BY JAMES G. DEANE
Star Stan Writer

The Health Department to-
day approved and sent to the
District Building 402 license ap-
plications for restaurants and
other establishments.
William H. Carey, jr., chief
of the departments Bureau of
Food and Public Health Engi-
neering, said about 400 more
applications would go to the
Licenses and Inspections De-
partment late today or tomor-
row. The licenses will be issued
promptly, the inspections de-
partment said.
The applications are part of
a backlog of more than $500,
which had piled up in the
Health Department since last
October.
1t was disclosed last week
end that the pileup was causing
most Washington restaurants
and a large number of other
establishments to operate with
out licenses.
The backlog has resulted in
a move to strip the Health De-
partment of its power 10 clear
applications for license re-
newals. A draft order making
restaurant license renewals
automatic is about ready to be
presented to the Commission
ers, it was learned today.
A total of 6,119 license appli-
cations had been sent to the
Health Department for review
up to today. Up to yesterday,
only 457 of them had been re-
turned to the licensing de-
partment. Mr.. Carey said he
did not know how soon the
remainder could be rrocesSed
Only 13 applications have so
far been disapproved by Mr..

o. Roy Chalk, D. C. Transit

a first step toward establish
ment of what he says will be a
transit-operated Washington

Mr.. Chalk yesterday asked
the Civil Aeronautics Board
to exempt the transit COM
pAny from certain Federal legal
restrictions.
The exemption, he said, is
a necessary preliminary to
the helicopter move. An APP
phcation to the Public Utilities
Commission will follow If the
CAB grants the request, he
said.

it's arrival at the target.
But the populace can get
under cover in that time" he
added in impromptu remarks
before the group at the May
flower Hotel.
He also warned that those
who believe it possible to per-
form 100 per cent effective de-
fense of this Nation, in case
of attack, are "indulging in
wishful thinking"
I'VE must attune our minds
to the fact that we will suffer
millions of casualties if the

said.
Success Predicted
He concluded:
"The problems associated

"THESE MACHINES ARE

THESE MACHINES ARE
5000 horsepower centrifugal
compresSorS. They compress
the gas refrigerant, and
when 1t expands it takes
heat from water which will
circulate in the Agriculture
Buildings, both the South
Building and the Admins
tration Building. The water
will be chilled to about so
degrees. That should reduce
the temperature to a COM
Portable 72.
Each of these machines
will eliminate as much heat
as it would take to melt
1900 tons Of ice in "a hours.
"The other two machines
will be installed to heat Fed
eral office Building s. when
1t is constructed. That is
our designation for three
buildings to be constructed
east of Agriculture. They
are still unassigned as to
the Federal agency that will
occupy them. They were
scheduled to be constructed
during the next two years,
but Congress did not ap-
propriate for them due to a
hassle over lease purchase. "
Robert Lamb, a PBS engi-
neer, took the Rambler on
a guided tour of the con-
Struction. ID Men were still
tearing down the wall of the
heating plant. Bus Others
were erecting steel pillars in
the hole for the new building.
An oval-shaped tunnel
about nine feet high has been
drilled through to the South

parking facilities provided.
Mr.. Searles said the area
bounded by New York and
Massachusetts, avenue and
Third street, NV. should be
retained for semi-public or pub
lie use. This is just north of
the courthouse and Municipal
Center area. Some such build
ing as an auditorium, opera
house should go there, he sug-
gested. He said he hopes the
Bank of Commerce branch at
725 North Capitol street can be
retained.
Along Massachusetts, avenue,
between Ninth and Fourteenth
streets NV, it should be pos
sible to save some of these
structures in the heart of the
city and bring them back into
good use, Mr.. Searles told the
board.
He anticipates that the
Northwest Urban Renewal Plan
can be adopted this fall as a
scheduling of future projects,
but not as a land acquisition
program.
Member Sworn In
Attorney Richard r. Atkin-
son was again sworn in yeSter-
day as a member of the RIA
board. Mr.. Atkinson has been
a member of the board for II
years.
The board agreed to help in
any way possible the wholesale
food merchants in the South
west, near the Municipal Fish
Wharf, who are to be evicted
by redevelopment there. Chair
man John A. Remon said the
board is willing to negotiate
with them for the purchase of

tween Second and Sixth streets

Chalk Asks Approval
Of HeIicopter 'Toxi'

a bus terminal for which the
company currently is negotiat-
ing a site, the transit president
said.
One Of the legal restrictions
Mr.. Chalk is seeking to have
lifted has to do with inter-
locking directorates. The tran
sit company and its parent
Trans Caribbean Airways both
have Mr.. Chalk, his wife and
Irving M. Buckley. Trans Carib-
bean executive vice president,
as directors.
Action Held Unnecessary
Actually, the Chalk applica-
tion claimed that no CAB
ASTON is necessary. But it asked
for a specific exemption in the
event that the CAB disagrees
with this stand.
If the company clears away
the legal obstacles and wins
utilities commission approval,
the proposed service may get
under way before the end Of
this year, Mr.. Chalk said.
The application described
the service as auxiliary and
supplementary to the essential
service of ID. C. Transit"

Renewal Aid
Is Urged
ByChomber

The United States Chamber
81 Commerce today urged a
cutback in the kind Of Fed.
eral aid for urban renewal re.
quested yesterday by the Dis
trict.
Chamber officials appealed
to a Senate Banking subcom-
mittee to hold urban renewal
programs throughout the Ma
ton to 5000 million in grants.
with a future reduction in the
proportion of Federal help to
local renewal projects.
Robert Gerholz, spokesman
for the national chamber, made
no reference to the Washing
ton program. But his statement
was delivered on Capitol Hill
the day after the District Re-
development Land Agency
asked for a total of $30.5 mill
lion for slum clearance here.
Money would be in grants and
loans both for the Northwest
renewal area and the South
west section.
Eisenhower Praised
Noting a trend toward in
creased Federal spending for
municipal construction, the
chamber spokesman praised at
tempts Of President Eisenhower
to shift the burden Of respon.
sibility in this area from Fed.
eral to local officials.
He said the chamber believes
the general effect of increased
Federal renewal aid was to en-
courage citizens to believe that
no community leadership is
needed-that the Federal Gov
ernment will supply all the
streets, water and sewer facili-
ties, school and hospitals which
citizens want.
"Jamming" Seen
I'VE are jamming new urban
needs on obsolete urban pat
terms of organization" he said
He explained the chamber
feels a maturing local citizenry
mus' reapportion land use and
cure blight.
Previous testimony before the
subcommittee urged swelling
the Federal urban renewal pro-
gram to $6.3 billion in total
grants within 10 years from its
current $1.3 billion level.
But the chamber contenced
the increase must be stemmed.

Closing Of

Proposal Excludes
Bid to Use School
For Problem Boys
BY JOHN M. McKELWAY
star stan Writer

star Stan Writer
District school officials again
have recommended that Arm
strong High School be dis
continued after June 30.
In a report to a committee Of
the Board of Education, DR..
Carl F. Hansen, acting super
intendent, today made the
recommendation first proposed
by former Superintendent Of
Schools Hobart M. Corning last
January.
Once the technical high
school Of the colored division
of schools, Armstrong. follow
ing integration, lost its enroll
ment and was reduced TO a
boys school emphasizing shop
courses.
Students now attending
Armstrong would be drawn of
by other high schools in the
students areas, according to
today's recommendation.
Shop Courses Offered
Two high schools, Eastern
and Cardozo, are ready to offer
a "basic general shop" course
for these students. DR.. Hansen
said.
These shops" he said, "are
directed explicitly to the prep
aration of boys for employ
ment. The curriculum will
contain units on homN me-
chanics, simple carpentry and
upholstery, general metal work
and repairs to electrical ap-
pliances.
Shop offerings in other high
schools also will be expanded.
In his recommendation DR..
Hansen emphasized that the
proposal to close Armstrong
docs not include approval of
the proposal to use the build
ing as a center for the educa-
ton Of problem boys"
Developing Armstrong as a
special school for problem stu
dents, a proposal originally
offered by DR.. Hansen, has met
with criticism. 1t is contro-
versial because, according to
some observers, such a school
would be predominantly colored
DR.. Hansen said today he
would report on this phase OF
Armstrong; future at the
boards June meeting.
Facilities TO Dunbar
Today's eroposal does moi
mean the school will be boarded
up. Its shop facilities would bt
used by students at Dunbar
High School. Also, the build
ing would continue as the Gen.
ter for the Veterans High
School.
In another recommendation
presented to the board today
DR.. Hansen sustained the move
to require blue uniforms in the
High School Cadet Corps.
Color of uniforms has beer
optional this year-either the
blue or khaki. Under a boarc
ruling, a changeover to the blut
uniform is to be completed BY
September.
Parents and students have
argued the blue uniforms arr
too expensive. To date, out o.
IA schools with cadet units
only five are uniformed in blue
DR.. Hansen told the boarc
today:
"The board should be aware
that the requirement (for blue
uniforms) may result initially
in a decrease in enrolment
but it is hoped that such a de.
crease will be temporary, anc
that as more uniforms get intC
circulation and more schools SCI
up systems for lending and re.
sale (of the uniformsD The
problem will diminish"
