Marshall Heights
HearingP|edged
After S|um Tour
But Senators Hold
Little Hope for Action
On Funds This Year

Three Senators today made a
tour of the "blighted" Marshall
Heights area in Southeast Wash
ington, once slated to be Wash
ington's first slum clearance prof.
ect. They agreed that something
should be done but held little hope
for action this year.
On the inspection of the 180-
acre area were Senator Sparkman,
Democrat, of Alabama, chirman OF
the Senate Banking Subcommittee
on Housing and Rents; Senator
Ferguson, Republican, of Mich
igan, member of the Appropria-
tions Committee, and Senator
Flanders, Republican, of Vermont,
who is a member of the Banking
Subcommittee.
They were accompanied by 1t.
Col. L. E. Cox. acting Engineer
Commissioner; John Nolen, jr.,
planning director of the National
Parks and Planning Commission,
and other District officials.
Will Hold Hearings.
Senator Sparkman said his sub
committee definitely would hold a
hearing to find out what would
be the best thing to do in the
area. He added:
IF the present program sug-
gested by the Commissioners turns
out. not to be the one, we must
find another plan."
The new National Housing Act
has. an amendment which BLOCKS
District Commissioners from ask
ing for funds to use in Marshall
Heights. A request by the Com
misisoners for money to develop
the area under the Redevelopment
Act of 1945 has been turned down
by the House Appropriations Com
mittee.
Meanwhile, the National Parks
and Planning Commission has GER
titled the plan for clearing the
area which placed a legal barrie:
to any new construction or re-
modelling of buildings in Marshall
Heights pending the sium clearing
program which cannot get started
for lack of money.
This freeze" in construction
should remain in effect until Goa
gress has another change to look
into the question of Marshall
Heights, Senator Sparkman COM
mented. He said he felt the basic
trouble about getting the project
under way was that the facts had
not been presented fully to Con-
gress.
No Funds This Year.
Senator Flanders said normal
development of the area by the
city installing sewer and water
facilities looked impossible" be-
cause the cost to the residents
most of whom are in the low
income bracket-would be pro-
hibitive. He agreed with the
OullSI GWU OClldtOIO . U1IdV ooAAAS oSA
of redevelopment plan by the city
must be undertaken so that the
residents would not have to bear
the heavy cost of installing the
facilities.
Senator Ferguson said he saw
no possibility of any money being
appropriated this year. but agreed
that a thorough study of the mat
ter should be started at once.
Marshall Heights is located in
a triangle formed by East Capitol
street, Benning road and a line
dividing the District from Prince
Georges County. It's population
is about 1000, mostly colored. and
it is called a blighted area by
civic planners because SO per cent

sraIN REMOVAL

1EtlN
Nothing is as much fun as a sup
per at the beach or a picnic IN
vour fayorite woodsy spot, until
vou discover stains! Tea and cof-
fee stains on the lunch cloth. grass
stains on the children's dresses,
Iipstick on the napkins and so on
into a day of drudgery.
There are solutions, and easy
ones at that. A few rules for re-
moving stains will put you on the
bright side again.
It's an absolute must, say ex-
perts, to remove spots and stains
before washing, since hot soapy
water often sets the stains and
makes them almost impossible to
remove. Naturally, the sooner a
spot is treated the easier 1t will
be to get out. Try the simplest
stain-removal method first. When
chemicals are necessary, dilute
them to a mild solution before US
ing or they may injure the fabric.
When using a bleach. follow In
structions on the container to the
letter.
LIPSTICK
Mix an equal solution of hydro
gen peroxide tthe regular house
hold product) and ammonia, and,
using a small cloth dipped in the
solution, rub the stain with light,
quick, short strokes.
MUSTARD
, Put the stain in a solution of /
tablespoon of sodium hydro-sul-
phite (bought at your corner drug
store) in / pint of water. Or mois-
ten the powder and apply direct
to the stain. Sponge the stain with
denatured alcohol and wash the
material in warm water and soap
suds.
GRASS STAINS
Use ordinary unsalted lard, OF,
IL the stain is old or is a persis-
tent one, mix the lard with kero-
sene, turpentine or glycerine.
Float" out the stain by rubbing
a small amount of fat or 'floater"
on the spot and working 1t about
with the finger until stain is work.
ed into the fat. Let stand about
an hour and then wash in warm
(not hot) water.
MILDEW
Wash the material thoroughly
first and then while still wet apply
a weak bleach az cup OF bleach
to 5 gallons of waterl Have the
solution weak no matter how bad
the mildew is. A strong bleach
weakens fabrics. If ecessary, soak
the stain in the mild bleach over
night. Then wash in warm suds
and water and rinse in the same
temperature clear water.
HEAVY MUD
Soak the stain in lukewarm wa

Druftees' and Veterans Guide
BY Mai. Thomos M. NieI-

flee, but remember it is now dis
trict," not branch"
Testimony before the House
Veterans Committee on the So
called general service pension bill
brought out the following facts
and figures:
Cost for the first year would
approach $4,000, 0,0OO,O 900, according
to Carl Gray. He said slightly
more than 100000 World War
veterans and $1,000 World War II
would become eligible for the $50
a month at age go Cor 500 at
age So.
BY the year 1000 there should
be twice as many World War II
veterans as there are World War I
veterans today and their average
age will be 20 years older than
today's World War I veterans.
This estimate also was made by
Gray, and it shows how much the
cost of a general pension would
be so years from now.
Representative Glenn Davis, Re-
publican, of Wisconsin estimated
that by 1880 the cost would be
around $5,500,000,000, on the
basis of 100000 eligible ex-serv-
icerS.
Representative Kearney, Repub-
lican, of New York said the bill
being considered would give a
veteran with just 80 days service
exactly the same pension as 10
year serviceman. Gray agreed and
said he didn't think it was quite
fair.
Finally. Gray made two sig
nif1cant remarks:
/. He suggested the committee
might further wish to consider
whether the impact of a bill with
the potential magnitude of the
general service pension bill might
not impose a financial obligation
upon the Government sufficiently
great to result in a repetition of
the Economy Act of 1888" In
other words, 60 slow.
2. He ended his statement by
quoting the Budget Bureau as
saying that enactment of the bill
could not be considered in ac-
cord with the program of the
President"
Veterans Administration officers
are just about cleaned up on
job that's taken slightly over a
year.
The job is to canvass all dis
abled veterans with disability rat
ings of 80 per cent or more and
telling them they are eligible to
apply for the benefits of Public |
Law Is.
Every disabled veteran award
ed compensation was supposed toI
get a letter from his VA Office ad-
vising him of the educational bene-
fits of P. L. 16 (the Vocational Re-
habilitation Act) as soon as his
disability award was made. Then
a year ago last December the VA
started second canvass of the
more seriously disabled just to
make certain they knew about
their rights and benefits.
Those letters were sent (and
still are) by registered mail. That's
to leave no possibility of any one
getting overlooked. You should
answer the letter "a self address
ed, stamped envelope is provided |
as soon as you can. so your re-
gional Office will know where it
stands.
Evening star., 1949-02-23

If you read what Carl r. Gray
said the other day about liquida.
ton of Veterans Administration
branch Offices, don't worry about
it. The move, in the making for 9
long time, won't affect you a par.
ticle.
Gen. Bradley established the l;
branch Offices soon after he came
to VA as administrator in 1945
Now. says Gray, their effective
ness has about worn away and we
don't need them any more.
So regional and lesser VA Offices
now report directly to the central
office in Washington instead of a
branch Office. Branch Offices be-
come district offices. Their job Is
to handle all insurance matters
and to adjudicate all death claims.
Keep sending your insurance

Negro Girl Scouts
Increase 500 Per Cent

NEW YORK. - Negro Girl
Scouts have increased their num-
bers more than 500 per cent since
1910, it was made known this
week at the National Headquar-
ters of Girl Scouts. Membership
figures for 1913 show that Girl
Scouting reaches nine out of every
100 girls of Scout age in the
United States, according to the
national annual report. In 1910,
the annual report shows, four out
of every 100 girls were members
of the organization.
Figures for Negro membership
were not available for 194S, but
the 1947 statistics showed that
there were 33,92S Negro girls in
all-Negro troops at the end of
1947, as compared with only 6,26S
at the end of 1910.
In addition to the more than
thirty-three thousand Negro girls
in all Negro Scout troops, there
were approximately 5000 in
1927 interracial troops as of
Dec. 81. 1947, whereas there
were only 500 Negro girls in the
205 interracial troops in 1910.
