Hearing
Ends in Conflict
Lone Sees Analysis
Ready in z Months

The District Zoning Commits
sion's seven-day public hearing
on the $141,000 city-wide recon-
ing plan of Harold NJ. Lewis
ended late yesterday on the note
of conflict that marked its en-
tire course.
The commission staff now
will sift through the voluminous
testimony of some 100 witnesses
to get it in order for analysis
by the five-member coming body
| Brig. Gen. Thomas A. Lane
District Engineer Commissioner
and chairman of the Zoning
Commission. said he hopes this
process can be completed in
about two months. Gen. Lane
refused to make a guess as to
how long the zoners may require
to reach a final decision.
In any event, he said. it is
obvious" that the sweeping
coming revisions proposed BY
Consultant Lewis will not stanC
as they are" He would not say
however. which parts of the rec.
concentrations are most likely tt
be modified BY the commission
Many Would Junk Plan
Other coming officials main
tanned that the Lewis plan is
useful at least as a framework
for plotting land uses leading tc
the orderly and healthful growth
of Washington. Many prominent
builders. developers and archi-
tects throughout the sessions
firmly urged junking all of the
Lewis plan as "unrealistic," to
say the least.
After hearing nearly a score
OF witnesses yesterday, the CON-
mission announced additional
written statements and memo
randa on any of the coming issues
will be accepted through next
Friday. These should be delivered
to Room 204. District Building.
Testimony Of the three-houl
session was confined chiefly to
objections to Mr.. Lewis plans

ing over. Mr. Lane reopened dis
cussion on other areas. spokes-
men for which had been unable
to testify on the appointed day.
Vehement Criticism
Some Of the more vehement
criticism came from Gerald j,
Miller. representing two North
east and Southeast liquor stores.
Mr.. Miller, who said he also
spoke for nearly $50 small bus
inesses in the two areas, charged
the Lewis recommendations were
the "grossest manifestation of
nom observation" He said the
present scattered commercial
coming near Tenth street and
Pennsylvania avenue Sc. and
Thirteenth street and Constitu-
ton avenue NE. should not be
disturbed in favor Of residential
use as urged by the Lewis pro-
posal.

Jdvits Asks I'd
Juvenile Judue
Deeply Concerned
About D. c. Problem

Senator JavitS. Republican Of
New York, has joined the Dis
trict Commissioners and legal
and law enforcement groups here
in calling for legislation to pro-
vide a second judge for Juvenile
Court.
The legislator made an appeal
for a two-judge Juvenile Court
in the Senate.
"As attorney general OF the
State Of New York, he said, II
was deeply concerned with crime
by youths and juvenile delin-
quency. and so my interest as a
member of the committee on the
District of Columbia is attracted
to that problem in the city OF
Washington.
I'VE find the Juvenile Court
in the District Of Columbia
heavily overloaded and a grave
need for an additional judge in
that court. 1t is for that reason
that l call attention to this
matter"
Citing figures to show that
the courts annual load of hear
ings has grown from $500 in
1888 to 10000 in the past fiscal
year, Senator Javits called par
ticular attention to the fact that
about 1000 Of the courts cases
are Of the felony type.
He said the u. S. District
Court for the District Of Column
bia uses at least three judges to
handle its annual felony case
load Of $500. while the Juvenile
Court, with 1000 such cases,
must rely on one judge.
He told the Senate the Dis
trict Bar Association. the Dis
trict's Council on Law Enforce
ment. the Washington Criminal
Justice Association, the Metro
politan Washington Chapter of
the National Association of So
cial Workers and other civic
groups have Joined the Commits
sioners in recommending a Sec
ond judge for Juvenile Court.

The
Rambler
Gets Involved
With the Courts
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

At 5:45 pm, the last trucks
roll away from the Eleventh
street loading platform of this
building with the last of the
might Final-Sports" edition.
At $50 the other evening,
the Rambler parked his car
there and went to dinner.
When he returned, there
was a ticket on it. The traffic
policeman had written in the
time very clearly-5:55 pm.
After 6 pm, you can park
there all night-if you can
find a space.
This obvious application of
the letter rather than the
spirit Of the law annoyed the
Rambler. The object is to
allow the trucks to be loaded
and get away.
He took the ticket to NUM-
cipal Court determined to do
something about it - above
board and in a perfectly legal
way.
He was sent to the Central
Violations Bureau on the first
floor, where a sign next to the
cashiers window made him
aware of his rights. 1t read:

He asked. He was sent to an
Office on the third floor. The
man there looked at the ticket,

Grant
Plan 10 Expire
Surplus Program to
Replace Handouts

Welfare Director Gerard M.
Shea said today he is expecting
the Districts newly announced
surplus food program to replace
the city's present emergency pro-
gram Of grocery grants to the
needy.
No funds are in sight after
July / to continue the grocery
handouts on which the city is
now spending nearly $1,000 a
day. Mr.. Shea said. He added
that the Commissioners have in
dicated to him no plans to con-
tinue the program beyond its
scheduled expiration June 30.
Mr.. Shea said the new surplus
food program. which was an
nounced yesterday. will result in
the distribution of more free
food than the emergency plan,
which was initiated last March.
The Welfare Department has
estimated that some $4,000 per-
sons will be eligible to receive
Agriculture Department surplus
food. and Mr.. Shea said it is
expected that between 500. 900
and 100000 worth will be dis
tributed in the next year.
The city already has ordered
almost 100000 pounds of dried
milk, processed cheese, all-pur-
pose flour and yellow corn meal,
the four surplus foods currently
available. Distribution is ex-
pected to get under way by the
last week Of the month or the
first of July.
Setting Up New Unit
A new surplus food division is
being set up by the department,
but an Office has not yet been
established for it and the city is
not yet ready to receive appli-
cations for the free food.
All the present 10000 relief
recipients will be eligible for the
surplus food. Needy families re-
ferred by private welfare agencies
also will be able TO get monthly
allotments.
To receive the free food
persons must have cooking facili-
ties and eat meals in their own
homes. Only District residents
will be eligible.
The District will require pri-
vate agencies referring nom
relief recipients for aid to in
vestigate their need.
Nonrelief recipients will be
able to get the food only If their
income is not above set of
ceilings established by the city.
The monthly limits are. One
person, sos; two. Sl35. three.
SITS. Larger families will be
allowed an extra $25 per person.
Property, Income Measure Set
Personal property other than
household goods and cash or
savings exceeding twice the al
lowable income will make an APP
plicant ineligible. So will the
ownership Of real estate assessed
at IL times the allowable MONTH
ly income or more.
The department also plans to
review eligibility at least every
three months.
Spokesman said that under
standards set up by the Agri-
culture Department, a family
probably would be entitled to
pick up some Of the free food
once or twice a month in rela-
lively small quantities.
The city has budgeted $3.50, 900
to pay the administration cost of
the surplus food program for the
next year.
The emergency grocery distri-
button which has been under
way since March has cost so far
about $4,000. More than 5000
grocery orders have been issued
under this program.

IN event of personal contact.
Actually there need be no more
danger about the use of anhydrous
ammonia than there is in the use of
gasoline, prOpane or butane. Gasoline
is a highly inflammable and explosive
material Gasoline is widely used as
q fuel for automobiles, tractors, en-
gines of all types, fuel for stoves, and
in the past was commonly used as q
fuel in gasoline lanterns. We learned
how to use gasoline with safety, ObServ-
ing and practicing the necessary pre-
cautions required in its use. The same
has been true with propane and butane.
So it will be with anhydrous ammonia.
Anhydrous ammonia differs in its
physical properties from the fuels
mentioned above. 1t is non-inflammable
and is not considered fire hazard.

with other machinery and equipment.
If an ammonia leak should occur and
16 to Is per cent of the air by volume
is replaced by the ammonia gas, and
there is no free movement of air, there
is a danger of explosion from any
source of open flame. For that reason
the transfer of ammonia or checking
equipment for leaks should be per-
formed out-of-doors as much as possible.
Safety Precautions
Observe these rules whenever you
ore around anhydrous ammonia.

Avoid breathing the fumes. Excessive
breathing can burn or injure the tender
membranes of the nose and throat.

To be safe in ones activities requires
that one be keen observer, possess

Yes, accidents do happen, with widely
varying degrees of severity. Let's

A Recent Incident
It was brought to our attention a

Longer Season to
 Hunt Waterfowl In Alaska

WASHINGTON, P-A longer hunting season for waterfowl in Alaska this year was announced today by the Interior Depart ment.
 The season for waterfowl, with certain exceptions, and coots will begin on Sept. l and continue through Nov. 29 throughout the territory to afford more equitable opportunity for Alaska hunters to harvest these species. The clos ing date last year was Nov. 22.
 The Alaska season for Will sons snipe will be Sept. 1-Oct. 15, inclusive
 The season dates and bag limits for old-squaW, harlequin, scoter, cider, and American and red breasted merganser ducks in specified areas of Alaska remains unchanged.
 The bag and possession limits on waterfowl generally and o1 coots and Wilson's snipe in Alas ka remains unchanged except for reduction in the number of American and red-breasted mer- ganser ducks which may be taken. The regulations in 1857 will pro- vide a daily bag limit of five and a possession limit of 10 on these species which may be in addition to the prescribed limits on other ducks.
 The department said that the detailed regulations for the hunt ing of migratory waterfowl and coots in the States will not be issued until late in August,

Canada and US. Will Try to Sail
 Northwest Passage

SAN FRANCISCO, R-Cana- dian and US. ships will team up again this summer to try to sail thru what is believed to be a usable northwest passage for thin skinned cargo ships in the Canadian arctic
 It is part of the 1857 arctic op- erations of the Military Sea Transportation Service under US. Vice Admiral John M Will.
 This summers operations also include the ferrying of construc- tion materials and supplies to US. defense outposts in the far north, by 96 vessels.
 Starting at Shepherd Bay in The Northwest Territories, the icebreakers HMCS Labrador and the US. Coast Guard vessels Storis, Spar and Bramble will attempt to forge thru arctic ice fields to the Atlantic, opening a route for other MSTS ships.
 The route will pass thru the narrow Bellot Strait, N.W.T., 25O miles north of Shepherd Bay.
 BeIlot Strait was successfully traversed by the RCMP supply vessel St. Koch on its two voy- ages around the continent in 1940-44.
 HMCS Labrador also navigated a deep water course thru Lancas- ter Sound, Viscount Melville Sound and Prince of Wales Strait in 1854. But it was found that this route can be used only by icebreakers and on only good ice conditions.
 With the exception of ice breakers, only shallow draft yes sels have so far attempted the northwest passage.
