boardReaffirI1l,
Secrecy. Policy
On Relief Rolls
Will Submit Bill
Little Changed
! From Lost Years

The Board Of Public Welfare
has reaf1rmed its stand on keep
ing confidential the names Of
persons on relief.
The board win send to the
Commissioners. on Monday, vir-
tually the same bill it submitted
{ last year. The bill, passed by
the Senate, took out the provi-
sions for keeping secret the
names Of those on relief and sub
mitted. in its place. provisions
that would enable the District
Commissioners. In their discre-
ton. to write such rules and reg
ulations as they saw fit.
At a meeting yesterday, the
Welfare Board decided to stick
by its original plan as to secrecy
and added two technical changes
in the bill. One would require
spouse, father. mother or child
living in the District and able to
support the person on relief
to do so.
Waiver Privilege.
The other change would allow
the Commissioners to waive the
repayment Of money paid to per-
sons on relief. if such payment
would deprive the relative Of
subsistence needed to maintain a
minimum standard of living.
While the board would keep
the names confidential, it has
entered into agreements with 81
agencies and hospitals. which
are allowed to see the list in con-
nection with their own work.
Gerard M. Shea, director of the
Department of Public Welfare,
reported to the board that the
receiving home is overcrowded
and that the average population,
which was n in 1862, has risen
to So this month. On one day.
he said, t09 children were in the
home. about q third of them
under 13, He said the overcrowd-
ing is dangerous and is creating
a deficiency in the food budget.
Reports ON Riot.
Donald D. Brewer, assistant
director of the department, re-
ported to the board on the recent
riot at the Industrial Home
School, for Colored Girls, in
which three policemen were in
jured. He said a male guard is
on duty there at night now to
prevent any further outbreaks.
He said that because of over
croWding at the District Training
School a survey is being made to
see if some of the older children
can be returned to their homes.
He said this is the only imme-
diate solution of the problem
until funds are made available
for new construction.
A committee of three board
members, the Rev. L. Maylard
Catching, Mrs. Alpha Jones and
Mrs. Bradford Moses, was ap-
pointed to investigate these con-
ditions as well as the riot and
report back to the board at its
meeting on February q.

luctant to apply the word

Research on the period needed
for treatment produced this gem
eral observation. Dr. Chapman
said:

sleeping habits become regular
his blood pressure remains
steady. his weight reaches a
regular level and his eating
habits improve.

came in" DR.. Chapman said,
"and. with q feeling Of we'll

temptation to return to drugs %
1S5 Days Best Average.
The difficulty with a set period
of treatment. DR.. Chapman said,
Is that many view it as a period
of imprisonment, rather than as
a term Of treatment Also. he
said, some patients need longer
treatment than others, but the
135 days Is considered the best
average.
In addition to its job OF treat
ing drug addicts, q constant pro-
gram Of research into drug adj
diction is carried on at the hos
pital. The law requires that the
staff test all new drugs to de-
termine II they are habit
| forming.
The hospital also is doing
some Of the research In the
search for a drug which will kill
pain but won't be habit forming.
DR.. Chapman is peSsimistic
about chances for success in this
field.
Thousands Tested.
Literally thousands Of drugs
have been Synthesized in the
search for one which will kill
pain without the bad side effects
OF present drugs" he said. "The
research men are looking for
that part of the drug which
causes addiction. If they find
it, they'll separate it, and see if
what's left still will kill pain"
The research has turned up
some intriguing angles for fur
ther study. For example, DR..
Chapman said. there is strong
evidence that the barbiturates-
classed now as non-habit form
ing-have q pattern similar to
morphine in that there are spe-
cif1c withdrawal symptoms.
The treatment and the re-
search at the hospital has been
going on since 1889, and the
doctors have learned many
things about drug addiction.
But a constant effort is needed
to find and treat the addicts, DR..
Chapman has said. There are
many people plagued with ten
slons, which make them addic-
tion-prone, and the addict on the
street can infect others.

Styling You Can
Stay Proud OF

Styling, Of course, i a matter Of personal
taste. Because we think Chevrolet is the best
looking car in its field, doesn't necessarily
mean you'll think 90, too. But we can tell
you that the majority of our showroom
visitors prefer Chevrolet styling and compare
its appearance most favorably with cars
costing great deal more.
And you might consider this: Chevrolet
styling is the newest in its field. It's the kind
of styling that stays new, too. For it is based,
not on fads or extremes, but on the funda-
mentals of good, modern design.
Wen be glad to leave the question of
Chevrolet styling up to you. We're confident
that you'll agree it's styling you can be proud
of-today and for long time to come.

A Smoother and a
Safer Ride

Comfort'sa big consideration to almost every
buyer. And almost every car claims to be
exceptionally comfortable. Well, here are
some facts bearing on comfort that you can
Judge for yourself
To begin with, Chevrolet is the heaviest low
priced car. Model for model, Chevrolet will
weight as much as 200 pounds more than the
other makes. You often hear people say they
buy high-priced cars because they're heavier,
hold the road better and ride better. Well,
isn't it logical, then, that Chevrolet's extra
weight (which comes from extra strength of
body and frame) would result in better ride?
Then, Chevrolet is the only low-priced car
with Untitled Knee Action. That means that
the entire front suspension system is assem-
bled and balanced as separate unit. Only
Chevrolet takes this extra step.
And, as you go smoothly, SO you stop
smoothly. Chevrolet's greatly improved
brakes with their 11-inch drums are the
largest in the low-price field. This larger size

"Rumba dancing can be as
much fun as football" says
Rita, adding:
"And you're not penalized
for backfield In motion"
She demonstrated her theory
on a Staid, British Journalist,
who was about as unlikely and
as unwilling a guinea pig as she
could find at the moment. He
was chatting with Miss Moreno
at q movie party when the or

The Englishman had never
danced q rumba in his life.
In fact, he later admitted that

The One Automobile Body
Almost Everybody Knows

E go Il ~ I'll
It's not really surprising that 80 o2many people
prefer Cheyrolet's appearance. For Chevrolet
is the only low-priced car with Body by
Fisher. And Fisher, az you know, is the only
automobile body manufacturer with world
wide reputation for styling, craftsmanship
and quality.
Fisher quality goes lot deeper than the
outside, too. You see it in the colorful rich
ness of Chevrolet interiors that match the
exterior color of your choice. You enjoy it in
the many extra conveniences and comforts
Chevrolet offers you. And you even hear it
when you slam the door. That solid thud
springs from the protective strength of Fisher
Unisteel construction with steel welded to
steel into single massive unit.
Many of Americas highest-priced cars
feature Body by Fisher. Because of quantity
purchases of materials and greater produc-
tion, Fisher can-and does-build extra
quality into the Chevrolet body and interiors.

Chevrolet is the
LOwest-P Priced Line

Certainly, price is one of the most important
factors of all. We're glad to be able to tell you
that Chevrolet is the lowest-priced line in its
field. In fact, it is Americas lowest-priced
full-size car.
Now, you might well ask, "How can
Chevrolet offer me more and still cost less?"
There is simple, logical answer to that.
Remember that Chevrolet builds more cars
than any other manufacturer. Chevrolet,
along with General Motors, has greater
facilities for research, for engineering and
production. So, isn't it reasonable that these
greater facilities bring manufacturing advan-
tages and economies which Chevrolet can
pass on to you in terms of higher quality at
lower price?

entirely new 115-h.p. "Blue- Flame engine
with rs to / compression ratio. 1t is the most
powerful engine in Chevrolet's field.
A Great Gain in
Gasoline Economy
Along with remarkable new performance,
Chevrolet's advanced engines give you far
greater gasoline mileage In fact, this year
marks the most important gain in economy
in Chevrolet history. And that includes SUBJ
stantial savings on overall upkeep, as well
as on gasoline.
Isn't economy of operation major factor
in choosing a car? And isn't it good to know
that the 1863 Chevrolet adds new luster to
Cheyrolet's longtime reputation for eco
nonsicol transportation?
New Getaway in the

Chevrolet brought you the first automatic
transmission in it's field. And now Chevrolet
brings you the ne,Oest and most advanced
one. The new Powerglide automatically drops
into Low range for starting and for passing
in city traffic. Then, as you glide along, it
slips smoothly and almost imperceptibly into

lower fuel consumption.
