do with a $25 credit
at fruit company" woman
asked Mrs. Eve Berkenbilt, bureau
director last week. The gift soon
was changed into four bushels of
fruit which will go to two settle
ment houses, colored and white.
Requests Are Practical.
Community houses and other
agencies sent in their children's
needs to. the bureau on application
forms. A quick glance through the
files show dearth of stray yearn-
ings for a toy car or a life-size
doll. Their desires are realistic.
One settlement house has fire.
place and no wood, another, a rec
ord player and no records and
third has no chairs for its nursery
school children.
Car token money is wanted for
occasional trips around Washing
ton and for the circus when it
comes to town. Blocks. other play
materials, all types Of sports
equipment. books and film for pro-
jectors are high on the want"
list.
In sitting the wants" and
"gets," bureau workers report that
the teen-ager is being overlooked.
Toys for the diaper set come in by
the truckful every year while
scarves, ear muffs, an inexpensive
compact or billfold-those things
which would give less fortunate
high school boys and girls sense
Of equality-are scarce.
Babies in Demand.
The baby group is more in de-
mand in another function of the
bureau that selects young guests
for special parties or Christmas
dinners in private homes. The
bureau workers. say that because
the babies are shy, they prefer to
give them holiday parties in
familiar surroundings.
Another point that is stressed
is that youngsters in private in
stitutions such as orphanages. are
booked solid for the two weeks
around Christmas. The child in
an underprivileged home will ben
efit most from well-heaped plate,
they say.
Letters from individuals are sent

Mother Calls for Toy.
A child no longer has to be en-
barrassed by the spirit Of char
ity. His mother is notified by card
when to appear at the Army's
centrally located "toy shop"
There, the choice is hers from the
array of dolls, games and other
toys. She takes it home and her
youngster never knows how 1t got
under the tree or at his place at
the table.
The bureau sends its stack OF
requests and bequests to dis
tribution center which, this year,
is warehouse donated for De-
cember by the Smith Transfer d
Storage Co.
In shifts, about 20 volunteers at
the warehouse sort the toys &C
cording to age groups. They are
picked up by the requesting
agency, institution or the Saliva
| ton Army for distribution.
Hundreds of dollars are being
wasted in wrapping gifts picked
up by the center, workers said.
The wrapping must be removed
to sort the gifts and Mrs. Ralph
Hagerman, chief Of distribution
work, and her assistant, Mrs. Mary
B. Goode, ask that the wrappings
be included with the toys so they
can be wrapped again after they
have been sorted.

CATION in public housing. PHA's
forthcoming policy will leave the
matter of segregation to decision
by local authorities.
Must Provide for Both.
The PHA spokesman made clear,
however, in answer to a question,
that If a community should plan
to build only single public hous-
ing project and there was existing
need for low-rent housing for both
Negro and white families, the new
policy would require that mem
bers of both racial groups be ad-
mitted in equitable proportions.
Under such circumstances, how
ever. a community which wished
to maintain a policy of racial
segregation would undoubtedly
build two projects to provide for
the racial groups separately. the
spokesman said. In a number of
communities having as few as 100
public housing units, the dwell
ings are in two separate projects,
he explained.
The Governments old racial
policy on public housing, in con-
trast to the forthcoming new reg
ulations, placed considerably less
emphasis upon occupancy ratios
than the new policy contemplates.
Under the old low-rent program,
total of about 185, 900 units were
built, of which about $1,000, OF
IS per cent, are occupied by Ne
gro families, and the remainder
by white families.
Finds Past Treatment Just.
Referring to the previous policy
governing construction subsequent
to enactment Of the United States
Housing Act in 1887, the PHA
spokesman said he thought very
just treatment was achieved in the
past so far as equitable provision
Of housing to the various races
was concerned" but that there
was not the same feeling about
discrimination then that there is
today.
The old policy provided that
prior to ALLEGATION of Federal
funds. a local authority was re-
quired to set forth how the prof.
ects it wished to build would serve
low income families, with ap-
propriate regard" for the equitable
treatment Of racial groups.
However, the PHA spokesman
said, the old policy never was "ex-
plicitly stated all in one place.
and its effectiveness was largely
a matter of intent and administra-
ton by responsible people"
Under the new law, housing
agencies are required to give
preference to families having the
most urgent" housing needs.
Need to Be Reflected.
Therefore, PHA expects that
since Negro families in substan-
dard dwellings are often relatively
worse off, from the standpoint Of
type of substandard dwellings,
than white families, this greater
urgency" Of need for Negro hous-
ing will be reflected in the Fed
erally-approved ratios for certain
areas.
Census figures as to the volume
and racial occupancy Of substand-
ard dwellings will be used, to-
gether with data which may be
available with regard to urgency
Of need, In working out a basis
on which Federal approval may
be given, the spokesman ex-
planned.
1T will really be a matter of
balancing one fact against an
other to find out whether the

Two Fugitives Sought
After Marshal 5 Wife
Is Slain During Arrest
By the As,oeioted Press

LUxORA, Ark, Dec. 10.-The
search for man accused OF kill
ing q one armed town marshaps
wife and shooting two officers
shifted today from the countryside
along the Mississippi River to
Memphis, Tenn, 60 miles away.
Mississippi County Sheriff Will
liam Bergman said Memphis
officers had been alerted to pick
up Eddie Hall, colored. Another
colored man, he added. told of
taking Hall, woman and a boy
to Memphis after the shooting
last night. ,'
A posse with bloodhounds
sought Hall along the river levees
throughout last night and early
today.
The manhunt started soon after
Mrs. Joe Mcdaniel, 81, was shot to
death beside a cotton field. She
was driving her husband. his as
sistant and three Negroes to the
jail at nearby Osceola.
Lynching Feared.
She gasped out to her husband,
"Oh Joe. I'm gone," then slumped
against his shoulder, dead. A split
second later, Mr.. Mcdaniel and
Ralph Williamson were shot. Two
OF the Negroes fled.
AS the posse took up the hunt,
Deputy Marshal Horace Lindsey
said he feared a lynching because
Everybody around here is reused
up" Deputy Sheriff Dick Forbes
said, Some of them want to lynch
him but don't think they would
"a lot Of law-abiding people live
around here"
In a Memphis hospital, where
the two men were taken, Mr.. Will
hanson said the shooting was
done by man known only as
Shorty" Sheriff Bergman did
not definitely identify Hall as
Shorty"
Deputy Forbes gave this account
VI Tie SIlOOClQGS. -
Mr.. Mcdaniel received a call
from a colored man nicknamed
Son." who said Shorty" had
threatened him at a night spot,
an old. unpainted barn.
Prisoners In Rear Seat.
Mrs. Mcdaniel, a taxi cab firm
operator. took the two marshals
to the scene in a cab. Shorty"
Son." and the wife of Shorty"
were put in the car and they all
started to the Jail, with the
Negroes in the back seat and the
others in front.
Shorty" had been searched,
but not his wife.
Then. Deputy Forbes said,
came the shooting. "Son" drove
the wounded officers to aid after
Shorty and his wife escaped.
Mr.. Mcdaniel was reported in
critical condition with throat,
shoulder and arm wounds. Rela-
tives said his right arm probably
will be useless. He lost his left
arm when he was 13.
Mr.. Williamson was not cri-
tically injured. He suffered a
head wound.
Mrs. Mcdaniel frequently drove
her husband on calls because Of
his disability.

NEW YORK.-Engineers report
that ordinary radio tubes do not
function at all satisfactorily when
used for ultra high frequency re-
ceivers. That is the range from

They say the chief limiting
factor is excessive inter- -electrode

to put it simply, the elements that

Goods Produced
I'm Mcdowell County
Show Added Value

The value added by manufacture
of goods produced in manufacture
ing establishments of Mcdowell
county has increased by approx
mately $7,912,000 since before the
war, according to information re-
ceived here from C. Parker Par
sons, Regional Director of the U.
S. Department of Commerce in At
lanta.
A Census Bureau report from it's
1947 Census of Manufactures
shows, Mr.. Parsons said, that in
1889 the value added by manufac-
ture of goods produced by manu-
facturers of Mcdowell county was
$3,301 900 and that in 1947 it was
$11, 213,OOo. The term "value add
ed by manufacture means the
value of manufactured goods in ex-
cess of the cost materials. and sup
plies, the Commerce Department
official explained.
Most branches of Mcdowell
county's manufacturing industries
have grown correspondingly in the
eight year period, it was stated.
The number of establishments en-
gagged in manufacturing opera
tions has increased from 25 in
1889 to 81 in 1947, the number of
employees from 2467 to 3185, and
salaries and wages paid from ST.
6O5,15O to $5,452,00O.
The Census Bureau report, cop
of which are available at the Unit
ed States Department of Commerce
offices in Atlanta and Charleston,
South Carolina, at 20 cents copy,
also reflects the rapid strides made
by North Carolina industrially
since before the war. For example,
the value added by manufacture
of goods produced in the State as
a whole increased by more than a
billion dollars since 1889, going
from valuation of $544,181 900
in that year to $1,646,673,000 in
1947. Also, the number of estab-
lishments engaged in manufacture
ing operations has grown from
1925. in 1889 to 1922 in 1947, the
of employees from 294,314
to 381, ,480, and salaries and wages
paid from $246,834,2O6 to $685.
