Trade Board Revives NostuIqic
Scenes and Tunes of the '2Os

There were tunes that were
popular when mother was a girl.
But mother wasn't there last
night, because the first session of
the Washington Board of Trades
annual midwinter dinner-based
on the theme of Tin Pan Alley
was a stag affair for 900 men,
bers.
From it's top song writer's to
itinerant pianists working for a
beer, Tin Pan Alley has been
dominated by characters in beretS
and loose-fowing ties.
So it was in the Mayflower Ho-
tel last night, and SO it will be
tonight at $50 o'clock, when the
dinner goes on for another 900
members.
Through the courtesy of the
trade group, lyrical people mean
der through the promenade of the
hotel to provide a dream atmos-
phere of Tin Pan Alley.

Goal Of 10000 More
Downtown PARKING
Spaces Set by Agency

downtown washington needs
10000 more parking spaces, &C
cording to the Motor Vehicle
Parking Agency.
The agency met in the Mu-
nicipal Center yesterday. 1t de-
cided additional space should be
provided:
In the retail area, 1000 addi-
tional parking spaces are needed
to reach a goal of $4,000.
In the Office building area 5000
additional spaces are needed to
reach a total of 10000.
In Government Area.
In the Government building
area $4,000 more spaces are need
ed to make a total of 41,000.
In two other areas an addi-
tional 5000 spaces are needed to
make total of $4,000.
These estimates are based on
the probability that about 40 per
cent of employees and customers
OF downtown commercial and gov
ernmental establishments would
come in their own automobiles.
The present ratio, the agency re-
ported, is about 80 per cent.
c. M. Upham, chairman of the
parking agency, said the addi-
tional spaces would bring the
downtown total up to $4,000. Dur
ing the last nine months, he said
5000 spaces have been added.
Garages Discussed.
The proposal to make a parking
garage out of the old Washing
ton Post Building will have tt
wait for some time, the agency
was told, because the Fedora
Government has taken over tn.
building.
The agency will help in what.
ever manner it can in the erec.
ton of proposed f1ve-story park.
ing garage on what is now usee
as a parking lot running from H

The proposed garage would have

Home Nurse Traininq
To Be Offered Here
For Civil Defense

The beginning of home nursing
training program for civil defense
wardens was announced today by
William Armstrong, director of
training for the warden service.
The goal of the program is to
train thousands of women volun-
teers in the principles of caring
for casualties in private homes,
freeing professional medical per-
sonnel for care of the most seri-
ously injured.
Meanwhile, the Commissioners
announced yesterday that Police
Inspector John E. Fondahl will be
appointed permanent civil defense
director for the District. if some
means can be found to allow him
to keep his present seniority and
retirement benefits.
On Force Since 1923.
The 52-year-old officer, who has
been serving as acting civil de-
fense director since the agency
was set up last summer, has served
on the police force since 1923.
Under the usual procedure, he
would have to resign from the de-
partment and forfeit his benefits
to accept the new post.
Mrs. Edward C. Magdeburger,
1912 Missouri avenue NV, has
been named as assistant director
Of training in charge of the
nursing program. Mrs. Magde-
burger is a member of the Board
of Education and vice chairman
of the District chapter of the
American Red Cross volunteer
nursing program.
Mrs. Magdeburger has an
nounced that the home nursing
division of the District chapter
is now ready to train volunteer
instructors, who will later conduct
classes in home nursing. The in
structors will get a 30-hour train
ing course. lasting about three
weeks.
Telephone Number Given.
Those wishing to apply should
call the home nursing division of
the District Red Cross Chapter at
Hobart $500.
Candidates for the standard 12-
hour course for warden volunteers
are asked to apply to warden Off
cials in their own neighborhoods.
When a sufficient number of VOL
unteers are obtained an instructor
will be assigned, Mrs. Magde-
burger, said.
The home nursing fits into the
District civil defense plan as an
important part of the follow-up
phase of an atomic attack. The
most seriously injured victims
would be routed to outlying hos
pitfalls and receiving centers. But
thousands of less seriously injured
persons could be cared for in pri-
vate homes after preliminary pro-
fessional attention.
In addition to home nursing
training. warden volunteers will
be given instruction in first aid
elementary fire fighting, COM
munications and litter bearing.

Strict Licensiino
Of 0fS|aughterers
Being Planned
Price Office Acts
To Keep Meat Supply
Flowing to Consumers
By Malcolm lomborne. Jr.

Vy "ot(OtTU LOHOOInex JI.
The Nations meat slaughterers
are heading for strict Government
licensing similar to that of World
War II, as the Office of Price
Sterilization prepares to keep
meat flowing to consumers.
Fully aware that it was the
meat shortage that finally broke
OPA's back last time, OPS off,
cials are giving high priority to
working out series of steps that
will keep down black markets.
hold down prices and equalize
supplies.
The plan being worked on
would require all established
elaughtererS to get special IL
censes and to make periodic re-
ports on the amounts of livestock
slaughtered.
May Call for Quotas.
1t may also call for assignment
of definite quotas for stated pc
RODS. and no slaughterer would
be allowed to exceed this amount
The plan would be designed to
discourage "hy-by-night" opera
tors who drained off some live
stock in the last war and pro-
duced an active black market in
meat.
Price officials were said to be
impressed by the gravity of the
meat situation stemming from
reports of Washington retailers
that wholesalers already have
started hiking the carcass price
of beef above what the retailers
consider the legal price.
Poultry Dealers Warned.
Meanwhile. the District price
Office disclosed late yesterday that
some poultry and egg dealers here
had the impression they were not
affected by the pirce freeze be-
cause the price of the two COM
modities is below parity.
District Director Vincent A.
Holmes warned such dealers that,
although poultry and. eggs are
below parity, they are still sub
ject to the price regulation.
He further explained that they
are permitted, however, to pass
along any dollar and cents in
crease they may get as result Of
the producer hiking the price.
Once the commodities reach 100
per cent of parity, any increase
the producer may make cannot
be passed along by the professor.
He must absorb it.
Warned of Great Demand.
Price officials received a warning
yesterday from a former OPA Of
fetal that demand for meat is so
great that existing price ceilings
probably would hold even when
"buttressed by slaughter controls. y
This was the opinion of j. Ken
meth Galbraith. deputy OPA direc-
tor in 1912 and 1943, who is now a
Harvard University economist. He
testified before the Senate House
Economic Committee.
Mr.. Galbraith said demand for
meat will put heavy drain on
feed supplies. Rising feed cost will
result and mean higher costs for
milk. poultry, eggs and cereals,
he said.
The economist concluded that
the general freeze ordered Janu-
ary 26 provides mo guarantee of
stable living costs"
