Diets the coming thing in high
school lunchrooms-and it isn't
just the girls who are thinking
about it, either.
Two Washington schools-Mc-
Kinley High and Garnet-Patter-
son Junior High-started a new
kind of plate lunch last week,
aimed at both the students palate
and his pocketbook.
BY yesterday, results already
had surpassed expectations. More
than $50 converts were reported
at Garnet-Patterson, and more
than 800 at bigger Tech. School
Supt. Hobart M. Corning hopes
the movement will spread to the
rest of the school system.
In dietitian's language-and the
bobby -soxers are talking it these
days-the new daily special in the
two school cafeterias is a bal
anced lunch" In high schoolese
which the dietitians are becom-
ing increasingly aware Oft is
strictly solid"
The sign of the times at Tech
hits the students eye as he walks
past the schools main bulletin
board.
Hot Lunch" shouts a sign in
12-inch capitals a good feet
above the floor. "20c standard,
25c deluxe" it continues. Save
Nom Money and Time-Patronize
Your Cafeteria" .
Roast Beef for Is Cents.
At the head of the stainless
steel serving line is another sign.
Roast beef" it starts off, then
continues: "Buttered beets, mashed
potato, hot mullins. half pint milk
-25 cents" Nearby. a companion:
Meat loaf sandwich, apple crisp,
beef noodle soup, half pint milk
20 cents"
Until last week just 125 of the
1000 students who use our cafe
terra got plate lunches-at 80
cents" related Principal Charles
E. Bish. THE rest got la carte
items-pie, hot dogs, cheese sand
wiches, ice cream sticks, or brought
sandwiches from home. There
wasn't any 20-cent lunch.
Nov we've climbed to $50 plate
lunches a day, and we're shooting
for 500."

terson is similar. and even cheaper
to the students-only Is cents
complete with dessert. One plate
yesterday included meat loaf with
tomato sauce, mashed potatoes
bread, butter and milk. and apple
raisin salad. An alternative plate
substituted vegetable soup and a
liverwurst sandwich. Contrasted
to the 80 who used to order the
old plate, the number shot up last
Friday to 200 and remained al
the $50 level yesterday.
Principal Walker Savoy, like
Techs Mr.. Bish, was enthusiastic
"This is having two significant
results" he declared. More chill
dren are getting a balanced lunch
And they like their luncheon re-
cess better" Garnet-Patterson' s
PTA contributed $100 for new
trays and silver to help make the
Improvement possible, Mr.. Savoy
added. Service has been speeded
up because children buy plate
lunch tickets in advance.
Poster campaigns on bulletin
boards have aided the project in
both schools. The posters are pro-
duced by art students, and Gar
Patterson now has a competi-
ton in progress for the best ones,
The price cuts on the plate
lunches are being made possible
by expert use of surplus foods dis
tributed to the District schools
and other institutions by the Fed
eral Government. Potatoes, but
ter. apples. dried fruit, dried eggs
and dried milk are the principal
items at present.

A man was acquitted today of a
gambling charge during a one
minute trial.
The trial is believed to be the
shortest ever held in District
Court.
The defendant. George Cannon,
A, colored. 1900 block of Sixth
street NV, was charged with set
ting up a gaming table in his home
for a card game known as skin. :"
Assistant United States Attor-
ney John D. Lane told Judge
Alexander Holtzof that Mr.. Cam
non denied the charge but he had
expressed a willingness to plead to
lesser charge Of permitting gam
ing by others.
Prosecutor Lane added, however,
that Cannon had taken no cut
from the game and that there were
indications the defendant had
made no profit.
Judge Holtzoff said: Under that
circumstance every one who has
a poker game at his home would
be committing a crime"
Judge Holtzof then asked De-
fense Counsel Albert Graham if

rs far as the first three pri-
mary classes are concerned, will
be abolished in Arlington schools
under a plan adopted last night

Kerr Natural Gas Bill
Due for Close Vote
In Senate Today
BY the Assoeiutsd Press

A bitterly contested bill to limit
Federal regulation of the natural
gas industry approached vote
today in the Senate.
Senator Kerr, Democrat, of
Oklahoma, author of the measure,
and other hackers claimed FIVE
vote margin. Both sides agreed
the actual roll call test would
be close. The issue has brought a
wide split in party ranks.
The Kerr bill would prevent the
Federal Power Commission from
regulating rates charged by So
called Independent producers OF
natural gas. A similar bill already
has passed the House.
Kefauver Offers Amendment.
Senator Kefauver, Democrat, OF
Tennessee, one of a bipartisan
group which has been fighting the
bill, offered a compromise yester-
day. This would exempt produc-
ers of less than two billion cubic
feet year, or whose revenues are
less than $250,000 annually. Back
ers said this would free little fel-
lows among the gas producers
from Federal regulations which
they claim hamper their opera
tions. Senator Kefauver said it
would exempt all but 81 producing
companies.
Senator Douglas, Democrat, OF
Illinois. who has been leading floor
opposition to the bill, said he
would vote for the Kefauver
amendment.
Dispute Over FPC Powers.
At present the Federal Power
Commission regulates the pipeline
companies which carry natural
gas in Interstate Commerce. 1t
has done this since 1898, but
there is long and angry dispute
about whether Congress intended
the FPC regulation to extend
down to the producers, who are
not affiliated or owned by pipe
line companies.
Senator Douglas and other
Senators from large cities and in
dustrial areas contend that lack
of Federal regulation of prices for
gas as it moves into pipelines
would add millions of dollars to
the bills of consumers and indus
tries.
Senator Lyndon Johnson, Demo-
crat. of Texas, one of the bills
supporters. said opponents are
trying to protect coal from COM
petition by gas.
Senator Aiken, Republican, of
Vermont said the gas producers
had threatened to cut off pipeline
supplies unless the IL New Eng
land Senators agreed to exempt
them from controls.

UN Group Fails In
Peace Try; Arab
0bstinacy Blamed

FLUSHING MEADOW, (JTA)
The U.N. Palestine Cancellation
Commission has failed to achieve
any concrete results from its two
wear effort to resolve outstanding
problems between the Arab states
and Israel and bring peace to
Palestine.
The effort broke down over
Arab refusal to negotiate directly
with Israel and to enter into gen
eral peace discussions with all
problems considered equally.
The concession of failure and
it's major cause are revealed in
full for the first time in 70-page
progress" report prepared by the
Commission for submission to the
present session of the U.N. Gen
eral Assembly.
These are the highlights of the
recital:
1. AS of now, the situation is
wholly stalemated.
2. The Commission adopted
the two basic proposals advanced
by Israel, namely, that the peace
talks be conducted primarily
through direct Arab-Israel nego-
tiations and that no prior condi-
tions prejudge these negotiations.
In a series of notes to the Arab
governments during the course OF
this year, the Commission pressed
these proposals but met complete
Arab rejection of them.
The Arab states insisted on dis
cussion only through the commits
sion and held to the view that
until Israel accepted the principal
of the return and compensation OF
all refugees no peace negotiations
could be carried on.
Arabs Ask Partition Lines
8. On the territorial question,
Israel based itself on the existing
situation and stated it's desire to
negotiate over the GAIA strip and
certain northern areas, holding
that the proper territorial settle
ment should encompass the Egyp-
tian and Lebanese borders that
existed under the British Mandate
The Arabs took the view that
there should be a reversion to the
| partition borders, including Is
raeTs cession of the Negev and
Eastern Galilee.
4. The Commissions compro-
| mise proposal on a modus vivendl
for negotiations-the setting up OF
mixed committees to deal with
specific issues, a system patterned
on the U.N. mixed armistice con-
demned by the Arab governments

 Just remember that all place. names consist of only one word and remember to show the extra letter. There is only one correct answer to each Alaskagram.
