A special subcommittee of the
Board of Trades Aviation Commit

ton National Airport-a stand taken
by the Board of Trade itself last
year.
Meeting with its chairman, 10 V.
Morgan, the Districts one-man
Board of Tax Appeals, late yester-
day, the subcommittee expressed
its opposition to legislation to in
corporate the airport in the Dis

bill to place the boundary between
the District and Virginia at the
present high-water mark on the
Virginia shore.
The subcommittee recommenda-

Mr.. Settle declared that Virginia
officials were willing to agree TO

were against ceding any territory TO

Two Pennsylvania Sisters
Near Death After Attack
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MEDIA, Pa. Sept. 25.-Brutal
beating of two elderly sisters brought
on a manhunt today personally di-
rected by District Attorney William
B. McClenachan.
Investigators picked up a lighted
cigarette within a few feet of where
the women were battered into un-
consciousness, prompting McClen-
achan to express belief the attacker
just missed being caught at his
deed.
Carpenter Earl Thomas said he
heard means while working at his
house last night and found Miss
Belle Geary, 80, and Mrs. Elizabeth
Watson, 78, lying in the yard of their
home where they lived alone.
Physicians termed Mrs. WatSon's
condition critical She was beaten
about the face and her nose broken
while Miss Geary was dubbed
about the head. The attack marked
the eighth such crime in this COM
munity within two years.

School Officials Find
Jobs Are Accounting
For Lost Pupils
6,e07 Work Permits
Granted in Yeor, Over
Twice 1939-40 Figure

School officials were feeling better
today after a study revealed where
many of their "lost" pupils had gone.
After making careful plans for an
expected congestion in the system,
they were frankly shocked when
both opening and second-day regis
trations were substantially below
those of year ago.
Yesterday Public Schools Statisti-
clan Boise L. Bristor decided to look
into the number of youths allowed
to forego school to accept employ
ment and found where some 4,300
prospective pupils had gone.
Mr.. Bristor learned that from
September, 1910, to last month, 6,907
permits were granted by the work
permit section to children of school
age, as compared with 2,577 during
the same period year ago.
Summer Boom.
Reducing it to summer months,
Mr. Bristor discovered that during
last June, July and August, 2,774
permits were granted, against TIT
for those three months a year ago.
These permits allow youngsters of
school age to work under child labor
regulations in certain types of en-
ployment Permits of a restricted
kind can be had by youths of IA
years of age who have completed
the eighth grade. The so-called
regular" permit can be issued to
youths of 16. Mr.. Bristors study
includes only regulars"
Mr. Bristor said one vocational
school alone reported more than 100
students employed and probably not
returning to classes.
He added that there might easily
be 800 to 1000 students over 18 years
old who ordinarily would have re-
turned to high schools, but who have
accepted employment instead. These
students, because of their age, would
not have to take out work permits
and hence check on the actual
number would be difficult, Mr..
Bristor said.
Increase Expected.
After questioning several school
principals, Mr.. Bristor said he found
other pupils we're still on vacation,
some were sick and still others were
being kept at home by parents for
fear of infantile paralysis.
Announcing he was going to make
a further study of the employment
problem as it affected school enroll
ment, especially in vocational schools
the statistician, nevertheless, pre-
dicted that many of the boys and
girls would be trickling back into
classes, and that enrolment would
eventually work out as predicted-an
increase over last year OF about 3,400
In their predictions of congestion
in the Anacostia-B -Benning section
where many new housing develop
mentS have been opened for both
white and colored, school officials
were more accurate. Yesterday
10479 were registered in Is schools
in the area, against 1926 at the same
time last year.

 WeIIes' Statement
(By ASSOCIATED PREss)

President Franklin D. Roosevelt today suddenly called into the armed service of the United States all organized military forces of the Philippine Government. The call was issued from the summer White House at Hyde Park, N. Y
 No immediate official explanation of this step is given but it is gen. erally regarded as an indication of the displeasiire of the United States at Japan's southward Pacific moves.
 The call to arms of military forc- es in the Philippines closely fol- lowed the United States freezing of Japanese credits and assets in the United States. and Nippon's re- taliatory freezing of American as- sets.
 American General
 The Presidents order puts the Philippine military forces under the command of an American Army general who will designate the time when the personnel will be induct- ed into American armed service. All Philippine naval units will be held under the command of the Sixteenth United States Naval Dis- trict.
 FDR'S order was said to have been enacted under the constitu- tional authority of the Islands In- dependence Act and the Philippine Constitution Ordinance.
 More Jap Threats
 At Washington Under Secretary of State Sumner Welles said that the Japanese occupation of French Indo-C China led the United States government to conclude that the action of Japan was undertaken because of estimated value to Ja- pan of bases in that region pri- marily for the purpose of further and more obvious movements of conquest in adjacent areas He said the steps taken by Ja- pan bear directly on the vital problem of our national security and also endanger the safety of other areas in the Pacific includ- ing the Philippine Islands.

WASHINGTON-The double barrelled dose of economic warfare freezing Axis orders and the blacklist-played real hob With Axis operations in South America. Confidential government cables report that as result of these measures, 25,OOO Axis nationals have been uprooted wholesale from their thriving enterprises and have become refugees, getting a dose of the bitter medicine Germany meted out to millions of European victims forced to flee their homes.
 Most of the Axis agents are flock ing to Southern Chile, where there is a large German colony. From Bolivia alone two train loads of Axis agents left for Africa, in northern Chile, where they boarded a Japanese ship chartered to take them to Valdina, in the South. This concentration in southern Chile is not disturbing authorities an dthey are doing nothing to stop it. The region is remote, easily iso- lated and it is broadly hinted that it may be made sort of "concen- tration camp under military guard
 It can also be revealed that m addition to the original blacklist of 1900 names, there IS another ooptoinino 5OO more
 When these names will be pup lished depends on secret investiga- tions now under way in the U. D. and Latin America by Commerce Department experts. Secretary Jesse Jones has ordered that par ticular attention be given to the shipment of U. s. goods packed and labelled to hesemble German pro- ducts to Nazi firms in Latin Amer ica. Many of them have done a thriving business in this merchan- disc, turning over the profits for Axis political machinations.

eBy ASSOCIATED PREss)

President Franklin D. Roosevelt, late yesterday afternoon, at Hyde Park, N. Y, froze Japanese assets in the United States effective at the opening of business this morn ing.
 Chinese assets were also frozen at the request of Generalissimo Chiang Kai Shek for the purpose of helping the Chinese Govern Nment in Japanese occupied portions of China.
 The freezing order apparently prevents the removal of any Jap anese ships from the United States.
 Japan Strikes Back
 International Japan struck back in the new economic war today by freezing United States assets in the Nipponese Empire. Indications are that the same retaliation is com- ing up against Great Britain.
 American sources said Japan will probably take over Shanghai, oc- cupying the virtually indefensible International Settle ment and French concessions without resis- tance.
 Move Suspected
 It is expected that Japan will act through the Tokyo-sponsorcd Ranking government on the long threatened abolition of foreign holdings in the China Seas.
 It is estimated the Roosevelt or der freezing Japanese and Chinese credits apply to Japanese funds and property aggregating more than 131 million dollars. The retaliatory Japanese action will immoblize PIT million dollars in American assets.
