Prince Georges Board
Takes Up S672,635
Request for Schools
Commissioners Indorse
Hospital Bond Issue
Of Not Over S30O, 900
Nv q Staff CORRESPONDENT of The Star.

BY Staff Correspondent of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Md, March
12-The Prince Georges County
commissioners yesterday took under
consideration a Board of Education
budget request for s672,635.
The commissioners Endorsed a
proposed bond issue not to exceed
100000 to build a county hospital
provided the bonds would be issued
at the discretion of the commits
sioners.
The approval followed a plea by
members of the county's Federation
of Citizens Associations Hospital
Committee. A bill will be drawn
up for consideration at the present
session of the Legislature containing
the proviso that the bonds shall be
issued when the commissioners see
fit.
Walter F. Mulligan, federation
president, and Frank Fierstein. Hos
pital Committee chairman, led the
delegation
Tells of Civic Support.
Mr.. Mulligan told the commits
sionerS that Al civic organizations in
the county have approved the
project, which, he declared. should
be considered from the human
itarian point of view rather than
from just the financial aspect.
DR.. Martin j. Keane, committee
member, stressed the need for a
hospital in view of the increasing
difficulty of securing facilities of
crowded Washington hospitals He
warned that the day may come when
Washington hospitals will be forced
to refuse admission to all county
patients, thus placing the county in
"a desperate situation.
Mrs. Daisy La Coppidan. another
committee member, said the county
should be satisfied with nothing but
a thoroughly modern hospital. Mrs.
Nelson G. Tayman, another COM
mittee member, also Endorsed the
project.
Board Sympathetic.
William A. Carson, president of the
Board of Commissioners, said he was
sympathetic to the need for a hos
pital and that the board foresees
that the time is near when WASH
ington hospitals will be unable to
offer their facilities.
The county share in the new school
budget represents an increase of al
most -$31 900 over last year, due
chiefly to salaries for additional
high and elementary school teach
ers, according to Nicholas Orem,
county school superintendent.
The proposed budget does not in
clude the 100000 building budget
which is now pending in the Legis-
1ature.

D. &. Lawyer Now Lugs Coal
As First SeIectee With 18th
Rowland Edwards
Hopes for Clerical
Assignment Later
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES,
Star Staff CorreSnnndent

FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, Md,
March 12-Pvt. Rowland Edwards,
80, was on the coal detail today,
Juggling fuel to stoke the barracks
furnace. This is news because Pvt.
Edwards is the first selective serv-
ice recruit to join the 29th Division
He reported yesterday-the van
guard of some 5000 selectees who
will be sent to the division by May
l, raising it to war strength.
In civil life Pvt. Edwards is a
lawyer, and he has practiced his
profession in Washington for sew
eral years. Alone and unheralded,
he arrived in camp, bearing orders
sending him from the reception
center at Camp Lee, Va, to Head
quarters Company, Special Troops,
18th Division, from Washington
The new soldier is married and
lives at 140l Columbia road NV
He is a partner in the law firm of
Smith e. Edwards, with Offices at

is employed by the Veterans Adj
miniStration. He was born at Blue
Rapids, KanS.. and received bach
elor of arts degree at the Univer-
sity of Chicago and law degree at
George Washington University.
Assignment Is Mystery.
Pvt. Edwards did not know why
he was singled out and sent to the
division as a detachment of one.
Nor did any staff officer at division
headquarters know. He was sur
priSed, since the rest of his tempo
rary company at Camp Lee was sent
to the 260th Coast Artillery (the
anti aircraft regiment Of District
National Guardsmen) at Fort Bliss,
Tex. He had expected to go with
them. But he was not disappointed.
Now I can get home once in a
while" he pointed out,
He expressed hope, when he filled
out his vocational QUESTIONABLE at
Camp Lee, that he would be as
signed to the legal branch of the
Army, the Judge advocate generals
department.
IL was not known To-Day, Ho"eEel,
to what work he would be de-
tailed It was indicated that he
would be given some job at division
headquarters, perhaps clerical, since
he is, among other accomplish
ments, fast on the typewriter. There
was said to be no vacancy on the
division Judge advocates staff.
Meanwhile, Pvt. Edwards put in
his first day with his new outfit on
K. P. (as a knight of he pairing
knife in the barracks kitchen. And
then he was assigned to the coal
detail
Swell" Except for Mud.
His denim work clothes streaked
with mud, the new soldier looked up
