HYDE PARK, N. Y, Oct. IL
President Roosevelt disclosed today
that he had asked Paul V. McNutt,
Federal security administrator. to
see whether water and sewage
facilities in Philadelphia were a
menace and, If so, to recommend
remedial steps in which the Federal
Government might cooperate.
AS for his own views, Mr.. Roose-
welt told a press conference that
the situation in Philadelphia was
f1guratively and literally a stencil
in the noStrils. He let it be known
that he regarded some action as
necessary because Philadelphia is a
hub of important defense activities
and because protection of the health
of its citizens Is essential.
The President quoted from letter
he sent Mr.. McNutt yesterday to the
effect that more than 81 ,000, 900 900
in defense contracts had been placed
in Philadelphia and that the Federal
Government was the largest single
employer.

Hungarian and Slovak troops are

Spectacular attempts of Russian
cavalry to check the advance of
German tanks and armored cars
across the Eastern Ukraine were
reported in dispatches from the
southern front. The Germans
termed it warfare of a century ago
pitted against modern mechanical
ton.
In one instance, the German re-
ports said, four to five squadrons of
Soviet cavalry, supported by artil-
lery and some planes, charged head
long against German tanks.
The dispatches said the ranks of
the cavalry were decimated and that
300 prisoners, 500 horses and 81
pieces of artillery were captured.

Other operations on the front, in
cluding the battle before Moscow,

THE solution to this problem can
be found only in giving a greater
relative Importance to the matter
of visitor access to the national me-

"Expediency and cost should be
subordinated to the broader con-
ceptions OF the appearance Of our
Capital City and the legitimate
needs of its citizens"
Discussing the War Department
Building, he said he could not be-

Thomas S. Settle, commission Sec

Mr.. Ickes was asked by the COM
mission to express an opinion on
plans for extension of Independence
avenue and widening of Twenty
third street, prepared by the Public
Roads Administration for the pur-
pose of increasing the capacity of
Memorial Bridge. One aspect of
these plans involved tunneling
beneath the Lincoln Memorial. and
Mr.. Settle indicated Mr.. Ickes was
not in favor of this.
He said the Secretary looked with
more favor on counter suggestion
advanced by Capt. H. C. Whitehurst,
District director of highways, to
make Twenty third street underpass
Virginia avenue.

that they felt at least three major
Improvements were necessary on the
Virginia side. These Improvements,
all mapped in road study made by
the Public Roads Administration,
are:
l. Widening and relocation of Co.
lumbia pike to provide an extension
of Lee boulevard around the south
ern side of Fort Myer. From a
point near Arlington Ridge road the
improved pike would curve between
the new Army building and Arling-
ton Cantonment and join Columbia
Island traffic plaza.
Truck Road Considered.
2. Providing a fork from the new
Columbia pike from point near
Arlington Ridge road and EXTEND
ing to Highway Bridge, passing to
the south of the War Department
Building.
3. Construction of heavy duty
truck road" from the Virginia end of
Key Bridge, across Arlington Can
tonment paralleling the Pennsylva-
mia Railroad spur, passing close to
the new building and joining U. S.
Route l several miles to the south
of Columbia pike.
Plans for intricate grade separa-
tions and "cloverleaf" intersections
have raised the estimated cost of
the Virginia improvements to ap-
proximately $8,0OO,oO0 Mr.. Settle,
commission secretary, said the Army
agreed with the planners that the
road changes were vital to the new
War Department Building.
Consideration also was to be given
today to two suggestions brought
forward by Arlington County high
way authorities, involving construc-
ton of new Potomac River bridges.
One proposal was to bridge the

Navy Buys It's First
GIiders for Tests in
Carrying Troops
contracts Are Placed
For MotorIess Craft
Of Three Sizes

Climaxing years of discussion of
motorless fight, the Navy Depart
ment today announced purchase OF
its first IA gliders. The contracts
placed include orders for two "a
place gliders and two 12-place ships
for experimental work in troop
transport The other 10 are con-
yentional two-place sailing craft.
The Navy conducted experiments
with gliders several years ago in
Florida and later abandoned the ex-
perimental flights. Today's an
nouncement said the Navy does not
intend to set up any program OF
glider pilot training, but will use its
regular Navy pilots to fly the motor
less ships. Gliders came into
prominence in the European war
during the last year when they were
used by the Germans, notably in
the invasion of Crete.
Plastics to Be Used.
The 24-place gliders will be built
by Snead & Co, Orange. Va, and
the 12-place ships by the Allied
Aviation Corp, Baltimore. The
order for the 10 two-place training
gliders went to the SchweitZer Avla-
ton Corp. Elmira, N. Y.
The transports are to be con-
structed of a newly developed, wood
tmpregnsted plastic, which is said
to resist moisture and fungus
growth. 1t also is easily repaired
and breaks may be "cold-patched"
on the field or hot-patched in the
shop. The 24-place glider will have
q wing span of approximately 110
feet and a gross weight of $1,000
pounds. The wing span of the IL
place ship will be about 88 feet, and
1t will have a gross weight Of ap-
proximately $500 pounds. Both are
to be Of amphibian design and can
be towed by practically any combat
aircraft in the Navy The Navy
pointed out that most Of the tests
will be conducted by Marine Corps
personnel.
n. Y. A. Tests Proposed.
A special committee in Congress
has been investigating the use of
gLders and has been considering a
bill to provide glider program for
operation by the N. Y A Naval
and Army officials have appeared
before the committee to testify re-
garding the bill and are said to have
appeared only luke-warm toward
the project.
Proponents Of the glider program
have declared that both the Army
and the Navy are behind the
times" in their appreciation of the
military value of gliders.

on the japanese and Russian sit
uations. He offered no disclosures
about what decisions were made at
the war council" meeting at the
White House yesterday.
The President told the press that
the o. P. M. probably would have
something to announce soon on the
defense strike situation. He said
he did not know at what time, but
he emphasized soon.
New o. P. NJ. Role Seen.
The Presidents reference to
strikes was the first indication since
the o. P. NJ. was organized that 1t
would be called in to deal with
this difficult problem.
The news today from all over the
Nation told of many strikes ending,
including tentative agreement for
the settlement of the strike at the
Midland Steel Products Co. in
Cleveland. However, the aviation
accessories plant of Air Associates,
Inc, in Bendix, N. j., continues.
Speculation Immediately arose
from the Presidents comment over
whether Sidney Hillman. the labor
representative and co-director of
O. P. NJ, would be assigned a new
role as a Moses charged with lead
ing the prolabor administration
out of the strike woods.
The o. P. M. has no express au-
thority to deal with strikes, but the
administration can take over struck
plants. The administration has
relied UP to now on its National De-
fense Mediation Board to cope with
the problem of strikes n defense
plants.
Awaiting Developments.
On the Kearny and Far Eastern
questions, the President said he was
waiting at Hyde Park for develop
ments. A reporter sought to draw
him out on Japan by asking if he
