j. P. Hauck, Washington man
ager for the McShain Co., said the
signs were placed as part OF a
normal routine in building opera
lions. He said. he didn't know
anything about them being taken
down.
Mr.. Hauck said wire fence had
been run from the White House to
the iron fence near the northwest
gate and all of the area to the
east of the fence had been desig-
mated for the use of the contrac-
tor. The signs on the Pennsyl-
yania avenue front were erected In
that area.
Mr.. Hauck said the company
erects signs at all Of its jobs to
identify itself as the builder. He
said he knew of no objection to
those at the White House.

District 10 Reconsider

To Aid Cleanup Crews,
Draws Yearly Protests

The Commissioners decided
today to reconsider their l5-year-
old annual snow parking ban
which went in effect last Thurs
day, and to schedule public hear
ing on the subject.
Each year since 1884, parking
has been forbidden on certain ar
terial streets from 2 am. to Z am
for the three months beginning
December Is, to permit snow re-
moval forces to work unhampereo
in case of a storm.
Each year, protests arise owe,
the ban from those whose con.
venient overnight parking spaces
are denied them.
Keneipp Feared Tieup.
Traffic Director George E. Ke
neipp reluctantly" recommended
re-imposition of the ban this year
fearing that a potentially serious
traffic tieup might otherwise re-
suit, although he said he recog'
nized the disadvantages of it.
The" Star has pointed frequently
to the scarcity of snow in Wash.
ington during recent years in dis.
cussing the parking ban.
The Commissioners again this
year have received a number o.
complaints on the subject.

arguable point, but I believe were

No Further Plans for Him.
Although. Admiral Denfeld's

interested in another Navy post
if one were offered, Mr.. Matthews
said today:

He added that the admirals

he did not intend to reply to it.
The admirals letter recalled
Mr.. Matthews report to President
Truman that Admiral Denfeld
was not loyal to his superiors and
lacked proper respect for author

he wrote, other nations might not
have the confidence in him that

Stain, 10 Tomorrow,
Getting Greatest Gift
Jackpot in History
Fortune in Presents, From
Dolls to Locomotives, Being
Sent, by Worlds Reds
By the Assoeioted Press

LONDON, Dec. 20.-The great
est giveaway jackpot program in
history is on today, with Russia S
Joseph Stain on the receiv-
ing end.
Stain, overload of world COM
munism. hits the jackpot tomor-
row when he reaches the age of
10. How much the take in birth
day presents is worth is anybodys
guess. Tons and tons Of gifts
so many that not in centuries
could one man use them up-have
descended on Moscow from the
Communist world.
Reports reaching London
through the Soviet monitor and
other channels indicate that there
will be more than ,000, 900 parcels
bearing the tag: Happy Birth
day, Dear Comrade."
Besides, there will be q veritable
flood of big crates containing the
more unwieldy gifts-all the way
from motorcycles to airplanes.
Take an average figure Of S.
per gift-that would be cheap
for a birthday gift for Stain
and the jackpot is worth more
than IS. 600 900.
From Dolls to Locomotives.
Shoes, socks, neckties, choice
foods, wines. spirits, toys. dolls,
books, automobiles, horses, motor
cycles airplanes. locomotives and
even whole factories are among
the many carloads of presents
converting on the Kremlin from
the satellite areas and far ter
ritories of the U. S. S. r.
With the gifts come all sorts
of honors, pledges of special work,
affirmations of loyalty and devo-
ton, endearing greetings in the
familiar Communist pattern.
Long freight trains hauled gifts
into Moscow. There were 10 cars
one for each birthday-from Com
munist East Germany. A freight
train of II cars left Warsaw with
presents from Poland. The loco
motive of the train was almost
hidden by the huge portrait OF
Stain it bore as it pulled out.
Stain probably will have little
use for much of what he gets. A
man of 10, for instance, would be
a bit beyond playing with the II
dolls he is getting from Italian
Communists, or riding a motor
scooter from Milan, or an Italian
racing bicycle, or motorcycle and
airplane from Prague, or even
taking a buggy ride in a carriage
from Sofia
Presumably, much of what he
lis given will be redistributed.
Even this will take a long time.
It seems unlikely, for instance,
that the shipment of women's
nylon stockings he is getting from
some French admirers will be
much good for his personal use.

orbit have held public displays of
