Brightwood Citizens
Laud Transit Service

The Capital Transit Co. last night
was commended by the Brightwood
Citizens Association for maintain
ing service during the recent flu epi-
demic. 1t was said that 337 opera
tors of buses and street cars were
stricken, but through cooperation
of the other operators, schedules
were maintained.
Senator Wiley, Republican, OF
Wisconsin will be advised that the
association is opposed to the bill OF
Senator McCarren, Democrat, OF
Nevada, claiming that it does not
provide proper representation for
the citizens of Washington in Con-
gress. John Clagett Proctor pointed
out that the Summers-Capper reso.
luton, empowering Congress tc
grant the citizens national repre-
sentation, is preferable.
Ward Taylor, former president O
the Sixteenth Street Heights Citi
zens' Association, invited the asso.
citation to join in a community cele.
bration next month in honor O.
Robert L. Hayoock, superintendent
of Schools, on his recent promo

the hardships of living in foxholes,
reduced rations, little sleep and
grueling marches. Trained at Camp
LIE Jeune, New River, N. c., to work
closely with forward combat troops,
she has accompanied the raiders on
many missions into enemy territory.
The noise Of nearby grenade explo-

Jap sniper bullets never distracted
her as she carried out her scouting
duties.

Liquor Retailers License
Suspended by Board

In its first case against retailer
involving out-of-State sales, the
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board
has suspended the license Of Bernard
Bobb, 123-125 G street NV, for 10
days, beginning January 20, for vio-
lation of the good faith clause" of
the liquor regulations.
The firm was accused Of making
sales in excess of five gallons with
out a Federal wholesale tax stamp.
Other charges against the Bobb
store, known as the Capitol Liquor
Co., included sale from place other
than licensed premises, borrowing
from a retailer, purchasing from a
retailer, sale in excess Of IL quarts
without memorandum, and deliv-
cry to minor. All of these charges
were dropped.
The board was handicapped in the
presentation of its case, it was said,
because 1t was unable to obtain
witnesses from West Virginia, where
the liquor allegedly was destined.

Compulsory Military
Training for Youths
Proposed BY Knox
b the Associated press.

By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Jan. Ito make
certain that our individual liber-
ties will be preserved Secretary Of
the Navy Knox last night advocated
one years compulsory military
training "for every boy. when he
attains the age Of II or 49,"
There is no safety or peace in
unpreparedness," the cabinet officer
told the Cleveland Boy Scout Coun-
ellis annual banquet. "Ihe unspeak-
able folly OF the theory that we are
more likely to resort to war, or be-
come involved in war, because we
are reasonably prepared against the
danger of war, has been made so
plain that few will be found to deny
1t.
Marines Reject rs Per Cent.
Therefore, I believe, thoroughly,
that one Of the best measures we
can take to insure that our indi-
vidual liberties will be preserved and
that free Americans will remain
free, Is to require that every boy,
when he attains the age of II or IS,
shall be required to spend at least
one year in training on land, or at
sea, against the responsibility that
some time his services may be re-
quired to help protect the country"
Citing Is per cent reflections by
the Marine Corps for physical rea-
sons, Secretary Knox asserted I'VE
must in the future, spend more time,
thought and money in improving
the physical qualities of our people. 4"
Our first concern" he added,
must be care for children. This
certainly should include fire.
quent medical examination in the
public schools"
A second step recommended by
Mr.. Knox lis to teach city-bred boys
and girls how to take care of them
selves out of doors. Indeed, I am
not sure that scouting ought not to
be made a part of our pubic school
curriculum"
Cites Three Factors.
Supporting his universal training
recommendation, the cabinet men,
ber cited three factors:
An adequate Navy, Air Force and
Army are necessary to put force be-
hind" any peace Of worthwhile du-
ration;
"At the conclusion of hostilities
five or six million men overseas, con-
sumed with anxiety to get home, "
could be replaced with young men
with years training, eager for the
experience" to fill all our needs
overseas in the period of adjust
ment:
I'VE will find, when this war is
finished, all over the country literal
ly thousands of training camps, with
adequate buildings and equipment
and an abundance of instructors
and officers" to train young men.

Gates future population of 25O, 900
or double the present population
there, public forum at Miner
Teachers College was told today by
John Nolen, jr., director of the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission.
Mr.. Nolen stressed that density
in the one-third colored population
there is only one-half that of the
two thirds white population. New
legislation to be presented to Con.
gress, he said, should mean bette,
housing in the central section of this
city, particularly for colored people
Demolition of old houses was
stopped by the exigencies of war, he
emphasized, with new construction
failing to meet the demands of the
huge wartime population.
Colored Population Growing.
John Ihlder, executive officer ol
! the National Capital Housing Au-
thority, said that a race segrega-
ton policy for low-income housing
construction follows the dual schoo
and playground patterns in the
District.
Existing conditions had to be
taken into consideration, he tolc
the forum, because the "colored
population in Washington is grow
ing faster than new construction i
being provided"
No more temporary housing TO,

able, Mr.. Ihlder stressed, as he
pointed out that 2,8l8 houses have

School.
Restrictions Questioned.
Questions asked from the f1oo1
indicated the concern Of coloree
civic and religious leaders lest pro-
posed slum clearance projects
should not carry with them the
responsibility of relocating dis
placed families.
If restrictions as to race and in.
come are to govern occupancy OF
rebuilt areas, where are colorec
families to 60, a representative Of the
Urban League asked. Mr.. Ihlder re.
piled that slum reclamation and new
housing projects would impose great
| complications If the school and play.
