were German anti-tank mines, used
as BOBBY traps. From the Egyptian
border to Tunisia the Afrika Korps
delayed British advances through
laying of mines. The BOBBY trap,
buried in sand, has an igniter on its
base. This explodes as the mine is
being removed.
That means that engineers and
demolition crews must precede in
fantry and tanks.
Guns Use Described.
Describing the German S8-mm.
gun, an officer said:
This gun is primarily an anti
aircraft gun. But the Germans
introduced the element of surprise
by using it as an anti-tank weapon.
They used it with some success
against the French where it's high
muzzle velocity penetrated the
armor of the Maginot Line forti-
fications and jammed the revolving
cupolas. 1t can be seen how the
Germans drew the conclusion it
would be a good weapon against
tanks. In the African desert the
gun was emplaced in the sand and
blasted Allied tanks from short
range. The United States Comm.
anti-aircraft gun. is also a dual
purpose gun but fires a heavier pro-
jectile greater range"
An amusing incident occurred
when a major believed a reporter
was about to cross a line of fire.
Keep out of line of those guns .
the major barked. "If some one
accidentally got shot I'd have to

Federal Funds Sought
By Prince Georges
To Build School
New Facilities Required
To Meet Influx Expected
From 500 ADA Homes

Nicholas Orem, superintendent of
Prince Georges County schools, to-
day prepared to apply for Federal
funds to construct school to care
for the expected influx of children
from the 500 homes now under con-
struction by the Alley Dwelling Au-
thority on the Calvert estate Just
outside Riverdale.
The County School Board yester-
day instructed Mr.. Orem to insist
that the Government provide the
necessary school facilities after Mr.
O1em pointed out that the Univer-
sity Park and Riverdale Schools are
full.
He added that the approach to
these two schools from the ADA
homes is hazardous, since children
would be forced to cross the heavily
travelled Baltimore boulevard.
At present, the University Park
School is so crowded that classes
are being held in the basement, Mr.
Orem declared. He said application
already has been made to the Office
of Education for a certificate of
necessity and it is believed that
favorable action will be taken.
If the necessary funds are OBJ
tanned, he explained. the Govern
ment will be asked to start construc-
ton of the school Immediately and
turn it over to the county for op-
Grafton.
While the amount granted will de-
pend on priorities granted by the
War Production board, Mr.. Orem
said the school should be large
enough to care for at least 300 chill

Portions Of Charter
For Montgomery
Held Undemocratic
Discrimination Charged
Against Teachers
Employed by County

Charges that portions of the pro-
posed charter for Montgomery
County are undemocratic were made
last night by Mrs. Genevieve H.
Wells, county member of the Mary
land House of Delegates, in a talk
before the semi-annual meeting of
the County Women's Democratic
Club at Jesup Blair Community
House, Silver Spring.
One OF the provisions, she said,
permits Federal Government en-
ployes, District of Columbia school
teachers and even persons teaching
school in Arlington County, if they
happen to reside in Montgomery
County, to run for election as a
member of the Council and if
elected, to serve while still holding
their positions elsewhere, but pro-
hibits the same privilege to our
Montgomery County school teachers,
who know our people and our
problems.
1T also bars State, county and
municipal employees, even Mayors
and town clerks of our towns and
special taxing areas. Is that fair or
sensible? To me, it smacks of the
publicity hounds who constitute a
large part of our civic minded
population"

Applications Of Tenants
Being Accepted at

The first two homes in the Wash
ington area to be converted into
apartments for war workers under
the National Housing Agency's pro-
gram of converting large private
homes into smaller apartments were
open for inspection today.

is owned by Brig. Gen. and Mrs.

Gated at 908 Cameron street, Alex
andria.

M street NV. and contains three
apartments. Applications for these
apartments are being cleared
through the War Housing Center at
Pennsylvania avenue and Four
teenth street NV.
Says House Benefited.
According to Gen. Major, the Ma
tional Housing Agency's program
not only affords property owners
the opportunity to contribute to the
war effort but also offers both the
Government and the owner an ex-
cellent business proposition.
Inspecting the house yesterday,
Gen. Major said that the alterations
done under the supervision of the
Home Owners Loan Corp. not only
made the house a more valuable
piece of property, but added to its
life by the addition of new plumbing
and other changes.
Mrs. Major asserted that while the
house could have been rented in its
former condition, it's value was in
creased by work for which a private
owner could not have obtained
priorities.

dria was attended by MIA and city
officials. Members of the Alexandria
War Housing Center Advisory Com
mittee served as hosts.

live in the Cameron street house.
One of the apartments has been
furnished for display by a Washing
ton furniture house, and will be open
for inspection for the next 10 days.

ments, consisting of a living room,

rooms, will be $3.50 to $65, including

and water.
