Gates there are fewer cases this year

termine the extent of cases of seri-
Gus colds and influenza among some

A new schedule eliminating night
sessions Of police courts in Mont
gomery County, Md, was announced
yesterday following a conference of
the three trial magistrates on the
request of the Montgomery County
Bar Association to discontinue the

inconvenient to attorneys who had
cases in Circuit Court the follow
ing day but also kept policemen
away from their patroling duties

needed.

Court Officials Fear
6. 4. 0. Site Won't
Be Available Soon
Putting Of New Building
In Another Location
Fovored to Avert Delay

Probability that the General Ac-
counting Office Building on the
north side of Judiciary Square will
be occupied by another Federal
agency-after its present occupants
move out-and thus make the site
unavailable for construction of a
new District Court Building, was
seen by court officials here yesterday.
For this reason. they pointed out.
1t would be desirable to construct
the projected new combined District
Court and United States Court of
Appeals building, as the jurists have
proposed, east of the Supreme Court
Building. If this is not done, it is
contended, it will likely be many
years before the District Court can
get new home.
Plans of the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission to have
the proposed combination court
building constructed on the site of
the General Accounting Office
Building, which formerly housed the
Pension Office. cannot be realized
until the building is torn down.
And this cannot be done for long
time. it is said, because under the
national defense program the old
building will be utilized for other
purposes.
The some 1900 General Account
ing Office workers now housed in
the building near Judiciary Square
are to be transferred to new struc-
ture for which the Government is

will be given during the regular
morning and afternoon drill hours
and some lectures and classes are
to be held in the evening.
Col Burns added that there will
be an extensive program of ath-
,etics and other recreation for the
regiment.
While he points out that no one
ccn fofesee how long the present
emergency or any emergencies that
nay arise out of it will last, Gel.
Gurns said that it would not sur
rise him for the unit to remain
i the Federal service for five years
G. more.
Britain might win the war, but
it would take England and her
lilies probably five years or so to
overcome all axis resistance on the
continent" he explained. AND
that likely means that we would
have to maintain large fighting
force as safety precaution. Should
Britain fall, then We'll have to
virtually turn the United States
into an armed camp for at least
five years to be certain of our
national welfare Either way it
adds up to about the same time, in
service"
Examinations Start Monday.
In preparation for induction on
January 6, members of the 26Oth
are to report for physical exami-
nations in groups, beginning Mon
day. The officers are to receive
their check-ups first. These ply
sical tests are final" Col. Burns
declared.
All of the mobile and heavy
equipment of the regiment will be
transported by motor convoy to
Texas. with departure from Wash
ington set for about January 13.
The convoy, comprised of the 1st
Battalion, is now working out an
itinerary. Tentative plans call for
cross-country journey in slow
stages, covering not more than 1870
miles in a six-hour driving day.
Subject to change by the War De-
partment, the present plan calls for
trip almost directly southwark by
way of two Army camp areas, Fort
Bragg, N. c., and Fort Benning.

route, it was said, the unit will get

The 260th Coast Artillery, District
National Guard, expects to get most

Fort Bliss, Tex, base.
For special maneuvers, of course,
the anticipated schedule is off," ex-
planned Col Walter w. Burns, COM
manding officer of the local guard
regiment which now has a personnel
of about 900 men, But for day to
day routine, the men will put in eight
hours daily Monday through Friday,
with Saturday afternoons and Sun
days off"
While such schedule has been
maintained in peacetime in Army
camps for many years, National
Guard authorities here had under
stood until a short time ago that
their units might be put on a 60
hour training week in an effort to
prepare them in a short time for
any emergency.
A typical weekday schedule. Col
Burns said, will include reveille at
$50 m, breakfast at lis am, drill
or other training duty or instruction
from 7:30 to 11:30 am. and from l
- S pm. The two latter periods
make up the eight hours.
