Meantime the British Secret

poured men and supplies into Hol-
land, landing them by parachute
at agreed on points. There the
German reception committees, act

all the information possible. includ-

Some of these new men also were

NEW YORK A-How German

The feat shapes up as one of the
most amazing ever recorded In the

Titled London Calling North

that:

These revelations caused such a

Toduy's Business Mirror

1916. Its peak, as q result Of World
War II spending, was 27S billion
dollars In February Of that year.
The U. S. Treasury Is facing the
unpleasant task Of raising more
money before the end Of the year.
unless some way Il found to cut
spending. The Treasury deficit Is
mounting steadily. So far this
month, Treasury receipts have
trailed Treasury spending by about
ia billion dollars.
Congress can do something about
cutting spending in future years,
but can't do much about slowing
down spending for the rest Of this
year.
The Treasury Is in its present
fix because: |. Spending continues
at a great rate in spite of con.
|gressional economy drives; 2. Tax
receipts fell below expectations.
Part Of this drop in tax receipts
below expectations was due to the
steel strike last summer. which
pared Treasury receipts by an O..
timated one billion dollars. Steel
companies. and others affected BY
the strike, reported sharply re.
|duced earnings.
Even SO, the Treasury took 90
much from individual incomes last
year that its total receipts hit 4
record Of more than 6S billion
dollars. II had hoped to take more.
This fiscal year 1t expects to top
last years record by nearly 3IA
billion dollars more--but most Of
that viii roll in during the first
part Of 1854. For the rest of. 1858
the story is going to be more out
go than income.
Most bankers agree that the best
way TO keep the Treasury from
having 10 ask that the debt limit
be raised would be TO cut back
government spending now.
The reverse side 10 that coin II
that any stable spending cut would
be quickly felt by business.

something like temperature 100.
humidity 3712, or possibly tenn
perature 95. humidity 5434,
which is the sort of snafu SUI
pervisor loves but the average
employe finds slightly frustrat-
ing.
An added Illustration arises
from the fact that while the
formula applies to all Govern
ment buildings which are not
air conditioned, it's actually ap-
piled most often to the tempos
because they're the ones that
get the hottest. Wartime con-
struction and lack of proper in
Sulation boost their temperatures
several degrees above the average
whenever the thermometer starts
to climb.
So far this year, in spite of
some bake-oven days, workers
have been sent home only three
times because of heat. Twenty
employees of a Social Security
unit in a temporary building were
dismissed on June 80 for a total
loss of 20 manhours of work.
On July 2, 14,534 employees of
Is agencies in Is buildings were
dismissed for a total loss OF
28.620 manhours.
In 1852, employees were re-
leased five times in June and
five times in July The 10 in
stances involved 198,404 en-
ployes and added UP to 479,23C
manhours lost.
For awhile, steps were taken
to air-condition more Offices ir
the tempos. But Republican
economy-and possibly Repub'
lican desire to keep everybody
on the job-has put a stop tt
that.
And the reaction? Well, it ISM
happy. In typical Offices il
Tempo E, Fourth and Jefferson
streets S.W., employees sum w
the general disgruntlemen in M
uncertain terms.
Says Mrs. Mae Allison, trans
portation clerk in the Navy Re
gional Office of Accounts:
Employees should definitely b.
sent home oftener. because ever
when the temperature seem
mild outside the building catche
the sun and holds the heat. AM
it has to be closed for securit,
reasons at night. so there ism
much chance for it to air out.
Most people around here seen
to think we ought to have air

Two Women Accuse Men
OF Fort Foote Park Attack

Warrants charging rape have
been sworn out against two Dis
trict men by two women as an
aftermath of an early-morning
auto ride to Fort Foote Park.
According to United States
Park Police, one of the men al
ready has been charged and is
held without bond in the Mont
gomery County Jail at Rockville.
Police said Henry Davis Struble,
%, of the 5000 block of First
street S.W., was charged with
rape and assault with intent to
rape.
Similar warrants have been
sworn out against a sailor based
at the Anacostia Naval Air Sta
ton but have not yet been
served, Park Police said.
The alleged assaults took place
after the two women. one IS and
other SO, had accepted a ride
with the men to Fort Foote Park,
according to police. They met
earlier Wednesday night in a
Southwest Washington bar,
police said.
Park Police said no hearing
has been set yet but that a
preliminary trial probably will
be held before United States

Arlington Appeal
AGAINST Green's S Suits
Goes 10 High Court

The Arlington School Boards
attempt to block further suits by
John Locke Green was to be
carried to the State Supreme
Court today.
James H. SimmondS, who with
Armistead L. Boothe is repre-
senting the board, said he would
ask Supreme Court Justice Willis
Miller at noon today for a tenn
porary injunction in the case
The restraining order would bar
Mr.. Green from resuming his at
tempts to GUST three Federal en-
ployes from the board.
The supreme court ruled
against Mr.. Green in June and
refused him a rehearing earlier
this month. Mr.. Green contends
the court was misled in the
earlier hearings and says the
decision would be reversed If a
new suit is heard.
Last Tuesday, Arlington Cir
cult Judge Walter T. Mccarthy
denied Mr.. Simmonds' petition
for a temporary injunction
Judge Mccarthy said he would
consider the restraining order
in connection with actual hear
ing of the newest case filed by
Mr.. Green against the three
board members.
Judge Mccarthy also directed
that the way be cleared for i'm
mediate appeal of his decision to
the State Supreme Court, if
School Board attorneys decided
on that step.
Mr.. Simmonds said he is seek
ing the restraining order because
the board was unable to sell
$2.8 million in school construc-
ton bonds while litigation is
pending.
