XIoU HAVE a money problem? You
/ are probably tempted to get a
loan. Don't get it unless you first
make sure that it's the best way out.
Perhaps you can solve your problem
some other way-by cutting your ex-
penses, by better budgeting, by get

How q loan ean help
Sometimes loan is really necessary
to meet sudden emergency. Some
times loan gives a practical way to

Green Challenges
Eligibility Of Rider
For Arlington Post
Residence Issue Raised
By Democrat Against
Republican Opponent

Harry K. Green, Democratic COM
missioner of revenue in Arlington
County. yesterday questioned the
eligibility of his Republican oppo-
nent, LIE Roy B. Rider, to be candi-
date for public office
Basing his charge on an admission
made early in the campaign by Mr..
Rider-that he had failed to make
tax returns when first eligible be-
cause he maintained legal residence
elsewhere-Mr. Green said that Mr..
Rider had not paid taxes in 1912
until summoned to do so.
If Mr.. Rider claims residence
in some other State in 1912, then he
is not qualified to be a candidate
today" Mr.. Green said. IF he did
claim residence here. then I repeat
that he has wilfully and consistently
violated the laws he is asking to be
elected to enforce"
Harrison Mann, chairman Of the
Democratic Campaign Committee,
challenged the Republican party to
disayow Mr.. Rider as a candidate
publicly as many members have
done privately"
Homer E. Bauserman, Democratic
candidate for sheriff, listed 18 years
of business dealings in the county
and his captaincy of the auxiliary
police since its inception as his
qualification for the sheriff's post.

Core Group to Probe
Need Of Regulation

The Alexandria City Council last
night voted to refer the question of
municipal regulations for establish
ment of private nursery schools and
pre- school kindergartens to the city
manager and the Child Care Com
mittee.
The only requirement to date has
been the permission Of the council
for such groups to use stated loca-
ton. The council said the qualifi-
cations of the directors and the con-
duct OF the establishments should be
a matter Of investigation by city reg
ulation in the same way as profess
sional persons are examined and
licensed before being permitted to
practice.
Committee to Report.
The Child Care Committee, con-
slSting OF representatives from
various civic groups, and established
primarily as an advisory committee
for the day-care centers operated
under the direction of the Board of
Education, will be asked to report
back to the council after it has
studied the possibilities and ad-
visibility of such regulations.
The A. B. and w. Transit Co. was

on Braddock road.
George Bender, proprietor of the
fish market in the City Hall Market,
informed the council that he wished
to sell his business and that the
purchaser wanted a guarantee of a
one-year lease for the market. Coun-
Gil granted the request for q lease
on condition that the tenant would
vacate at the end of that period,
since use of the site is contemplated
in the proposed addition and altera-
ton of City Hall, which is expected
to be made whenever priorities for
such work are approved by the War
Production Board.
City Manager Carl Budwesky was
authorized to purchase three lots at
a cost of 81, 400 for the extension of
the Maury School playground on
Russell road.
To Rezone Plot
The council voted to advertise and
set for hearing the application of
Reginald Dyson for the rezoning to
CO residential the plot of ground
on the north side of Bashford lane
and the Mount Vernon Memorial
boulevard. Mr. Dyson indicated that
his client had prospective pur-
chaser for the land at a figure of
$32 500 if the council would rezone it
to permit construction of an apart
ment.
The council has been requested by
residents of the neighborhood to- ac-
quire this piece of land for a city
playground, and some time
authorized the citEaattorney to file
condemnation sui, since the land
could not beepurchased at a price
agreeable to the city, Lei

Gasoline Ration Books
For 86,376 Gallons
Stolen in Arlington
Thief Believed to Have
Used Duplicate Keys
To Enter Boards Offices

Theft of gasoline ration books
totaling approximately 86 ,376 gallons
from the Arlington County Ration
Board was disclosed today by George
Kicker. executive secretary.
Mr.. Kicker said the theft, which
took place between 6 and 7 pm.
Monday, must have been committed
by someone with keys to doors of
the gasoline room, and the inner
closet where the books are kept.
The loss may be 1000 books. he
said, but because it was the end of
the month only few packages of
B books for current use were in the
closet. The majority of coupons
were taken from boxes designated
for transportation Offices of nearby
military establishments.
Thirty B books, 142 c books. 81
E books, 80 r books, 1900 1-gallon
coupons and T coupons totaling over
10000 gallons were reported miss
Ing by Mrs. Florence Alleman, head
OF the gasoline division. Document
registers which were wrapped
around packages of books also were
taken, Mrs. Alleman said, but she
pointed out that these are merely
check on the disposition of books
and are of no value.
The complete disorder of the room
where the burglary was committed
indicated, Mr.. Kicker said, that the
thief must have been aware of the
short time between 6 and 7 pm
when ration board employees are not
in the Office.
Police Capt. Hugh Jones said nc
clues had been unearthed to date
A complete report of the case has

Than in Approved
Bill Considered

With one bill to increase allow
ances to servicemens families
passed by the Senate and indorsed
by the Army and Navy, the House

planned to consider bills providing
much more liberal provisions for
dependents.
Nathan Cowan of the CIO was

bill introduced by Representative
Sadowski. Democrat of Michigan.
which provides for a $50 monthly
payment to wife and one child
and $50 for each additional child.
Charles P. Taft of the Federal
Security Agency also was to be
called as a witness before a sub
committee is appointed to study the
various proposals for increases.
Opposed by Department.
One suggestion already has drawn
the firm opposition of the War De-
partment- Both Maj. Gen. Miller
G. White, assistant chief"of staff In
charge of Army personnel, and Mai.
Gen. Jay L. Benedict, chairman of
the joint Army-Navy committee
studying family allowance leeisla-
tion, yesterday voiced opposition to
the proposal made by Representa-
tive Sparkman, Democrat, of Ala
bama that soldiers be permitted to
halt their allotments for good
cause" such as wife's being "un-
faithful"
Gen. Benedict told the committee
that soldiers might be disturbed by
such a recognition by Congress that
conditions at home have not been
all they should be-" He said men
overseas already are getting great
deal OF misinformation of that kind.
Describing the family allowances
as lin degree compensation to
wives and mothers for giving their
husbands and sons to the service"
Gen. Benedict said the increases
approved by the War Department
were based on data from the Bureau
of Labor Statistics and the Social
Security Board that the cost of liv-
ing had increased by 10 per cent
since the family allowance law was
originally passed.
Stand on Hardship Cases.
Asked if he thought a special
fund should be set up for. hardship
cases. Gen. Benedict said no clear
cut need had been found for it.
He reported that dependents of
soldiers had received $1,192, ,410, ,381
up to September 3. Capt. H. G.
Hopwood, director of planning and
control of the Bureau of Naval Per-
sonnel, told the committee the de-
pendents of sailors had received
$152 ,239 ,470 through August.
Representative Hagen, Farmer
Laborite. Of Minnesota testified that
If the committee decided to make
increases, 81 a month increase for
child was "rliggardly" and that
we could justify much larger in
creases than that" The Senate
approved bill provides that the pay
nlent to wife and one child be
boosted from $62 to $68 month
and that the benefits to additional
children be increased from $40 to
$11 a month.
The Minnesota legislator also
suggested that passage of measure
with substantial increases would be
stimulus to fathers to volunteer.
