Frank L. Yates, assistant con-
troller general. told the committee
the cost of the new building

RuhIand Issues Warning
On Diphtheria Symptoms

Because of an increase in the
number of reported diphtheria
cases in Washington, Health Off
Ger George C. Rutland has issued
a warning to physicians and par
ents to be on the lookout for sore
throats-the danger signal.
There have been four deaths
since October /. and a total Of
13 cases have been reported since
that date.
I'VE should not be lured into a
false sense of security in believing
that one immunization against
diphtheria entirely eradicates the
disease" DR.. Rutland said. THE
Health Department recommends
diphtheria immunization in in
fancy and a booster shot at the
time of school entrance"
DR.. Lewis K. Sweet, chief of the
Communicable Disease Division at
Gallinger Hospital, said early rec
ognition of diphtheria is especial
ly important for successful treat
ment.
"Diphtheria is usually spread
directly from person to person."
he said. THE germs may be
spread by coughing, sneezing, or
even talking. Eating utensils with
out proper sterilization may also
be a means of spreading the dis.
ease."

PBA Withdraws Plea Prisoner Unconscious
For Authority 10 Make More Than Is Hours;
5-Year Leases Here Fall in Cell Blamed

The Public Buildings Admins
tration today withdrew its request
for authority to make five-year
leases on private property here
1t is now limited to annual leases
Mead Keller, PBA solicitor. took
the action before Senate Public
Works Subcommittee during hear
ings on bills for planning a Ma
ton wide public building pro-
gram.
The five-year period, Mr.. Keller
told the subcommittee, might be
too long for leases in case the
Government embarked on a de-
centralization policy to move
agencies from Washington to the
field.
The five-year period had been
included in a pending bill by Sem
ator Chavez, Democrat. of New
Mexico to bring the procedure Of
the PBA in the district in line
with that throughout the rest of
the country.
Mr.. Keller also proposed an
amendment to the Chavez bill
which would authorize the Gov
ernment to condemn property for
rental use, but withdrew the re-
quest when it was criticized by
members of the subcommittee.
The subcommittee remarked
favorably on another proposal in
the bill which would give the PBA
the right to rename buildings,
especially in the District, to con-
form with the use to which they
were put.

ADA Asks Full Pay Boost
For District Teachers

Pay increases for all District
employees, including teachers, were
urged today by the Washington
Chapter of Americans for Demo-
cratic Action in report submitted
to the House District Committee
1--WE feel it would be gross dis
elimination to give teachers any
less of an increase than others
serving the needs of the District"
President Benjamin C. Sigal de-
clared.
He pointed out to the commit
tee that if District classified work.
ers received a full salary inci ease
and teachers a smaller increase,
"it will mean that a custodian
may earn even more than a school
teacher whose investment in edu-
cation and qualifications for work
are of necessity infinitely greater"
An increase for teachers, he
added, Is long overdue"

hours after being removed from
his cell at the fourth precinct

be his last name. He was de-
scribed as a colored man. about
38 years old.

Admitted to Gallinger Hospital
about an hour later, the man was
unconscious at that time and had
not recovered this afternoon, ac-
cording to DR.. Alvin r. Sweeney,
hospital superintendent. DR..
Sweeney said, however, that his
condition did not appear to be
critical. pending a thorough ex-
animation.
Capt. Barnes said so far he has
no reason to regard the case other
than as IAN average drunk case"

precinct detective to Gallinger to
interview the man when he re-
gains consciousness regarding his
identity and the circumstances
leading to his arrest.

The complainant was Robert
S. Simms, is Research road,

beaten in a taxicab in Berwyn. Md
Reporters were unable to con-
tact either Mr.. Simms or Pvt

am, and that he reported to the
station prepared to go on police

Gated when he arrived at the

ton taken any time an officer
is charged with assault, the in
spector said.
He said Pvt. O'Connor had
denied the allegations and denied
knowing Mr.. Simms.
District Police Supt. Robert j.
Barrett ordered 1t. Hite to investi-
gate the charges.

To See Newest Planes
Al Andrews Today

The Air Force this afternoon
was grooming its latest bombers
and fighters for an air show at
Andrews Base for President Tru-
man and members of the Armed
Services and Appropriations Com
mittees in Congress.
The flight program was expected
to begin on schedule at 4 pm
despite a tricky ground wind which
registered gusts up to IS miles an
hour shortly before takeoff time
About Is fighters and bombers
of 81 types will be in the show.
The public has been invited to
a ground display of the same
planes between and S pm. to-
morrow. Ramps will be erected
around some of the most spectacu-
lar models like the Boeing Strato-
jet and the Northrup jet Flying
Wing. and spectators will see other
models which will be roped off on
the flight apron.
B-36s to Feature Show.
The high light of the show this
afternoon was to be the arrival
from Texas of a squadron of six
engine B-36 very long-range
bombers. They were to pass over
the reviewing stand along with
27 B-29 Super Fortresses escorted
by Lockheed F-80 fighters oased
at Andrews and other points in
the East.
It will be the first time some
of the revolutionary new jet
bombers have been shown east of
the Mississippi. The six-jet Boe-
ing bomber with swept-back wings
and a battery of booster rockets
for takeoff was flown here last
week from Moses Lake. Wash. at
an average speed of over 600 miles
an hour.
The six-jet flying wing came
from the flight test center at Mu-
roc Lake, Calf. at an average
speed of we'll over 500 miles an
hour.
Another new type of bomber to
be shown here will be the Boeing
B-50, more powerful and longer
range successor of the B-29.
Vins0n Requested Show.
With service appropriations for
the new fiscal year soon to come
up in Congress, Chairman Vim
son of the House Armed Services
Committee asked the Air Force
to stage the show for the benefit
of those responsible for passing on
national security matters.
Models being shown here today
include such workhorses of World
War II as the Lockheed Light
ming, the Republic Thunderbolt.
the North American Mutang and
the Bell King Cobra.
President Truman and members
of his cabinet and staff were ex-
pected at Andrews around 3
o'clock this afternoon. along with
specially invited members of Con-
gress. They were to inspect
ground displays for an hour be-
fore the air show.

After all, it's the simple things
in life that count Take the
noisette de veau Prince Orloff
that Nicholas Marchitelli, chef of
the Mayhower Hotel. served his
fellow chefs and their guests last
night at the dinner of the Epi-
curean Club.
1t sounds fancy. And the truth
is no chef could tell you much
about the Russian prince whose
visit to Paris caused Auguste
Escoffier, the chef of chefs, to
name the recipe after him. But,
after all. it's veal.
Chef Marchitelli was up against
it about this Epicurean Club din
ner. Like every housewife. he was
up against a budget.
When the dinner was planned,
one of the supplier members said
he would get him 800 pounds of
Canadian venison. Another said
he would get 800 South American
ptarmigan-that's quail in these
parts. Both failed to make good.
He was up against it. Some one
suggested filet de boef roti, which
is beef tenderloin baked and then
sliced. But the budget wouldn't
stand 1t. After all. the dinner
was not to cost more than $40 a
plate AS il was dinner dance
that left S6 for food and wine. 81
for the orchestra and 81 for taxes.
So Chef Marchitelli went back
to the simple things of life. The
ingredients were those within the
purchase of any housewife. The
work was so painstaking few
would assay it.
