out children.
Workers at the board explained
that they could not determine the
number of prewar fathers entering
the service without going over the
entire list Of approximately 40 non-
fathers inducted November 49, They
added that they had neither the
time nor the facilities to do that.
They insisted that in classifying
prewar fathers in nondeferrable ac-
tivities as nonfathers. they we're
merely following a directive issued
September 10 by Maj. Gen. Lewis B.
Hershey, selective service director.
The directive states:
All registrants in groups I, 2.
and 4 who were placed in class IA
or LAO because they left agricul-
tural occupations or because they
were engaged in nondeferrable ac-
tivities shall be designated as non-
fathers"
Policy Varies.
A survey of the three draft boards
in the county revealed that Board
No. 2 Is the only one acting in ac-
cordance with the directive in clas-
styling registrants.
Ohicials of the board asserted that
this method OF classification is lust
a clerical job" and does not mean
that prewar fathers in nondeferrable
occupations are inducted ahead Of
single men and married men with
out children.
The eight prewar fathers from
the Hyattsville area who will report
for active duty with the armed
forces after postinduction leave are:

DC. Liquor Shortage
Debate Continues;
'R'a'liding' q Is Charged
Cochron Believes Supplies
Are Being Diverted by
Block Market Operators

Discussion of the District liquor
shortage continued today, fortified
somewhat by charges aired yester-
day in the House by two Repre-
sentatives that the Districts sup
plies are being raided by outsiders
repeatedly paying more than the
ceiling prices.
Representative Cochran, Demo-
eTat, OF Missouri touched of the
renewed attack on the question by
declaring, during House consider
alton of other National Capital
matters that "liquor comes in here
and IT goes out and unless omebody
violated the ceiling prices it would
not 70 out"
Ofl1cial Buying Rumored.
He added that he had been told
that ofncials Of two States, mot far
from Washington" had instructed
other officials to go out and get
liquor and bring 1t here, no matter
from where" He said later the
States were neither Maryland nor
Virginia and declined to specify
since he had not had time to check
the reports, but added he was con-
vinced there were black market
operations with District supplies
being carted out of town on trucks
Representative Stefan, Republican
Of Nebraska. told the House he
agreed with the declarations made
by the Missourian.
There was an added furry when
Mr.. Cochran reported he had been
told dsthe District Commissioners had
refused to have anything to do"
with the citizens committee created
recently to consider the liquor prob
lem, but there were quick denials
from both the District Building and
the citizens committee, which Is
headed by James E. Colliflower.
Mason Explains Stand.
Commissioner Mason said he had
attended a dinner meeting of the
citizens group, at its request, held
last week at the Mayf1ower Hotel.
He said he outlined his personal
views, suggested that some efforts
apparently were being made to toss
the liquor problem into the Com
missioners' lap, and had explained
the Commissioners had no authority
over liquor rationing.
Later, Mr.. Colliflower issued
statement saying committee spokes-
men had invited Mr. Mason to the
meeting, that he had attended the
session, that problems were dis
cussed and that the Commissioner
had voiced apprecia tion OF the offer
of cooperation and that he would
call on the group If the occasion
arose.
The District Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board has been holding
conferences for several weeks with
various sectors of the liquor indus
try. A. B. C. officials said several
more meetings would be held with
the industry before recommends
tions would be placed before the

Randolph Will Seek
House Action Soon

Stefon Objects to Bill
Declaring Airport Should
Be in Capital Area

Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee said today he
plans to call soon for House action
on his bill to settle the District
Virginia boundary issue-a measure
now taken out Of the "noncontro-
versial' category.
The bill would fix as the boundary
the present high-water mark on the
Virginia shore of the Potomac in
stead of the 1871 mark, which now
runs inland. 1t was scheduled for
action yesterday, but two House
members objected and the bill was
withdrawn. Democrat and Repubh-
can leaders had agreed no contro-
versial legislation would be consid-
cred in the House this week
Representative Stefan. Republican
of Nebraska. who interposed an OBJ
lection. declared the Washington
National Airport should be consid-
cred a part Of the District, not Vir-
ginia.
There is vital interest to the
Nation as we'll as to the District in
volved in this BILL" said Mr.. Stefan.
1T changes the boundaries of a
State as we'll as of the National
Capital.
Such change should not be
made without full considera ton of
the question of the tax revenues
involved. Then there is the consti-
tutional question OF retrocession of
National Capital territory to the
State.
Il realize the trouble being en-
countered as to policing the disputed
area, but I must say am opposed to
this plan. Certainly. We should not
act on such vital measure with
but a handful Of members on the
House floor"
Objection also was made by Rep
Iresentative Case, Republican Of
South Dakota, who emphasized there
was a revenue question entailed In
the proposed boundary change.
The bill as now drawn had the
support of the District Commission
ers. Attorney General Biddle, the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission and Virginia authori-
ties. The State Legislature already
has approved an enabling act.

The dome of the United States Capitol
was patterned largely after that on the
Cathedral of st. Isaac at st. Peters,
bourg, the architect of which was A.
Richard de Montferrand. The old dome
on the original central building OF the
Capitol was constructed of wood and
brick, covered with copper; this was re-
moved in 1855 and work on the present
structure Of cast iron was completed in
1865. This is the first time since its
erection that the "inspiration" of this
most famous dome in the world has been
disclosed.
A picture and architects drawing Of
the st. Isaac's dome was brought to
this country by August Gottlieb Schoen-
born, who was employed as principal
craftsman on the Capitol for So years
1885, 1902, and who died while so en-
ployed He passed that picture along,
with a carefully kept hand-written diary,
to his grandson, August Eccard (named
after him), who Is civil engineer in the
Office of the present architect Of the
Capitol, David Lynn, and has been
employed there for 43 years, and whose
son, Elliot Eccard tnamed after the
late Elliot Wood, longtime superinten-
dent of the Capitol, has also been en-
ployed in the architects Office for II
years.
Mr. Schoenborn had learned the re-
lated trades of bricklayer, mason, stone-
cutter and plasterer, and taken a four
year course in famous technical and
art school in Germany, working with
the renowned Architect Soller," before
coming to this country. He was more
than principal craftsman to Thomas U.
Walter, architect for the present Senate
and House wings and for the Dome.

BY Casper Names.

When Gen. Giraud unexpectedly
visited Georgetown University last
month, he found college campus so
completely transformed to wartime needs
as to elicit his admiration.
your military bearing and discipline
speaks we'll for your training. You are
indeed fortunate to be trained here for
leadership in titanic struggle for the
preservation of human freedom" he told
the student soldiers from Old North
porch.
Ever since the hilltop school was
founded in 1889 by the famous Jesuit
John Carroll as the first Catholic college
in the United States, it has traditionally
opened it's facilities to the Government
during wartime. Today, as one OF the
81 Specialized Training and Reassign-
ment Unit (STAR) and 100 Army Spe-
cialized Training Program (ASTP) uni
versities, it is following time-honored
custom.
The conversion began when the first
STAR unit entered Georgetown on April
26, 1943. This program aims to select
qualified soldiers for training at various
colleges in the technical and professional
skills needed by the Army.
The wedding out process begins at
once. and selection merely means the
trainee is at the beginning rather than
at the end of his probationary period.
"The democratic ideal that ability alone
Is the criterion for advancement is
severely followed" Col. Denham B. Graf
ton, commanding officer, said.
The STAR trainee undergoes care
fully prepared program during his stay,
which averages seven or eight days, at
the Hilltop" The first two days are
devoted to billeting and organization,
presentation of high school and college
credits and listening to orientation lee
lures by the military and college au-
thorities.
Then the trainee takes a three-day-
long series of tests, which probe deeply
into his native talents and acquired
knowledge. Following this, personal in
terviews are held before the STAR
Classification Board, composed of Col.
Grafton, Classification Officer Maj. Sid
ney M Simmons and the Rev. Paul Nc
Nally, S. j.. civilian adviser. Daily mill
tary drill and physical training round
out the program.
Several thousand men have been at
Georgetown since the STAR unit was
established. The youths, who have aver
aged 1,25o each period. have lived at New
North, Old North, Mcguire, Healey and
Ryan Buildings. Sixty-nine men from
the Washington area have been among
those undergoing the STAR program
at the Hilltop"
