Search for Solution
Of D. C. Housing Need
Will Be Continued
Both Public and Private
Interests in Accord
On Further Exploration
An agreement to search further
for a satisfactory formula for slum
clearance and rehousing of slum
dwellers was reached late yesterday
at the end of a two-hour debate
between public and private housing
advocates as to which should take
charge of the rent-subsidized por
tion of the work.
It was apparent no solution of the
Issue between the National Capital
Housing Authority and the Wash
ington Home Builders’ Association
spokesmen was found at a joint
session held yesterday.
Statements Issued.
Afterward. John Ihlder, executive
officer of the NCHA, and James C.
Wilkes, counsel for the Home Build
ers, issued statements saying that
the issues had been discussed at
length and that it had been agreed
the NCHA would draft and submit
a formula “to achieve slum recla
mation and rehousing of the slum
population” which would be sub
mitted for further discussion at an
other meeting next Tuesday after
noon.
Attending the session, held in the
offices of Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant, 3d.
chairman of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission,
were David Lynn, architect of the
Capitol, and* John Nolen, director
of planning of the planning body,
who are members of the NCHA;
A. E. Demaray of the planning
commission, Mr. ihlder and William
R. Simpson of the NCHA; Myron
Davy, Wesley Buchanan and Mr.
Wilkes, representing the private
builders, and Ernest F. Henry of
the District Rent Administration,
who attended as a member of the
Committee on Housing and Rents of
the Federation of Citizens' Associ
ations.
Gen. Grant Heads Negotations.
At the suggestion of Chairman
Burton of the Senate District Sub
committee, which is considering
legislation as to the future slum
clearance and rehousing programs
here, Gen. Grant has been negotiat
ing between the opposing factions
in the hope of winning united sup
port for a broad project planning
land agency bill which has the in
dorsement of the District Commis
sioners and the Park and Planning
Commission.
This proposed measure, which
would permit both the NCHA and
private builders to participate in
the program, has come up against
a clash between the two groups.
There has been insistence on the
part of Mr. Ihlder that the low
rental portion of rehousing be re
served to the NCHA unless private
builders can do the work cheaper
while operating under rent ceilings
and limits on profits and without
rental subsidies to tenants.
And there has been a demand
by the home builders that "public
housing” be excluded from future
rehousing work, on the argument
that private operators’ costs for
both construction and management
are cheaper and that tenant rental
aid would be justified by submission
to rent ceilings on low cost housing.

Washington Ace Ties Record,
Downing 5 Nazi Planes in Day
Lt. Rankin Refuses to
Claim Credit for 3
Pilots Who Bailed Out
Lt. Robert Rankin. 25-year-old
Washington fighter pilot, yesterday
tied the record for a single day's
kill in the European theater by
shooting down five Nazi planes over
Germany, the Associated Press re
| ported.
The youthful Thunderbolt pilot,
; whose wufe says he "doesn't go in
for the glory stuff," modestly de
clined to claim three other enemy
planes, which would have given him
the record by a big margin, because
the Nazi pilots bailed out without
a fight.
Lt. Rankin's camera proved kills
of five ME-109S in a 45-minute me
lee north of Frankfort. This feat
tied the joint record of Lt. Carl J.
Luksic, Joliet, 111., who bagged five
Nazi planes May 8, and Capt. Rob
ert E. Woody, Roanoke, Va., who
downed five April 24.
Makes His Total Nine.
The five brought Lt. Rankin’s
total to nine, all in the air.
The other three quit before he'd
fired a shot from his waning stock
of ammunition and after his camera
quit functioning, but his mates
pointed out that if other pilots
claimed kills as a result of such ac
tion and maneuvering, Lt. Rankin
could lodge a just claim to the trio
and a world’s record of eight kills [
for a single day.

A Maryland farmer was killed

near Sunshine, Md„ Montgomery
County police reported today.
Edwin W. Burriss, 39, of Cooksville,
a passenger in a car driven by his
brother-in-law. Pvt. Charles M.
Gibson, 38, was killed instantly, po
lice said, and Pvt. Gibson was ad

Hospital at Sandy Spring for minor
cuts and bruises. Pvt. Gibson is
stationed at Orlando, Fla.
Montgomery County Officer Ralph
Howard said a hearing would be
held at Rockville.
Maurice Miller, 6, colored, 245 W

tomobile yesterday as he played in
the street near his home, police
reported. He was admitted to
Freedmen’s^ospital with head and
knee injuries and is being held for
observation. Police listed Fred L.
Lazzoni, 37, 2426 Fourteenth street
N.W., as the driver.
Dorothy Dunston, 15, colored,
2002 Ninth street N.W., was treated
for a broken tooth and slight lacer
ations at Freedmen’s Hospital yes
terday after a taxicab knocked her
from her bicycle near Fifteenth and

Service Library to Open
A library to remain open 24 hours
a day for men and women in the
service and their families, a project
of the District Chapter of the Spe
cial Libraries Association, will be
formally opened today at the United
Nations Service Center, 500 North
Capitol street.
Lt. Rankin might have had a
sixth combat kill had his ammuni
tion lasted. He fired nearly 1,600
rounds in the blazing day in which
his group—the famed Zemke outfit
—shot down 20 out of the 100 to
200 interceptors they encountered.
He had just emerged from a dog
fight which netted his second kill
when he spotted a Nazi trio “sitting
up there alone.” He maneuvered
into position, but “I hadn’t fired a
shot when they jumped out right
in front of me—so close I had to
dodge one parachute.
Lt. Rankin and his mates said
the Nazis attacked in fierce waves,
often with more than a 2-to-l ad
vantage.
Got Two Previously.
Lt. Rankin, whose parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Charles Rankin, live at
1502 S street S.E., distinguished
himself less than two months ago
w'hen he was credited with shooting
down two German planes in a day
over Germany.

Louise Rankin, a Justice Depart

was full of it. Since then, sip said,
he has only mentioned his successes,
telling her that “a lot of other boys
are doing the same thing.”
Lt. Rankin's plane is called the
I Wicker Wacker Weegie. Mrs. Rankin
said her husband told her he would
name the plane after her, which ac
counts for the "Weegie”—her nick
name. The rest of the name is a
mystery to her.
■ Since his arrival in England last
August, she said, he has gone on 54
missions, totaling more than 200
combat hours, but neither he nor his
plane has ever had a scratch.
Former Grid Player.
Like others who have scored
heavily at the fighting fronts, Lt.
Rankin is a former football player.
He was on the team at Eastern High
School, from which he graduated
in 1939.
On the other hand, Lt. Rankin was
brought up to be a concert ’cellist.
He was studying at a conservatory
when he went into the service.
The war has changed his musical
direction somewhat, however. His
wife says when he's relaxing be
tween flights he hunts up a band
I and plays "hot licks” in the saxo
phone—just for the fun of it.
Lt Rankin received his wings at
Luke Field, Ariz., in April, 1943, and
the following month the Rankins
were married. They had two months
together before the pilot was shipped
overseas, but Lt. Rankin tries to
make up for that with a daily letter
to his wife.
She’s hoping to get the letter tell
ing about his five victories as an an
niversary present—May 24.

Tobacco Warehouses
To,Stay Closed Until
OPA Acts on Prices
Meeting of Sellers Listed
After Federal Agency
Decides on Ceilings
Southen^Mary5and?,,eigE^T>
bacco warehouses will remain closed
pending a decision by the Office of
Price Administration on requests by
sellers that the 52-cent-a-pound
average ceiling price be lifted.
Prank Hall, president of the
Marlboro Tobacco Market, said the
decision was made last night at a
meeting of warehousemen and
Southern Maryland growers. He
said arrangements were made to
call a meeting of sellers imme
diately after OPA acts on the ceil
ing prices.
Meanwhile, Edwin P. Hoagland*
chief of the OPA’s tobacco section,
said heads of the section would
confer this morning on the Mary
land tobacco situation. He indi
cated that the OPA itiight reach
some conclusion today.
While the OPA heid no promise
that the ceiling prices would be
removed, it was indicated that the
agency might consider setting a
maximum price instead of the sea
son average ceiling in order to widen
the price spread for the top grades
of tobacco. The top grades are
the only ones purchased by the
large cigarette manufacturing com
panies.
The 52-cent average ceiling price
was established by the OPA Monday
the day before the opening of the
markets. Growers complained that
the crop is about 10,000,000 pounds
under last year’s and that under
ceiling price regulations farmers
cannot meet the costs of production.
Representative Sasscer and Sen
ator Tydings, Democrats, of Mary
land, said yesterday they were con
tinuing efforts to have the OPA
abolish, or increase the ceiling
prices.

Droop Firm Name to Disappear
After 86 Years in Musical Trade
The name of Droop, which has!
been prominent in musical circles
in Washington for 86 years, will dis
appear from the corner of Thir
teenth and G streets N.W. May 31,
when the E. F. Droop Sc Sons Co.
“retires” from business.
The firm, which has been known
to handle “everything musical,” will
withdraw entirely, it was learned
today. It has leased the building,
but not turned over its name, to
Ballard’s, another well-known firm
which will operate “Ballard Hall” at
the same location, beginning June 1.
The building will be closed for the
change. It will be open as Droops
all day Wednesday, May 31, and
reopen as "Ballard Hall” Thursday
morning.
The name of Droop was brought
to Washington by the late E. F.
Droop, who became affiliated with
W. G. Metzerott Sc Co., at the cor
ner of Eleventh street and Pennsyl
vania avenue N.W. in 1857. He be
came a partner in the firm in 1864,
and on the death of Mr. Metzerott
in 1884 he became sole owner, oper
ating under his own name. He
later moved the store to 925 Penn
sylvania avenue N.W. The firm
changed its name to E. F. Droop
Sc Sons in 1895 when his two sons,
Edward H. and Carl A. Droop, be
came partners. The firm was in
corporated in 1904 as E. F. Droop
Sc Sons Co.
The founder died in February,
1908. The business was moved in
1909 to its present location at 1300 G
street N.W., where it has operated
ever since as one of the leading
music stores in this part of the
East. The death of Carl Droop in
July. 1940, was followed in March
of this year by the death of the
survivor of the firm, Edward H.
Droop. In conformity with their
expressed desires, the firm is pass
ing out of business, and the name
of Droop will disappear from the
store.
Ballard's already is operating the
record department of the Droop
store, in addition to the Ballard
business in the same block at 1340

Reports of Whisky
Flood for D. C. Are
Discounted by ABC
The Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board last night discounted in part
reports of an estimated 150,000 cases
of whisky being shipped into the
District in the next few months.
Discussing announcement of an
offer of the American Distilling Co.,
InC., to release its supplies to re
tail dealers who are stockholders,
the ABC Board said so far only
three import permits have been
issued for 240 cases from the com
pany. The board has before it,
however, an application for a whole
sale license from a group which
says it has a “substantial amount”
of the stocks.
In decisions yesterday, the board
decided that retailers may not sell
“certificates, of right,” issued to com
pany stockholders, to wholesale;
that wholesalers may not buy from
them, but that it is legal for a re
tailer to sell certificates to a dis
tiller outside the District, if the lat
ter is not a board licensee.
The board said it had no objection
to an “outright and absolute” sale
by a retailer to a distiller of a
“right to buy” whisky. The board
added that it had ho means of
knowing how -many warehouse re
ceipts or certificates may be owned
by local retailers, it wae recalled
that import permits are issued to
retailers only for brands not already
handled by wholesalers.

Auto Pools of 2 and 3
Ultimate OPA Goal
In Car-Sharing Drive
Would Assure Riders
Of Tronsportation
In Emergency Cases
Two and three car pools rather
than individual car clubs will be the
ultimate goal in the local OPA com
pulsory car-sharing campaign. Andy
S. Hines, District OPA mileage ra
tioning officer, announced today,
although emphasis on that phase ot
the program has not yet been
reached.
In the car pools, Mr. Hines ex
plained* two or three, and even four
drivers would, pool their cars, each
using his vehicle part of the time
to carry one group to work.
The advantage of such a system,
he pointed out, would be in assuring
riders of transportation to work in
the event one of the drivers was
ill. Through such a plan the sup
plemental ration allotted for the
three-month period would be dis
tributed to the cars in the pool and
could be used at any time during
that ration period.
Greater Car Saving.
This also would provide, Mr.
Hines continued, a greater saving
in cars. "We are not trying to
take people off existing public trans
portation,” he emphasized, “but
merely are endeavoring to make use
of existing pools. Already there are
many such pools operating in the
District with great success.”
Meanwhile, It was announce# that
registration at transportation com
mittees and centers had more than
doubled since the last report, with
a little over 500 applications to date,
as compared to 250 reported Thurs
day for the first three days of the
drive. While the registration was
reported to have picked up at most
centers, officials said the result*
still were not satisfactory.
Of the 500 applications which
have been filed at District OPA
headquarters, 425 have been made
by persons seeking rides to work.
It was the general belief at reg
istration centers that car owners
still were unaware of the conse
quence if they do not register with
the car-sharing program by May 22
or show sufficient proof that it
would be impracticable to do so,
10 Days Remain.
With only 10 days remaining in
the registration drive, holders of B
and C supplemental gasoline rations
were reminded again that after that
date, if they have failed to comply
with the compulsory program, only
30-day short rations will be granted.
At the end of that period, if car
owners still have failed to join tha
program, their supplemental ration
allowances may not be renewed.
This iffilds true even in the case
