closed that the Union Stockyard

The company applied weeks age
for 40 tons of steel and 1,1OO
pounds of copper. NPA let the ap-
plication hang fire, and finally
turned it down as contrary to reg
ulations relating to entertainment
and recreation construction. The
company went ahead and installed
the cooling equipment.
NPA's compliance division is in

ances that the Democrats will suf-
fer no more from the heat inside

First Session
Five-Point Discussion
includes Crime and
Housing Standards
By John w. Stepp

The Commissioners new Citi-
zens Advisory Council today had
its first business session and
promptly was given a handful
of hot potatoes to consider.
Established only two weeks ago
under the District government re-
organization plan, the 9-member
advisory body today heard:
l. A disclosure chat there is
going on a study of legislation
to establish minimum housing
standards to eliminate slums in
Washington in the future.
2. The report and recommen.
dations of the Senate Crime In
vestigating committee including
eight amendments to District
criminal laws.
3. A lively discussion of the So
called Connecticut point system
OF revoking drivers permits on the
basis of dement's for traffic viola
tions. The plan is under consid-
eTaClOn IOr use mere.
4. The commissioners tell their
ideas on the role of the advisory
group in putting the entire re-
Organization plan into effect.
5. An appeal by the command
ers of five major veterans groups
here to retain in full the recently
reduced functions Of the District
Veterans Service Center.
Part of Session Public.
The first part of today's session
OF the council was open to the
public.
Council Chairman Robert v.
Fleming later excluded press and
public from that portion of the
session devoted to what he called
housekeeping" matters. These
related to proposed procedures for
handling such administrative
matters as the budget, legislation
and regulations. The council also
was due to discuss behind closed
doors its proposed bylaws and op-
|erationS procedures.
1t was uncertain whether the
members would take up the ques-
ton OF the extent to which their
meetings would be open to the
public.
Engineer Commissioner Bernard
L. Robinson mentioned the min
imum housing standards in con-
nectior1 with his general explana-
ton to the council of some of the
problems facing the city.
Rehabilitation Problem.
He pointed out that the Rede-
velopment Land Agency currently
is tackling one of the biggest prob
Observation-Disclosures of a large
part of Southwest Washington.
The Commissioner explained
that since the city must foot part
of the bill for the Southwest re-
development I'VE must assure our
selves we will get a good return
on our investment"
He did not go into any details
on the housing legislation, simply
stating its general purpose.

fused to say what the something

The implication was that plans
for pushing what propagandists
call gray atter"-propaganda
which is not identified as to source
may be under consideration as
a substitute for the completely
above-board Amerika.
Precensored by Russians.
Under an agreement signed with
the Soviet government in 1914
after five months negotiations,
was distributed in Mos
COW by the official Soviet agency
Soyuzepechat. It was precensored
by Russian officials.
In size and formal. Amerika was
similar to Life magazine. It used
many pictures. The State Depart
ment said that as magazine
aimed at giving a true picture Of
American life, it never attacked
or even discussed Soviet institu-
tions or policy.
Each issue of the magazine from
the first of 1945 until December.
1949. was sold out completely.
"It soon became evident" the
State Department said, that the
Soviet government was disturbed
at the existence of a publication
permitting its citizen free and
easy comparison between life in
the U. S. A. and in the U. S. S. r. I"
The first Soviet attack on Amer
ika appeared in 1947 when the
Moscow Journal Culture and Life
assailed it as vulgar, false and
wicked. Since that time more
than IS separate attacks have
in Soviet publications.
The State Department said it
got only "evasive" answers to re-
quests for a breakdown of ma
tional circulation figures when the
Soviet reported steady drops in
sales.
