McCarran Asks
Return Of Area
Coded Virginia
Bucks Restoration
Plan After Passage
OF War Office Bill

Congress will be asked by Chair
man McCarran of the Senate Dis
trict Committee to repeal the act
Of 1846, that gave back to Virginia
its portion of the original National
Capital
He decided to take this step after
the House and Senate had passed
the supplemental defense bill yes
terday, placing a s35,000,000 new
building for the War Department
in Arlington County on the ground
that no suitable site for the struc-
ture remains in the District.
The proposal Immediately drew
the condemnation of members of
the Virginia State Legislature in
nearby Arlington County and Alex
andria, who claimed that no men,
ber of the General Assembly would
agree to the plan.
Orders Bill Drafted.
The Nevada Senator said he had
directed R. F. Camalier, adviser to
the District Committee, to prepare
bill to reclaim Federal jurisdic-
tion over the area across the Po-
tomac, which Virginia originally
ceded to Congress for part of the
Capital and then took back.
The Senator said he is proceed
ing on the theory that whatever
Congress could do by legislative
enactment, it can undo, and that
If Congress had the power in 1886
to return the land to Virginia, it
can repeal that act. During de-
bate on the location of the War
Building Thursday Senator McCar-
ran questioned the right of Con-
greSs to dispose of the Virginia
area, once it had accepted it under
the Constitutional provision call
ing for seat Of government not
to exceed 10 miles square.
Invalid, McKellar Says.
Although Senator McKellar,
Democrat, of Tennessee, favored
the Arlington site for the building,
he went further than Senator Nc
Carran in Thursdays debate by de-
claring the retrocession of the
Arlington area to Virginia was un-
constitutional, and predicted the
courts would so hold. For that rea-
son, he argued, the new building
will be under Federal jurisdiction.
Senator McCarran said he did
not know what position the State
of Virginia would take if his bill
passes, but suggested he would give
the Old Dominion State a chance
to submit the issue to the courts.
Charles R. Fenwick of Arlington
County and Maurice D. Rosenberg
of Alexandria, both members of the
House of Delegates, were quick to
raise the issue of state rights
concerning Senator McCarran's
plan.
The gentleman overlooks the
fact that Virginia has accrued
vested rights in this land as result
of the Act of Recession" Mr. Fen
wick declared. 1T is not as though
Virginia would be giving back some
thing that was originally owned by
the Federal Government. The land
was originally Virginia's.
Mr.. FenWick and Mr.. Rosenberg
said not one member of the General
Assembly would agree to cede the
area back to the District and that
residents of the area would object
because they moved to Arlington
and Alexandra because they wanted
to live in Virginia
Gov. Price, at Norfolk, Va, said
he hasn't seen Senator McCarran's
proposal, but my first impression
is we are getting along all right
with what we have" the Associated
Press reported
THAT plan is one sure way to re-
open the Civil War" Mr.. Rosenberg
said in summarizing his views.

Yet all these things, somehow. seem

Perhaps it's the realization that

Canadians so philosophical. Or per-

on the Western Prince, bound for

coast of Ireland last December. Six

of the fortunate ones who was picked
up and saved, after drifting about for
hours in a lifeboat. asked one of his
close associates what he had to say
about it when he got back. What did

CASUALTIES


In war we think Of loss OF life
from wounds, but now We are told
that measles, mumps and other
childhood diseases may raise more
problems for the Army than battle
injuries.
Communicable diseases IN the
first World War were blamed for
more hospital admissions. deaths
, and man-days lost than wounds.
This leads to the conclusion that .
consulting pediatrician who has had
experience In preventing communi-
cable diseases among children
should be appointed.
Influenza, pneumonia, bronchitis
and tonsilitis caused most of the
illness and deaths in the Army Of
1918 but half million soldiers and
sailors we're affected by the purely
pediatric diseases, espe tally
mumps. measles, scabies, rheumatic
fever. vaccinia (cowpox), rubella
German measles), scarlet fever.
diphtheria, meningitis, dysentery.
impetigo, and chicken pox In that
order.
These II children's diseases Il.
fected twice as many men In the
Army and Navy as did wounds and
half as many ~ did Influenza. This
incidence of infectious diseases In
troops could be reduced by the
adoption OF preventive measures
which have been found TO be effica-
cious for children. Some Of these
precautions at present are being
used In the Army and Navy. but
more OF them could be applied to
good advantage.
