D. {. Officials Study
Health Center Plans

Request for an appropriation of
$4,000 for the purchase of site
for a health center in the North
west central area probably will be
included by the Commissioners in
= their 1941 budget proposals, Dis
trict officials said today.
The Commissioners, it was said,
have found it impossible to grant
the request of Health Officer George
c. Ruhland for funds for the con-
struction of the building in the next
year. The first of the proposed
series of polyclinics now is being
erected in Southwest Washington.
DR.. Rutland sought funds for the
new center at the last session of
Congress, but as substitute Con-
gress provided for the operation of
clinics at Providence and Emer-
gency Hospitals. DR.. Rutland S
program calls eventually for erec-
ton of five centers.

Park Police Continue to Patrol
Disputed Area in Virginia
Territory Beyond Highway Bridge
Has Been Center Of Long Controversy

United States park police con-
tinued to patrol U. S. Route No. l
IN the no mans land just beyond
the Virginia end of Highway Bridge
today, following a Police Court case
yesterday in which the long bound
ary controversy involving the area
once more was rehashed before a
Judicial bench-again without final
determination.
Meanwhile, taverns and restau-
rants along the roadway approx
innate to Columbia pike continued
to operate under Virginia regula-
tlons. illustrating the direct conflict.
Judge Walter J. Casey yesterday
in an assault case in the area held
the defendant for grand jury ac-
ton after being shown an 1864
map which placed the section with
in District jurisdiction. Park po-
lice made the arrest, taking into
custody Jerry Swisher, %, of the
900 block Of Ninth street NV, aft
er he allegedly participated in a
fight in Harry's Bluebird, tavern.
Attorney Louis F. Frick of the
Interior Department., counsel for
the park police, said the Federal
agency would continue to patrol the
region until ordered otherwise.
Took Over Jurisdiction.
He pointed out that several years
ago park police assumed jurisdic-
ton when other law enforcement
agencies declined to admit who was
responsible for the protection. Since
there was no policing of the re-
gion, he said, park police felt justi-
fed in moving in to maintain peace
and order
Justification of the Federal ac-
ton was traced back to 1882 when
the land was granted to Lord CAL
vert as part of Maryland. In 1870,
Mr.. Frick said, the State gave
l0-mile square for the creation of
the District. This area included
the Potomac River up to the high
water mark and all islands therein.
Alexander Island was one of these,
he said. The island later was at
tached to the Virginia shore by
fills, he pointed out. However, Vir-
ginia disputed the location of the
high water mark
Protection Has Been Problem.
Police protection for taverns and
restaurants near Washington Air
port has been a problem that has
caused the boundary squabble to
flare up repeatedly.
Arlington County (Va.) authori-
ties persistently have declined to
accept responsibility for the area
and have not responded to calls
from points on Route l in the dis
puted sector on advice of the Com
monwealth's attorney in the county.
On one occasion, however, Harry
Riganis, proprietor of the Bluebird,
was hailed into Arlington's Police
Court and charged with violating
regulations of the Virginia Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board in regard
to hours of beer sale. The court
accepted jurisdiction, found Mr..
Riganis guilty and suspended SEN
tence on condition he comply with
the A. B. c. Board rules.
Throughout the controversy the
State of Virginia has been exer-
cising authority over the territory

D. {. Civil Service Law
Suggested by King

A separate civil service law tt
govern appointments to the District
government would be more beneficia.
than enactment of a local politica,
activity ban like the Hatch Act TO,
Federal workers, in the opinion
of Chairman King of the Senate
District Committee.
The Senator expressed this view
in discussing the possibility that the
Hatch Act may be held not ap-
plicable to the local municipal gov
eminent.
Although the District government
has operated through the Civil Serv-
ice Commission in regard to nearly
all local agencies by agreement since
the Hoover administration, Senator
King believes there is need for a
specific local civil service law tc
give District residents a preference
in municipal appointments and tc
prevent the bringing in of non
residents for such jobs.
The Attorney Generals office has
not yet passed formally on the ques-
ton of whether the Hatch law az
fects the District government.

Court Of Honor
160 Boys Advance
At Roosevelt High
Quarterly Event

Adventures with wild bears in the
national parks of the West were re-
lated by John Chandler, scoutmaster
OF Troop ga, last night, to a large
group of Boy Scouts and their friends
at Roosevelt High School, where 16O
awards were made for advancement
at the quarterly Court of Honor.
Black bears wandered freely
through the camp sites of a group
Of seven Washington Boy Scouts on
a 16,000-mile motor trip through
the country, Mr.. Chandler said, and
two big grizzly bears once chased two
boys from lean-to they were build
ing. But the group returned to
Washington after 76 days in good
health and without an accident.
Canadian Scouts, he said, were
eager to, trade their trophies for
sharks teeth because King George
last summer had been given a
sharks tooth by Washington Boy
Scout here.
John S. Cole, vice chairman of
the National Capital Area Council
Boy Scouts Advancement Commit
tee, presided at the ceremonies.
Among those honored were two
brothers, John F. Raft, jr., and
Robert c. Raft, who became Eagle
Scouts, sons of John F. Raft, sr.,
who is scoutmaster of their Troop
No. 3, and two fathers and their
sons, William r. Mcdonald and son
William M. Mcdonald, both of
whom were advanced to Eagle, and
Victor L. Kebler. ST., and Victor L.

FORT MEADE, Nd, Oct. Ga
powerful tank counterattack OF
BLACKS" Offset early Blue" gains in
a sweeping cavalry flank movement
here today, ending the final phase OF
four-day Regular Army war games
IN a virtual deadlock.
The Washington Provisional Divi-
sion Blues" for the second success
sive day. took advantage of darkness
and morning fog. this time sending
its Sd Cavalry Squadron on 7-mile-
wide maneuver around the Blacks
right flank to execute a surprise at
tack on the command post of its
foes tank battalion.
The cavalrymen were driven Oh
only after they had crippled three
tanks and captured several members
of the tank units headquarters
staff.
Undaunted, the BLACKS" rallied
and hurled more than 80 tanks at
advancing Blue" infantry. The at
tack of the Blues" was broken up
definitely, umpires ruled, as hostili-
ties were stopped at midmorning.
Efforts Of BLACK" observation
planes to check on their opponent S
cavalry movements by the use OF
dropped flares last night were un-
successful, and fog prevented the
use Of planes this morning.
For assistance in the offensive the
1000 Blues" were bolstered by addi-
ton OF a make-believe battalion OF
infantry, thus enabling them to out
number their more modernly
equipped foes.
Horse-drawn artillery and cavalry
constituted the main support of the
Blues" infantry, while foot soldiers
OF their opponents relied primarily
on truck-drawn artillery and q
tank battalion for supplementary
strength.
Fighting began at dawn, after
both forces maneuvered during the
night for advantageous position fol-
lowing initial clashes between ad-
vance units late yesterday. The bat
tie line at the outset was along Mid
way Branch, in the northern sector
OF the military reservation.
AS in yesterdays combat, when
Blues" successfully defended them
selves against westward assault of
the Blacks" Brig. Gen. c. A. Trott
chief umpire for the training ma
nuevers. stressed that the operation
was undertaken solely for the pur-
pose OF training in tactics, team play
communications and staff work, and
not that one side may win over the
other"
The defending blues" unoues-
tionably held the upper hand at the
conclusion of yesterdays conflict
after repelling the charge of II
tanks up . fog-covered hillside.
/ The first two days of the four-day
field training period, ending today
were devoted to unmolested warm
up" execution of combat formations
by the two forces.
