The new Alexandria school under
construction on Janney's lane may

schools, said yesterday.
The egiht-room 1000 school is
being built by the Federal Works

in Cameron Valley Homes and Chin
quapin Village, defense housing prof.
ects.
The children are now attending
various schools. The original plan
was to open the school February l
and transfer them at the beginning
of a new semester.
Mr.. Williams said he had been in
formed that contracts for the school
furniture had been let only last
week with 80 to 90 days given as
the delivery date.
In addition, there is still some
controversy over the heating system
despite the fact that an AAA pri-
ority was originally given by the
War Production Board.
Mr.. Williams said he intended te
inform the Board of Education that
he considered it ill-adyised to move

Fuel Problem rs Years Ago
Forced 5-Doy Shutdown in East

1918, had an eerie tinge of familiar
ity. There were few differences:
Oil, not coal, is the fundamental
problem today, although the an
thracite miners strike has created
temporarily difficult condition
here.
Nearly all factories in this war
are turning out vitality needed war
tools, and they would be the last
to be affected by fuel shortage
during this war.
The Capital Transit Co., which
was ordered to curtail Monday op-
erations to Sunday schedule by
DIR. Garfield, no longer burns coal
to keep passengers warm.
The public, conditioned to ration
ing and shortage problems generally,
does not boil over with anger as
easily these days as it did the day
after DR.. Garfield's 1918 order was
issued.

Shaw Challenges King
To Specify Reforms
Needed in County
Montgomery Democratic
Leader Coils Charges
Indefinite, Unfounded'

Lacy Shaw, chairman of the DEM
ocratic State Central Committee
for Montgomery County and presi-
dent of the Board of County Com
missioners, today challenged Will
lard A. King of Chevy Chase either
to outline reforms needed in the
county government or to stop at
tacking the reputation of the un-
usually good government of the
county in which he lives"
Mr.. King, a former Democrat,
who was an unsuccessful Independ-
ent candidate in November for the
House Of Delegates, yesterday urged
county Democrats to switch to the
Republican party. He charged that
the county government is now con-
trolled by small group of Demo-
Gratis, dominated by one man.
In statement, Mr.. Shaw de-
scribed Mr.. Kings charges as "in-
definite and unfounded," and said
they were made because Mr.. King
is obviously unhappy" over the
November voting and is displeased
with the Democratic party. Mr.
King, he said, has never been a.
Democratic candidate for a county
nomination.
In reply to the charge that the
Democratic organization controls
the party's primary elections, Mr..
Shaw pointed out that every regis
tered Democratic voter is entitled
to vote in all Democratic primary
elections.
mo one can receive a Democratic
nomination in Montgomery County I"
ne asserted, unless a majority Of
the Democrats are willing to vote
IN favor of such a nomination"
During Mr.. Kings campaign last
year, neither he nor any of his asso-
ciates named any county Office that
they would abolish or the salary of
which they would reduce, according
to Mr.. Shaw.
In answer to another charge that
the promotion of gambling in the
country was the hidden plank in the
Democratic platform, Mr.. Shaw
termed this complete political
falsehood."

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 16.-Gov.

University of Richmond students
yesterday there would be a third
world war unless the United States
accepts her share of responsibilities
in world affairs.
There is no such thing as a

only thing that can end wars is en-

Had America been sufficiently well
armed, he added, Hitler could have
been stopped before Munich.
Gov. Darden said public opinion
would influence the nature of the
peace and that this opinion would
be nodded by the men who are do
ing the fighting.
Isolation is impossible. he de-
clared. I'VE can't live alone, but
combined we can keep the peace of
the world"

people should have followed Pres

COLLEGE PARK, Md, Jan. 10
The last seasons production of COM
mercial apples in nine Maryland
counties and scattered production in
other counties is estimated at 2,211,-
600 bushels, or about Is per cent
more than the estimated production
of 1905 900 bushels in the same areas
in 1941.
Production also was about 16 per
cent above the 1934-39 average.
In October, when many varieties
were ready for harvest, weather con-
ditions, scarcity of harvest labor and
excessive cullage, prevented the
harvest of about 240, 900 bushels. The
drop this year was unusually heavy
for late fall varieties. Maryland
ranked 18th in 1912 apple produc-
ton. Total valuation of the 1912
crop is estimated at $2,059 900, COM
pared with an estimated value of
$1,734, 900 for the 1941 crop. Un-
