establishment OF USO center in
Bethesda to serve the several thou
sand servicemen stationed in the
area has been approved by the staff
and regional conferences and is
now under consideration by ma
tional USO headquarters, a meet
ing of the War Recreation and Hos
pitality Committee of Montgomery

cision on the project will be reached
in the next few days, he said.
The regional conference at Rich
mond recommended that the center
be established under the direction
OF the Washington branch of the
YWCA. While this conference felt
that the USO should aid in estab-
fishing and maintaining a center
for the duration, it recommended
that the center be regarded as
permanent institution to serve Naval
Hospital enlisted men and con-
valescing patients. The community
would be expected to bear the cost
OF the center after. the war, pos
sibly through inclusion in the Com
munity Chest.
Edwin Conover, field recreational
representative Of the Federal Sc
curlty Agency, urged that a survey
be made of the county to determine
existing needs He referred to the
increased assignment of soldiers to
Camp Lewis, the establishment of
a cantonment near the Naval Test
ing Basin at Carderock. the pro-
posed establishment of a military
hospital at Forest Glen and the as
signment of soldiers to Bliss Elec-
trlcal School in Takoma Park.

County Urged 10 0ffe
$500,000 Bonds for
Postwar Projects
Would Prevent Period
Of Unemployment,
Advisory Boord Says

Issuance by the Prince Georges
! County commissioners of 100000
worth of bonds at such time as
they deem wise and use of the
proceeds for postwar public i'm
provements is recommended by the
Advisory Board TO the county COM
missioners in report made public
/ today.
This sum constitutes the balance
OF an 100000 bond issue authorized
for the county at the 194l session of
the Legislature A 100000 bond
issue was sold in 194l and the Ad-
vlsory Board last year urged that
the remaining $500 900 worth be sold
in 1912 After approving the recon-
mendation, however. the Commits
sioners decided to defer action
indefinitely.
Would Avert Unemployment.
Sale OF the bonds at this time, It
was pointed out in the report. would
place the county in a position to
provide many needed public i'm
provements and prevent period of
unemployment for people DISCHARGED
from the armed forces and war
industries.
1t also would enable the county
to cooperate with the State and
Federal governments on projects
which would benefit our county and
might not come to us if we have no
funds available with which, to CO.
operate" the report added.
In outlining a list of projects on
which work had begun under the
$4,000 bond issue, the board adj
mltted that lack of priorities and
war conditions have prevented
completion of any of them. The
board urged, however, that the list
be reviewed so that work can be
started after the war.

costs include extension of Franklin

added that he intended to attend
a county teachers meeting Satur-
day.

State employees" Mr.. Kimble
said, have said little to us about
their wishes because they are afraid
they might lose their jobs. 1t
should be made clear that all State
employees have perfect right to
come and tell us what they want"

tended that the weekend develop

sultant to the prison branch. said
over 80 per cent Of the 10000
State prison inmates are eligible for
work on farms and State penal and
correctional institutions own more
than 100000 acres of lands, most of
them arabic
Other Land Leased.
The institutions also have rented
additional lands from private farms

to lie falloW under present condi-
tions.
IF this is total war; Mr.. LaNes

ances, and trade training for war
industries.
School Graduates Get Jobs.
Of the last, Mr. Duffy declared
that every graduate Of the San
Quentin trade school is placed i'll a

Mr.. Turner estimated that one
third of the inmate population of
State prisons is skilled, one third
is semi-skilled and one-third COM
mon labor, Stating that there is a
war going on and we have facilities
and manpower to help win it," he
said that he was in favor of prisoners
