transferred immediately to the Enlisted Reserve Corps and will be given an order to proceed to the city in which his local board is located.
 "(b) At the same time an order will be issued recalling him to active service on a certain date and order ing him to proceed on that date from the city in which the local board is located to a designated induction center for duty. The normal period between transfer to the enlisted Reserve Corps and re- call to active service will be four teen days. This period may be ex- tended or shortened by not to ex- ceed two days in order to meet processing scheduled at Reception Centers, or to prevent Sunday travel"
 Discussing the elimination of ir1- justices, the director said:
 Many of the disadvantages of the present system will be elim- mated in the new procedure. Every man who wishes to return to his home will be given the opportunity to do SO without being required to establish his reasons for returning. Investigation and recommendation by the local board is no longer nec- essary. Reservists are released from active service at the induction sta- tion instead of the Reception Gen. ter. They travel at Government ex- pense in local board groups under an appointed leader"
 Delay Eliminated
 Another feature of the present system which will be eliminated by the new procedure, the director said, will be possible delay between the time man is inducted and the time he is granted furlough. Un- der the new procedure, the transfer to the Enlisted Reserve Corps will occur on the same day that the man is inducted and there is no likelihood that he will have to wait two to five days before he can re- turn to his home as sometimes happens under thS present system.
 Local boards will cooperate with the armed forces in every possible way by providing a place of assem- bly, for the departing reservists, by arranging transportation facilities and by taking care of other neces- sary details such as advising the Commanding Officer of the Recep- ton Center of the route and time of departure of groups of reservists. and the number of men in contin- gents, the director said.

FOUNDRY WORKER LABOR VIOLATOR
James Mason, $6O=Week= Man, Pays Boys 50 Cents
 Nightly to Do His Task

James Mason, AT, colored, of IA Lafayette street, an employe of the Waterbury Foundry was given continuance until tomorrow in mu- nicipal court today on charges of violating the state labor law. Mason is charged with hiring boys under 16 years of age to work nights on job for which he was paid as high as $50 to $80 weekly. The boys were paid fifty cents night, according to Leo Alix of Meriden, state fac- tory inspector.
 Alix said the practice is wide spread throughout the valley. Pros. William K. Lawlor, who issued the warrant for the arrest of Mason said he had received no request for a warrant for arrest of officials of the firm. He said they apparent ly knew nothing of the practice.

service and none will be rejected. The men will be sent to Hartford and given physical tests. Those accepted will be given two-week furlough and sent back to their home towns. On an assigned date they will leave in a group for re- ception centers.
 Said Captain Averill:
 No Embarrassment
 Since all of the men assembling at the local board office after a furlough period have been accepted for military service and ordered to active duty, none will be faced with the embarrassment of returning home as rejected following such ceremonies. The local communi- ties also can make their plans for these going away demonstrations with definite knowledge that the men are going into active service, which was not possible under the former procedure when group de- partures of selectees were for the purpose of induction depending upon passing the Army physical ex- animation"
 Under the new plan the names of men to be inducted will not be made public until after they have appeared before the Army Exarnin- ing Board in Hartford and have been accepted or rejected. The local boards will make public the names of the accepted men when the date for their induction for duty is an- nounced. This will eliminate much Of the embarrassment to men at- tending farewell parties and receiv- ing gifts only to be rejected for physical disabilities upon arrival at the induction station.
 The new arrangement replaces the present. system of granting in- ductGes ten-day furloughs upon request and Is expected to elini- nate any injustices which might occur to men inducted immediately following physical examination by the Army, the director said, although every attempt has been made to grant ten-day furloughs upon re- quest, there have been some in stances when such requests were denied and in other cases inductees were unable to pay their transpor- tatiola to return home. AS the new system calls for the immediate re- lease of all men who wish to go home and payment of the costs of their travel by the Army, the director asserted there would be no discrim- ination against any inductee. He said:
 Transportation Expense
 "TEe Army will furnish trans portation, meals and lodging of such reservist en route to the city In which the local board is located and from that point to the Recep- ton Center.
 "There will be no change in the present procedure for delivery of registrants to the induction station by the local boardp or for the re- turn of rejected men to the local board area from the induction sta ton. Inducted men who do not desire to return to their homes will be forwarded direct from the in- duction station to the Reception Center.
 "In the case of inducted men who do desire to return to their homes the following procedure will be fol- lowed at the induction station:

Permit Is Revoked
For Cotton House.
In Alta Vista
Commissioners Hold
Structure Does Not
Meet Building Code
By a Staff Correspondent of The Star.

BY Staff Correspondent OF The Star.
ROCKVILLE. Md. Jan. 28.-The
controversy over erection Of a cot
ton house" in Alta, Vista appeared
settled today following the revoca-
ton by the County Commissioners
yesterday of a building permit for
the structure.
Vigorous protests by residents OF
the area against erection of the
dwelling had been made at hear
ing before the commissioners De-
cember II. In their decision yes
terday the commissioners said the
building does not comply with the
county building code.
Mrs. Ola Powell Malcolm, senior
home economist of the Department
of Agriculture Extension Service,
had obtained the permit last Sep
tember q to erect the house on a
lot in the $500 block of Oakmont
avenue, adjoining her own home at
SSH Oak place, Alta Vista.
The commissioners appropriated
$1,000 for the remodeling of the old
NSllOOl III oAfCl opl W
house the Silver Spring Health Gen.
ter following a recommendation by
DR.. v. L. Ellicott, county health
officer.
Winship Green and Byron Sedg-
wick, members of the Board of
Managers of the health center, said
that the cost of remodeling the
building would total about $4,000.
They said $1,000 of this amount has
already been raised.
The clinics at the center will be
operated by the Health Depart
Ment in cooperation with the Sill

mittee, headed by Mrs. A. o. Den
ham.

Prince Georges Board
To Compile List for
Postwar Projects
Commissioners Asked to
Drow Up Plans for as
Many os Feasible

The commissioners Of Prince
Georges County, Md. yesterday
agreed to provide the Public Work
Reserve and the National Resources
Planning Board with lists of prof.
ects which may be undertaken in
the county after the war.
Looking ahead to the day when
action may be necessary to cushion
the shock of postwar def1ation, the
commissioners discussed the coun-
tvs problem with Martin F. Kunkel,
area planning engineer for Public
Work Reserve. who requested that
the commissioners compile three
lists. showing:
Cd. Public works projects which.
under normal conditions, would be
undertaken in the county within the
next six wears.
20. Projects which the county
might be inclined to undertake with
the assurance of Federal aid.
90. Projects which are "fanciful,'
the result of wishful thinking.
Asks Plans Be Drawn.
Mr.. Kunkel explained that the
Government wishes to have on hand
stock pile" of projects on which
1t may draw If the necessity arises.
He asked the commissioners to pro-
vide plans and specifications for as
many of the listed items as possible,
and to appoint co-ordinating COM
mittee to study the problem further
in conjunction with the P. w. R.
1t was pointed out that a plan
to postpone until after the war
issuance of $5OO,000 in metropolitan
district general improvement bonds
would not only enable the county
to "get its moneys worth" but
would also help the county to carry
out the necessary postwar economic
adjustment. The commissioners ex-
pressed themselves last week as
favoring such postponement. The
bonds originally were scheduled for
issuance this year.
Approve Rezoning Requests.
The commissioners approved three
petitions for rezoning at yesterdays
meeting. as follows:
College Park Homes, r. M. Wat
kins, owner. for rezoning of six
and one-half lots in block 6 Of
the proposed College Park Homes
subdivision, College Park, from resi-
Dental A to residential c. This
request was embodied in two petit
tions.
College Park Homes, r. M. Wat
kins, owner, for the rezoning of
parcel "A" and lot II in block 6 Of
the proposed College Park Homes
subdivision, College Park, from resi-
Dental A to commercial D.
The board acted favorably on a
petition of Thomas j. Ashe and
Martha r. Ashe for purchase from
the county of three lots in block 81.
section 8, Cheverly. The property
came to the county at a tax sale
in 1888. The approved purchase
price was 500.

valves they had stolen.
One of the boys was kneeling
over a front tire of a car, pressing
the valve, when police caught him,
Sergt Butler said.
Both boys were jailed. but Sergt.
Butler doubted they could be pun
ished under the law with more than
a reprimand.
