the goal prompted officials to pro-
long the campaign another eight
days. The meeting today will be
the final general report meeting
whether the goal is reached or not

Four WACS Lose Rank
For Telling Grievances
To Washington Paper

-Four WACS stationed at Fort Bel
voir, Va, are being reduced from
noncommiSsioned rank and are
being reprimanded for giving a
Washington newspaper a report of
their grievances over alleged mis-
treatment at the hands OF superior
officers.
In statement issued at the uost
last night, the public relations Office
said most of the statements given a
reporter by the WACS and printed
in good faith by certain newspapers.
have been proved to be completely
untrue" Other statements, it was
said, were partly false and wholly
misleading"
The charges, made by four un-
identified WACS October %, blamed
the transfer of a popular member of
the WAC unit at the post on their
commanding officer, Capt. Dorothy
Tomhave.
Threatened to Go AWOL.
They also charged that chaplain,
who had attempted to take their
grievances to the commanding gen.
eral had been denied access to that
officer; that the commanding officer
had spent company funds without
their approval; that she had in
sisted that WACS make curtains on
their only free evenings and had
created the impression that large
organized group were prepared to
go AWOL.
Post officials said the chaplain has
stated under oath that he never
attempted to see the commanding
general and was never reprimanded
by, the executive officer. Further
more, officials said, the commando
ing officer, who under Army regula-
tlons, Is the one to decide how COM
pany funds are to be spent, actually
discussed the spending of these
funds at an open meeting.
They said II pairs of curtains for
the WAC recreation hall were Is
sued to be hemmed over q 21k-week
period and that the commanding
officer herself hemmed two pairs in
one hour. Post officials said care
ful investigation failed to disclose
any evidence of an organized move
on the part Of WACS to 60 AWOL.
Have Right to Air Grievance.
Post officials emphasized that
there Is standing order at Fort
Belvoir that any enlisted man or
woman who has a complaint or
grievance has right to present It
personally to the commanding ofii-
Ger, and II not satisfied, to take 1t to
the next highest officer.
They chose to impose upon the
confidence Of the press instead Of
using this simple means OF having
their grievances recorded and In
vestigated. The effect of their action
has been to bring public criticism
and ridicule upon fine and patri-s
otic body of American women" the
statement said.

Al Fort Reno
Structure Designed
To Serve Areas
Growing Population

Army engineers are to erect q
third water tower in the Fort Reno
reservation to serve the rapidly
growing population of that area, the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission announced today at its
monthly session.
The site chosen by the District
United States Engineers ONCE with
an estimated altitude Of 2l0 feet is
the highest point of land within the
District. This location is satisfac-
tory to the Planning Commission. II
was announced, but 1t was decided
that the Fine Arts Commission
should pass on the design.
The new tower is to be located be-
tween the two existing stone-faced
towers which have been serving q
long time. There are also two
reservoirs in the Fort Reno reserva-
ton. one of which is to be enlarged
Reports on Fairgrounds.

ing officer of the commission, gave
an appraisal report on two down.
town Fairgrounds slated for early
development. One Of these is to be
known as the Seton Playground at
Second and H streets NV, and the
other Is to be located at Seven
teenth and Church streets NV
While it is to be expected that
land values are increasing as q
result of the war, Mr.. Brown re-
ported that some of the property
owners are asking considerably
more than was expected.
Two small land transfers were
approved by the commission. One
Of these was an area of about 5000
square feet, on Macarthur boule-
ward and Manning place NV,
which was transferred from the
District to THE National Capital
Parks Office. 1t is located near the
District line and will be used for
neighborhood recreation.
The other was strip west of
Connecticut avenue between M
and Eighteenth streets NV. Three
feet are to be taken of the sides
of this triangle so as to widen
Eighteenth and M streets for better
traffic conditions.
Study Television Projects.
The commission announced this
afternoon 1t will make a study oi
six or seven applications for tele.
vision towers to meet Washington
future needs. Several groups al.
ready have applied to the Fedora
Communications Commission.
Tomorrow the commission is tc
hear a progress report on plans fol
the development of East Capitol
street which include a national
stadium. Members of the commits
sion today said they were pleased
with the progress of the Board OF
Trades campaign on behalf of a
memorial stadium but pointed out
that its chief concern was that the

obtained regardless Of size.
