29th Division Blue Army
Moves Up for Attack

BY the Associated Press.
WITH BLUE ARMY IN FIELD,
Va. Sept. 1.-THE 29th Division
Blue" Army of 10000 this morning
began a mass evacuation of this
bivouac area in King and Queen
County and moved into attack po-
sitions against Red forces oO
miles to the north.
High overhead enemy observation
planes droned in lazy circles as
column after column Of marching
men and troop transports raised
clouds of dust on the black country
roads of this farming area.
Division headquarters officers pre-
dicted that no action other than
skirmishes between scouting patrols
would occur today. Both armies
probably will feel the other out,
they said. and jockey for strategic
positions on the battlefront. The
opening large-scale clash probably
will begin tomorrow morning when
the division closes the 50-mile gap
that separates opponents. The prob
lem is the first of two-week train
ing period at A. P. Hill Military
Reservation to prepare the division
for maneuvers this fall with the lst
Army in North Carolina.

War Department Buys
Old Airport Changes
Plans for lis Use
Field Adjacent to Site Of
Temporary Building Wos
First Intended for Drifts

The War Department has pur-
chased the old Washington Hoover
Airport and plans for use of the
field are being revamped in line
with the recent decision to locate
the new, temporary War Depart
ment building on site adjacent to
the property.
The War Department received an
appropriation of 81 100000 for pur-
chase of the property last June and
original plans called for use of the
field as drill ground.
Brig Gen Brehon B. Somervell.
chief of the Construction Division
Quartermaster Generals Office, re-
vealed today that the revised plans
will be ready shortly. Pending their
completion, he refused to discuss
them or give any idea as to what
use the field would be put.
1t has been suggested in the past
that the field be used as fringe
parking lot to help relieve traffic
congestion in Washington With a
new War Department building going
up on an 80-acre site adjacent to
the 145-acre field. additional park
ing facilities in that area will be-
come imperative.

In Anacostia -Benninq
Pre-Reeistrotion Indicates
Rooms Will Be Very Full,
But Not AIorminqIy So

With the week for preregistra-
ton in the elementary schools of the
Anacostia- -Benning area already half
over, supervising principals indicated
today that. although the schools
would be very full there was
nothing alarming in the situation
thus far
The special registration was called
by school officials a week in ad-
vance of the opening of public
schools in other sections of the
city to make sure they were pre-
pared to handle an expected con-
gestion due to the mushroom growth
of the area from defense workers
during the last few months.
Mrs. l. l. Ruediger, supervising
principal of the Anacostia schools,
said present indications would call
for two part-time classes-one in
the morning and one in the after
noon-at the Orr School, but that
original suggestions for part-time
sessions at Van Buren, had been
solved by the use of two firstfloor
rooms at Ketcham.
These rooms had previously been
used for library and arts work, and
were not intended for classroom use.
she said. but could be used under
the circumstances.
Mrs. Carol Schaeffer, principal of
the Ketcham-Van Burean combina-
ton, has visited the Bellevue devel-
opment of the Navy Department be-
tween Boiling Field and the Naval
Research laboratory for advance en-
rollmentS which were expected to be
the principal source of congestion.
She will visit the development again
tomorrow afternoon. 1t is expected
some 165 children from this area
alone will require instruction.
Mrs. Florence Rogers, supervising
principal of the sixth division, which
includes the Benning School. said
that part-t time classes would be
needed there for the first and second
grades, but that arrangements had
been made for special coaching for
those pupils incolved.--

After all the hullabaloo and
fanfare marking the departure OF
Washington's military units and
selectees. comes now the report OF
a disappearing squadron
Without a public peep, the last
of the District of Columbia National
Guard units to be called into active
service slipped away last Saturday
for Fort Bragg. N. c. Involved in
the silent exodus were some l25
officers and men of the 12lst OBJ
servation Squadron.
The squadron moved out of its
old quarters at the Pennsylvania
avenue armory and into Camp
Simms. across town, about 10 days
ago, but it was understood that the
unit would remain there at least
two weeks until facilities were maze
available at Fort Bragg.
1t seems the squadron received
the go ahead" signal bit earlier
than expected. The unit. in COM
mand of Maj. Clifton c. Hutchison
will participate in maneuvers OF
