County Officials
Heardon
Cemetery Bill
Arlington Heads
Favor Burial Ground
Near Manassas

The Senate-approved proposal to
expand Arlington National Gene
terry. which has been approved by
the House Military Affairs Com
mittee, probably will be returned
to that committee to allow Airing
ton County authorities to be heard,
Representative Smith, Democrat, OF
Virginia said today.
Three county board members
proposed meanwhile that a per-
manent national cemetery be estab-
lished on Civil War battlefields
near Manassas, Va, while the board
chairman, Leo c. Floyd, said he
favored a bill pending in Congress
to establish 48 State cemeteries.
Board members pointed out that
Civil War dead, both Union and
Confederate, are buried at the Ma
nassaS battlefield.
All five board members were
opposed to the expansion on the
ground that the 118 acres involved
include some of the most "poten-
TALLY valuable" land in the county.
Held Ideal Hotel Site.
Pointing out that the area at
the entrance to Arlington Memo
rial Bridge, overlooking the Poto-
mac River, is an ideal hotel site,
Basil De Lashmutt said that "acqui-
sition of some of our most valuable
property would satisfy only tenn
porarily the need for cemetery
ground" He said the Federal Gov
ernment eventually would have to
establish another cemetery and
should take steps to do so now.
A proposed s6,OOOOOO apartment
hotel to be erected at Lee boulevard
and Arlington Ridge road was
blocked in 1941 when the Office of
Production Management revoked
priorities for materials. The County
Board, which had approved the
project, and the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission, had
been at odds over the project for
months. The commission con-
tended the project would be an
"eyesore."
Manassas Plan Favored.
Mr.. De Lashmutt's suggestion that
the Civil War battlefields be made
into a national burial ground and
shrine was concurred in by Mrs
Elizabeth B. Magruder and F. Free
land Chew, County Board members
Mr.. De Lashmutt said he believed
1000 acres of undeveloped land prob
ably could be purchased for the price
OF the highly developed land under
consideration.
Mrs. Magruder, who asked the
board to take action on the Senate
Dill, said Federal acquisition of such
a valuable section OF the county
would be disastrous to the county
tay setup by cutting of a potential
source of large revenues.

Action on
War Orders

Washington, June ftp The
House met in extraordinary SEES
sion today to hasten passage o:
legislation for the settlement OF war
contracts despite protests by some
members that the bill as now con.
stituted would mean the waste OF
hundreds OF millions OF dollars.
A proposal by Chairman Andrew
]. May, D.. Ky, OF the House Mill
tary Affairs Committee that the bill
include a provision giving Comp
troller General Lindsay Warren fin
al authority in the termination OF
contracts was opposed on the
grounds that the general account
ing office has insufficient help to
audit the accounts. Resultant de.
lays. opponents said, would threat
en- the nations economy.
May said that every dollar now
in contracts comes out OF the peck
cts of the taxpayer and there is no
one to watch 1t for him but the Con.
gress and their agents, the comp
troller General"
The measure before the House
provides that the contracting agen-
cy shall have authority to negotiate
final termination, that 1t shall dis
pose of, or provide storage for, sur,
plus materials within 90 days OF
termination, and that 1t shall have
authority to make loans up TO 100
per cent on completed work and 80
per cent on incompleted contracts.
The general accounting office
would be permitted to investigate
transactions only in the event OF
alleged fraud.
The bill would set up an office OF
contract settlements and provide
for a director and staff to carry out
the work. An advisory board would
consist OF the secretaries Of War,
Navy and Treasury, the foreign
economic administrator and the at.
torney general. and the chairmen of
the Reconstruction Finance Corp,
the War Production Board and the
Smaller War Plants Corp.
