Defense Puts Strain
On Nearby Schools,
House Unit Warned
D. c. Workers Obliged
To Send Children to
Maryland Glasses
By the Associated Press.

~ IAlc nSooSlabCO 4CsS-
Senator Stewart, Democrat, of
Tennessee joined House members
today in urging approval of legisla-
ton to provide $150000, 900 in Fed
eral funds for community facilities,
including schools, in defense areas.
The TenneSSean told the House
Public Buildings Committee that
growing defense activities in his
State had created problems which
many local communities would have
difficulty in meeting without Federal
aid.
County Judge Letton Hickman of
Nashville told the committee that
development of an aviation industry
near Nashville had created a school
problem in the city and Davidson
County which the county was at
tempting to meet with 100000
bond issue. He estimated provision
would have to be made to care for
the children of about 5000 new
workers and said Federal aid would
be needed.
Representative SaSscer, Democrat,
of Maryland told the committee an
abnormal school situation" had de-
veloped in his district which borders
Washington and embraces Fort
Meade, large powder plant at In
dian Head, and other defense activ-
tiles.
Many workers drawn to Washing
ton by the defense program, he said,
are living in nearby Maryland and
sending their children to school
there, putting a strain on Maryland
school systems.
These local units are unable to
cope with the problem and need
Federal help" he said.

the country the idea has grown up
that the dish IS "old-fashioned" and
hence not quite socially acceptable.

The authors own statements, a
Justice Department official said,
were the basis on which the first
step in deportation proceedings was
taken.
Valtln, who acknowledges that the
name he uses is a literary pseu-
donym, described in his book his
alleged experiences first as a Com
munisG agitator in his native Ger
many, then as a GeStapo (secret
police agent and later as an agi-
tator who sought overthrow of the
Government of the United States.
He told also of entering the country
illegally and of reversing his belief
in Communism.
Solely on the basis of statements
made by Valtin in his book, an
official said, there appeared to be
several counts on which he could
be deported. He listed these as
illegal entry, criminal record, and
former membership and activity in
an organization which advocates
overthrow of the Government.

Valtin could be deported as former
Communist even though he has
since renowned the party. His ad-
mitted criminal record. the official
pointed out, would preclude leniency
under existing law.
If the Justice Department should
decide that Valrin should be de-
ported, it would be confronted with
the problem of where and how to
send him-a situation which exists
with reference to some 5000 aliens
now under deportation warrants.
The department has been study
ing this particular problem for sew
