A full-nedged chapter OF its own,
the Arlington County Red Cross
is growing so rapidly that it has just
about outgrown Its present head
quarters-an ld-fashioned house on
Wilson boulevard.
How do you manage all your
training courses-your production,
your administration work." we asked
Mrs. Carter B. Magruder, who is
chairman of Volunteer Special Serv-
ices for the chapter.
I'VE could use lot more space,
there's no doubt about that" Mrs.
Magruder said, but we have man
aged to carry on and increase our
output. Our Nurses Aides, for in
stance, have their entire training in
the new Arlington Hospital-even
their classroom lectures are given
right at the hospital. Then the
Production Corps-which is one of
our biggest and includes knitting,
sewing and surgical dressings-has
units scattered throughout the
county. Our Canteen Corps works
at the Ballston flrehouse, which is
equipped with large kitchen and
everything the workers need"
We interrupted Mrs. Magruder
here to ask about the Canteen Corps
of Arlington County in the recent
flood of the Jubal Early group OF
homes there
1T was the first emergency of any
size that the Canteen Corps had had
to cope with" she told us land
they really did swell job" In two
days they fed $50 people four nour-
ishing hot meals-cooking and pre-
pairing the food right on the spot.
The Motor Corps transported the
food and the workers and helped
to evacuate the people from their
flooded homes.
Our Motor Corps does a ire
mendous job, too" Mrs. Magruder
went on, transporting production,
blood donors. taking people from
their homes to clinics. Carrying on
without them would be impossible.
I'VE also have a hourishing Staff
Assistants Corps. These women
man the chapter house, the SWITCH
board, do the clerical work and act
as receptionists at the Pentagon

very important and has its head

idea of holding an open house for
service men. and with the encour-
agement and aid of Mrs. Allan Han

and Mrs. Georges Doriot, they
named the evening and went to
work.
Fifty members of Jango met at
the club early Wednesday evening,
spick and span in their attractive
uniforms. Only a few service men
were there and the party moved of
to slow start. Soon, however, the
brilliant lights and the strains of
lively music lured other lonely SOL

club, and before long large crowd
had assembled and the open house
was proving itself to be a success.
Dancing was continuous in the
lounge, where the electric victrola
furnished music, and in the game
room some Of the guests played bill
lizards while others grouped around
the piano and sang popular ballads
and all of the old-time favorite
songs.
One of the centers of attraction
was the big table where cooling
fruit punch and mounds Of sand
wiches and cakes were served.
Everywhere there were gay voices
and happy Notwithstanding in
full measure the young hostesses Of
the occasion.
The only planned entertainment
was a music program given by
Sergt. Jane Mcmillan, Sergt. Mary
Ukasik and Pvt. Rose Schaubman,
members of the Women's Army
Corps. Sergt. Mcmillan and Sergt.
Ukasik, both talented singers, were
accompanied by Mrs. Ralph A. Bard,
wife of the Under Secretary of the
Navy and one of the founders of
Jango. For her Spanish songs, Pvt.
Schaubman accompanied herself
with the maracas-a pair Of Puerto
Rican gourds.
Mrs. Bard, Mrs Phil Porter, presi-
dent of Jango; Miss Betty McMillen,
Mrs. Julius Furer and Mrs. Luther
Sheldon, president of the Soldiers,
Sailors and Marines Club, were

his seniority right to the chairman
ship of the District Committee and
to campaign for self-government for

Grand Jury Proposes
Deal With District 10
Treat Contagious Ills
Prince Georges County
Without Facilities to
Care for Such Patients

A recommendation that arrange
ments be made with a reasonably
accessible Washington hospital for
the care of Prince Georges County
communicable disease patients is
contained in report submitted yes
terday by the county grand Jury for
the April term of Circuit Court.
Of the lot cases presented to the
grand jury by States Attorney A.
Gwynn Bowie, 10 indictments were
returned. Twenty-four cases were
ignored and four continued for fur
Their investigation.
In its report, submitted to Judge
Charles G. Marbury, the group also
urged that the countrywide dog
quarantine be strictly enforced" and
reiterated recommendation made
by previous grand juries that liquor
establishments in the county have
the same closing hours as those in
the District.
Declaring that at present there are
no facilities in the county to care
Tor communicable disease cases, the
grand jury asserted that there is
urgent need" for some workable"
arrangement with a District hospital
to admit such cases.
The jury also emphasized that the
epidemic of canine rabies in the
county seems to warrant drastic
action to safeguard human lives"
While noting marked improve
ment in law enforcement in the
county since the adjournment of
the previous grand jury, the group
said that the conformity of closing
hours in county liquor establish
ments with those in the District
would materially improve condi-
lions" At present county liquor
establishments close at 2 am while
those in the District close at mid
night.

Members of the Executive Council
OF the American Association of
University Professors concluded
their annual business meetings at
the Statler Hotel today with a
warning from the new president,
Prof. Quincy Wright of the Univer-
slty of Chicago, to resist attempts
OF outside groups to reconstruct COL
lege curricula along immediate"
rather than far-sighted policy lines
after the war.
"A university must stand on it's
own legs" he said.
Prof. Wright, now on leave from
the State Department and the For
elgn Economic Administration. said
he fears that strong pressure" will
be eXerted on faculties to substitute
teaching of local and national"
values for universal values. Mem
bers of the association, he concluded,
must guard against any such I'm
Vasion of academic freedom" and
plan postwar curricula themselves.
The council meetings have been
substituted for full association meet
lngs for the duration of the war.

Ii. Murphy Proposes
New Plan 10 Handle
Young Lawbreakers
Juvenile Bureau Head
Against Putting Names
Of Offenders on Book

Procedure enabling police te
handle certain types of juvenile
cases without putting their names
on the books" is one of the OBJ
jectives proposed by 1t. William
Murphy, head of the new Juvenile
bureau of the Police Department.
Speaking yesterday before the Cen
trail Neighborhood Council sponsored
by the Council of Social Agencies,
1t Murphy said his plans are
awaiting approval of Supt. of Police
Edward j. Kelly, who has been ill
the past three weeks
Instead of arresting youngsters
TOR an unlimited number of Of
lenses, the officer said, he hoped a
policy could be developed which
would state that, under certain
circumstances, no records would be
made until the Juveniles case had
been investigated by police.
mo Patrol Wagon for Kids"
II the officer assigned to this
type of case felt the situation war
ranted it, he said, there would
still. be time to make out a Juve-
nile Court slip"
Lit. Murphy said he wanted it
understood that under the iuve-
nile bureau there would be no
placing of patrol wagons at strate-
gic places to load up the kids and
carry them Off"
Emphasizing that the juvenile
bureau personnel would have to be
carefully selected, he said he ex-
pected staff of approximately 20
officers. These would include one
from each precinct and an Office
staff.
The council approved a motion
10 write Vice President Wallace
expressing "disapproval of the &C
tons and statements" of Senator
Bilbo, chairman of the Senate Dis
trict Committee, "as recently ex-
pressed In a public speech"

mittee holding hearings on the
bill to transfer administrative
powers of the Board of Public
Welfare to the Commissioners, re-
question that a study be made to
decide whether such board func-
lions most effectively as policy
making or advisory unit. 1t re-
quested that this study be made
through the Public Administration
Clearing House by the American
Public Welfare Association.
Plans also were made to express
approval to the Commissioners
that recommendations for men

will be made in the 1945 supple

pressed regret, however, that no
provision has yet been made in
budget requests for retention of

nile Court.
