War BuiIdiho
Continued From First Page,

in that time the only sound plan
that has been offered has come out
of the legislation which Congress
has approved. But Mr.. McCloy and
Gen. Somervell would not dis
cusS it.
II said more than I intended
saying upon leaving the White
House" the former remarked.
The Presidents plan in connec-
ton with use of areas in the North
west triangle, of course, is under
serious consideration. That area had
been discarded by War Department
officials previously as too crowded
for the largest building in the
world Since it is probable that
the building will be reduced to half
its size, the site now looms as more
practicable.
Isn't What Army Wants.
1t isn't what the Army people
want. 1t involves building the other
units of the new War Department
building on Virginia avenue and the
construction of a new Navy build
ing on the other side of the Naval
Hospital Then, according to the
Presidents plan, the new Navy
building could be turned over to the
War Department for the period of
the emergency and released to the
Navy later.
1t was not believed that proposed
sites such as the United States Sol
diers' Home and the National Train
ing School for Boys will figure into
the new plans. These sites, it was
claimed, are geographically insult
ed to building even half the size
of the controversial War Depart
ment structure. The areas are very
hilly.
The desire of Army officials to get
all departmental activities under
one roof has been intensified more
than ever, now that the Offices of
Undersecretary Robert P. Patterson
have been moved to the new build
ing at Twenty-first street and Vir-
ginia avenue. 1t has proved con-
slant source of inconvenience and,
in some cases; of irritation. All
procurement matters dealing with
the expanding Army are under Mr..
Patterson's direction and messengers
must be relayed back and forth from
the Munitions building.

Chevy Chase Woman Gives
Altar to Church Prisoners Built

prison, according to the Associated
Press.
The idea of a Cathedral of the
Condemned" was conceived by
Father A. R. Hyland, Catholic chap
lain Of the prison. IF our men
could occasionally live in a different
atmosphere, an atmosphere of peace,
nearness to God hundreds
would get on the right track by
themselves" he reasoned.
The proposal won Endorsement of
church and State officials and lay
men. Labor was assured by ap-
proximately 200 inmates, all Of
whom, State Correction Commits
sioner John A. Lyons says, were
idle prisoners who volunteered.
In addition to Mrs. Latrobe's do
nation, S250,000 for materials came
from private sources, given by those
OF all faiths. Stone came from a
razed prison wall.
Behind ceiling grilleS, high above
the historic altar, is concealed
s25 900 pipe organ-the donation
OF two Jews.
Evening star., 1941-08-21

Services before an altar contrib
uted by a Chevy Chase woman will
mark the dedication next Thursday
of a church erected by felons of
Clinton State Prison in Dannemora,
n. Y, to st. Dismas-the good
thief" who died with Christ on
Calvary.
The Magellan" altar, a recon-
struction from parts of that which
the Portuguese navigator carried to
the Philippines in 1921, was pre-
sented to the prison church by Mrs.
Maria de Latrobe. 6308 Connecticut
avenue NV, wife of 1t. Comdr.
w. c. Latrobe, U. S N.
To be known as the Maria de La
trobe Memorial, the altar had been
in Mrs. Latrobe's family for genera
tions and was handed down to her
by her father, a Spanish naval
officer.
For three years convict volunteers
at Clinton Prison have Clipped,
shaped and piled rock on rock to
construct the first prisoner built
house of worship within the walls
OF any American maximum security

New Tank Killer Unit
To Demonstrate It's +
Might al Fort Meade
Battalion Is First Of
Many Strongly Armed
. Forces Army Plans

The new tank killer" battalion
of the United States Army, fore
runner of many more units even
more strongly armed and equipped
which the War Department will put
into operation before its defense
program is completed, will display
its military might at Fort George
G.. Meade, Md, at 1890 am. next
Wednesday.
The battalion, made up from
personnel of the Regular 93d Anti
Tank Battalion at Fort Meade, a
unit of the I'd Army Corps, will
see action for the first time in
large-scale maneuvers this fall.
All its rs and 81 millimeter anti
tank guns and anti-aircraft weap-
ons are mounted on propelled
vehicles. The tank killer" for
instance. is the so-called half
track or steel-sided car with wheels
in front and caterpillar tracks be-
hind, on which are mounted 75-
millimeter gun and an anti-aircraft
machine gun.
Another vehicle is the swamp
buggy which has no body. to give
it low silhouette. and is equipped
with very large balloon tires to carry
it over marshy terrain. The driver,
on halting his machine. can fire the
-millimeter gun without moving
