Hostess With Mostes' Won See Show Fnstes'

opening and planned to bring a
trainload or so of Washington
dignitaries up to the show to show
Broadway which "hostess had the
mosteS' on the ball."
"Oh, there's nothing to that re-
port" Mrs. Cafritz said. "Of
course I would love to see the
show, but we just can't make it
tomorrow. Like everyone else ]
intend to see it later but we have
NO plans now for a theater party.
After all, our interests lie in
Washington which is something
the people in New>York don't seem
to understand.
Mrs. Mesta, meanwhile, has
been in Washington all week and
nary a party has been thrown.
Several cases of neurasthenia have
been reported in free loading
circles where weaklings have
broke under the strain. No one
knows whether Perle or Gwen
dolyn will throw the first party
to the strains of "I'm the hostess
with the moStes' on the ball"
Mrs. Mesta merely smiles an
enigmatic smile and says she is
busy with affairs of state.
And Mrs. Cafritz says her hus-
band is very, very busy. a

On Broadway tomorrow they'll
be humming and whistling I'm
the Hostess With the Mostes' on
the Ball." and the wits will be
cracking wise about Washington
society-but they won't know
what they're talking about be-
cause neither Gwendolyn nor Perle
will be there.
The hostess song was written by
Irving Berlin to be smash hit
in the musical comedy Call Me
Madam" a rollicking story about
a Washington hostess who became
her country's Minister Plenipo-
tentiary and Ambassador Extraor-
binary to a foreign land.
Any resemblance to the career
of Nine. Minister Perle MeSta,
envoy to Luxembourg, the the
ater'S press agents have made
clear, was strictly calculated.
Mrs. Mesta, who before she
went to Luxembourg, led the race
for the title of Washington's No.
/ hostess by a well-smoked stur-
geon egg and a cabinet officer, has
announced she is too busy with
affairs of state to attend the
premier of the musical comedy to-
morrow.

ID. C.. Dental Society
Criticizes NSRB for
ignoring Its Meeting

District Dental Society officials
last night strongly criticized Of
ficials of the National Security
Resources Board for refusing to
appear at its meeting to discuss
manpower policies.
DR.. Daniel F. Lynch. Washing
ton oral surgeon, told members
an NSRB official made a last
minute refusal to appear because
some OF their plans are not COM
pleted and that those which are,
are restricted"
II don't agree with that" DR..
Lynch declared. "As American
citizens, we're entitled to ask ques-
tions. We feel our elected and
appointed representatives should
be here to answer the questions

.Seckinger TO Act Soon
On Changes Asked in
New Milk Regulations

Health Director Daniel L. Seek
niger will make a definite recon-
mendation within a week or 10
days on changes in the new milk
regulations proposed by independ-
ent dairies here, the Commis-
sioners were advised yesterday.
DR.. Seckinger has said previ-
ously he is in favor of some of
the changes but feels most of the
new regulations should stand.
They were put in effect two
months ago, after the city heads
announced they were ending the
wartime provision permitting i'm
portation from farms not in
spected by District authorities.
Delay on Ban Asked.
The dairies urging the changes
Embassy, Wakefield and High
land Farms, as well as Model
Dairy, recently purchased by
Wakefield-also asked an extern
sion of the November l deadline
on importations from farms not
inspected locally. DR.. Seckinger is
understood to oppose this.
Meanwhile, William E. Leahy,
attorney representing the Mary
land and Virginia Milk Producers
Association, has written the Com
missioners asking a chance to be
heard on the proposals.
Mr.. Leahy said his group has
found about 100 farmers who have
spent some $4,000 each to meet
District requirements.
Hits Support Argument.
He went on to say that "our
farmers can be relied upon as re-
sponsible and cooperative pro-
ducers in this milk shed. The
people of this district can have
confidence in them. And the pro-
lection of the public health has
not changed because we fought a
war.
If we successfully withstood
the danger from inferior milk
during the war, it is hardly an
argument now to break down reg
ulations that we should continue
the danger when necessity for
continuance no longer exists"
Among the changes proposed
is an equalization of credit for
steam and chemical sterilization
methods. Steam now receives a
preference.

Inspectors Studying
Applications Under
Old Georgetown Act

The District today was prepar-
ing to send the first building ap-
plicationS covered by the Old
Georgetown Act to the Fine Arts
Commission.
j. j. Ilgenfritz, deputy direc-
tor of inspections. said his de-
partment was sitting through ap-
plicationS to pick out those which
the new law requires to be cleared
with the commission.
The law, which became effective
September %. is designed to pre-
serve the exterior architectural
features of the old Georgetown
section and protect it's historic
value.
The District will now send plans
on all exterior construction re-
quests in the area-new buildings,
building additions and alterations.
and SignS-aS well as proposed
razing to the commission before
issuing permits for the work.
Prompt Report Ordered.
The commission is to report
promptly" to the Commissioners
its recommendations, including
any changes it considers desirable
to preserve historic value.
The report will be on exterior
architectural features, height, ap-
pearance, color and texture of the
materials on buildings which can
be seen from public highway.
Mr.. Ilgenfritz estimated that
cnly about half a dozen pending
applications will be affected. He
pointed out, however, that permits
issued since September % also
would have to be reviewed.
Delays are expected on some
small jobs, such as a new roof or
porch repair, for which the in
spections department might ordi-
narily issue permit lover the
counter"
Behind in Its Work.
On larger jobs, Mr.. ngenfritz
said, it probably will make little
difference, since the department is
running two or three months
behind anyway because of a staff
shortage.
H. P. Caemmerer, secretary and
administration officer of the Fine
Arts Commission, said the agency
is considering appointment of
three architects as a consultant
committee to review plans.
The Commissioners are not
bound by the Fine Arts Commits
sion's verdicts, and if the COM
mission fails to report within As
days it's approval may be assumed.
The act defines "old George
town" as bounded on the east by
Rock Creek and the Potomac
parkway from the Potomac River
to the north boundary of Dun
barton Oaks Park, on the north by
the north boundary of Dunbarton
Oaks Park, Whitehaven street and

fifth street, south along the mid
die of Thirty fifth street to Reser-
voir road, west along the middle of
Reservoir road to Archbold park
way, on the west by Archbold
parkway from Reservoir road to
the Potomac River and on the
south by the Potomac River to the

Too Many Officials
Ignore Legal Rights,
Judge HoItzoff Says

Judge Alexander Holtzoff today
declared that too many" Gov
ernment administrative officials
are denying individuals due pro-
cess of law.
The District Court judge singled
out District Insurance Supt. AL
bert F. Jordan as one such official
for granting request by Car
Credit. Inc, auto financing firm of
1713 Seventh street NV. to en-
join Mr.. Jordan from revoking
its insurance license.
Mr.. Jordan's Office last August
revoked the company's license on
the basis of an affidavit signed by
a car purchaser who claimed Car
Credit failed to send him an in
surance policy he said he was
supposed to get.
Charge Is Denied.
In a hearing conducted by Mr..
Jordan at the time. Morris Gross,
company president. testified the
purchaser never contracted for
such a policy.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Milton Norman argued to the
court that since the superintend-
ent has no power to subpoena wit
nesses to testify before him, he
must RELY on affidayitS.
Attorney Jess Lichtenberg, rep
resenting the company, countered
that this method deprived his
client of due process of law guar
anteed by the Constitution be-
cause no opportunity for cross
examination was afforded.
Due Process Seen Denied.
Judge Holtzoff agreed, observ-
ing:
TOO many administrative Off
cials, including the superintendent
of insurance, know no law, are
not lawyers and do not consult
lawyers. AS a result, people are
being denied due process by such
officials"
The judge added that some Off
cials have mo conception of the
fundamental principles" of due
process, and said he had noticed
there have been similar COM
plants against Mr.. Jordan from
other sources.
Trial on the merits of the in
surance superintendent's license
revocation has not been sched-
uled yet.

Area Residents Urged
10 Support Efforts
For River Cleanup

The Interstate Commission on
the Potomac River Basin appealed
today to residents of the Wash
.ngton Metropolitan Area to sup
port efforts to provide more ade-
quate sewage treatment facilities
In an open letter, Commission
director Edwin r. Cotton empha-
sized the dangers to health and
welfare arising from the sanitary
condition of the river in the
Washington area. He urged resi-
dents of nearby Virginia to vote
for funds to construct abatement
facilities.
Dangers Emphasized.
Mr.. Cotton's statement follows
The Interstate Commission or
the Potomac River basin is very
reluctant to use scare words in
describing the critical unsanitary
condition of the Potomac River in
the Washington Metropolitan
Area. Since many people do not
use the river for recreational pur-
poses, they are lukewarm toward
any corrective measures.
This commission desires to en-
phasize the fact that dangers aris-
ing out of the unsanitary condi-
ton of the river are not confined
to those actually using the stream
The Potomac River is a tidal
stream and the filth exposed along
it's banks between high and low
tides is a notorious feeding place
for insects, particularly flies.
These insects are capable of car
rying many types of diseases and
we may not even be safe with the
best type Of protection in our own
homes. 1t should not be necessary
for a tragedy to befall us in order
to make us aware of the condition
of the river. Should we permit the
river to degrade into a cesspool,
the threat to our health, welfare
and security will be intensified to
the breaking point.
District Commended.
"The District of Columbia and
the Washington Suburban Sani-
tary Commission in Maryland, are
actually engaged in a program for
cleaning up their pollution. The
District of Columbia is now spend
ing over SO million as a part of
an $11 million program for the ex-
pansion of its treatment plant
which will ultimately render ade-
quate treatment to all sewage from
the east side of the river. In the
meantime, it is essential that Vir-
ginia communities do their part.
"The Interstate Commission on
the Potomac River Basin fully
realizes the need for other i'm
provements in Virginia. but ap-
peals to the people to support the
efforts of their governing bodies
by voting for funds for construct
ing pollution abatement facilities
as their contribution to the over
all effort for the protection of the
people in the Washington Metro
politan Area"

Early Ruling Expected
By Appeals Court on
Gas Rate Increase

Counsel in the gas rate dispute
in the courts here today were ex-
pecting an early ruling on whether
the present rate will stand or con-
sumers will get refunds dating
from last November.
The United States Court of Ap-
peals heard nearly four hours of
arguments on the issues yesterday.
Judges Henry w. Edgerton, David
Bazelon and Charles Fahy. who
will decide the case, were addressed
in succession by representatives of
the Washington Gas Light Co., the
Public Utilities Commission and
Vernon v. Baker, chairman of the
utilities committee of the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations.
The company and the commits
sion filed the appeal from a ruling
last summer in which. District
Court Judge T. Alan Goldsborough
set aside a PUG order granting a
s per cent rate increase last No
vember. Judge Goldsborough's ac-
ton upheld contentious by MFR.
Baker that the rate hike was
illegal.
Roberts Confident.
At the close of yesterdays ses-
sion in the appeals court, Attorney
William A. Roberts, representing
Mr.. Baker. expressed cautious con-
f1dence in the outcome.
General anticipation of an early
decision was based partly on the
prompt appellate hearing sched-
uled and on the widespread local
Importance of the case. For one
thing, the gas comany, under an
earlier court order. has frozen all
consumer revenue rejecting the
increase until litigation ends.
The gas company lawyer. Stod-
dard M. Stevens, warned the ap-
peals judges yesterday that, if they
uphold Judge Goldsborough's rul-
ing to set aside the increase, mat
ters will be cleft in confusion"
Mr.. Stevens argued that the trial
judge erred by refusing to approve,
in the company's figures for a
higher rate base, losses incurred
in abandoning an old gas-mixing
plant.
Cited Previous Decisions.
Attorney Roberts countered,
however, that the District Code
and previous court decisions
clearly preclude property no longer
used and useful" from considera-
ton in rate calculations.
Mr.. Roberts also argued that the
appeals court should uphold Judge
Goldsborough's findings that the
increased rate allowed by the
PUG was Illegally retroactive, that
the company should not have been
permitted to include the cost of
converting home gas appliances in
its boosted rate base computations
and that the new rate discrimi-
mates against small consumers.
In answer to query by Judge
Fahy, the company lawyer said
the utility's earnings for the fiscal
year ended last June amounted to
a So per cent return on the in
vestments. This, he pointed out,
was still below the 6 per cent re-
turn allowed by the commission.
The span, however, covers nearly
four months when the November
rate increase was not yet in effect.

Wrong
Influences
By Angelo Potri

There is no blinking the fact
that there are some people who
have a poor influence on children.
This is especially difficult when
those people are relatives. The
welfare of the children must come
before anybody's feelings and the
only safe thing, the only kind
thing in the end, is to keep the
children away from any such
influence,
There are all kinds Of adults
and all kinds Of children and 1t
is not surprising that some combi-
nations Of temperament or char
acter will not result happily. Aunt
Hepsy thinks that children should
be seen and not heard. Buster has
an overflowing disposition. His
voice is too loud. his movements
too emphatic. He has constantly
to be reminded to tone down.
That does well at home. but at
Aunty's house. oh, my! The child
returns home in a temperish frame
of mind that lasts for a couple Of
days. Trying to repress his nat
ural exuberance has so fatigued
him that he can't live with him.
self. much less anybody else.
Keep him away from aunty.
Caroline is a sensitive, timid
child. Granny wants her to be
more aggressive SO she keeps
telling her, Stand up for yourself.
Don't be such a coward. Nobody
like a crybaby. Nobody wants
such a namby-pamby about the
house. Goodness! Can't you stand
UP for your own rights like your
cousin?"
After q siege with granny,
Caroline cries for hours and is
very difficult to deal with, re-
fusing to eat, refusing to go our
to play. 1t takes a week or so
to recondition her to ordinary
ways of living. Why subject her
to grandma's nagging?
There are worse influences.
There are older people who have
bad habits. bad manners, ugly
ways. Children who are en-
thralled by their dramatic, un-
usual behavior are out of hand
for some time after exposure to
their influence. Every possible
effort should be made to keep the
unworthy adult and the sensitive
child apart.
This is easier to say than to
do. The family relationships are
not easily adjusted and the in
laws always must be considered
as members Of the family. How
ever. the children's welfare must
be the first consideration always.
What helps them is to be accept
ed gratefully and what hinders
them is to be summed whenever
possible.
All life among people Is COM
promise. If one is alert to op-
portunities children can be spared
most Of the wrong influences.
