France and good part of Ger
many at an altitude of from 20 to
so feet barely skimming the tree
tops-was described here by 1t
Marvin G. Leigers, 26l8 Parkwooc
avenue. Richmond, Va, who has
just completed his 25th mission
over Europe.
The Bit had been on one of the
raids over Schweinfurt. After the
bombs were dropped it was impos-
sible to close the bomb doors. This
resulted in a drag on the craft
which caused it to lose speed. AT
about the same time the super
charger went bad.
Lone Plane Easy Prey.
1t was impossible to keep up with
the formation. Alone the plane was
easy prey for enemy fighters. The
pilot sought the shelter of clouds
about 1000 feet high After flying
in these long enough to throw any
pursuers off his trail he went down
to within 20 feet of the ground.
Here he was safe from fighters
but oper to rifle and machine gun
fire from any village he passed
over.
Fortunately the lowf1ying bomb
er escaped detection until well over
the German border. 1t was pep
pered with shots from the ground
:,
and only one of the crew was hurt.
Crossing the French coast, German
coastal defense crews opened up on
it with light machine guns. The
controls were shot away, and it was
necessary to fly back to England
by use of the automatic pilot. That
was 1t. Leiger's third raid.
Il didn't have sense enough then
to be scared" he said.

Council Rezone,
Areas for Stores
In arlington
Commission Asked
For Master Plan
For All Alexandria

Commercial development of the
northwest end of Alexandria to pro-
vide shopping centers for Fairling-
ton and Parkfairfax was assured last
night when the City Council re-
zoned two large tracts for the pur-
pose.
The Council granted the applica-
tion of j. Lee Price to rezone to
d. commercial tract on Seminary
road 100 feet north of Usage street
and running north along Seminary
road 603.81 feet, and the appli-
cation of Mrs. Catherine Delaney
to rezone tract with 545 feet 'front.'
age on the east side of Seminary
road in the 1000 block of Seminary
road. In addition the Council voted
to advertise and set for hearing on
its own motion the rezoning to d.
of third tract lying between the
two rezoned parcels.
Representatives of the Northrfdge
Citizens Association protested the
rezoning on the ground that indis-
criminate spot zoning without a
master plan will ruin the future de-
velopment of the city. After the
presentation of that argument by
William Warne, the Council voted
to ask the Planning Commission to
cooperate in study and develop
ment of a master plan to guide
future rezoning.
Rectorv Rented as Office
At the request of the Board of
Education, the Council voted to rent
the rectory of Grace Episcopal
Church at 207 South Patrick street
for s95 month, beginning April /,
for use as school board Offices. This
move will provide more space for
school Offices and will release the
present Offices in City Hall for ex-
pansion of Police Court facilities.
Mrs. ]. E. Holway, representing
the Parent-Teacher Association
thanked the Council for it's action
in asking Delegate w. Selden WASH
1ngton to sponsor a bill in the State
Legislature to amend the city char
ter so that the Judge OF the Juvenile
Court could be appointed by the
Council. The bill was killed after
passage by the House because SEN
ator Andrew w. Clarke added an
amendment making the juvenile
Judge an elective official. On the
advice of the Council, Mr.. Washing
ton refused to accept the amended
bill when it was returned to the
House.
Assails Senator Clarke.
Mrs. Holway bitterly assailed SEN
ator Clarke for proposing an amend
ment which had not been considered
locally, after PTA and city officials
had requested him to accept the bill
in its original form. She claimed
that the election of teachers would
be as reasonable as the election OF a
juvenile judge. She asked the Coun-
ell to appoint committee to study
the judgeship question so that con-
sidered action can be recommended
at the next session of the Legisla-
ture.
At the request of Russell Mitchell
Post, No. 600, Veterans of Foreign
Wars, the Council waived payment
of license fee for a weeks festival
which the post proposes to conduct
IN May for the benefit of veterans
OF this war and their families.
The Council passed on first read
Ing an appropriation of $12,750 for
