Gov. Darden Urges
New Citizens 10 Take
Part in Home Rule
Citizenship Scrolls
Given to 125 Fuirfux
County Youths at Affair

Gov. Darden, speaking yesterday
at exercises on the Fairfax Court
house green in honor of youths in
Fairfax County who have become 81
years old since last May, stressed the
importance of citizens sharing in the
responsibility of local government.
He urged those reaching voting
age to share in this work and de-
clared that, while our present form
of government has conferred great
benefits on our citizens, it also has
conferred great responsibilities, and
unless we as citizens assume these
responsibilities our Government can
not endure" The individual should
have an interest in Government, he
said, because it guarantees the pro-
lection of the individual.
State Senator Andrew w. Clarke
presided as master of ceremonies
and the Governor was introduced
by Commissioner of Revenue James
U. Kincheloe. The program opened
with an invocation by the Rev.
Horace C. Lukens. Band selections
were played by the Fairfax High
School Band and group singing was
led by George B. Robey.
The oath of citizenship for those
present to receive citizenship scrolls,
was administered by Judge Paul E.
Brown of the county Circuit Court.
Approximately 125 youths were
eligible to receive the scrolls, pre-
sented by Mrs. Stanley p Stewart,
chairman of the County Citizenship
Committee, sponsor of the program
The benediction was pronounced by
the Rev. Harry G. Balthis.

A public hearing on the applica-

for the licensing of an airport ada

will be held at pm. May 20 at the
Bethesda County Building, it was
announced over the week end by the

sion.
The Maryland National Capital

tending that signs announcing the
change in land use had not been
conspicuously posted as required by
law. Officials said only one sign on
a back road wagon trail had been
displayed and that none of the
nearby property owners were aware
of the request.
The proposed airport is to be
known as the Washington Aviation
Country Club Airport. 1t is located
near Bethesda.

They have to sweat their way

Sergt. Bell said. The veterans crawl
on their stomachs, firing every type
of weapon including a fiamethrower,
to take a simulated Japanese pillbox
built on the polo grounds in West
Potomac Park.
The crowds have been "satisfac-

officials said. The four soldiers suf-
fering from malaria have reported
their cases to the officers in charge
and an extremely violent attack of

them back to the hospital.
Meanwhile, like many soldiers

breeze that ruffled the flags of
the United Nations, approximately
1,500 900 persons representing all
faiths, races and colors, stood in
Central Park yesterday and affirmed
their faith in the Nation that for
thousands of them has been haven
from terror and persecution.

The audience, jamming II blocks

came naturalized in the last year

To Jobs for Veterans

Representative Thorn, Democrat,
OF Ohio, last night urged Congress
to be viligant to keep the door of
opportunity open to battle casual
ties, especially when the natural
sympathy aroused by their plight
begins to disappear"
Speaking at graduation exercises
for class of disabled veterans COM
pleting training at American Uni
versity for duty at national service
officers of the Disabled American
Veterans, Mr.. Thorn praised efforts
of the DAV in correlating training
and jobs.
The DAV has a right in the fu-
ture to ask of the thousands of en-
ployers through the length and
breadth of the land to find in their
organizations certain types of Jobs
under their control" he said, that
by their nature can be set aside for
disabled soldiers and permanently
occupied by them"
The class valedictorian, John A.
Farrell, Bayonne, N. j., suggested
that occupational therapy in all
service hospitals be used to combat
hopelessness and cynicism bred by
idleness.
After graduation breakfast at
the Willard Hotel this morning, the
graduates left for Cincinnati for
a weeks inspection of the DAV
facilities, and then will be sent to
regional offices of the organization
for 18 months on-the-job training.

whatever military or diplomatic
secrets Adolf Hitler's ENJOYS left
behind them in Washington.
The former German Embassy on
Massachusetts avenue, just west Of
Thomas Circle, has been, during the
war, under the care of Switzerland.
But now that there is no govern
ment in Berlin, the Swiss have
agreed to turn it over to the United
States "in trusteeship" for whatever
Reich government may emerge later
The Embassy here and a consulate
general in San Francisco were the
only pieces Of real estate owned In
America by the late Third Reich.
In other cities Germany rented its
conSulates.
Frankly, the State Department
isn't very hopeful of finding any
deep, dark secrets among the papers
left behind by the Germans, who
usually are very methodical about
destroying any documents of an
discriminating nature. When the
Germans closed their legation in
Stockholm last week they hired

went even further and burned the
