$4,000 School Loan
Request Authorized
By Arlington Board
Money to Be Sought
From Stute Fund for

The Arlington County Board to-
day authorized the School Board to
negotiate the loan of $4,000 for
additions and improvements on the
Washington and Lee High School
and the Claude A. Swanson Junior
High School.
Supt. of Schools Fletcher Kemp
told the county heads the School
Board had approved the loan, which
will be sought from the State
Literary Fund of the State Board
of Education in Richmond.
Under the proposal, $4,000 would
be spent for the addition of eight
classrooms to the Swanson School.
Extension of the woodworking shop
and addition of five clasSroomS to
the Washington and Lee High
School, with other vocational train
ing facilities, would cost $4,000. DR..
Kemp said. The improvement on
the high school, he told the county
board, would add about 10000 square
feet to the school facilities.
Asked whether the School Board
was devoting its activities entirely
to schools, DR.. Kemp said the educa-
tional group was concerning itself
with the welfare of the entire county
in recreational improvements as well
He revealed a study is being made
of recreational facilities in the
county by a committee headed by
DR.. N P Nelson of the American
Association for Health, Physical
Education and Recreation, and Maj
Elliott Graves of the Department of
Public Instruction in Richmond.
The school superintendent said the
results of this study would probably
be made available within month.
DR.. Kemp said that on the basis of
the survey, his group would be better
able to determine Arlington CountyS
recreational needs.
If successfully negotiated, Airing
ton County must repay the borrowed
amount within 80 years at per cent
interest on the unpaid balance. The
accrued interest reverts to the fund.
DR.. Kemp said the authority of the
County Board as the tax-levying
body was necessary for the transac-
ton because the loan is repaid with
funds raised through taxes.

Committee members admitted the
center of opposition came from sim
liar businesses and from farmers
like Carroll Lee of Anne Arundel
County, who told the committee that
his taxes were $187 year and he
received $2l2 a year revenue from
billboards on his place. He said he
made a motor trip to Mexico re-
Gently and saw signs along the way
in every State without having his
pleasure trip spoiled.
Washington I. Cleveland, mana
ger of the District of Columbia Mo-
tor Club, American Automobile As
sociation, attended the hearings and
announced he will appear with the
proponents of the bill at commit
tee hearing next week.

SeIectee Test
Schedule Lags
In Alexandria
Examination System
Using Volunteer
Doctors Criticized

~ Staff Correspondent of The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, Feb. 27.-The
medical examination system of the
Selective Service Board here is
working in an unsatisfactory way
the Rev. William B. McIlwain, jr.
board chairman, declared yesterday
He said he did not intend to criti-
cize any physician, "but the fact is
that the volunteer doctors just do
not appear" for examinations of
prospective soldiers held each Fri
day at Alexandria Health Center.
The shortage of medical eXamin-
ers was so acute at the last ses-
sion, he reported, that only 10 men
could be examined out of 25 ordered
to appear The rest were turned
away after long wait, he said.
On the previous Friday, only Is
out of Is men present were ex-
amined. according to Board Clerk
A. S. Slaymaker. Mr. Slaymaker
declared that the board has
reached the point of evaporation
because of such delays.
Clinic System Criticized.
In reply. one draft board physi-
clan criticized the system of examin-
ing in a clinic, and suggested that
doctors could do better job in
their private Offices during their
regular working hours.
No draft calls have been missed
in the city, Mr.. Slaymaker said, but
the board is behind schedule" in
the number of men given physical
examinations. He reported that
only 63 have been approved as in
good health. while the city's quota
OF selectees for the year ending in
June is 176. More than this num-
ber must be found in satisfactory
condition, he said, to allow for re-
jections at the induction center.
Alexandria has a larger medical
examining staff than any other Vir-
ginia selective service board, the
clerk declared. He said its 1l-man
membership was "a special dispen-
sation' from State draft officials.
OF these, three are specialists, DR..
J. w. Love conducts preliminary
interviews. DR.. H. E. Cross examines
eyes, and Dr. A. L. Phillips tests
teeth, he said. All of these he re-
ported regular in attendance.
Urged to Work Out Plan.
The remaining eight do general
examinations. OF these. the board
clerk said two were constant in at
tendance, one was rather regular.
one came occasionally, and four at
tended seldom"
The board chairman expressed the
belief that 1.-The doctors will have
to work out system among them
selves since the rapidity of draft
calls is going to increase"
One physician told reporter that
he had never been asked for an
opinion" but he considered it very
bad to hold the examinations at the
health clinic at specified time"
Emergencies have sometimes pre-
vented him from attending, he said.
He declared he could examine
three or four young men in one hour
at his own Office, if given the op-
portunity Blood tests could still
be handled centrally by an Alex
andria Hospital technlcian, he said.
Other physicians, however, de-
Tended the present system as ideal
Among these was one physician
whom Mr.. Slaynaker listed as at
tending infrequently Others listed
influenza and maternity cases as
reasons for irregularity.
