Missionary Asso. Enters
Field Of Race Relations

CHICAGO-(ANP) - The Ameri-
can Missionary association an
nouncement that IL viii specialize
in the field OF race relations 10 the
extent OF keeping static or reducing
its present school policy and divert
ing its vast funds into the rather
nebu.ous field of race relations poses
most !nsistent question 10 those
interested in the development and
advancement OF the American
Negro. The character as stated by
the executive committee is;
That the American Missionary
association division concentrate It's
attention on the field OF race rela-
tons. particularly in the Negro
white area; and tha:. as funds be-
come available. the association de-
ve,op a unconstitutional type OF
pioneering work which would send

rious communities TO work by such
methods as the local situation shall
suggest and make possible"
This is another combination
worked out in connection with
vested interests" particularly the
Rosenwald Fund mad Fisk univer-
sity, a great concentration OF money,
experience and contacts. The change
of emphasis is so revolutionary that
it is viewed with misgivings IN many
quarters.
The ANA. was definitely not a
planned organization. It was direct
response to a dire human need. the
Amistad incident; the necessity for
protecting these freed slaves. edI-
eating them. sending them back TO
their native country. Subsequently
it was found that one could not
stop with merely rehabilitating and
repatriating these Africans but that
there were many tasks remaining
yet TO be done-a rever-ending
chain OF new responsibilities The
program OF the ANA has been
simply this: wherever there is a

Hearing on ". D
Passenger Service
Called for July 8
Loss Of 81, 500 Since
March n Claimed in
Railways Petition
By the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, June 3.-The oft
considered question of passenger
service by the Washington and Old
Dominion Railroad between Rosslyn
and Leesburg will come up for a
further hearing July on a petition
asking authority to discontinue the
present round trip daily.
The railway. in its petition yester-
day to The State Corporation Com
mission, said the service had created
a $500 deficit since 1t was inaugu-
rated March o. On two days, the
railroad reported, the receipts were
less than the rental fee of S25 on the
equipment, and only on eight days
all Saturday-Were receipts suf-
flcient TO cover daily running ex-
penses.
The statement contended the "op-
GRAFTON of the train is accomplish
ing little, if anything, toward the
successful prosecution of the war"
because of the lack of public support
and the heavy consumption of gaso-
line by the train
The service was resumed in March
for trial period under an order by
the Corporation Commission. Rail-
way officials had expressed a will
ingness to undertake the service on
a trial basis if equipment could be
obtained. Later the line succeeded
in obtaining equipment from the
Pennsylvania Railroad.
The service is now being furnished
under a certificate which expires
June 81.

Case Of Tick Fever
Found in Alexandra
Residents Warned to
Take Precautions

A case Of Rocky Mountain fever
commonly known as tick fever, has
been reported in Alexandria, accord
ing to DR.. w. A. Browne, health
officer, who issued warning to
residents to take precautions against
tick bites
DR.. Browne said that only one
case OF the fever was reported last
season. and he felt that the ap-
pearance Of the disease so early this
year indicates the need for great
care in avoiding contact with ticks
The health officer said that ticks
are most commonly found in weeds
and low shrubbery and that private
property should be cleared wherever
possible.
If tick becomes attached to the
body, DR.. Browne said. it should be
removed with pair of tweezers,
first covering the hands with heavy
gloves. The spot should be dis
infected at once and the tick burned
DR.. Browne advised the use of
smooth-textured clothing for per-
sons or children who must go in
tlck-frequented areas, and further
suggested that residents examine
their children and pets frequently
especially if they spend a great deal
OF time in wooded or weedy areas.

Alexandria 10 Stiff
Gas Applications
Suspicious Statements
Will Be Investigated

Volunteer workers at the Alex
andria Ration Board are starting
today to make careful check OF
the gasoline application files to de-
| termine if there are any persons
who have obtained supplemental
gasoline for occupational mileage
and have at the same time signed
other persons applications as pas
sengers.
J. S. Douglas, executive secretary
of the board, said he believes that
several such cases will be brought
to light, and investigations will be
made in cases where it appears that
B or G books have been obtained
under false pretenses.
Mr.. Douglas said he originally had
intended to use the volunteers to get
started on the fuel oil rationing
program in order to avoid a last
minute rush, but the State Office
sent the board envelopes which do
not correspond with the size called
for and have failed to provide the
board with the necessary forms.
The Alexandria, Arlington and
Fairfax boards will meet in Airing
ton June 8 to discuss the fuel oil
rationing program.
At its meeting Tuesday the board
decided it was not within it's province
to attempt to designate gasoline
dealers for the exclusive use of
doctors or to deal with complaints
OF discrimination by gas stations,
and it has suggested to service sta
ton owners that they form some
gasoline distribution plan of their
own, going to the State Office of
Price Administration for advice or
approval.
