ever, to rebut this testimony by sum-
moning psychiatrists who, he said,

Plumbers on Housing Project
Refuse to Take Alexandra Test

Under union rules, it was said,
plumbers cannot be hired from one
project by another contractor. but
If disqualified could seek jobs on the
project which pays the most in wages
and overtime.
Carl Budwesky, Alexandria's city
manager, said the examinations are
required as part of the plumbing
code, common practice among
cities. Plumbers at Park Fairfax
said the examinations we're simple
and do not amount to anything"
They would not say, however why
they are not taking them, or even to
admit that they are refusing.
Plumbers report no examinations
are required in Arlington.
City Faces Problem.
Mr.. Budwesky said "the city un-
doubtedly is faced with serious
problem" because it does not want
to relax the plumbing code. Neither
does it want to delay completion of
Park Fairfax, in view of the serious
housing situation, he said.
Some of the parties involved con-
ferred with Mr.. Budwesky this
morning, They said they were as
sured the matter would be brought
before the council tonight.

Committee Gets
Nursery School
Bill Tomorrow
Randolph Measure
Would Restore WPA
Plan in District

A special meeting OF the House
District Committee has been planned
for tomorrow morning to consider
Chairman Randolph's bin to restore
WPA nursery schools to the District
and to open the public schools to
children under among other press
ing pieces of legislation.
The bill introduced last week by
Mr.. Randolph would enable the Dis
trict to utilize part of WPA's S6,000,-
900 fund appropriated in July for
war nurseries to care for children
OF working mothers. Ten WPA
nurseries were operated in the Dis
trict until the 1889 District Appro-
priation Act eliminated them. The
Randolph bill, if passed, will also
end the 10-year ban on using
public schools as nursery schools.
DR.. Carroll Reed, who has been
acting superintendent of schools for
the summer, said that at the Board
of Education meeting tomorrow
afternoon, report recommending
the Boards sponsorship of WPA
nursery schools will be presented.
DR.. Reed said:
District school officials certainly
approve opening the schools to pre-
school children of working mothers
as a war measure to contribute to
the supply of war workers"
The Board has available a list of
high schools, junior high schools
and elementary schools that have
vacant classrooms which can be used
for WPA nurseries as soon as the
Randolph Bill is passed, he said.
Central, Eastern and Coolidge High
Schools each have one vacant room;
Gordon, Jefferson, and Powell Jun
lor High Schools have empty class
rooms. The names of elementary
schools with space are not available
yet.
The report to the board tomorrow
on nursery schools will be made by
Robert Haycock who will preside
and who is acting superintendent
until DR.. Frank w. Ballous return.
If the House District Committee
approves the Randolph bill tomor-
row. it will be ready for presentation
to the House on District day, this
coming Monday.

Returning to the Capital In re-
sponse to a call from Speaker Ray
burn, high-ranking members of the
House Military Affairs Committee
adopted show me" attitude today
toward pending legislation to lower
the draft age to 18 years.
The general sentiment of COM
mittee members already here was
summed up by Chairman May. who
said he was opposed to the induc-
ton of men under 20 unless "the
Army convinces me it is absolutely
necessary
Representative Thomason of Tex
as, ranking majority committee
member, likewise said he would have
to be shown the necessity for draft
ing 1s and 10 year olds before he
would support such a move.
Representative May said he had
no idea when his committee would
start hearings on legislation intro
duced yesterday by Representative
Wadsworth, Republican. of New
York, author OF the original draft
act, to lower the draft age from
20 to IS. Undoubtedly, the Ken
tuckian said, officials of the Army,
Navy and selective service system
would be called to testify.
Representative Wadsworth said
the age reduction was inevitable
and "the sooner it is done the bet
ter" He declared it would operate
to lessen considerably the domestic
and economic dislocations incident
to drafting large numbers of mar
ried men"
Representative Wadsworth's meas
ure proposed no change in the top
draft age, "A.

resentatives to return Monday and
end the informal recess which they
have had since late in July made

House would be asked to tackle.
Following the Presidents special
message requesting anti-inflationary
legislation, it was taken for granted
the Speaker had in mind quick ac-
ton on the request, especially since

turning to the Capital at the re-
