School Board Asks
Alexandra Council
To Buy Playground
Also Urges Reservation
Of City-Owned Troct
For Elementary BuiIdino

The Alexandria School Board has
requested the City Council to pur-
chase one tract of land for a play
ground and to reserve another city
owned tract as site for an addi-
tional elementary school.
Acting on recommendation of
the Washington School Parent
Teacher Association. the board re-
quested the Council to purchase the
remainder of square of ground
at South Washington and Wolfe
streets to be used as a school play
ground A playground is now located
on part of the square.
Looking toward postwar planning
the board also requested the Coun-
Gil to reserve three squares of city
owned property on Montgomery
street. bounded by Fairfax and st.
Asaph streets. to be used for an ele-
mentary school building. 1t was
pointed out that recent construction
af apartment houses on North
Washington street will create need
for the additional school in the vi
cinity.
The board ruled that, effective
September. 1914, members of the
George Washington High School Ca
det Crps will be required to wear
uniforms while on corps duty. On
that date the present school uniform
will become official.
Other action taken by the board
was to award the contract for con-
struction of nursery school for
colored children to the Nuchols Co.,
Richmond. The school will be con-
structed on city property at Queen
and Fayette streets at cost of
S12,850. The Federal Works Agency
has allocated $4,000 for the project,
and the city will make up the diff
ference.
The board also voted to take out
insurance on the two new FWA
schools. the Douglas Macarthur and
the Charles D. Barrett, now being
operated by the Alexandria Board
of Education.
A letter of appreciation also was
sent to the council thanking it tor
cooperation in recent meetings with
the board during which the 1914
school budget was discussed and ap-
proved,

 During the last war he points out, the ration was five to one Today the ration is such em- ployee to every two and one-haf soldiers. And the number is increasing. Since July 1889, the Fed eral Government has increased the number of it's new employees almost 50 percent every six months!
 In every state Federal employees far outnumber state employees Ohio has 25,OOO state employees while the Federal Government in that state has 9o00O In Massachusetts there are 1000 state em- ployees and l2900O Federal In Pennsylvania 44,500 for the state 215O0O for the Federal In little Wyo- ming the state shows HOO persons on the payroll and the Federal Government employs 62OO
 We don't know what the number would be for Alaska.
 Senator Byrd points out that the bureauracy is not responsible to the people, doesn't answer for its acts at the polls wastes money flaunts the will of the peoples elected representatives.
 What we have now isn't just larger form of government but different form. It is no longer a government of three co-equa groups-egislative, ex ecutve and judicial. The check and balance is off balance The executive branch has grown into a bureaucratic ruling group of red tape and drectves Combined total cost to the nation this year of legis lative and judicial branches $38,OOO0OO The executive spent that much in publicity and promo ton, alone.

Friendship between Gen. Eisen- hover and Gen. Marshall dates back to World War I when Mar shall was the chief strategist fol Gen. Pershing and planned troop transfer and strategy behind the St. Mihiel front
 Eisenhower, somewhat younger has always worshipped Marshall as the greatest military genius of oul time. When Marshall picked his younger friend for the North Afri. can assignment, he did not tel him what was cooking, but called him in and laid before him plar of operation for taking North Ali rica. ,,S

BYRD TALKS SENSE

good Democrat-theref are good ones and the other kind-Senator Harry F. Byrd, in recent ar ticle in the New York World-Telegram points out the increasing danger of the of bureaucracy on the Government of the United States.
 The grasping of the national admnistra- tion already has urSurped the rights of state gov ernment beyond all reason and aren't satisfied yet.
 Under the constitutional form of Government our form of government-the various states are inte gra units with residual powers and responsibilities necessary to the maintenance of forms to which we are pledged and throughout the years have proved adequate and safe.
 But within the last decade many of these powers have been stripped from the divisions of government to which they inherently belonged and have been transferred to the nations capital.
 In Washington today there seems to be faint protest verging awakening-but unless the real awakening comes the very structure which our Government is founded will be weakened beyond repair.

JONES vS. WALLACE

Re the Jesse Jones' Henry Wal lace Fight:
 A lot of people have the idea that Jesse Jones is the grea t champion of Big Business and that the Board of Economic Warfare is the New Deal fighter for the under dog. But the inside fact is that the BEW is just as much for Bus mess as Jesse, and is loaded down with executives from private busi- ness.
 Interesting fact is that the BEW was about the only outfit which didn't have it's appropriation cut by Congress, which means that 1t was the only outfit which didn't have a big lobby buttonholing Con gressman to vote against it. (Un- fortunately, many Congressman vote at the beckon of Hobbies rather than at the beckon of conscience)
 OPA had the big meat-packers, the canners, the farm Hobbies all against it. The Office of War In- formation had the Republican Ma tional Committee against it. The Farm Security Administration had the Farm Bureau, the cotton planters and the big cattle ranch CTS against it.
 p1it Milo Dorlyi,1c o,1d tIa PENT have buttered up business to such extent that the business Hobbies were all for them. What Milo does is buy all critical materials abroad through American importers. Also he sells abroad through the expor- ters. He buys no matter what the price and they add their commits sions on top of that. Incidentally, these high prices plus commissions is one thing that irks Jesse Jones.
 How far Milo goes to this end was illustrated when the Chilean Government sent a mission to Washington to buy strategic ma- terialS from the United States. The Chileans were mystified to learn that they could not purchase any, thing from the U. &. Government. It all had to be done through non- government business channels. They figured they might just as well have stayed at home.
 NORTH AFRICAN GENERALS ;uThere is no truth to the gossip that Gen. Marshall and Gen. Eisen- hover rowed when the Chief of Staff visited North Africa
 The rumor got started because
The Daily Alaska empire., 1943-07-14

Eisenhower, anxious to push ahead fast in the Mediterranean, had to be restrained somewhat by Gen. Marshall. However, Gen. Eisenhower is the type who will argue vigor- ously and effectively regarding any strategy until it is finally settled. But once settled he will carry 1t out religiously to the last letter.
 Contrary to some reports, the fact that Eisenhower once served as chief of staff to Gen. MacArthur for four years in the Philippines does not mean that he stands in the Macarthur camp rather than with Gen. Marshall. Real fact is that both Eisenhower and Brig. Gen. Tom Davis, who was MacAr- thurs personal aide in the Philip pines, have been on the outs with the Pacific commander for some time, and it has been gall and wormwood for Macarthur to see his onetime insignificant subordi- mate in the Philippines now com- manding the most important thea tre of the war-North Africa-and now the invasion of Sicily.
 NOTE: Macarthur several times has hinted to Washington that he would like to be transferred to command in North Africa. Tn S would have put him over Eisen- hover.

WHO'S CHECKING WHOM?


For years, labor leaders have explained various excesses and unpalatable policies by saying they are unable to hold the rank and file in check. Occa- sionally something happens to take the wind out of this proposton--such the rank and files refusal to strike last month at the Thompson Products Com pany, which makes essential arplane equipment
 The CIO called the strike, but the union mem bers showed right through the picket lines and the strike Topped, reporter quoted one woman worker as telling picket that if her husband in North Africa knew she strike The would blow my head off" An elderly man, significantly swinging a hammer, displayed a pair of Army wings, worn in honor of his boy the Army Air Corps. Pretty soon the picket line melted, and the CIO called off the strike In this case, the rank and file checked the leaders.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do rot compel"
THURSDAY, JULY 15

Adverse aspects rule today. The | planetary influences appear to presage restlessness and apprehen- sion among the people of the Unit ed States due to certain internal conditions. Criticism and fault finding should be resolutely avoid ed. Wartime restrictions are nec- essary and if they do not work satisfactorily it is well to blame the planets.
 HEART AND HOME: Astrolo- gers counsel preparation for per manent changes in social, domestic and economic life. Present condi- tions indicate gradual alteration that is scarcely perceptible as each day brings its special challenge, Comfort can be taken from the prophecy that the new order will provide for the general good. AL though many must surrender spec ial privileges and wealth in the evolution caused by war the demo- cratic leveling, social and economic, will mean great progress for the nation which is to be the foremost in all the world.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Bad judg- ment in regard to the nations bus mess is presaged by today's con- figuration Well-meant Government restrictions and careful rationing will be unsatisfactory in many quarters. Labor may present old problems in new guise. Women in vacations usually monopolized by men come under exacting tests this month. On this date it is wise to avoid all commercial risks in the knowledge that tomorrow's sway will bring good planetary influences. ! NATIONAL ISSUES: Necessary concentration of power in Wash ington after the war will be widely recognized as unwise in country of such immense area as the Unit ed States, and in postwar plan ming states rights will assume new meanings. There is sign read as indicating movement toward the grouping of states in. districts where special interests, agricultural or manufacturing, can be promoted by men familiar with them. This issue will be emphasized by recent reluctance of Atlantic coast states men to recognize Pacific coast wal perils. n w INTERNATIONAL AIRS; The full moon of this month, July IT, is definitely adverse in it's in- fluences affecting Germany ano Icorrespondingly favorable to Britain land the United Nations. The chance Ito destroy Hitlerism for all time is discerned by the seers who have long emphasized the danger oi even the slightest compromise. The high ideals of democratic nations can not be employed successfully in dealing with mad men who ,wil misapprehend Christian standard. of human relationship.
 Persons whose birthdate it i. have the. augury of year of do nestle perplexities, some of which will be most fortunate. Romantic entanglements will be peculiarly unlucky, especially to soldiers ano sailors
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be highly intelligent and successful. Extreme sensitiveness may interfere with happy marriage or pleasant friendships.
