Arcade Sunshine Co., Inc. a Wash

The board charged the laundry
with failure to observe an order
issued by the court last December 9

interfering with employe organiza-
ton and to restore certain employees

aimed at alleged discrimination by

that almost 88 per cent of all officers
and civilians employed by the War
Department now live in Washing
ton. Only little more than II per
cent reside in Virginia.
Subcommittee members are said
to have questioned Brig. Gen.
Brehon Somervell and other Army
spokesmen as to what the Govern
ment would do with a building large
enough to house 40, 900 workers when
the present emergency is over and
the War Department goes down TO
it's normal personnel.
Cites Other Departments.
The Army officers are understood
to have suggested that any space
not needed by the War Department
in future would be available for
other Government activities. In
this connection it was reliably
learned that a representative of
the Public Buildings Administration
in the Public Works Agency told
the subcommittee that agency
should have control over the alloca-
ton of space in the proposed struc-
ture.
Meanwhile, there were indications
that members of the Appropriations
Committee who are not on the sub
committee but who will have voice
in passing on the subcommittee
recommendation next week are CIV
ing serious thought to the problems
presented by the War Department
building proposal.
One of them, Senator Gurney,
Republican, of South Dakota, said
he had been much impressed by the
original plan for public buildings
here, and would hate to see that
disrupted. He said a good show
ing would have to be made for the
new proposal, as far as he is con-
cerned.
McCarran FavOrs Capital.
Senator McCarran, Democrat, of
Nevada, another member of the full
committee, already has taken a
strong stand in favor of keeping
the executive departments in Wash
ington because it was set aside as
seat of Government in which Con-
gress would control the area sur
rounding its buildings.
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio,
a member of the Public Buildings
and Grounds Committee, also has
announced his purpose to find out
whether there is sufficient basic law
to authorize the inclusion of the
War Department project in an ap-
preparation bill without specific
enabling act. In the House Spe-
cial rule was obtained to avoid a
point of order on that ground.

Petition Seeks to Close
Four-MiIe Run Dump
q, . Staff Correspondent of The star.


ALEXANDRIA, Va, Aug. "a
petition seeking grand jury action
to close the Four Mile Run dump
as a public nuisance is to be pre-
sented to Judge William P. Woolls
of the Corporation Court. Common
wealth's Attorney Albert v. Bryan
said today.
The petition is signed by several
hundred residents in the northwest
section of town, who complain that
fires and rats constitute nuisance.
The dump, situated OH route l op-
posite the Arlington County sewage
disposal plant, was temporarily
closed last year after a fire lasting
several days. 1t was allowed to re-
open after the city had adjusted a
bill with the operators for damage
done to fire hose in quelling the
fire.
Mr.. Bryan said the Corporation
Court is in vacation during August
and will not reconvene until Sep
tember 8. 1t is within the discre-
ton of the court whether the case
is to be presented to the grand jury.
Mr.. Bryan said.
