mum standard. He was to point
out that this standard has been
exceeded by several recent apart
ment projects.
Officials expressed hope that
FILA would disapprove loans to
apartment builders if plans ex-
ceeded the proposed standard.

Better Business
Bureau Opens
Expansion Drive
60-Doy Campaign
Seeks $4,000 in
New Memberships

Washington's Better Business
Bureau, faced on the one hand
with a deficit and on the other
with increasing demands for
service to the Capitals business
concerns and customers, has
launched a 60-day drive for new
memberships to contribute to
the moral fiber of the city"
The 30-year -old bureau fights
suspicious business schemes, mis-
representation in advertising and
other frauds and otherwise
keeps Washington's money in
legitimate channels"
But since the war there has
been a steady increase in de-
mands for the bureaus services
for its constant checking and in
vestigating. Having recently ex-
panded its facilities, the bureau
must again increase services, and
it faces $4,000 deficit this year.
Current Budget $39,625.
The current budget is $39, ,625,
while income for this year totals
only about $34, 900. And we need
$4,000 a year now to do a good
job" bureau officials explained.
So the bureaus So board mem
bers are conducting a membership
drive, each with a 5000 quota. The
bureau, which now has $50 some
members. hopes for about 200
more. Businesses contribute to
the bureau according to their size,
with sums ranging from $25 to
81 800 annually.
Board Chairman Ralph L. Gold
smith announced that Clarence
H. Johnson, vice president and
general manager of the Chesa-
peake & Potomac Telephone Co.,
will lead the membership drive.
Membership by Invitation.
Mr.. Goldsmith emphasized that
only businesses of honorable
standing in the community are
sought as bureau members, and
that membership. therefore, will
be by invitation. He added, how
ever, that many eligible businesses
do not realize they can join, think
ing "the bureau is underwritten
by the newspapers and radio sta
tions here who must insure clean
advertising practices.
He also pointed out that all
enterprises here and not merely
retailers are helped by the bureau,
for the bureau keeps the city's

Group Charges Effort to Panic
Owners Into Selma Homes

The River Terrace Citizens AS
sociation has complained to the
District Real Estate Commission
that some realty agents tried to
panic" them into selling homes
to colored persons.
A report read at an associa-
ton meeting last night declared
property owners in that northeast
section were told untruthfully by
agents that neighbors have sold
or plan to sell to colored families.
The report said the group also
might take legal action for
damages against 'unscrupulous"
agents. Mrs. Virginia M. Briggs.
association president, said such a
move is being studied but no de-
cision has been made. .,-
John A. Petty, Real Estate
Commission secretary, talked
with Mrs. Briggs recently when
she and other association officers
brought the report and two signed
statements to his attention. He
said today he received mo
tangible evidence of violation of
the law"
The Better Business Bureau
also was notified by the associa-
ton. An official said he dis
cussed the matter with a company
that employs one of the agents
named by the association. The
company denied unethical prac-
tices by its agent but said he
truthfully told some River Ter
race residents that colored fam
lilies were moving into the area.
About five Negro families in
recent months have bought
homes in the section that in
cludes approximately 800 dwell
ings. The first Negro resident
was Otis Van Blasingame. He
has complained that his house
was stoned on several occasions.
Besides receiving, the report last
night, the citizens association
adopted a resolution requesting a
change in the District real estate
law so that any interested party
or representative of any group
could appear bfeore the Real Es-
tate Commission on property sale
Or exchange issues.
The associations report said
there was no quarrel with the COL
ored people. but only with a few
agents who were spreading ma
licious lies"

Not Too Simple.
However, depending on how

the physicists can put the pulses
