House Votes School
Construction Aid in
Installation Areas

The House has passed and sent
back to the Senate O bill for
Federal aid for the construction
OF schools in areas affected by
Federal installations.
The measure, providing for
such aid on the basis Of a COM
plicated formula, is different
from q Senate-passed bill for a
similar purpose. The bills now
|go to conference to iron out
differences.
Chairman Barden of the House
Education and Labor Committee,
who piloted the bill through the
House, said it definitely could be
a benefit to areas in nearby
Maryland and Virginia, where
school facilities are overburdened

Another Bill Advances.
The measure is designed to help
local communities meet the back
log of need for school facilities,
arising since June 80. 1889, and
attributable to Federal activities,
Another entirely different bill,
for school aid already passed by
the House, was approved with
amendments yesterday by q Sen
ate Labor and Public Welfare SUBJ
committee and sent to the full
committee for action.
It is intended to extend Fed
eral help for maintenance and
operation" of schools in areas suf-
fering from what is known as the
Federal impact" It does not
provide for aid in construction OF
buildings.
Temporary Federal aid for
maintenance and operation of
schools in such areas expired
June 80. The bill would make
Federal help permanent on a
more liberal basis.
While full details of the SUBJ
committees action were not dis
closed, one source said a section
considered by some educators as
vital to the areas nearby Wash
ington wer. stricken.
Some Otter Provisos Remain.
That section would have granted
Federal aid to rural schools in
the area where the children live
although their parents worked on
Federal property elsewhere.
Another proviso left in the bill,
however, might benefit nearby
areas, one source explained, but
not so generously.
This section would extend Fed
eral aid to any area where a big
increase in school enrolment could
be shown to be result of new Fed
Ieral agencies.
The subcommittee also was said
to have stricken from the bill GER
tain Government payments that
would have been authorized in
llieu Of taxes in areas where reve-
nue. dropped because of Govern
ment- -owned property, exempt
from local taxation.

The new rules, to go in effect
80 days after they are publicly
advertised. also require that any
fire in a building other than a
private home be reported. even
though 1t apparently has been
extinguished.
Careless smoking is one Of the
leading causes, of fires, the District
Fire Marshal's Office reported. It
caused LOOT fires in the fiscal year
just ended. Some half dozen
deaths have been attributed to
it already this year.
The regulation to penalize
negligence in starting fires was
recommended by the Commis-
sioner's Regulations Committee.
It was proposed by Earl K. Cover.
secretary-treasurer of the North
Washington Council of Citizens
Associations.
Rules Provision.
"Any person who. in any hotel,
rooning house, lodging house.
apartment house, tenament house,
convalescent home, hospital, child
care facility or similar place Of
abode, by any means whatsoever,
through carelessness or negligence,
sets fire to, or causes the burning
of. any bedding, furniture, rug.

household furnishings or fittings
or any other part of such tbuild-
ing), in such manner as to en-
danger the safety of any person
or property. shall upon conviction
be punished by a fine of not more

The new rules require the own
er, manager or person in control

fine.
Hotels Called into Farley.
The rule requiring the reporting
of a fire in any building other than
a private home was proposed by
the fire marshal. It is designed
to furnish the Fire Department
with information concerning fires
so the premises can be inspected
and steps taken to prevent further
fires.
Robert F. Kneipp, chairman Of
the regulations committee, report
ed that, while the proposals were
being considered, representatives
of the Washington Hotel Associa-
tion were invited into the dis
cussion.
The representatives, he said, ex-
pressed themselves as being in
favor Of the proposals generally,
provided certain minor revisions
were made. Mr.. Kneipp said these
revisionS were made.

acquaintance when he sat down
beside me to wait for the bus.
"Everything's fine" he assured
me in reply to my inquiry about
marriage. He hesitated. then went
on. there is one thing that could
be improved. though. That's our
physical relationship"
What's the trouble?"
MY wife's response. She does
MT get as much out of the rela-
tionship as I do. Sometimes she
responds, but more than half the
time she doesn't. I guess she needs
a little more education"
"Her husband is supposed to be
her teacher" asserted. "Of course
that means that the teacher must
study the subject himself"
"Ill have to admit that I'm Of
ten bafhed." he said. She's un-
predictable."
Certainly" I agreed. Other
wise you wouldn't have married
her. She held your interest by
that unpredictability. But there's
one thing you can safely predict
about. her, or almost any other
wife-namely. that she wants love
to be a steady diet. She wants it
to be a way of life-not something
