Federation Proposes
ABC Board Control ol
After-Hours Clubs
Group to Ask Law Fixing
Substantial Fee and
Regulation of Hours

The Federation of Citizens AS
sociations last night declared war
on after-hours bottle clubs"
The citizens voted to seek legis-
lation which would force these
clubs to pay a substantial fee
for operating privileges; would
allow them to operate only during
the hours applicable to restau-
rants licensed to sell liquor, and
would place them under jurisdic-
ton of the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board.
Harry N. Stull of the Stanton
Park Citizens Association, intro
duced the resolution. He said,
these clubs do not operate in
violation Of the law since there
is no law to cover them. Many
of them are not much more than
dives"
Group Opposes Plan.
Only opposition came from a
handful of delegates. led by Mrs.
Franklin G. Sartwell, of the Met
ropolis View Citizens Association.
Her association has said the solu-
ton lies in amending the ABC
laws to extend hours of sale to
such time as will eliminate the
necessity for citizens who seek
recreation late at night from pat
ronizing illegal, unsupervised
clubs"
Mr.. Stull said he opposed such
extension and was supported by the
Federation vote. He said his res
olution tried to express the feeling
of the people and the wholesale
liquor dealers of Washington.
The Federation asked Corpora
ton Counsel Vernon E. West to
draw up legislation which would
accomplish their objective.
The Federation also approved
a bill pending in Congress which
would raise from 10 to 13 the
number of judges on the Munich
pal Court bench.
Agree on Court Bill.
The group agreed with provi-
sions of the bill which said ap-
pointees Should have been resi-
dents of the District for five years
and should have practiced law
here during that time. A stand
was taken against another provi-
sion which would allow the ap-
pointment of two judges who are
non-residents. but who are men,
bers of the District Bar Associa-
ton or employed in the Federal
or District Government as an
attorney.
The Federation said its stand
would not eliminate an attorney
who was practicing law for the
Government, but only those who,
though lawyers, hold non-prac-
ticing jobs.
In other actions. the Federation:
Approved a $3.50 annual raise

Peace Terms
Negotiotors Agree,
But Union Meetino
Ends in Wild Scene
BY the Associoted Press

PHILADELPHIA, Sunday, Feb
20.-The international president
Of Philadelphia's striking CIO
Transit Workers announced early
today their To-day strike was
over-but his decision was over
ruled Is minutes later by the
local president who called for an
other meeting later today.
A giant mass meeting of the
strikers broke up shortly before 2
am. in wild confusion.
The workers had gathered to
vote on ratification of an Scent
an-hour wage increase agreed
upon last night by negotiators for
the Philadelphia Transportation
Co. and the Transport Workers
Union.
International President Michael
J. Quill called for a hand vote, and
then promptly announced the
strike was over and the P-T-C
equipment would start rolling lin
the morning"
Secret Ballot Demanded.
Local TWU President Andrew
Kaelin jumped UP and demanded
a secret ballot. He told the 1000
present a secret ballot would be
held on company property today
so that "all of the company's H.
900 operating employers will have
a voice in the decision"
In the vast confusion, no one
knew what had happened.
Announcement of the carrying
of the motion and impending
secret ballot was greeted by a
mixed chorus of boos and cheers,
after which members jumped onto
the platform and surrounded Mr..
Kaelin.
Shouts of mo and We've been
sold out" and The vote was
against acceptance" rang out in
Town Hall.
The company announced that
it would not operate until the re-
suits of the secret ballot are in.
Even after Mr.. Kaelin's an
nouncement and subsequent fran
tic attempts to adjourn the meet
ing, hundreds of union members
around the microphone,
but some one had cut off the
power. A half dozen policemen
arrived on the scene and dispelled
the milling crowd.
The CIO Transport Workers
Union walked off their jobs at
February 10.
Announcement Of the agreement
was made by Mayor Bernard Sam
uel at 9:45 pm, seven hours after
a marathon conference between
company and union negotiators
began at his City Hall Offices.
rs Cents Had Been Asked.
The union demanded a 25-cent-
increase when the strik-
ers walked out last week. The
company offered two cents. Pay
scales before the agreement.
ranged from $1.09 to $163 an
hour.
The differential had narrowed
to 6 cents before yesterdays ses-
sion.
A union spokesman said that the
strikers gained 10 fringe" bene-
fits in the agreement. He listed
the four main ones as:
l. Adoption Of one-year con-
tract. (The company had sought
to make the pact for two years
duration.)
Sick Leave Granted.
2. Agreement on sick leave pay
ment of $22.50 for each of the
first four weeks and $18 weekly
thereafter for a total of 100 days.
This is in addition to compensa-
tion payments. (The spokesman
said the union never before had
a sick leave clause).
3. Establishment of a guar
anteed work week with no lay
offs.
4. Allowance of $35 for each
employe for uniforms.
The spokesman said that the
union negotiators agreed to accept
the eight cent because it gained
a guaranteed work week and uni
form allowance, two of the main
benefits sought in the walkout.

In Virginia. the old Dominion,
storied land Of early American his
tory, there is an old tradition Of
the origin Of the Yule log that Is
retold every Christmas.
AS the family sits around the
Yule log and sips their Christmas
eggnog on Christmas eve. the an
cient legend is recounted again.
One very cold Christmas eve.
when the frosty wind howled across

sitting in his little cabin wishing
that he had fire to warm him.

might have the strength to 60 out
and find the unfortunate babe.

He bent down and touched the
child and . great new strength

seemed to give him wings - he
sped back to his cabin.
Arriving there. he placed the
child upon the bed, tenderly drew

the little one.
At that precise moment . great

into the fireplace. The little child

most brilliant fire the old man ever

Christmas carols express better
than anything else. probably. the
true spirit Of Christmas.
The word "caror' itself signifies
Joy and was originally used to &C.
company a dance. william Wallace
Fyfe concludes that the term carol
signifies a song Of Joy or exulta-
ton" Another definition states: "A
carol is hymn Of praise especial
ly such as is sung at Christmas In
the open air."
In England. which gave America
most Of its carols. they were some
times gay and sometimes convivial
until the time of the Puritans, who
tried to suppress the Christmas
spirit
After the Restoration, the re-
ligious nature OF the day was
for . time almost forgotten In
the reaction from Puritanism,
and the carol was temporarily
lost In the songs.
mere are many quaint customs
associated with the early carolers
that might be used today to break
the monotony Of going from house
to house singing Christmas hymns.
It was about the 10th century
that caroling became a Christmas
custom. and is supposed to have
been brought to England from Italy
by the travelling clergy. The first
real Christmas carol is attributed
to st. Francis Of Assist who made
q model of the Bethlehem manger
to help him tell his people the
Christmas story.

For a period beginning just when

there were in London and West

an exclusive right to solicit con-
tributions from the public.

. As . service to veterans 1 the

from the Veterans Administration.
For further information, veterans

VA DOMICILIARY CENTER
OPENED AT MEDFORD, ORE.
Opening of the new Veterans
Administration domiciliary CEN
ter at Medford, Ore, is expect
ed to relieve the patient load
in VA hospitals in the North
west by PROVIDING facilities to
care for veterans whose disabil-
tiles do not require HOSPITAL
ization or continuous medical
treatment, the VA reports.
The new VA domiciliary home
was built and operated as a
general hospital during the war
by the army. It was reopened
by the VA on February 20 as a
domiciliary center.
I In general, only veterans Suf-
fering from chronic, permanent
disabilities which prevent them
from earning a living will be
admitted for domiciliary care,
the VA said. They must be able
to care for their own ordinary
physical needs and require only
Incidental medical attention.
The VA urges veterans not to
apply for domiciliary care If
their disabilities require hos
pitalization or continuous med
ical treatment because only
enough infirmary beds will be
maintained to treat domiciliary
members. Emergency cases will
be admitted for treatment, but
will be moved as soon as feas-
ible to a VA hospital where
more complete medical facilities
are available.
Examples of cases eligible for
admittance to VA domiciliary
homes are veterans suffering
from heart trouble, arthritis,
epilepsy, blindness and others.
Not eligible for admittance are
active cases of tuberculosis,
cancer or veterans unable to
feed themselves with at least
one hand.
e Further details regarding adj
mittance to the VA domiciliary
center at Medford may be OBJ
tanned at any VA office or by
writing the manager of the VA
