Model Who Recites Shaw Scene
Wins Miss Washington Contest
Dorothy Powell, n,
Is One-Eighth Indion;
Seeks Stage Career
BY JOSEPH YOUNG.

In what probably was the first and
last time that George Bernard Shaw
ever was mixed up in beauty con-
test, 21-year-old Dorothy Powell, a
model and one-eighth Cherokee In
dian, yesterday was selected as Miss
Washington of 1945.
No doubt the venerable Irish play
wright would like to know that the
judges were sufficiently impressed by
her recitation of the courtroom scene
of his play, "St. JOAN" as well as
her face and figure, to award her the
beauty crown.
Unlike the other eight finalists,
who sang for the assembled throng
in front of the District Building,
Miss Powell, a brunette with mil
lion dollar face and figure, chose to
be different and recited scene from.
the Shaw opus.
Speaks in Velvet Robe.
While streetcars changed along
Pennsylvania avenue and cars
aonked along Fourteenth street, Miss
Powell spoke the tragic but stirring
words of the condemned French
heroine, Jeanne dare. Before doing
so she covered her shapely figure
with a black velvet robe.
Runner-up was Seneva Knutson,
a 20-year -old blond clerk in the
Agriculture Department. Miss
Knutson, who lives at 1941 Bilt-
more street NV, sang MY Baby
Said Yes as her part in the con-
test.
Many servicemen witnessed the
contest and a good share of them
had cameras and snapped pictures.
One sailor viewed the proceedings
through pair of binoculars.
Lives With Sisters.
The men backed their individual
favorites with yells. The girls and
women in the crowd were silent for
the most part, except when the ver-
dict was announced. Then several
were heard to remark: What has
she got that I havent?"
Miss Powell, who lives with two
older sisters at BIS Eighteenth
street NV, is employed as model
at Rink Bros, Connecticut ave-
nue. dress shop. Mostly she models
negligees, she said.
For the statistical minded, Miss
Powell is feet inches tall, weighs
lis pounds, has a 35-inch bust,
23-inch waist, 35-inch hips, 21-inch
thigh, 13-inch calf and size shoe.
She has an olive complexion and
brown eyes.
Has Boy Friend.
She also has a boy friend. He's
an attache at the American EN-
bassy in London. When he returns
here next month there may be we'd
ding bells, but Miss Powell isn't
committing herself. A possible ca
reer, you know. and besides, since
husbands disqualify candidates at
Atlantic City, romance has to wait.
Miss Powell halls from Wetumka,
Okla, and has been here two years.
Prior to coming here, she spent six
months in New York as a hatsmodel

While Miss Powell is proud of
her Cherokee strain, she wants the
world to know she is seven
eighths Irish.

Third Of Arlington
Tax Unpaid Due 10
Excused Servicemen

Nearly one-third of Arlington
County's total tax assessment for the
last fiscal year remains unpaid be-
cause of deferments given service
men on payment of personal prop
erty taxes and exemption of others
under the Soldiers and Sailors Civil
Relief Act.
Bona fide county residents in the
service may defer payments, but
servicemen merely stationed there
are excused from paying.
In report to the county board
Mrs. Ruby Simpson, deputy treas
urer, disclosed that s102 ,307.74 of the
county's total assessment of $685.
5l2.03 is now delinquent.
Mrs. Simpson told the board that
delinquent personal property taxes
for 1944-45 have increased s32,-
1925 over the previous year, when
the delinquent tax list amounted to
$50 ,864.79
Rezoning Allowed.
The Board granted a request by
the Arlington Homes Corp, to re-
zone a tract of land in the 5000
block of Wilson boulevard from one
family residential classification to
local commercial.
The corporation, headed by w. A.
Mace, explained that the change in
coming was requested to allow con-
struction of a shopping center to
serve homes in the area. Several
residents of the area objected to
the zone change on grounds that
businesses should not be allowed in
the section.
In granting the request the
board, however, followed recon-
mendations of the County Plan
ming Board in excepting parts
of certain lots from the zone change.
The Board appropriated s2.553
from the contingent fund to pay
the county's part of the cost of a
sidewalk the entire length of the
block on South Wakefield street
in which the Bancroft Elementary
School is located.
Under an agreement reached with
the School Board, the school de-
partment will pay $3.50 as its share
of the total cost of s3,483.

with Miss Dora Trent, one of the
owners of the Trent property in
Cherrydale, the Board established

property facing on Lorcom Lane to
provide an entrance to the Cherry
dale playground site.
The compromise was reached aft
er the Trent property owners OBJ
jected to a 60-foot entrance as origi-
nally proposed. Miss Trent said that
if no other site were available for
the playground, she would not fur

were received from the Rev. Paul
R. Hunter. pastor of the Rock
