more than 100000 below the num-
Der for the previous year to a to-
tai of 128,055, the District Unem-
ployment Compensation Board

Decade after decade the Well-to-
do citizens of Georgetown have
built houses in the fashion Of their
day.
Much of the charm of this old
est community within the District
has been it's variety Of architecture
its eclecticism (Which means
choose your own style. The Vic
torian houses built in the 80s on
q street known as Cookies Row"
are as much Georgetown as the
Old Stone House on M street.
But all this is halted by the
workings of the Old Georgetown
Law.
In effect since last September
%, the law provides that all plans
for new construction or altera-
tons of buildings in Georgetown
be submitted to a board of three
architects. The architects have
been approving only those designs
consistent with the Colonial or
Federal periods.
A modern house such as Ambas-
sador Stanley Woodward has just
completed on N street would not be
approved under the present dis
cipline. And a charming eccen-
tricity such as Miss Genevieve B.
Wimsatt's conversion of a row
house on Twenty eighth street into
la pagoda with Chinese lions guard
ing the door would be absolutely
out.
Architects Experience.
The workings of the old George
town law. enacted with support
of Georgetown citizen groups. were
brought to public attention by the
recent experience of Miss Rather
inc Gibbs.
Miss Gibbs, an architect, was
told to remove the window frames
from the house she is building for
herself on Dumbarton street. A
woman neighbor had noticed that
they were of the sliding-sash rath-
err than of the sash weight variety.
Miss Gibbs took her case before
the Commissioners. Newspaper ac-
counts of the hearing noted Miss
Gibbs plea for windows that were
easy to wash. A re-examination
of what went on. shows that the
principal issue was not one of
utility but of appearance.
! Miss Gibbs was not asking to
install a plate-glass picture WIN
dow. She had designed long
opening on the second floor and
divided it into three window
frames. There were to be 10 panes
in each frame, Is inches wide and
IL inches high.
! Economic Argument Offered.
The three-man board of archi-
tects, created by the Old George
town law. wanted her to have the
long dimension of the windows
vertical instead of horizontal.
I Walter Macomber, chairman oil
the board, pointed out that ver-
tical panes are traditional in the
old architecture and that horizon
tai panes are a modern departure
He entered an economic argument
for the smaller panes the board

Created by Citizens.
The Old Georgetown Law had its
inception about two years ago
in a committee of the Progressive
Citizens Association of George
town. A meeting was called to pro-
tect Old Georgetown. One of the
immediate issues was the prospect
that the old store buildings at
Thirtieth and M streets pre-
Revolutionary buildings of which
few remain in Georgetown -
would be torn down. Owned by
two charitable institutions through
inheritance, they were bringing
in little revenue. Use of the prop
erty as a parking lot had been
suggested by the institutions
boards.
i The meeting was called to con-
slider ordinances in effect in Alex
andria and Charleston, S. c., for
! the preservation of old buildings
i Among the members of the
COMMITTEE were Miss Dorothea de
|Schweinitz, Stephen P. Dorsey
Mrs. Harold B. Hinton. Mrs. Frank
West, Frederick H. Brooke, Cow
Ierneur Morris Helfenstein and
Mrs. Charles J. Hubbard. A law
was suggested to protect build
Iings more than 100 years old.

Istruction in the entire area,
something the proponents hadn't
dared to ask.
While most of the inhabitants
apparently are satisfied. a few
who view the present interpre-
Itation of he act with alarm point
out:
/. That there are about 2,50C
houses in Georgetown but only
about 400 of them were built be-
fore 1925, the Federal Period
which is now being enforced or
all new construction.
2. That except for a few large
places such as Dumbarton Oaks
and Tudor Hall. the northern bor-
der of "Old Georgetown" is N
street and in the area encompasseC
by the act are scores of brick row
houses built in the COS with ugly
square bay windows which might
well be modernized with clean
simple lines instead of pretty
Georgian" patterns.
3. That no standards for new
construction are prescribed in thu

Secresi Opposes
Hasiy Exams For
Army Personnel
Congressman Says
That Selective
Service Is Lax

Rep. Robert T. Secrest today
asked the army in Washington
to investigate complaints that
youths called for military serv.
ice are not getting proper pre-.
induction physical examinations
Secrest made public letter
to the army in which he quoted
w. T. Bullock, former Americas
Legion post commander al
Woodsfield, as saying he has
positive knowledge" that re.
cent group of IA inductees from
Monroe county, was Completely
examined in less than 80 minut-
es."
In one case, Bullock reported
youth previously certified by
a private doctor as having a dia-
bette condition was accepted fo1
military service.
Secrest further quoted Bull
lock as saying that an earlier
group of IL men was completely
examined in % minutes"
In addition Bullock said many
prospective draftees had given up
their jobs after they had passed
their preinduction examination,
only to fail induction examin-
alton and then return home un-
employed.
"This is great hardship on
them and it causes a lot of con-
fusion and inconvience," he said,
In some cases, he continued,
men have told army doctors they
had physical defects but were
inducted never the less. Shortly
after arriving at training camp,
they would be given a medical
discharged and returned to their
homes to receive compensation,
Bullock said.
Meanwhile, Secrest added:
II am aware of the fact that
many young men can perform a
useful service with certain ply
sical defects, but / am anxious
that these defects be of such a
nature that they (the young
men) will not likely be dis
charged as a result of the same
defects"
Secrest first wrote National
Selective Service headquarters
about this situation late in JAN
uary.
Selective service referred Sec
rests letter to the army which
wrote the congressman:
"The preinduction physical ex-
animation conducted by the army
is very thorough and complete.
"While it is realized that some
inconvenience are bound to oc-
cur in the induction of several
million men, every effort is be-
ing made to keep them at a mini

''The most important obser-

appeared true both in the vo-

l2OO Farmers To
Sign Up For PIMA
March 81 Set AS
Local Deadline

With the closing date for sign
ing up the 1851 Agricultural
Conservation program only 2
days away, preliminary reports
from the Is townships in Noble
county indicate that approx
mately 1900 farmers will cooper
ate in the ACP this year. This
is about so percent of all the
farmers in Noble county and it
compares with the 1900 farmers
who cooperated in the program
in 1850.
Dale c. Williams, chairman of
the Ohio. State PIMA Committee,
said that farmers of Ohio have
only until March 81, 1851, in
which to sign up to be eligible
for assistance in carrying out
soil and water conservation
practices under the 1851 Agri-
cultural Conservation Program.
Because the stockpiling of
soil reserves is vital part of the
national defense program, VIM.
H. Archer, chairman of the Noble
county PIMA committee, urged
farmers to cooperate in this eff
fort to protect and improve the
county's soil and water resources.
The agricultural conservation
program, he explains, provides
assistance to farmers on a share
the-cost basis for carrying out
essential conservation measures.
This assistance serves as an in
centive and makes it possible for
farmers to carry out the needed
practices. In the chairman's
words, Gin a free country such as
ours where private ownership of
land is a sacred right, the agri-
cultural conservation program
provides a means for carrying
out a joint responsibility to the
benefit of both the farmer and
the Nation"
Chairman VIM. H. Archer
urges farmers who have not
signed up for 1851 to contact
their local PIMA committeeman
or call at the local PIMA office.
The offic evil be kept open
on Saturday during March.

Find SoiI-Saving
Practices Boost
Farming Income

Higher crop yields and more
livestock increased farm income
about so percent during a 13-
year period on small group ot
farms in Coshocton County
studied by agricultural econo-
mists.
Increase in income came on
farms where recommended soil
and water practices were applied
from 1887 to 1949, according to
r. H. Blosser, of the department
of agricultural economics and
rural sociology of the Ohio Agri-
cultural Experiment Station.
Blosser says increase in income
still Showed on the books" after
adjustments had been made for
the rise in farm price level.
In 1949, approximately so per
cent more grain and 20 percent
more hay were produced and
fed on these farms than in 1897.
Permanent pastures also were
improved by lining and fertiliz-
ing an average of 80 acres per
farm, according to recommends
tions. Amount of livestock raised
increased about 25 percent dur
ing the 13-year period.
Although crop yields increased
for Coshocton County from 1887
49, improvement in yields on the
conservation farms was approx
mately 20 percent more than the
increase in crop yields for the
county.
Higher yields on the conser-
vations farms were the result of
heavier applications of lime and
fertilizer, plowing under OF
larger crop residues, and use OF
contour strip cropping to con-
troll erosion.
