Arlington Entering
Greatest Expansion
Period in History
Six Office Buildings
And Large Apartment
House to Be Erected

Arlington County awaits only Sem
ate action on an appropriation bill
amendment before entering the
greatest expansion period in its his
| tory.
Assuming that the Senate votes
favorably, probably tomorrow, on
the amendment to allow construc-
ton of six Federal Government
Office buildings on the Arlington Ex-
perimental Farms property, the bill
will go to Conference Committee for
| agreement. If the agreement is
reached-and leaders see no blocks
in it's path-the Public Buildings
Authority will proceed almost at
once to start work on the 81 100 900.
project, under direction of the Fed
eral Works Agency.
Already, one Federal Government
office building is nearing completion
adjacent to Arlington Memorial
Cemetery. and a private develop
ment of apartment housing is con-
templated on Columbia pike in Ban
croft, at a cost of $4,000,000. The
influx of new residents that is almost
sure to follow has brought concern
to county officials who maintain, for
one thing, that the facilities of the
county sewage disposal plant at
-Four Mile Run will be overtaxed.
| Schools also will be overcroWded,
they say.
Arlington Site Chosen.
| JLyloi1a +Ia n
| construction of the six Office build
ings specifies only that they be
| erected on Government owned land
in or near the District of Columbia,
hearings on the amendment brought
out the fact that they were to 60
up on the Arlington County farms.
Private plans of the Public Buildings
Administration also call for their
| location there.
The amendment was written into
the fifth supplemental defense bill
and Senator Adams, Democrat, of
Colorado said he was told the build
ingS were to be of temporary type,
and of two-story, walk-up speciica-
tions. Budget Director Harold D.
Smith, in writing the recommended
ton to Congress, said that in view of
the expansion of governmental es-
Establishments and the impossibility
of renting sufficient space, "it be-
comes necessary to make provision
to meet these requirements by the
building of temporary structures"
Speed to Be a Factor.
When the bill is enacted, money is
to be expended by the Federal Works
Agency, which constructs Govern
ment buildings through the Public
Buildings Administration Plans of
the P. B. A. are not known, except
that speed will be an important con-
Sideration. The structures are to in
clude 100000 square feet.
The private apartment develop
ment at Bancroft became a posi-
bility yesterday when the Arlington
County Board rezoned five blocks
from residential A to residential B.
There are to be approximately 900
units, and are to be designed to care
for an estimated $500 persons. Ac-
cording to representatives of Thomas
Delashmutt of Arlington, rezoning
petitioner, construction probably will
begin this spring.

Arlington Boy Scouts Perform
Rescue Work During 'BIockout'

1t might have been "blackout'
in London so far as 30 Arlington
County (VaD Boy Scouts were con-
cerned last night.
Blindfolded and working with
clock-like efficiency, members Of
eight patrols from Scout troops in
the county provided over 200 friends
and members of their families at
the Washington-Lee High School
with practical demonstration of
rescue work under simulated con-
ditionS of total darkness.
Specifically, their problem was
this: man had been dragged from
a swimming pool unconscious and
his breathing had stopped. Sud-
denly all illumination was gone The
Scouts job was to properly treat
the patient and to provide adequate
artificial respiration.

Three thousand Washington school
children took a new kind of ex-
animation yesterday-on their sing
ing of The Star Spangled Banner" ;"
DR.. Hans Kinder, conductor of
the National Symphony Orchestra,
gave the examination at the final
children's concert in Constitution
Hall. A 6-foot thermometer with
a red index and five variations,
from mo good" to excellent" was
set up on the stage and the chill
dren told to go to it.
When the strains of the National
Anthem rolled out from the stand
ing audience the red index shot up
to excellent" at once and stayed
there throughout. Proving that
good marks were not easily OBJ
tained, rating of mo good" was
given the children on their rendi-
ton of Aud Lang Syne," although
repeat performance got a very
good"
The thermometer will be a fixture
at the 18th Children's series start
ing next fall, it was promised.
Group singing and short lectures
on types of instruments and the
background of musical selections
have been featured at the IS chill
drens concerts given by the or
chestra since last fall.
Traffic was delayed outside the
hall yesterday as II buses and
hundreds of private cars brought
school children from the District
and Montgomery, Prince Georges
and Arlington counties to hear the
final program.
The concerts have been given
separately in II schools and the
students saw their fellow music
lovers together yesterday for the
first time. Dozens of toddlers pat
tered in with their mothers and
here and there a father had taken
time off from the Office.
Crowds of autograph hunters as
large and urgent as those for any
movie star pressed backstage after
the concert. But this time they
were seeking out one of their own
schoolmates, Wilton Syckes, 15-year-
old Western High School violinist,
who was soloist with the orchestra.
Playing before a full house yes
terday didn't make Bill Syckes
nearly as nervous as his first re-
hearsal with the orchestra in the
empty hall, he said.
Doubly encouraging was the pres
ence of mother, father, brother Lua,
who plays the cornet, and "at least
dozen aunts" in the audience to
cheer him on.
Il saw a lot of friends from West
ern, too," said Bill" A native of
Cumberland, Md, he is living with
Mr.. and Mrs. A. P. Swink at 1895
Thirty-fifth street NV. and at
tending sophomore classes at West
ern while he studies music here.

New Roadway
Planned Across
Canfonment
Project May Provide
Southern Approach
To Memorial Span
By HENRY A. Muslin.

The National Capital Park and
Planning Commissions long-cher-
iShed dream of a new southern ap-
proach to Arlington Memorial Bridge
soon may be carried a step toward
realization by construction with de-
fenSe funds of a mile-long roadway
across Arlington Cantonment. The
road will join Military road with
Columbia Island traffic plaza.
The Public Roads Administration,
it was learned yesterday, is near
ing completion of the necessary
plans, which call for an untra mod
ern, four-lane divided roadway with
bltuminouS surface. Although
there is no specific appropriation for
the work, the Interior Department
hopes to get an ALLEGATION of some
100000 of defense funds to cover
the cost of the roadway and neces-
sary engineering.
Avert Traffic Congestion.
Deemed vital to defense activities,
the new roadway program was given
impetus by the growth of Arlington
Cantonment and the Governments
defense office building program.
Scheduled for occupancy this sum-
mer, United States Office Building
No. 2 is being built at Columbia
pike and Arlington Ridge road close
to the southern terminus of the
projected road. The building will
house 5000 Navy Department en-
ployes
Furthermore, it was learned re-
Gently that the Public Buildings
Administration will provide office
space for an additional $500 Fed
eral employees in a group of six tenn
porary Office buildings on the land
bOrdered on the north and west by
Memorial avenue and Arlington
Ridge road. Construction of the
new roadway will prevent traffic
congestion in the area.
The Park and Planning Commits
sion long has considered it advisable
to provide a southern approach to
Memorial Bridge and Government
engineers assigned to the new road
way project have followed the COM
missions ideas closely. The new
road thus will fit into the larger
highway scheme envisaged by the
planning group.
Bridging of Channel.
While the road to be built by the
Government will terminate at Mill
tary road, the Park and Planning
COpnpicciop'c ccbop,a ora,,t,,oll,, ;c
to continue the road south along the
general line of Army Navy drive to
join United States Route /. The
commission also foresees road west
ward around Arlington National
Cemetery and Fort Myer, roughly
paralleling Military road, to connect
with Lee boulevard.
Completion of the new road will
entail bridging of Boundary Channel.
The Government blueprints also
show an overpass across the Penn
sylvania Railroad spur paralleling
the channel where the road will be
laid, and since it will traverse Ar
llngton CantOnment, an underpasS
is to be provided in the encamp-
ment's center so that the Army may
maneuver without conflicting with
traffic.
Although the area in question still
is identified with the experimental
farm, the farm has been moved to
Beltsville, Md, and the land is con-
trolled by the War Department.
When. Congress transferred the
lands jurisdiction, a 2OO-foot right
of way was allotted to the Interior
Department so the road could be
built.

Alcohol Is Threat
To National Defense,
Sheppard Asserts
Senator Makes Speech
On 2lst Anniversary
OF u. S. Prohibition

Emphasizing that the young men
of this Nation who are now going
in training for the national de-
fense must be physically flt," and
condemning beverage alcohol as a
threat to the health, happiness
and prosperity of our citizenship"
Senator Sheppard, Democrat, of
Texas, today made his annual
speech on prohibition, observing
"the 21st anniversary Of the birth
of national prohibition"
Senator Sheppard stated his con-
viction that national prohibition
is the most effective and practical
means of protecting the American
people, especially American youth,
from the losses and the tragedies
of one Of the principal social
enemies of the Republie-beverage
alcohol"
He reminded his colleagues that
stream of liquor began to pour
forth legally seven years ago after
an interval of 13 years during which
its manufacture, sale and possess
sion constituted an illegal act under
the Constitution. Since then it has
risen to flood tide, ever increasing,
threatening to deluge the Nation
and leave in its wake a wreckage of
human lives"
Senator Sheppard quoted from
recent scientific articles on alcohol
as a factor in traffic accidents" by
DR.. Donald S. Berry, secretary of
the Committee on Tests for Intoxica-
ton, National Safety Council; NOR
tality from alcoholism in the United
States" by DR.. Calvin F. Schmid,
associate professor of sociology, Uni
versity of Washington, and DR..
Lawrence Kolb, assistant surgeon
general of the United States Pub
lie Health Service.
The Senator said DR.. Kolb cites
hospital records from two cities,
New York and Washington, showing
the prevalence of serious disabling
alcoholism. Regarding the District,
he said that in 1889 there were 1,347
alcoholic admissions to Gallinger
Hospital, giving a rate of 2045 per
100000 population.

The churches of America have an
important role to play in bringing
about the spiritual rebirth" neces-

of State Hull asserted today in an

Methodist Church.
Declaring that mo material means
of defense will suffice" without "an
ur1Shakable faith in the everlasting
worth of freedom and honor, of
truth and justice, of intellectual anc
spiritual integrity, triumphant
faith in God," Mr.. Hull wrote:
"Our churches, particularly, have
an exceptionally important role to
play in this work of spiritual re-
birth. The terrible misfortunes
which are being visited upon man.
kind have been the result of a dan
gerous deterioration of standards OF
