other firm.
Both the Army War College,
where discharged soldiers can get
their buttons free, and the stores
require veterans to show their hon.
orable discharge papers. But here's
the difference:
The Army stamps the discharge
papers--"one lapel button issued . ;"
A record is also kept of the trans
action. Some stores take down the
veterans name, address and serial
number. Others just glance at the
discharge papers and make the sale.
None of the stores stamp the dis
charge papers.
For those who want what the
armed forces intended them to get,
the Army outlets are the War Col
lege and Fort Myer, Va. Navy vet
Grams can get their lapel buttons at
naval training stations, hospitals or
receiving stations or by writing to
the Bureau of Naval Personnel, in
closing the original discharge papers
or, in the case of officers, the orig
inal and one certified copy of the
orders placing them on inactive

Perhaps he became too enthusias-
tic as he clambered onto the trunk
for more realistic portrayal of
aerial warfare. Whatever happened,
he lost his balance yesterday and fell
against the screened window. The
screen gave way and Stewart
plunged 20 feet to the brick pave
ment below. When found by his
mother, Mrs. Glover Rae, he was still
clutching toy plane.
Emergency Hospital doctors re-
port Stewart is in a critical condi-
ton, with a skull fracture and in
juries to his right arm, leg and side.
There's an ironic footnote to the
story. When his parents returned
home last night from the hospital,
they left in their car small bundle
containing the boys clothes. The
bundle was gone this morning. A
thief had forced open the door dur
ing the night and removed the

Planners Oppose
Rezoning Petitions

The Maryland-N National Capital
Park and Planning Commission yes
terday adopted resolutions recon-
mending that the District Zoning
Council. which meets today, deny
five petitions asking Redistribution
Of land in the western suburban
area OF Montgomery County and ap-
prove two applications for rezoning
in the eastern suburban area.
The resolution referring to two
petitions OF Morrison Bros. ask
ing the reclassification of residen-
tial A property to residential C and
commercial D zones, points out that
parcels covered by both petitions
are located at the present entrance
gateway pillars to the community
Of Edgemoor as entered by way Of
Edgemoor lane from Wisconsin ave-
nue..
In asking for denial of the petit
tions the commission states that
these parcels are in buffer or transi.
ton areas and their ultimate land
use deserves and requires careful
study of community wide nature.
A petition Of Charles F. Miller for
reclassification from residential A
to commercial D of property facing
Edgemoor was also recommended
for denial for the same reason.
In the resolution requesting de-
nial Of another petition of Mr.. Mil
ler's asking for rezoning from resi-
dental A to commercial D of a
large tract of property south Of
Bradley boulevard. the commission
states that the possible effects of
the rezoning in this location are too
great to permit Endorsement of the
rezoning until the master plan for
the section can be studied and
adopted.
The group also recommended de-
nial of the application of Charles
S. and Mary Moore for reclassifica-
ton from residential A to CONNER
cial D zone of property on the north
side OF Walsh street, Chevy Chase.
Applications recommended for
approval include that of Blair Man
agement Corp, for rezoning to in
dustrial E, land on the northeast
side of East-West highway in Sill
yer Spring and of Mr.. and Mrs.
Marshall Lehman for reclassifica-
tion to industrial of property near

School Board 10 Seek
80 Pct. Cut in Cost
Of Nursery Direction
Expected to Consider
Economy Proposals
Next Wednesday

The Board of Education next
Wednesday Is expected to consider
the first of many changes proposed
by the Nursery School Advisory
Committee to cut the administra-
tive cost of public nursery schools
by at least 80 per cent.
The schools, heretofore admins
tered by separate office under the
Commissioners, were placed under
control of the board yesterday.
Although plans for cutting costs
will not be officially revealed until the
board meeting Wednesday, it is un-
derstood they include abolition of
the present plan allowing an admin
istrator for the care Of children over
5 years Of age and one for those
under S.
An administrator for all phases of
the day-care program is expected to
be provided for both white and COL
ored schools, and the position of
central administrator to procure
equipment and handle financial ac-
counts is expected to be retained.
Miss Dorothy D. Pearse has been
serving in this capacity under the
Commissioners.
The foster Gay program" counsel
ing and placing service maintained
for mothers of children under 2
years of age, will not be placed under
control of the Board of Educat ton,
due to legal complication. Instead,
it will be continued as a separate
service, supported aby the Com
munity War Fund, under the ad-
ministration of the Committee on
Services to Children of Working
Mothers.
For the $50 children so far reg
istsred in the day care program the
change in administration will make
little difference. They still will at
tend the nursery school in the same
location, get hot lunch at noon
and be supervised by trained per-
sonnel.
For those expected to register
later, however. the new system will
be much more convenient Now
each child can register. at the GEN.
ter he expects to attend.
Removal of offices of the nursery
school program to the Franklin
School Building and centralizing
control under Supt. of School Hay
cock is expected to speed up OPEN
ing OF 10 more centers, which were
to have been opened last summer.
The administrative system, it was
explained, has been one of the
major reasons for the slow progress
made SO far-only II centers opened
in seven months operation.
Another administrative saving be-
ing considered, it was learned, Is
abolition Of separate positions of
nutritionist and nurse for the
nursery schools, with their duties
to be performed by experts already
employed by the school system. The
program still will be paid for en-
tirely, however, from Lanham Act
funds from the Federal Works
Agency.

Discarded YuIe Trees
At City Dump Offered
For Use as Firewood
House Members Letter
Condemnine Burning
Suggested Plan
Burning of unused Christmas trees

Burning Of unused Christmas trees
in the District was condemned by
Representative Hagen. Farmer
Labor, Minnesota, in letter today
to William A. Xanten, head of the
city's refuse division.
Mr.. Hagen, after reading in The
Star that some $4,000 trees would be
disposed of within the next week or
10 days at the city dump, suggested
that they be made available to the
public for firewood. He said persons
interested could trim the branches
and cut the trunks into the proper
size to fit their fireplaces and stoves
The branches could be left at the
dump.
I'm normal times this would be
inconsequential," Mr.. Hagen said
but in view OF the fuel shortage
and scarcity of wood I believe the
public could help itself and help the
war effort by using those trees for
flrewood. Several hundred trees
would supply family with enough
wood for the winter"
Mr.. Hagen pointed out that the
wood shortage is so acute in his
home State it is being imported
rather than exported. Christmas
trees would make excellent burning
wood after being dried out in homes
during the holiday period, he added
Mr.. Xanten said he anticipated
such request and said the public
was welcome to all the trees it de-
sired. No more trees will be de-
stroyed until Saturday or Monday
he said, and, in the meantime, any.
body caring to trim the trees for
f1rewood are welcome to all they
can handle
Mr.. Xanten pointed out that
trees still lying around on market
and neighborhood lots undoubtedly
would be given to anybody asking
for them.
