Third Army Corps Head
To Direct Maneuvers

The gigantic war game to be
participated in by the Regular Army
and the National guard over the
Civil War battlefield area of North
ern Virginia this summer will be
under the direction of Maj. Gen. j..
Parsons, commanding the Sd Army
Corps, with headquarters at Balti-
more, Md. In addition to the Reg
ular Army forces in this area, the
exercise will include the 28th Ma
tional Guard Division from Pennsyl-
vania, and the 2eth National Guard
Division, composed of the militia
of this city and Of Maryland and
Virginia, and a provisional division.
These units will occupy the sector
cornered by Manassas, Fort Belvoir,
Quantico and Staffords Store. How
ecer, the details as to the location
of the base camps when the ma
neuvers start has not been deter
mined, but once they are on the
move it will be difficult for their
families and friends to find them.
The forces are to be divided up
between red and blue forces, but
lust what units will be on each
and who will command them has
not been determined.
During the first week the troops
will operate from the camp orig
inally assigned them. the individual
units being given training in battle
practice and the other necessities
of field service in actual conflict.
This will serve to harden them for
the arduous duties to be placed on
their shoulders during the second
week, either attacking or defending
their positions. depending, Of course,
which side of the war they are
assigned to by Gen. Parsons. But
once on the move from their base
camps, they will keep going forward,
of course, unless they are repulsed,
and they will drop wherever night
overtakes them, sleeping in their
pup tents as they would in an
actual campaign, and likewise catch
ing their meals on the fly.
Much of the detail work now being
planned deals with the service OF
supplies and the transportation OF
the troops into and back from the
field. All of the motor equipment
assigned to the militia will be
brought into service, and it is ex-
pected that most of the movements
will be by motor truck rather than
by trains. The equipment OF the
Regular Army will be turned over
to the Guard for some transporta-
ton, and in the return Of the troops
instructions have been issued that
all of the Army equipment is to be
pooled. This is because OF recog-
milton OF the fact that as soon as
the war is over it will be necessary
to rush the militia to their home
stations for demobilization. The
Army will remain in the field until
the task of moving the militiamer
Is completed, it was said. .
The Regular Army, too, will
handle the purchase and supply o1
subsistence, delivering it to the
railhead, where the division forces
will do the asserting, the smaller
units picking it up there and dis
tributing it to the regiments ano
smaller units in their respective
areas, it was explained.

BEST Sports" On
Ashe Cage Teams
To Be Selected

Who are the "best sports" on
the nine boys and girls basket
ball teams in AShe county?
That is another interesting
question and The Skyland Post
is now making a survey to find
the answer?
It's difficult question, too, be-
cause practically all of the play
ers have displayed some mighty
fine craftsmanship during the
season that is now ending.
Evidence of improved sports
manship among the spectators
has also been observed in every
school gym in the county. More
and more students, players and
spectators are coming to realize
that winning a game is not the
most important thing, but that il
is, "How did you play the game?
The "best sport" on the girls
teams and the 'best sport
among the boys in Ashe county
will be announced in the near flu.

Blanks Mailed To Coaches
All-Star Teams May Play
Each Other In March.

With phenomenal records of
call victories and no defeats"
the Virginia-Carolina boys and
Healing Springs girls have won
the Ashe division of the Appa-
lachian High School Basketball
championship, but what about
the 'all-Star" players for this
county?
Who will be selected on the
first, second and third "all-star
or all-Ashe county basketball
teams for the 1938-'39 season.?
That is the big question that
will be answered in the near fu-
ture and is one of vital interest
to all players, students and bas-
ketball fans.
Through the cooperation of
all coaches, The Skyland Post is
going to find the answer. Blanks
were sent to the coaches this
week, with the request that they
make their selections and re-
turn their ''pickings" to sports
editor Of The Post by Monday,
March s. This will give them
another chance to see all play
ers in action at the tournament
in Boone on March IA.
On Tuesday, March 7, tabula-
tions will be made and the all
star players announced on March
9. All coaches are urged to sub
init their ''pickings" by the dead
line date.
The Post is making plans to
stage a game between the first
and second all-star girls and boys
teams, with members of the third
teams being substituted for both
outfits. Coaches of the schools
placing the largest number on
the first and second teams will
be asked to serve as coaches.
The games may be played
Tuesday night, March ID, and
will be a grand climax to another
successful basketball season in
this county.
The proceeds will be used to
pay for another trophy, since the
VIC boys have won permanent
possession of the one awarded
last year. Healing Springs girls
take possession of the girls CUP
for the next year. Basketball
charms for the first teams will
also be purchased and presented,
according to initial plans.

Park Chiefs Shift
Held Ending Dispute
OF Senator Mcclellan
1ennesseon Believed at
Peace Again With
Interior Department

Senator McKellar, Democrat, of
Tennessee and the Interior Depart
ment apparently are at peace again
following the transfer yesterday of
j. Ross Eakin, superintendent of the
Great Smoky Mountains National
Park.
Mr.. Eakin, whom Senator Nc
Kellar has been seeking to displace
because of a patronage dispute, was
ordered to exchange places immedi-
ately with Supt. j. R. Lassiter of the
Shenandoah National Park.
Although Assistant Secretary A.
K. BurleW said the change was
made because both men are better
suited to their new duties, depart
ment aides admitted is was move
to appease Senator McKellar. The
Tennesseean had charged that Mr..
Eakin was Republican and had
filled the park pay roll with Re-
publican non-residents in jobs he
wanted for Democrats.
Secretary Ickes ordered an in
vestigation and on February 9 said
a report vindicated Supt. Eakin.
He also said the park official would
not be removed.
In Knoxville last night Mr.. Eakin
expressed disappointment over his
removal and denied that politics en-
tered into his administration of park
affairs, the Associated Press re-
ported.
II don't know what to call myself
politically" he said. I'm neither a
Republican nor Democrat. I guess
would be classed as an independ-
ent.
Mr.. Eakin, West Virginian, said
he did not know the political faith
of men who joined his staff. He
added that he never inquired, Sc
lecting the men on a merit basis
from lists submitted to him through

Mr.. Reynolds said his wife came

clined to divulge the amount.

order further forbade removal of
the child from Virginia without
consent of the court.
Mr.. Reynolds said the Virginia
court order was still in effect, but
that special arrangements" would
be worked out between him and his
wife for custody of the child.
