Navy Heroism

Washington-A new tale of navy's heroism concerning a few men on small American vessel fighting courageously against great odds and bagging at least one of the attacking swarm of great flying boats before it was wounded itself and made port safely, came today from the Far East, where the U. s. warships are fighting side by side with the Dutch and British.
 The U. s. S. Heron, small sea- plane tender, suffered a direct bomb hit during a 7-hour pound- ing by Japanese planes. By fight ing back as hard as his too few guns permitted, then running the ship into haven, It. William Kabler, Virginia, won cheers of his men, the Navy Cross and immediate promotion to Lieut. entant Commander.

service building and an infirmary
will cover 0.6 acre.
Thus the total building area is 3.4
acres. But PBA plans call for a
two-story frame structure with
many wings. According to national
building code standards, says Mr..
Reynolds, separating courts must be
twice the width OF the wings, to cope
with fire hazards.
Calculating on this basis, 3.4 acres
of projected dormitory buildings
would require a total construction
area of 1912 acres, or about the
available area" of the Polo Field
parking lot.
May Use Site Later.
This figure is thrown of, accord
ing to Mr.. Reynolds, by various con-
struction problems and the fact that
If the dormitories were across the
street from their projected site 1t
would be necessary to build d cafe
terra to serve their residents. # they

Despite his present rejection OF
the parking lot site, the public
building commissioner said he may
use it later, If he has money left over
from the s12,00o,o0o appropriated to
build dormitories in the District and
Virginia. .t

partments say they would be willing
to relinquish their parking lots for
dormltory use. The asphalt field was
laid five months ago at a cost OF
about $115, 200 on what was once the
Polo Field, but had been used more
recently for 10 softball diamonds and
number of football fields. The 10
acres assigned to the Army are used
by 3 to 10 cars daily, while the Navy
half is used to about Is per cent Of
its 1903 car capacity.

and student lockers. A director.
three instructors and several student
assistants will be needed to carry
out the instruction.
A large vacant lot, 200 feet wide
and 800 fee. long, situated adjacent

ernnnent, has been graded and sur
faced and will be used for part of
the outdoor training. Among other
things, barricade and hurdling
course will be constructed on the
lot.
Before students are assigned to

Girls Dorn1itoriies to Be Built
On Potomac Park Golf Course
Huge Parking Lot Nearby Is Rejected;
May Be Used for Later Building

After long study" the Public
Buildings Administration has de-
cided to erect all of its West Poto-
mac Park girls dormitories on the
parks public golf course, rather
than to put any on the huge but
little used Army and Navy parking
lot nearby, according to Commits
sioner William E. Reynolds.
The principal reason, he said. is
that the parking lot, formerly the
Polo Field, Is too small for housing
that must accommodate more than
600 young women. The dormitories
are planned for more than twice as
many.
According to the Office of Ma
tional Capital Parks, the Polo Field
site is 20 acres in size. The site
picked by Mr.. Reynolds is smaller
occupying Is acres, according to the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission.
Mr.. Reynolds says, however, that
the available space" on the va
cant parking lot is only 10 and
a fraction acres, because 1t Is an
elltpse."
Opportunity to Play Golf.
Apart from the question OF area,
there has been no evidence that
putting the girls on the golf course
will make them happier than if
they were housed on the parking

leaders contend the war workers
would have more opportunity to
play in spare time If they had a
golf course at their front door. Un-
der present plans they will have an
asphalt parking area across the
street, used at 1914 per cent capac-
ity, according to an official survey.
PBA Is by no means unconcerned
about recreation. Plans for the
dormitory project, wherever it is
built, include a recreation building,
according to the Park and Planning
Commission, and three physical di-
rectors will be attached.
The golf course which PBA plans
to abolish is strictly a beginners
course" but 1t has the merit of be-
ing cheap to play on. A girl may
play for cents round. She may
rent clubs and bags at 10 cents per
article.

Only a small proportion of this
recreation area will actually be COW
cred by buildings under the PBA
scheme. although its public use will
be ended. Here are figures fur
nished by PBA site planner:
