WAR T0GREEN

New Deal' lodges of the Amer

Employees today were expected to
attack conservative" elements
within the organization on two
fronts.
One action will be a request
made personally to William F.
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, that his
group keep out of the internal
A. F. G. E. warfare during its
convention in Detroit on Septem-
ber IA.
Green has become a figure in
the struggle because of a rumor
that George Googe, A. F. of L.
representative in Atlanta, Ca, will
be named permanent chairman Of
the Detroit convention of the A.
F. G. E., which is affiliated with
the A. F. of L. In a personal in
terview either today or next Tues
day with representatives of one
or more of the New Deal" groups,
Green will be told of the loyalty
of the liberal" element to the
A. F. of L., and asked to ignore
factional disputes during the De

$500 STUDENTS
TO ENROLL IN
ARLINGTON.

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Va, Sept. 4.-Nearly $500 pupils
are expected to register at the
washington Lee Junior Senior
High School here September IA
and Is, it was announced by
school officials here today.
Pupile Of the seventh and
eighth grades will register the
first day, while those in the four
classes of the Senior High School
will register the second day.
After a careful study of aca-
demic requirements of accredit-
ing agencies, superintendent Of
Schools Fletcher Kemp and Prin-
cipal S. P. Vanderslice, Of the
school, announced the following
program:
To meet the requirement Of
accrediting agencies, the ninth,
tenth, eleventh and twelfth
grades will be in class from 8
a. m. until $3.50 p. M, thus run
ming a full schedule.
Two Glasses Changed
Temporary arrangements for
the seventh and eighth grades
will have these two classes on a
shift schedule, with one section
attending from 8 a. m. to noon
and the other section from 1915
to AIS p. m.
Pupils in the seventh and eighth
grades will be given a five-period
schedule of As minutes each, in
stead of the six-period schedule of
so minutes, thereby eliminating
temporarily the physical educa.
ton, clubs, assemblies and lunch
periods.
Reduction of the size of the
classes will be effected by the ad-
dition of six teachers.
Will Cut Time
This reduction in the number
of pupils in classes is expected to
offset the reduction of the time
of the classes, it is believed. Pupils
of the first two classes will be as,
signed to distinct sections of the
school building for class purposes.
The shift plan was decided upon
after consideration by school au,
thorities of placing the seventh
grade children back in the ele.
mentary school buildings. There
was not sufficient room in the al
ready crowded elementary schools
for these pupils, and school Off

R0ADBED'S USE
SPONSORED IN
PETITION

FAIRFAX COURTHOUSE, Va,
Sept. 4.-The campaign to turn
the Washington-Old Dominion
Railway roadbed into State high
way forged ahead today when
citizens of this area decided to
petition the Virginia State High.
way Commission to absorb the
right of way into the States Sec
ondary highway system.
The petition will be brought be-
for the Highway Commission by
the Great Falls-Old Dominion
Road Association. Composed Of
some 1900 residents of this Sec
ton, the association is pushing
the campaign under the legal guild
ance of Col. C. L. Garnett with
Col. H. w. T. Eglin, of the Army,
as technical advisor.
The roadbed is approximately
nine miles in length from the
Fairfax county line to Great
Falls. A section one and half
miles in length-from Silver Sta
ton to McLean-haS already been
taken over by the State for the
realignment of Route $50 from
Mclean to Chesterbrook.
Decision to petition the High
way Commission follows close on
a resolution passed Wednesday
night by the Fairfax County
Board of Supervisors asking that
Virginia take over the roadway.
According to Manning Gasch,
Of Vienna Post Office, chairman
of the association, individual citi-
zenS have already torn up many
of the ties and graded large
areas Of the abandoned railroad.
He stated that the right Of
way is from 40 to 100 feet in
width and presents an almost
perfect grade. The bridges,
Gasch explained, are wide enough
to accommodate two-way traffic.

MAN, 80, JAILED
AS ARSENAL

RIVERHEAD, N. Y, Sept. 4.
G.N.SO.-An 80-year-old eccentric,
with an interest in Communism,
started serving a 30.day sentence
in Suffolk county jail today as a
result of the discovery of an arse
nal and corset bomb" in his
home and the old mans assertion
that he hated all government"
The prisoner, Joseph Kuehnel,
who lived in a corrugated tin
shack near Patchogue, L. l., was
sentenced by Justice of the Peace
GuStave NeuSs on a charge of hav-
ing explosives in his possession.
Published reports that Kuehnel
had threatened to kill government
officials and himself by exploding
the corset bomb" while shaking
hands we're vigorously denied by
Lieut.. John A. Gaffney. of the
state police. Gaffney said:
"At no time did Kuehnel
mention any official either di-
rectly or by implication. We
have no evidence that he in
tended to kill anyone, nor that
he mailed any bombs"
When police raided the old
mans home they found the cor
set bomb" AZ sticks of dynamite,
a 20 and a .44-caliber rifle and
several pamphlets of Communist
and radical literature. The corset
bomb" consisted of an oil can
curved to fit the body and con-
tanned dynamite. 1t was equipped
with two hammers on strong
springs and was arranged to set
off two 20 caliber cartridges
which would explode percussion
caps.

every way toward the extension
of the merit system, requested
that the necessary steps be

course, be done at once"
In Washington, approximately
1000 workers will be affected, al
most all of them in emergency
appointments. In addition to a
thorough classification, the move
is expected to mean that any
necessary dismissals will be made
on a basis of efficiency rather
than patronage. At HOLC today
it was stated that nc
cuts in the near future are
planned, although there may be
a slight, gradual reduction in oul
