section of the intersection. The
land was described as high plateau
with a few residential properties,
most of which will be demolished
One recently completed structure
however, will be kept, it was said,
probably for use as a clubhouse. The
exact boundaries, however, have not
been aScertained as yet, since no
survey has been made, it was
stated.
The entire suburban area was
carefully studied before the present
tract was decided upon, it was an
nounced. The Arlington County
tract where the first general office
building will be completed is limited,
and further expansion there is un-
likely, it was explained. In Mont
gomery County, the available large
tracts would be too far out, it was
indicated. Representative Sasscer,
Democrat of Maryland, urged the
Suitland site.
The personnel to use the new
building will probably be about 100
per cent clerical, it was said, the
key officials retaining locations in
the city.
The Government, it was said, will
make a study of the road situation
to the tract. At present the quickest
route is out Pennsylvania avenue
Sc. to Alabama avenue, south to
Suitland road and east on Suitland

S4,937 Back Pay Given
Dykstra as Educator

By the Associated Press.
MADISON, Wis, March 15.-At.
torney General John E. Martin
ruled today that Clarence A. Dykstra
president of the University of Wis
consin, was entitled to back salary
of s4,937.50, which had been held
up by Secretary of State Fred R
Zimmerman because DR.. Dykstra
also was National Selective Service
administrator.
Mr.. Zimmerman contended that
Mr.. Dykstra could not legally collect
a State salary while he held the
Federal post.
The Attorney General ruled that
because Mr.. Dykstra continued as
de facto officer, by exercising the
duties of the presidency, he was en-
titled to the salary. The present
claim dates back to December.
Mr.. Dykstra offered to turn back
to the university his Federal salary
of $4,000 a year when the board
of regents voted to continue his
$4,000 yearly university salary.

clubs, athletics, youth forums, sum-
mer camps and scouting for young

A rush of speculative real estate

posed suburban Federal Office city

the options to the tract. A number
of inquiries have been made there by
real estate people and a Washington

several private housing developments

ROOSEVELT, HULL IN CONFERENCE
Second in Two Days; Re- peal of Neutrality
 Law Seen

Washington, Oct. 1.--(Up)- President Roosevelt conferred today with Secretary of State Cordell Hull for the second time in 24 hours but indications were that he might defer presenting his plan for neu- trality act revision to congress un. til next week.
 Democratic leaders are convinced they can obtain majoritieS to auth. ori2e arming of American merchant vessels and to repeal combat zone restriction, but MT. Roosevelt ap- parently decided to make haste slowly.
 Hull, supplementing his two-hour conference with the President yes- terday, spent AS minutes with the chief executive this morning. It was obvious that MT. Roosevelt, in his continuing conferences with Hull, was exploring the entire neutrality picture in greatest detail.
 This was substantiated by White House Secretary Stephen T. Early with the remark that "the Presi- dent wants to finish his discussions with Hull before he sees the con. gressional leaders"
 MT. Roosevelt, at Hyde Park last week end, had intended to call in the Congressional big four" today, but changed his plans late yester- day. Early left the impression that the "big four" would not be called in until next week.

MANY LIVES LOST
 IN JAP TYPHOON

Tokyo, Oct. 1-- (UP) - Scores, if not hundreds, Of lives were feared lost today when 6 typhoon, accom- panied by torrential rain, swept in from the Guam area of the Pacific and struck Southwestern Japan in full force.
 Dispatches said 50 bodies had been recovered, and more than 50 more were sought by rescue squads after three capacity-fllled coaches of a passenger train plunged from Q storm. weakened bridge into c rag ing river in Oita Prefecture. One hundred of the passengers, most of them secondary school students, were rescued, 1t was said.
 Sixty fishermen were feared lost with six trawlers caught by the storm of the southwest coast.
 Dispatches said extensive damage had been done to property and crops in the whole southwestern area and that shipping services on the coasts and in the inland sea which the southwestern islands enclose had been disrupted.

ACCIDENTS MAR
 HEALTH RECORD
Americans in General Keeping in Excellent .
 Physical Condition

The American people as 6 whole are making a valuable contribution to national defense by keeping in fine physical condition, according to statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. The only blot on an otherwise favorable health picture, they say, is Q sharp increase in accidental deaths.
 Reduced mortality in the major cities and among the insurance cornpany's Industrial policyholders are outstanding indications of the excellent health now prevailing throughout the country. Tn New York City, for instance, the death rate for 1o41 through August was 10.l per 1000 as compared with 10.3 for the corresponding period last year. Among the millions of men, women, and children insured in the Industrial department of the Metro politan, the January-August death rate was IA per cent lower this year than last. Moreover, the sta- tisticians explain that tuberculosis, which might have been expected to increase as a result of accelerated industrial activity, has, on the con- trary, dropped to the lowest point on record for the first eight months of the present year." New low yllor- tality rates are also being estab- lished for pneumonia, diarrhea and enteritis, and appendicitis.
 With respect to the one unfav- orable phase of the health picture - the sharp increase in deaths from accidents, and more especially from motor vehicle accidents, the statisti- clans say:
 For all forms of accidents com bined, the mortality among the 1n- dustrial policyhelders was 10 per cent higher for the first eight months of this year than last; the corresponding increase for motor ve- hicle accidents waS 22 per cent. Each month, without exception, deaths from motor vehicle accidents have been higher in 1941 than a year ago. In August the death rate in the present year, 21.5 per 100000, ex- ceeded the corresponding figure of 194o by 16 per cent. This is truly & serious situation, and 1t is to be hoped that President ROosevelt's recent proclamation to curb acci- dents will lead to a reduction in this national menace"

 Typical of the 300 airports the WPA is constructing or improving, Geiger Field was dreamed up back in 1888 as super-airport for Spo- kane, center of northwest aviation.
 Located in a natural citadel of defense" between the Rockies and the coastal Cascades, some 300 miles from the Pacific, the field won quick favor with the war department and was rated type four" (the highest) by the CAA.

GEN. ANTONESCU
 GIVES UP COMMAND
Rumanians Lose Interest in Fighting Reds Outside
 of Own Country

Istanbul, Turkey, Oct. 1.-(UP)-- Trustworthy informants arrived from Rumania asserted today that Gen. Ion Antonescu had relin- quished command of all Rumanian troops outside Rumanian territory on the eastern front and had named himself defense minister, relin- quiShing the prime ministry in fa- vor of Michail A1tonescu.
 Antonescu named Gen. Iosif Lac- obici, who had served as defense minister, as chief of the general staff, the informantS said. Michail ArltoneScu is Q former minister of justice in the Rumanian cabinet.
 By his action, 1nfor1nants said, Antonescu had formally disowned authority for any advance by Ru- rnanian troops outside what he claims for Rumania, which includes the Bessarabian territory Russia retook before the Russo German war broke out.
 Informants pointed out that his attitude was somewhat like that of the Films, who are reported not to be eager to go outside their boun- diaries as they were before the Rus so-Finnish war.
 Informants said the. Rumanian army was tired of the Russian cam paign, as was the Rumanian pub- lie, largely due to heavy losses.
 They said the Rumanians by themselves bore the brunt of the attack on Russia in the south all the way to the Black Sea, and that the Rumanians considered the price too heavy for the territory regained
 Despite this situation, 1t was said Gen. Antonescu continued to send Rumanian troops outside BeSarabia for service on the front and had mobilized three additional army corps (90,000 men or more) by call ing up men as old as 40 years ct the demand of Germany.
 It was said that German troop movements in Bulgaria were still being intensified. Experts suggested they might be intended first to put moral pressure on Turkey and sec ondly to attack Turkey if the pres- sure failed.
