The time for the civic reception
honoring Maj. James P. S. Devereux,
Marine commander at Wake Island,
today was set tentatively for $3.50
pm. next Saturday, after the 38-
year-old hero decided on his ar
rival in San Francisco yesterday
to make the remainder of his Jour-
ney here by train rather than air.
His neighbors in Chevy Chase and
Bethesda had planned to honor him
Monday, but Maj. Devereux decided
to rest in San Francisco until to-
morrow and arrive here by train
at $3.50 am. Wednesday.
j. c. Batham. commander of the
Bethesda Chevy Chase American
Legion Post and chairman OF the
celebration committee, said today
that Maj. Devereux would be hon.
ored Saturday unless the major pre-
ferred another date.
Son to Greet Him.
When Maj. Devereux reaches
Union Station here, he'll hold his
long-sought reunion with his IL
year-old son Paddy. 1t will be
almost four years since the day in
October, 1941, he had bade his son
good-by in Honolulu. Paddy and his
young mother, now dead, had come
back to the mainland, and Mai.
Devereux had gone on to Wake
Island. to lead the heroic fight of
the Marines there and to suffer
more than three and one-half years
OF imprisonment.
Mrs. Devereux died shortly after
the Wake Island seige, not knowing
what had been her husbands fate.
Last night Maj Devereux and
Paddy greeted each other in an
NBC broadcast carried as part of a
news program. Maj. Devereux sat
in a San Francisco studio while
Paddy talked into a microphone at
the WRC studios here.
Both controlled their emotions as
they greeted each other.
Hello, Dad"
Hello, Paddy"
"PH Be Home Wednesday"
The father assured his son he was
feeling fine, and he told the boy,
IN be home Wednesday morning at
$3.50 at Union Station"

Ry HELEN Raj.

The WACS and WAVES are not the
only GIs who are window shopping
and planning their civilian outfits.
Yesterday afternoon more than 500
patients at Forest Glen, the Army
convalescent hospital saw fellow
patients model clothes in Back
to Civyies" fashion show sponsored
by the Women's Advertising Club
of Washington and the Hecht Co.
The show proved men with arti-
fetal limbs can be fitted in regu-
lar civilian clothing and will look
exactly like the rest of the male
population-a fact which has eased
the mind Of many an amputee, ac-
cording to Mrs. Joseph Kavanaugh,
chairman of the veterans orienta-
ton program Of the Ad Club.
With Pfc. Robert Catlow, a men,
ber of the hospital personnel, serv-
ing as master Of ceremonies, and
to soft music provided by an Army
orchestra, the men paraded across
the stage of the Forest Glen ball
room with the poise of professional
models.
Miss Julie Mehlnor, prcies-
sional model, took part in the show,
serving as background for the
male beauties" and added an i'm
promptu touch by performing
dance number with Pvt. Eddie lara
chowicz of Cleveland, who lost his
lett leg below the knee at Bougain-
vile. Wearing double-breasted

Gasoline Shortage Here
Unlikely, Dealers Soy

Washington motorists need have
no fear of gasoline shortage as
result of the strikes in Midwest oil
fields and reflneries.
This was the assurance today from
representatives of retail dealers and
distributors. Spokesman for one
group described the supply of motor
fuel as normal and added that mo

ton.

Planners Are Horrified
At Proposed Design
For Pentagon Tower
By NELSON M. SHEPARD.

4~LAoolN AVA SAAIA hxNDs
Federal planners took one horri-
fed look at the design Of 24-story
office tower suggested for erection
in the middle of the huge central
court of the Pentagon Building and
mentally shuddered, it was revealed
yesterday at the closing monthly
planning session.
The very idea was enough to
prompt the guardians of aesthetic
planning for Washington to direct
the sending of a letter to the Sec
retary of War setting forth their
unanimous objections. 1t simply
doesn't fit in at all with their idea
of solution to the postwar ques-
ton: What1l we do with the Penta-
gon Building?
Its too tall for one thing" walled
Secretary Thomas S. Settle He
enumerated other reasons why the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission turned thumbs down on
the suggestion.
l, The 6-acre central court should
be left open, as planned, for the,
benefit and use of the $4,000 en-
ployes in the Pentagon.
2. The proposed Office tower would
add some 5000 or 10000 more in
mates of what Is now heralded as
the worlds largest Office building
giving the area too great a popula-
ton.
3. Instead Of adding another
building, the planning commission
is looking forward to the time when
some of the temporary buildings in
the Pentagon reservation are re-
moved.
Seen as Trial Balloon"
In justice to former Secretary
Henry L. Stimson and Secretary
designate Robert P. Patterson, the
planning group said it realized the
suggestion has not been put forth
officially. 1t was simply the idea
thought up by Col H. w. Isbell,
War Department headquarters COM
mandant, perhaps as a trial bal
loon"
The picture of the tall tower was
reproduced in the Pentagon's Off
cial newspaper and in the Washing
ton papers at the time, so the Fed
eral planners took time out of a busy
session to scotch the plan.
The commission also reiterated
the policy announced by the late
President Roosevelt and indorsed by
1t that temporary war structures
erected in downtown park areas be
removed after the war. 1t admitted,
however. that the Pentagon Build
ing itself will be occupied for years
to come.
Other Actions Taken.
The commission yesterday took
these actions:
Approved relocation of the pro-
posed recreation house for the Tur-
key Thlcket project nearer to Mich
lgan avenue than originally planned.
The house will be erected soon on
the 8-acre area which is being re-
developed at Michigan avenue and
Tenth street NE.
Approved erection of a cafeteria
building for National Airport en-
ployes near the hangers at the
southern end of the airfield.
Requested the Civil Aeronautics
Administration to submit it's entire
program for postwar airflelds in the
Washington Metropolitan Area.
Approved the plans for an inter-
change road connecting the future
Washington Baltimore parkway
with the Annapolis freeway. The
main intersection will come in at
the edge of Anacostia Park across
the District line in Maryland.

Potomac Commission
Finds Pollution Is Not
Chief Fishing Trouble
BY NORMAN A. KAHL,
Star Staff Correspondent.

COLONIAL BEACH, Va, Sept. %.
of the Interstate Com
mission on the Potomac River Basin
were on their way back to Wash
ington today with technical data
that may eventually mean an in
crease in the supply of fish and
oysters for the District and other
large Eastern markets.
Commission members and their
guests, comprising more than a
dozen technical experts, left here
by boat this morning after devot-
ing most of yesterday to a study
of fishing conditions.
Only Two Polluted Areas.
Chairman L. Harold Sothoron,
Maryland State Senator from Prince
Georges County, said the commits
sion was convinced pollution of the
Potomac waters is not major fac
tor in the reduced oyster catches Of
recent years.
Except for two local areas along
the river, he said, the water is gen.
orally clear and conducive to the de-
velopment of marine life. These
areas he located around Indianhead,
Md, and in the upper oyster beds
OF the Potomac, few miles above
the Morgantown Bridge
| Commission members agreed that
it would be virtually impossible to
wipe out pollution in these areas.
They explained that deposits from
communities along the river settle
over the oyster beds at these points
and suffocate the oysters.
Resources Not Used.
An important factor in the de-
clining fishing industry, the commits
sion said, is the fact that fishermen
are not using their resources to the
fullest degree.
! Edwin Warfield, chairman of the
Department of Tidewater Fisheries
of Maryland, said only about 10 per
cent Of the fishing resources in the
Potomac are being used. He pro-
posed an educational program
through the public schools to teach
proper conservation methods.
Edwin r. Cotton, secretary of the
commission, said the Technical
Committee, which is part of the
commission, plans to meet in WASH
ington in about two months, to work
out problems brought up at the
three day meeting. In the mean
time, he said, further studies will be
made, especially in relation to the
diminishing fishing industry.

who fought with him on Wake Island
and who had been prisoners also
were waiting to talk to their wives,
who were in the studio in Wash
ington.
He started to say good-by, but
Paddy had two important questions
and he got them in. What about
your whiskers. he asked, have they
grown out any more?" And he
wanted to know If his father could
get razor blades. The major assured
him the whisker situation was under
control.
At the end Paddy took the ear
phones off and his head went down
on the table before him. Those in
/ the studio wondered whether the
emotional strain had finally been
TOO much. But Paddy isn't that
kind of a man. Almost immed-
lately he Strengthened up and his
face showed no loss of the COM
posure which would do credit to a
much older boy
Others Talk to Husbands.
Meanwhile, following the end of
Maj. Devereux's talk with his son,
Mrs. Mary Clifton Lewis talked to
her husband, 1t. William Wallis
Lewis of Culpeper, Va, and Mrs.
Rose Barninger of 4238 Forty third
street NV, to her husband, 1t. c.
A. Barninger. Both officers, Ma
rines, had returned with Maj. Deve-
reux and their first words with
their wives had a listening au-
dience from coast to coast.
1t. Barninger Was conscious OF
that audience.
I'm little bit leery of this micro
phone" he said. II don't know how
many people can hear U.S."
1.-TWO or three" his wife answered,
IN an extraordinary understatement.
Her dark eyes had been shining
Evening star., 1945-09-22

with excitement even before his
greeting of Hello, darling"
Both young women asked their
husbands to telephone them as soon
as they could get home. For Mrs.
Lewis, that meant the home of her
sister, Mrs. C. c. Shute, the wife
of Capt. Shute OF the Navy, at TIA
South Pitt street, Alexandria, where
Mrs. Lewis is staying until her hus-
bands arrival.
Private Talk.
However. the private conversa-
tions py telephone did not have to
wait long. A call went through
from the studio to the group in
California. Mrs. Lewis and Mrs.
Barninger each talked to their hus-
band twice. Paddy talked to his
father again. Paddy's grandparents
Col. and Mrs. John P. WEIGH. and
the majors brother, Joseph S.
Devereux. | West Bradley lane,
Chevy Chase, with whom Paddy and
Col. and Mrs. WEIGH are staying, all
of whom were at the radio station,
also talked to Maj. DevereuX.
On his arrival here Maj. Devereux
will undergo Marine physical ex-
animation as requirement for his
elevation to the rank of lieutenant
colonel. Marine Corps headquarters
here said that Maj. Devereux would
have been promoted long before now,
but that there is rigid rule that a
man must take physical examina-
ton before he is promoted.
In San Francisco, meanwhile, Mai.
Devereux, tired and pale from his
imprisonment, declined to discuss
the defense of Wake or comment on
Gen. MacArthur's occupation policy
until ne makes his Official report in
Washington.
