On Rat Prob|emi in
Redeye|opment Area

District Health Department
officials today promised to take
immediate steps to clean up a
serious rat condition created by
razing of homes in Area B of
the Southwest Redevelopment
Plan.
The promise came from Health
Director Seckinger and William
H. Cary, assistant director, di-
vision Of food inspection and
health engineering. 1t was made
to Albert Ginsberg. secretary of
the Southwest Businessmen S
Association.
Attention to the plight of
merchants plagued by rats in
the Area B section was made in
a letter written by Mr.. Ginsberg
to DR.. Seckinger.
The association officer said
merchants located near Area B
who have had no rat problems
for years. are now fighting a
losing battle against the rodents.
Blame for the new state of
affairs was placed by Mr.. Gins
berg on the fact the District did
nothing about the rats after
tenement houses in Area B were
torn down. Area B is bounded
by Fourth and Sixth streets, H
and I streets southwest.
He suggested that all residents
who vacate homes to be razed

cent was under arrest at Palm
Beach. Fla. today on charges
of bilking a Washington firm
with his favorite confidence
game.
The FBI said Frederick Harold
Brokaw, 63, who has served many
hitch behind bars between
streaks of lavish living, is
charged with using interstate
telegraph to obtain money
fraudulently.
Using more than so aliases
Brokaw moved around the coun-
try in a red and cream Packard
and La Sale, hiring college
boys to chauffeur him. He
found driving difficult because
of a wooden right leg.
Scheme Outlined.
The FBI said Brokaw used one
scheme to maintain a high liv-
ing standard, and outlined this
example in which he is charged
with outwitting a Washington
firm last September:
From Oakland, Md, he tele-
phoned the Washington repre-
sentative of a British metal COM
pany. He said he was Mr.. So
and-So, brother of the firms
president in London, had been
looking after business in New
England and just learned a sis

leans.
Brokaw had been driving
through the country with a group
of friends, but they let him out
at Philadelphia and unfortunate
ly drove away with Brokaw's
brief case and money, he re-
lated.
What he needed was $50 for
a plane trip to Philadelphia,
which he would repay when he
visited the Washington office.
He asked that the money be
wired to Terra Alta, w. Va.
Fast Switch.
Later that evening he called
"his Office" in Washington again,
confirmed that the money had
been wired. then quickly called
the Western Union Office in
Terra Alta. He asked that the
money be sent to Kingwood,
w. Va, where it would be more
convenient for him to pick it up.
By this device, Brokaw kept a
Jump ahead of the police. But
he isn't always so fortunate. His
record extends to 1918, and in
cludes six months of hard labor
in London.
The manager Of the Washing
ton Office said he would have
sworn Brokaw was English from
his impeccable accent.
The FBI said at least two
other charges have been filed
against Brokaw in Salisbury
Nd, and Philadelphia.

1O-0unceCan
Protested by
Local Brewers
D. G. Heads Asked
To Bon Containers
Of Large Firm

A tempest over a beer can
ragged today before the District
Commissioners.
Local brewers and distributors
asked the Commissioners to ban
the new 10.ounce beer can and
bottle in which the Anheuser.
Busch Co. of St. Louis has been
selling its Budweiser since the
first of the year. -.
At session in the board room
of the District Building, where
the Commissioners held part Of
their semiweekly regular meet
ing to hear the arguments,
George H. Hooker, secretary Of
the Associated Brewers, Inc,
warned that the 10-ounce can
was a move by the giant of the
industry" to seize a monopoly
position and drive small, local
UTeWerleS out OF business.
Charge Is Denied.
On behalf of Budweiser, Dwight
D. Ingamells, general counsel for
Anheuser-Busch. denied his COM
pany was trying to deceive the
public or obtain a monopoly In
the industry.
The company, he said. handles
only 8 per cent of total beer sales,
lost 100000 barrels in sales last
year and simply is trying to find
container which will maintain
its competitive position.
He agreed with his local OPP
ponents that the move permits
10-ounce cans of Budweiser to be
sold at about the same price as
12-ounce cans of local beer. The
company adopted this course. he
declared, after the Federal Trade
Commission had refused to let
them cut prices on their regular
12-ounce containers.
He pointed out that although
in Maryland the State cont roller
has prohibited the 10-ounce con-
tainer. the regulation had been
upset by a ruling of the attorney
general
Passage Predicted
Mr. Hooker, however, insisted
that a bill to ban the 10-ounce
container has since been intro
duced in the Maryland House Of
Delegates. He also predicted that
Virginia would soon ban the To-
ounce containers.
Mr.. Hooker, on behalf Of
brewers and distributors in the
District, Maryland and Virginia,
urged the Commissioners to
limit beer container sizes to z
ounces, 8 ounces, IL ounces, l6
ounces and 80 ounces, and one
quarter barrels and one-haf
barrels.
He warned that the District.
which received S610,953 under
its beer tax last year. might face
a decrease in the tax of one
sixth if beer drinkers switch to
the smaller 10-ounce container.
Beer Cans Displayed.
He displayed a 12-ounce can
OF Gunther beer and set be-
side it a 10-ounce can of the
same height, but smaller in
diameter. He also displayed the
12-ounce Budweiser can, of the
same height as the Gunther can,
and the 10-ounce Budweiser can,
which is about a half inch
shorter.
These, he said. are attempts
to deceive the public.
He warned that where local
beers are offered for sale in 12-
ounce cans at approximately the
same as that for 10-ounce Bud
weiser cans, the housewife is
going to take the nationally
known, premium beer"
Commissioner Spencer COM
mented dryly that, I'm not sure
the housewives aren't smarter

missioner took the question
