AS happened in World War i,
a new crop of major league ball
players will be developed and
trained during this war.
Without venturing guess as 10
how long il will take to win. II
does seem reasonably certain that
most of the 60-odd players who
have entered the service 10
date will not return to the ball
diamonds for quite spell. Stars
like Teller. Williams and Mullin
are mere youngsters.
Regrettably. some will be lost
like Greenberg. Campbell and
Mulcahy, but the scales will be
balanced in basebalrs favor. 1r
uniform today are many young
athletes who never realized that
some day they would receive the
expert coaching OF the Cochranes
and Greenbergs.
Before, perhaps. they had neither
the time nor the opportunity tc
play ball. but now everything is
at their disposal. Definitely. there
| Is more athletic activity during
service training than in the last
war, and the tempo will speed up
1918 EXAMPLE
In World War I, the submarine
base team at San Pedro. Cal.
made quite a record and furnishes
a striking example OF the develop
ment of young players. II had q
sprinkling of major leaguers.
II won 90 per cent of its games
The pennant-winning Los Angeles
club in the Coast League threw
a challenge which II regretted. for

One game was played at CamT
Fremont before 10000 soldiers
another at Mare Island with 20. 00f
sailors looking on. Interest on tho

this series. II certainly served II,
purpose as a morale builder. anC

Reynolds, United States commits
sioner Of public buildings, and Rep
resentative Randolph were here to-
day on their tour to survey possi-
biities Of moving some non-defense
workers from Washington to this
area to make room for war workers
in the Capital.
Following a scheduled meeting
with business and civic leaders, they
will continue on to Arthurdale,
where Mrs. Roosevelt and Mr..
Randolph will speak tonight.
At q gathering Of more than 200
persons at the Shenandoah Hotel
In Martinsburg, Mr.. Reynolds said
this area had q particular appeal
In the decentralization program be-
cause Of Its proximity to Wash
ington.
Reynolds Impressed.
After q two-hour tour Of the
city's facilities, Mr.. Reynolds said
he was particularly impressed with
the housing facilities and Mr..
Randolph assured him that Martins
burg could care for from 800 to
300 Of the workers well. A 100
unit low cost housing project has
just been completed here.
Mr.. Reynolds said that probably
$4,000 more workers would be added
to the 12,000 already moved from
Washington. At present, the Gov
ernment is investigating the posi-
bility Of shifting small groups of
from 200 to 400 workers from some
departments, without disloca ting
large sections, he said.
Asked whether the move would be
permanent, Mr.. Reynolds replied
that this depended on the efficiency
with which the shifted agency was
working and on the community life
the workers were enjoying.
Cheaper Living Cited.
Mr.. Randolph pointed out that
living costs in Martinsburg were far
less than in Washington, mentioning
specifically that rents were so per
cent less.
1T seems the part Of good judg-
ment to me that employees should
be moved to the smaller communi-
ties rather than big cities that are
already overcrowded, such as New
York, Chicago and Philadelphia,
Mr.. Randolph said.
Two Washington men were guests
at the meeting yesterday. They
were Taylor Chewing, president OF
the United Clay Products Co, which
has several brick and tile plants In
Martinsburg, and Arthur C. Hyde,
operator Of Congressional Airport,
who Is surveying possibilities of

One Municipal Unit

Of County Urged
Suggestion by Duekett
Draws Prince Georges
Federation Applause

T. Howard Duckett, Hyattsville
Md attorney, last night told the
Prince Georges County Federation
Of Civic Associations that the metro
politan area of the county has
reached a stage of development
which requires organization Of the
area into one municipal unit.
Mr.. Duckett's remarks as TO the
inadequacy of the present setup
drew burst OF applause from his
audience of 40 federation delegates.
Discussing. the operation Of the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission and the Maryland Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission, he had been asked by
William G. Copley of Silver Hill,
federation vice president. to explain
where responsibility lies for the care
of streets in subdivision areas not
under the jurisdiction Of the Park
and Planning Commission.
Mr.. Duckett. q former member Of
the commission, replied that under
the present setup, owners of prop
erty abutting on such streets are
alone responsible.
Cites Variety Of Areas.
That is lame answer" he said,
but it is nevertheless a fact. The
truth is that with the situation Is
1t is today, where we have incor.
porated towns. special taxing areas,
unincorporated towns, un-special
taxing areas and 50 on, we have
reached a point where nobody really
is able to keep track of what is
what.
I'VE ought to abolish the whole
business-get decent county man.
ager and put the whole Metropolitan
Area under one man."
Mr.. Duckett added that he had no
criticism for those doing their best
to administer the present unwieldy
organization.
THE towns have done a good Job"
he said, but they have served their
purpose. We are getting too big
now"
Traces County's Growth. :
In his address, one of q series de-
signed to acquaint federation men,
bers with the workings of the various
branches Of the county government,
Mr.. Duckett traced the growth of
the county with particular regard to
the work Of the Sanitary Commis-
sion and the Park and Planning
Commission. The Metropolitan Area
Of the county, he told his hearers.
is today city in the true sense Of
the word.
Earlier the federation reopened
for discussion the question Of MAIN
tanning adequate stalls In county
schools through pay increases or
bonuses for teachers. A resolution
prepared by DR.. r. c. Wiley Of Col
lege Park, chairman Of the Com
mittee on Education, calling for ade-
quate compensation for teachers to
Offset the present high cost Of living,
was unanimously adopted.
The meeting was held at the Bla-

By a Staff Correspondent Of The star.
RICHMOND, Feb. 6.-Fair rent
committees with legal authority tc
back up their findings with prose
cutions would be permitted under
terms of legislation now before the
Senate General Assembly, Delegate
o. E. McCue of Charlottesville ex-
planned today.
Mr.. McCue's defense bill, as passed
by the House and sent to the Senate
Wednesday. carries an amendment
authorizing the Governor to issue
rules and regulations having the
force and effect of law.
Revises Previous Measures.
The bill. which revises two pre-
vious civilian defense measures to
which objections were raised, may
provide relief for a problem faced
by Arlington County's Fair Rent
Committee of the Northern Virginia
Regional Defense Council.
I. Chance Buchanan, chairman OF
the Arlington committee, has an
nounced that because of lack of legal
authority to enforce its rulings that
group would have to resort to public
opinion to bring about compliance
with suggested reductions where
high rentals are found to exist.
Mr.. McCue, when asked about this
feature Of the bill. said the amend
ment giving the Governor power to
issue regulations having legal status
would permit the functioning Of fair
rent committees with authority to
back up their orders.
May Require Certifying.
The Charlottesville Delegate was
not able to give details of the me-
chanics Of fair rent committee oper-
ton under the proposed new law.
Because the Governor would be
empowered to issue the rules and
regulations having the force and
effect of law, Mr.. McCue said 1t
may be necessary for fair rent COM
mittees to certify their findings to
the Governor before rent adjust
ments could be ordered. The Gov
ernor then could order reductions
However, he added, 1t may be pos
sible for the rent committees to be
given blanket power to enforce their
findings.
