The New York district attorney declared at a political rally last night that Washington was a “boom town” where “the administration has spent millions of dollars” to provide its employes with “monumental of- fices.” Typical of the retorts today was that of Lawrence E. Williams, presi- dent of the Board of Trade. He stated: “Pay rolls here have re- mained relatively level, which hard- ly. indicates a boom. Washington and vicinity have increased in pop- ulation, of course, but that likewise does not mean a boom. The city, fortunately, has no need of booms.” “Mr, Dewey has been poorly ad- vised of the number of Government employes working in Washington,” he added. The Associated Press quoted Mr. Dewey as saying: “The number of Government employes has been in- creased frem 570,000 to 940,000 dur- ing the last seven years. * * * The| administration has spent millions of dollars to provide these employes | with monumental offices.” An official of the Civil Service Commission pointed out that, while the figures quoted by the New York attorney were substantially correct, he had overlooked the fact that seven times as many Government workers are employed in offices other Taft and McNutt On Same Program By the Associated Press.

Morgan, jr., prominent civic leader: “Washe ington has never been a boom town. How can it be when our Govern- ment buildings are, and will, remain permanent?” STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 1940. Stomach Cancers: Found Aggravated by Drugs Disclosing a large percentage of stomach cancers are found in per- sons who have “badly kept mouths,” Dr. Eugene R. Whitmore, chairman of the Cancer Control Committee of the District Medical Society, warned that “the habit of bolting food and taking antacid tablets or so-called ‘alkalizers’ is dangerous.” “We need normal acidity of the stomach for digesting food,” he told nurses at Gallinger Hospital Tues- day in an address during the Cancer Control Campaign, now under way here. “In persons of the cancer age— that is, between 40 and 60 years— acidity of the stomach is apt to be low,” he said. “Taking antacid or ‘alkalizing’ drugs simply mak::s mat- ters worse. The key then to the pre- vention of cancer of the stomach is to give proper care to the mouth and 'teeth, to avold haste in eating and to take antacid or ‘alkalizing’ drugs only upon the advice of a phy= sician.
