May Get Chance in Movies
GoIdwyn Norrows Search to Is
From TotoI Of lib Applicants

The other six, who could not be
located by their names alone, were
Misses Irene Gerz, Emily Ganett,
Sue Dell Mohon. Beatrice Strauss.

Their photographs, according to
the seven interviewed, got to Holly

here year ago.
Don't Know Sponsors.
Miss Stadner, resident of Scran-
ton, Pa. till last January, and
Miss Emhree, who came a year ago
from Marceline, Mo-, still don't
know who sent in their names and
photographs.
An enthusiastic friend in her
home town of Dallas, Tex, sent in
a photograph of Miss Elliott after
she came here in April. He didn't
tell her so till this week. however.
Miss Marks hcme folks in At
lantic City sent news story en-
the contest to her here. She has
worked in Washington about three
years. She mailed a snapshot taken
on the boardwalk of the Jersey re-
sort some time ago.
Miss Shyosky sent a picture pub
lished of her little more than two
weeks ago in a local paper. She
tore the photograph out of the pa

Miss Alice Shyosky, 10, who also
works in the Office of Representa-

of Glassport, Pa. near Pittsburgh.
Miss Vallancey of Glendive, Mont,
has few ideas of what ought to be
in the movie If she is chosen as an
actress in it. A student of model
ling, she has already been accepted
as a Powers model, but has been
unable to make up her mind to go
to New York. She came here
year ago from Portland, Greg, and
mailed her picture few weeks ago.
The movie ought to include long
lines waiting for everything, says
Miss Vallancey. Waiting for buses
and food, and sitting on steps of
boarding houses weary after
search for room.
All seven of the girls expressed
anxiety to see The Stars story to-
day. They want to see what their
rivals look like.

Lee Boulevard
Project Pushed
By |h|der
Says ADA Seeks to
Abide by County's
Zonine Regulations

Replying to the Arlington Coun-
ty Boards protest of the Alley
Dwelling Authority plan to erect 288
family units on Lee boulevard, John
Ihlder. head of ADA, asserted yes
terday the Authority is seeking to
conform to local laws in the con-
struction of homes in the county.
The board earlier protested vigor-
ously the project to build low-cost
defense homes on the boulevard be-
tween Pershing drive and North
Fillmore street on the ground it
would seriously threaten the coun-
tvs zoning ordinances
Mr.. Ihl6er admitted. however,
that the ADA was going ahead with
negotiations to acquire the prop
erty which lies near Fort Myer A
portion of the site had been occu-
pied until this week By the War
Department.
Would Be Temporary.
Mr. Ihlder claimed that the homes
would be only temporary, to house
war workers for the duration, and
that they would be dismantled after
the war.
County Planning Engineer Frank
L. Deter told the board that the
proposed frame structures would not
conform to the county building code
and in addition would be subject to
rapid deterioration"
Mr.. Ihlder said ADA was study
Ing the county's zoning ordinances
and that he did not want to do any
thing that would adversely affect
those laws.
Asserting he was in entire SYM
pathy with the boards position, Mr.
Ihlder said: We are we'll aware of
their long and hard fight to keep
row houses out of the area. but We
do have to explore all possibilities
so as to make war housing as eco
nomic as possible"
Other Sites Suggested.
He said that the authority was
studying several sites suggested by
the county planning engineer as
alternatives to the Lee boulevard
project.
Mr.. Deter reported yesterday that
a number of other places within
walking distance of the new Army
and Navy Buildings in Arlington
has been suggested to ADA.
Following Mr.. Deiters report the
board unanimously voted to oppose
the project while there are still
other and better places for such
homes to be built" Board Chair
man Edmund D. Campbell said the
board intended to cooperate fully
with the Government in finding sites
for homes, but that they could not
"countenance these homes on the
boulevard"
Other action taken by the board
included approval of an additional
$4,000 for further improvement of
the county dog pound and for ex-
pansion of facilities for taking up
unlicensed dogs.

TO regulate the collection of refuse
