Can 4-FS Be Whipped Into Fighting Shape!
No One Knows Whether Draft Order
 Would Neon Net Goin to WoF Effort
nv DOUGLASS LARSEN

Washington, Jan. lO.-let sup pose Congress actually does get around to drafting 4-Fs for essential war work as War Mobilization Di- rector James F. Byrncs recommends. What will be the gain?
 Right off the bat Army could start rchabil.tating about 702,600 of the 4.2l7000 and whip them into fighting shape. At least that's the calm of report just released from the Senate Sub- committee on Wartime Health and Education.
 Well, that's a good start. But assurance of results ends there Joker of the whole idea is that nobody knows or is even willing to guess, how many 4-FS are not now in essential work. War Man power Commission says it's too tough to get these statistics. Sc lective Service says it's a prob lem for WING. That what Byrncs says too
 The subcommittee report which has gone into the 4-F situation pretty thoroughly offers statistics: but no clues as to how many 4-Fs might already be up to their necks in war production.
 MILLION MENTAL CASES
 Write off the books immedi- ate'v 443.OO0 called 'manifestly disqualified." These unfortunates are totally blind, have one or more members missing, etc. Even some of these are already in war work.
 More than 100000 4-Fs suffer mental disease" and mental deficiency." Get the black pencil out again and cross out a large batch-the report doesn't say eX- actly how many-oi incurable in- sane, idiots. imbecileS, and mo- rons from these two groups. This leaves spastics. epilepticS, the "pSycho-nemoics" who can stand th mental diSciplineS of service. and the !lliterateS. The committee reports that most of the latter are doing manual laDor in essential work But they're in already. so any draft order won't affect them.
 Now. here's the bonanza -- the report claims. and Mir ByrncS hopes. Almost two and one half million 4-Fs are that way for req sons ranging from syphilis, avoirdu- pois and that old favorite, flat feet to trouble carcsiovaScular more fa- miliarly known as heart trouble Approximately one third of them go that way through residual effect of injury according to the report Result is they now have paralyzed muscles, malformed bones. missing fingers and other obvious defects.

 0. Where do stand on my social security benefits Am I losing out while I'm in uniform
 A. You take Up where you left of with accumulated unemploy- ment benefits, since all states have frozen these accounts for military men. Widows and orphans of serv- icemen killed in the war, however, will have a greater chance Of los- ing out on Social Security death benefits every month the former wage-earner spends in uniform.
 The catch is that they are not covered unless the wage-earner has worked and paid in for half the quarters since Jan. 1, 1887. or since he became 2l. In hundreds of dif- ferent types of cases. young men have forfeited social security cover age because they've been at war two or three years.
 If the widow with dependent child finds she is covered for month ly death benefit payments (with no child she must settle for lump sum paymenD it will have been cut down by time in service, because the non- paying war months will be fig ured in at zero to get tn ebasic average monthly wage on which payments are made.
 For instacne: O man who earned $2OO a month for three years be- fore joining up in l940, was killed at the end of 1943, He was killed because half the quarters since Jan. 1, 1937. are paid up. But his salary average will be reduced to $lOO by the three non paying years. As the social security payment formula worKs out. that gives his widow $25.75 Q month.

MOTHER FINDS
 HOME ON FIRE:
Two Small Children Find Safety on Rear Veranda:
 Cause Given

James, 2, and Lucian, sons of Mir. and Mrs. Anthony Pisciotti. had a narrow escape yesterday when flames swept through their third story rent at l7-l9 Rose street while their mother was out shopping.
 Heat and smoke drove the two tots to the rear veranda, where they were rescued by their mother who, returning from shopping, dropped her bundles and raced up a rear stairway when she heard the children'S cries.
 Capt. Eugene A. Legge, aide to the fire marshal, said the blae was started by an overloaded oil stove that ignited a nearby couch short ly before 4:30 D. m. T he blaze was confined mostly to the living room, although two other roms were dam aged.
 Bremen, led by Chief Thomas F.. Cavanaugh and Deputy Chief Mar tin J. Campion, played two hydrant streams into the flat to box in the blaze.

 PLUG HOLE
 Several Presidential messages have asked Congress to plug this hole in Social Security coverage In the next session one of various plans may be put through. To give seryicemen an automatic monthly wage credit, freeze their status as at wars beginning, include all Fed- eral employees in social security coverage. In the meantime every day brings more bereaved families of servicemen. whose death pay ments are docked for every month in service. if not forfeited entirely.

Alexandra Rezoninq
Action Hit by Hu|fish

Asserting the Alexandria City
Council had taken "high-handed"
action in rezoning a piece of prop
erty at the last Council meeting,
Thomas A. Hulfish, one of its men,
bers, today promised to reopen the
matter for the benefit of adjacent
interested citizens.
At Tuesdays Council meeting the
property at the southeast corner of
Royal and Prince streets was re-
zoned from C-1 residential to d.
commercial. Mr.. Hulfish represents
the first ward, which embraces this
territory, and voted against the
change.
The Councilman said he has
learned the City Council had never
ordered the rezoning advertised
prior to the public hearing even
though such an advertisement may
have been carried in the local paper
While not taking any stand for
or against the rezoning, Mr.. Hulfish
said at Tuesdays meeting he felt
the matter should be held over a
week so that residents of the area,
none of whom were present, could
have chance to state their views.
"One would be led to believe that
the Councilmen had motives other
than that of representing the
citizens of Alexandria" Mr.. Hulfish
said. IT hope in the future they
will not be in such hurry to pass
on matter which affects the people
without giving them an opportunity
to appear in their own behalf"

Nonpartisan Voting
In City Elections
Seen by Gov. Darden
By the Associated Press,

RICHMOND. Va. Dec. 13.-Gov
Darden said yesterday that non
partisan city elections may be neces-
sary this year in Virginia because
election officials in some localities
have overlooked time provisions OF
the War Voters Act.
The Governor said he would study
with Attorney General Abram P
Staples a situation in Roanoke. The
act of 1945 requires candidates for
party primaries to file their decla-
rations 80 days before the primary
election and parties to make and
complete their nominations. as the
law provides, for Mayor and Coun-
Gil members in cities on or before
the first Tuesday in March.
Under these provisions candidates
should have filed last week, but
none had filed in Roanoke. The
Governor said this situation may
be true in other localities.
Gov. Darden also was interested
in another phase of the situation,
the possibility that it might become
necessary to delay the special 9th
district congressional election so
soldiers may vote. Such delay
would leave the 9Th district without
Representative in Congress from
December 31-when Representative
Woodrum, Democrat, leaves Office
until 80 days after the Governor
calls the election.

Alexandra 10 Pay
$4,000 for Tract

Alexandria City Manager Carl
Budwesky said today he had been
authorized by City Council to pay
$4,000 to Henry Kicherer for a
tract of land at Payne street ex-
tended adjacent to Hunting Creek
The property contains l3 acres
of fast land and 81 acres of marsh
land and has been in use by the
city as a dumping ground for sani-
tation refuge other than garbage
Mr.. Budwesky estimated the city
already has filled five acres of the
marsh land with the rubbage ano
dirt dumped there by the Santa
ton Department.
It is expected that the tract will
be the site of a sewage treatment
and disposal plant and possibly a
municipal incinerator. The engi-
neering survey preparatory to con-
struction of the plant is now being
made and Mr.. Budwesky anticipates
selection of the Kicherer tract fol
it's site.

County Wafer Safe,
Residents Assured

Officials Of the Washington Sub
urban Sanitary Commission today
assured Montgomery and Prince
Georges County residents served by
the commission that their water is
perfectly safe for drinking pur-
poses"
The statement was made in re-
sponse to complaints by many per-
sons that their water has a "bao
taste" One complainant, Allen R
Thrift, University Park, told The
Star he has been forced to stor
drinking water and uses only coffee
or tea.
Harry Shaw, assistant chief en-.
gineer of the commission, explained
that heavy rains flush organic
matter into streams from which the
commission obtains its water sup.
ply, causing woody taste
Although the commission has in.
creased the amount of chemicals II
its water publication system. it ha.
not succeeded in removing all thu
bad taste, Mr.. Shaw said.
He admitted that the taste has
persisted more than usual" adding
that the commission is working or
the problem "all the time" At the
same time, he emphasized that thu
water is absolutely safe from 6
psychological viewpoint"
