perimentally"
He suggested use of a Diesel
electric locomotive handling two
coaches with a seating capacity of
IA persons. Such coaches are i'm
mediately available from Northern
railroad on a rental basis of $l2 a
day. He estimated the expense for
operating the experimental run
would require the carrying of 223
commuters daily averaging fares of
20 cents each
He said he had recommended
stopping passenger service at Lees
burg rather than Purcellville, a
point 10 miles further, because his
studies showed no great passenger
demand beyond Leesburg.
Mrs. Nellie Fletcher, Leesburg
property owner and active cam
: paigner for passenger service, OBJ
jected strenuously to the plan to end
passenger traffic at Leesburg. She
asserted there are sufficient pas
sengers between Leesburg and
Purcellville to warrant continual
ton of the service. Col. Ballantine
declared this would be shown from
actual practice.
When Col. Ballantine released his
report yeste. day, the conference was
attended by Milton E. Diehl, special
assistant to Joseph B. Eastman,
director of the ODT. Mr.. Diehl also
is Northern Virginia regional de-
fense transportation co-ordinator
and a member of the Arlington
County Public Utilities Commission.
Mr.. Diehl said it was the ODT's
policy not to intervene In such
matters unless the State and local
agencies having jurisdiction-in this
case the Social to solve the
problem. The ODT is cognizant of
problem in this area and would
intervene If it is not solved. At
present he is merely an observer, Ne
said.
Others present at the conference
were Frank Lyon of the Rabey Engi-
neering Corp, Mrs. Fletcher and Mr.
Brooks and Mr., Thomas OF the
Northern Virginia Committee for

Virginia S Postwar
Needs Stressed in
Talk by Gov. Darden
Strive for Balanced
Economy, He Tells
State Planning Board
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press. 80 -
RICHMOND, Va, Nov l3.-Gov.
Darden believes Virginia should
strive for balanced economy of
smaller, decentralized industries,
which would permit workers to have
land to which they could turn for
sustenance in times Of economic
troubles and depression.
He told the State Planning Board
yesterday that he didn't want to
see Virginia become "a great in
dustrial State with mass industries. ="
The drawbacks, he said, are too
great.
The ultimate happiness of the
people suffers" the Governor de-
clared, "if other States are a re-
liable example,
1t would be a mistake for the
State to attempt to absorb the
100000 or 100000 people who have
come into Virginia to work in war
time industries, Mr.. Darden said.
Its not a lack of hospitality" he
added. I'VE can't possibly take care
of them"
The Governor recommended that
postwar plans be held flexible and
simple, because until postwar ma
tional policies are clear it will be
difficult TO- map out definite pro-
fran.
The planning board named Ray
mor1u. v. Long. director of vocational
training for war production workers
as director of the board to succeed
Hugh R. Pomeroy, resigned.
Mr.. Long, member of the staff of
the State Department of Education
for % years, was granted a leave of
absence on March /, to take over
the vocational training program.
Mr.. Pomeroy will leave December
/, to become executive director of
the National Association of Housing

|nsanitary Building
Condemnation Bill
Passed by Senate
Process Is SimpIified;
Two District Measures
Go to House for Action

The Senate late yesterday passed
bill recommended by the Commits
sioners to simplify the process of
condemning insanitary buildings in
the District. At the same time, it
approved another measure making
a minor amendment to the law gov
erning the operation of co-opera-
tive associations in Washington.
Both bills now 60 to the House,
which has not yet acted on them.
They were called up by Senator
Burton, Republican, of Ohio and
passed by unanimous consent.
Under existing law when an order
is issued oy the Board for the Con-
demnation of Insanitary Buildings,
the property owner may ask the
District Court to appoint a special
board of survey to conduct
hearing.
Permits Direct Hearing.
Instead of having the court ap-
point a separate board in each case,
the pending bill provides that the
property owner may be heard by.
the Condemnation Board. The
owner would still have the right to
appeal to the courts if he felt the
board acted arbitrarily.
The bill also reduces from 20 to 10
days the time allowed the owner to
show cause, and reduces from 80 to
Is days the length of time the prop
erty may continue to be occupied
after service of notice of con-
demnation.
The bill also repeals a provision in
existing law that an insanitary
building cannot be repaired, but
must be demolished, if the cost of
the repairs exceeds so per cent of
the reproduction value of the build
ing. The Commissioners took the
view it was unreasonable to require
the razing of building if the owner
was willing to spend the amount
required to put it in proper condi-
ton.
Broadens Penalty Powers.
The bill further increases the
power of the Commissioners in fix
ing penalties of violations of build
ing regulations. In recommending
the measure, the Commissioners de-
scribed the present process for the
condemnation of insanitary build
ings as Unnecessarily cumbersome,
especially at this time, when housing
facilities are limited and tenants
find it difficult to move.
Senator Burton explained that the
other bill relating to cooperative as
sociations merely provides penalties
for failure of such associations to
obtain licenses to operate in the
District. The issuance of such IL
censes was authorized two years ago,
without a penalty clause.

BY WILL P. KENNEDY.

Prospects Of passing by unanimous
consent in the House Monday the
revised unemployment compensa-
tion bill, which is estimated to save
District employers upwards Of
IS 600, 900 Il year in payroll taxes
were announced last night by Chair.
man Dan r. McGehee of the sub.
committee which drafted this legis
lation.
Because the House intends to con.
slider little or no important meas
ures during the remainder of the
present Congress, Mr.. McGehee, with
the unanimous support of the Dis.
trict Committee, is endeavoring tt
get emergency action on this un.
employment compensation bill
which is of great importance tt
District employers, especially ir
view OF the present manpowe1
shortage.
II 1t passes the House Monday il
Will be rushed to the Senate fo1
concurrent action, so that it NAV
become law before the Christmas
holidays.
Provides Experience Ratings.
This new measure provides for
experience ratings, with employer
contributions ranging from 81 per
cent tax on payrolls to one-tenth
OF per cent, placing a premium on
steady employment and preventing
the accumulation of an unnecessar-
ny large surplus in the compensa-
ton fund, which already amounts
to upward of s3O,00O,0OO.
John A. Marshall, executive Off
Ger of the Unemployment Compen-
satlon Board, testified at hearings
that surplus of $4,000 900 would
be ample at all times to safeguard
benefit payments and that the pro-
posed scale should yield $4,000, 900
a year to keep the system self-sus-
tanning, and the fund would not be
impaired.
Under the experience rating svs-
tenn, maximum benefit payments
which are now $18 for 18 weeks will
be: increased to $40 for 20 weeks.
Pays Returned Soldiers,
The new legislation provides that
men i'm the armed forces are eligible
for benefits under this system after
they return from war service. 1t
prohibits payment of benefits to
any person unemployed on account
OF going out on strikes. It also pro-
vides that an unemployed person
cannot be forced to take employ
ment as a strikebreaker.
The McGehee Subcommittee made
a thorough study of Nation wide ex-
perience with regard to unemploy-
ment compensation, and conducted
extensive hearings, covering several
months.
The subcommittee late yesterday
authorized Mr.. McGehee to report
the bill favorably and seek prompt
passage. The full District Commit
tee was polled and supported the
recommendations of the subcom-
mittee.

Bombs 'Earmarked'
For Toxic, Raiders
Passed Up Carrier
1t. Mcclure, Navigator on
Historic Flight, Tells
Of Crash Landing

American bombers who raided
Japan could have destroyed an air
craft carrier and seriously damaged
the Emperor's Palace, but were un-
der instructions not to drop their
bombs except on specific objectives,
1t. c. L. Mcclure last night told
members of the Reciprocity Club at
the Mayflower Hotel.
Approaching Toxic at level from
10 to so feet, barely over treetops,
1t. Mcclure said they flew under
six Japanese pursuit ships which
failed to see them, due to the ex-
pertness with which their ship had
been camouaaged to blend with
the trees and land. After discharg-
ing their bombs along the water
front, 1t. Mcclure asserted his plane
outran six other Jap pursuit ships
as he headed for China, where a
crash landing was made.
Every member of the crew was
seriously injured except the rear
gunner. 1t. Mcclure dislocated
both shoulders. He was a patient
in Walter Reed Hospital here when
1t. Gen. Henry Arnold and Brig.
Gen. Doolittle decorated the Japan
raiders at Boiling Field ceremonies
here several months ago.
Planes Not Hit.
He added that "1n my opinion,
not a piece of Jap metal from anti
aircraft guns hit our planes"
He told of his squadron's early
training on the West Coast and
later over the Florida Gulf Coast
for their then unknown assignment.
when Gen. Doolittle, then Col.
Doolittle, walked into our squadron
room and told us he had danger
GUS mission ahead and that any one
was free to withdraw, we felt some
thing big was in the offing," he
stated.
Il remember seeing the expression
on the faces of people as we crossed
the Japanese coast" he said. Some
smiled, some waved at us, thinking
We were Jap planes AS we neared
Toxic We passed under six pursuit
ships. They did not see us. Every
building was clearly outlined. We
passed a railroad station, with
crowds standing on the platform.
They saw us, some waved, and later
they ran to cover when they identi-
fled us.
my work as navigator was fin
ished, so I took my movie camera
and began taking pictures. On our
starboard side, not 200 yards away,
lay an aircraft carrier. We could
have destroyed it easily, but each
bomb We carried was assigned for a
certain spot. I saw columns of smoke
rising in three or four different Sec
tlons OF Toxic. Anti-aircraft guns
found our range and some one said
Let's get out of here We left with
out mishap,"
Pilots Life Saved.
In fog and rain they crash land
ed in the Chinese interior.
1t. Mcclure praised the Chinese
people for their kindness and as
sistance as his party finally ended
long journey by reaching India.
President William Norwood pre-
sided. The speaker was introduced
by Arthur Clarendon Smith, past
president of the club.
