The snow and freeze caused
some damage to shrubs and flow
ers. The damage to trees was not
general, although some were bent
almost double under the weight OF
the wet snow. The daffodils that
were in bud were injured, as many
feared they might be. Flowering
shrubs will bloom again, but the
showing will be reduced.
Pruning should not be delayed
now that freezing temperatures
have checked the flow of sap. This
Is especially important for those
whose grape vines are still in need
of pruning.
Sow seed now in flats, pots or
cold frames. It Is too late to SOW

Chambers produced at a Balti-
more court hearing, and prints of
all microfllm unearthed from a

Symbolic Skirt Idea Described
Here by Dutch Woman Leader

Old scraps Of material OF all
shapes, colors and sizes are being
sewn together by the women OF
Holland into symbolic" skirts.
The idea was conceived by Nine
Adrienne Boissevain. founder OF
the National Skirt" Movement
and prominent women's leader OF
Amsterdam. as a result of exper-
fences she had while confined in
German concentration camps for
her part in the Dutch under
ground.
Nine. Boissevain spoke yester-
day at meeting of the Washing
ton World Affairs Center in the
Sulgrave Club, Seventeenth street
and Massachusetts, avenue NV.
When I was released from
camp in April, 1945, weighed go
pounds and had no teeth or hair" "
she told the group. Her appear
ance today does not betray her
experiences.
How Movement Began.
This is the way the skirt move
ment began:
After six weeks Of being shut
up with seven other women In q
tiny cell, awaiting word Of her
family, Nine. Boissevain received
a pillow slip filled with clean
clothes. Tucked away in the bot
tom was a brightly colored patch
work scarf. made Of the clothes OF
people still active in the Dutch
underground.
The scarf gave her new strength
and she hung it on the wall. Soon
the fighting, irritable inmates of
her cell began to ask her about the
people symbolized in each scrap
of material. Then they began to
talk about themselves. their ex-
periences, their friends.
1--WE became as sisters to each
other" Nine. Boissevain said.

House Votes 10 j End n!
Double Overtime Pay
BY the Assoeiated Press

The House voted, 230 to Z, yes
terday to end so-called, overtime
on overtime" payments for steve
dores and building construction
workers. The bill now goes to the
Senate.
Chairman Lesinski of the House
Labor Committee said that only
longshoremen and construction
workers were included because
their contracts will be up for re-
newal shortly. A general wage
hour bill covering other types of
workers will be forthcoming later,
he said.
The bill provides that so-called
premium" rates paid for night
work, week ends and holidays
shall not be used as the basis for
figuring overtime pay. If the
premium rate is at least one and a
half times the regular pay rate.
The problem developed from q
Supreme Court decision on an in
depreciation of the wage-hour law
last year. The court held that
the premium pay rate for work
performed outside the regular day
hours is not an overtime rate. 1t
said such pay should be included
in the basic remuneration upon
which time and a half for overtime
is figured.
Representative Mcconnell, Re-
publican, of Pennsylvania said the
bill would not affect back pay
claims already filed by longshore-
men after the Supreme Court de-
ciSion.
Representative Marca n t o n o,
American Labor. of New York pro-
tested that the bill would deprive
thousands of stevedores Of the
wage-hour laws protection.
Mr.. Marcantonio, the lone men,
ber to take the floor against the
bill, contended that stevedoring
companies have been making
huge sums of money by robbing
these men"

Doctor Traces Rise of Podiotry
To Rubber Band on Painful Foot

some day about improving care OF
the feet" II *2f
1t was in 1912 that a group Of
chiropodists. who sought to make
their successors more capable than
they were," came to DR.. Levi for
help. Then secretary of the New
York State Board of Medical Ex-
aminers, the physician drafted a
bill which defined the limits Of
chiropody and led to establish
ment of a college in New York.
"One of the first duties" he re-
called, was to closeup some of the
charlatan schools in operation"
One, he said, was located in the
back of a shoe store, and the in
struction was given by an old
craftsman" of the art of corn
cutting" One of the next steps
was to coin the word podiatry as
a more expressive word than chir-
opody. to define foot care more
adequately. But both terms still
are used.
Six Such Colleges.
DR.. Levi was persuaded to head
the New York college. which
eventually became part of Long
Island University. There are now
six such colleges. recognized by the
Council of Education of the Ma
tional Association of Colleges.
which require undergraduate work
and four years of study for the
degree of doctor of surgical
chiropody or of doctor of podiatry.
These schools. DR.. Levi said. are
giving nearly a full course" in
medicine. This is necessary be-
cause there is no systemic illness
that doesn't bear on the foot" and
these body ailments often are re-
sponsible for foot pains.
Ill-fitting shoes probably are
the greatest cause Of foot ills, "ons
of the prices of civilization" DR..
Levi said. Industrial development
and urban occupations which re-
quire people to stand and use their
feet continuously have taken their
toll. too, he added.

Woods Suggests Fixed
Return for Landlords
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

Housing Expediter Tighe Woods
suggested yesterday that Congress
could fix a fair return" figure
for rent controlled property -
somewhere between 2 and 8 per
cent.
Mr.. Woods told the House Bank
ing Committee he favors the idea
of giving landlords fair return
on fair value" But he said Con-
gress should say what is fair
return.
Under questioning on what a
6 per cent return on fair value"
might mean, Mr.. Woods said it
probably would increase present
rents from zero to So per cent
on individual pieces of property
Mr.. Woods Endorsed the "fair
return" idea in principle. But he
said trying to figure the fair value
on millions of pieces of rental
property would be tremendous
job.
Mr.. Woods said the Rev. Wallace
Murphy, Tulsa, Okla, originator
of the mass eviction idea of pro-
testing continued rent controls
seems to be making pretty good
profit as Landlord.
Mr.. Murphy. Baptist minister,
told the House committee last
week he was going out of busi-
ness" that is withdrawing his
property from rental, if the die
tatorship" of Federal controls is
continued.
Mr.. Woods said his records show
Mr.. Murphy owns a single piece
of property in Tulsa which last
year made $1.707 profit in rentalsi
before taxes but including depre-
citation. Mr.. Woods said 6 per
cent profit on its assessed value
would have been only $120.

The patchwork scarf became q
symbol of unity among U.S."
Nine. BoisSevain, who is here to
tell American women about the
skirt movement, brought along her
own skirt to illustrate her talk.
Each patch of the skirt relates to
some part of her life.
One gray piece of cloth comes
from the tie Of her husband who
was shot by the Nazis. Another is
a muddy beige color, with the
date Of her release from the con-
centration n camp Ravensbruck
stitched into it.
French Motto Sewn
Sewn on q bright red background
are the words. in French. mo re-
gret Of the past. no fear for the
future" motto of the Boissevain
family which originated in France
The patch is for her daughter
Anna Marie, who at 18 was thrown
into solitary confinement for eight
months for her work in the Dutch
underground. The first thing she
saw were these memorable words
which had been written earlier on
the cell wall by another unfortu-
nate member of the Boissevain
family. They gave her the in
spiration and the will to live
through her Imprisonment.
But the blocks are not all re
minders of unpleasant events
There Is q patch representing the
marriage Of her youngest son. who
was released from q concentration
camp, and others marking the
birth Of two grandchildren.
Reconstruct from the past
with torn scraps, a new solid gar
ment of today-a garment which
can be handed down to future
generations, symbolical Of the con-
tinutty 'of" life through women.
Mime. Boissevin advised the group
