ALEXANDRIA, Va, Feb. 19.-In
the shadow of the great Masonic
memorial to one Of its early COM
manders, George Washington, the
Alexandria Light Infantry today
boarded a troop train for Fort
Meade, Md.
Many of the mems hands were
redeemed in a biting wind-since
gloves had not been issued to all
before departure-but every face
grinned as the men set off for in
tensive training in the Federal serv-
ice. For time they will drill in the
Maryland camp and then will be
assigned to some now unknown
destination and unknown task.
The crowd which saw them of
ranged from 3-year-old Anne Klaus,
who screamed good-by to her uncle,
Pvt. Albert Schlag, to white bearded
j. H. Trimyer, who first came down
to the railroad station to see this
unit march off to war when this
Nation was battling with Spain. A
number of boys and girls who came
to shout good-by accused one an
other of playing hockey" from
school.
A total of Ct men and 2 officers,
1t. Milton Glasgow, formerly a JUS
tice of the peace, and 1t. Paul w.
Allen, in civilian life an estimator
boarded the troop train at Union
Station here. 1t already carried cars
loaded with troops from Richmond,
Petersburg, Norfolk, Newport News
and other Virginia points. On the
side of one car was scrawled in
chalk. Go. I, 176th Infantry

Officers talked proudly of the ira
dition they were upholding, recall
ing that George Washington, their
honorary captain, led the company
through the battles Of the French
and Indian War and later was their
leader in the Revolution. During
the Civil War they were on the side
of the Confederacy, and fought va
liantly for the National Government
in two succeeding wars. 1t. Glas-
gov. acting commander, is himself a
World War veteran.
Baggage cars were attached to the
train to handle military equipment
Engineers waved and shouted greet

Gov, 0'Conor Sends
Job Appointments
To Legislature
Hearing on Controversial
Jones Bill Is Scheduled
For 7 Tomorrow
By the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 19. - Gov.
| O'Conor's job-packed "green bag
went to the Senate for confirmation
today as the Legislature girded itself
! for continuation of two bitter bat
ties left over from the session OF
two years ago.
Foremost in the Senate was the
l941 version of 1895 controversial
Jones bill"-aimed at that time at
ousting State Employment Com
missioner Harry C. Jones. Next
among last sessions leftoverS was
conservation legislation, now being
drafted.
This Legislatures Jones bill is a
product of the Legislative Council
and provides for establishment of a
three-man employment commission
for which Mr.. Jones would become
a salaried subordinate until his pres
ent term expires in 1943.
Governor Holds Key.
Several committee members indi-
Gated today they were disposed to
kill the bill in committee unless Gov.
O'Conor takes definite stand on 1t.
Gov. O'Conor yesterday ordered
the State Law Department to draft
a conservation bill along the. exact
lines recommended by a special
gubernatorial commission.
Some observers here expressed be-
lief the new conservation bill would
have little trouble this session, with
most opposition directed at the plan
to separate the present State for
estry department from the Uni
versity of Maryland.
Judges Pension Opposed.
Yesterday the Senate Finance Com
mittee voted informally for an un-
favorable report on legislation which
would increase judges pensions to
maximum of $1,000. based on
| length of service.
The action followed disclosure
that former Judge Robert F. STAN
ton, who left the bench to accept a
! S10000-a-year post as Baltimore
police commissioner has been re-
| ceiving a $2,400 a. year retired
judges pension since December,
| 1899.
Shaping up as another spirited
floor fight was legislation to ban
the sale of alcoholic beverages in
Maryland on Sunday. 1t has not yet
been reported out by the Senate
Temperance Committee, but Gov.
O'Conor and Assemblymen have
been deluged with kilograms prais-
ing or condemning the bill.
Appointments Rejected.
Meanwhile, the Senate yesterday
rejected two more of the Governor S
recess appointments at the request
of Senator Louis N. Phipps, Demo-
crat, of Anne Arundel. They were
Wilbur R. Dulin, county liquor Ii
cense board chairman, and Thomas
w. Humphrey, jr., Riviera Beach
jobholder. Last Friday Senator
j. w. johnson, Democrat, of CAL
vert, knocked off" three of Gov
| O'Conor's Calvert County recess ap-
pointeeS.
Senator Dudley G. Roe, chairman
of the Senate Finance Committee,
disclosed last night that the State
Department of Education had re-
jected request by Gov. O'Conor to
make a $200,000-a-year reduction in
its budget to help absorb the cost

Virginia Report
Cites Requirements
OF Nearby Areas

An additional 81 ,383,47O is needed
to provide facilities for an estimated
increase of 2,513 elementary school
and 1887 high school children
brought into the nearby Virginia
area by families engaged in national
defense projects, a State survey re-
vealed today.
Dr. Sidney B. Hall State superin-
tendent of public instruction. said
in Richmond an additional outlay
OF $4,639 ,906 for public school facili-
ties throughout Virginia seems indi-
Gated, the Associated Press reported.
The problem is complicated by the
lmpOSsibility of estimating how long
the families will be engaged in work
in three major Virginia defense
areas, one Of which is made up of
Arlington and Fairfax Counties and
the city of Alexandria.
Of the anticipated increase need
ed for educating children of defense
workers in that area, Mr. Hall said
S34 900 is required for sites, 500, ,450
for equipment, S1,005,100 for build
ings, S46,OOO for operation and main
tenance. S70520 for transportation
and sl34 400 for salaries.
500 More Seen in Alexandria.
School Supt. T. c. Williams said
he estimated an increase of about
600 children in Alexandria by the
opening of the term in September,
Included among causes for the in
crease is a 300-unit housing pro-
ject for the naval torpedo plant in
Alexandria; an anticipated influx Of
families to Alexandria who are en-
ployed at Fort Belvoir and Quantico
Marine Barracks and children Of
families living in Alexandria who
are employed at the new Navy
building to be erected in Arlington
/ County.
Arlington County likewise has the
problem created by the new Navy
building and in addition that OF
schooling children of families Iv-
ing there who are being added to
many Federal departments in
Washington.
Fairfax County would note in
creaSes for similar reasons, although
officials declared the problem at Fort
Belvoir and Quantico is complicated
by the influx Of a great many tenn
porary workers engaged in construc-
ton work
Norfolk Area More Permanent.
1T appears that the areas most
seriously affected by way of per-
manent employment, at least over a
period Of 25 to 80 years. are Norfolk
City, Newport News and Warwick
County" the State report declared.
The Northern Virginia area is, Of
course. seriously involved. but the
most serious problem there is the
determination of policy of Federal
aid for children residing on Federal
reservations involving the marine
camp at Quantico and Fort Belvoir.
Additional data are being gathered
on these conditions, DR.. Hall said.
