Public Acclaim Gives Victory
To Post Bond in Music Bottle

That the Post Swing band is the
''best" aggregation of dance music
makers on the Fort Huachuca res
ervation is the decision arrived at
by hosts of dance music lovers who
crowded the Field House Saturday
night to dance to and listen to
strains of swingophony being played
by the Division band, the 29th Spec.
Serv. band and the Post band.
Public opinion, by a vote of two
to one, rendered this verdict not
only by vociferous applause, but also
by quotable statements cleaned from
the audience by Apache Sentinel re-
porter, E. E. Hughes, who took care
not to question anyone attached to
the SOU 1922 or the 29th Spec.
Serv. in reporting audience reac-
ton
Of 26 apparently neutral enthusi-
asts. the opinion of 18 favored the

of Hero
Receives DSC
During Review

Saturday morning, beneath
cloudy Huachuca skies, the
wife Of hero, Mrs. Eloise Lo-
peg Estrada, received the Dis
tinguished Service Cross as
posthumous award for the gall
lantry of her husband, Pvt. Gil
berto c. Estrada, who gave his
life to save his comrades in
arms.
Background for the post
humous award ceremony was
a formal military review in
which the Post Commander,
Col. Edwin N. Hardy, and the
Post Adjutant, Major H. R. Hansen,
both mounted, viewed troops of Sou
1922, the 335th Station Hospital and
the 1316th Engineer regiment.
Ceremony Brief, Touching
During the brief and touching
ceremony in which Col. Hardy made
the presentation, Mrs. Estrada wept
into the balled-up handkerchief
which was clenched in her fist.
Recalling that last July, 1943, a
formal military review and presen-
tation of the DISC was held in honor
of another Arizonian surnamed
Estrada, Col Hardy declared, "Pvt.
Estrada did not give his life in vain.
His name should be justly famous
throughout the country since two
people of that name have been re-
Gently honored at Fort Huachuca
for making the supreme sacrifice"
BY his courageous death, Col.
Hardy declared that Pvt. Estrada
had "set an example of noble cour-
age and his act shall be a memorial
of virtue to all of the nation" At
the conclusion of this statement the
Distinguished Service Cross was
pinned on Mrs Estrada'S bosom.
The solemn sounding of taps and
passing of troops in review ended
the presentation ceremony.

Bi|bo Pledges Study
OF Proposal TO Slash
D. C.-Virginia Fares
Head of Senote Group
Plons EorIy Examination
Of McCurrun's Measure

Chairman Bilbo of the Senate
District Committee yesterday prom
ised prompt consideration would be
given by his group to the request
of Senator McCarran, Democrat, of
Nevada for action to settle the pro-
tracted controversy over. bus fares
between the National Capital and
Federal buildings in nearby Vir-
ginia.
Senator McCarran offered a meas
ure more than year ago to apply
District laws to the Federally owned
areas of nearby Virginia, but ac-
ton was delayed, partly due to Vir-
ginia objections and partly because
other efforts were being made to
lower and equalize cross-Potomac
fares.
However, after three judge tri-
bunal of District Court set aside a
rate order finally issued by the In
terstate Commerce Commission on
the grounds it had not established
its jurisdiction, Senator McCarran
moved for legislative action to end
the muddle
Il heartily agree" said Senator
Bilbo, that some decisive action is
needed to bring relief to the thou
sands of Virginia and District resi-
dents who find it necessary to ira
verse the District boundary going
to and from work, day after day.
Il shall be glad to have the SUBJ
iect considered at the next meet
ing of the District Committee,

0'Conor Urges State
And Local School Aid
For Ex-Servicemen
Believes Plan Is More
Practical Than Creation
Of q Federal Agency
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
+ ANNAPOLIS, May 6. - Gov
O'Conor today urged the fullest use
of existing State and local educa-
tional facilities for education of
returning servicemen rather than
creation by Congress of a Fed
eral bureau
Stating that two bills are now
pending before Congress relating to
postwar considerations for men
serving in the armed forces. the
Governor said their educational
provisions should adhere to the es-
sential and fundamental principles
of local autonomy established by
the Constitution of the United
States.
Il believe the veterans themselves
would be the last ones to want tc
see the State deprived of its con.
stitutlonal right to control educa-
tional matters within its borders"
Gov. O'Conor expressed a prefer
ence for House bill offered by Rep
resentative Barden, Democrat, OF
North Carolina, which authorizes
State advisory committees to select
the educational institutions and gives
complete administration through
State departments of education.
The Governor said meeting ir
Washington yesterday, called by the
American Council on Education
was most beneficial in focusing Ma
tional attention on the veterans
legislation concerning education
which will be voted upon in the
House on May 10.
This conference highlighted very
properly the possible dangers not
only in the loss of States rights in
this matter, but in actual impair
ment of established educational sys-
TENS throughout the country.
Education is one field where Fed
eral bureaucracy must not be per-
mitted to dominate, for such dom
ination would lead directly to the
centralized control of education in
Washington with its far-reaching
possibilities.
TO impose on our Maryland edu-
catlonal system control from Wash
ington would serve no useful pur-
pose, and not only would increase
administrative costs, but would ac-
tually hinder effective administra-
tion

Whisky Ration
In Virginia May
Be Increased

/ Whisky may be virtually unob-
tainable in Washington and nearby
Maryland, but the Virginia Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board is consider
ing whisky ration increase to re-
lieve a congestion in State ware
houses and retail outlets, the Asso-
cited Press reported from Richmond
last night.
Although no official statement has
been made by the ABC Board, it
appeared that the present ration of
one quart of whisky a month to
State residents would be liberalized
by June /.
An ABC Board spokesmen ad-
mitted that something must be done
soon to relieve the congestion re-
sulting from the receipt of new
stocks of whisky recently purchased
from the American Distilling Co. in
Pekin, Ill
This stock, about 100000 cases,
was bought in the Commemorative S
first venture into the distilling busi-
ness under an enabling act passed
by the last session of the General
Assembly. 1t is now being delivered
on a schedule calling for about
so, 900 cases a month.
The ABC Board spokesman said
none of the new whisky has yet been
placed on sale and this is creating
some congestion of stocks in retail
stores.
The re-registration of present ra-
ton bookholders will end May 81
and new neutrality-suspicious. who
have never registered before-will
begin June /.

Darden Voices Hope
Of Improved Schools
As Survey Is Begun
Commission Agrees
Adjustments Are Needed
In Several Facilities
BY the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, Va, May 6.-Gov.
Darden today expressed high hopes
for basic improvement in Virginia s
public school system after a two
hour session yesterday with the
General Assembly's School Study
Commission, which has been given
the job of conducting complete
survey of the educational system.
While the outline for its study
was not completed by the COM
mission, its members agreed on the
following points:
That the fundamentals of public
education must be examined care
fully in order that proper adjust
ments in the system may be made;
that curricula must be studied
closely to make needed changes for
adapting elementary instruction to
the needs of the Commonwealth :;
that school personnel must be i'm
proved through reorganized and ex-
panded teacher-training facilities
and that there must be an overall
system of school financing.
In addition, the members of the
commission approved Gov. Darden's
statement that the States schoo,
system must be decentralized. ii
Several commission members pro-
tested the curricula of Virginia's
elementary schools, asserting that
the pupils are not learning enough,
OF the fundamentals to give them
the proper foundation for higher
education.
Also criticized were some of the
rules and regulations of the State
Department of Education which
were characterized as "red tape, y
hampering the efficiency of the
classroom teachers.
